It's not missing... It's there and should give you a lock icon in the status bar when you add a new device.... i'm gonna go digging right now to see if i can find where to manually add.
Its' under settings-> security-> smart lock
Though it's easier to add when adding a new device

Actually, that's where it was missing from. I just stumbled upon how to get it to show:
Go to Settings->Security->Trust Agents
Toggle 'Smart Lock (Google)' to On
The menu option now displays.

Hi, i currently have a nexus 5 rootrd with CyanogenMod 11. When i press the unlock button on my nexus i have a pin so it comes up with the keypad. Is there anyway to change this so it doesn't come up with thr keypad by default?
Any help would be appreciated!

What do you want it to be? The slider?
Some ROMs have an option to show the slider on a secure lockscreen. Can't remember if CM does.

Settings, (Personalization) Lock Screen, Screen Lock, put PIN in, choose Pattern. If you use an Exchange e-mail account this will be disabled due to Exchange policy.

If it's in the rom its usually in settings > Security and there should be an option, something like "show slider before secure unlock".

Hello guys,
There's something in the GS6 that bugs me out : I'm unable to use the quick settings on my lockscreen. I mean, when I toggle WiFi, bluetooth or anything, it asks me to unlock my phone. I don't know if I'm just missing something, I'd just like to be able to toggle settings without having to enter a password / using a fingerprint, then locking the phone back, just to disable WiFi.
Thanks,
Kindly.

Unfortunately having a security option such as pin/fingerprint will stop you from making changes from the lockscreen directly without confirming the change by entering your pin or fingerprint. I'm not sure if there are any mods which would disable this as it is a security feature.
Good Lock

I wasn't aware of its existence ! I've looked into it and I got the same problem. But I think you're right, enabling these settings could be a security flaw.
Thanks anyway

Update : Funny enough, with the last Nougat update, quick settings are entirely accessible on the lockscreen
Hey all, since we don't have root or custom ROM's yet, what are some of the must have apps to add additional functionality you find missing from your favourite roms? Things like additional tiles for the notification tray, etc. I'm looking for whatever you can't live without!
@mikeandjaimie
Immersive mode is cool,especially for video/games:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/razer-phone/how-to/tip-immersive-mode-root-required-t3714812
An Ad blocker is #1 on my list,whether rooted or not.
For unrooted,I go with Block-This:
https://block-this.com/
Real easy to use:
1) Choose whether to have auto-start on boot
2) Whitelist on a per-app basis

You don't need an application for this. You can simple just unlock system UI Tuner
Bring down notifications. Long press the settings icon. You will now have access to system UI tuner
Thanks .now I done it . Every day you learn something new

Holding on the settings icon does nothing for me. As soon as I let go it just loads the normal settings menu.

Are you sure you're bringing down the notification center from the status bar?
Bring that down and hold onto the top right settings icon. You have to hold down for 5 seconds

Yes, that's what I do. The phone vibrates but nothing happens.
I'm on UK 3 branded, so maybe it's been disabled in some way.

Didn't open anything but "settings" for me but then when I scroll down the menu ,it is above "about phone" and below "developer options"
Also I noticed my settings icon also has a wrench on it. I held it again and turned it off just to test, then I was able to turn it back on and even got a toast pop-up saying congrats it's enabled...

Nope. It works for me im using the three branded. When it vibrated there should be a toast notification saying its active. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the settings and there should be an option called system ui
How many of you have tried out the new accessibility button on android pie? Once enabled, it adds a new button on the navigation bar by using which you can get access to a few shortcuts which are really awesome and much needed (See the screenshot below).
Steps to enable:
Settings>Accessibility>Accessibility menu>Enable "Use Service".
Try it, if you haven't already.
Its awesome

Very good idea buuuuuuut.
Look what happens if you use a large font and display like I have to. Totally missed the point of it!!!!!
Every now and then I'll see a stick figure icon on the left side of my status bar by the clock and on the lock screen/aod in a bubble.
when I unlock the phone or pull down the notification panel any info disappears.
Anyone know what this little guy is for and how to get rid of him?
and the screenshot is.................? kinda hard to help if we don't see what it is..
The only icon I can think of that resembles a stick figure is the SMART THINGS icon.

It;s a stick figure, like the stick figure that was coming up on peoples nav bar on 8's and 9's for accessibility settings
it looks JUST LIKE THIS ONE IN THE PINK CIRCLE without the dots under it but its a icon by the clock
When you need a hug. Push this. That makes you more accessible.
here are screeenshots, I got it in action.
It has something to do with one of the apps I enabled in accessibility mode.
Anyway to stop the "check access settings" little guy notification from coming up

If you tap on the icon and bring up that app's notification settings, there may be an option to never notify for accessibility notifications.

What is the widget/notification app are you using for the battery and clock, and how did you get the refresh rate on the notification panel?

Thanks, no clue then. It must be one of the apps, maybe the Galaxy HZ app having access to screen as it shows the stick figure in the notification as well. Check the app in Accessibility settings and try disabling it.
Also, what is the other app with moon and glowing clock? (screenshot attached)..looks cool

Weather neon, TONS of customizations for it, from dozens of widgets of all sizes down to changing colors of every piece individually.
that's just the notification one I liked but there are a ton more, and a big main one with different clocks
it's worth checking out, some stuff is iffy with it tho

My stickfig has a purpose, I can dim the screen at night or brighten it up. The icon comes up when you slide out the 'stick'. You can park this feature anywhere, to enable go to 'visibility enhancements' >>'extra dim'(screenshot is from S22)
So I'm guessing you can disable your stick figure somewhere there as well.
