I use yahoo to keep in touch with local friends relatives. The new yahoo messenger app with the video add on works awesome.I have used it 10 or so times a few over 3g.

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] t3ej4y:
Hi,

Seeing as the notification status bar widgets/toggles were popular features in cm7 roms and much sought-after in ICS roms, and wanting to experience ICS in its stock form before trying any custom roms, I went about trying to find a way to get status bar toggles back because they're really convenient for switching things on/off (eg rotation) without having to leave an app. Widgetsoid, an app obtainable from the android market, suits my needs, placing no-frills one-touch toggles in my notification bar, and handily having an option to hide the ongoing notification icon so my status bar remains 'pure'. This way I can get cm-like settings whilst keeping to the more stable (imo) and stock rom. Free version is here and donate version is here.

I'm not affliated with this app or its maker in any way, just thought I'd share something that made my life a little easier/my phone a little better.

Cheers and a late Merry Christmas to all!:p

I agree it is great. I was looking for a transparent control panel widget and couldn't find something decent.

This is really great, it works like a charm.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] suksit:
Wow, it doesn't work on GB (I have to tap the notification to open the popup, then do the actual toggle) If it works on ICS then that's a really good news!

----------------------

EDITED:

Just flashed an ICS ROM and tried it out -- it really works! :D

Now the only issue is I cannot really "hide" the notification icon. It is transparent but it is there. If there are other notification icons, it will look like there is a "space" in the notification area :confused:
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] AtomicPC:
Oh that's cool, I didn't realize that Widgetsoid would do that. I wished I could make the custom color stick though...
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] juliano_q:
Very nice, I was using Widgetsoid for months and didnt know that. The colors are a little ugly but it works well in the notification bar.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] t3ej4y:
AFAIK in order for the toggles to stay there it has to be an 'ongoing' notification, which means the icon has to stay there, so the next best alternative would be an invisible, transparent icon:D
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] t3ej4y:
The colours were annoying me too, so I emailed the dev, hopefully he's able to get a fix or update of sorts! Setting the toggle indicator to 'dot' makes it less 'in your face' imo.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] suksit:
Yeah I kinda understand that part.

Just wonder if it's possible to make the icon "always in the rightmost position" so it doesn't appear between or in front of other notification icons? :rolleyes:
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] stojshic:
Colors are not that bad with setup like this... Only thing I can't change is backgroud (I would put it to transparent, but there's no such option) everything else is configurable....

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] MersauX:
Thanks for the tip. I tried this before on my HTC Hero, but as mentioned in a post above I had to open up a popup first in ordere to enable anything. This is so cool now. :)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] KrisMurdrum:
I've been using Widgetsoid pretty much since I got my Nexus. I can't belive I forgot about that option... Used to have it on my HS on GB, but now I've got it tucked away in notifications!

thanks!

ps. not sure if he'll reply to, I did send in a detailed bug report once and I didn't get any response from him. last I checked he hasn't updated since april '11

I was trying to get it to do the same blue color as ICS uses. I used a screenshot to pull the color but when I type it in the custom box it doesn't actually change to that color.

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] stojshic:
I got blue color of the icons, but didn't like how it looks on grey background, so I decided to go with black icons... I didn't copy color code, but just changed the color on color chooser to look as much as possible blue as ICS default... It did look same (at least to me), but, as I said, didn't like blue/grey combination...
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] juliano_q:
Very nice, just bought it. Very simple to use if you just want the toggles.

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] danielrod:
Do you know of any way to remove the notification icon?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] steve.garon:
Unfortunately no.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] t3ej4y:
Haha yeah, one thing I like about widgetsoid is the transparent icon... now I'm pretty used to the black space there when I have other notifications:D Kinda like my status bar as minimal as possible.

What's the color code to put in Widgetsoid that's the same as ICS blue ? I saw #33B5E5 somewhere, but this hex code doesn't work in apps color picker.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] DoomFragger:
I couldn't find a way to hide the widget and keep the notification in Extended Controls. So, I made a background that could fit nicely (IMHO) in both places.

i now have the widget from widgetsoid2.x in my notification bar. Is there a configuration so this widget will always appear on top of the notification bar? At the moment, if a new sms comes in it appears right above the widgetsoid widget.

Help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] skezza:
Hi buddy,

It's very easy to hide the widget while keeping the notifications, but what it means is that you will need to do it every time you restart your phone (because the Widget actually starts the application when ICS boots, which then loads the profile).

First thing you need to do, is delete the Widget you made.

Now:

1. Open Extended Controls from your App Drawer.

2. Press Widgets With the Spanner Above (it will load the Widgets in use, and previously used).

3. Press the little Edit button, a crayon/pencil (between Refresh and Delete), then press the one next to the profile you want to use.

If you have already set Widget Notification then simply press back to Exit Extended Controls then back two more times (to leave the main activity) and voila.

If you are just using a Widget on your home screen....

4. Slide across to Advanced.

5. Select Widget Notification (& I also suggest scrolling down and enabling Hide Notification Icon).

Press back to exit, then back twice again and rock and roll.

When you restart your phone, all you need to do is open Extended Controls, Widgets, Edit, select the Widget, then exit Extended Controls. Might seem a bit annoying but considering you may only reset your phone once a week I think it's a small price to pay for extra desktop real estate :D

Let me know if this works, it's been working for me for quite a while.

I am the developer of a widget that does exactly that, a Hotspot toggle widget that works with all versions, including ICS / Galaxy Nexus:

Search the market for "Fattin | Hotspot Toggle Widget", it's also free ;)​
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] AtomicPC:
Anyone else having trouble with tethering? If I have the icon in widgetsoid and click it it lights up but nothing more. If I create a shortcut to it and select it through that then I can turn it off and back on through the widgets button. As soon as I unplug and plug back in I have to go through that process again.

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] KrisMurdrum:
Sorry guys, but out of experience I've gotta ask... When did you last update widgetsoid (he's suddenly churning up updates) and have you tried to redo the toggle from scratch since then?

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Revin:
Funny thing - I am trying both widgetsoid and notification toggle and I turned both of them in accessibility settings (maybe the name is different, I have it in my own language - usnadnění), so both will try to stay on top in notifications, so now they are fighting for they place on the top :)

I guess widgetsoid is my favourite for nowm, although notification toggle is very good app too...
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] t3ej4y:
Yup redid from scratch after last 2 updates I think, the updates fixed some of the theming issues on ICS!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] KrisMurdrum:
Well I had to ask. I've got the latest update and I was able to get the toggle bar transparent in the notification bar. All it took was to go to theme and set the background to None...

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] [BartSim]:
I'm not sure it is transparent but i really love it:

Open Widgetsoid in apps --> Notification --> Notification on top. You have to accept and activate service (You'll see it after that) to work properly.

LOL! :) The same problem i got, but this "fighting for the first place" appears only when I download something from Android Market. See here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBZGTXtnAHg

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] PapaGanoosh:

it's not perfect (because ics lines are 1px thick and widgetsoid resize the image, I think ), but it's a good result IMHO

ROM cooking is a complex thing to do, but you can start by looking ar dsixda's Android Kitchen. It's pretty simple, exactly what's needed for beginners.

From there you should start browsing the forums and learn for yourself: here or here (for Nexus S). I'm also playing around with ROM cooking but still in my early stages. Basically just tweaking at the moment:p Good luck and hoping to see some of your projects!;)
