Power Control in notifications like in CM7?

Is this possible on the DX? For those who don't know what I'm talking about:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=836721
There's a screenshot of something similar.
Basically, toggles in your shade instead of the carrier name.

Yeah I use widgetsoid. You can find it on the market for free.

Awesome man, that's perfect. Now I just have to figure out how to get rid of the carrier label altogether . Any ideas? BTW, how'd you change your font?

I use the liberty 1.5 rom, it has a bunch of options for fonts and lets you change the carrier name out to whatever you want. So far its been very stable for me and much quicker than stock.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

Yeah, I saw the font options, but I'm not sure what adding a font does.. for instance, what'd you do in the toolbox that sets the widget font?
And I'm not talking about changing the text, I'd like to find a way to remove that whole bar, 'cause it just takes up space. I think you can do it in stock.. it's called a "roaming banner" i think

Changing the font effects all the text, everything from Widgets to menus to even the text on most websites in the default browser. It even changed the font in my clock widget. As far as removing the carrier label on the notifications I'm not sure how to remove that waste of space. I never looked into it but now since you mentioned it it's bugging me too. Let me know if you do find a way to remove it.

You long press on the home screen and select add widget like you would when adding a widget to the home screen, select widgetsoid then select a switcher widget. Pick the options you want it to have then go to the advanced tab and select both notification and make invisable. Click apply and it should now show up in the notifications bar. If you want to edit it just open widgetsroid and it will be in the widget tab. Hope this helps.

You can remove it with a metamorph, if you edit the xml in /layout/status_bar_expanded.xml I'm trying to put one together to do this. Right now I've managed to remove the grey area, only thing missing is moving the "clear" button some place else.

What does rooting your phone have to do with it? AFAIK there's no other way to do it anyway

There are custom ROMs that have this feature. This is the only app I know that will actually do this.

i don't think there are custom roms that do it for DX though

Power Control Plus works as well, and is a bit easier to set up. You open the app from the app drawer and the 'add to notification bar ' is right there for you.

Have you been able to figure out a way to move or resize the clear button yet? I really wish I could move it to the bottom of the notification bar. Better yet, I wish there was an app/widget that automatically cleared all new notifications. Been looking for something like that for months without any luck...

[FIX] App-Drawer on MIUI Launcher

After flashing the brilliant MIUI rom, i decided to check out the stock launcher. It is one of the smoothest launchers i've used on my infuse other than Launcher Pro, however i was disappointed to be confronted with a I-Phone like home screen experience where all the apps were hanging around willy nilly! Hence i found a simple solution to the problem and it is only 2 steps .
Instructions:
1.Put all of your apps into a single folder except for the ones that you plan to keep on your home screens.
2.Download Alt Drawer and put it in your dock. This will now be your app drawer!
There you go its as simple as that! The experience is almost identical to other launchers.
However to add an app from the app-drawer, u must close the app drawer and grab it out of your folder where you stock-piled all the other apps.
Hope this helps someone...first thread on XDA hope i dont get yelled at
Here is an implementation of what i'm talking about:
My home screen with alt-drawer being the right most app on my drawer
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And on this screen you can see alt-drawer when opened up.
Also i forgot to mention earlier, alt-drawer is very very customizble.
You can change lots of settings
(i.e Background transparency, icon size, font size, font color, side-side scrolling/vertical scrolling, hide/show notification, orientation etc)

This a handy way to get an app drawer. Ive been running MIUI on my Sony X10 for quite a while now. I typically had put all the apps in the tools folder, but the AltDrawer0.7.1 apk works great.

Does the app have a setting so it could scroll side to side like in Touchwiz?

YES
take a look at the screenshot those are all the options. The style option for me is grid...there is another option called page-page which is horizontal. just get app lol its free anyway

Looks like a nice addition. I was just throwing all my apps in one folder and sticking it on the dock. Works basically the same way, but not as customizable.

Nice, thank you I may just try Miui now because of it my friend lol.

thanks for this man. really helpful. I saw another mod, but not as flexible as this. I hope they implement that app drawer concept that's getting big cred on the miui.us site, but this will due until then if that ever gets implemented

I notice that sometimes when I open up the App Drawer, a blank screen comes up before the list of programs appear. It can be up to 6-7 secs.
I tried the suggestion of using Titanium to make AppDrawer a system app. Tried to find the app and move it to the other location, but couldn't find it. Will try again.
Any other suggestions?

Make sure it's on internal memory not sd card. Use Root Explorer and move from
/data/apps to /system/apps.
Works fine after that.

[MOD] Alternate wake buttons and dedicated camera button*Final*

You can use use root explorer or any other similar program. (If using root explorer u have to toggle the r/w in the upper right to edit anything u need root access to do)
In your file browser navigate to system/usr/keylayout and select s3c-keylayout.kl file and open in a text editor or in file manager text editor.
Dedicated camera button for opening and usage.
Find the "key 217 SEARCH" line.Delete SEARCH and replace it with CAMERA in caps. (This will work fine with alternate wake)
This will open the camera and when clicked in the camera app take a pic or start/stop the video recording.
Alternate wake buttons.
After the BACK and SEARCH (or CAMERA if you changed it to that) entry type in capital letter with underscore "WAKE_DROPPED".Then save it and reboot. Now the "search" then "back" combo key will wake phone from sleep to the lockscreen every single time for a week or two that I have been trying it.
Enjoy.
Should look like the pic below if you've done both mods.

Be careful during your edit. If something goes wrong, your buttons may end up disabled and you won't be able to edit the file again to fix your mistakes.
I had to use ADB to fix and restore my file.
Cool post though... been looking for this for a long time.

Just be careful where you keep your phone when travel. The button may accidentally press while in your pocket, may run down your battery. Just a precaution, but very nice tweak.

If you're using root explore, when you got to the folder, on the top tab R/W button. This grant read/write access, the press and hold down the file with your finger then choose Open text editor, once done you should able to save it. Your phone must be rooted in order to do this.

[MOD] how to get the galaxy nexus navigation bar on cm10

I did a little hunting for this mod and to enable it you must goto the /system/build.prop file to enable it
Mount it as r/w if you have root explorer

qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
Save and exit
Reboot and enjoy

Open up the file labled "build prop". Make sure you have root priveledges, and add this text to the bottom of the file:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
Save the file, and restart your phone. You will now have the new dock bar.

This worked on my Sprint S3 running the latest cm10. However, I had to go to Developer Options and check "Disable HW overlays" to keep the screen from flickering.

Make the change in the OP in the build.prop files using a text editor on the device.

This worked fine and I was able to turn off the lights on the capacitive keys. Is there a way to disable the capacitive keys?

does anyone know how to make the left hard key menu and long press for open apps? (Swap its default setup)

Nvm figured it out.
If you're rooted:
Go to system > usr > keylayout, and open generic.kl with a text editor, find keys 158 and 254 and put a "#" sign in front of both. Save the file and reboot phone. Then go to settings and disable the light.

I found App_switch and Menu assigned to button numbers and switched them but all it did was disbale to button. If you have any ideas please respond in here or PM me.

Yeah, I've never really altered the softkeys through build prop edits. I know there are some Xposed modules to alter the softkeys. Might want to check that out.

Put a # in front of keys 158 and 254 once you enable soft keys, This compltely disables the back button and recent buttons at the bottom of the phone. I also disabled the lights for them in settings too.
To enable soft keys you have to type in that line the OP listed at the bottom of the text file.
(You can actually type it anywhere as long as it's on a new line and doesn't have a # in front of it)
