edit 2 finger swipe menu - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any way to edit what widgets/settings are shown with the 2 finger swipe? I want to add auto rotation so I don't have to go to settings then display and then switch back to my app.

Rooted? If so, Xposed Framework + Gravity Box can do it. If not, Power Toggles would probably be your best bet. Although Power Toggles won't allow you to edit the quick settings tiles, you should still be able to put toggles in your notification pull down menu (1 finger pull down).

Just root it and get Cataclysm which is really close to stock.

Do I need another app for toggles in Notification tray?

What I want is to have toggles right in the Notification tray.
It looks like this app would do the job: Power Toggles
Right now I either need to press a button in the upper right corner of Notification tray to get to toggles or swipe notification tray with 2 fingers (can't do this with one hand) to get to toggles screen.
But I already have Xposed and GravityBox and wonder if this functionality is already there. If it is - I don't know how to activate it.
It is not in GravityBox. There is also another option in Notification Toggles:

There's an option for a fast toggle in GravityBox. Set it s if you swipe down from the upper right corner (or left if you prefer) it automatically opens to the toggles. Or you can see it to open to toggles by default unless you have a pending notification.

I don't know if this helps, but i believe you can swipe the bottom bar of the notification shade to get to the toggle panel, but personally i use gravity box with the quick toggle set to the right side

Quick toggle from upper right corner is what will work for me. Thanks

Unable to set lock screen options after update to CM 13

I've just updated to CM 13 and realized that my phone could be unlocked without any lock screen displaying. Previously, I had a pattern set for my OPO so I was surprised the OTA update removed it. Undeterred, I tried every type of lock option to no avail. It saves the pattern, PIN or password as it requests for it whenever I return to the options screen. However, pressing the power button or double tapping the status bar only blanks out the screen. Pressing the power button or double tapping the screen immediately unlocks my phone, thus bypassing any unlock mode that I've set. Any ideas or anyone facing this strange issue?
Am I the only one facing this problem?
@uninformeduser
Pull down the status bar until you see the quick toggles then do this:
1. "Edit tiles"
2. + (on the top right)
3. add the "Lock screen" tile
It should be grey now (inactive). Tap on it to enable the lockscreen again.
This tile disables the lockscreen, regardless of your security setting.
If this method does not help, I guess your only help will be a factory reset.

Great! Now the lock screen works as expected. Strange that the lock screen tile is auto selected after an OTA upgrade and no indication in the settings as well (until I toggled the tile off and back on again).
Offtopic: Gesture typing on android keyboard is not working anymore.

Can't tell you much as I use CM13 and won't switch to COS13.
Check the keyboard settings, there should be an option for gesture typing.

Yup, first thing I did was to head there and toggle gesture typing. No luck there and no idea how it got broken as it stopped working after the OTA update.

Locking screen without pressing power button

As title, there is any way to lock the screen without pressing the power button?
I used to lock the screen with fingerprint sensor on my old Moto G5 Plus but on this Zenfone 6 i still couldn't figure out a way to lock it without pressing the on/off button. Besides not being so practical it will wear the button faster and we all know how things are made today... to not last.
You can set double tap on status bar to sleep. Works good enough.

Thanks, i had a new look and i found the setting under gestures. I was missing it because i think theres a issue with the translation to Portuguese. On the quick description it says something like "Double tap to activate LCD".

How can i set double tap on status bar to sleep? Can't seem to find this options. Thanks in advance
It's enabled by default, there is no dedicated settings. Once enabled double tap in settings, double tapping on status bar will turn off the screen.
You can double tap anywhere to lock your device, not only on status bar. The area you tap must be empty (icon free). I keep the center of the home screen empty for convenience.

Question Stop notification page

How do you stop the notification page from coming up when you touch the power button?

You mean the lock screen? You can disable that in Settings. It's under, as you might expect, Lock screen.
I don't think it is the lock screen. It has a bunch of icons across the top and a brightness slider

That status bar? Slide it back up.
Settings -> Advanced settings -> Side key
I don't see anything in side key settings to affect that.
Motions and gestures > Finger sensor gestures?
Looks like that did it. Thanks!
What a strange, useless feature...

Way to add flashlight to lockscreen or gestures?

As title says. I have been looking all over to do this somehow on my note20 ultra, and None of what I have come across works.
There is a preselected list of widgets to add to lock screen, cannot add anything new.
And same with the gestures.
Is there just No way of doing this either of those ways, or am I missing something?
1. As of saying about gestures for flashlight in samsung,
There is a way to turn on flashlight by press and hold power bottom and then click on side key settings<open app< torch, that will enable you to turn on flashlight by clicking two times 'power bottom'.
But you have to be quick in clicking and just two times click.
If you click three times that will call emergency number of your reign.
2. In the case of lock screen:-
-> Swipe down with fingers then click on settings icon,
-> Swipe down and look for lock screen, click on it,
-> Swipe all the way down and click on shortcuts,
-> Turn it on if its off,
-> Then choose which side you want, to open flashlight,
-> Choose torch.
This will enable you to turn on flahlight by swiping in any direction from torch icon.

Neither of those methods are working for me. Double clicking the power button ooens the camera.
Power + middle is screenshot.
Power + top does nothing.
For the lock screen. I dint have any optio. For shortcuts. The screenshot shiws all thats available to try and change anyrhing available there.
After messing around with it. I remembered womthing about changing the side key functions. I was able to change the double click for camera to make it open flashlight instead.
Thank you for the help
1. Again hold power botton and than click on side key settings< click on open apps and then click on settings icon on the right side of open apps choose torch (first app).
