Anyone working on this yet?

Really - these handy pull down toggles (on/off's for wifi, bluetooth etc) have been on every ver of Android since 2.0. Until now - who's brilliant idea was it to remove these?

Toggles in the notification bar have only ever been an OEM add-on, they are not part of stock Android/AOSP.
That said, it's definitely one of the most obvious missing features vs. the RAZR's contemporaries from HTC and Samsung.
My wife's new Pantech Breakout has some nice notification toggles stock! I'd love for something like that for my Razr!

yea, I miss those too. hopefully ICS has something like that in it whenever that comes out.
Available in the Market as always for example via Widgetsoid.
How many times will I have to say that for people to understan, unbelievable.

Well it doesn't work very well maybe that's why...It doesn't work with either of my Motorola phones w/o the popup - and the popup defeats the purpose imo.
Perhaps it works better on other devices idk...
Additionally, a lot of the toggles don't even work...it looks real nice and seems to be very configurable but just doesn't work for me.
Add the Toggleower Contorl widget to have some toggles.
Notification Toggle is working on my RAZR with a few minor glitches and enables customized pull-down toggles. This is a great workaround until ICS.

Try MySettings, works like a charm
Shady's rom has toggles and Im now working on them for my rom also
Widgetsoid seems like a great app with a lot of potential and nice customization features, but on the Razr you can't toggle directly from the notification bar with it. Instead clicking on the toggle icon will popup another window to toggle the setting on or off. That and I haven't been able to change the colors of the toggles in the dropdown so that it's readable.
Notification toggle is the closest I've found. Each toggle takes up a line but you can actually turn the item on or off straight from the dropdown.

Click the Widgetsoid icon, at the bottom of the screen press the notification icon then tick the Use custom style box. Scroll down and you can change the colours

I just wondering if you anyone know how to add power Widget to Pull down Notification like you see CyanogenMod or touch wiz with galaxy?
I am rooted but not running any rom on my photon...
I've went round and round trying to find an app or mod that does this best. I ended up settling with an app called power control plus. The options arnt truly embedded into taskbar, but instead is just a constantly appearing notification widget in your drop down. It is a paid app, and the 4g toggle currently doesnt work for the photon but hey, it does the job and is pretty well customizable.
I've been using Notification Toggle from the Market which is made by one here on XDA. Has worked pretty good for me. Can even add a shortcut for apps, change icons, colors, etc.
Original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1037817
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!
I am looking for a app/hack/mod that makes the navbar fade in and out a certain color when your receive a msg or notification...
I think this would be a great mod or hack for most phones to get a fast glance what kind of notification you have also setup for different colors for different contacts in the phone.
I am not a dev by any means so I am not even sure if this is possible or not but I think it would be very useful.
Anyways let me know what you think or have any ideas where I can find something similar to this idea..
Thanks.
Well this phone doesn't have a navbar. . . but you can install Handcent SMS and have custom icons, tones, and vibrate patterns for individual contacts.
I'm not really sure that I'm understanding your idea properly, but it seems a lot less efficient than just looking at the notification bar, you can already see what notifications you've missed at quick glance and more than just one
think he means notification bar. i think thatd be dope for the bar to flash a certain color when something comes in.

yeah exactly... the bar itself will change so it would be faster than swiping down the notification bar ... specially when your driving ...
Great idea man. Would love to see this also

how can I do that? When it comes on the statusbar it looks terrible. I don't like that. I want it where yo can switch it like in these videos by pressing the icon.

can you describe what exactly is terrible? maybe with a screenshot?
and well halo is dead, I think there is no current ROM anymore which supports it and it was replaced by hover (if that is what you meant)
I mean this notification lists in my statusbar. That the quickstart option available in the statusbar that is what I mean.
what is hover? and how can I activate btw where can I download it?
Is there any way to make the notification bar always showing AND fully transparent? It seems like the options available only allow for one or the other.
I would like to know also. It would be a nice feature. Along with transparent nav bar

We tried this a few months ago, however it led to many crashes and bugs. The developers are trying hard to get it back though!
