Just a quick question. With the latest update to the Maximus 7 ROM (May 19th Update), we got toggles in the notification bar. I was just wondering if there was anyway to change which toggles show, because there is no toggle for brightness and that is something i use quite often.

If you can disable the Maximus toggle bar then I'd just install powertoggles(free), they're wonderfully customizable in looks and options.
Alternatively you should be able to swipe over and show more toggles, almost all of the rom toggles I've seen work that way although I haven't tried Maximus since the latest update.

That was my first thought, as i have an app called notification toggles which is very customisable and i wanted to keep using it. It seems that the new toggles are baked into the ROM though so i'm stuck. Thanks for your suggestion anyway.

Did you try swiping back and forth on the toggles? I'm using trickdroid and I think it's the same basic toggle mod for both, when I swipe just one icon over there's a brightness option.

Yeah i've swiped and everything. It has WiFi, Bluetooth, Mobile data, Airplane mode, Silent, Vibrate, GPS, Sync, Rotate. I wouldve thought that Brightness would be more important that Auto rotate!

I would like to be able to control music from the drop down of the notification bar. Using Widgetsoid I can get the controls in the notification bar but they do not function at all, is there any fix for this?
Also the widgetsoid widget when placed on the homescreen works perfectly it just doesnt work in the notification dropdown.

The current version of CyanogenMod allows for custom items to be placed in the status bar. There are options for play, forward, back, and pause. I use it and it works great.
That's cos some roms don't have the ability to have more then one touch function widget per notification line, I forget what's it's called but you need to enable the function in the frame work res file. Not a quick or easy thing to do.
Widgets in the notif bar is awesome.

Thanks for the responses. My phone isn't rooted but this is reason enough
If you need help rooting, I posted this in another thread last night.
Third, One Click Root is very idiot proof. But I will run you through a very brief guide: Download and install the driver for your respective computer's OS here and download the latest version of Pete's One Click Root. http://www.psouza4.com/droid3/ Then, enable USB debugging by going under settings-> Applications-> Development, and checking the box. Assuming you have the correct drivers installed on your computer, you should plug your phone in and allow it to recognize the device and such. After it's all done, open up Pete's One Click Root and simply click Root My Phone. Let it do it's thing, then you are done.

Have you considered Widgetzoid? You can create a widget with the media buttons and have it placed in the pull down bar.
Make sure you have the correct widgetsoid (two versions), and do any other selections work from the notification bar?

I am using widgetsoid 2.x and have succesfully placed the music controls in the notification bar but all they do is activate a popup which allows me to control music which is cool but i would like to use them in the notification bar dropdown like you can on the LG revolution.
I think will root my phone sometime this week most likely with Maverick 2.0 as it seems to be pretty solid
Does anyone know if darkdroid supports widgets in the notification bar?
Hey all,
I know rom development is in the works, but I feel like I'm lost without toggles in the "pull down notification" area. I was put on to "Power Controls" from the Play Store and it works great. It's free, customizable, and works without root for those that aren't into that sort of thing!
You can find it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.painless.pc&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
Hope this helps a few folks out!
Thanks,

just a heads up to your heads up.. i used this app with ICS and loved it, was exactly what I needed in the notification bar. However with JB this app hurts the experience. In JB the top notification is expanded for greater viewing and actions. This app is treated as a notification and will always be treated as your top notification and you lose the whole JB notification functionality.
Notification Toggle fits well. ICS icons match and notification priority and icon can be changed so it's almost seamless.

Ditto. Works awesome.
Btw- you can manually expand JB notifications with a pinch-to-zoom.

I use Elixar 2. It's pretty nice, adds toggles to your pull down notifications. I don't think it requires root (though some of the features in it do if you want to use them all).

I have been using a similar app called Widgesoid to implement that toggle for a while. I had been using it in 4.0.4 and it is still there since upgrading to 4.1.1 and I expand my emails all the time to see who said what. Maybe it is this app(people said the same thing about Widgetsoid), or because I already had it installed when upgrading, but I don't know what you mean by losing that functionality. Still works fine for me.

I use the "widgetsoid" app to create a permanent occurrence of customizable toggles in the Notification Tray. My primary setup includes: airplane mode, wifi, wifi tether, bluetooth, rotation lock, screen brightness, flashlight.

The Standard "Power Controls" toggles in already in the widgets tab.

But that can only be used while on the home screen. Having them in the notification section allows quick access anywhere there is a status bar visible.

is there anyway to have the toggles just toggle instead of going to the option in settings? like when I tap the data icon it goes to the settings instead of just toggling it. 4.2.2 didnt do this. BTW just to be clear im talking about the stock android toggles like when you tap the icon on the right top side of the notification pulldown

On GE it is different to Sense. To activate toggles such as Data, longpress the toggle and it will activate/de-activate, in the same way as it does on Sense by just touching once.
At least it's long press to actually toggle.

Hi,
on installing the Null_18-ROM I set the Checkbox for "THE FULL SYSTEMUI" in Aroma-Installer. After that I got the Notification Bar, which was very nice. But on the other side the Double Tap for Brightness/Sound was disappointed.
Because of that I installed the ROM new without "THE FULL SYSTEMUI". The double tap now works again, but I have no Notification Bar.
Is it possible to reinstall only the Notification Bar? Or is there a way to activate it on Nova Launcher? I've looked for but I didn't found it.
Thx forward.
I'm not certain if that's possible, but a workaround is to put a brightness toggle widget on your home/lockscreen. That's been working pretty well for me.

I was playing around with tasker and you can also assign a gesture in Nova to a tasker "task" that toggles between torch and normal.
The task could look something like:
1) Auto Brightness -- Set Off
2) Variable Add -- Name %BTOG Value 1
3) Display Brightness -- Level 30 -- If %BTOG Is Even
4) Display Brightness -- Level 255 -- If %BTOG Is Odd
Let me know if you're interested and I can go into more detail.
Thanks a lot for reply
@almulder1092
Maybe I'll try your way.
The Notification Bar is nice to have but not a must have
i am running Stock up including clock face but with NULL_18 as base for extra benefits.
how can i quickly see the battery status like what i see when i plug it in?
currently i have to go to Settings > Battery which is not quick and easy.
i had used the Watch Style app where you can get faces with battery but it seemed to use more battery and i like Stock look.
thanks for any suggestions.

When I double-tap, the status bar shows up. The problem is now when I load a full-screen app, the status bar is always there at the top. How do I go back to hiding the status bar at all times?

Are you looking for a setting to switch back to the original tw launcher or for use in the nova launcher? To set touch whizz as the default launcher just go to nova settings and it's the first option, select touch whizz, switch the screen of and use the twisting arm wake gesture to select home. If you're looking at changing the nova settings it might be an idea to reflash null and not check full ui in the aroma options. I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for though. It's a bit late here and I'm a bit frazzled

I'm in the TouchWiz launcher / shell, which is nice. No issue there. My problem is I two-finger tapped or double-tapped the screen to try gestures, and the status bar appeared at the top, showing the battery %, time, Bluetooth icon, etc. I now have no way to make this status bar disappear at the top. For example, I see it when I'm in Settings, or in the root browser, or any custom app.
It seems the two-finger tap toggled it on, but there is no way to toggle it off. Where is the setting to turn it off?

That's not the two finger toggle. The two finger toggle on stock or null without full system ui is a shortcut to brightness/volume and battery screen. Sounds like you've selected full system ui in the aroma settings. I can't see any options to switch off the status bar in apps. You can turn it off on the nova launcher with nova settings but that doesn't apply to apps. You can try flashing the Rom again and uncheck the full status ui and see if the status bar is still present in third party apps or you can download another third party app to control things like the status bar in apps. There's a list of third party apps you could use in the help sticky null_/free falling theme..... It's under notifications icons/soft buttons
