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:

If only I liked AOKP. *sigh*

Thanks for the recommendations, shall have to try these, because besides themes, the notification pulldown with a plethora of settings to play with are what I miss most from MIUI builds on the HD2.

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.

Hide soft keys like Huawei Ascend Mate

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.
I think u would like it.... Here are some examples...

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.

That's because it's trigged by the expanded desktop.....
Remember it's a beta. Development is going very fast and I'm sure they will find a great solution for that.

Paranoid Android ROM has a new mod called "pie". Its exactly what you're looking for. You can use an app called Smart statusbar and it works beautifully with PIE.

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.

Can you add more panels to Touchwiz?

I'm used to having way more panels than this phone ships with. Is there a way to add more?

Yes you can! I also wanted to add more panels so that I could organize my Touchwiz app drawer. I was surprised that it isn't documented anywhere and I don't consider it to be highly intuitive.
1. From the homescreen menu, click on the app drawer.
2. Click on the 'menu' soft key to the left of the home button
3. Select Edit (to modify app drawer)
4. Now, press and hold on any app/icon in order to move it. You know you can move its location within the same panel by dragging it. BUT while you are dragging it, notice that 4 new icons appear at the TOP of the screen. Drag the app/icon onto one of these new icons in order to:
-add the app/icon to a newly created folder
-add the app/icon to a newly created panel
-get app info
-uninstall the app
(before I noticed this, I 'tricked it' into adding a new panel by moving icons to the last panel and filling it up. Since Touchwiz adds app icons after the last one installed, I got it to create a new panel for newly installed app)

Or you can pinch on the home screen and it will give you all windows in your screen, you can add them and move them around there.

Make shift paranoid android

I really like the idea of some of the features from paranoid android. halo, pie, and extended desktop are the 3 features I wanted to use most on a daily bases. The problem for myself was that on the ports gps didn't work neither did wifi AP or samsungs smart dock which i use daily, not only that but Samsungs rom and kernel are more programmed for the phone itself as apposed to an aosp rom(which means better performance or so i'm told). So what i have done is used a few apps to replicate the features I want from paranoid android on my Touchwiz rom(cleanrom 4.7).
1. halo: To get this feature I used an app called floating notifications. It's not as feature rich as halo but it can display the text of my notifications like sms and gmail and I can click on them to open the app.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2263987&nocache=1&z=4138043767306953
2. Pie: I used lmt launcher, I assume most people are familiure with it by now. If not check out the link below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330150
3. extended desktop: This one is a little tricky, i used hide bar by good mood droid (GMD). This doesn't just hide the bar it shutdowns that process making it unusable. Plus resents must be tied into that process because I can't use that either. To help not being able to access the toggles and other info in my notification shade I used an app called glovebox, which is a side bar app. I put some widgets in it for weather and toggles for easy access. Losing the ability to use resents isn't that bad I can deal with it but I use next and previous app in lmt launcher to help
get around.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5nbWQuaGlkZWJhciJd
So what does everyone think?
*I would like to thank all of the developers of these various apps. The flexibility of android is what makes it great.

I dunno about #2 but the first couple would be best solved with a new rom. Flash clean rom 4.9

Changing dock icons on TouchWiz

Well I would really like to change the icons on my tablet but whenever I go edit to move the icons around there is no option to change the docked ones. I have been using apex/nova launcher but find this slows the device down slightly. Anybody know how to change them without a launcher???
Cheers guys

If you want to just change the apps that are in the dock all you have to do is hold and drag them to the desktop or trash bin. To add apps to the dock just add shortcut to any screen then hold and drag it to the dock. Changing icons is more complicated because of the lack of built in icon theme support in TW. Not sure you can at this time without being able to use xposed + icon packager or something similar and/or doing manually which is time consuming.

This doesn't work. Holding the icons do not do anything. I can only tap on it to open the app.
And the approach use on galaxy note ii etc by changing to customisable grid in app drawer doesn't work either as dock disappears in app drawer.

Samsung has disabled the ability to change the dock icons for some countries, e.g. stock Australian ROMs. This may have been a result of local legal challenges by Apple. Options are to use another launcher, like Nova Prime, or root the tablet and edit a file to restore the ability to edit dock icons.

Sure, it's /system/csc/others.xml. Find the line <CscFeature_Launcher_ReplaceHotseatAreaInEditMode> and change the value from TRUE to FALSE. Then save and reboot. After that, you can edit your dock.
