I've never seen any buttons in the notifications area. This is the first Android phone I've ever had, and I've only had it since May, so I'm locked in till May 2013. As far as I'm concerned, that will require hacking up another apk from a phone that has it, and then adding it into ours. What kind of buttons are there for other phones?
The extra app space is working, but I'm not giving you guys the tutorial yet because my phone literally fails to boot every other time. Then, every other boot works. That's hardly something release worthy.
That would also require hacking up apk's. I am most concerned with getting you guys a stable and and well performing rom before hacks. Once I sort out these my last few known issues, I'll be releasing 0.2b and then moving on to learning how to add some nice features. We're also very close to getting a working kernel thanks to dmrlook.
