[REQUEST] Notification button bar from i9000

The captivate has Buttons/Toggles in the notification bar and for some reason they have Silent and Vibrate. I would like to have the option to load the i9000 bar that removes Vibration and has GPS instead.
Is this easily accomplished?
At some point i may just switch over to the i9000 ROM altogether, but there still seem to be enough little bugs in even the modified kernels that I am not ready to give up functionality.
Thanks!

Have you tried using an I9000 firmware with the I9000 reorient kernel? It solves most of the compatibility issues

as for bringing their bar over to us (or even editing our bar to choose what we want), I don't think anyone has made much headway on that since it's in framework-res.apk and those are device/ROM specific. I guess you could unpack them and try to find the button toggles and swap them out, but I don't have the expertise to explain/know how to do this.
what bugs are you talking about using a kernel with the i9000 ROMs? the reoriented kernel seems to be basically complete OR you can actually use the 100% stock captivate kernel and it works just as well (except you need to keep the AT&T modem which doesn't have HSUPA). You can even use Unhelpful's kernel for the init.d support for Mobile AP.

I thought the BT bug was still there. I may have to rebuild anyway as I am missing some apps and Samsung widgets after applying voodooo lag fix kernel.

Couldn't tell ya when it comes to BT, I don't have any BT devices

I do a lot of conf. calls on the road, so a BT headset is easier then holding the phone to my head. Especially when i want to surf and post in the forums.

I'd really prefer to have the GPS toggle instead of silent mode myself.

Explain please to us fellow noobs? I really don't know which config files you are talking about editing. Could I ask if the is possibility an app that does the editing for us as well?

WiFi-Data-GPS-Vibrate, would be perfect I'd love to be able to switch.

Use the power control widget then...

Requires being on the specific home screen with said widget, rather than being able to enable/disable in nearly any app

You can also use quick settings from the market and access gps from pull down screen. Although, I agree having it in place of vibrate would be better.

How?!
I want:
Wi-Fi / BlueTooth / GPS / Vibrate
Then, I can get rid of that stupid Power Control widget that's on one of my homescreens, since everything would be accessible.

Agreed this would be nice, it's one of the main reasons I'm using an I9000 ROM on my captivate currently. I hope it really is just a config file setting, that would be super easy to change...
Reason I prefer this over using a separate application/widget is because it's quicker, more convenient, don't have to waste screen space for a widget, don't have to install more crap to waste system space/resources. Also, Silent is useless to me since why not just use vibrate mode, and silent can be accessed fast enough by holding power button anyways.
If this happened I might be a little more inclined to actually use a Captivate ROM, but I still enjoy the I9000 ROM's either way.
(I actually posted a request for this a while back in the themes/apps section)

Exactly. It's redundant.

[Q]How to get music players controls in lockscreen and notification bar?

I remember, way back in the day, when my phone was stock and I thought it was so cool that my music controls would appear when I hit the power button to unlock the screen. Then I thought it was even cooler that I could control Pandora (I forget if it was through lockscreen or through notification bar) the same way.
Now I'm rocking Continuum 5.5 and was wondering if there is something I can do to enable non-stock music players to be controlled through the lockscreen or notification bar without having to add any widgets to my homescreen or without having to download any extra apps. I even hate having to drag the little CD icon down on the lockscreen when I'm using the stock music player. Basically I'm really lazy and would like to control both Pandora and my new Google Music app through the notification bar and hopefully even the lockscreen and I'm very picky about having widgets and such.
tl;dr: can I control non-stock music apps through lockscreen and/or notification bar without having to download any apps or add any widgets?

I would live that too, my stock music player controls dissapeared when I unlock the screen now

Check out Power Amp in the market. Does what your asking and more
Now if it only was a light sabor too....

I know Symply and Subpression did this for all lock screens. Samsung based lock screens work with Samsung player, other lock screens work with any other player, don't know for sure Pandora, but I thought they did. I ran symply for a while, buts its not as stable as continuum.

Well... the whole point is that I don't want to download any extra apps other than the ones I use, i.e. Pandora and Google Music. Besides, I've used PowerAMP in the past, when it was still free and I thought it sucked. Way too bloated with crap I don't need and a terrible UI.

I've tried all the lockscreens that come with Continuum 5.5 with Pandora, Google Music, and Winamp, and none of them had controls on the lockscreen. I'm also wanting controls in the notification bar again, I miss that too.

I see that in the description for the "Obsession" ROM it says that a few of its lockscreens will work with ANY non-Samsung music player. Can someone running that ROM confirm whether it'll give me lockscreen controls for Pandora and/or Google Music? Thanks.

Did we find a solution to this???

Continuum 5.6 has music controls on lock screen. Not sure about pandora though. I'll check it out in a few

Yep works with pandora

So to answer your question, you can upgrade to continuum 5.6 and that will give you like four different lock screens that will have music controls for non-stock music players and pandora on the lock screen. As far as notification controls, they don't seem to be there.

Wow, the music controls only work on the Epic and Glass lockscreens. Lol...

if you are referring to stock music player and continuum 5.6 then yes. But on 5.6 there is 9 lock screens., and several have music controls that work with any non-stock music player. Goto settings/lockscreen menu/lockscreen

Nope, I'm on Mosaic IV.

How do you get the miui lock screen to work on continuum 5.6 to look like the screen shots? Mine just has the lock slider on the left and the volume slider on the right. No music controls, and doesn't have the buttons like all the miui screen shots have.

Try posting in the rom's Q&A thread

Just added smart notifications to Media Utilities which basically adds notification controls to applications that have not added them yet like Pandora. Will automatically hide notifications if you switch the anther media app.

[Q] Music player?

I am running the Ultimate rom, which is silky smooth. My only question is I love the stock music player at the bottom of my lockscreen. How can I put the music player back on the bottom of my lockscreen? I think it's just easy access for me to use. Thanks in advance for any help.

isnt there lockscreen shortcuts option

That will bring up my mp3 player and then have to go into it. Before, it will just bring up the rewind, play and forward button only. I will play around with it now and see what I can do. I just got my note and still haven't taking full advantage of it yet. lol

[Q] Media Player controls on pattern unlock screen?

Hi all,
I have recently upgaded my trusty old SII to an i9305, and there is one thing that's bothering me. My SII had music/media player controls on the pattern unlock screen, so that I could swipe past widgetlocker and then control whatever media player was in use (e.g. PlayerPro, Tune In etc). However, they don't appear to be working on my SIII. I'm running RipperRom V13.
Is there something in settings or JKay that I need to do in order to enable this?

is ur Rom based on stock 4.1.2 if so touchwiz 5 doesn't have music controls on lockscreen

Right that must be it - how annoying!
Thanks for your reply. I guess i'll need to find a widget that'll work with any media player...

[Q] stock music app in costum roms?

Well, I had enough with my stock rom,
The only thing that stop me from moving on to costume roms is the stock music player.
He is a bit ugly and the sound quality is not that good but he have some great features
Like controlling the volume without opening the screen and the small control menu
In the lock screen witch enable u to do pretty much anything without passing the lock screen.
Both of them r vey useful (like when u in the gym/working out etc..)
So….
1. Is it possible to import it from the stock rom to other costume roms ??
2. Since I think I know the answer (NOOO ) anybody know another music app that can do this stuff?
Thanks…

Do you mean using the volume rocker? I guess that works on every single app

I believe you mean the notification widget? Can't recall the controls being on the lockscreen in stock.. Most apps these days have that function too. 4.2+ ROMs do put your music controls on the lockscreen though! In in CM based ROMs you can also skip to the next song by holding the VOL+ button while the screen is off.
I personally use Google Play Music, and it has all the functions I need. (except for a sleep timer...)
Hope this helps!

I doubt it since alternatives from poweramp to fusion music player all annihilate with no competition the stock music app...
