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

walidhiphop thanks, you would think people could take a second to read when the thread is still just a single page long. Not that i'm trying to diss anyone for trying to help and provide advise, but it doesn't take much effort to read a page of text either.
i wan a status bar with a feature that can adjust the screen off time..
Hey, is there any softwares that can function the recent app of the original recent app switcher in HTC One S, I mean, just a small software can replace the recent app button. Thanks in advance!

Found this floating around, you can give it a shot. However, you do need to be rooted (which you should expect to be able to perform these actions, no way you'll be able to do it without root).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850464
Alternatively, you can flash any of the custom roms here and they will do it for you.
Edit: Well I went ahead and installed it to see if it will work, and looks like it's only able to remap hardware buttons, not the capacitive buttons. Still a nifty app, but not what you're looking for.

My cellphone is S3 processor and I tried the method to change the recent app button to menu through changing the code. But after that, there is still no method or software to make the long press home button into recent app for S3 device, so I guess maybe there could be a software can trigger the function. Really sucks for S3 device!!
On iOS, I can swipe the clock on the statusbar which I set to automatically open the App Switcher.
I've been trying AutomateIT, Tasker, and a few other Status bar tweaks but I haven't been able to find an app that will do one simple thing - when I swipe/tap/double-tap the clock or somewhere on the status bar, it should open the "Recent Apps" dialog (so I don't have to press that flimsy button)
Can anyone recommend an app, or how to do it in Tasker?
PS: I've been trying Tasker all day, and this is the last thing I need it to do, but no joy!
What phone do you have ?
By "App Switcher" do you mean the Recent Apps function that brings up apps still in memory ?

Ah yes, sorry. That is what I meant.
I have a Galaxy S3, rooted with Resurrection Remix 3.1.4 .
Actually I was able to achieve what I wanted with GMD Gesture Control (best 6$ ever spent!). So a different question now, is there a way to get it to monitor for gestures on the lockscreen? Prior to me swiping or doing my pattern..
Thanks for your help!
You can also access recent apps with a long press to he home button by default. With a launcher, you can come figure it to vice-versa.
I think several launchers also give you various new icons and swipe features.
Lock screen? I don't know. I might look into something like Widget Locker, maybe.

I'll look into Widget Locker. I know you can do it with the home button, but mine is almost on it's deathbed and I want to minimise pressing it until I can find a way to fix it or the Nexus 4 becomes more freely available lol
Wondering if anyone knew a way to add other functions to the stock Google Now shortcut (swipe up from home button)??
I've searched and found similar threads(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1799208), but none were answering my specific question.
I've also looked into LMT and the pie feature. I just don't like the way the pie looks. It's too bulky and doesn't have that OEM look/feel to it.
What I want is to go from this:
to something like this:
or
I whipped this up on photoshop real quick just to give you guys an idea of what I'm looking for. Let me know if anyone has any insight on this or any recomendations.
Thanks!

Well, first off what you're referring to is called Quick Launch. And there are ROMs out there that have Quick Launch built in. I don't know of any that have those specific functions like the Settings toggle or Menu toggle. That said, it's definitely possible to add it in. The question is though, will developers?
I'll give you my opinion. I don't feel that the Settings toggle, back button, or Menu button are necessary there because they are right under it. It wouldn't make sense really. The point if those buttons are for quick access to applications or other functions such as Screen Off, take a Screenshot, toggle Torch, etc.
You don't have to agree with my opinion at all and can request developers to add this feature.

Thanks! I didn't know that was called Quick Launch. I'll look around again to try and find some more information on it.
As far as the soft keys underneath, I'm using a Nexus 5 and it has the back button (left), home (middle), and recent apps (right) on my translucent nav bar (as seen in pictures). Not sure what Settings toggle, back button, or Menu button underneath you were talking about, but I do agree with you that they would be redundant to have if they are also available below the Quick Launch. Not sure if you were thinking of another phone, maybe you can clarify for me.
As far as installing a ROM, I'm not trying to do that. Did it in the past but never found one I wanted to stick with. I really like the KitKat stock ROM but it's still missing a few things. So I have the xposed framework installed and am just trying to find a module that will do what I'm looking for.
Thanks again for the help.
Nevermind on this thread. I just found this module:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2554049
GravityBox has these features(among many others):
--- Navigation bar tweaks including cursor control keys
--- Navigation bar ring targets
I think this is what I was looking for. I'm going to install the module tomorrow and see if it solves my problem.
Longtime xda user but have been out of the modding scene for many many years now, so forgive me if my question is stupid. Just got the P7P and put magisk etc on it. I don't like gesture navigation, and I am surprised that google doesn't allow nav bar button customization, which is something that has existed on various android implementations for as long as android has been around. Is there a magisk module that can do this on the latest 12/22 firmware? All google search results return with very old posts, and at this time I don't know how to recover from a bootloop if I do take a chance on flashing something.
Something that I had personally suggest is the Navigation Bar (9.0 +) module for Magisk, you can find it on Github.
Here's a link: Navigation Bar (9.0+)
There are many more methods but you can mention me anytime if this doesn't works.

Check out AOSP mod. It allows configuration for the nav buttons. It is a good replacement for Gravitybox.
After years of 3 button nav, I switched to gestures. It took a few days to get used to it. Now it is built into my flabby muscle memory.

Using Gestures, love it. Was a hardcore Navbar user.
Don't seem to have any issue with gestures and side panels.
Any specific app you are referring to?
I am using viber, skytube, k-9 mail, nextcloud, Mixplorer. Just to mention a few where I constantly use side panels and weird stuff happens when trying to open it due to the functional overlap

Hey there mate. How are you supposed to use this module ? Wasn't able to find any guide or documentation for it. Do I need to write something in Termux ?

It's a magisk module, installed like any other magisk module.
I use vivid navigation gestures with aospmods.

Thought this module would allow me to customize the navigation bar. Like change the navigation bar icons to look like Samsung or Xperia or Nexus. Was i wrong ? Is there a more suitable module for this ?
