How, without root / flash?
I use Notification Toggle: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.notificationToggle
I think it's the best one because of its customization options and the fact that I can download stock ICS icons for it. Plus, you can add apps (free, included in app) and shortcuts ($0.99 add-on). Like I have the shortcut for my AudioManager Pro Profile list in there and an icon that runs the Lockscreen app (saves pressing the power button to shut the screen off).
I'm not rooted. The only useful thing root would give me is the ability to directly toggle GPS rather than having to go to the settings page, but considering I almost always leave GPS on, I don't really care about that.

+ 1 for that......im using too and it is awesome.....
elixir2 does this also...
I also prefer Notification Toggle over Widgetsoid. Stock icons and the ability to always have it at the top of the notification screen. My only complaint is that it's a little laggy when tapping thru the brightness settings.
I use AoKp to do this without using a app....:beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer:

Much easier to install a custom rom than an app right? lol
Anyway, +1 for Notification Toggle. I was using Extended Controls for it but Notification Toggle is much better since it stays on top of other notifications and it also replaces the Battery Widget that I was using to display the battery % in the bar.
so have any of these been updated so that i don't have a constant icon running in my notification bar? i don't know why but that's a dealbreaker for me.
btw, i'm not rooting yet until CM9. temporary solutions without the annoying notification icon?
Thanks OP
Forgot about widgetsoid and how awesome it is. Between this and Nova launcher gestures I now have the perfect setup for my home screen because of this.
Swipe up - brings up the app drawer
Swipe down - brings down the notifications
Home button press while on the homescreen - brings up voice search
Any idea how to change the colour of the battery icon in the status bar using the Notification Toggle app? I want to change it to ics blue.

+1 on this. What's worse is they'll give the option for no icon, but then it just leave a blank spot in the notification bar.............
That's a limitation of Android, so until Google offers a better way, that's how it has to be.

I'm curious to know what you'd change in the latest version of Samsung's TouchWiz UI for the Note 2. If you could design the next version, what would you add, remove, or tweak? I'm curious to see what the fans, and non-fans, would change.
For me, I would definitely want more functionality from the lock screen in the next revision. Having 5.5' of real screen estate means a lot of space for us to add extra info such as email/message content, info of last dialled/received call, more access to favourite apps, etc. I'd also like to be able to pull down the notification centre in the lock screen and be able to access the relevant notification from there. Lastly, I think the stock icons could go for a revision to give a more high-tech futuristic feel instead of the much cartoonish appearance it has now.
I'd make it look like Apex and just as customizable!
Done.
I would like a 5x5 or 4x5 grid size on the home screen,
Auto correct on the keyboard,
Resizable widgets (like we had on touchwiz 4.0),
Better Facebook integration,
And a few more s pen features
Cheers
Corey

I know I've probably said this before in another thread, but I really think that TouchWiz (and I mean the whole framework, not just the home launcher) on the Note 2 should be, and should have been from the get go, a hybrid ROM with PAD and PAL (per-app density and per-app layout) options baked right in. I mean, let's face it, some UI layouts of certain apps are just simply better and easier to use than others. YouTube and Gmail, for examples, are simply better experiences in a tablet layout.
Another thing that would have been nice to have would be capacitive buttons that respond to the SPen, instead of having to use gestures (just a minor niggle though).
Hello,
I would love to see a scrollable favorites contact widget with direct dial function (like HTC has.. )
I would lose the freaking gingerbread theme is all the Samsung phones....touchwiz and the whole framework is nice but looks totally dated to 3 years ago.

New UI for E-mail
The black UI on the e-mail is shocking. Can never read e-mails outside. THis should change to white, or atleast have the option to change to white.
I would make it able to lock in reverse portrait mode.

I agree. Tried several others, but Apex is easy to use and very customizable. If it were like this most would never look to change to another launcher.

They should get rid of that ridiculous amount space berween the dock and the app shortcuts. I know theres a mod but they should change that. And ofcourse incread grid size especially with the columns so we can add more folders or apps in a single row. Also add the ability to be able to add folders within the app drawer or at the least allow to reorganize the apps to our liking. Also it would be nice if we could have the option to choose the folder icon background.

I like the TW UI, it's a lot easier and simpler than other branded UI's. Just some things,
1- Bigger grid size options, I mean, up to 8x8.
2- Enabling custom icons.
3- Scrollable dock.
4- Re-sizable icons, including dock.
5- Vertical menu in App drawer (I am not talking about the list view)
6- Not a must, but it'd be cool if they could allow a custom background for App drawer. I kinda like it and miss it from bloated Go Ex.

I have cm10 with expanded desktop but I'm wondering if anyone has done a mod where a gesture will toggle the visibility of the soft keys. It's exactly what I, along with a ton of other people, are looking for. Hell, I'll pay someone to do it for us!!

What I think would be nice is if we could just get rid of the navbar and replace it with a gesture from the bottom edge to reveal the ring in my screenshot, except the nav controls will be on that ring
AFAIK GMD gesture control supports this. Not quite sure. Just try the lite version first.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
Few options are out there already.
GMD - You can set various swipes such as 45* up/left for back, up for home, etc, activated at the bottom.
App that I forget the name of but enables pie control in any app. You can set multiple layers as well as an inner and outer pie ring, but this can get a bit clustered. Realistically you can probably set all of your most used apps into the pie on various layers though and get rid of every shortcut.
Latest PA has a more feature rich but less customized pie. Battery bar, time, notifications, access notification panel, per-app color of pie, and more. However, unlike the app above you cannot add additional items into the pie, at least not yet.

LMT with PIE Control is IMHO the Name of the app. In the last version it includes also the swipe from the bottom like in Para...Rom (don't know the name of the rom right now). But it's not the same. A simple swipe from the bottom and it should show the orig. softkeys. That would be soooooo cool! I would never ever switch back and set the expanded desktop active
I have GMD installed and I was not able to hide only the soft keys.
The only option I found hides the soft keys AND the notification bar on the top of the phone, so valuable info like battery, signal strength etc are also hidden.
Any ideas to hide only the soft keys?

Not totally gesture but u must take a look at paranoid android PIE control. It's still in beta but it has a lot of potential.

Exactly what I was looking for
But how stable is paranoid android compared to CM10
My main issue is I haven't found a good way of hiding the softkeys. GMD closes the whole SystemUI so lose the top bar and app switcher, and the Fullscreen Toggle that a lot of people use removes the in-app menu button which is not ideal as I don't really want to have a gesture just to access the basic menu.
Is there a good way of doing this that I've missed?

I'm running it from day 1 (got my N4 since half December) and it's perfectly stable. I always wait a little while before updating and follow the tread to be sure there are no great bugs. If everything's ok then I'll update to a newer version. The PIE option is really Beta so there will be some bugs.
I think u just must try it, paranoid android is really a original and renewing ROM. Not just because the pie, but also the hybrid, per app color and dpi option.
It's just as stable, if not more stable then cm10.1 The rom is based on AOSP so should be as stable as the original one.

Thanks for the suggestions folks. I downloaded GMD pro and so far it's pretty cool. That PIE mod looks amazing. Any way someone can rip it and make it work with any ROM? If not, I might have to bite the bullet and just flash the ROM.

another option might be the Hide Bottom Bar app from the play store.
Although the rom is still in beta and new features will be added soon, here are some things that would make it perfect(I hope the Devs see this):
1. Screen record and screenshot options in quick settings or power menu.
2. Download speed in status bar.
3. Cyanogen Mod 10 style GPS quick settings tile that doesn't ask for location consent every time (saw this in gravitybox)
4. Camera tile in quick settings.
5. Clear all button in recent apps.
This feature list is not too farfetched and I hope that the Devs read this thread and bring these features to the ROM.

Official statement: Two of the most requested features are the "clear all" in recents apps and the DPI changer in settings. This is our comment about these requests:
- We won't implement the clear all button because killing all apps is generally unnecessary and might even be bad for the overall performance. You can read more about it here: http://slimroms.net/index.php/faq/slimbean/238-why-do-i-have-less-memory-free-on-my-device

Blurred lockscreen would be awesome!
Just tried SlimKat RC1, and it runs really smooth. 1 question though:
Will all features from SlimBean eventually get ported over? Like Battery Bar, Dual Pane Settings, Advanced reboot etc?
Thanks
Clear All button
Yes, I've also grown accustomed to the Clear All button, and miss it in SlimKat.
However, I acknowledge this is yet another remnant of an ancient time when Android had rather crappy memory management, so closing apps manually was a must.
Ever since 4.0, memory management has improved a lot, making the habit of closing apps manually unnecessary.
Closing apps manually also wastes more battery.
EDIT: To see Android doing its thing, pay attention when you play memory-hungry games (I play RR3). Sometimes during the race, when you hit Home and open another app, you can jump back into the game right where you were. Sometimes the game is restarted from the blue EA screen.

What's really funny is that crApple is getting credit for the Heads Up notification style that's been in Android for over a year.
Sent from my VS985 4G
Wait for Android L for notifications on the lockscreen. Have tried the Android L dev preview on my Nexus 7 and it is a great feature to have.
For actionable notifications however, there is a headsup notification feature like the poster above me said. You can use an app called HeadsUp to achieve that affect. Another app called Floatifications displays the notifications in a bubble style thing like Facebook Messenger chat heads. You can give it a try if that is your sort of thing.
If you really want notifications on your lockscreen though, try adding a widget to your lockscreen which displays the current notification. Or try DashClock for a similar sort of effect.

The Notifications in Android are usually actionable. The lock-screen ones are something to look forward in Android L.
