[Q] AllianceRom - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hello. After upgrading from Beans v22, I have questions about config options in AllianceRom, but I'm not able to post in those threads.
1 - The text, numbers and symbols (such as battery icon) in the status bar are a little bit dim for me and I'd like to make 'em easier to read. In Statusbar Options I downloaded a plain black image and set that to background. I don't see a setting in that section for changing the font. It's currently grayish. I guess I'd like to make it bright white to improve contrast. I can't see any effect from playing with the alpha slider in Statusbar Options.
2- Related to the above, I used that same plain black image to background the notification panel to block out the underlying pages and text. (Btw, I wish both the statusbar and notifications panel options included a colorpicker rather than only image-based wallpaper)).
Like the Statusbar section, I admit I can't tell what effect the wallpaper alpha slider is having.
What I'd like to be able to do with the Notification panel is get it more Beans 22-like so it's a one-step process to get to the toggles. In Beans they were waiting for use as soon as I slid down the panel. Default setup in v.24 is a two step process: lower the panel, and then press the icon to display the toggles.
3- Speaking of the toggles, could you point me to the settings area where I can remove/change the toggle choices? I'd like to slim it down to about 10 things I'd use most often.
4- While I'm mentioning toggles, I noticed that longpressing the WiFi Hotspot toggle takes me to the USB/BT Tether screen rather than the Mobile Hotspot config/allowed devices screen. Is there somewhere I can change what happens on a longpress? (Wow I'm a pain in the butt.)
5- Dropbox. I love Dropbox the service, but not the official Dropbox app. I prefer to access it from the cloud section of ES Explorer because I can browse without syncing and just pull over the files I want. In Alliance I don't seem to be able to uninstall the Dropbox app. Rather than freeze/turn off, I'd just as soon dump it. Is that possible?
Thanks so much!

[app] Notification Toggle; power controls & more

I've been looking for a way to have power controls in the notification (slide/pull down thingy?) the SGS2 way.
An app, free on gplay, called Notification Toggle, NT, by a dev J4velin did the trick; I am using it and it's great.
Not only does it let you select from a variety of toggles, but it also offers to include shortcuts up there. Some toggles (Gps) require that you set it as a system app, thus require root, but most of the power controls don't. And you can also customize the toggle icons and such.
Naturally, it has to be running in the background and it's got a footprint of 8+ mb.
I notice some devs on this forum have come up with a flashable mod for that as well. But as I think it's only for deodexed ROMs. Anyways, it's always nice to have more options.
in my opinion widgetsoid its perfect - but pooup is terrible;/
so i us for few weeks notification toggle and icons from widgetsoid
It sounds like this, which we already have:

edit: re-read and understood that OP is trying to introduce this app that works the same way without flashing.

How do you change the icons to use the widgetsoid icons?
HP Touchpad CM9
i unpack widgetsoid apk by winrar - icons are inside app
you change icons with notification toogles - its there ICONS & COLORS - you must tap for icons and select from phone gallery
Awesome find!

Notification Toggle give me only 2 toggles, is there a way to select more options?
Or is this only via the payed app?
think I know what you mean
When you go to the next view in the app, the one titled Notifications, tick the "1st notification" and then LONG PRESS on it. This will allow you to SELECt the TOGGLES that the FIRST ARRAY OF Buttons in the NOTIFICATION tray will host.
I hope that helped
Merci!

CHANGE ur STATUS bar

got bored with old type status bar
A custom status bar that goes where you go, done WP7 style!
StatusBar+ is the FIRST custom status/ notification bar for Android, no root or custom ROM required!
It works in any orientation and appears consistently for ANY and ALL applications. In full screen applications it automatically hides and in some applications like ZPlayer it becomes transparent for seamless integration.
In order for StatusBar+ to handle third-party notifications it MUST be enabled in System Settings > Accessibility and NOT in the app itself1
StatusBar+ is more than just a custom status bar. It comes bundled with its own MIUI-style battery bar, the ability to change any and all indicators to any color your heart desires, features for users with AMOLED screens to avoid pixel burn-in, popup notifications, and much more.:good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good:

Any way to add items to the ntification drop down menu?

I've noticed from screenshots and videos that not all GN2s have the same options on the drop down menu. Is there any way to add items to the bar? I noticed on one particular video that the wifi icon is where the bluetooth is on my phone.
Most of the custom ROMs offer this. Samsung/Verizon made some strange choices as to what was available as a toggle on stock touchwiz (and VZW added that annoying ongoing wifi notification). I use Beans ROM which allows you to display up to any 7 of 23 toggles including wifi, wifi hotspot, etc. and choose their order of appearance.

perfect idea!I am sarching about 2 years to find a stealth module for facebook..on iphone there is the perfect stealth mode called silentmessenger..I mainly want to hide this stupid timestamp (active now,active before X minutes etc).
You can forget most of those. Cydia tried to release something for android but it failed badly.
Homescreen settings, notification bar brightness, animation speed.
You will be hard pressed to find anyone willing to port most iPhone things to android
why she failed dude?my biggest inquiry is why android programmers just care about stupid graphs,colours and battery life.and NO for our privacy!I know that there are some like LBE security master,xprivacy etc...but in our days facebook and messenger is the No 1 privacy undertaker!and there are more iphone mods..like bluepill,facebook++ and some others!My inquiry isevs don't care for such facebook privacy mods?Or such facebook mods can't be created on android OS platform???
Because everything apple will fail on Android. People just are not interested. Also we already have things like xposed.
Also most android devs use Google plus and not Facebook. It is widely known as the social network for old people, kids and drama Queens.
The things I listed already come pre-built into 99% of roms. There is almost no need for things like these mods when you can change the source code for the os
Ok catch you.at least i hope one day IF someone dev will be willy to make such a facebook module,to be able to make it through xposed..

GravityBox Lockscreen Tweaks Update Suggestions Requests Please! Thank You!

Hi!
I am using GravityBox with Xposed installed on my "Vernee Apollo" phone (the 2K version not the "Lite" version) which runs Android 6.0. The phone has full root.
Using GravityBox with Android 6.0 you have to realize that I don't know what exact and complete functions have GravityBox on its upper versions for later android versions, so I have to ask for developers for a few upgrades for the "Lockscreen Tweaks" section if I may, based on "GravityBox [MM]" only, please! Thank you for your understanding!
To get to the point here, below are the functions/settings I would like to see for the next releases of GravityBox:
1. Add More shortcuts than the 7 standard ones. Maybe we need to have 8, 10, 15 shortcuts on the lockscreen window, displayed on 2-3 rows. I am referring to these particular standard icons and not the "Pie controls" and/or "Application launcher" (I am not using these two sections/functions at all).
2. Add an option to make these 7 icons for these 7 shortcuts to be visible or unvisible/hidden on the lockscreen window. What I mean is the icons to become visible only when a notification arrives and after I see that linked notification, that (those) icon(s) to become hidden again. In this way we would have a clear lockscreen, only with the clock and/or date.
3. Upgrade the standard (stock) icons for the added 7 icons on the lockscreen (those stock white ones) , with updated icons! For instance, the icon for "Messenger" (from Facebook) app is not present in the stock white icons list and I have to use the "Hangouts" (Google) icon for it. You might consider to add (update the stock white integrated list icons) with more relevant icons for representative world wide known applications (like "Messenger" and so on).
4. Add the posibility to move down this 7 standard/stock white icons row on the lockscreen window, anywhere we want on the screen, between hour/date and unlock key icon from the bottom. In this way we can organize the lockscreen visual appearence as we please.
5. Add a function to add a PIN code for locking the screen directly from GravitBox (maybe a home screen shortcut for this function too) and not to use android stock security settings for that.
Thank you for your time and I hope you will add these functions/settings soon!
Have a wonderful life!
