This is THE MOST GENIOUS idea someone on XDA had! I'm currently building Gingerbread ROM for Xperia U, and I was in need of solution how to change tracks while I'm in some other app. I've managed to implement buttons in notifications bar, but that was an ugly solution to my otherwise aesthetically pleasing parts of rom because buttons were there all the time. Now with this mod, I got what I wanted :)
It's handy that we can also change the colour of status bar with this app :) :) :) I cannot than you enough!

Also, can I implement this mod in my rom when I release it? You will be credited, of course :D

Keep the good work going :)

Nice one! Here's some Quick Suggestions:

• Add a Custom Activity function (like Double Tap to Open Running Services, or Recent Apps, or the likes of it)

• Add an Open Application function (like Double Tap to Open Messaging App)

Anyways, Great MOD! Will try on my S2! :highfive:

    OK I'm up with some solutions ;)
    Tested this mod while ago found that notification drawer doesn't expands after settings layout height and width as "fill_parent" .
    If u want your notification drawer to open then do the following changes.

    In status_bar.XML when u added the line <com.potato....... > in it change android:layout _width="fill_parent" to android:layout_width="240.0dip"

    Also if u want ,add this android:layout_gravity="center" so that u can open your drawer from left as well as from the right.

    *Here I changed value to 240 cuz my actual width is 480. U may set it up as per your device resolution ;)

    Next is don't assign same options for the Two or more actions, else systemui will fc.

    I DID IT ON MY MT6577 PROCESSOR DEVICE RUNNING JB 4.2.1 also know as Micromax A110.

    Check SS below.

    No DL just yet, correct?! This is an amazing idea though. Can't wait to test it on my Sprint Galaxy S4!
    In the downloads tab ;)
