Add Samsung features to CM - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I installed CM10 M2 yesterday and it's amazing and seems very stable so far. But there are a few things I miss about the stock ROM.
1.) The slider lockscreen were you can have the slider with the quick shortcuts and weather and then you get the security screen. Is there anyway to have both on CM without using an app like widget locker. I will be happy to have the default google/CM slider screen
2.) Stay awake, any good apps in the play store?
3.) The notification bar, in stock if you swipe your finger from the top of the screen in a full screen app (like when playing a game or watching a movie) it would bring up the notification bar for a few seconds within the app. This was very handy to have and hope an app can bring this back or a CM mod.

wanted power bar and lockscreen

is there anyway to add the power bar at the top of the screen and lockscreen from miui to cm7 ??? i just like that you can have different wallpapers on the lockscreen and home screen is there an app for that???????? thanks
You cannot use the MIUI lockscreen with any other rom. You can use Widgetlocker, it's a great app and allows you to use a different wallpaper. You can also put widgets/shortcuts on the lockscreen and use custom sliders. If you're talking about how the notification bar is different on the lockscreen (the date on the left, fading transparency, etc) that's also MIUI specific. I haven't seen anything similar.
WidgetLocker is a paid app - $2-$3, but I think you can get it for a dollar from the Amazon app store.

[Q] Quick Setting Customizing

Can someone shed some light on how to go about customizing the "Quick Settings" (from notification bar drop down..) on TouchWiz based ROMs? Not asking about Jellybean (although, it could apply there as well)
For example, there is the icon for Flashlight and it is convenient to just use that instead of app drawer etc. So, extending this, I would like to add another icon in that list to launch an app or widget such as Negative colors or Maps etc.
You can't change them, but you can try this app.

You can add apps to the notification bar

The mods that are very important in choosing a rom

Hi there,
There are some mods that makes us choose a rom hoping we will be getting also a good battery life at the same time. My mods are:
Navigation bar button order
2g, sound, torch, data in tiles
Screenshot on power menu
T9 dialer
Volume wake
Center clock
Share your deciding mod list.
Cheers
PIE
Theme chooser
Want good battery? Just use stock with a custom kernel like Fugu.
Customizable nav bar(option to keep a power button) , this along with slide to awake makes it a totally button free experience
Expanded volume mod
Option to kill all apps in the recent apps menu
Battery percentage

Got another one, LED options. I like changing the duration and color of the light. Quick popup for texts are getting to be a must have too.

Notification toggles is usually the only thing I really "demand".
I like weather (lock screen and notifications). AOKP like (not the cheesy CM icons).

My reasons why many mod's are senseless to me:
Navigation bar button order - Stock's fine, doesn't bother me. If anything, it may take a while getting used to the order. Then again the same applies if you reorder them.
2g, sound, torch, data in tiles - Thats pretty much a given. Aren't these stock anyways?
Screenshot on power menu - Not necessary. Vol - plus Power
T9 dialer - Again, not a mod?
Volume wake - Don't want my phone doing funny things whilst in my pocket
Center clock- Its nice, not essential though. Covers up some of the notifications
PIE - In my experience, quite laggy, bogs down the headset. The extended screen is nice though, but the laggyness is a deal-breaker. Whatever happened to project butter? (Again, these are my experiences, your's may differ)
Theme chooser - Most themes aren't fully polished and add a sort of tackiness to the UI
Battery percentage - Keeps me from checking my battery life every 5 minutes.
Quick settings/tiles/whatever - Stock, not really a "mod"
I dislike having a myriad of MOD's on my phone. It brings me nothing but issues with laggyness and unresponsiveness. I just want the essential, fast, smooth, and stable.
PA's hybrid settings are a must for me. I think PA's colors stops a lot of my screen burn. If I could ever get touch to wake to work the way I wanted, that would be a must (but that's more of a kernel feature.)

For me, the fact that a ROM is built with linaro toolchain is important. My phone has never been so fast. Using Purity with AK kernel.
I just back to stock because afaik its the most stable and smooth and that's very important to me. I do miss some features like the quick toggles and the extended power menu.

For toggles, just install Notification Toggle. I've been using it on the stock ROM since ICS. Change the icons to the SquareGlassJellybean ones and it fits in the JB style perfectly.

quick toggles in the first notification bar

Hi,
I would like to have the quick toggles ( activate wifi, bluetooth ...) in the first notification bar.
I know Power Toggles but I don't want to use it because always put the battery icon and I don't like it.
Many thanks and sorry for my english!
Power toggles are just perfect, and you do not need root. you can have the battery icon made invisible, all app with toggles need the notification icon because the OP shuts it down from ICS and above

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This is what I use and it is very much customisable. You can also include any app of your choice using this. This app is called Widgetsoid.

Hope it helps.
Have you tried two finger swipe down on screen? Are these toggles no good? You can customise them on a lot of ROMs and set it up the way you prefer
+1 for Widgetsoid
Switch pro widget. I like it better because you can toggle on and off with one click the GPS, for example, while others brings you to the settings menu.

Another very good alternative is the notification Toggle and is free in the market:

Statusbar clock and date disappear after a while

I am running liquidsmooth v2.9 it's a 4.2.2 jelly bean.
I center my clock and date on the statusbar. When i am on the lock screen it naturally disappear as the time is displayed as a widget. When you unlock the phone the time and the date reappear as customized. However lately it has not be working correctly and simple don't display the clock and date anymore. It is a bit annoying because i now have to scroll through my desktop or pull notification to get the time. Any suggestion?
