Is there some type of toggle apk that I can install to get toggles on the notification pull down like on the Samsung Vibrant?

Root your phone and flash CM7
This is asn app that works really well and does not need you to have a rooted phone...about as close as you can get without rooting. Used it for a while with my Nexus s until the nightlies starting running. Not quite as good as CM7 but a really good alternative!
'Power Control Plus' on AppBrain: http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.siriusapplications.eclairwidgets
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
I prefer to use Quick Settings, search for it on appbrain (I can't post links as newish account, but long time android user)
I like it because it can be configured to look like a dialogue box on top of the app that is currently open (menu -> preferences -> appearance -> Dialog). Also you can hide the notification bar icon so it doesn't clutter the bar up (menu -> preferences -> Status bar shortcut -> Add & hide icon).
I prefer it over Power Control Plus because its free, and you can access it anywhere, and not just from the home screen. for custom Power widgets i also prefer Widgestsoid 2.X (again search on appbrain for same reasons)
but that requires more set up to make a "power" widget.
Hope you like more choices!

thanks ill definitely look into it!
I flashed into CM7 and its working great so far.
So far I've found myself using two settings very often,
settings -> about phone -> battery use
settings -> applications -> manage applications
I'd like these to be buttons on my homescreen if that is possible.
Is that possible?
Does the fact that I'm using syndicate rom 1.1.0 and launcher pro plus change the answer at all?

Most stock roms will pull task manager up if you long press the home key. As for battery use, well settings is on your left soft key, that's as good as it gets

Sorry, somehow I put this in s-9000's forum instead of epic 4g.
For application manager I meant, at least for the epic, the stock location that can be used to install and uninstall programs.
You can use launcher pro for this purpose I believe.
Long press on desktop -> Actions (or something similar, don't remember) -> Find the battery info text
Yeah actions should do the trick. Takes a while to locate what you want though.

MIUI for Beginners
Source: http://en.miui.com/a-10.html
Already flashed MIUI ROM? OK, pick up your phone now, let’s start our happy journey of MIUI ROM.
The first step: selecting apps
Various apps will greatly enrich your cell phone, so firstly let’s select the apps to your taste. Use the Android Market and download what you would like. If you are using a backup app and restoring apps from a previous ROM, only restore the apps and not the data. Otherwise that will create a lot of force close issues.
Tip: How to copy files from the computer to the phone? First connect your phone to your computer via data cable, pull down the notification panel from the top of the phone, click “USB connected”, and then click "Turn on USB storage”.
After copying, do not forget to select the option of “Turn off USB storage”, otherwise "File Manager” in the phone will not be able to find the sd card, as it is being occupied by the computer.
Now I have a lot of apps, how to put them in order?
All apps successfully installed are listed on the desktop, however, they may not be in the order you want, how to put them in order?
Long press an app icon and then you may move it freely. When it is moved to the screen border, the screen will automatically switch to the next screen.
How to add a screen? Use two fingers to pinch on the desktop to enter screen thumbnail mode. Then you may add or delete screens.
How to delete an app? Long press the app icon you want to delete, drag it on top of the trash box and click OK to delete it.
The second step: let's make your phone different.
A phone without style is nothing remarkable, so let’s make your phone different!
Changing wallpaper: Click Menu button on the desktop, select “Change Wallpaper” to replace the wallpaper. In addition to the existing wallpaper in the phone, thousands of pieces of wallpaper are also available online.
Changing theme: Themes make great changes to your interface style. Click “Theme Manager” on the desktop to select the theme you like. Also, more online themes are available online.
Selecting ringtones and more: click “Settings” on the desktop to set call and notification ringtones. In “Personalization” under “Personal” tab, you may find more options.
The third step: it’s time for some advanced techniques!
Well, you are no longer a beginner now, so let’s learn some advanced techniques.
Adding widgets on the desktop: press the Menu button on the desktop, select "Edit Mode", and then click the icon on the upper right corner to access the interface of “Add Widgets”. Choose your favorite widget on the top, and then drag it to the screen below.
Using folders to manage desktop apps: in the interface of “Add Widgets”, drag [Folder] to the desktop. You may drag multiple apps into folders to classify them. After opening the folder, you may click the edit icon in the upper left corner to rename the folder.
Using toggles panel to improve efficiency: drag the notification panel down from the top, click "Toggles" to go to the toggles panel (It goes to the toggles panel in default of notice.) On the panel are listed the most commonly used toggles, you may click to quickly enable or disable a toggle. Long press on the icon will launch the settings for that icon.
Guest mode: enable the “Guest Mode” toggle in the panel, and your calls and text messages logs will be hidden, and all installed applications cannot be removed. You may have a try when you need to show your phone to guests or children.
Importing contacts or binding accounts: you may use some apps to import a batch of contacts, or bind Google account directly in "Settings"> "Personal"> "Accounts & Sync Settings" to sync contacts at any time.
How to print screens? Press "Menu" key and "Volume Down" key at the same time to print a screen. The printed image is saved in the directory of MIUI in the SD card.
How to copy files from the computer without using the data cable? In case of a Wi-Fi connection, enter “File Manager” on the desktop, select the tab of "Remote Administration" to start the service, and then you will get an address. Enter the given address on the computer, then you may copy files without using a data cable!

awesome release.. thanks a lot
I've only had a few hours on it, but so far it's running great and everything appears to be working well. The only odd thing I've found so far are the capacitive buttons not rotating when the phone is in landscape.
I'm sure someone else can confirm this.
How's battery life so far? Thanks!

anyone can confirm they can record video with this ROM and the sound is recorded too?
i have yet to see a miui release with this thing working..
I have a Nook Color with B&N sw v1.3 and ManualNooter 4.6.16.
I just open Market and get a "No matching content in Android Market"...
I reapply MN4.5.18, FlashPlayer_Fix, MN4.6.16 and Market fix procedure and Market still shows the same text...
Something rare: In Market app I tap "Apps" and shows some apps, I tap "Games" and shows some games, but I tap "My apps" and shows "No matching content in Android Market"
Another thing rare: I run AppBrain, tap "Manage And Sync" and shows the complete list of apps installed, including a list of update pending apps, but when i tap "Update (in Market)" get the same "No matching content in Android Market" from Market...
I think (I don't know why) Market app thinks is running in another device different to Nook Color and can't syncronize with the apps installed in the device
Anyone have a idea what's happening or how can I fix this???
clear market data... that should also clear cache.
Clear market data don't fix...

GabrialDestruir said:
[*]Market has limited visibility - This is a known tablet issue, not just a NOOKcolor one.
Start Nook Color Tools.
Select the "All Settings" button.
Unplug your NOOKcolor from computer. (If Plugged in.)
Choose "Manage Applications" from the list.
Select the "All" tab.
Scroll down to "Market" and select it.
Tap "Force stop".
Tap "Clear cache".
Tap the Back button if you have SoftKeys running, else swipe right to left on the status bar at the bottom of the screen (from the clock to the book icon).
Scroll up to "Google Services Framework" and select it.
Tap "Clear data".
Tap "OK".
Tap "Force stop".
Press the n button to return to your launcher.
Start Market.
At the "An error has occurred" message, tap "OK".
Hold your power button to turn off your NOOK Color from the menu.
Turn your NOOK Color back on and give it a moment to find your WiFi connection.
Start Market again, and the problem is resolved.

Either download LCD Density changer and reset from 161 to 160 and choose the option to save on boot. Also clear the market data and try again.
Or....
Use Titanium backup to uninstall the marker updater app, then go to manage applications/market and uninstall the update. Clear data. Try now or reboot first.
After installing a custom ROM on my Nexus One and upgrading from Gingerbread (2.3.6) I was confused when I wasn't able to find the "Hide Caller ID" setting in JellyBean. However, to my fortune and your benefit, I have found this setting hidden away in the phone app!
You simply go to your Phone app --> hit the capacitive menu button --> hit Settings --> Additional Settings --> Caller ID --> Hide number
and there you go!
Thank you, this helped a lot
Pretty straightforward, thank you!
Great!
I was looking for it at the phone settings under "Wireless & Networks" where it normally is without finding it. So thanks for the hint.:good:
