[Q] Baked Blackbean 7 - Brightness Slider Option

I flashed Baked Blackbean 7 last evening. Everything appears to be working fine, so thanks to the devs for a good AOSP 4.2 rom!
I do miss the brightness slider on the notification page though. I see an option under statusbar settings called "statusbar brightness slider". I've tried turning this on and off, but don't see any change. The description is "whether the statusbar brightness slider is on when you slide across the statusbar".
Does anyone know what this option does? It'd be nice if it was a quick screen brightness control.

from your home screen, press the status bar. slide left for dim, right for brighter.
it takes a few times to get used to it.

Ok, that's what I thought. The problem I was having is that I had auto brightness on.
Just like the slider in notifications in TW, you have to have auto brightness off for the slider to have any effect.
Thanks for the quick response!

np, glad you got it squared away.

Torch (or at least Notification toggles) from lockscreen?

Is there a mod I can flash to allow the notification shade from the lockscreen? Would be nice to access Torch without having to unlock my device...
EDIT: I should point out that I don't use the lockring, and I like how 4.4 eliminates the lockring if you use a PIN for security.
EDIT 2: Even a (gigantic) Torch widget for the lockscreen would be acceptable.

So you're not able to pull down notifications or toggles from your lockscreen? By default you're able to but maybe not once you've set a password. There are many flashlight/torch widgets however.

There is a mod for Xposed called Notification Mod that enables you to pull down your notifications shade when you have a PIN lock. Couple that with the torch quick settings tile from GravityBox and you'll be good to go.

i use widgetsoid to add a torch toggle widget to the lockscreen, and i've just set my unlock to be pin rather than slide and it still shows up, so that might be worth looking into

We have a winner! This thing is perfect. Completely minimalist, it's just a small, or medium, or huge plain flat holo-style icon as a widget on the lockscreen. In all sizes, it's centered. Tap it and the LED goes on, tap it again and the LED goes off. Couldn't have asked for a better solution. And to think, I was just about to spend hours trying to figure out what the heck "Xposed framework" is and what ROMs it's compatible with and how to use it, just to get a flashlight on the lockscreen.
How is this not a feature in every ROM yet???

Status bar brightness slider

Hello, I'm looking for a mod that adds the option of setting brightness by sliding across the status bar. To clarify, this is not the same as a brightness slider in the notification panel. You literally slide on the status bar with out having to pull anything down first. It's a crucial feature for me since I go in and out of the Sun a lot during the day. Thanks!
Viper ROM has it as an option so I know it is compatible with Sense roms. I'm running CleanRom now.
Tried GravityBox xposed module and it has the option but when I enable it, it doesn't actually go into effect...

Are you running the Kitkat version of it? Also you shouldn't even need to do this, the auto screen brightness adjustment on this phone is quite good and should adjust it properly for you even quicker than the status bar slider mod you're looking for can.

Yes, I was using KitKat version. The JB version won't even install on a KK phone...
I'd use Auto Brightness if I could set the lower limit to go all the way down to 0% but I can't find settings to customize that. Do you know an Xposed module that can?

In case you were wondering how to set the maximum automatic brightness level
A Google Search:
From the Home screen, tap > Settings > Display & gestures or Display, gestures & buttons. With the Automatic brightness option selected, drag the slider to set the maximum brightness level. This sets a limit on how bright the screen will be when Automatic brightness is selected.

Great answers.
How can one add this feature?

Issues with G3 Tweakbox

Having issues with the tweakbox.
When I enable it in xposed and activate any Mod (whichever) I get the permanent volume slider on the notification screen. If I go and edit quick settings, the option to show/hide brightness and volume sliders is no longer there. In the tweakbox there's an option to hide the sliders but it's greyed out and cannot be toggled.
Also in the tweakbox, there's an option to center the clock on the status bar. I select it but it doesn't do anything. All other mods seem to work.
Anyone able to help?

Have you looked to see if the setting that's a few under the brightness and volume slider settings in tweaksbox called "Toggle sliders with settings button" is checked? Just try long pressing the little settings icon in the top right of your notification shade, it should hide or show both sliders. That option grays out the manual option to enable or disable those sliders, however.

I have actually. Still nothing

Try to clear your cache and data.. (This would be Settings, Apps, All apps.. select G3 TweaksBox).. then you see those options.. Good luck :fingers-crossed::good:
This could also be because you probably need to donate/purchase the app to enjoy FULL access

Invert colors toggle won't show up when I swipe down to open quick settings

My nexus 5 is stock and is running marshmallow. I got system tuner settings to show up , when I make adjustments to have invert colors toggle apart of my quick setting , it doesn't show up when i swipe down to open quick settings. Id like to have my settings dark theme.
Also does Doze activate by itself or do I have to activate it ?
