Having owned my EVO since November of last year, one of the mods/apps on my phone that has been with every ROM is JsChiSurf's power control notification bar. It is THE most useful and crucial apps I have on my phone. Although I know there are other 'widgets' on the market that "sort of" replicate it, JsChiSurf's mod is the only one that allows you to have access to any of the power controls you frequently need from any screen quickly and easily, whereas, with most power control widgets, you have to go back to the screen where the widgets are located.

My Photon is arriving today and since it doesn't appear JsChiSurf made the jump to the Photon, it's the one mod that I'm going to truly miss. Because of that, I was wondering if any of you talented developers out there knows how to port this mod to the Photon? I'm willing to pay a bounty ($20, via Paypal) to anyone who can do it.

I agree. This has always been a great feature on past rooted phones. This type of mod is also included in CM7 and is better because you can change them on the fly without flashing and can have more than 6. Either way, would be nice to have.
I'm still waiting myself

If I get some free time (depends on my stress test results tomorrow) I will work on this. I think this would be handy to have as well.

In the meantime, might try using Notification Toggle from the Market. Haven't tried it myself but looks promising.

Brother (or sister if you're female), thank you for pointing me in the direction of that app. I just installed it and it looks like the concept was modeled on JsChiSurf's notification bar (and considering the developer was from XDA, I wouldn't doubt it).
I just installed it on my Photon and it seems to work the same way. In fact, it's a bit more user friendly in that it allows you to select which toggles you want on the notification bar from a menu selection, rather than editing a text file. And although I haven't tested ALL the functions yet, so far, most are working on my Photon. I now have room again on my homescreen (temporarily had widgets installed) and can now access those functions from any screen.
Again, thank you very much! I guess I need to pull my head out of my *ss once in a while and take a look at what's new on the Market.
Try Widgetsoid from the market. It has the option to put the widgets in your pulldown. Works great

I tried this for a while. It's nice, but the Photon doesn't support the all-in-one notification, so each control takes a notification slot. It's nice, but I'm still holding out for Power Control Notification.

Didn't even know those apps existed...
Question for you about Widgetsoid. I installed it on my notification bar but can't figure out how to change to icon and background colors. Right now, both are white and it makes it hard to see.
UPDATE: NM - figured it out.

Ok yesterday I installed about 6 roms we have for the i717 that are somewhat new(4.1.2)
The roms i'm looking for i want them to show the H, H+, 3g like King Kang oct-17 rom. I also prefer the settings layout kinda small and everything on one page, I guess that's ICS's settings layout where it has the Rom settings, Paranoid settings. Right now I'm on the Super stock Oxeded rom(looks the same as stock to me) Although it has the 4g icon but you can't tell if you're on 3g as for me i've been seing 4g icon all day but when I was on King Kang rom it bounces from 3g, H, then stays on H+.....
Here are the roms i've X out as not for me:
1.King Kang. Love the signal icons, love the settings UI. BUT yesterday the lockscreen pin was so buggy, when I would press a button it would input the wrong numbers. So i couldn't get into my phone I had to just install a diff rom, This rom also makes my screen flash, at one point i couldnt make calls or recieve calls(I'm on straight talk, might been a APN issue)
2. Quincyatt oct24-12 rom. Doesn't show any signal icons. other than that it was ok.
3.collective rom. I just didn't like the theme of the rom. I'm not a fan of custom icons and all that other fancy mess of changing names of some settings you are looking for.
4. Black Star rom. doesn't show any signal icons. no paranoid settings. It's a cool black n white settings but everywhere you look you see "BlackStar" it's even in the notification bar.
5. GovCheez rom. Doesn't show the signal icons. I like the setup on this rom.
6.cookie and cream rom. no signal icons. has paranoid settings so that's good. not a fan of the bootup animation either.
To me it seems like you may want to learn how to theme a Rom and make a theme to your liking. That or learn how to make a Rom with the features that you want.
What kind of signal icon u trying to see?
sent from the cheeziest note in the south!!!
I recommend using cyangen mod 9 or higher

Im currently on Black★STAR ix and i get 3g,H,H+,etc icons for signal. If you would take the time to read the OP and through the thread you would also realize that there are flashable themes for stock and so on. Plus now there is the OTA feature through the settings menu. Just take your time and read and don't forget "search" is our friend

My galaxy note is my best friend
Seems you need a new friend. Really all the post provided to you seem good to go, sounds like you want something cosmetic, there are threads for this type of mod you want to have and or displayed. Sure that is part of the want of a ROM, me I want stability and something that can handle the stress I put my device thru...how it looks well I will take those mentioned over looks any day just me, hope you find what you are looking for, thanks.
If you like Alliance and have a locked bootloader like me, do this to get at least some of the look and feel.
It took while to figure out how to get some of the fetures that both the Aliance build 25 and the blacked out theme of Trents awsome rom combined had i them onto my phone without having to download the roms. Since I am one of the unlucky ones that lost my unlocked status when my phone updated.
I like the feature of being able to put a custom backgroud on my dropdown for my notification drawer and found that if you install gravity box you can do the same thing, or close to it. This module is one of three that will give you some really custom ro looks without having toflash a custom rom.
The other one is Wanam. This module will give you some more customizations to your status bar and notifications bar.
And the last but not least is HKThemer. I used the theme called: Mixerics, these themes can be found if you do a search for HK themes on google and follow the links in the XDA thread that google search will find for you. This is the theme thaat is the closest one to the way Trents rom looks with the blacked out google play store and a lot ofother blacked out apps.its really an awsom theme if you like the look of trents rom.
You willhave to instal Xposed innstaller on you phone and you have to have root for thaat too but this is all very easy to do.
I am going to post a couple of screen shots showing google now blacked out and the playstore blacked out along with home screen and notification dropdown . I hope this helpssomeone else out who is stuck in the land of unflashing which sucks. Well i am not permited to upload the screenshots so if you ask me forthem I will be happy to send them to you.

Heyyy,
I'm thinking about flashing this with safestrap on NC5 but I have never really heard much about it. May people running this rom on safestrap tell me if it is totally stable with safestrap? Because it seems like it was not built for safestrap.
Here is the download link http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358541454. I think it is different from this post because googlie may have altered this one

I'm running it and it is mostly stable. It has a few things that don't work
1) The signal bar doesn't display signal strength. The bars are shaded gray but you're getting reception when it says you're not. It does say 4G, 3G, 1X, etc.
2) Dialer crashes from the very beginning. It sometimes works, but most of the time, you'll get the "Unfortunately, dialer has stopped working," error message. I installed Swipedialer Pro to use as my primary dialer. It has an authentic AOSP feel and look.
3) Tethering isn't working for some reason.
4) When you first long-press the power button to bring up the power menu, you'll notice that the phone just reboots! To fix, go to the ROM Customizer app, then go to ROM Settings> System/ Kernel Mods> Powermenu Toggles and enable all the toggles. (GravityBox can also interfere with the power menu for some reason, so I disabled it just to avoid any issues).
5) The Gmail app that comes with the ROM FC's every time. You have to delete Gmail from the /system/app folder with something like Root Explorer, and reboot. Then install Gmail from the Playstore.
6) Sounds settings FC every time. However, you can still change ringtones through call settings. Not really a big issue for me.
I know that sounds like a lot, but other than this, it's actually one of the BEST Roms for the S4. It's actually my daily driver and it's the only rom I've used that is closest to the AOSP feel and look for our phone (I HATE Touchwiz!!!) Lol.

Yes, GDux 2.0 is what I'm running though there is a 2.1 now. I did the slim I believe. It's there highlighted in blue text. Kind of hidden within his words instead of by itself. I'm running it right now. If you want it themed a little differently I have a zip that has everything I like in it. Toggle icons, wifi, data, and various misc. ones. The 2.0 version has round lighted toggles and the icons I like fit right in the middle of those. Looks pretty neat and it enables all toggles as well. I think you need to add a browser and maybe email. I like to put them in the rom before installing because it makes life easier.

Is there a link somewhere for the 2.1 version and is it confirmed working on Verizon?
How is the battery life? I've been most disappointed in all the 4.4.2 KitKat Roms I've tried along with Surges Base rom with the Android System & Android OS taking away a day of battery and an hour of screen time as opposed to 4.3 & Roms.

I don't think any of them can equal or beat a 4.3 but GDux is worth trying and yes I've installed it as well but I just prefer 2.0. You should be able to get it from here. They all have little quirks.

I have never used xposed but want to try it so i dont have to flash a new rom. Im just worried that i might get stuck in a boot loop and with no custom recovery yet i wont be able to fix it. Should i just wait for bootloader unlock or should i be fine. I have 4 kid and cant lose access to my phone in case of emergencies.
Edit**** i have installed xposed and so far everything i have tries in g3 tweakbox and gravity box has caused no problems.

What settings have you experimented with (successfully)? I'm interested in installing the module, but I've had a lot of times in the past (with other phones) where I've gotten in a boot loop, which required me to disable xposed from recovery. That would be very difficult to fix without a custom recovery, so I'm torn on whether or not to install it. Not sure how long a custom recovery is going to take.
I don't mean to be the voice of unsound reason, but I think the concerns are overstated.
Use TB to backup your apps and the associated data/meta data.
If you jack your phone up you can use the factory recovery and restore from the readily available factory roms.
If you jack your phone up so bad that you cant get into recovery... you probably shouldn't be doing anything you find on this site.

This actually happened to me. I TiBued everything then tried to change the build.prop. Bootlooped, and I was stuck without a phone overnight until I saw the post over in the back to stock thread on how to get it back working (Sprint is a slightly different procedure). That said, I'm back to where I was without much lost.
I've been running xposed since root was released a couple days ago. If I have to question myself at all about a module, or a setting in a module working properly, I don't use it.

Has anyone used G3 Tweaksbox to chang the status bar icons with success? So far, I've been able to modify the clock, battery icon, hide some status bar icons, change the behavior of the home button, disable the charging notifications, and hide some navigation bar items, all without an issue. But I'd love to replace the signal icons with something more reasonable. Sprint's LTE/3G icons are such a waste of space. I assume that the status bar icon pack would change those, but I haven't tried.
I'm very tentative with the changes, because I must've borked my S4 5 or 6 times modifying stuff with the tweak module that was available for that. It wasn't a big deal then, because I could just flash the disabler, or restore to a nandroid backup. We obviously don't have that luxury yet. I'm sorry if this comes off as "drama" to some, but I'm just trying to avoid having to flash it back to stock if I can.
I'm using xposed with gravity box & xblast tools. Changed the status bar icons, color, & could only change navbar size. Can only go so small before it distorts but you can see it as you slide the size slider.
Almost forgot, & for whatever reason I can't edit post but, I also tried using the 3 dot menu, don't try, totally lost navbar. I panicked for a couple seconds but just went to settings/apps/all & uninstalled 3 dot menu right from there, rebooted & all was good.

The sprint specific stuff is where I personally would err on the side of caution as well. I'm very happy that it turned out well for those who changed those icons. A list of settings that are confirmed working on the sprint variant would be nice for other forum members to have in the OP.
I can confirm that "enable status bar sliding" in g3 tweaksbox works. Just be sure to uncheck automatic brightness under display in settings.
