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

Android 4.4.3 wishlist

I just got my Nexus 5 with Android 4.4 and shortly thereafter I got the OTA for 4.4.2. Everything is running smooth, but I feel like there are a few features missing.
So I started this thread to talk about what features people want in the 4.4.3 update.
Let me know what you want.
Here are mine:
1. Sound/Vibrate/Silent toggle in the quick settings panel.
2. Flashlight toggle in the quick settings panel.
3. "Quick settings bar" at the top of the notification pull down.
4. Ability to customize the quick settings panel and "quick settings bar"

I miss the notifications from locksrceen like in gingerbread days.

ok
why dont you root phone and install custom rom it will give u all u want

I'm sure all of the OEM software people are diligently watching this thread.

[Q] Lollipop rom with immersive mode

Hi!
With the myriad of Lollipop roms I haven't been able to find if there's a rom with partial immersive mode like ParanoidAndroid on KK.
I need partial so the navbar hides automatically while the statusbar remains visible..navbar can be pulled up with a swipe-up from the bottom of the screen
Is there a rom with this exact function built in, or a way to enable it?
Thanks!

I didn't find any ROM, but you can get this app which can do the exact same thing you want:

Have fun and enjoy

Thank you very much!!

Euphoria has it. Both in per app mode and a quick setting toggle. CM12 has it as a per app setting.

App that will give me one touch Location services Quick Setting tile on Nougat

All I want is a QS tile that one touches for location (and only high accuracy). Both nougat roms that I like for the Moto X Pure (Resurrection remix and CRdroid), neither have this, I have to manually toggle off location after hitting the QS button.
I tried the app Custom Quick Settings, it seemed promising, but alas I can't get it to work right. When trying to make a one click location QS, I can get it, but I don't want to cycle through the different stages, I just want high accuracy, so I delete the other tasks, and keep high accuracy and disable, well the disable defaults to GPS only for some reason, so I fix that to turn off location, doesn't always work. Some times I have to hit the tile two or three times to get it to do what I want it to do and other times it does nothing.
Anyone know an app out there that gives me this?

[Night Mode] as it should be on OOS with a new QS Tile, Root and Kcal required

Hi all.
OnePlus Night mode is a bit off the standard as some of us have been reporting for a long time.
I have been struggling with it since day one. To green (i see a lot of users saying to yellow) for me.
This does not Fix the One Plus Night Mode, it adds a new QS Tile you can use instead.
With this new QS Tile you will get the Amber Night Mode you see on AOSP Roms.
Root is mandatory.
You need a kernel with Kcal support (If you know me you know what i use already, if not it's on my Signature, if you are on XDA Labs and can't see it i always use blu_spark kernel).
Kernel Adiutor is not mandatory but is the app i use to check if it's all as should be.
QuickTile Quick Settings 7+ is the app i use for the "new" Night Mode QS Tile.
Now the fun:
Open Quick Tile and give the App root permissions when asked.
1 - Change the QS icon to the White half Moon icon, Change the name to Night Mode (The icon and name can be adjusted to your personal taste)
2 - Click the "+" button, select "LAB", select "send ROOT Shell command and insert:
Code:
echo '256 256 256' > /sys/devices/platform/kcal_ctrl.0/kcal
Hit OK, this is the normal state of QS Tile (disabled state).
3 - Hit the "Gear icon" and choose Add Cycle (Previous state will vanish, we are now making the enabled Night mode state of the same QS Tile)
4 - Change the QS icon to the Grey half Moon icon, Change the name to Night Mode (The icon and name can be adjusted to your personal taste)
5 - Click the "+" button, select "LAB", select "send ROOT Shell command and insert:
Code:
echo '256 155 61' > /sys/devices/platform/kcal_ctrl.0/kcal
Hit OK, this is the actual Night Mode state of QS Tile (enabled state).
6 - Hit the "Play button" to see the night mode Kick in.
7 - Go to your QS, edit them and add the new Night Mode QS Tile you just created to the QS panel. You can ditch the old one.
All done. Enjoy the Night mode on OOS as it should have been implemented in the first place.
This works on Stable and OB OOS. You need to disable the automatic Night Mode if you are on OB or it will override this one.
OP3/3T are on par on such matter, it works for both devices.

Nice, will give it a try. I also dont understand what was oneplus idea by adding this greenish night mode. It hurts my eyes and i never use it

Thanks for this!
I noticed with ex kernel manager that each switch between regular and nightmode will increase the values for "value" and "contrast" by one step.
Depending on how often you do this, the colors will look noticeably different eventually.

I have tested it quite extensively with Kernel Adiutor.
Can't seem to reproduce it.
127 is the value for both "value" and "contrast" on both Night Mode and Stock Mode.
Try to disable ExKernel Manager and use KA to check after a few ON/OFF cycles of Night Mode.
The only parameter of Kcal I touch with those commands is "Screen color" which changes RGB.
They cycle as supposed on my end.
Other values are untouched and are reported as untouched on Kernel Adiutor App.
Feel free to give me feedback on this matter. I find that a bit strange.

@Chaplan
Works great with EX kernel and OB14 on OP3. Thanks for this. :good:
Edit: Also configured Tasker for automatic Night Mode

Hey just followed your tutorial and created the tile and tested with play button but I am unable to add the tile to the qs panel. I am able to drag the 'Quicktile' tile to half way and it disappears. Not sure it's rom issue or app. So can you help me out?

It's pretty straight forward.
Never encountered that issue.
Try to add it to the middle panel and then to the top panel where the QS Tiles get activated.
Also giving auto start permissions to the app and removing it from agressive Doze and app hibernation list will make it perform on an immediate basis when the QS is pressed.

Tried them and still doesn't work. But thinking that I am using ozone substratum theme for 4QS tiles. This might be the reason for not able to add tiles.?
Will check that also.
Thank you for the response:good:
