[Q] Need more setting in Notification bar. - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I was wondering if we can have more settings like the screen rotation and other toggle buttons in the Notification pulldown bar after clicking settings icon. Not sure is there a settings for it I have looked all over. My wife has HTC one and I really love the settings under notification bar but in my Nexus 5 it doesn't show other settings. Thanks you all guys.

Rooted? = Xposed Framework + Gravity Box
Not Rooted? = Power Toggles (in the Play Store)
For the future, please post questions in the Q&A Forum. This has been asked before there. It's as easy as performing a quick search. I'm sure you would find the answer.

+1 for GravityBox. At this point I can't imagine not having GB. I use Xposed + GB on all of my devices. No need for custom ROMs anymore.

+1 for Xposed Framework with GravityBox!

GravityBox doesn't drain battery except for like 3 people and none of them contributed to the resolution of the "problem"
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

What was the resolution? It caused me drain but that was quite a while ago though
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

There's an app called Power Toggles that will do so as well.

GravityBox does not drain the battery, there's no way. It doesn't run in the background, it only runs when you configure it. It must have been something else that caused your battery drain.

I was getting high Android usage in the battery stats with it installed. No idea why, but it went away uninstalled

And then there were 4.
Never had battery drain with GB. And if I did I would have gotten a log or ran the adb top command to get the bottom of it.
good day.

Take a look at MoreQuicklyPanel. Sounds like it will do exactly what you're wanting. Works great on stock device. No need to root.
This app is among my top 10 "must have" apps.

Nope. Wondering if this is even possible considering how long it's taking for a module to be available. I would actually pay to have this.

It's an easy edit if you have the ability to de/recompile framwork-res.apk. Edit is here \framework-res.apk\res\values\integers.xml.
Stock:
Code:
<integer name="config_defaultNotificationLedOn">1000</integer>
<integer name="config_defaultNotificationLedOff">9000</integer>
I edit mine to this timing:
Code:
<integer name="config_defaultNotificationLedOn">1750</integer>

It's a little clunky. Some bugs, not to mention possible battery drains etc. Native solutions are better.
One of the main reason why I ROM is to avoid having to use LF.

I have none of those problems personally. Plus the LED customizations in most ROMs are not as complete as Lightflow.
Oh and it allows me to have Dashclock entries for apps that don't have extensions (e.g. AOSP email app). This is actually the main reason I use Lightflow.
I just found out there is a Modul available for changing LED:

I'm not sure if this is what you're lookin' for but , in GravityBox in "Display tweaks" there's an "option for controlling pulse notification light delay (frequency)"

You actually do have some of these problems, but you don't realize it. There's no battery drain issue, bnut there are definitely bugs in it, that are due to Android's handling of the LED.
1. Rapid blinking of multiple colors when turning screen off -- this happens often, but is by design. I've spoken with the developer and he said there's several situations where Android will screw up the handling of the LED blinking and end up permanently blinking until you restart. Part of the fix for this is to rapidly blink a bunch of colors, which takes care of the issue. This doesn't occur every single time you turn the screen off, but it does happen often. You probably just haven't noticed it, and that's the point -- it's avoiding an annoying bug.
2. Blinking randomly when there is no notification --- this is still a problem, but has been mitigated a good bit over the past few updates. The phone sometimes will just blink for absolutely no reason at all. No notifications, etc, but it'll blink.
Those are the 2 main issues. It also tends to crash on occasion, but again the latest version has fixed/improved that issue.

Again, I have never had these 2 issues. You said #1 happens often, then it probably isn't often enough for me. I always have the phone in front of me and I rarely restart my phone so if it did happen, I would have noticed it.
How many apps do you enable in Lightflow? If you have many pending notifications from many apps at the same time, then I can see how it could potentially mess up. I'm letting Lightflow control the LED for 4 apps only (Hangout, Gmail, Email, Whatsapp).
Light manager is a fine alternative to light flow. I am using it for a few weeks now and it fits my needs.

That looks like an awesome app. But WTF is with the music they put in the promo video haha
These look ok, but they don't seem to have pocket mode as well like Mahdi rom does...
And they're not the same. The notifications don't start as icons on the right that you can slide to view.
Use Mahdi ROM, or even AOSPAL. Even the other Roms with it as well, because I don't think you will find an app with the exact look, or pocket mode at all. It's seems to be more of an Internal type of feature.

Barely any, only about 1-3% from a 100% charge to 5%.
The Gravity Screen app in the Play Store is similar but works slightly differently, you can use that if your ROM doesn't have pocket mode.

I know that Carbon, Paranoid Saberdroid and Mahdi ROM has it, along with lockscreen notifications. Also, note that the battery drain that Gravity Screen would show is negligible across time (most I ever saw is 5% from a 100% charge), but if you check your battery only after a short period of a few minutes it'll appear to use around 25% battery, so don't worry if it appears to use a lot in the first few minutes. Also recommend to have Wake by motion and Keep screen on by motion turned off.

Yes it has but I've tried it and it does not catch all notifications for me. And when clicking some notifications it would stay at the lockscreen so I would have to manually unlock after pressing the notification. It worked very inconsistent for me. Worked much better when I was using the Mahdi-rom.

[Q] Xposed framework battery drainage

Hi i have a nexus 5 rooted on the stock rom and when i install the xposed frame work i have significant idle drain even when i have no moduels enabled. if any one knows what could be causing this please let me know thanks.
What do the battery stats show?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
its the same as when i dont have it enabled. only with alot more battery drain not really much out of the ordianary in the battery stats
Well I would remove the framework and see if it goes back to normal. It might be a coincidence, you could have a bad signal or something. The framework doesn't change my battery life at all

I dont know really its kinda weird because when i uninstall it,it goes back to normal and as soon as i enable it the intense battery drain starts again

How many times have you tried it? I would download GSam or BBS. These are battery stat apps that can help detect where the drain is coming from.
ive tried it a few times now with same result
Gsam and screen shots. Will be much easier to help you.
What Xposed modules do you use?
I can't see how framework would drain battery on it's own.

Persistantly on screen the little up arrow stays over my home button so I can't use it whatsoever. Sometimes if I reboot it will go away for a short time, otherwise it's always there. I thought it may be from gravitybox but I wasn't sure. Any help would be appreciated!!

I have the exact same problem. Glad I'm not the only one who's going crazy with this thing.
I pretty much have your exact same set-up. I disabled Notification Mod last night to see if that is the problem but that damn little arrow keeps popping back up over the home button.
I have no idea how to fix this either.
Same issue... but no resolution...
Honestly it's been so long I don't remember, but somehow I fixed it! I think I red lashed my rom, removing GravityBox beforehand, and reinstalling it, only enabling things I knew I needed. Haven't had issues since. Weird issue though

[Q] Too much battery drain from xposed..

So I got the closed framework and downloaded gravity box, knock code, and app ops. While the phone was fully charged and on standby it turned from 100 to 75% in a couple hours on standby. And while using thenphone there was too much battery drain. Does anyone know from which this happens (I think GB) but please share.
PS. Before applying I would get 20h+ of battery on low to medium usage.
Doesn't knock code need the digitiser to be powered up even when the screen is off?
Try disabling each module one by one until they are all disabled to see what happens.
Please do not post questions in general. Post them in Q&A. You put a [Q] in your thread title so you should know where this thread belongs

The Knock Code drains your battery. It requires the digitizer to be constantly on, thus the drain.

The knock code module just replaces the pattern lock. It doesn't keep the digitizer on like the LG G3. Doesn't work when the screen is off.
Sent from my Nexus 5
Battery drain rates are very dependent on usage patterns and sometimes the most insignificant settings changes can lead to well hidden sources of current consumption.
So my advise is to try to remember if you made any changes in your applications or usage patterns right before or after starting to use Xposed, as your answer my lie there.
Also try to identify if the high drain occurs from Xposed itself or one of the modules, by deactivating and/or uninstalling modules and Xposed. Please be very careful that usage patterns might easily tip your conclusions off.
To somehow prove what I'm saying here, I've noticed that on a high usage day, my N5 can last as low as only 8-10 hours on a charge, while on a low usage day, after 12 hours since unplugging, it still has at least 80% of the original charge.
Have a nice day!

I guess it is on the LG G3, but on that device it can also be used when the screen is on, as a lock screen method, which is what the module emulates.
