so, i really, really miss sbsettings from the iphone days. It was amazing. Customizable toggles in the drop down menu. There was a toggle for everything: data, 3g, edge, push, wifi, location, brightness, etc etc etc.
As of now, we have the 4 basic toggles, but i never use bluetooth so it bothers me to have it there. We need to have the toggles scroll, like the dock does within LauncherPro and allow some customization of the toggles. And no, i don't want all these toggles spread around my homescreens. It is so convenient to have the toggles in the drop down, but we just need MORE!
What can be done? Is there a better way to do toggles that i am missing? I have beautiful widgets, but that just doesn't do it for me. Help me out!
There is an apparently you can get. I believe its called quick settings.

Would it be possible to get WIFI, GPS, BT, and maybe Network Toggles built into the pull down status bar? Like the galaxy S has.
you could try bar control or bar tender from the market, they allow you to add things like this to your status bar. They both take up room up top though, even if you can't see them.
Yeah I tried those but they took up to much space as they were vertically. I found one app in the market that basically put the power control bar in the status pull down but the app was really poorly written.
Would love to see if somebody could whip this up.
Thanks
Under the notification bar, not a widget.
I recall a way to flash a .zip to get more quick settings there, but can't put my finger on it.
Anyone know of how to put extra settings under the notification bar, like add screen orientation sensor on/off, etc. alongside the already existing brightness, wifi, etc.?
Using Inspired Ace v1.0.1 ROM.
I know you can decompile systemUI and change the order, add, subtract toggles from the notification pull down. Does anyone know if you can add things like wifi direct? It'd be kinda of nice instead of shuffling through settings. Or even add in a flashlight toggle?
Wifi direct
It will be nice to have Wifi direct toggle. In TW JellyBean you can always long press the Wifi icon in the notification bar and it will get you inside the Wifi menu and then you can choose Wifi direct from there.
I wanna bump this. I had kinda forgotten about this, but being snowed in the last couple days, I've been playing around and would still like to know if we could add new options in the stock notifications toggles.
I'm running Viper XL 3.2.8 and I used to have power toggles in my pull down status bar (wifi, gps, flashlight, data, etc.). In the past few days, these have been replaced by quick launch icons that I find useless. I can still access these things if I go over to the quick settings, but I've been searching the settings for hours trying to get it back to how it was. What am I missing?
The first attachment is what it looks like now.
The second attachment is what it used to look like that I'm trying to return to.
Long press on the time and date area and it will change. Cycle through the different views until you get what you want.
Thank you! I knew it was something simple.
Is there a mod I can flash to allow the notification shade from the lockscreen? Would be nice to access Torch without having to unlock my device...
EDIT: I should point out that I don't use the lockring, and I like how 4.4 eliminates the lockring if you use a PIN for security.
EDIT 2: Even a (gigantic) Torch widget for the lockscreen would be acceptable.
So you're not able to pull down notifications or toggles from your lockscreen? By default you're able to but maybe not once you've set a password. There are many flashlight/torch widgets however.
There is a mod for Xposed called Notification Mod that enables you to pull down your notifications shade when you have a PIN lock. Couple that with the torch quick settings tile from GravityBox and you'll be good to go.

i use widgetsoid to add a torch toggle widget to the lockscreen, and i've just set my unlock to be pin rather than slide and it still shows up, so that might be worth looking into
We have a winner! This thing is perfect. Completely minimalist, it's just a small, or medium, or huge plain flat holo-style icon as a widget on the lockscreen. In all sizes, it's centered. Tap it and the LED goes on, tap it again and the LED goes off. Couldn't have asked for a better solution. And to think, I was just about to spend hours trying to figure out what the heck "Xposed framework" is and what ROMs it's compatible with and how to use it, just to get a flashlight on the lockscreen.
How is this not a feature in every ROM yet???
