Solved: Go to Market and look for "Widgetsoid2.x"
Thanks for everyone's help!
Hello,
I use CyanogenMod6 on my x10 mini and I've gotten really addicted to the power Control Widget!
I'm not 100% sure if it is the default power control widget for gingerbread/froyo or cyanogenmod specific, but you can really modify the widget before putting in on the screen. On the arc however, one can only put it on the screen with the 5 default switchs.
I tried a lot of other widgets from the market, but NONE could give me the same features! Is there someone who can help me to get the cyanogenmod power widget on the arc?
Thank you,
Linkin
Widgetsoid2.x is what your after i think
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jim2&feature=search_result
omg, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
Only question I have left:
The widget wants the permission to:
"directly call phone numbers"
Do you know why the widget wants to do this?
I guess it's because you can assign a contact to one of the widget button if you want to and then pressing this button launches the call straight away (no pop up menu or confirmation needed) !
thank you! Right at this second, I found this page:
http://jaumard.android.free.fr/widgetsoid/informations_widgetsoid.php?lang=en_EN
There every permission is explained!
Thank you for helping me, I love this APP!!!!

Also if you are in a app like the browser and want to enable something like auto-rotate i use mysettings, and enable it in the pull down notification bar,

thanks, but I've never used this option in CM. I only use the power control widget
Widgetsoid2.x is a great app, but... on xperia Arc the power controls in notification bar work only in popup mode. Selecting the icons directy in the notification bar does not work.

That's a limitation in android, unfortunately.
I had an HTC Wildfire with CyanogenMod 7
It had a power bar on notification as a standard and it worked perfectly so I don't think it's Android...
You had a rooted device running a custom rom, which had been tweaked to have this behaviour. I had the same thing running on my hero - the point is that it came built into the ROM, not as a separate app. You arent going to be able to get this behaviour by running an app on an unrooted stock rom.
Now that the arc is rooted, hopefully cyanogenmod will get ported to it, or someone will make some other custom rom with these tweaks, then we will get this functionality.
Exactly my point.
It's not an Android limitation per se. It can be done in a rooted customized rom. I just thought that it could be done by an app on a rooted device.
Thanks
I'm really digging Paranoid Android and the extended dekstop mode... That being said, I really miss my status bar. While the Pie control is a fantastic replacement for the bottom control bar, it's much less functional and efficient when it comes to displaying information and notifications.
I miss seeing my time, reception and notifications all the time.
I'd like to get the best of both worlds - Pie Control, with a Status Bar, but so far I haven't had any luck with settings. Is this possible at this point at all?

Yep, just set navbar to 0% in hybrid properties>interface>workspace
Just FYI, the paranoid android team is working on improving the pie so notifications show up as a "tickler" even in pie mode

I must be missing something. I set navbar to 0% as instructed, but the status bar still doesn't show up.
Also, I would like to have a customizable PIE control. There is currently no way to add buttons to PIE. When I'm on AOKP, I always add two buttons to the navbar - menu and search. The menu button is very handy as I can hit it and it shows "Nova Settings" and "System Settings," the two setting menus I use very frequently.
While the search button is on PIE, the menu isn't. Unfortunately, I can't live without it.
[EDIT] Nevermind... you do allow the menu button to show up in PIE. The position can't be changed, but it's a lot better than I mistakenly thought. Sorry!
Make sure not to enable expanded desktop if you're just trying to hide the navbar, if you just set the navbar to 0% it'll hide it and you won't need expanded desktop.
And make sure to press the "apply" button.
Forgot it myself ^^

Yeah, but now the second ring (date, time etc) never shows up. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong ?
I posted this in another thread a while ago but didn't get an answer.
Is there a way to get the Notification bar AND the notifications in the PIE format too? Let me explain. Right now, I have full-screen PIE controls and in the settings I have the Pie type set to "Quick" which brings up the notifications right when Pie gets activated. I really like that functionality and I want to keep it. Is there any way to get that when using the above-posted solution? I can get the Notification bar and Pie controls just like what was posted, but I also want the notifications to pop up when I activate Pie. Anyone get that to work?
Had the same issue

Had the same problem as I switched back from using JellyBam to Paranoid Android. As the Paranoid Settings are persistent on the SD card I figured that was where the problem was. I had set the Nav bar to 0% in the Paranoid Settings as that was the only way to hide it in JellyBam, which meant that upon launch already it was set like that. My Pie menu was also not displaying the second ring, however when I set the Nav bar back to 100% and then enabled Expanded Desktop it all of a sudden started working again.
I'm not sure if it was because of the change in the Nav bar size or that I played with the different layouts, but it made the Pie menu work as per usual again. One more thing to mention is that despite where I had tried to set the Pie gravity to before doing all this it never took effect, even after a restart. Now all is fine again.
So play with your layout setting (tablet, phablet, phone) and then set them back to your preferred ones and see if that works.
I know it's most likely not exactly your scenario but am hoping that somehow this helps.

It is not possible to have the full pie and status bar at the same time because it is redundant as said by moles the dev of pa. But they are working on pie2 as of now.

Use your 2 finger and pinch your home screen to enable status bar/ navigation bar.

Hey guys I just flashed paranoid android and I can't get my status bar to come back with these instructions.. any advice? This is driving me nuts.
used paranoid android for a month.
I used paranoid android for a month on my note 2, and from my short experience I know messing with it's settings kinda sucks... I would recommend taking the nav bar to 0%. And then to download LMT launcher and put it in the bottom of the screen. Don't forget to leave full screen mode. Hope I helped :cyclops:

Does anyone know of a power control widget (for toggling bluetooth, mobile data, gps etc) that actually switches them off and on without loading the settings screen meaning i still have to turn stuff off and on in there rather than on the home screens
Also, widget would be ideal if it has some transparency on

Does the nexus power control widget not do that? I wanted one on my status bar so I use Power Toggles. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.painless.pc
Can add a widget to your status bar that turns things on/off without going to its settings page. You can also change colours and customize the tabs.

Nope, if you click Mobile Data or Bluetooth, it just loads that particular page in Settings so that you can switch it off and on but thats annoying, just want to toggle on the homescreen ...
Downloading Power Toggles now, thank you!
Power Toggles is the only one that works as it should for the GPS toggle.
There are many others as well such as Notification Toggles, Settings Extended, Exilir 2, Widgetsoid and so on.

New to android here. I have been trying power toggles and it works pretty well. One toggle that does not work as I'd like is the airplane mode toggle. This sends me to the settings page to manually check the "airplane mode" box. Is there a reason for that or am I doing something wrong?
I have Power Toggles and works great. Only went to menu screen before I rooted; now rooted wifi, airplane, gps, all switch it directly (I don't use bluetooth).
Widgetsoid is the app to go. For free and massive possibilities to make switches.

The reason why power toggles opens up the selection page instead of just activating airplane mode is because your phone is not rooted. With the phone being rooted, a widget cannot disable GPS.
So...the solution is to root the phone, (which is easy, but you will lose your data, so back everything up first) and then install power toggles as a system application.
Because power toggles directed me to it, I used this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.systemappmover
It worked like a charm, and it only took me a minute or two, including learning how to use it.
This is just one of the about 10 reasons I've found so far to root the phone, I'm sure you will run across others!
Thanks for the help! It seems like I will need to root to get true toggles without having to go through the settings screen.
Power Toggles ftw

I'm running the official Pac Man release with the latest nightly (12/05) and I just realized that the options menu button no longer appears on the nav bar when I'm in an app. This has been the case since I installed Pac Man about a month ago (previous version was 11/10; updated to see if it would fix the random crashes I was having), but it took me this long to figure out why I couldn't get into the settings on any of my apps - I don't tweak them very much usually.
I've tried running a couple different launchers (Nova and Trebuchet) with no success in getting the menu button back. Anyone have an idea as to why it's gone and how to bring it back?

There should be an option in the settings menu for the nav bar to enable/disable menu button. You can set it to default actions so it shows up in apps or you can set it to always be in your nav bar.

You're welcome. Hopefully, it works. I've never used PA, but I've seen this issue pop up on a couple of other ROMs I've used.
Currently I have AOKP 4.4.4 on my phone and it has so many options (see google images search for examples) in its "Rom control" menu. But this rom has started draining battery so I need to get another ROM.
I have tried Cyogenmod 12.1 and Omni ROM, both based on Android 5.1 and they are both pretty similar and they have very little customization options for status bar and navigation buttons and its pretty sad. Its 2015. All roms should have options like displaying the Day of the week in the status bar, letting me completely customize the navigation buttons and so on.
The options I need are:
- customizable menu buttons such as home, power, back button. I want to be able to change the order, add buttons, even use graphics as buttons so I can change the look of the button. Assign a button to anything whether its opening an App or turning off the screen.
- Customizable status bar. I want to have Date, Day of week, time, Battery percent (number) and also battery icon
So can anyone suggest any ROMS? I can use Multi-Rom which lets me quickly try other roms so I can try them all easily.

I tried this which is the 'unofficial' Omni rom 5.1.
I did try 4.4.4 Omni which is the latest official.
My main question is: I am looking for a highly customizable 5.1 rom.

There's lots of roms but its hard to find a nice stable rom with all the features I need so I thought I would ask if people can suggest any.
