Is there anyway to utilize the initial space on the pull down menu to have quick settings? Isn't it goofy you have to pull that down and then click on a tab to get to quick settings?

Well, CyanogenMod has some toggles on the first page of the notification menu (you can activate then through the settings).
Alternatively, you can change the notification bar's behavior that if you swipe down on the right you get to the quick sittings instantly, otherwise you'll get to the normal notification menu. Cm and aokp both have this feature. Pa has it too if I'm not completely mistaken.

I find power toggles pretty awful. Widgetsoid would be my choice. It's much like Samsung's touchwiz toggles, and fully customizable.

Cyanogen should add a feature where if you press the battery icon in the notification bar, settings would come out for it in a windowed box belox the notification bar. Same for the time and if you had wifi on for example you could click it to go to the wifi settings page. That would be so awesome!

This would require a complete rewrite of fundamental android elements and would not be a task someone would most likely undertake.

You can do something similar to what you want if you use the notification power widget. You can add toggles for all sorts of setting that lie within your notification bar that are very easy to access. You can enable in in CM settings.
I don't see the tiny wifi or battery icons as being good shortcuts. If you really want to though, try submitting a feature request on the cm bugtracker. It will get noticed more there.
Not very finger friendly up in the corner imo

Is there a mod that would give me a button on the bottom bar, to open notifications when tapped? The way I usually use this tablet, the top left is the exactly least convenient place to swipe when I'm holding it from the bottom.
I'm on the 3g model but if such a mod exists already, I presume it can be adapted.

Nova or Apex launchers will let you do that very easily.
In the settings you can choose what you want to happen when you tap the home key when you are on the home screen. One of the choices is pull down notifications.

OK, but that's still not a button in the nav bar. I'm looking for a button in the nav bar that pops open the notifications tray, without leaving whatever app I'm in.

i think he's saying to get that button you would need top use a custom launcher such as apex or holo.:good:
With Nova Launcher (I don't have any experience with Apex):
- tap and hold on homescreen
- select "Nova Actions"
- select "Expand Notifications"
When the shortcut is created, drag it to your nav bar.

... and in what ROM are you allowed to drag launcher shortcuts to your nav bar???
To be clear, by nav bar, I mean the black bar along the bottom with the back, home and multitask icons. I am looking to see if there is a mod that can change that to: Back, Home, Multitask, Open Tray.
In some of the cm 10 roms . in the settings /system settings / navigation bar.. You can add two buttons . And change what those do... I am not sure if you can set it to pull notifications or not but i think you might be able to.. I know the euroskank and paranoid android roms have this..
This takes a framework re work.. You will not get this feature in a launcher running on the stock android frame work.. Someone could code this. But doing so would break compatibility with other things .
There would be NO Stock solution for this The ones people are describing above will not work. You can add it to the dock if you have it enables..
Now most launchers Nova prime (what i use) has screen gestures. You could set that to swipe down bring notifications down swipe up close .
Good Luck
Good to know. I guess we'll have to see if devs can expand their ROMs to include 3G, even in absence of full source...

Sorry, my bad, I thought you meant the dock.
Any progress or answers?
I'd like some sort of solution to this.
Even something as simple as opening the notifications with a tap instead of a swipe would make a world of difference.
Maybe you should try a ROM with Tablet UI?
I'm looking for a rom that has a status bar at the top while pie control is active. Something like what's in the photo.
I've tried PA maybe I couldn't find the option.

Carbon, aokp, liquid.
But I'm fairly sure PA has it too.
You have to go to "Hybrid properties" swipe your finger to the right and click on interface. You will see two options, choosing the Nav. Bar option drag the blue bar all the way down to zero hit apply and enable pie.

CM 10.1 can do that.

I use CM 10.1, nova launcher, and I can have that.
Active extended desktop with CM 10.1 options (then active it with a long press on power button). Then, in Nova, make an action for double tap (or any gesture you like) that hide or show status bar.
And it rocks. You can have only navbar, only statusbar, or both, your call, very quickly.
(sorry for my bad English, feel free to help me ^^ )
I'm on stock and want to stay that way. Does anyone know of any apps that would extend my phone like a custom ROM, for example an app to customize quick settings or similar or an app that has power menu options etc, or something like ribbon by aokp....

Power Toggles has what you need for the quick settings/power menu options. Usable as both a desktop or a notification widget.
How can I use toggles in Halo 2.0? I have watched the videos, however none of them explain setup. I have tried the halo app and pinned apps in Halo, and also tried status bar widgets with power toggles. Nothing I have tried lets me toggle settings in Halo. Does anybody have an idea for me? Thanks in advance!
Its a third party app called power toggles. Download it from the play store. Then open the app and enable the notification widget.
It should then appear in halo.

Okay I have power toggles... It appears in halo with a lock icon. I tried whitelisting power toggles, but that doesn't work either. I'll try a reboot.
So after a reboot I still have the power toggle icon with a lock on it?

Did you open the app and enable the notification widget?
Yes the notification widget is enabled. The toggles display in the status bar, just not in halo.
