Ive got two SGS2 phones one running the stock XXLPQ rom ( which has been rooted and had CWM installed ) and the other running the Omega_ICS_v4.0_ICS_XXLPH ROM.
I'm looking for a customizable 14 statusbar toggle buttons with QuickPanel Settings app type of deal that i can install via APK or even flash through CWM if possible.
I did look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1289896 but didnt know if I would have to mess around coding etc to get it to work
Im wondering if anyone has made a stand alone version of the status bar that is ion the omega version so I can install that on the Stock ROM phone along with Go Launcher EX.....I will be driving down to spain later this year and I want to use the stock phone with Sygic sat nav for stability as my main phone and the omega Rom'd phone as my media player plugged into the stereo in the car.
Just to clarify im looking for a status bar tweak / mod for the standard ICS 4.0.3 XXLPQ rom n
I know for a fact that FOXHOUND 0.5 is using the customizable 14 status bar tweak.

But whether or not you can get a standalone installer for it i'm not really sure.
Looks like you might need to follow lidroid's guide if you want it on your custom rom
Im not wanting it on my custom rom I would like to have it on the standard ICS 4.0.3 XXLPQ rom if possible
Ah, my apologies.
It would seem you would most certainly have to follow lidroid's guide.
Seems like a hand full of mucking around to do but if it is something you really want, then I guess it's worth it?
EDIT:
Just a quick look on the market place and I found this application: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.notificationToggle&hl=en
This could be exactly what you're after?
Hmm working phone v bricked phone.....knowing my luck ill wait until someone else who is more experienced than me is able to do something like this.
excellent thank you very much bud....ill give it a whirl when i get back home this afternoon.....top dude

So right now I'm running CM7.1 nightly, and I'm in love with it. I went to UnNamed for about 2 hours a week ago, and I couldn't deal with the lack of customization. Now, this is my first android phone in a while, so I was still learning the new apps and tricks.
Now I realize I can change the lock screen using WidgetLocker. The stock lock screen is the MAIN reason why I'm not on a stock rom such as S8. I've heard nothing but great things about Mikey, and I really want to try out his rom.
So now that I know I can change my lockscreen (from the tacky and rather stupid looking stock, to a more customizable sophisticated one) I just want to know a few things.
Flashing Themes. In CM7, it uses it's own Theme engine and I can download themes from the market and flash em via the Theme Chooser App. For these stock themes, I have to download from a dev thread on here, or is there a "database" of themes?
CM7 I can customize the status bar to display The Full carrier name, wifi signal strength in dB or bars, etc. Can I do that with stock roms? How about Battery Percentage? I read that the circle percentage app/mod didn't work with S8. Is that true?
Finally, How is the battery life in S8 compared to CM7?
Thanks for your help guys.
After flashing all over the place for the past few months, I opted to go back to the oldest nandroid I have, which is 2.3.4, UCKK6 and my kernel is 2.6.35.7_ZedomaxStockKernel. (I like most of the ROMs I've tried, but my game data would for some reason go missing, and it's quite a pain to start playing a game from scratch every 6 or 7 days - so I figured I'd get off ICS for a while).
It's all well and good and everything, but there are a few custom ROM features that I liked. For example: the 14-toggle menu, which allowed long-pressing on a particular toggle to go to the related settings menu. I also wouldn't mind ridding myself of the home button lag (that was fixed with that dreadful 2.3.6 OTA update). I don't use voice commands very often, since they often fail to do what I ask of them.
So anyway, can I flash mods through CWM like I can on a custom ROM? Can I flash different kernels and scripts safely? Some of the mods I've seen have only been developed for certain ROMs, if I remember correctly, so obviously I'll be unable to use those. If it comes down to it, I would be willing to flash a stock-based ROM, so long as the wifi doesn't murder my phone and/or it's not deodexed (I don't really care for theming and the phone seems smoother(?) when it's not deodexed).
Sounds like you would like Unnamed 1.3.2 It's based off of UCKH7. It looks exactly like stock and has the toggles you want in the dropdown window. I think there is a mod here that will take away the home button lag.
I am on Unnamed 2.2.1 that is based on UCKK6 but lot of people report the wifi drain bug with KK6. I somehow managed to not get that and it runs fine for me.
Hope you find what you are looking for.

This. +1 . Unnamed's older version is what I always flash back to for an awesome stock experience. Also I believe Serendipity was based on 2.3.4 as well but don't quote me on that its been a long time.

Hi all! now i understand that threads debating the 'Best' ROM, theme, app, mod or setting arent something XDA is fond of, but thats not the particular reason I'm here, I've looked through countless threads in the mod/theme section and I'm wondering if someone can help me find the best solution for me. I'm relatively technically minded and a half-decent IT worker but I will openly admit when it comes to development/flashing, I'm one to follow instructions to the letter to get what I need up and working, but never learn the deeper workings.
I've an unbranded i9300 which I've had flashed with CM 10/10.1 and have kept updating with nightlies, but now I seek to branch out and find a ROM that will allow me the super-stability, additional working features (Allshare Cast [in particular], NFC, multi-view) of the stock Samsung image. I've since flashed philz custom touch recovery, and then proceeded to flash Sotmax Jelly Bean Ultimate Stock V10 available here. Its provided all the features I want, working, a good kernel and some customizability but the cartoony, colourful Samsung visuals are the reason I flashed from stock in the first place.
Can anyone help me find anything I can add to my device to get me a stock 4.1.2 lock screen, dropdown/notifications, launcher and settings? Essentially as much of the UI from CM10.1 as possible. I flashed Domination 1.4.3 as it looked and seemed perfect - but didn't change the lockscreen, and i started noticing lots of lag when scrolling/opening apps instantly. Is it thoroughly incompatible with the ROM im looking to use, or have i done something wrong along the way?
If this is a noob thread i do apologize but these forums can be so cluttered and misorganized to someone unused to searching through them that it can be hard to find something - if you dont know exactly what it is you need.

So you want some features from Samsung stock rom (camera, NFC, default framework and drivers), but the look of original 4.1.2 (CM10)?
I want this too!

Thank you, i'll be checking those two out!
Ive since found the Null ROM here and it also seems to be exactly what we want/need from scratch, a mix of 4.1.2, Samsung Features, and a CM/AOKP look and feel. Still missing that lock screen though. Holo locker is the look that i desire - but it seems to lag when switching on, the normal homescreen displays for up to a second before it reverts to the lock. odd..
I use UltimaRom for same reason.
I wanted to use some of samsung apps but with look and feel of CM10.
And UltimaRom provides that. It also let me choose which samsung I want to keep and which I want to get rid of to keep my phone faster.
Ultima looks excellent! Thanks for the recommendation, nice boot loaders too and excellent file/mod support on his site

take a look at the null rom. Perfect for all your needs.
Hi all,
I only now use my X10 as my secondary phone - I use it when I go running to track my running stats with the GPS etc, so that if I drop it and break it, it's not a big deal!
For the last few months I've been using this AOSP 4.2.2 ROM on there:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2197387
I think this ROM is amazing, but it does have a tendency to slow down to a crawl when I am out and running my Endomondo running app.
So I have decided I want a Gingerbread ROM again, probably Feralabs, but there are some features in ICS/JB that I was wondering if had been ported across?
Specifically, I want to be able to add the custom message to the home screen. I like this feature, as I can put my name and phone number in there in case I do lose the phone and anyone finds it (obviously relying on the fact that they wish to return it to me!!)
Also, I want the WiFi icon in the toolbar to have the activity arrows. In GB ROMs I've used, it's always just a static icon.
Is there any Gingerbread ROM which has a launcher which supports these two functions?
Many thanks for any advice.
Alex
Bump....nothing??
Have both those features on my XPERIA S, but don't know of any XPERIA X10i GB ROM that has those features.... and I've tried a few.
Thanks for the reply
Likewise, I also have those features on the Xperia S, but in JellyBean.
The wifi one sounds silly, but I actually rely on the activity arrows a lot as my wifi plays up so often. Whereas in Gingerbread is just sits there with the icon and you have no idea if data is being sent or received.
The message on the homescreen feature I always use in ICS/JB, it's a shame it appears it cannot be done in GB ROMs.

Not that is can't be done, just that I don't know of any GB ROM that has it.
Check X10 themes and Apps posts, you never know your luck.
I have a phone running stock android 4.1.1 and I want it to look like any other (xperia, touchwiz, sense etc.) but I can't find what's needed I really want the status bar to look the same aswell as the launcher and stock apps, I can't use a rom.

Your best bet would be rooting, using the Xposed Framework and something like the HK Theme Manager or Xtheme Engine to make significant changes to the look of the system. These tools work well on most devices, but it can be hard to theme stock HTC roms as they have a very different theming structure vs most devices and generic theming tools can only go so far. Other than that, best you could do without a rom (or root) would be a different launcher that either hides the status bar or comes with it's own (have only seen an iPhone looking launcher with that function) or hide the status bar and figure out how to make something like Zooper Widget to help create your own little section at the top for the clock and battery status - though this stuff would only work on the home screen.
If you REALLY want to change stuff, the best option is a rom and there's really not much getting around it without compromises.
