[Q] How to port elements of a rom - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was wondering if anyone can help me port some elements from the ported roms. I am running the latest official EVO Rom sense 1.0 with gb. Over time I have found some things I enjoy on the ports but I don't want the hassle of reboots and such. So these are the things I would like to add to the stock rooted Rom, just need help incorporating it.
*Notification dropdown with recent apps and quick settings
*Reboot menu options
*Lockscreen with ring (including incomming call answer/decline)
*Higher resolution / smaller size
*1x / 3g display
*Better battery life like gengersense
Any help would be appreciated.

[Q] How Do I Get Taskbar Settings?

I used to run Synergy on my Evo, and I just switched over to Fresh. Is there any way to install the quick settings in the task bar on this ROM? That was one of my favorite parts of the old one, and I'd really love to have it again!
The thing I'm talking about is when you drag down the notifications menu, it shows two tabs on the bottom, "Notifications" and "Settings", and you just tapped settings and it brought you to a huge list of different toggles.
Thanks in advance everyone! I really appreciate all the help I can get

The other Rom you were using (Synergy) is based on Sense 2.1 and 3.x. Fresh is based on the Evo stock rom which uses Sense 1.x. There are some apps that will replicate this functionality, but you wont get the notification toggles in anything with Sense 1.x stock.
I believe you can use something like Widgetsoid (from the market) and create a notification toggle with that, but I've never done it myself. Search for notification toggles in the market though. I'm sure you can find something.

Sense Question

Im running the latest OTA on my dinc, I was wondering if there is an easy way to put the sense 2.1 status bar in sense 1.0 for the convenient quick settings tab, or is that doing some major customization work?
Thanks.

There is quite a bit of work involved in getting the quick settings working on 4.08.605.15. I managed to get qs tab and advanced power menu to work on my rom Touch of blue which is based on 4.08.605.15. However the qs tabs descriptions are wrong, they say low memory or low on space instead of on or off. Everything else is perfect and functional. I had to take a mod from the original gb ota, and modify it to get it to work. I just cant figure out the qs descriptions. There are several system files that need to be edited to get it to work. You could always try my rom. Its mostly stock just with a slight blue theme and the advanced features everyone wants. You can find the link to it in my sig.

Well, I don't know of any easy way to do that, but you should check out some apps. For example, I am running a Jellybean rom and I do not how the quick settings in the status bar. so, what i did is i downloaded an app called "notification toggle" from the play store. It is free, works well, and it does what it needs to. It also has a brightness and volume slider. check it out.

[Q] Android 4.2 mod or rom for old AOKP toggles.

I'm currently on android 4.1 with an AOKP-based rom. I've been looking at several android 4.2 roms and while some of them look like they've got a lot of great features, I really don't want to give up my current toggles. I don't like there being a separate pane/tab for toggles in the notification menu (along with having an extra step to switch back and forth). I don't need a lot of toggles and currently only have 4 at the top of my notification pane (with a brightness slider above them). Does anyone know of a rom that supports the old AOKP toggles in android 4.2 or a mod that can add them? Failing that, is there any mod/rom that can at least show toggles and notifications in the same pane without having to switch back and forth?
Thanks in advance.
I currently use CM10.1, and you can have Quick Settings, the power widget, both, or neither.

Ditto for any CM10.1 based rom. Which is a lot of them.
There's even a handy toggle for right swipe to quick Settings and left for normal notification bar. Made power widget obsolete for me.

Do you recommend any particular CM10 based roms? I've been using mostly AOKP based roms (pre 4.2) but none of the 4.2 AOKP roms seem to have this feature.

[Q] [REQUEST] - Mods from CM10.1

Hi folks,
I've recently ported from S2 running CM10.1 nightly to N4 with stock rooted and I'm missing some nice mods / hacks from CM, such as right swipe of notification bar to see settings and left swipe for notifications, long press on settings from notification bar to go for certain settings like WiFi and more.
Does anyone know if such ports from CM10.1 are available for flash to a rooted stock?
If there a list of such ports, I'll appreciate a link.
Thanks in advance,
Bright
Just flash CM10.1
Thanks for the offer, but I would like to remain with my stock
Are there any other resources for applying CM10.1 features to 4.2.1 rooted stock?
With nexus devices, people don't really bother modding the stock rom, as aosp is perfectly stable on the n4 and identical to the stock rom anyway.
No bloody smali hacks, all source

[Q] Two Questions About 4.1.2 Notification Interface

1. Does anyone else find the notification font to be too big? If it was smaller, I could see more detail, in say, the Gmail notifications. Is there a way this can be changed? Also, is this different on any of the custom TW roms based on this new T-Mobile base?
2. The quick toggles are missing the data toggle. Same questions here: can this be changed? are there custom TW roms that have this? (I believe yes, since all the custom 4.0.4 roms I had included this useful toggle.)
(Note: I'm only interested in custom roms that include Wi-Fi calling, but please feel free to answer generally to help others who stumble upon this thread.)

I'm not sure about the notification font but I think you can just go into the display settings, reduce the font and see how that goes, and for the data toggles I do have one (I'm using the jedi mind trick jb rom by ptmr3) it is also customizable too. :thumbup:

I was also quite surprised by the large font size in the notifications which made everything quite crowded in there. The Display font size in settings does not affect the notification fonts unfortunately. Luckily, ptmr3's Jedi Mind Trick JB includes a nice fix for this with the Per-app DPI settings.
1. In Settings, Jedi ROM Tricks, Custom Framework Install, make sure the Framework is active by clicking Install / Update
2. At the same place, in the Modules tab, make sure Xposed App Settings is checked
3. In Settings Jedi ROM Tricks, Per-App DPI Settings, search for systemUI.
4. Toggle the switch to ON and set DPI to 200 or 210 (I use 210). Leave everything else as is.
5. Click the Save icon in the top right
6. Reboot phone and profit!
As for your second question, JMT JB does include a Data toggle

Right now I'm on the stock official JB release. I've changed the font size under the display settings to tiny, and everything seems much better now. Also if you go into setting in the Messaging App you can check a box to allow the volume rockers to change the size of the messages. This also helped me as I didn't like how big the bubbles were by default. Once you are in a convo you can press the down volume to make everything smaller.

Changing the font size in the settings does not affect the Notifications, but in general I like the small font everywhere. Next weekend, I will probably reroot. I wanted to give stock a chance. The last 6 months I've been bouncing between Infamous 3.1 and Jedi Mind Trick. I will probably give the new Jedi ROM a try.
