[Q] Move the menu/status bar to the top? - TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Any way to change the bar to the top? CM7 had the option but not there in CM9 . I tried Alpha 0, couldn't use it, was hoping it would be sorted by now, so tried Alpha 2 now, still no joy though, so will have to go back to CM7 again, unless anyone knows how?
Thanks.

I'm sure it will eventually be an option. I actually enjoyed having the status bar on top. Keep in mind though CM9 is still in Alpha stages, so once they fix whatever is needed for it to become a Beta, it'd be a safe guess they would focus on UI tweaks.

[REQ] Power Control in Notifications Like CM9

For some reason the latest CM9 ROM that I installed was wildly unstable on my NS4G, but I really enjoy the power controls in the notifications.
Is there any way to port this functionality to the stock ROM? I'm willing to do some leg work if this hasn't been done, but need to know where to start.
I found something similar for the battery icon here:

I really do enjoy the stock 4.0.4 but a few tweaks is all I want.
Widgetsoid
You can try Widgetsoid on google play. It allows you to control a lot things in the notification panel.
Try this one.. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.notificationToggle

Thank you guys for the responses.
I've tried both, and while they both work pretty well the 4G toggle does not work properly. They both bring me to the details of the 4G settings instead of just toggling it on/off.
Would I be on the right path if I simply started digging into both the CM9, and stock ICS ROMs and started comparing differences? Any idea if there is an apk that controls this? Like maybe SystemUI.apk? Definitely not above going in and monkeying with it.

[Q] Notification and toggles : 2 "clicks"

I'm on AOSP (paranoidandroid CM9) in tablet mode, and what I find most annoying is the notification bar...to access the toggles you have to click one time to make the notifications appear, and a second time to access the toggles...is there a way to make the whole thing appear with one touch ?
Using stock AOSP - there is no way to do this. You need 3rd party mods.
Thanks for the answer..I don't know how the guys at google thought it would be a good idea to do it this way.

True, especially that it's a tablet UI which means...lots of space on the screen.

here you have a nav bar and it should work on CM10, but I don't know if you can install it on your phone because of your broken buttons.

Actually it's just a small change in a configuration file. Looks like it disables the hardware buttons and thus defaults to using on-screen buttons. I guess it should work on any device with a version of Android that reads that setting.
Seeing as you're using CM9 you probably already have root and a root-capable file browser, so it's really just editing a file.
thanks for answers
i finally use slim beam 3.1 that have the option of nav bar already installed and can be activated from the settings.

I haven't used CM in a while, but I believe its meant to be like that. As I said, I haven't used CM in a while, so I might be wrong.

It's still there. Annoying as hell to be honest. Always have to change app/go into task manager to see the notification bar.

Have you noticed how old is this thread? I also approached exactly the same problem, but there is option in more customizable roms (like carbon, slim roms, liquid smooth, illusion) called "status bar peek" or something similar, which enables similar behaviour of status bar like in Samsung stock rom.
Do not know if it is in CM nightlies...

Now that my bootloader is unlocked I have a question

All I really want is to enable my back button to serve as a menu button so I can get rid of the black bar. If I could add some settings toggles to the notification shade too, great, if not Power Toggles is working just fine. I like Sense 5, don't want to get rid of it. I don't want a heavily modded rom. Just want something as fast and stable as complete stock with the ability to add the tweaks mentioned above. I searched around and couldn't really find the answer, so if anyone could point me in the right direction, that would be great.

Patience. These things will come that I promise but they are not here yet. Give the devs a few weeks and you will be rewarded

I have no problems waiting. I always have a hard time finding what I'm looking for on XDA so I wasn't sure if it was just me being a derp about the search or if it really wasn't out yet.
