I notice on my nexus 7 that there is a quick setting toggle why doesn't the 5 have it? Might just get a custom rom just to add that and flash light to the quick settings.

It's not 4.4, it's tablet vs phone. You don't have the rotation lock with 4.3 on a Nexus 4/Galaxy Nexus either. You'll have to ask Google why that is.
Annoying isn't it. I'm waiting for Xposed to be compatible with 4.4, then I can use Gravitybox mod to customize the toggles like I did with my GNEX.
Or you can use something like Notification Toggle to put all the toggles you want into the notification drawer. I use the Wifi, Rotate, Flashlight, and Mobile Data toggles.

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,

HI
Please try
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.notificationToggle
I use Power Toggles:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.painless.pc
It works very well and you can create toggles for your Notification area or as Widgets for you homescreen.
Hi,
thanks for your answers!
I've tried this app but there isn't possibility to add nothing in quick toggles area...
With this app, minewhile, i've added the toggles in notification area...
Have you ideas?
Thanks,

I have root but don't think this is available unless you flash a custom ROM, I'm just praying for AKOP to release something...

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.
Had the phone in my hand for an hour and debating sending it back for a few reasons.i dont know why google wouldnt implement quick panel..its a basic must have for many

Im just waiting for the up to date Cyanogenmod build to be developed and released which will have fully customizable expanded quick setting tiles as standard. Its what I usually do with all my Nexus devices.

I have used the various 23 Toggle mods, battery mods etc that are available for the Note 2, S3 etc. Looking forward to these being available for the N5... but development takes time.
coming from CM on my old LG P990, this is the only thing that I'm missing ; customizable quick setting tiles.
I use old good Widgetsoid. Very customizable.

GravityBox
I'm using GravityBox and works very well. I recommend you to try it. It needs root acces.
I'm using Quicker Free
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bwx.bequick2
It is similar to the QuickPanel in appearance but allows you to add and remove the settings you like. Also allows you to make more than one screen of settings.
Actually just tried out Power Toggles and like it better than Quicker Free
Just use Cataclysm rom. It's pretty much stock rom with a few added options like this
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
I use extended settings haven't tried any of the other options really but it does what i need it to do and i think it meets your needs and its also free but there is a paid version with some extra features

Hi Guys, I'm a long time android user, but this is my first pure AOSP, I've been on various CM roms for quite a while.
I was pretty surprised to see that I can't find a custom quick settings option (ie change how the quick settings buttons work)....
- Why would you ever have bluetooth and wifi tiles launch settings menus, rather than just toggle bluetooth / wifi on/off - really silly default option..
- would love to be able to add a torch, screen timeout & screen rotation lock tiles...
My question, is there any way to get this sort of functionality without going to a custom rom - still using the quick tiles? or is it just a matter of me not being so impatient and waiting for CM or similar to be released..
Love the idea of being able to get OTA updates.. and really to be honest, the only thing I am really missing from CM is the ability to modify the quick tiles..

If you long press a tile, it toggles that setting on off.

Awesome, thanks, at least makes bluetooth and wifi toggles more practical..
So I take it that adding extra tiles (ie say screen rotation for example) , is not an option in AOSP?

Not that I remember, it's an added feature to ROMs.
It's good to know I am not the only one feeling this one.
I was a bit shocked to see how little options there are for customization in the stock rom.
I guess I am spoiled by CyanogenMod....

Checkout widgetzoid. It is what I use for this functionality.

Here is a screen shot, very customizable and the bolt to the right is like torch.

If you want rotation lock in quick settings you have to modify SystemUI.apk and framework2.jar. If you were using stock you'd have to modify those, but using AOSP means you can just change a few lines of code and recompile.
If you want to know the exact parts to modify let me know.

Cataclysm Rom has customizable quick settings
Root and Xposed Framework
I had the same frustration as you. Root your Nexus, Download Xposed framework the Gravity Box for KitKat module and you can add toggles and change other stuff if you want. Its perfect for customizing your stock os.
Id recommend make a nandroid backup and save it. I dont know if it effects your phone when you get an OTA update. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ALL THIS I love my Nexus now
Is there anyway to get the pull down notification screen on the lock screen if you have pin/pattern enabled?
I loved how iOS handled this, where you can see Notification Center in the lock screen but once you select a notification, you then have to unlock the device to go any further. Can this be done on Android?
BTW, I tried DashClock but it's very buggy on the N5 and does not do what I need. The pull down notification screen would work perfectly.
No this is not possible.

Thanks for the response, I guess the all mighty Andorid is not he customizable beast I was hoping it would be
Well you could just use the slide lock screen. Its not secure but the notification bar will be available.
Also there may be lock screen widgets that can show info you may be looking for like email, twitter, etc.

Wait till XPosed is compatible with KK and you will get that feature.
Once xposed comes to 4.4 (soon), then so much more customization will be possible, including what you want to do.
Hi. I'm trying to buy a Nexus 5. I had it before and one thing that annoys me is the lack of quick toggles (for the Wifi, Bluetooth, GPS, Screen Rotate, etc.) like what one can do on a Samsung/Sony/HTC/LG/Motorola phone.
Now, i know installing launchers does not have a quick toggles feature in its UI but my question is:
1. IS there any launchers out there that has the option to have quick toggles in the phone's UI? (like when swiping your fingers from top down to the screen?
2. What alternative quick toggles app that i can install for my Nexus 5?
Please advice.
If you don't use the 2 finger swipe and longpress in the times, i can recommend:
Power toggles from Painless.
Can be used as widget in lockscreen, too. Switch e.g. wifi on/off without unlocking phone

Custom ROM or Xposed Framework.
Also questions belong in Q&A, not General.
Yea just use a custom rom or u just long press on the status bar toggles to turn on/off

Quick tiles are part of systemUI which is part of the rom. Nothing to do with launchers at all.
Custom ROMs or Xposed.

It sounds like you aren't aware of the two finger swipe (or right side pull down in some ROMs). I think Google's implementation is better than that of other manufacturers.
Hi, I recently noticed the the toggles on the status bar have moved. My toggle for air plane mode and mobile data have moved places and I have no idea why???
Is this normal, please see attachment (mobile data toggle in the middle is original placement)
Thanks

Is this CyanogenMod? Then you can rearrange your toggles in settings menu.
OP just tried "invert colors" function from accessibility menu and that appeared in pull down menu

You don't have to worry about anything. That's normal, because statusbar toggles on Lollipop somehow work on this way. With time (if you wan't touch it) invert toggle will disappear.
You added a toggle and that shifted all the others one place to the right. Nothing strange here.
