Customize toggles in notification bar

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,
xSliv3r

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?

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

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

Custom Quick Settings.

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

Using Xposed with Stock Rooted Kitkat?

Has anyone tried it out yet? I'm currently make a nandroid before taking the plunge.
I want to try and use GravityBox to get a more custom-y experience. It's not AOSP, but this version of blur is pretty close.
I'll report back here with any bugs/bootloops/explosions. Anyone who has any experience using xposed and stock (4.1 or 4.4) feel free to chime in.
Update 1: GravityBox running nearly flawlessly. Only issue is that the wifi icon in the quicksettings box has disappeared. Very minor.

FYI -- You wont be able to run in ART mode

That's correct - and precisely why I don't use ART yet.

Xposed runs just fine under Dalvik setting. No issues and works great.
As for the WiFi icon, I found if you switch the settings for "Tiles per row" from 3 to 4 or 5, you can see the top of it. It appears there might be an issue with how it's positioned when you have the setting set to 3. I've tried switching back and forth between 3, 4 and 5 and back to 3 and for some reason, when it's just 3 tiles per row, the icon is missing.
If you do attempt to switch to ART with Xposed installed, Xposed will set you back to Dalvik because otherwise, you'll go into a nasty bootloop that would require you to flash back to stock. That's nice that the dev did that.
ART is great. I ran with it for awhile, but found that a few apps I had didn't work with it, so I'm back to Dalvik, which still runs pretty darned good under KK, much better than it did under JB.

Interesting about the icon... hard to tell if it's a GravityBox or Moto. Hopefully it's GB then we can hope for a fix somewhere down the road.
Day 2 running the modules, no slow downs/crashes detected.

Considering all the other icons shows up (and if you switch from 3 to 4 or 5 icons per row, you can see part of the WiFi icon), I would say it's GB.

Gravitybox works great except for some bugs:
In 4.1.2 (9.30.1), if you change the statusbar colors, the Wifi icon shifts left to right during data activity.
In KK, quicksettings does not display the Wifi and Mobile data (Cell signal) tiles correctly. The icons appear off the tiles in 3 tiled rows, and partially cutoff in 4 tiled rows. In 4 tiled rows, the only the top two bands of the wifi icon are visible. As for the Mobile Data (Cell signal) tile, the top part of icon is obscured and the bottom is out of frame. Only these 2 tiles in quick settings exhibit issues.

I have been using xposed on the kk update for about a week. So far everything I have tried works. I just wish gravitybox could remove the dots from lock pattern.... I have to download xblast for that and I don't like having multiple apps that do the same things... Always causes the phone to slow down...

Never stopped using Xposed after the KK update. Never had an issue.

I just changed so that:

and wifi tile looks as expected.

[Q] Menu bar background in 4.4.4 KitKat issue

Not sure how to best describe this, but take a look at this screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/GMXfeMf.png
Shown is the background on my menu bar, with "less" of an opaque overlay from my main wallpaper. This issue started up today, and I am not sure what is causing it.
I am on 4.4.4 KitKat, with Xposed Framework, and menu tweaks via GravityBox disabled.

what launcher are you using?

Nova. Sorry that I forgot to mention that.

By menu bar, do you mean navigation bar? And less opaque, meaning more transparent?

Took the words out of my mouth. That's exactly what's going on, via my screenshot.

I don't see any navigation bar options in Nova Launcher, so I am unsure how it would be affecting this. Nova has had no recent updates that I can recall, and the issue was not occurring 48 hours ago.

Nova has been updated twice this week. The 2nd one was a bug fix.
Its not down to settings but the launcher needs to support the transparency of the navbar for KitKat. I remember it being added to nova last year. So yeah - try a different launcher first and see if the issue goes away. If it does, contact Kevin.

Thank you for the reply.
I switched back to stock Google GEL launcher, and the issue remains. This is when I am switching over to the Google Now home page, you can even more clearly see the menu buttons with a different transparency: http://i.imgur.com/GsRlAV2.png

Looked into the settings of app Lux, there is an option of Advanced -> Miscellaneous -> Use alternative overlay. Enabling this fixed the issue.
I guess some new feature of Lux is not working well with the menu bar.

So there won't be any problem if I want to bring back the navbar?

Actually, I liked the navigation bar because of Accessibility Menu button.
However, Back button is too far.
When I want to press the Back button in the navigation bar, my thumb cannot reached it.
So, I decided to use Fluid Navigation Gestures, with only Right edge action enabled.

Do you experiencing any bugs with Fluid? When I enabled Fluid and hide the nav bar, my notifications seems buggy. For example my incoming whatsapp notification still there even I already read it

This happens to me too. Also when I open chrome or YouTube I get a glitchy black screen for a fraction of a second.

worked perfectly on Mi A2 Lite Pie, thanks man.

Why would you want to install those two apps mentioned? Vivid NG app alone has the option to hide nav bar completely just with ADB permissions.

Yep, I've been experiencing the same glitch for a couple of months. You can fix this by ticking the "disable hw overlays" in developer options, but this weakens your battery life a little bit. So far I haven't found any other solutions to this but it is pissing me off. I don't like vivid ng or any other gestures app, fluid ng is by far my favourite.
