I don't quite know what the thing is called. That's basically my question:
Can the pull-down connectivity bar at the top that allows you to quickly turn on or off wifi, Bluetooth and GPS as well as switch between vibration and ring tone be installed on a Sense ROM?
I've encountered it on CyanogenMod 6.1.1 and rather liked it. Unfortunately, I prefer some of the HTC Sense functionality, so I switched back to the stock ROM (after learning how to uninstall uninstallable apps, that is ). But the stock does not have this bar. Where it would normaly be, there is only my network provider's name and a delete button for the messages.
How do I get this functionality back?
Regards and thank you,
it's built into the framework of a rom. If you want the feature then I suggest you install a rom with it or just use the power widget thing
Seriously? The only option is a widget? That's sad.
Afraid so, the widget notification bar thing is one of the tweaks and features Cyanogen put in CM. It is quite handy.
Back when I had my Evo there were devs making flashable zips for notification pull down controls for this so I'd assume they're around for the G2 as well. On the Evo it required a Deodexed ROM though so you might as well just flash one that already has em in it at that rate.
Hmmm... I'm just warming up to the Virtuous ROM so I don't think using Cyanogen again will be an option.
Ah, what the heck, whether I pull down the menu or scroll to the right once doesn't matter much, does it .
Thanks for the replies .

I'm currently using Cyanogen Mod because of the customizable notifcation power widgets. It lets you choose the order they appear in, how many you want, and it's scrollable. I also like that it's bluetooth isnt totally broken, and doesnt give me any problems with my headphones. It also allows access to android's built in wifi tether, which I require because I have a xoom. The notification widgets have a button to turn on the tether quickly.
However, I love and would really like to have the newer HTC music, camera, and clock apps. I know I cant install these on a non sense rom.
So, the question is, is there a sense 2.1+ rom, with gingerbread, that has a non broken bluetooth, and a similar set up for the notification widgets with the tether option.
All I've tried is Mikz, and that's how I found out about the new HTC apps. Thanks in advance.
Try Virus's ace port. It's quite stable. I don't know about bluetooth tho as I never tried it.
I'm using KyanROM, coming from CM10 which I used from day one when it came out, great ROM, but obviously early in it's development so holding out a bit. Anyways, I got pretty used to the toggles, and cringe now that I'm stock again( yes, I know I can go to AOKP or CM9, but want to run stock for a bit ), at the toggles here, especially the "moving" every time you open notifications( what a bad design decision ). So I was wondering if anyone knows of a mod to completely remove the toggles all together? I really like Notification Toggle from the Market, but it takes up too much room and is redundant with the default toggles there.
Really hoping there is a way around this, or in the very least, maybe another toggle mod out there to get rid of the "moving on open" and choose what you want displayed.
Thanks.
+1 on this and please post anything you discover back for others. I would really like to be able to add a Tethering toggle and a Flashlight toggle to notifications toggles.
Ideally a nifty app would let you configure them how you wanted.
Haven't heard or found anything unfortunately, ah well ill be back on JB soon enough when a2dp and camera bugs are worked out

I've been using the Blu Kuban mod for months and really liked the color schemes, being able to take screenshots by holding the power button, the expanded toggle bar at the top of the pull down, the transparent pulldown... Essentially, there were a tons of things I liked... until my phone died and I got a new stock unit.
Apparently, I've been missing voicemails for months, GPS locks on instantly now, 4g speeds are amazing, and the phone seems a bit more responsive...
So, I'm wondering how many things I can change from the stock rom to get rid of the stupid bloat crap but what I should keep to maintain functionality. Also, can I change the drop down/toggle bar/color/themes on the stock rom?
Thanks

root and use rom toolbox to remove all the bloat apps. as for the toggles im pretty sure theres a thread in the themes section with toggle themes for TW roms, but im not to sure on that
If youre question is how far can you go then the awnser would be AOSP

I use stock rom deodexed i removed all the bloat myself with root app installer..and added the JB tweaks pack to get more power button options and more options in notification pane. Still have great service. I use agats kernel with recovery also.

Hello,
I am new to Android. Have a HTC One M8 with Viperone Rom. I have moved from iPhone.
I have done some thorough research but sometimes can't find a straight answer. I hope you guys can help give me some guidance. Some questions may be totally ridiculous so excuse my ignorance.
Questions about Lock Screen:
1. How can I modify lock screen? I would like something similar to iOS.
2. There are lock screen launchers on the app store, is there other alternatives? App store launchers feels like add-ons to stock lock screen - doesn't feel smooth nor secure.
3. Access notification panel on lock screen? Even without entering pass code?
4. Better music controls like iOS?
Questions about Home Screen:
1. How to modify launcher? Any home screens that mimic windows phone 8 live tiles?
2. Can I get Google Now Launcher for Viperone Rom?
3. Can I enable/disable widgets to save on battery life?
4. Is there a way of replacing blinkfeed with google now or an entire full screen app such as faceboook or flipboard?
Questions about Notification Panel:
1. Any iOS-like notification panel?
2. Control Center like panel with unified music controls?
Questions about Battery Life:
1. My battery life is very bad. 3 hours with screen on over a whole day period - See attached. Is that normal?
2. What is the most common GPU Governor? I had mine on ONDEMAND but now moved to conservate. Makes a difference with battery life?
Questions about Viperone and Sense:
1. Is there multi-tasking dual app function?
2. I don't see any sound enhancer option?
3. No switch for changing from 4G to 3G to 2G mobile radio?
4. Activator like function?
5. Can I disable Google Now switch up home button function? Sometimes it's really sensitive and buggy?
Sorry for the numerous questions! But if anyone can answer them all for me it will be greatly appreciated!!
Regards,
RollZ
Lockscreen:
You can change it to the AOSP lockscreen in the Viper tweaks and see if you like that (look under the lockscreen section)
I believe you can already access the notification bar while one the lockscreen unless changed in viper tweaks
Homescreen:
To have a windows tiled homescreen you can try Launcher 8
Google Now Launcher Cant download from the play store and have to download the apk, and install and keep it updated yourself....
You can remove The blinkfeed page but i do not believe you can replace it... Not to my knowledge
To disable widgets just delete it off the homescreen ... hold widget and drag to top
Notification Panels:
There aren't many ways to change the notification panel. But you can look in the Viper Tweaks and change what you want in there.
Music controls can be used on the lockscreen and notification panel, other than that Not quite sure
Battery
My phone usually lasts 24-48 hrs with texting and social things. be sure to use the power saver setting under battery in the settings. It helps a bit
I'd leave all that alone and stock. 1ghz cpu and ondemand govener. This phone is powerful and doesn't require 2ghz
Other:
I dont believe there is any one sense for dual app things... maybe someone else can come by and answer that
There are no music enhancements on the htc one m8 its just whats already there (I may get corrected) But I use power amp to tune my music how i want it. The audio is nice on this phone already. If you need a music enhancer check out Harman/Kardon mod Make sure you are S-off to avoid problems... S-off ing doesnt take that much experience and it self explanatory! Its good to have !
Not sure why you would want to be switching... but you can turn off LTE by going to setting and clicking on Mobile Data (not the on/off switch) and network mode and changing it that way or go into Venom Tweaks and the misc options and click phone info and there is a pop down menu with a bunch of options
Activator?
Not sure if you can switch the home button but you can go into Settings>apps>All and click Google Search and hit disable and if you ever want it back just go back to it and hit enable
I hope i help a little ! Have a nice night!
Hello,
Thanks for your answers bilbox...but that stuff I already know.
But more technical stuff.
Tried AOSP lock screen from viper tweaks...its okay but don't see a camera shortcut like it should be.
notification panel I find can only be access if ur phone is within the time period set by the auto lock.
Notification panel tweaks are still very limited - and doesn't look as nice as iOS. No blurred translucency? and control center access with unified music controls? Some easy access widgets would be nice.
Launcher 8 I know but haven't tried...dunno how comprehensively good it is at mimics all features of home screen.
Widgets I know how to remove but is there a way to temporoarily disable for saving ram and battery?
Also can u have unlimited home pages? If no blinkfeed mod replacement that would be awesome mod request idea! Wouldn't it be great to swipe to have instant Facebook/messaging?
Probs have no choice but to tone down CPU settings for stupid battery.
How bout tweaks for auto switching mobile signal off while WiFi is on. I have a basic tasker set up but tasker says it has can't control certain settings aspect unless "rooted" which I Am!
Anyone can help answer other queries I have would be fantastic!

Perhaps for your lockscreen try an app like widget locker...Lot of customization there once you get the right widgets. You could use Zooper or UCCW to create your own widgets as well.
There are good amount of notification panel tweaks in Venom Tweaks. That combined with Statusbar themes in the Hub should give you all the customization you would need.
What exactly do you think disabling widgets would save for battery life/ram? Probably better off looking into what is draining your battery so fast if that is an issue. Use an app like Better Battery Stats and as far as ram goes the phone has plenty so really no need to worry about it. Android itself actually does a pretty good job managing resources.
If you setup wifi and leave it on it should auto switch between mobile data/wifi when within or out of range. Leaving wifi on should not drain battery to much if properly configured.
You can not have unlimited home screens. I believe the limit in Viper is 5 and that can be increased to 7 using the Sense 6 Toolbox xposed module.
Notification pulldown tweaks aren't applying
I realize this is kind of an old thread.
I just installed ViperOne (6.2.0) on my HTC One M7 (AT&T). Android v. 4.4.2, Sense v. 6.0. I know this thread is for M8, but I doubt this would be an issue.
I've messed with the tweaks quite a bit and pretty much have everything the way I want, except for the notification pulldown screen. It has the weather and HEQS. I don't want these here.
I have Googled, read the User Guide on the Venom website, restarted the status bar on the phone, restarted the phone (quick and full), but I cannot hide the weather or HEQS. I tried the suggestions on the User Guide to make the notification area look more like stock.
Am I missing something? I very well could be.
Thank you in advance for any help.

Hello,
I don't have weather nor HEQS on my notification pull down.
Under venon tweaks > status bar, I have HEQS Style set to original and the Hide/Show Quick settings/Quick Launch set to Off. If you scroll futher down to the Notification pull down tweaks section, click weather and click hide, to hide the weather.
Hope that helps.
Best Regards,
Homescreen
Dear friends, I just locked the workspace of homescreen. How do I unlock it? Searched and tried everything. Can't move anything on homescreen. Please help!!
Well hello Lads and Gents,
I've been using the PACman ROM, which unfortunately hasn't been updated for a year, for a long time and I was amazed by the variety of functions available in this All-in-One ROM! But a weird bug in the ParanoidAndroid options (will talk about it later) annoyed me, so Mustaavalkosta's CM11 release got my attention.
I have to say that KitKat is pretty cool! But for some odd reason, my Google Calendar isn't syncing at all, the extended desktop feature doesn't change a thing, Trebuchet went full retard so I had to delete and replace it with a version designed for non-rooted phones, random freezes, etc. (will add more when I find more)
Nevertheless CM11 features nice data protection options and other little things that I didn't have in the PACman ROM (as it's JellyBean), while PACman ROM had nice features I don't have in CM11...
So my core question is: Is there a way to install AOKP and PA features in CM11? I really loved Pie and the notification bar customization (PA) was really cool too, even though it didn't work for me. I'd appreciate any hints on how to add new features (from other ROMs) on my phone without f*cking it up.
Also, is over the air updating possible for the nightlies?
And about that weird ParanoidAndroid notification bar customization bug: The problem was that the scaling of the settings were wrong. To be able to access the field where the color is set, I had to turn my phone to landscape mode. But when I did that the color palette which opened had its save button outside of the screen, no way to scroll. If I turned it back into portrait mode, the dialogue simply disappeared! I tried everything to fix it but I had no chance. So I've been unable to change any of the notification bar settings for ANY app.
Thanks in advance!

You could either build your own ROM with the features you want, or find replacement apps. There's not really a drag-and-drop method for adding new features.

So that means I have to learn ROM coding? Oh lord... I thought there might be an easier way to bypass just this solution.
