[Q] Question about the notification bar? - EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I personally dont like the ASOP drop down notification bar. is there a way on CM7/nightlies to customize it. i personally highly prefer the sense version much better from like SSv5 or mikg, even if i have to switch to something that resembles the MIUI drop down bar.

Yes.

Specify, what don't you like about it? If it's the theming of it that can easily be changed by different Theme Chooser apks. There are plenty that try and replicate Sense. If it's the recent apps then I think you're out of luck.

im not concerned about the recent apps. more so just where it has two pages. like where one is for notifications, and then the other tab which i cant recall the name too it at the momment. i like the setup of that. I dont like the setup of where the wifi, data, gps, airplain, and 4g are placed. but i use them alot so being in the drop down bar is nice, just if i could like get the 2 page setup like the sense does. dont need the recent apps.

[REQ] App to put Power control in status bar like MIUI rom

Firstly, each to there own, but I'm not a fan of the MIUI rom, I've tried a few builds but its just too much like an iphone layout for me.
However there was one part I really liked & that was the power control functions in the pull down status bar: Wi-Fi, 3G, Vibrate, Silent, Bluetooth etc. like you would get on a widget.
Having them on the status bar was a great idea.
I know certain roms like espresso have it on, but was wondering if anyone knew of an app that can do the same?
I have so far found apps in the market that can do calendar or Wi-Fi, but nothing that can do everything.
Any ideas?

Aah okay, that'll explain why I haven't seen them lol. Thanks
Thanks, but I'm getting tired of flashing new roms now, I'm back on stock at the moment, just thought someone may of known of an app, doesn't even have to be as fancy as MIUI just put an option in the notification bar.
Maybe I'll look at the 4G rom when it's a full stable release...

Im thinking there could be a way to do that using Tasker (since you can do most things with it). Something to set a notification that if you click it can define an event or something of the sort. If you have zero programming knowledge whatsoever then Tasker might be a little difficult for you though.

[Q] Request - Any Notification Bar "On/Off" Power mods avail for GB 2.3.3?

Hey Guy's,
I'm currently on WolfBreaks GingerBread 2.3.3 Build v3.7.0, and i'm wondering if there are any compatible Notification bar power control widget mods that i can apply to this rom? His ROM is nearly perfect in my opinion, the only real thing i'm missing is the convenience of being able to turn things on or off from status bar like bluetooth, gps, etc.. like i did with Cyanogen based mods in the past.
This comes in super handy especially when my phone is docked in car mode. Saves me the trouble of having to fiddle with backing out of an app to turn these features on or off while driving.
I am aware that there are apps on the market that already provide this functionality like the Widgetsoid app, however what i'm looking for is a more elagent tightly integrated mod that fits in with the overall theme and does not look like a widget was simply placed on the pull down tray.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help! Also, my apologies if this has been posted elsewhere, i did search but could not find an answer to my question before posting.
I should also clarify what i mean by "tightly integrated", apps like Widgetsoid only "link" to a separate pop-up menu where the control is turned on or off. So it takes several clicks and various screens to turn something on or off. What i want is to be able to turn the various different options on or off with a single click right from the Notification bar, like you find in the Cynaogen mods.

Dude, I use widgetsoid2 since forever and no pop up windows to Turn things on or off........ even with apn.......but its not in the notification window....
Skeb, that's the problem though. When you do place Widgetsoid in the notification bar, it no longer works with a single click. I already have widgets placed on my desktop for for turning various things on or off, and they do work with a single click. However when driving with google navigation turned on for example, i want to be able to do the same by swiping down the notification tray to enable bluetooth with a single click, without having to go to the desktop to use the widget, then go back to navigation.
Try it yourself, when you place any of these widgets on your notifcation tray it will no longer work with a single click, it instead brings up a seperate pop up window.
It's not exactly a deal breaker, but if i can get the same functionality that i had using Cyanogen mod's, then i would be really happy!
Agreed, I would love that feature too!
To those who care about this feature. I just wanted to post an update that WolfBreaks's GB rom will now be introducing Cyanogen style status bar control widgets in his v4.0 rom which will be released very shortly. I also noticed that EWJet CM7 port also includes this. Nice to know i did not have to wait long to see this feature!

There is no such thing as "EWJet CM7 port",
it's still stock SE ROM, tweaked!
Just to clear out the confusion!
But yes, statubar toggles are finally here for stock ROMs!
You can use widgetsoid, its an app that adds this functionality

[Q] Dropdown toggles.

I've been on a Galaxy S with miui for some time before switching back (the Hero days ^^) to Htc.
Didn't previous sense versions 3.0 & 3.5 have dropdown toggles as seen in Miui and samsung roms?
I've searched, but found no setting to enable anything, and I miss them (the included settings widgets are just horrid). The settings button is great and all, but it still takes a bit of "diving" to find the setting I want to change.
In fact doesn't even AOSP feature toggles? or is it a cyanogen hack in ICS as well?
Some of the sense roms are starting to implement the quick settings in the notification panel at the minute, give it a wee bit of time to catch on.
Rock On!
I'm using notification toggle and it's working out quite well for me. Give it a shot until the ROMs catch up

With root thats actually all i need.
Now where is the "Solved" button on this thread?
There's also Widgetsoid if anyone's looking for an alternative.
Another vote for Notifcation Toggle. I'm able to add in shortcuts to Camera etc - apps that I want quick/easy access to.

I downloaded it via this recommendation and I love it. You can customize the widget icons a little as well as their color (both active and inactive color) Mine looks like this (wifi, gps, vibrate, brightness, torch). Exactly what I was looking for.

HTC Sense StatusBar Icons for N5?

Ah, I know, I might get killed, but is there a way to get HTC Sense StatusBar Icons (network, wlan, battery) to the N5? I liked them a lot on my HTC devices and miss them now.

There is a way, but it would look really weird with the other parts of stock android. All you have to do is decompile the HTC systemui.apk and the N5 apk, then swap all the status bar PNGs.

Hi,
And you need a rom with Theme Chooser, maybe the OP don't want to flash a rom like CM..., for sure it will be more difficult.

But he didn't state what ROM he had. He only asked how he could get sense icons.
Hey, thanks everybody for the suggestions. I'm running stock 4.4.2 and want to stay there. Xposed and Gravity serves all my modding needs. I will have a look to ex-themer. Another launcher is no option though. My N5 runs so stable and smooth (far far better than my previous HTCs with multiple custom roms). Maybe I really should extract the icons from the UI app. Only question is what happens with scaling.

Nothing happens because both phones are XXHDPI. You have to get the images from the HTC One or another HTC phone with a 1080p screen. You should try it, but make a backup so if it doesn't work you don't have to flash the entire factory image.

Lg UI

I am actually surprised that the LG skin is actually pretty good once you move past the ugly TW like launcher/icons. Seems less bloated than TW yet has many features. I have Google now launcher along with icon changer to change the hideous square icons.
Things I like;
1)dual screen,
2)qslide,
3)being able to customize nav bar, 4)being able to set apps to immersive mode useful for apps that don't do that especially games.
Things I don't like;
1)the launcher and the icons.
2)I don't like tab view, fortunately you can change to list view. B
3) battery life, seems like software is optimized to its fullest potential in terms of battery life
Also what does LG call their UI?
Would be nice if the had a menu button for the home for the rare app that actually needs it
Also is there a way to get either the battery icon or the percentage, but not both?
No ui is more hideous than touchjizz. Ugliest thing ever

The problem is that if you use a different launcher the icons remain. For instance using Google now launcher the icons look especially atrocious.

Well even with launcher the icons remain. You can't always change the icons with icon pack like with apex/nova.

Actually with LG Launcher, they have their own way. Long press on the icon whos image you want to change. A lil paint brush will appear at the right side of the icon. Press it, it will take you to some default alternative icons LG has in place for you. Additionally, if you have downloaded or made your own...image, you can use that. Its fairly easy, give it a shot

The icon packs are not compatible with the launcher. I usually download icon GRAPHIC packs from google. Can even looking at some icon community on g+ for those who like posting the graphics. The actual apk can't be install. Hope that make sense.

Heads up, the menu button is still there. Long press on the recent apps button (square). That's it. Works on all the apps I've tried so far.

Glad to see LG keeping that menu button, I know I don't use it often but there are times I need it on my G3. LG did right by this phone...
Matt
The apps button long press for menu is also the same on my Note pro 12.2 tablet.
I was so annoyed when I saw they had gotten rid of the menu button and found out about the long press after some googling.
Tested it right away on my v10...relief!

You can turn the % off and keep the icon. Settings - Battery - uncheck show battery %

IMO, once you replace the launcher and the icons it actually resembles stock android a little.
The Glim Icon Pack on Google Play works with the default LG Home launcher
I use Nova Launcher... Aside from status bar and settings the phone looks pretty close to vanilla Android when compared to Touchwiz or Sense. However there's always purists who will say it's not enough.
It keeps me happy, my G3 is still pretty snappy running Nova. Different strokes!

I still will always prefer stock android. I also like sense as well, it doesn't look like stock but a lot of the layout is close even though they use their own icons and color schemes.
I really hope CM takes on the V10. The second screen will probably be a challenge as it's not really a second screen.
