Samsung Epic taskbar Radio on/off buttons port to EVO??

I've been searching everywhere and see ports or attempts at the Epic launcher/touchwiz, etc. being ported. I would rather stick with Sense.
However the 4 radio on/off buttons hidden away with the task bar seems perfect and would love to see it ported to the EVO.
Is anybody working on this or have any ideas/suggestions?

Agreed! This would be so amazing… I think the best bet would be for someone to add it to CM6, as it seems more like a core OS feature than an addon.

probably wont happen, I asked about this a few months back and many devs answered with why not. for it to happen we would need to port the framework from the galaxy s phones. it can happen, but it would take a lot of work. i would love this feature too though.

Would love this also....BOUNTY anyone???

Isn't there already an app that can place a control bar in the notication area?

Your sig is obnoxiously large. Why don't you resize it?

I think what you're looking for is bar control

Bar Control is ok. It let's you put app short cuts in control bar. What the Epic task bar does is keep the Radio on/off buttons hidden till you pull down. Something we need but hidden away, yet quickly and easily accessible!
It like receiving a notification in your pull down task bar, but it's permanent!
The market app "Notification Status" comes closest to doing the same thing. It cost .99yuan

I would to also love this function on my EVO. My wife has the Epic 4g & I love the status bar buttons. Tried some other apps, can't find anything that works as simple as the Epic4g buttons.

CyanogenMod Nightly (after build 116) has this built in. You can select what you want to have in the bar, just like for the Power Control widget (WiFi, Bluetooth, Hotspot, GPS, Sound, Brightness, Auto-Sync, Screen shut-off timer, Auto-rotate, 2G/3G (doesn't work on CDMA phones), data on/off, lockscreen on/off, airplane mode, etc.)

I was looking for the same thing, best I could find was using "quick desk beta" (double tap home to bring up a screen over your current app and add whatever widgets you need to it) I have most of the curvefish widgets on it (brightness, gps, airplane, WiFi, auto rotate, etc pretty much everything but a 4g toggle)

[Q] looking for quick settings in CM7

I'm new and I've searched the threads and of the links i have found no one has answered them. So please don't flame me for not searching.
I recently rooted and have tried a few roms. I liked CoreDroid, but I recently switched to CM7 stable (7.0.3) and haven't wanted to go back. However there are 2 things that I miss from CoreDroid that I don't have.
1 - the quick settings tab under the notifications pull down. So that I can lower the media volume. Ultimately i'm looking for an easy way to mute the sound when playing games, and the other settings do not seem to work.
2 - Someone had a package for the battery icon in the status bar of CoreDroid to change the battery to the circle battery. Will that work in CM7?

#1. Check under cm settings for sound profiles. I am sure your answer is in there.
#2. NO!!! You can just got the ultimate kitchen and create a flashable add on for a circle battery an d a lot more! If you flash the other one from coredroid you will need to flash the rom over again as it will soft brick.

Both of your concerns can be addressed, here is what you need to do.
CM7 has a feature that is better than the HTC Sense quick settings tab. There is a built-in power widget in the notification bar at the top of the screen, where you can pick and choose exactly which toggles you want to go there (you will want to add the "Toggle Sound" button). To configure it, press your phone's menu button > CyanogenMod settings > Interface > Notification power widget > Widget buttons. You will see around 18 buttons that you can enable/disable. The buttons that are enabled are what will show up in the notification bar. At the bottom of this screen you can also customize the modes of some of the buttons (the sound toggle is configurable to allow you to toggle between different sound modes). Go back one screen and you'll see "Widget button order" where you can change the order of the buttons from left to right. The notification bar can hold 6 or 7 buttons before you'll have to swipe to the right to see any additional ones (I've got 9 buttons).
There is a circle battery mod for CM7 in this thread. If you primarily just want the battery only then you'll want to flash the file called CM7_stable-DHD-SmoothC.zip (you flash this in recovery mode). If you want to give CM7 more of a blue themed look in addition to the circle battery, then flash the file named CM7_stable-DHD-Blue_SmoothC.zip

Thanks guys. I've tried the settings in the power widget. It still doesn't change the media volume. Could it be a bug? If i set it to vibrate or silent neither changes the media volume.
Thanks for the circle battery post, i'll try that this weekend. I'm new to the droid, been brainwashed by apple for a long time. So far i'm not looking back.

[Q] Hidden tricks

OK so while playing with my cell I found out that if you hold down where the status bar pops up and slide your finger left or right it adjust the brightness level, just like sliding the bar in the settings menu.
So is this just in the Infinity ROM or a stock feature?
Has this been talked about before?
Is there any other little secrets like this?
Just wondering, lol. Yes its a boring Sunday.

Stock feature. Only works if auto-brightness is turned off.

Thanks for the info. I think I found out about it once before but forgot about it.

Stock feature. A couple more things:
1. back + home = screenshot
2. On the initial setup of the phone, where it says Welcome to Android with the Droid man (ie when you first install Infinity) you can fully bypass the setup by pressing all four corners counterclockwise, starting at the top right.

flashlight notification toggle?

Would it be possible to implement a flashlight notification toggle like in cm 10.1 and long press home button activiation in lock screen??
I have a lockscreen widget and a normal widget right now but that's not nearly as fast as the methods described above.
Not to mention the no look possibility with the home button one.
I'm using a rooted Stock Rom MDM with an i9505
thanks in advance

im going to bump this out of interest because im going through holy hell trying to find a method to have an easy to use DISCREET flashlight toggle

There's a hidden settings page on every S4 that allows you to turn it on with volume up, when the screens off.

Custom Quick Settings.

Hi Guys, I'm a long time android user, but this is my first pure AOSP, I've been on various CM roms for quite a while.
I was pretty surprised to see that I can't find a custom quick settings option (ie change how the quick settings buttons work)....
- Why would you ever have bluetooth and wifi tiles launch settings menus, rather than just toggle bluetooth / wifi on/off - really silly default option..
- would love to be able to add a torch, screen timeout & screen rotation lock tiles...
My question, is there any way to get this sort of functionality without going to a custom rom - still using the quick tiles? or is it just a matter of me not being so impatient and waiting for CM or similar to be released..
Love the idea of being able to get OTA updates.. and really to be honest, the only thing I am really missing from CM is the ability to modify the quick tiles..

If you long press a tile, it toggles that setting on off.

Awesome, thanks, at least makes bluetooth and wifi toggles more practical..
So I take it that adding extra tiles (ie say screen rotation for example) , is not an option in AOSP?

Not that I remember, it's an added feature to ROMs.

It's good to know I am not the only one feeling this one.
I was a bit shocked to see how little options there are for customization in the stock rom.
I guess I am spoiled by CyanogenMod....

Checkout widgetzoid. It is what I use for this functionality.

Here is a screen shot, very customizable and the bolt to the right is like torch.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app

If you want rotation lock in quick settings you have to modify SystemUI.apk and framework2.jar. If you were using stock you'd have to modify those, but using AOSP means you can just change a few lines of code and recompile.
If you want to know the exact parts to modify let me know.

Cataclysm Rom has customizable quick settings

Root and Xposed Framework
I had the same frustration as you. Root your Nexus, Download Xposed framework the Gravity Box for KitKat module and you can add toggles and change other stuff if you want. Its perfect for customizing your stock os.
Id recommend make a nandroid backup and save it. I dont know if it effects your phone when you get an OTA update. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ALL THIS I love my Nexus now
