I've noticed that Android 5.0 allows to change many system settings (enable/disable WiFi/BlueTooth/Autorotate/etc) on its Lock Screen without entering any password.
I hate this liberty.
Does anyone have any idea how to disable this feature?
I cannot find anything in settings.

I too cannot believe this was left as a feature... I was hoping that would be fixed in the final version.
Bump.
This is actually a security issue.

I agree but there's nothing in android. 3rd party lock screen is the only way.
a fix for this would be good, as anyone can just pick up your phone and change any of the quick settings without unlocking it.
So you would not be able to track the phone if it got nicked and someone just stuck it in airplane mode!

does it matter if airplane mode is in quick settings or the main setting? if they want to steal your phone and put it into airplane mode, they will do it regardless if its in quick settings or the main settings. its stuff that you yourself use often that will appear in quick settings. i personally think its a great feature.

But they should not be able to do it while the phone is locked. At very least we should have the option of what should be accessible without unlocking the phone.

even if they were not in the quick settings, you can still pull down the notification bar while in the lockscreen, and go into the main settings. so, everything there is available to any thief.

Heck, I'm not even worried about the security situation with this, I just want to disable it because I think it is extremely poorly executed!
It offers nothing that power toggles doesn't, and is not even configurable for what options are present. I never use auto-rotate, cast screen, invert colors, etc, and yet, those options are available instantly!

They can also just remove the sim card or turn it off.
What I am looking for, is for the only possible thing you can do, while the phone is locked, is enter the password. Is there a way to set that up? Not be able to toggle any settings at all or remove the quick settings(I am ok with the emergency calling and camera widget, since you can't access the pictures on the phone until entering the password). I know they could still remove the sim or power off the phone but at least it might buy some more time if your phone gets stolen for you to track it or snap a pic of the thief. It would be nice if you could also disable the power menu and volume buttons while on the lock screen.
For now, until other solution is found or developed, you can go to notification settings and in 'When device is locked' change the setting to 'Hide sensitive notification content'. This disables access to quick settings from the lock screen but also hides titles of notifications, so you will see the notifications for emails, texts etc., but their content will be hidden.
This doesn't work. Well, if you have root and xposed you can install "Advanced Power Menu" to control the power menu on lockscreen etc and with GravityBox you can control the items on the quick settings. But I still couldn't figure out a way to totally disable it on the lockscreen.
As I remember the "X posed" Module "Notification Mod" could do exactly this. Problem is: It seems that development is discontinued and the stable ver1.2 doesn't (on my lollipop custom rom) work on 5.x

I am seeing this in my new Samsung S7 edge... with finger print and password lock.... it is not there on S5 with finger print and password lock... its a silly feature... why would they turn it on ? My son just put my phone in airplane mode accidentaly.... and I kept wondering why no messages and calls for the whole weekend.... hate to think what it would be like if it happened to someone who was say, on a on-call emergency personnel or something like that.... no one would be able to reach out to them.... I guess now have to keep checking my phone every hour.... hahahaha... or maybe go back to using my S5.. if someone has a solution to this pls share... appreciate it.
No way to disable access to quiick settings on lock screen on unrooted Android M....
Try the Market anyway,
One solution for me on Android 6.01 was to disable WiFi, Bluetooth, Airplane Mode, Mobile Data from Quick Settings using Systen UI Tuner in Settings then downloaded Settings Extended app at the Market and moved all mentioned in SE's Notification Shortcut. Don't forget to enable "HIDE LOCK SCREEN NOTIFICATION" in Preferences which is the objective of all this anyway. So don't forget to ｃｌｉｃｋ this.
You can even disable everything in Quick Settings and instead put them all in SE Notification as Shortcuts. What's great about SE is that its Notification gets the icon color/shade/background color/color when toggled etc. perfectly in Android 6. Exactly the same. It looks like its really part of the Notification Screen except that there's that horizontal gap that separates the notifications and makes the screen fiddle faddle.
Try it anyway. It might be your only hope against lock screen vulnerability in unrooted Android 6.0 phones.

I have the same problem with my S7. Its weird that you cant change the wifi or bluetooth without unlocking the phone but when you select mobile data or airplane mode you can turn that off from the lockscreen so when your phone gets stolen, the thief can so easy turn that off that there is no way to trace your phone. Why do they even call this a smart phone while its so dumb?

I must apologise first, I’m not a nerdy-head about android, but I was thinking about my new phone (upgraded to A7) and your question is one that I sought out for answers.
In Nougat, I logged in as Guest and used a pin for the user so that a ‘guest’ can’t access the Guest account without my permission.
Then comes you’re question.
You can remove all the worrisome quick start icons from your quick settings (probably leave flashlight). Then use a 3rd party app (Notification Toggle is mine) which isn’t available to a user from a protected login.
As I’ve never had a lollypop viable phone I’m afraid another user might need to help you with a more detailed method for A5.
Hope it helps somewhat. As an old 8080 machine code programmer, it was always about solving problems and then working the bugs out. I'm not even sure how to post on these - socially thingy’s.
This issue it's still there in Nougat, so before it is passed on to Android O, we have to POPULARIZE this issue so they(Android developers) know how big of a pain in the ass it is. I'm posting the complaints to every forum, magazine, fan page, etc. When it's on the social media, they have to do something. This issue has survived because people don't want their friends to know about it, coz it's partly embarrassing...
I have version 5.0.1 with pattern lock, with the apps Lockwatch & Smart Lockscreen Protector.
But it's useless when anyone can just access the quick settings from the lockscreen and switching off Wifi/Data or turning on airplane mod..
There is any way to block access to this toggles? Or even to the whole Quick Settings?
I can live without access to the flashlight in lockscreen if that a problem..

Wrong section bro, post in Q&A, by the way, why would you bother someone disconnecting your wifi and Bluetooth, they can't turn on 4g and all that things which cost money in monthly plan.
One scenario comes in mind. When you lose your phone and want to use device manager to find the phone. If someone stole your phone, can easily put it in airplane mode so you can't locate it
Wonder why Google can miss this. Just like screen still turn on when on pocket with ambient display ON.
If you unlocked, you can try Cataclysm or N5X. Both has option to disabled it. Hope this help.
Slimlp also has this. Stock, no
Im unlocked, but "clean" rooted (stock rom+recovery+kernel with cf-auto root).
Since google added SELinux at enfoce mod by default in Lollipop (which avoids OTA installing at any state of Root), i'm considring to install a custom room.
But if to be honest, I really don't want to (I hate to mess around with all that thanks the crappy Galaxy S3 I had.. I bought the Nexus 5 in thought I could stay with stock+OTA and enjoy "clean" root+Xposed.. Apparently Google had other plans )
So if someone have an idea to avoid access to wifi/data/aiplane mod toggles from lockscreen, I will be happy to hear.

As already stated, only with custom ROM. There is no other answer.

Anyone can press the power button on your phone too.
Quick access to the radios is useful.
Until 4.2/4.2.2 anyone could just connect a cable to your phone and use ADB to pull everything off.
Don't give your phone to strangers or place in unsafe places.

None of this is possible with a locked screen. Accessing the radios on a locked screen can prevent you tracking it. Sure, like you say, it can be turned off not another issue is accessing the guest account and installing malicious apps and making calls. Bit of a security hole if you ask me.

Not with a recovery lock and locked bootloader. At least my data is safe. Whats wrong with wanting a safe phone? Why have a lock at all if it can be semi-bypassed by quick settings.
You're right though, would be nice of TWRP also had recovery lock. At least we still have philz for now.
But yeah, I can get YOUR data no matter what you do, even after factory reset, but doesn't mean everyone can.
Its kind of like say "dont bother locking your doors because we can break your windows". We all still lock our doors.
I also think that this is a very serious issue.
When I lock my phone I want it to be locked completely not partially.
Have anyone figured how to disable quick access on locked screen (locked with password, pin or pattern)?
And also to remove camera icon?
The only thing i want on my lock screen is to enter my password and see notifications (this is something I am able to do alredy =))
Thank you!
I am hoping on an xposed module :angel:

The 'Quick settings' menu can be edited - when the phone is unlocked open quick settings panel and tap and hold any of its icons, you will be allowed to remove or add some functionalities. Just remove 'airplane mode' and 'mobile data'. This way when the phone is locked no one can disable its connectivity.
The drawback is that you can't switch the airplane mode easily even when the phone is unlocked.
Hey,I came from an M8 where there was a tab on the quick setting to edit the order of the settings when the notification bar is two finger swiped. How do we do that in marshmallow?
I think you are referring the "System UI Tuner" feature of Marshmallow. I tried to activate it, without any luck. Maybe HTC Sense disables it.
http://www.androidcentral.com/inside-marshmallow-system-ui-tuner
Just tried it, no luck either. There must be a work around.
No luck
I cannot get this to work. I have an A9 with Sprint. Developer options are on, animation is on, and I've tried every scenario in this thread. The main reason I'd like to change the quick settings menu is I see a security flaw (I'll call it). When the phone is locked, whenever you wake the screen you can still pull down the quick settings menu. So if my phone gets stolen someone can turn off my mobile data and/or Wi-Fi. Problem then is I am not able to lock, wipe, or locate my device. This obviously has to be an oversight on Google but I'm sure it'll be addressed someday
SystemUI Tuner is NOT on the Sprint A9 at least if not missing on all.
I'd suggest reaching out to @moversi and JasonMac at HTC regarding this, as it doesn't line up with their press to bring a more slim sense and stock Android here.
In my opinion HTC has been faulty for awhile at removing bone stock Android features, all of which should be present on the A9 with its slimmer sense.
-MultiUser support
-Ambient Display(have Amoled screen now)
-SystemUI Tuner
-Adaptive Sound I believe is another
HTC did a great job at enhancing Android for many years but now Android has evolved to the point where we are seeing stock features removed completely.
Hopefully they address this, but it's not likely unless they hear the outcry as things like multiuser have been absent for a long long long time on Sprint at least.

That figures, thanks for letting me know this so I'm not going crazy anymore. Would I have this option if I root the phone? I'm really leaning towards rooting (as soon as Marshmallow is figured out) so simple things like this are possible.
Hey guys, I'm also really missing the quick settings editing feature. Is there an HTC support forum where we could bring out this issue?
I am Not sure if everyone has found this little feature yet, but it is pretty neat. On the menu drop down, press and hold the little gear icon (settings) until it starts spinning. Let go and now system UI tuner will be added to your menu. .
It allows for some pretty neat customizations

Do One Thing install Custom Quick Settings from the Play Store. You can customize the quick settings.
Damn shame Google nixed the Dark MM UI option they were working on for the System UI Tuner.
It was the only real tweak from this menu that I was looking forward to.
I really only stuck with the battery percent in the battery since, for some unknown reason, moto doesn't offer the percentage instead of the icon.. I guess I'm just spoiled from using CM. And touchwiz where you could do that

Sweet. Loving the embedded battery percentage and removing some of the status bar icons to clean it up a little. Thanks for the tip.

I am holding it down and nothing happens, if referring to the gear icon up by the battery icon on top right corner.
Yep, you are, but not working for me. Weird. I wonder since i have already activated dev options? Not same stuff though. Nope, disabled dev options and still not working.
Non rooted stock device. Strange. Does not spin.
Update: I restarted the device and now works.
Thanks for the info

Seems you have disabled animation in developer options. Enable it and restart mobile. Then try pressing it again and you will see it enabled.
You can then go and disable animation once again. Hope that helps.
Wow! I was looking for the system ui tuner and couldnt find it. I'm happy to have found this thread. I'm not sure everybody who owns this device knowing about this hidden feature.
Also, when i tweak the quick tiles, and then select to remove the system tuner from the settings menu, it switches back to "default" quick tiles.
Is this supposed to happen? I mean, do I have to keep "system ui tuner" in the settings menu in order to have the tiles i chose?
Hope you understand everything, I don't speak well english.

I think it was the source of some problems I was having on my XPE too. My paired bluetooth devices kept unpairing. I posted about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/help/paired-bluetooth-devices-unpairing-t3298262
Long story short, I tried everything and I could think of and finally got a replacement from Moto, only to have the same thing happen with the new phone. Then I disabled System UI Tweaker and it hasn't happened since, and it has been several days.
I just received the Nougat update and realized that the big Samsung in the sky disabled System UI Tuner. So when faced with defeat I decided to spin up an Android emulator and using the some nifty ADB commands reverse engineer all the settings inside the System UI Tuner menu. I then confirmed you could just apply the same settings and they would work and then created an easy to use application to apply them.

No alarm icon showing and long time.
This is a great app - warning for S7 users, though - when I tried to disable the alarm icon, the phone kept crashing system UI. I fixed it by relaunching the app and turning the alarm icon back on. So far, that's the only thing I've seen that doesn't work. I have time and battery icon turned off and so far the phone has rebooted a few times without any issues - it doesn't crash system UI and remembers my settings.
Nice work! Great way to hide time/battery without root.

That is correct. I did not see any changes with battery percentage, or with the Do Not Disturb features. (Should have probably included that in the original post.) I left them in the app, because maybe they will work on other phones.

Great idea! After digging through the android source code on how the icon_blacklist setting works. Then digging through a DeOdexed Marshmallow rom (Thanks @muniz_ri [thread=3415952]thread[/URL]) and de-compiling a few APK's, I was able to find the key Samsung uses on the NFC icon. (For anyone interested it's "nfc_on") A link to the new version has been updated in the original post.

Absolute legend works a treat on my S7 !!!!
Would it be possible to remove the carrier name from the status bar with this app?
I've tried using this and it's Power Notification Control setting is very buggy on my S7. It works perfectly fine on my wife's. This lead me to believe that maybe it was an internal thing going on with mine because I was a beta tester for samsung and she wasn't, but we're both on 7.0, so I flashed stock 7.0 with odin to have a clean system and see if that was the problem, but I'm still having the same issue.
(It changes the ui, adds the option but when I go to activate it, I can not push the star to activate the bar and change the setting.
This mod has improved my quality of life. HAHA!

(It changes the ui, adds the option but when I go to activate it, I can not push the star to activate the bar and change the setting.

I have the same problem with my s7 edge
I am happy to find this app. Hate that alarm and bluetooth icon always being there. Seems to be working great on my S7 edge. Is there a way to remove the AM/PM in the clock? I know when its morning or night.
Love the app any chance to remove this garbage it added after root?

I would love this as well. I know if it's am or pm. I was a beta tester for 3 months and I repeatedly asked samsung to remove it. Worthless and takes up space.
I have tried using this app on my Galaxy s6 but it does not work. I do know however that the icon_blacklist adb commands do in fact work (as I have used them to hide my wifi and cellular icons in the status bar), so if this program is based on icon_blacklist, then it should. I researched androidlib.dll and made sure I have .NET framwork 3.5 or higher installed and enabled, and I do. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, it's a Samsung Galaxy S6 920v, MM 6.0.1. Not sure if this will work only on Nougat or not.

I just received the Nougat update and realized that the big Samsung in the sky disabled System UI Tuner. So when faced with defeat I decided to spin up an Android emulator and using the some nifty ADB commands reverse engineer all the settings inside the System UI Tuner menu. I then confirmed you could just apply the same settings and they would work and then created an easy to use application to apply them.

Incredible app.
Is there any way to activate the "Dark Theme" in the SYS UI Tuner? Especially useful for us S7 AMOLED users.
Hi,
This is a great program! I'm just curious, will this work with other phones? We are experimenting with the same thing over on the LG V20 forums but only with the adb commands themselves, no front-end app or anything like that. So is it possible that this would work?
If not, would you mind sharing the adb command for enabling Power notification controls? That's the feature I want the most but after some quick Googling I can't find out how to do that.
Thanks!
EDIT: Whoops, I didn't see on GitHub that it says it will work on any Android device. I tested it out on the devices in my signature (LG V20 US Unlocked & LG G Pad III 8.0 Wi-Fi if you're on mobile and can't see my signature). The "Power notification controls" feature that I was mostly after doesn't work. I have the same problem as these guys:

Any ideas? I messed around with a few of the "Status Bar" icon settings and those seem to work.
EDIT 2: I figured out how to get Power notification controls working (kinda)! It's still a little wonky and sometimes it locks up, crashes, or just resets though. blankfaced and Patybello, let me know if this works for you. What you have to do is get a notification from the app you want to change into your notification shade. Then slowly pull it left or right just a little bit until the cog icon appears, and click on it. From there if you tap the star icon with the A in it you can set the app's notification priority level (some levels on certain apps cause the notification window to reset/crash when you select them though , so YMMV)! Just make sure you hit "Done" afterwards. Sometimes you can then go into Settings > Notification > Apps to change it from there but a lot of times it just completely freezes up or resets itself, so I would recommend not trying to make any changes in there. I can't reboot my phone right now but I did reboot my tablet and it appears that the priority levels stuck, so hopefully this lasts!
