[REQ] Power Control in Notifications Like CM9 - Nexus S Themes and Apps

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.

[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.

[APP] Notification Toggle by j4velin, especially useful for non-CM users

From the front page (again):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1037817
I know there's some similar functionality in some previous Market apps, but this sounds closer to the CM6/7 implementation of the notification power widgets. Still not exactly the same but perhaps closer. This is one of the main reasons I use CM ROMs, but for those who want to use AOSP or even 2.1 but miss the notification power widgets, maybe this app will help.
I haven't tested yet on the Eris, and I don't know if the app's "all in one" notification will work on our phone, but whoever tests this first please let us know.
It works but not a fan of it. Takes up to much screen space on the notification menu.

+1 on that, the notification toggle is what sold me on CM to start and keeps me coming back. it brought me back from a brief period using xtrSENSE, and is currently the main thing keeping me from going whole hog on the recent AOSP builds.

I did the same thing, I went back to xtrSENSE briefly after some frustration with Froyo, then GB became useable.

[Q] Brightness adjust slider action lost ICS

Hi there!
After updating to LPY slider action (hold top line for a second and then slide to left or right) to control the brightness do not work any more. Is that only me or this feature are not implemented to 4.0?
Thanks!
Yeah I noticed it was gone too, which is odd considering it is not something I think Samsung would have dumped.
I seemed to have lost the slider functionality too after official ICS update from Samsung. Any way to get this back...it was useful.
Slider not working! Good stuff gone!
anyway to get it back? should we expect a patch or something?
Yes, it's especially odd considering one of the leaked ics builds originally had it.
I am hoping to get it back as well. Love shortcuts like this, it was very useful.
It was great feature., why would they take it out? :banghead:
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA
hi,
i also miss this function. but now i m using switchpro widget.. can add toggle at the notification panel, n put the brightness toggle here..

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
TrickDroid rom has all the things you want and is stock

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.

[Q] [XV] Quick Settings and phone freezing problem on NeoWave rom

My XV is running NeoWave rom and I can't find a way to add some titles to Quick Setting (Toogle Sound mode, Toogle Wifi AP, etc...) like some other custom roms, so someone please tell me how can I do that
Regard phone freezing issue, my phone sometimes freeze when charging, charging LED still on when I unplug the phone, and I can't do anything except pulling out the battery. I never had this problem with stock rom, only with custom rom (Carbon and NeoWave). How can I fix this?
OmniRom doesn't support some Quick Settings that are included in other roms.
I suggest installing the app "Safe Charge" from Play Store to get rid of the freeze issues.
You can "swipe" a lot of tiles in the quicksettings, to show a secondary function.
The volume buttin changes to sound settings, the WiFi button to tethering, the network data button to data connection, the battery percentage to battery status etc.
All settings are there

Haha I didn't know that, OmniRom has its own style huh Thank you very much :fingers-crossed:

I tried Safe Charge but it seems the issue still persist. Btw love your rom so much, only some minor problem with ART but overall it's great :good::good::good:
One more question, in other roms some Quick Settings titles have their own setting. For example I can remove Silent and Ringer only mode in Sound title, only Vibrate and Sound+Vibrate left. So does NeoWave rom has this option as well?
I haven't quite figured that out.
When you deblock the buttons so that you can move them, some of them can be changed size and transparency when clicked. I imagine that has something to do with it, but i did not experiment.
Already installed Safe Charge and SOD has even been more frequently. I missed my morning alarms because of that. I never experienced that on any stock-based rom. Is it kernel related?
It's strange, as only a few people have SoDs. I personally don't.
So sad. I had sudden shutdown problem with stock rom before, then I changed to Carbon then your rom and that problem has gone, but now SoD.
I think Quick Settings lacks customizations compared to other rom. As far as I know, this is rom-integrated, so GravityBox (and other Xposed modules, too) won't work. It means only you can make some modifications to this, right?
It requires quite a lot of modding to add quick settings.
I dont have a lot of time for developing in the next months. Sorry.
@WhiteNeo Don't feel sorry bro, you've already work really hard to bring us this wonderful rom :good::good::good: And beside that, it seems I'm the only one request this feature, and maybe other guys prefer Omni-style Quick Settings, so it would be great if you could provide a flashable zip for this modification, of course only if you have time Good luck with your studying
