Does anyone know if it will be possible to have toggles for wifi/bt/gps/silent/data in the notification drop down like other phones have?
You can download Widgetsoid and when you make a Widget it will give you the option of adding it to the notification bar.
When it's there, though, and you click on something it will open a new little popup window to press the buttons..kinda weird, dunno why it does that.
You need this ------>
Extended Controls

This prevents notification bar widgets from directly controlling phone functions then? So it's safe to assume Extended Controls would do the same?

i don't think that does what the OP wants, which is toggles within the notification bar (ala Samsung phones).
as far as i've seen, we can only have the clickable pop-up widget version that was described above.
This has come up before..
This is good as your gonna get Notification Toggle
I use BATTERY GAUGE. it has a drop down menu when activated and shoes me battery percent. A must have app IMO

Yeah I guess I was spoiled with my samsung (before this thread I was not aware this was a samsung only feature). I really miss this feature... wish it came standard on all androids. The closest one to what I want is notification toggle, but it's still more clicks to what I want.
widgetsoid is closet that I can get,I too hate how we have to do at least two clicks instead of one like on CM7. But at least it's close and looks clean

Yea it kinda sucks. You still have to use the widget, so the drop down notification is useless. In my opinion. I had a infuse 4g for 1 day and that was the only feature I liked on the phone..

No you don't need to use widget, set to invisible.
Ok tried everything you mentioned. The app doesnt like my ATRIX..
Widget appears if I tap on a toggle
Toggles in notify bar are PINk! And cannot change the color.

Like many of you guys, I really appreciate the benefits of a nice big clock widget. And I find the time on the application bar to be very redundant. I would like to see an option for that to be disabled in any of the newer upcoming roms. It will save precious space

It would be great if the time display in the menu bar could be dynamic. When in an app have it display, when on the home screen, have it hidden.
What power widget is that? Definitely more useful than the android one.
I got the gauge battery and the switch pro widget. Highly recommend it. There are many different configurations.

it's fairly straight forward to remove yourself if you like. If you check this thread; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780614 There's a walkthrough. But be aware on the SGS the line item numbers for the clock and alarm are different than what he shows in that thread.

Coming from the Captivate, there is one main thing that I miss. The status bar buttons. I know there are apps for this, but none act exactly how the Captivate did.
I've used a few apps, but they just aren't perfect. Is there a way to have these Captivate buttons from the status bar ported to the Atrix, or an app that does EXACTLY that?

I actually miss those from Cyanogen. There they were called Notification Power Widget. I have not found anything that can do it yet..
i would love to see that status bar on the atrix, its one of the few things that i miss from my captivate.
If you have power control plus, you can put a toggle bar in the notification tray!

I took a look at it and although it does put it in the notification bar its not a one click type deal. You hit it then it opens a new window for you to toggle in.

I have found this app work for what you are wanting to do. it wont pull down like a notification but you can make it better than that.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jim2
I have a whole separate page on my atrix with memory/battery/space information and then all of my widget switches
Another solution is using the app "mysettings" - It doesn't have
control from notification but you can assign long click on search button to open it then you can control all the features you had with your captivate from anywhere - even when I owned a cappy I used this app instead notification menu since that was faster.
quick settings
I had used my.settings for a while and found quick settings to be a bit better
Hi there guys,

- I think , it's impossible if you want to add Music widget / controller to "multi-tasking menu"
- If you want music widget / controller add to "notification bar" , u need android 4.0 ics library to make it possible.
I'm almost 100% sure Sony would add this in 4.0 update. Samsung has done it with even their gingerbread roms, just need someone with the skills to do it. But I can wait.
Nothing is impossible.
Look the iphone
Hmm then we must wait and hope!

yes, nothing is impossible, just dig in inside play store and look for widgetsoid,
once u downloaded it, open it and check Play/Pause,Previous and Next on sound tab, then go to advanced tab, check on Notification and Widget Invisible, plus u can customize the look of your notification widget on theme tab.
ps - for some reason (i dont know) the widget will not play/pause, next or previous, but once u hit the button, a popup will appear in order to response.
a
here is mine. Sorry for the screenshot (not yet root)
i think it is possible also with GB libs...
i remember Samsung did that also in Eclair roms...
you should modify SystemUI.apk and framework.jar, the same way it has been modified for adding "notification toggles", calling the fw methods called by the widget...
You should be root of course to do that...

Carrier ID seems to show only on the lockscreen, and when notifications are pulled down.
It's not that obtrusive, IMO, but it's something AOSP roms can change.

FYI... I don't have my SGSIII yet, so I'm basing this entire response on my knowledge of ICS in general, not TouchWiz
Are you talking about some kind of carrier name in the notification bar or in the notification pull-down?
If you're talking about the pull-down menu, it may not actually "take up valuable space for actual notifications" if it works like the carrier name in stock ICS works... On stock, it shows up at the bottom of the pull-down, but you can see as you pull it down, that it actually appears behind the notifications themselves. So if TouchWiz works this way, you have nothing to worry about.
If you're talking about the notification bar, then I don't know what you mean, since I don't have mine yet. If this is what you mean, I obviously cant help you, but I'd still be interested in seeing a picture of what youre talking about. I don't see anything like that in the pictures from engadget's reviews...

Oh I see, so it shows up in the notification bar when the pull down the menu is activated
In that case, Samsung just moved it from the bottom of the pull-down to the notification bar itself. It doesn't seem like it should be a problem though, since you can see all of the notifications in greater detail at that point anyway. You don't need to see the little icons anymore when you can see the notifications themselves. No?

No, AT&T has a deal with their phones that their carrier name be in the notification bar. This is the same for the Galaxy S2, Skyrocket, and any other phones on AT&T. You can't get rid of it unless you obviously flash a custom ROM that disables it or an AOSP ROM.

I'll be damned. Your right, that widget doesn't take you to the clock. Just about every other clock on the market does though when you click on the time. And weather if you click on it etc...
I use a widget like "One More Clock Widget" which allows you to set it to open any app depending on where you click.
Here is one of the skins that comes with it.
