Is this available for the mytouch 4g?

My buddy has this phone and wants these toggles on the drop down menu like in the pic attached. He is running stock ROM rooted.

I think a good place to start would be... where did you get the pic?

I have this installed on my phone (hd2) desire hd ROM. I took this screenshot.

He can a) install a widget that has notification options, b) install a custom ROM that has it included, or c) ok there were only two options that I know of.

Sense 2.1 offers that functionality, but in a slightly different UI arrangement. Check RoyalMint or the Desire S port.

I don't know that for sure...just giving you options.
Here's what Sense 2.1 looks like:

any ROM that has notification toggles does so with the same properties as a widget. There are several in the market that would give you that functionality without changing roms.

Cm7 has it. Not same icon styles but it has it.

Widetsoid (in the market) has this functionality...not the same icons though I don't think...

Mine look like this. I'm running cm7.

I have cm7 too, but those icons are sure nice on the Sense 2.1 (if thats the kinda thing that gets you off).
To be honest, Sense wasn't too bad. I might switch to a Sense Rom from CM7. Especially when you read that Sense works more efficiently on HTC phones (despite the large size).

Perfect sense 2.2?

Before you tell me to use the search button i've been looking and trying out every sense rom there is and with every one of them there is something that's wrong. Now my real question is if any one could suggest a perfect sense rom. When I say perfect I mean good battery life and not laggy when switching through home screens.
I would be really grateful if someone did.
Thanks anyways!

Ok, I won't tell you to search.... but as this is a question..... I can tell you to post in Q & A next time.... and in my opinion, there is no perfect sense rom and never will be.... it can't be compiled just for our devices as their is no source code.... so it can never be perfect for our devices..... and another opinion of mine... sense sucks.... if you want sense so bad, but want a good working rom... do it this way.... install hyperdroid cm7..... install he launcher and choose the sense look in it.... then install fancy widget and choose the sense like clock theme.... then their, you have a perfectly working build that looks like sense......

Have you tried HE launcher off the market? That combined with the fancy widget that's modified to look like the sense clock really looks a lot like sense.

Not a big fan of Sense myself, but I agree its Coredroid..the last version I tried was v1.5 it was really good, free of most issues and incidentally my last sense build...After that its CM7 all the way, with some time for MIUI in between which is also quite impressive but when it comes to raw speed nothing beats cm7/aosp builds...

I recommend imilka's Desire HD.
The only disadvantage is slow booting.

No you wont, A moderator will

Hi,
Without repeating what diesburg has said, I am using since two month boyppc rom. The actual version on my hd2 is GB sense 2.3.4 v25. For information it is not htc sense but a look like called launcher pro (LP). It is enough similar to make my day and the batterie last for about 2 days, good speed and bug free.
The other thing that I like is the easy installation

I can honestly recommend any rom based on Sense 3.0. Practically no problems, no FC, ​​no reboots, and I have not noticed any graphical bugs. 300MB free ram after boots and Everything works like a charm. I almost forgot to add that cam records in 720p
But for me the fastest and best performing Froyo Sense ROM is IMilka's Inc. with tytung_r10 kernel for Qaliza_DHD, i tried this Rom on CLK and is the fastest for me and i think that if you looking perfect sense rom you should try this combination.

If you decide to go down the route of installing a fancy widget clock, try to find version 1.3.0 as its the most sense-like clock. if I find a link for it i'll pop it in here.
EDIT: http://www.filesonic.com/file/12961909/Fancy_Widget_1.3.0.apk

Wait camera records in 720p!? Just like in windows phone 7. OK try it out.

I actually ended up udi. Get launched pro with fancy widget and using theme manager with complete sense theme. I also got the sense dock and the sense wallpaper.
Do. Thanks for all the suggestions and help!!!

The thing about CLK is that its too complicated to install, I've tried once but failed.. I installed the rom in CWM and rebooted and it comes back to the white text and black background.....

i have tried alot of sense build...
i think rafdroid is great...
this build have more option to customize n stable support all app's that i used when that apps can't run on another sense build..

Takes a bit of learning but once you get past that you don't go back.

Nice a rom with alittle flavor

I tried BAMF RC4 and was a great ROM with a lot of features but was having bugs and issues pop up in just one day of use. Decided to try this ROM as i was really liking Sense 3.0 and WOW...may not have all the mods of BAMF but sleek and smooth and runs like a champ
the only thing i was curious about is there a flash available to disable wake with volume buttons?
since this is based on BAMF will the disable volume wake zip available there work as well?
thanks to anyone who can help!!
and big thanks for the incredible ROM

Thanks! Yes it will work to disable that.

Kobes:
Superb update. 7.8.11 is fantastic. Came from 7.4.11 and I could care less about the transparent notifications. This ROM is buttery smooth and I'm happy with how you've themed it. I've always liked blue and this is just icing on the cake.
No hiccups. No FCs (except for some apps I went in and deleted but that was expected). I've always been a fan of ONDEMAND but I took your advice and rolled with smartass and things have been working great. 368-1.2 and its running LIKE A BOSS.
Keep up the good work friend.

Ya, came from bamf rc4, and love how smooth everything is in this, just need a zip for single sliding app drawer, pages slow me down

This rom looks great... I'm going to give this a whirl on my day off this week.

help adding notification widgets in status bar to other roms from CM7

I am using Faux 123 rom and I rather stick with it than go back to CM7 so I was wondering if there is a way to use the status bar widgets and port them to Faux's rom, is it simply the cmparts or is there something else I would need to do, if anyone can help me put it into Faux's rom or tell me how to do it, I'd appreciate it. Thanks

No one can help me with this?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

What are status bar widgets?

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. What status bar widgets?
And even if I knew what that was I"m 99% sure the answer would be a no. Faux keeps his AOSP as stock as can be. That means whatever CM features you're referring to will not be put on there.
Out of curiosity though, why not just use CM...?
Edit: Ohhh, nvm I know what you're talking about then. Like the WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS and etc. toggle? Yeah that will never be in Faux's AOSP ROM.

Oh, those. "Status bar widgets" isn't a good term for those. Maybe "notification tray widgets" or something like that.
FYI, that feature comes standard in Sense 2.1 and 3.0 ROMs.

Thanks but nothing either of you said was helpful lol, except for maybe changing it to notification Widgets. First off I know faux wont put it in his rom I was asking if there was a way to put it in...actually I know it can be added I need to know how and yeah but that's sense, I don't want sense lol and I don't use cm because I get more stability and battery life from fauxs rom

Think that is built into the framework, so unless you know how to build roms, cm7 or sense is your only option....someone correct me if I am wrong...

You're completely right. CM parts and their extra "features" are highly integrated and built into the whole framework. A Simple flash-able zip won't give you those widgets.
I get the same battery with CM as Faux's ROM. And it's extremely stable, don't know how you see CM as not being stable.

Widgetsoid from the markets does the same ass cm7.

Alright thanks, idk I've just had great experience with Fauxs roms for a while and cm always seemed like it had worse battery life, maybe its all in my head, damn that means I need to set my phone up again :/. Thanks for the replies.

Custom roms pros and cons?

So I'm really thinking about installing cm7 as I'm tired of the sad battery life on the MT4G, however, I'm finding it somewhat difficult to weigh the other pros and cons of switching from stock. There are plenty of threads and videos on how to do this, and plenty that talk about speed, but that doesn't really help answer my questions about functionality unfortunately.
Here's the thing: There are certain things in the stock rom that I don't want to lose in the process and I can't seem to figure out what I will gain and lose by switching.
Here's what I know so far about switching:
- I will have a longer battery life.
- I will lose the genius button functionality, but I can install that separately, so no big deal. I use this for texting handsfree while driving - just connect an audio cable to my stereo.
- The bloat is gone.
Here's what I can't figure out:
- How does the homescreen function without sense? Does it look the same? Do I maintain the built in widget sets?
- Do I lose the quick settings option from the status bar?
- Will my phone still wake using the trackpad?
- Will all the major abilities and apps function normally? Specifically messaging, Google browser, long press shortcuts (ie send link to: X using Y app), alarms, camera, GPS?
Opinions, advice?
TMO MT4G unlocked/rooted with Wind Mobile, running 2.3.4 (pre security update)

I suggest to move to one of the new non-T-Mobile Sense versions. Sense 3 or 3.5.
You'll retain the functionality that you want, gain some new one, most likely gain battery life, and won't lose the good sides of Sense that you're used to (widgets etc).
In the worst case, it's just a simple trial and error process - you can try different ROMs, and if you decide that stock suited you better than everything - you'll be able to install it, and probably even tweaked and customizable version of it.

I didn't know that there was such a thing. I don't mind losing the ”prettiness” of sense, I just need the functionality to be there.
Any rom names off the top of your head that I can look for?

Here's what I can't figure out:
- How does the homescreen function without sense? I don't even get this question. Does it look the same? Different types of Android look different from one another. Sense has its look. TouchWiz has its. Vanilla Android has its. Do I maintain the built in widget sets? If you go with another Sense ROM, then yes, you will most likely have more sense most ROM here now are 3.0 or 3.5.
- Do I lose the quick settings option from the status bar? In most of the aftermarket ROMs, you will gain more quick settings. Read about the ROMs offered here.
- Will my phone still wake using the trackpad? Most of the ROMs have incorporated this into the build.
- Will all the major abilities and apps function normally? Apps? Yes. Abilities? Depends on the ROM. Some have a few bugs, others don't. Camera seems to be a big issues on this aftermarket sense ROMs, but there's usually a fix somewhere in the thread for that ROM. Specifically messaging, Google browser, long press shortcuts (ie send link to: X using Y app), alarms, camera, GPS?
Opinions, advice? After market ROMs are smoother than stock ROMs and obviously have better battery life as you know. They have much more that you can customize depending on the ROM. After market ROMs are ALWAYS better than stock. So, have fun choosing. Personally, I'm on Core Droid.

i've been using virtuous unity 2.39 ever since it went to a stable build. it has good battery life (better then stock) and the performance is great if you like the sense roms. if not i would cay cm7 is also the other one that you should try

if you wanted to go throwback, you could use cm6. I always got better battery life on it than with cm7 back when i used it... try miui. theme it if the looks bother you.
