[Q] Swicthing between the Status bars - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

OK when you pull down your status bar, you can sometimes (on some roms) swipe to the right or left on a blank spot and it will switch over to the Quick Tiles pulldown.
I have tried looking everywhere that lets me turn it on, or a Xposed module, etc.
I have no idea what it is really called. Anyone know/can help?
Roms that have it.

Roms that don't
Stock Roms, etc.
Thanks again for any info as this is bugging me.

But that only lets you from pulldown. I'm talking about when it is already pulled down. You swipe (like you would to clear a notification) on a empty spot and it takes you to quick tiles, and vise versa.

Oh right. It doesn't have a name. I don't know anyway to get this without flashing a rom to get it

Damn... that's the last thing that's driving by ocd crazy... My favorite rom doesn't have that and I have no idea what it's called or how to add it.

On the stock ROM, when you pull down the status bar, the icon on the right side top allows you to toggle between notifications screen and the quick tiles. Are you looking for that, but with a swipe instead? (if so, why not just click that icon instead? Saves you a swipe)

The swipe is good an easy. I missed it. The icon is just a bit too far away. Glad I have it in slim

My right thumb can barely move due to a injury. So swiping helps quite a lot.

ok, make sense

[Q] Hidden tricks

OK so while playing with my cell I found out that if you hold down where the status bar pops up and slide your finger left or right it adjust the brightness level, just like sliding the bar in the settings menu.
So is this just in the Infinity ROM or a stock feature?
Has this been talked about before?
Is there any other little secrets like this?
Just wondering, lol. Yes its a boring Sunday.

Stock feature. Only works if auto-brightness is turned off.

Thanks for the info. I think I found out about it once before but forgot about it.
Stock feature. A couple more things:
1. back + home = screenshot
2. On the initial setup of the phone, where it says Welcome to Android with the Droid man (ie when you first install Infinity) you can fully bypass the setup by pressing all four corners counterclockwise, starting at the top right.

App Drawer Shortcut

I am using Apex launcher on Embryo.
Somehow I ended up with a blueish, half circle shaped tab on the left side of my homescreen. When I click on the half circle tab it opens a type of app drawer where I can vertically scroll through my apps.
I am not sure how it got there and I cant figure out how to turn it back off.
I know this is a stupid question but I cant figure it out! Hopefully someone can help me get rid of this thing.
Long press. Remove

Display settings and uncheck multi-window (I think, I remember it being there), or what xcrazydx says.

Nice app. Still a can be difficult to slide the bar out (especially since I have a case on my phone)... Maybe include configurable bar dimensions in the future.
That aside.. It works great. Would be cool to implement expanding notifications somehow
Didn't test it, but can we also change the side of the screen where I want to slide from to open it, can't have it on the left side because it's allready used by swapps and would take some time to get used to having it on the other side?
Also, while downloading a file the notification (the one on the top of screen) for the download repeats over and over.
I can install this apk

Pull down notification screen in lock screen

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.

Google Now Question

I've searched, and I can't find out how to turn off the google now option when holding the home button. It's annoying as hell, and I never use it. Is there something I'm missing?
Go to your apps and look for Google Settings. Tap on Search and Now. Drag the button to the off position and you're done.
If you're talking about the ring navigation thing, Gravity Box has mods for it that work on this device. You can change/add targets or disable the ring altogether
