Ok, I'm new here to xda and a new owner of a Droid X. I recently had a Fascinate and got rid of it due to it not having Froyo and it was giving me a lot of trouble.
Anyway, my question is: On my fascinate at the top of the notification area when you pulled it down there were icons to turn on or off wi-fi, nav, blutooth and airplane mode. Can this be set up on a Droid X or do I have to keep those icons on one of the home pages?
Any help at all will be greatly appreciated... If I can't do it, thats ok. I will not go back to a Fascinate because of this....
Thanks for any and all help

Yes. Download the app widgetsoid and there is an options to put it in the notification area
thank you very much..... I will try that.

Is it possible to remove any of the default icons from the status bar? I have so many up there that I barely have any room for notifications. The location icon is pointless. It's there whether you have location turned on or off. I realize this may require rooting, but is it possible?
It will be possible at some point Im sure. Developers were just starting to get rid of them on the Hero (2.1 Android) before I upgraded to the Evo. I was happy to finally get rid of the battery icon since I use a percentage widget in the notification bar anyway. Many were also getting rid of the clock if they had one on their homepage.
Agreed. I have the clock removed on my moment, thanks to the devs at sdx im sure someone will do the same over here as well.
Seriously the Target icon is annoying! And I thought I was a waste of space.

I hate having the GPS and BT icons show up, I already know gps is always on and the blue light tells me if BT is on.
Will it require loading a custom rom that already has these icons removed or will there be a way to manually remove them from any custom rom after it has been loaded onto the phone?
also interested in this, that location icon/cross hair/reticule is insufferable

What blue light????
Also interested in this. Don't need location, vibrate/silent, or clock.
in for this too, preferrably an app in the market
any custom roms provide this?
I need to have the status bar changed to transparent as well as all the status icons like the signal, sync, time and all that crud.
Everytime I try to ADB Pull it out and change then push it back it results in an endless loop of vibrations every fifteen seconds and the screen stays black.
Is there any one willing to pull the framework and change the bar colors to transparent and upload it for everyone. Im using Hyperdroid v 1.7.
Thank you,
Many people have been trying this with no luck because of a lack of skills. so anyone with the know how would be greatly appreciated...
You are more likely to get an answer in the Q & A forum (where you should have put this anyway...)

I posted it here because I was asking for someone to post a file which in turn everyone else can download. Which is development section enough for me lol.
Mods feel free to move if you disagree.

Well, After you ADB pull + edit the .apk file, you need to resign it. Without being resigned, the app wont load. Learn how to do this by searching..
'How to sign an apk'.
are you using ADW or LauncherPro? Both have options to simply hide the status bar. Much easier.
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
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
+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
Coming from my Cyanogen Nexus One, im starting to miss things. The most missed thing is the quick toggle of Bluetooth, Wifi, Mute, and Airplane mode that were in CM 6.1.1 under the Notification Tray.
Anyone know what that program was called? Of course it is possible that it wont even work on the Atrix.

Its part of the rom, and not a seperate app. Of course, you could dig through the CM sources and see what that is, and then see if you could port it.
Get beautiful widgets, they have an entire set of toggle widgets that allows you to do this quickly.
They also have an excellent clock/weather homescreen widget.

you don't even need that, there is a stock android power control widget. the point is, in cyanogenMod, you could pull down the status bar and toggle those from any app. so you could turn on GPS without leaving maps, or unlock screen rotation without leaving the web browser. It was really handy.

Come on guys... You got the phone 3 minutes ago.. Please don't start this. Give it some damn time. I'm pretty sure Cyanogenmod will be up in a few weeks. It's not like the Nexus One got Cyanogenmod in day -1. Seen as the phone is not suppose to be even out yet.

Are we really all having this conversation again? The bootloader is signed...nobody's going to be designing custom kernels anytime soon. Once the key is found or another exploit is found...sure. Until then? no dice.

Wasn't trying to talk down the Atrix, just fully explain the feature from CM.
I'll be happy when AT&T flips my data service back on again so i can actually set up the phone and use it. Kinda dead in the water right now.

Yeah, I was just trying to cheer you guys up. We'll have some custom roms up and running soon.
Get switchPro Widget. that way you can make 7 shortcuts on your homescreen to enable/disable GPS, Wifi, Bluetooth, Mobile Data, Sync, Silent/Vibrator and airplane mode just to mention a few.
Guys, the idea is to have it in the Notification Tray, not on my homescreen.
Also, im not asking for a custom Cyanogen Rom. Just because there are people on here that complain every 5 minutes, dont get an attitude with everyone. It was a general question about if it is a program. It is not. End of story.

The Samsung Galaxy S phones have it and it is a great feature. The idea of widgets or the power control widget is not the same as it takes up space on the screen - having a list of shortcuts at the top of the notification area is simple and elegant.
My solution is to use quick settings (app store) it has a notification tray icon (you can hide it unless you pull down the tray) that lets me get to a set of toggles.
BarControl will let you put any app in the bar.. I use it with ToggleWifi and Bluetooth mode for notification bar toggles on a stock N1

Monkey see, monkey do.
widgetsoid is another option also.
I have always used android except for the past 1.5 years. Obviously alot has changed and now I am back with the nexus 4. I have to admit it seems much more polished since the htc evo days.
So I need some advice and pointers..
I received the phone last night, I spent the rest of the evening rooting it. I am now running faux's kernel
as well AOKP's Rom
Here is what I am missing imo..
When I put the phone in silent mode, it does not vibrate, to overcome it I installed Silent Mode Jammer from the app store. Just hoping I am missing a setting though.
On the iphone, it was jailbroken and I installed this app called f.lux which at a certain time, would alter the screen so I could view it in the dark without it lighting up an entire room. Also gave it a different colour hue.
Finally, the lockscreen. I would love to have more than a clock on the screen. Ideally, the weather, 5day maybe... my calendar and then any alerts.
Any advice or pointers? Thanks and glad to be back..
Welcome back to the droids
For your lockscreen questionslide from left to right in the lock screen until a "plus" appears push it and you can choose from 5 Stock widgets aviable (at least in stock rom but i dont think aokp removed this fetuare)

Welcome back. I also jumped ship from Android to the iPhone 5 for a couple weeks, then back to the N4. The N4 is my favorite phone by far.
You need to make sure you have "always vibrate" checked under settings for phone, messaging, and email. Then, when the phone is in vibrate mode it will actually vibrate when you get a call, text, or email.
as for the lockscreen, each widget goes on its own page, can you combine them so that they look like:
Clock
Weather
Agenda
Alerts
thanks
