Anyone know if there is a way to get a notification bar like the one Touchwiz 3.0 has on the G2?
you can either put on a custom rom like Virtuous or Cyan that have black notification bars (cyan gives you the option) or just flash a theme onto your phone with Metamorph
It's not the color that I care about, I want one that has the power control in it like the one on the Galaxy S
Flash CM RC3, comes pre-loaded with wifi, bt, gps and vol on the notification bar
you can also change it in RC3 i have wifi, BT, and Brightness
Using cm6, you get the option to use a custom power control bar in the norification bar. On mine, for example, I have wifi, gps, brightness, orientation lock, and flashlight(death ray)

Hi All, well, mainly Steve...
Is there any way of baking settings toggles (wifi, bt, gps, vibrate, rotation) into the streak notification bar as it is in the Galaxy S series phones?
Cyanogen have successfully pulled it off with their rom, just curious to see if it can be done with the Streak.
Thanks,
Krisbo
Try cyanogen rom for streak. Its alpha at the moment but thats the best option

+1 to that request! I'd love to see the settings toggles in the notification bar.
The Cyanogen ROM for the Streak does have the it, but it's not exactly useable on an everyday basis still being in alpha. I've tried it already and can't live with the fact that it doesn't work in portrait mode! I use the Streak mostly in portrait mode. Will probably switch to it once it goes into beta/RC stage and all the major issues are sorted out.
I use the notification bar toggles from friedflow. Sure, you only get Auto-Rotate, Wifi and Bluetooth, but it's better than nothing. Looks pretty sleek, does the job nicely. ^_^
Check it out on the market.
Some guys also use Bar Tender or some of those things to put links to the quick settings app in the notification bar, but that's kind of inelegant and not really my thing. But it's a two-click solution if that suits?
Hope that helps!
Take care,
Oli
Is there a way to have something like this on the Arc?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9885714
It is possible, *sort of*.
Widgetoid 2.x does exactly this (and lots more), but unfortunately due to a restriction in andoid you cannot directly toggle settings from the notification bar, so it opens up a popup instead.
To do it directly we will have to wait for a custom rom, e.g. cyanogen, with it included.
Is this what your looking for?

It will be great if a dev can port the power control widgets to the arc..
instead of installing apps which just create link to a popup on the notification screen, I want the ability to toggle from the notification screen directly.
Are there any ROMs that support custom colors for that top part of the notification draw? Like the black bar on top that shows the time (when its pulled down) ?

I've tried Paranoid Android and PAC Android which does this. It's in Settings, Hybrid Setting, swipe to the right, then choose Apps if I'm not mistaken.
There are probably more though.

Hi there,
Seeking some advice on a ROM. Hate the look of stock LG G2, just installed stock-like kitkat on my old GNex and saw the google experience launcher with transparent everything, DO WANT. However I'm afraid of losing some features of stock LG software. Maybe you guys can recommend some ROMs, or if it's best to stay stock to get all the features I want, recommend some mods that will give me all the ROM features I want?
Things I NEED
Knock On/ Knock Off (LG feature)
4.4 Stock "Look and Feel" (fonts, transparent bars all around, appearance of time and battery and notifications bar, black instead of white setting menu, etc, you get the picture)
Always listening on the home screen, possibly the lock-screen, pretty much anywhere I can have it all over the UI (as per 4.4, not LG)
Recent Apps button instead of a menu button (as per 4.4, not LG)
Open apps from the lockscreen with apps icons already visible when looking at lockscreen (not the style where you hold finger over lock icon to see a choice of apps in a circle, and then have to swipe a specific direction. I used to have that and didnt like it as much as I like LG stock way of actually showing icons without you touching anything, and you swipe the icons, not a lock towards the icons)
Circle battery type thing on status bar that shows percentage
Things I haven't tried/am not sure about but might want from stock LG software, and might not want to lose flashing to custom ROM
Better stock camera?
SmartShare from the gallery app? (says it uses wifi/bluetooth to stream content to other devices)
Beam/DNLA/I don't even remember what it's called or what app I found it in?
Quickremote
You tell me please? I'm sure there's a bunch of stuff I've yet to discover that I might want (are any of LG's apps e.g. notebook useful?)
Things that are cool but not really necessary
Themes and a ton of extra features -- used to use AOKP and they had a decent amount of extra feature, not too few like CM, not too many like other ROMs where my head just starts spinning from all the features
Other
I'd really prefer not to have to wipe all the time, CM's OTA update feature was awesssooome when I had CM on my GNex, but CM is a little feature-lite for me, I mean it was good though, that's just a minor complaint. But if there's something better fitting my criteria above I'll put up with having to wipe to flash updates of the same ROM in the future if its necessary. I just never understood why OEMs can push OTAs to people and never make them wipe, but for custom ROMs (updating new versions of same ROM) I have to re-set-up everything every time
A lot of this stuff has been addressed already. Most ROMs have knock on built in, but not knock off. The work around is downloading an app that turns the screen off, and using a gesture control in another app (such as Nova Launcher) to double tap the home screen to turn the screen off. Though personally, I just have screen off set to my nav ring so I can access it from any page I'm on.
There's a flashable install here on the forums some where for Quick Remote. Works fine on AOSP ROMs.
As for 4.4 stuff, I have no idea.

How did you do that? I nowhere find a setting to change anything in the navigation ring.

Topic says it all. I would like to get the stock LG rom toggles on my CM11 install.
I'm using power toggles right now, but it's annoying that everything flashes and refreshes on any toggle. Also, the 4G toggle still doesn't seem to have access to the setting, and remains idle.
