SGS notification bar controls on Nexus S?

I am/was a Galaxy S user. Loved TW Launcher and the several controls being integrated in to thee notification drop down. How can I get the latter on my new Nexus S?
I recently downloaded a big zip with a bunch of SGS apks longer the tW launcher.. Might the drop down controls be in there?

Go to the theme section and there is a mod to add them. Must be on GRJ22 and deodexed.

Or, go back to SGS. Its a much better phone than Nexus S. Soon you would miss other things about it as well.
I took the same journey assuming Nexus S to be better and feel for AOSP experience, but was glad to be back on SGS. New JVP ROM (2.3.4) has totally transformed the experience on SGS.

99% of people that have owned both phones would probably disagree with you. Yea, galaxy s has nice features. Doesn't touch the nexus s though. Sorry

AGREED 100% this is coming from a guy who started off with motorola milestone>SGS>HTC desire Z> now the SNS. and i can say without a doubt the SNS is the best, even without a qwerty keyboard. I love the roms out there and pure google experience just gotta get used to touch screen but the gingerbread keyboard made that one a piece of cake!

I should have mentioned I9000. Not the one you get in US with keyboard. In what respects do you reckon NS is better?

Every. I prefer stock android over TW or Sense or Blur. We have i9000 equivalents here in the states as well. The vibrant is nearly the same device. We actually have 5 or 6, maybe a few more variants of GS phones here.

Keyboard is epic 4g. I used a vibrant and definitely prefer ns. I personally needed cm7 and jumped ships. Didn't like team whiskeys work. People gave them more credit for no reason.

Other ROMs have it too. But a portion of them are built off CM7.

Well, here's a first.

I got my nexus s 4g with the same intention I've had with all my androids..root,flash custom rom,custom kernel, n have perfection on my phone. Well how surprised do u think i was when i got the phone n fell in love with the stock rom. Holy crap is the stock rom basically flawless...lol
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA Premium App

Same here bro, same here!

Same, I don't see too much to complain about on stock. It's light, responsive and fairly stable. I'll root it eventually of course though. I'm sure there are too many under-the-hood options that I'll be dying without before long

My only complaint seems to be random data drop outs. Is that a known issue or wtf is going on lol

Same thing for me. Have had the phone since a few days after release and no real urge to root or do anything else.

Nexus s 4g is plagued with all sorts of data issues. Its what the alleged ota is suppose to fix. As far as the stock rom, I almost always run stock with a matrix kernel. I like bln amd voodoo color.

I totally agree with you guys, stock is rock solid on this phone. But voodoo sound and color really add to the hardware aspect of the Nexus S.

Yep, fastest ROM I've tried, but one little thing, can you please bring back the Castor notification? I'm very used to it.
Thanks for all you hard work, get wll.
P.D. Also if it posible, the topbar power controls.

Nice ROM loving it, super fast, app trey zoom really fast like that.......one little issue i see is that the my facebook contacts picture doesnt appear in the stock SMS app it comes up everywhere else but just not in the SMS app.

Just flashed. This is my kind of rom, super fast. I am going to try running at 800mhz tomorrow (suggested by Pete) and check the battery life. So far so good.

What problems? Miui is a skinned CM7. Granted they have done some additional tweaks but it is still a CM7 base.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium

The very first day I downloaded it, it locked up over night and I missed my alarm the next morning.
I decided to give it another try, and then ADW launcher crashed about 15 times. BLN doesn't work, even with the new matrix kernel.
MIUI is a gorgeous app. I set it up the exact same as I did with oxygen or cm7, I don't dig the iOS look, but thankfully this is android, so it's customizable.

Problems with cm7 and miui is slower than bugless beast beta. Frozen bubble plays faster in bb and not oc

I like miui alot. But not having 4g is a big no no. I get a cool 1.4mb/sec on 4g. Can't deal with sprints horrendous 3g speeds. If it did have 4g I'd be torn between cm7 and miui. But...

Sounds like it was due to the kernel you installed.
Roms don't affect BLN only kernels do(its baked into the kernel). Unless you turn notifications off.

Of course they do. Neither is a minimalist rom. No other rom can offer the extra features without it.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium

For me they were both kernels that came with the roms.

I hated miui for the longest time when I had my Evo, but really grew to enjoy it since early September.
The theming capability and launcher transitions really make that rom a unique android experience (no 4G in Dayton, Ohio, so not missing anything there).
Miui is the ONLY android rom that has significantly departed from the standard layout and configuration and I can appreciate that.
I've had the NS4G for little more than a week and am currently running NScollab (which has been flawless), but will almost certainly flash miui at some point. My only hesitation is that the Nexus is nearly perfect as-is and I don't have much motivation to change anything on it

What? The OP was a hypothetical question - miui doesn't have 4G support since the Chinese have very little 4G coverage... Kinda like sprint in America ha.
I have no use for Wallet, 4G, and little use for voodoo or BLN (although I do utilize the latter somewhat).
I'll really be sold on miui if they can entirely rid the rom of random Chinese characters. Drives me nuts.

I went back to Oxygen with Matr1x.
Everything is working flawlessly.

Bulletproof MIUI appears to have 4g. The icon in the status bar changes from "3G" to "H" on my ROM, and I get speeds of about 4mbps on average. When I lived in SAT, I got speeds of 8mbps on my G1, which makes these speeds kind of sad, but they're still better than some 3G speeds on other devices near SLC (where I live now).

Euroskank dropped support for the ns ? Edit:kitkang cm11 available

"There is no support for 4.2 on Nexus S and Xoom. Those devices should continue using 4.1.2. "
source: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/android-building/-ymcoMuDAbA

And there will be no official 4.2

I think 4.2 and 4.2.1 have lots of nice new features (like the quick settings tiles in the notification bar) but under the hood, it's a gigantic piece of sh!t, it seems. I've never seen my NS4G chew through the battery so fast in my life!!! Leaving mobile data enabled is a sure death-sentence for the battery in a matter of hours, even if it's in sleep mode!!

Still early, it keeps getting better and better everyday! I am running DaxMax's Xylon 4.2.1 on my Galaxy Nexus and it is by far the best Android I have had to date! All this negative talk has a lot to do with certain Mod's and certain Gapps people are trying to run with 4.2.1 that breaks things and are not compatible. There is a lot of dirty flashing and ignorance contributing to this gossip about 4.2.1 being a disaster. The first time I flashed it I hated it and directly went back to 4.1.2 thinking I would wait til it is complete but the second time I flashed it I am convinced I will not be looking back!

I'm happy running 4.2... Its issues that were also common in 4.0/4.1 when they were first introduced. There are some great people working on it, so I imagine it'll get better soon.

Just a tip to fellow flashers though: you need to flash separate camera and keyboard zips (but only if you use gesture typing), and superSU. Other than that, solid man, just solid.
