Quick Menu Toggles from the top?

All,
Is there anything anything that can be downloaded to add the power controls to the notification menu?
I know Cyanogen has this baked in as does Touch Wiz - I'm just wondering if there is an easy APK that does this though?
Here is a screenshot showing the types of options I'm asking for:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Thanks!

As has been said more than a few times already in various threads, widgetsoid.

Install widgetsoid to get a very similar feature. you can customize how it looks, which can look really nice. see screenshot. Only downside is that its not always on top, no big deal. The tappable toggles only work in ICS, anything lower seems to open a separate popup no matter what you tap. So SGN users, this is perfect!

I don't think the op is looking for a market app. He is looking for a systemui.apk mod like the sgs2 has and cm7 has baked in.
OP I am very confident we will see this soon as soon as devs become more familiar with ics. Until then I guess you could try a market app that the other Guy referred to

This does nothing .... what am i doing wrong ?

I don't even see the notification option in the Advanced menu... Do I have to enable/disable something else to get those options to appear?
Derp...I found it, it's in the Advanced options for each widget, not in the general app Advanced screen. >_<

This works much better on ics then gb. Does every thing I need. And I have my own thread on this topic
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

can someone do a quick tutorial to set this up so the widgets can be added to the notification drop down screen please?

There's another option. Download Elixir 2 and Elixir 2 Widget. It's a great free App for system info, and also has homescreen widgets and notification bar Widgets. Very easy to customize and should work great for you all.

Create the widget as you please.
Scroll on bottom, go to advanced
Check notification
Place it on any screen.
Then open the app in the app drawer.
Scroll down in 'advanced' until you get to widget visibility, check it.
Save and your good.
You can also place more than one row... look at next post. =)

but many problem..

can you fix it?
if you edit 4.0.2 or 4.0.1
you see SystemUI FC....

That's a great idea!

This looks amazing, but sadly I'm not a developer or themer so I wont be able to help you over here. I hope to see this working in the future

Honestly, ICS on the touchpad was my first taste of ICS and I love it. Picked up my GN and I wish it behaved more like the tablet UI. Especially the notifications and power settings. It is so much more intuitive on the tablet. So yes, this would be awesome and I for one would be first in line to check it out.

This would be pretty amazing considering that Boot Manager now works with the Galaxy Nexus. Have one regular phone rom and one "tablet" rom.

Don't misunderstand me. I like the tablet layout as much as the other guy. I'm just saying that the idea of reproducing it on a device with less than one quarter screen surface seems rather silly, wouldn't you agree?

I wouldn't agree. But I respect your opinion.

Immediate one touch access to pop up notifications. Not full screen pull down for notifications and toggles. I would love a notifications/toggles soft key instead of a top down pane. Its less convenient to pull down an entire pane and then pull it back up when I could just access it with one touch and return to my app by tapping out of the pane.

I would love to get the Tablet UI for when the device is connected to a TV/monitor using the MHL adapter. Right now the built in Bluetooth keyboard and mouse option makes this a viable option for travel and being able to use the tablet layout when using an HDMI connection would be awesome. While the mobile UI in landscape works fine on a big screen, there is definitely room for improvement.

I guess I don't have a "thanks" button yet, so I want to reply and say so myself. Until today I was using a Play Store light app and it was not as easy as having a widget. It is a bit annoying that it is 2x1 though.
I am trying to learn to develop for Android but I am not entirely sure how one goes about taking the source code for stuff like this light widget, changing it, and making an APK. I'm sure there are resources somewhere here or on the Internets in general that I will explore in the next few weeks and try to contribute.
As for my contribution to this post. I think Circle Launcher is one of the best apps you can have. I have a clear home screen with a picture on it but if you click one person;s cheek, it launches an invisible circle of useful apps

Assistive light is tacky. There's a market widget called "flashlight widget" that's just a nice light bulb icon.

[TIP]- How to get custom notification toggles without root or flashing.

Hello peeps.. so I decided to share a nice trick that has been working amazingly well for me. If you want to add things like flash light.. mobile data...brightness control to your notification area head on over to the play store and get Notification Toggle. Let's you customize whichever toggles you'd like. Also let's you download and change the icons to each toggle.. really fresh and I have been rocking it for a while with no issues. For those who don't know about this app.. knock yourself out!!

Here is a screenie of my set up.

Okay i noticed a small problem. You know for using notification toggle you need to enable it under accessibility settings. Some how this is partly turning on the talk back accessibility service. When you pinch to collapse home screens or apps in drawer, it starts talking. Anyone else having this problem?
Sent from my SGH-T999

Turn talk back off. its right above the notification toggle on/off switch. You might have turned it on accidently.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Talk back is turned off, that's the first thing i checked. The talk back happens only when pinching home screen and app drawer. If talk back is on it talks for every screen touch any where, which is not happening.
Sent from my SGH-T999

I have the same problem. Turn off toggle notification in the accessibility section. It will still work just won't stay on top in the ongoing notification section. But all other notifications won't. Not a big deal to me...talk back was really irritating.

[List] Must Have Nexus 7 Apps

I plan on transferring all of my apps and games over to my Nexus 7 with Paranoid Android ROM installed via Titanium Backup minus the Samsung only stuff in the coming days... figured I'd post this to give other people ideas about what to install on their amazing new devices since it can be time-consuming to search and navigate the market sometimes if you are new to the Android scene. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
Here are some screenshots of my Samsung Galaxy Note II smartphone as of 08.12.13. Four Apex Launcher Pro homescreens running in CleanROM V5.0 with Perseus Kernel V36.3... The screenshots include my most used and favorite apps somewhat sorted by category... have around 220 apps installed after months of stability and battery testing, but have narrowed it down to the best to be displayed on the 196 available spots due to the custom 7x7 grid... check it out if you need some new Android apps!
