is there a way to add it? or change the other toggles?
I don't know why it doesn't in the normal toggle area, but considering it annoys you in the lower notification about it (and you can turn it on from there), you don't really need it in the normal toggle area (even though it'd be nicer to have it there).

I couldn't believe it wasn't in there either, I mean ..wtf?
I've had the pleasure of owning both devices and there are a couple of things that I'm missing from the old Razr. 1st is the quick settings. I love the way that I could swipe to the left on the home screen and get quick access to the settings. On the Droid Maxx I had to go into settings and change the recent button to the settings button. I just hold it down and release to get to the settings. 2nd is the home page manager. I only need about 2-3 home screens and if I needed more or less it was very easy to add or delete a screen if i needed. With the Droid Maxx I don't have that ability. I just have extra screens that I don't use and cant manage. The 3rd missing feature is the favorites section in the apps drawer. Instead of looking for the apps that were used the most in the app drawer and that weren't on the home screens, i had them sitting in the favorites section. Now i have no choice but to make a favoites folder and utilize my home screens. Not that anything is wrong with that, it just looked better and cleaner. The 4th and final is being able to have root just to have adds blocked and the wifi hack. I am grand fathered on data and not giving it up! I got the Droid Maxx on release date and patiently waiting for root access, not too worried about unlocked bootloader. I'm use to having all these features and wish I could have them back. If you know another work around or things you miss about your old Rarz Maxx HD, please chime in. Thanks in advance.
Nothing but Moto forever, Droid to the the Maxx!!!!!!

If you have your old phone still and it's rooted, grab the launcher.apk from system/app and send it to the new max. Try to install and see if you get your settings back

Quick settings toggles can be accessed by a two finger swipe down from the top of the screen.
I know it's not everything in settings, but it's most of the stuff I use on a regular basis.

And the rest of the settings are available from a single tap on the "settings" icon on that page.
Camera?
How's the camera? The RAZR MAXX HD's camera sucked. Hopefully it's gotten a bit better since then.

Just use the Apex Launcher. There's a free version. It lets you customize swipes and other behaviors. The thing I like most about it is I can lock the screen so I don't accidentally move or delete icons.

Coming from S3, camera is comparable, not all the functions, but photos are ok. Can disable shutter sound out of the box, which is nice.

The best for putting toggles in the notification bar...even better if you're rooted.

I miss smart actions the most. I have read that Tasker will work in it's stead, however, the wife doesn't seem to agree when she gets jolted awake at 2:30 am from an email notification. I also don't care for the locked in place Google search bar. I hate that thing. Especially right at the top where I have to look at it.
But, in comparison to the RAZR Maxx, this one is so much nicer. Less lag, much less. Its so smooth and zippy. Best one I have had yet.

Look for the app called Assist in the app drawer.

I really miss smart actions too. If my phone or roomates phone missed a call from our apartment gate intercom, it would automatically send a text to the other person. Also I loved having wifi connect only when in a specific area and having mobile data shut off.

Back to the original thread, after the hijack about Smart Actions/Assist...
I'd strongly recommend taking a look at Widgetsoid, which can be used to customize a set of toggles on the notification bar.
I really like it because you can specify settings for some of the toggles; for example, I have a brightness toggle that cycles 5%-->30%-->100%-->Auto, and a timeout toggle that cycles 30 seconds-->2 minutes-->5 minutes, but you could set those values to anything you wanted.
Here's a link to a pretty detailed tutorial.

Not sure if I just haven't found the option yet but can we extend how long the notification light blinks after a missed call,text etc? It seems like it may only flash for 5 or 10 minutes. I know it seems like not that big of a deal but I would like to know a way to change it. I'm dispatched for work through text so not having to constantly pick up my phone to see if I have a missed call or text would be ideal. Thanks in advance!
I think this is the 1 issue with the phone that baffles me. Such a great device, but such a strange setting by HTC.

I know. Such a stupid little thing but it drives me nuts.
Well after some more homework it sounds like this has been going on for a lot of HTC phones. This is my first one.Is there an app or something that can bypass this 5 minute timeout? I'm assuming it's probably something I would have to be rooted for since apps like liteflow don't seem to work. Any help is appreciated.

Light Flow has a "HTC alternative direct mode", and it states "Phones such as the latest HTC One control the LED differently when running in Direct Mode. This option should enable flashing the LED." Granted... I am unsure if you need root for that option. Same with Direct Mode. Only option I am sure that needs Root is, well, Root mode, lol.
Sadly this is all I can think of that might help you, sorry.
You can get lightflow to work this thread in the regular M8 forum kinda lays out how to do it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2719073

Thanks man but I don't think this will bypass the 5 minute HTC timeout.
It does for me. You just have to set the light to never time out was going for about 8 10 minutes before I noticed it was blinking sounds off its about bed time

Looking for a way to have notifications display from bottom to top instead of top to bottom of the pull down menu. Does anyone know how to get this option either by messing with the system or xposed? Trying to minimize the long stretch to the top of the screen with my thumb.
You can see by reset.

This guy just posts to keep his numbers up it seems... As for the notification thing? Check out xposed... There might be something there. Personally, I've never seen or tried to do that.

You need to trick your phone into tablet mode. Not sure how exactly without a custom rom maybe perapp hacking with xposed

So i havent seen this little ditty anywhere around. Most likely cause i suck at search.
Settings>accessibility>screen color adjustment.
Turn that on and move the circle to above the music icon. I have the bottom part of the circle line in the music icon.
Made a wonderful difference for me, try it out.

Sorry to hear that. Has worked great on 3 phones so far. Maybe try playing around with the setting? It is very sensitive.
Maybe that will help
