Anyone know of any nice minimal looking power control widgets? I.e. BT, WiFi, GPS, brightness. Either individual widgets for each toggle or a bar style.
I would like something that blends nicely with tajm, and battstatt, bit doesn't necessarily need to be text based, icons are fine.

Is anyone else a huge launcher 7 fan?
I love it and I want to share my experience with it.
The best thing about it thus far is the minimalistic look and the ability to colorize tiles with transparency.
Screenshots to come

I like launcher 7 for it's simplicity as well. I recently took advantage of the free sgs4g for my dad as a fathers day gift. I put launcher 7 on it to make it easy for him to access stuff without having to switch screens. Makes it easier for those who can't see the small icons on other launchers. but I would never turn in this phone for a windows phone.

Laucher 7 is great for quicklaunching things. Especially usign a phone while intoxicated. I recommend it with homeswitcher and maybe using the lightweight zedge for big widgets.
Im stil having trouble finding a contact launcher that fits into the launcher 7 scheme.
I'm liking it as well..over Bionic's rom.. super silky smooth scrolling and I enjoy changing the tile colors every few days which freshens it up.. currently mango. I'm sure you guys have done it but if you use the wp7 style status bar.. and transparency.. it adds to the effect. also I'm also using Fede's wp7 music player which works excellent and it flows great with the the wp7 launcher.

i also use his music app, its ridiculous, but where did you get the wp7 style status bar?
The status bar is an option within the app settings.
Can anyone recommend a good todo/task widget that displays decently in this beautiful launcher?
Also ex4 and laucher 7 mix WELL.

Post like a newb. Mod like a dev.
I was wondering if there is an app that allows you to create system settings profiles for 1 click set...
Something like:
Profile:
Office
WiFi-on
Bluetooth-off
GPS-off
Driving
WiFi-off
Bluetooth-on
GPS-on
Home
WiFi-on
Bluetooth-off
GPS-off
Etc...

This is a shot in the dark here because I've never used it, and have deleted it from my ROM, but there is a widget that comes with the stock ROM called the Profile widget.... Maybe that is what it is for?
If that's not it, there must be something in the market or perhaps elsewhere in the ROM?
I've tried the profiles widget, it just changes your sound profile...
I've checked the market, however I might not be using the right search criteria...

Ah ok, I found an app in the market called Quick Profiles... Maybe that will work for ya? Other than that, I'm not sure.
I think I remember that the Epic 4G had a similar feature, where you could turn on different modes that would auto-switch you to different homescreens that you could customize for the situation (work, home, school etc.) It's probably been retained in the latest versions of Touchwiz, as it seemed pretty cool.
I would imagine there's a widget on the market somewhere with what youre looking for. if not, you could just use extended controls so as to quickly change all your settings, since you can customized its widget to control virtually anything.

So i just found that apparently, 2.3 introduced a security feature that blocks apps and widget from turning on the GPS. i am not pleased witht his, as it makes extended controls and anti theft apps (Lookout, Seekdroid etc.) far less useful. bad move, Google. Why u remove features?
I found that the app o installed does not allow to toggle GPS, must be due to that 'feature'

Widget Picker is an app that Romanbb exposed me to.
It is extremely small in size, but does wonder for Type A's like me.
Below is a video to demonstrate what I mean.
If you want it included in a ROM, let the developer know.
If you want to just download it and move to system/app like I did in the video (you see how easy it is)... you can go to THIS THREAD
Pretty cool little app eh?
Had this before, it is a very neat little app.
Don't really have any widgets that require this right now, but for those that do, this is a must.
Doesn't work with tw 4.5 though.
I love this app,I put it in every Rom I use. If you use apps like mClock, minimalistic text or any app that has various widget sizes this is a must have.
Awesome! So simple and easy install and really does it's job. Thanks!

Thanks dever. pls add some function like "show status bar on screen off, hide status bar on screen unlock..." and add widget to control status bar show/hide. thanks.
would be awesome if it can be hidden for the lockscreen only on jb :laugh:
Tried this but gives me a reboot after like a minute. Even the pro does. Maybe it conflicts with my settings and all. But great apps. Im using the gesture control, too bad cant use the hide bar thingy...
Good job! Works like a charm on Motorola RAZR xt910 ICS 4.0.4.
Please add 'exit' button when I run app and when bar is hidden there are no way to go to homescreen when I using tablet mode on Lapdock.
+1 to widget control and restore bar when screen off.
Thanks

I'm using the paid version of gesture control, and I love it. One think I'd like: replacing the Launchpad with a "recent tasks" window. Right now my launchpad consists of a single button to the task switcher, but I'm lazy and I'd like to have one action less to get there..

This application is pretty similar to HideBar (http://ppareit.github.com/HideBar/), an application that has been in development for over a year. It contains an intuitive user interface to hide/show the systembar.
I find the development of customizing tools like GMD very good. But as a developer you should not use the same name. This only leads to confusion for existing users.

This was not intended and happened just because title is kind of generic. Since there is no perfect solution for ICS yet without modding, it is good that alternatives are appearing so everyone can pick solution that works best for them.

NiLS+ is an extension app for NiLS - Notifications on Lock Screen.
If you don't know what NiLS is - See it on Google Play.
Features:
NiLS Floating Panel provides a better way to display and interact with notifications:
- Displayed on top of your lock screen, no matter if it support lock screen widgets or not and it don't need NiLS widget to be placed.
- Slide notification left or right to dismiss.
- Slide notifications list down to dismiss all.
- Slide notification icon right to open notification. (just like on iOS)
- Click to show a preview, scroll down or up in the preview to read all text.
- Slide notification icon on preview to perform additional actions (if available), such as gmail archive, reply missed call with SMS, etc..
- Set position and size, anywhere you want on your lock screen. (be careful not to prevent access to locker icon)
- Set any colors you want as your title color, text color, icon background and notification background.
- Top, Bottom or Center vertical alignment of the notifications list.
NiLS FP requires NiLS to be up and running with the latest version from Google Play. Download NiLS from Google Play.
Download:
NiLS+ is currently on beta, therefore you'll need to activate tester on Google Play to be able to download it:
1. Join NiLS official Google+ community. (required to become a tester)
2. Activate tester on Google Play.
3. Download NiLS FP from Google Play.
Installation:
1. Install NiLS from Google Play
2. Follow NiLS instructions and enable the service.
3. DO NOT Add NiLS widget to your lock screen.
4. Install NiLS FP using instructions above.
5. Lock your screen, when you'll get a notification, it will be displayed on the center of the screen. long click it to resize and set position, or go to NiLS FP settings to set up colors and alignment.
Please let me know if it works for you (please mention your device model) or if you have any suggestions or bug reports.
Screenshots:
Works on SGS3 4.1.2.
This is the best notifications app I've tried so far
A bit laggy but works on my Xperia Z 4.2.2.
Would be great if both apps would be merged.
Installed nils+ on htc one x/cm10.2nightly
I'll give it a go next few days and see if I can make up some suggestions
This is just what I needed.
Let me try this
Sent from my Micromax A110
Ok, works very good.
suggestion: build some kind of filter, I get notifications from xprivacy, titanium media sync and apps I installed through the web playstore. Notifications which I personally find not interesting enough to display on the lockscreen. Maybe something like: "press 5 seconds on the notification to put the app on the ignorelist"
I would pay for nils+ by the way, how much is it gonna cost?
---------- Post added at 08:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:16 PM ----------
ok, ignore my previous post, it's in the nils app, not in the nils+. I assume it will work
@Roymam I have NiLS from the Play Store installed as of right now... do I have to uninstall that version, then download and install v1.2.5r2, then download and install NiLS+ v0.5r5?! Thanks man, awesome app, been using it for about 2 weeks now, used to use DashClock but find this much better!!
EDIT: Nevermind v1.2.5r2 just went live on the Play Store!

You right - you can set to ignore apps on NiLS settings.
I cannot guarantee prices yet. But the introduction price will be as low as I can.

Does this work with widgetlocker?, i have the original nils on my phone and tablet running on top of widgetlocker
My other question is, does this have the ability to keep the notifications even if theyre no longer on the status bar or if i click them? In the original Nils it doesnt do this even if i check the option to do it
I really would like to have that option

1. Yes. Choose WidgetLocker on Lock Screen App option on NiLS+ Service Settings.
2. Yes. Disable two-way sync on NiLS Service Settings.

Feedback
Hi!
I´am using this fantastic app from the start and helped with the first translations. A great project!
Here is my feedback for the new extension:
1. There are apps that add always new lines to the same notification. The problem is that new lines are added to the end of the list. But I need the newest line on top (it´s also an issue with the main app).
2. It happens too often that you accidentally swipe down and kill all entries. There should be a symbol to reach (match) or something else (like you have to do to unlock to the app directly).
3. I would be great to delete expanded notifications my dragging the icon on a symbol like a trashcan
4. How about a system where you can flip through all expanded notifications or display the next one after deleting the current?
5. There should be a mode where you can use the extension together with the widget of the main-app to have the configurable clockfaces...
Keep on rockin!
