Hey the other day I was trying out the galaxy tab and came across something interesting. I noticed that there was a little brightness bar in the little notification bar. Is it possible someone could find a way to do this so theme developers and rom devs can add this in? thanks.

Could you describe this a little better? With the Epic you already can control the brightness by holding your finger on the status bar for a moment and then sliding it left or right for less or more brightness. Is it just an indicator that the Galaxy Tab has?

Yes I understand but the brightness bar is like the one in the settings, but just in the notification bar. I know you can do the sliding thing you really don't get to see where the brightness is, and you never seem to get the brightness to 100% that way. I just thought this would be a nicer feature

Cool. I'd also like that "orientation lock" control on my phone.

I actually didn't think this would get moved since it was a request for development, but I see your logic.

The concept is nice but I prefer less clutter on my notification bar. It would be a lot cooler if we could just slide our fingers across that little space between those 5 buttons and the thing that says if we have any new notifications, the area around the middle of the attached pic.

looks very interesting, kind of has me scared on how fast samsung may replace our phones with something else.
It does look interesting, probably more so if the devs find a way to customize the crap out of the secondary screen.
More screen means less battery life.

Ditto. The phone sounds more like a gimmick than something that will catch up. I would prefer a working phone with one screen .

Not necessarily. You may be able to use that little screen instead of the big screen for common tasks and actually save battery.
I do sort if think it's a gimmick though. I'd rather have one screen with soft buttons a la the archos.

...they're still shipping new phones with 2.1. what the hell!?
It probably ships with the GPS bug, too.
Not impressed because of the manufacturer.
I'm kind of wondering if it's really just one big screen with a dead strip separating the two sections... Since there isn't any backlighting involved, there is no "cost" to only use part of a screen...

I agree. It looks very interesting which raises a lot of questions.
Hopefully, JeremyNT's thoughts prove right and you can turn off the big screen and use the small screen for caller ID, notifications etc., as the article did mention.
i dont like it, not abit, why they had to change this and that when company like verizon and att get a phone, a nice looking phone and they turn it into this!
looks cool here are better pics

So we need a phone with the time and icons in the notification bar, on a homescreen widget, and at the bottom? How about a digital clock on the top, both sides, bottom and back so when I want to know what time it is...I really fu©kin know what time it is. Sheesh.

Obviously the bottom screen is customizable just like your home screen you dont need to use a clock widget
But yea Ive always wondered why people need clock widget when time is on top, guess its eye candy.
IMO this idea it actually handy and like others said it probably consumes less battery by just using bottom screen and not having to turn on top for minor use and notification...ect
What a perfect spot to display ads too....

With Beautiful widgets, you can get the weather on your notificationbar. No root required.

It's just an app , not tied to OS , if there is enough demand developers will make them, need to screen app market once in a while.
Try The Accuweather app from market,That allows you to have weather on your Notification bar

no offence to anyone....but all I mean is that apple copied the notifications functionality from Android, but made it bit better....and our Devs can take some ideas from Apple and make it much better considering we have open source
its all healthy competition ( except the stupid lawsuits )
so... could any motivated Dev in the house please stand up
This isn't Weather or Stocks...but it can be pretty handy...
Found it on the Market:

Isn't good if you got a black notification bar, because you can't change the text color to white (or something else...)
Try Palmary Weather (free): https://market.android.com/details?id=com.palmarysoft.forecaweather&hl=en
Menu -> More -> Enable temperature notification
Also happens to be a very nice weather app.

Go to settings, about tablet, press on 4.0.3a bunch of times. When the Android pops up, just keep long holding on him and he'll get bigger and bigger then start flying across the screen.

Its JKay's Deluxe Framework thread which gives you lock screen settings, perhaps with enough requests they will develop what you're looking for.
Of course we would all like this!!!
I really don't understand how android is the best platform when android plain ICS doesn't offer on lockscreen notifications!!!!?!?
How on earth?! Even my nokia can do this!!!
I thought that they'll fix it in ICS but I was wrong! And they didn't even fix it in JB!!!
Very disappointed!

Well yes you can if you get widgetlocker and buy missed it and install the widget on screen!!!
However this is not acceptable!
Think about how many users (probably around 3/4) can't / don't know how to do it!
You should no have a diploma to be able to enable notifications on screen!
Damn this should be by default in the system!
Iphone, symbian (nokia) WP7 and all can do this! I really don't understand why Android doesn't (i know it can but it doesn't)! It needs OEM (HTC, samsung etc..) intervention to be able to deliver that! Which is simply basics!!!
Those Notifications are unnecessary imo. You already have the notification bar, why do you need it twice?
I would understand this if lockscreen would hide the notification bar. Everything else is easy made by widgetlocker.
Amazing idea bro

Also, don't like the idea of everyone able to be nosey by seeing all of your notifications, from the lock screen.
I think being able to slide down the notification bar, from the lock screen is a better idea, less mess.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
And make it slide like the iphone not tapping. I know, i know, its gonna be too similar but you have to accept the fact that its accident proof and more clean looking(but this could change with JB animations).
