[Q] Live Toggle Tiles

The ability to toggle things on and off from the home screen have always been important to me. This is something I feel is major that WP7 doesn't have. I am looking for the ability to have a toggle switch to turn Wifi, bluetooth, airplane mode, and other similar things on and off from the home screen. In searching the closest thing I could find is this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7238403&highlight=toggle+switch#post7238403
If anyone knows about development of toggle switches or know if they are coming in the update that would be great. Thanks in advance.

Try attached file this contain toogle for.
airplane mode
wifi settings
bluetooth
data connection
location

Are these supposed to be toggle switches for the home screen or just open then settings for each individual application? For me this is taking it from three steps to turn Wifi on and off of only two steps. Thank you for the reply, and I absolutely love your registry thread, but I don't think this is what I am looking for. Please let me know if I am wrong.

I would like to see them in metro style. Simple white icons without the 3d effect.

No problem. You can do it yourself.
1. Rename the .xap file to .zip
2. Unzip the file
3. Open the unzipped folder
4. Replace the application and background icons with the icons of your choice (same size)
5. Zip all files again
6. Rename the new .zip file to .xap
7. Deploy
Personally I use Dinik Anastasia icons because on OMNIA 7 they look much better than the metro icons...

Not Switches
Once you go to settings and set each of these application you do not need a button on the home screen to get back to each individual setting. This is a waist of space for a home screen that is supposed to be clean. The switch would just turn it on and off from the home screen. I am not looking for a shortcut (and I know what one is), I am hoping to find someone working one toggle switches for the home screen.
What it would need to be is a program that runs a live tile. When the particular tile is clicked on the home screen it would have the program switch that particular connection on or off.
The look of the tile doesn't matter unless it is a useful tile.

better than this you don't get for the moment

I figured this when I searched and searched and couldn't find anything. I am hoping to spur somebody into working one this, or finding someone that already is. I was also hoping to find out if Microsoft was thinking about this.

What I would love is a one tap shortcut to 1 page with all the toggles. So instead of me going to setting- wifi - on I could go settings -on , this would apply for bluetooth, location, brightness, etc.
I swore I saw this app posted somewhere but so far all i could find are the individual app shortcuts.
PS If you're like me and actually use voice control all the time, I actually installed the wifi and location shortcuts but didn't pin them to the home screen I simple hold down the start button and say "Open Wifi" works like a charm!

I'm also waiting for a toggle feature. In fact its the only reason I haven't purchased a WP7 device yet.
As soon as there's an easy way to toggle data on/off I'm buying the HD7.

take a look .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=934727

The OP said 3 or 4 times that he doesn't want to have that, lucmar! And if you would read the first page you would see exactly that! He wants to have a toggle to switch it on/off! Is reading a post that hard?

Personally the live toggle tiles are a waste of space. My idea is to have the toggles in the menu bar that pops up when you press the volume buttons.
So you press the volume buttons, the menu pops up, you swipe left or right (same you get rid of notifications) and it brings up another part of the menu bar with access to all the common toggles.
The main advanage of this is that you can access the toggles from anywhere as the volume bar is OS wide so you don't have to quit your app/game to access the toggles unlike if you have live tiles.

This is a great idea and would be nice as an overall experience. This would take a lot of programming, and at the rate Microsoft is coming out with updates, this would not be done for another 2 or 3 years. That is why I can asking for a very simple program that turns on and off settings and has a toggle switch when pinned to the home screen. This would only take a day or two by an experience programmer. Anyone?

[Q] Q: How to remove social networking pane from notification panel

I just ordered my SK4G, and after trying one out, am itching to get the bloatware off. Would it be possible to remove the FB/Twatter shortcut with Metamorph?
I am planning to run stock 2.2.1 w/SuperOneClick & CWM (until a good Cyanogen port hits), and have at least some experience dealing with franchise device bs. In-depth h4x much appreciated.
Thanks in advance, 31337 of XDA

Settings > Display > My Social Network Status
Unchecking that will get rid of the update pane in the notification panel, but you lose the pane with the toggles for wifi, bluetooth, gps, vibrate, and auto rotate.
I leave mine checked and just swap to the toggle pane when I start up the phone. It doesn't swap back to the status update pane unless you turn off the phone, so it doesn't get too annoying.

Groovy. I suppose I can wait until that little frivolity is patched along with Gingerbread, unless Cyanogen hurries up, what a weird place to put a setting like that... 0.o

Thanks, the fix worked fine. Btw I'm using Widgetsoid in place of it for customizeable settings buttons.

CM7 Tricks & Tips [5-24-12]

As we all know cyanogenmod 7 has lots of cool tweaking and mod features based in.. but there's also some stuff you mau not of knew about..
I will continue to post new tricks I find and be sure to post some you know too
Tricks&Tips:
*Swipe Notifications: Don't you hate clearing all notifications well now you can clear the ones you don't want by simply holding down and sliding to the left or right
*Screenshot: In the power menu(hold down power button) there is a screenshot button to take screenies and save them to your sd
*Sound Profiles: You can create different sound profiles in the setting so say when your home you like your sound on with vibrate on and at work you like silent with vibrate for calls only. You can acomplish this with the sound profiles. A quick way to change profiles is from your Power Menu>Choose Profile. This makes it easier to change your sound settings

There is s setting that allows you to slide your finger across the notification bar and adjust the brightness of the screen.

I think I understand but still not 100%.
I thought it was a touchwiz thing. But it never worked for me properly. Even with auto turned off.
Another option that does away with a app is adb over wifi.
Settings>Applications>Development>ADB over Network.
I dont remember the port you have to use. This was a nice option on my optimus.

[Q] (Q&A)How to on Jellybeen 4.2.1 EOS#4

Ok, as I have been guilty of using the Development thread for asking a user type question I thought I might kick this thread off as a "How to do simple tasks in Jellybean EOS#4"
Link to Rom and Development thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35828448&postcount=1
Its more so that I can ask questions and get them answered here so that others can also learn the basic's as it is really packed full of lots of little goodies that we have had to use other apps to do..
As I get time I will try to add screen shoots of some of the basic operations so that it is easier and keeps the development thread clean for Tim and others to carry on the work to get this rom settled.
Honestly the EOS jellybean series of Roms are great for daily use and as I was on EOS#3 for a few months, I have no hesitation in suggesting "Take the leap".
All credits go to the developers and the hours they have spent pulling this fork together.
And in case you forget how to install here it is from the horses mouth..
How to install:
Going to EOS4.2.1 from a rom < 4.2:
Backup everything !
Go to recovery
Make a full wipe / factory reset
format /system
Flash the rom
Flash gapps
Wipe cache/dalvik
Reboot
Updating from EOS 4.2.1 #XX to #YY:
You can skip the full wipe step

The following is a cut and paste from Frederuco's thread over at Asus Transformer Forum - TF101
Would like to Thank him for his work and all credits for the time spent on this already..
Is Adobe Flash supported on this ROM?
Yes and no - Adobe has dropped flash support for Android. The latest versions were for 4.0 in August 2012.
HOWEVER - You can still sideload flash. First, go to Settings - Security - Unknown Sources. Tick the box. Next, go to the Adobe Archives and download the latest version for Android 4.0. After it downloads tap on it to install it.
Flash works well in the stock Browser, Firefox, Firefox Beta and Boat Browser. Dolphin has disabled flash support for JellyBean last time I checked.
My battery is draining fast
Check your WiFi sleep settings. Settings - WiFi - Tap the button in the top right, Advanced, WiFi on during sleep - Never. Keep in mind, this is forced. No need for AutoAirplane Mode, this ROM forces the WiFi off when the tablet is sleeping.
There is also a setting for how long after you put the tablet to sleep that WiFi stays on. EOS Control Center, go to the Systems settings. Change the SCREEN OFF WIFI IDLE DELAY.
How do I get rid of the circle touchpad and get a real pointer?
Open EOS Control Center. Top right, change from Interface to System. Tap on Device Settings. Touchpad Mode. Change from Gestures (CIRCLE) to Trackpad (Arrow)
My Volume is lower than it was on stock
Most custom ROMs for JellyBean have had some volume issues. There is an app for that! It is made by none other than TimDuru.
It is the K.A.T Toolbox. K.A.T - V1.2.4 [ICS][JB4.1-4.2.1] App | Audio enhancer | Misc fixes | Scanner Filters.
Read more about what it is and how to use it in the development
Grab the latest and install it. Once installed, open it. Grant root permissions. Tap the Audio Section. Tap the Cascade Digital + Analog Levels and Link Volumes to Volume Keys. This will give you about as much volume as you can get out of your tablet. Volume levels go from 0 to 63.
The dock is using a US layout and I do not have a US dock. How do I change it?
You probably already tried changing the AOSP keyboard in the Language and input with no luck. Well, it is not there. It is buried in the EOS Control Center.
Open EOS Control Center. Top right, change from Interface to System. Tap on Device Settings. Tap Dock Keyboard Layout. Choose the proper layout and then you will need to reboot for the settings to take effect.
I have the dock, is there a way I can hide the NavBar but keep the notification bar at the top?
Yes, open the EOS Control Center. Scroll down and tick the HIDE NOW under the Navigation Bar section. If you want it hidden on boot, you can also tick the box for it.
Even if you DON'T have the dock, you can install the app LMT and set up thumb controls to swipe in from the left or right to use.
Can I hide the system bars to get a true FULL SCREEN experience?
Yes, just hold the LOCK button for 3 seconds. You will see the POWER MENU. Tap the SYSTEMBARS MODE to toggle them off and on.
The Nav Bar takes up as much room as the old Statusbar, plus I lose the top notification bar. Anything I can do?
Yes, open the EOS Control Center and enable the Low Profile Mode. It makes the bottom bar shorter.

The little round button with dots that take you to the apps and widgets..
On Apex I can move this around the dock bar, it seems in the stock JB launcher its locked in the middle..
Any trick to move it like Apex launcher?
I would prefer to have it to the right hand corner.

And thats a great thread you have got going over there @Asus Transformer Forum - TF101
Would like to add this one from you as well on that question..
How do I get rid of the darn APP DRAWER icon that is bottom dead center?
The stock launcher has a fixed icon that you cannot get rid of for the app drawer. You will need to check out a custom launcher like Apex, Nova, ADW or another one. I like the look of Apex myself with the App Drawer icon in the top right. Custom Launchers are the way to go IMO, so much more you can do with them compared to the stock ICS/JB launchers.

Do we really need that status bar on top?
Is there a way to get JB 4.2 with the 4.1 layout (no status bar on top, navigation/status bar on the bottom)? I've searched high a low on the interwebs and it looks like this is a no go... My biggest gripe is that the status and navigation bars are not controlled by the launcher, so not even an alternative launcher will do that trick.

There is no way to change to a Tablet UI with Android 4.2
It seems it is all Phablet UI with pull down menus.
The older style Tablet UI with the system bar at the bottom is gone.

Agreed, 4.2 is all Phablet.

I tried to change the layout to Greek but nothing happens. I prefer the stock keyboard so i do not want to use an aftermarket one. Is it possible to be added in the rom so to select it in the system settings menu? I use version 150 with kernel 92 . I am sure that the greek language was included in ICS and i was using it with success. Can that be somehow imported in this rom? When i select greek layout from eos settings after reboot nothing is selected. Is that behavior normal?
edit : as i saw when i remove all languages from asussec keyboard it writes Greek but it can not change the language in English when i desire to do so. So it is missing the ability to have selected both Greek and English language because simple Greek tab is missing. Can that be added?

Customize toggles in notification bar

Hello,
I write this post because I need some information for the personalization of my nexus5 (kitkat stock rom).
I would like to customize the toggles accessible from the notifications bar.
I need to have:
-A button that allows me to enable or disable the data network (currently enters clicking in the statistics and from there I have to click the button on / off)
-A button that allows me to make 2g/3g/4g switch (sometime if i need only use whatsapp i use edge for saving battery)
Have you any suggestions?
I know someone will chase the rabbit of the hat!
Thank you,

Has anyone with Root access tried GravityBox Xposed app yet? That should do the trick but I don't know if they updated to 4.4 support yet.

the xposed framework doesn't work on 4.4 yet, sadly. The developer just ordered an N5, and is already looking at the issues, so hopefully we'll have an update soon.

you've already got a data toggle, press and hold the centre button which has the signal icon on it. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth work exactly the same way, quick press into settings, long press toggle. Arse about face compared to others but it works.

I couldnt install either of those apps..kept getting error 920...awesome.
