Hi,
I am a bit confused about these. They seem to be related but all different things. Could anyone point me to what they are and how they are used?
Thanks
Quick settings is panel accessible from the notification drawer containing tiles (toggles) which control some system settings (wifi,gps,bt..)
Quick access ribbon is a row of controls (system settings like above) you see on top when opening the notification drawer (e.g. sliding from top to bottom)
I see. So I have is Quick Settings (toggles) and Notification. I've not seen quick access ribbon though.
I have both of them in the lower right corner. Above the notifications, there is an row with a single icon which looks like many lines and a ",' following it. I don't see ribbon of toggles. Any way to enable them?
Thanks
I'm using CarbonRom based on CyanogenMod 10.2 (Android 4.3) and I found it in the statusbar settings:
Settings -> Statusbar -> Quick Settings -> Quick Access Ribbon
I did find it. However, when I run in Tablet UI with notification, quick access settings all in the lower right corner, I don't see quick access ribbon. Instead, I see the attached image.
Any clue on why? Thanks

Which rom are you using? Maybe that feature has been implemented yet in your device rom
I have PAC-man 4.3, which has CM 10.2
The ribbon is there in the stock UI mode. When I use tablet UI, when notification and quick settings are both in the lower right corner, the ribbon turns into that icon as in my previous attached image.
Oh I see, it must be just a bug then

Anyone know if there's a way to expand the notification window? Or reduce the size of all the quick settings buttons? When I tap the lower-right corner to expand the notification window and see my notifications, 100% of the notifications are hidden below the bar (because the time, date, wifi status, battery status, quick setting buttons, brightness setting, and 'settings' item fill the entire window), which means I always have to swipe-scroll-up to see what notifications are waiting if any. Kind of awkward and doesn't seem at all what Google intended.
If the window notification window opened further (to a greater height on the screen), or the some of the settings could be collapsed (the clock?), it'd solve the problem...
I would like to add some "tiles" to the Quick Settings pull down "shade" in the upper right corner. I'm on JB 4.21, the one just released for us.
Some sites show the shade having a 'setting' icon in the shade's upper right corner. However, when I go to my tablet, the shade does not have any such icon. The "Settings" tile sends me to the normal Settings screen.
Is there a way to add to or remove tiles to this Quick Settings shade? I know there are apps that might do the same. But I was puzzled why some devices with this JB version has the Quick Settings setup icon for itself, and others do not.
Thanks for any help.
Is there a version of a CM based ROM newer than Android 4.1.2 that has the same type of quick settings ribbon that CM 10.0.0 has? I prefer the older version of the quick settings ribbon, specifically, I really like being able to change the brightness between customizable brightness levels at the touch of a button. As opposed to pressing the button, then having to move the brightness bar.
To clarify:
In CM 10.0.0, you can have various toggle buttons (wifi, mobile data, brightness etc) show up on a quick settings ribbon in the notification drawer. Pressing these toggles them on off or between settings. For brightness you can have multiple toggles set for different levels of brightness (0-100%) and these are toggled between by just pressing the button.
In newer versions of CM the brightness toggle in the quick settings ribbon is changed so that if you press it the brightness slider shows up and you toggle it that way, this adds and extra step and is less convenient when in situations where the screen is too dark to see.
I’ve tried multiple versions of CM based ROMs, but all of them had the newer type of quick settings ribbon that I do not like. It is literally the only new feature that I don’t like. I want to update because I prefer the newer versions of the keyboard, clock, and various other settings.
Also slightly off topic: are newer versions ROMs better for battery life and/or performance? Or does is that generally not affected? Obviously if I am using more new features at once I will have less battery, but if I do the same old thing as before is it more efficient with my battery?
As far as I know you're stuck with the newer style brightness setting on the newer versions of the ROM. I haven't flashed a recent version of CM but I'm pretty sure it has the status bar brightness slider option where you slide your finger horizontally along the status bar to adjust the brightness. That's only one step total to adjust your brightness.
Battery performance has been improved on later versions of most ROMs.

Hi,
I had a ROM once, that allowed me to swipe from left to right or vice versa on notification drawer so I could toggle between notifications panel and quick settings panel (by swipe).
Do you guys now if this is doable with CM11 somehow?
If it is possible it would be with xposed, which doesn't work with art and from my experience makes the phone a little slower.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What you described works with swiping on the notification pull down bar. Not inside the drawer itself.
It depends what ROM you're on, some have it, some don't. CM doesn't.

Yeah, this may be xposed. Do you know name of the module maybe? I am trying to find it but no luck so far...
Bottom quick settings tiles will be convenient options these days because of large screen's of devices like 6.5".
Is it possible??
