The ONLY thing I dont like about the Samsung Galaxy S2's stock ROM is the toggles in the notification bar. Any way to change them?
Err... that's the _only_ thing?
I didn't think the notification panel can be changed in anything stock... that's Tmo and Samsung's way to make it "idiot proof"
Toggles arent even good... And yes, i really like stock. Runs perfect, great battery life, looks good, etc.

Has anybody done this, without getting a custom ROM?

Rushing's ROMs are pretty much stock, with custom toggles. I've heard nothing but good things from them.

I'd really love a transparent status bar and navigation bar. It looks like this has been done here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1388554&page=12
Unfortunately this does not work on 4.03 and in addition there are differences between LTE and CDMA so the mod would need to be LTE specific in my case.
Does anybody know of such a mod that exists? I've searched high and low. Thanks!

Thanks for the statement, now you mind sharing the info....gotta screen shot, where's the mod? I assume you're running the GSM version?
me wantz this too.... !!!!
Works for me on 4.0.3 - you need to put in some work yourself if you dont want the percentage battery, tho. ROM needs to be deodexed afaik.
Frysee, Is that a flashable CWM file? and does it work with LTE/Toro Nexus? Thanks in advance... Realy looking forward for this mod.
Will this work on revolution HD 4.0.2? Also can toy flash it through cmw?
Would love to know if this works on the CDMA nexus as well, specifically running Axiom 2.4, with battery percentage and search button in nav bar enabled
Is there something with only the clear Navigation bar? I dont want to mod the status bar
does this work on gummy rom?

softkey mod is easy as long as you have the PNGs.
hmmm. maybe the notification bar and navigation bars are also just a couple of PNGs?
can anyone point me in the right direction? I think I can do this myself if I know which files to replace

Idle has then built into one mod. So get the transparency plus choice of different softkeys. You can ask him how he did it.

I tried to do the mod with apk multitool and decompiling the systemui.apk myself last night but I kept losing the nav bar and not bar, then I tried to do Idle's mod and I still kept losing them despite it being built for AOKP m2, so if you figure out if its just a png replacement let us know!
I been at this all night; couldnt get it going at all...just kept losing everything. And here I thought I just didnt know what i was doing. Let me know if anyone figures it out.
Thanks
Is there a way to get the battery bar like the roms had on the gnex? That and being able to change the color of the capacitive buttons on the gnex were my favorite 2 mods. Thanks

Yup. Try CM9. But it only has 1 color to it for now. Though, you always use the app called Chargebar. Its available in play store and it gives you more features

In cm9 there is no way to change the color, height, position, etc. Its just one color which is holo color.

Its actually called the miui battery bar as that is where it originated
And here's an app for the same thing and its fully customizable

I'm using AOKP now and it is already part of the rom. Awesome rom by the way haven't noticed any problems yet.
I've been using T.E.A.M. Battery Bar for a while and works great, another option that's out there.

Does anyone know if this is possible to do. I think it would give our nexus a better full screen effect.
Anything is possible but it supposedly killed performance on old versions
But I would also like to see this in the future
And also there are multiple threads explaining this bump

Yes it is possible... But you're going to have to do some decompiling and compiling and change the status bar back ground .PNG file and recompile the .apk....

well, you can't get transparent navigation bar in JB by changing the background only, but you have to do your changes in smali too
A black to transparent fade in both status and navbar would be sweet as hell.
Please make this happen <3
Just like in Atrix HD
Bump! lookin' forward to this mod
What does the atrix launch with? ICS or jb?
Bump! i'd love it!

ICS for sure. When JB was released, it was only available for the Galaxy nexus, nexus S and motorola XOOM, and the Atrix was out before that
What's with all the talk about status bars? The guy asked about the navigation bar (where the soft keys are)
Haven't seen anything about it. But I agree that it would be pretty sweet and I would be down.
I've read on another thread that someone managed to make the navbar transparent. Only problem was the glow from touch stayed after using the buttons...
Haven't read that thread in a while, think it died.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I have been thinking about this too since the day I got my Gnex..
I use a black background usually, but I think it'd be very very cool to get the navbar to be transparent. Even if the button glow had to be removed (when I run AOKP, I turn the button glow off anyway - I think it looks retarded how it gets cut off on the top and bottom on shorter nav bars).
Would definitely be interested in seeing something done here.
Couldnt we just get a cm build from them and copy the framework required?
I'd love a transparent volume indicator. I know its available but I want to have it on the stock Google ROM.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

Awesome would be 80 or 100% transparebt Statusbar i think kind of easier. But i don't know either.. but i may be wrong

Maybe I sound like a dummy but I notice that if you put in your own custom wallpaper, the statusbar turns black like on the S3, but if you use the Samsung wallpapers, it is transparent. Is there anyway to make it ALWAYS transparent?
Also, is it possible to have multiple widgets with a PIN? Because I notice once you put a pin in, Samsung disables alot of the things you can do with the 4.2 lockscreen, which is dumb and defeats the purpose...

Nope. You answered your own question. Even without a PIN, they hork a lot of what 4.2 can do stock. Yet another reason why AOSP-based ROMs are superior.
Nova launcher has the option to set transparent notification bar on custom walls.

I was figuring it too! Wonder why no transparent status bar.. And the widgets are not full when you wake the device..
For those of you who've tried the Google edition Roms for the M919, you know that these are some of the best ways to enjoy a stable 4.3 Nexus-like experience on our phone. I personally enjoy the VirginRom, thanks to it's stability and also the patience and kindness of its developer, Mr. Virginia (check out his thread in Dev section).
My question is, what apps or mods do people use to enhance the Nexus experience on these Roms. For example, what app is good for adding notification toggles? Is there a mod for changing quick settings? Etc. Thanks.

For quick toggles, get widgetsoid, change it to black and put notification icon to none and you have a touchwiz/jb like status bar

Cool, I'll check widgetsoid out. Haven't used it since Froyo. I was using Settings Extended, simple and nice looking. But maybe Widgetsoid allows for larger toggles.
Too bad stock Android doesn't allow for Quick Settings customization, like CM 10.1 and CM 10.2. It just makes sense.
