I'm looking for a lockscreen with more options like what's available in some roms. Basically looking for more shortcuts and battery percentage. I know about widgetlocker but it doesn't work as nicely as a built in lockscreen .
Also looking for notification toggles. Again I know some roms have them but I want to try something different.

For Lockscreens the best option is a Custom ROM (AOKP) it has battery %, Octo Screen with 8 customisable shortcuts and icons.
for Notification toggles try Widgetsoid from the market. Can be customised a lot.
Thanks but I've tried aokp and it hasn't been totally stable for me, plus some lag. I want to try a lighter rom like redemption but I think I'd miss out on the lockscreen and toggles.

Hi all
Is there a quick toggle mod for the notification drop down menu like found on stock TouchWiz and Sense devices? Not looking for widgets on the "desktop"
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
You can try Widgetsoid in the Market. It will allow you to place themed toggles in the notification area without a widget. Just make sure you select "hide widgets".
That could work, however, I was looking more for a hard mod that could be flashed in there, like in past devices that I've used that didn't feature this by default (back in the Sense 2.1 days).
Like this? Its available on this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1383210

Is there a separate mod for that, looks pretty good

I haven't seen a separate mod. You can always ask the rom developer to make a flashable zip for you.

Yes, as long as the major toggles are all there (wifi, bt, gps, etc...) that is exactly it. Of course, on Touch Wiz, it's just one horizontal line of toggles (like the widget on the Nexus), and that is the cleanest. On sense 3.0, it's a vertical list of toggles.

I tried turning on the notification toggle in widgetsoid, it doesn't even show up for me.
Also, seeing how the music player can have different buttons in the same row, I don't see why it can't be possible for other apps to use this functionality too.
Edit: Widgetsoid works perfectly, almost exactly the same as the CM toggle bar (sans the side scrolling)
Someone should be able to make a new app for ics,
you can add buttons in the dropdown now so it should be possible with out a custom rom or even root
Is this what you are looking for?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1037817
"With this app, you can place different toggles into your Android status/notification bar for quick access without having a dozen toggle-widgets on your homescreens
You can choose which toggles to display in the settings of the app. You can also choose to combine different toggles into one "all in one" notification.
Unfortunately, on most devices you can only define one action per notification, so on these it will show a small dialog with the available toggles when clicking on the "all in one" notification. But some devices (seems like all devices with HTC Sense ROM) can distinguish where in the notification you clicked and on these you don't have to see the dialog.
The app is for free in the Android market, would be nice to get some feedback"
I've been running aokp for a while now and wanted to try out other roms like redemption. However I don't know if I can live without some of the goodies like rom control. Particularly I like the modified lockscreen with weather, and notification toggles. Is there any way to flash rom control or something similar into another rom?
Thanks,

Probably not.

CyanogenMod has similar detailed configuration functionality, but at the moment, it's nowhere as detailed as AOKP.
Ok, I decided to start this thread in order for these roms to get better. It's not just a question of who's the best but this thread aims to provide both groups with users expreriences in order for their roms to get better. In order for us to do that we need to state our:
** likes for each rom
** dislikes
** battery life
** other bugs
** suggestions
If you ask why I choose those to roms, it's just because they're my two favorites. Respect to all devs here us their work is simly amazing. Thread starts while AOKP is on build 3 and CNA on 3.6 release.
The only thing that I hate about aokp is their notification toggles. It doesnt fit at all!! (In the JB statusbar) while the power widget from cm10 fits like google put it in. So if aokp redisigns their toggles it would be nice.

CNA has an unroot option in the menu. Personally I prefer to have an unrooted device, but I like the customization of the ROM. It can be the best of both worlds.

See the toggles are what I love about aokp. I know I'm in the minority. Those toggles are stock jelly bean toggles just FYI.

same here, those toggles are my favorite, that power widget is the first thing i get rid of - i think it's an eyesore.
I was on CNA and its good but missing some features that I like in AOKP & CM10. Like the cm10 percentage battery and Led options like in aokp Also the navbar soft key customization. The main thing I noticed about CNA that I didn't like was, receiving text messages is slow, it takes a long time to get a text from the person. The only other ROM to be slow with receiving SMS was MIUI jellybean.

Ask the dev of that Rom because taking my files needed for ripple will effectively make it alliance because of the amount of files involved

There's an s3 style system ui in the forum as again...taking mine would add all my other mods too.
Can I ask...if the ROM you want has less/none of the stuff you want, why do you want it? What ROM is it?

Cause i used your rom and the aettings ui and all the other stuff doesnt look likr galaxy s 3 it looks like pure ics with launcher and icons thats it.
I dont say your rom os bad, on fqct i really like it but its missing some of the sgs3 stuff i wanted.
Oh and one more thing when i installed the rom costumizer i didnt found the rom settings panel, is this because i dont have your rom. If this is the reason so can you give me the settings panrl with all the lockscreens and aettings please

Lolol. Yes no settings cos youre not on my rom. But no even if i gave it you it wont work. The settings app just changes database. The lockscreens and mods aren't in the app they're in the framework!!
If you read a little you would have seen that you can download a full s3 theme from ota in my ROM.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
I worked a little on this subject and here are my conclusions :
- S3 Notification panel can be installed on any LPX Roms using MOD like Mirko SystemUI (I mad a S3 theme for it),
- Ripple Lockscreen mod is built on framework files & SystemUI, it is very hard to extract to make it work on any ROM (I tried it hard beleive me),
- If you realy want Ripple Lockscreen MOD : install Widget Locker & Ripple mod (see dedicated HowTo in this forum) or better install a ROM like Alliance or Simplistic which provide a full framework that is rock stable and fully customisable.

LOVE MEEE!
So has development of TW ROMs stopped? Is there not any mods or tweaks left to make a unique TW ROM? I'm kind of getting bored of having the same styled ROMs because honestly all CM based ROMs are pretty much the same because of the fact that they are all CM based obviously. It was nice having TW and CM7. Then getting CM9 and CM10 and now CM10.1 but it seems that all the ROMs have the same basic settings and themes.
Avatar ROM was a little different and I liked it but not too much different since its also CM10.1 based. What I'm really looking for is a TW ROM with all the mods that they're used to be like the lockscreens and clock position in status bar and all the little things that made TW ROMs better. Do any of those even exist anymore for any phone?

You not so satisfied with The People's and Legacy? I don't use them but they still seem popular after all this time.
And why not take time to theme and mod CM ROMs yourself? Themes, lockscreen mods, launchers and widgets are scattered around for you to revamp the experience. Personally I don't like non-AOSP style, but to imitate a GS3 I downloaded a "GS3-Addon", did a bit modification to it and flashed upon a CM10 nightly, which in the end turned out to be REALLY, REALLY similar experience to the real TouchWiz 5!
Just saying, you can try similar tricks yourself, though it takes some time

Could you post a screenshot of your TW 5? I'd like to see how close you've gotten. And your right about all that but I'm honestly just missing the good old TW ROMs that had amazing battery life and many tweaks and themes and stuff. I used to theme TW ROMs and worked on a few mods and I was doing pretty good but that was last summer. Since I started college I haven't really had much free time to work on that kind of stuff.

Not SO close actually TW-specific apps are mostly missing. But apps like S Note, Super Video (floating video player on S3), TW5 launcher and widgets are all there. More I can't remember.
I'll post screenshots 2 days later as we're having tests these days and my E4G is currently on CM10.1 so I have to restore the nandroid backup.

Its cool don't worry about the screenshots.
Do you know a way to get the lockscreen on cm10.1 to be like it was on 10 and 9? I mean to have the rings with the shortcuts before the actual unlock pattern? Is there a way to change that? I wanna start working on my ROM to make it the way I actually want.

@lilajrestnom Hey I have an idea. Settings - Lockscreen - check "Maximize widgets". In this way you'll have to long press the lock icon on the bottom of the screen to bring up the lock security, which I think is just what you want. This is tested to work with "pattern" lock security.
