Like the title says, i want a shortcut to the NATIVE andoid power menu, preferably a notification shade quick setting. But a homescreen widget would suffice as well.
For very obvious reasons like broken power button and inability to long press thing for long time..
It would be great if this was more of an addon to the android ecosystem rather than a background service. If this is too much to ask, sorry.
I'm using lineage os 14 [root] on moto e condor

Rotation toggler is essentially an auto-rotate screen toggler application that allows you to enable or disable android's auto-rotate feature. This is useful especially when you don't want the screen to change its orientation when say..you're reading an ebook or browsing a site and don't want your browser to change its orientation. Just long press on the search button and select "rotation toggler" or launch the application in your app drawer and toggle the auto-rotation on or off. It is just that simple! Don't forget to try my other free apps. Ad-supported (requires and uses internet connection ONLY if you launch the app via app drawer).
I created this app out of a request from my friend who wants an app to easily toggle the auto-rotation in his nexus one. Thought I'd share this app with the rest of the world, i'm sure someone will find it useful. Enjoy
You can download Rotation Toggler along with my other android apps here:

You know there's already a free widget in the market that does this. And it doesn't have ads.
It's called "Autorotate OnOff" by Curvefish.
Mine is not a widget, its a replacement when u long press on the search button. so its an alternative. For instance you're in adobe reader, you just long press, select the rotation toggler and you're done. With a widget, you'd have to press the home button, toggle the widget.
I wonder whether you could do that it woulden't rotate the home screen, bot like the browser (ect.) would? And so I don't have to switch manual every time.
buttom customization would be nice (maybe long home press) as search button is being used by couple other apps (Quick Settings, Voice Search)

Actually if i'm not mistaken the stock home screen for most phones won't rotate, at least my n1 doesn't unless you're using a custom home screen like adw or launcher pro. Also this is not possible to disable just one part of the system such as the home screen or the browser. Its either off entirely for all or none at all.
kkssgg > Can't be done for other buttons, apps are not allowed to use other buttons for long pressing as it interfere's with its existing functions (home screen long press - switch apps, menu long press - keyboard, back button long press - well nothing but so far its not possible to long press a back button).
Awesome app! Thank you very much!
Thanks! Don't forget to try out my other apps, I believe you will find them useful too. Enjoy

Actually
long press Menu = Search
never really understood the redundancy. (Well, I guess it's not redundant on the international version without the dedicated search button.)
Just to notify everyone that my android apps have been added to the android market since Nov 1st 2010. Search for "Malcolm Lim" and you will find my apps there. Enjoy

New version of rotation toggler 1.15 uploaded to android market and slideme market:
http://slideme.org/user/mlbl
New in v1.15:
- New main interface look from app drawer
- Option to display notification icon for easy toggling of rotation
- Fixed several bugs
- Added donate button for donations
Hit me up,
I have an idea for an update that I started to build with app builder, but don't really have time to learn app builder that well although I have a pretty good prototype of how I want it to work... Funny I was using the same rotate icon as your app
Maybe we can make some bucks
One thing I missed coming to the G2 from AOSP ROMs on my DNA were torch quick toggles, with the screen on-- long pressing a nav key, or off--long pressing a hardware button. Don't know if the devs have these going on any ROMs around here, but I've come up with a little work-around that should work regardless of what you're running.
You'll need:
Tasker
Tesla LED
G2 Xposed settings
Secure Settings (or another app that turns off your screen)
For screen on
In Tasker, go to the Tasks tab and create a new task. Call it "toggle torch" or something. Add action-->third party-->Tesla LED-->Set: toggle. Hit Back. Long Press the task you just created, then hit the three-dot menu on the top right. Export-->As App. Name it something. After it creates the app, hit the little Android button to install the app.
Fire up G2 Xposed and under the Nav bar settings, set your "toggle torch" on one of the buttons' long press actions.
For screen off
Follow the above instructions, but add an additional action to the task to lock/turn off the screen. Name the task and app something different than the first, like "toggle torch lock."
I have this one set to my Volume Up in G2 Xposed settings. It turns on the screen for a second when toggling the torch on or off, but you don't have to unlock or anything and it works with the pin enabled.
I also hid the toggle apps in my app drawer with Nova just because.
Hope this helps somebody!

I have the same setup i think , but it doesn't work for me ?
Lg g2 , rooted + xposed + G2 xposed + nova launcher prime + secure settings + tasker
My created app works fine when launched Manually.
I think it might be a bug in G2 xposed,
since the only option that actually works Is putting it to stock function ...
Thanks for the walkthrough, I was just thinking the same .
In CM11 ROM the torch works fine , but it isn't stable enough for daily use

I used g2 xposed to enable aosp lock screen then used gravity box to long press lock icon for torch.
Also used g2 xposed and using volume key for torch when screen is off.
And last I have notification toggle app and have torch as a one of the toggles.

The culprit was gravitybox. Even without configuration , having it enabled was enough to block G2 xposed .
The good news : there is a torch function built into G2 xposed to use with the volume keys

Using an app called Torchie, just press both 'volume buttons' together to turn on/off torch anytime. It runs as a background service and just works anytime, screen on, lock screen and even when screen off (if enabled from Torchie Settings). It kinda make your phone feel like a conventional battery operated torch. No root required.

hi guys! I may be buying this phone for me or my family, and would need a few answers from you that are already owners of this phone that seems very nice to me
hope you can help, and thanks in advance and in any case btw!
basically, I need to know if latest xposed fw and gravity box/xblast tools modules are working fine, I mean, at least the features I would need the most! (I read somewhere around they can installed but compatibility is not 100%).
most features I would need are:
1. centre clock + date in status bar (something like "WED 14/01 10:40" )
2. navbar edits such as adjustable navbar heigth and customazations such as long press back button to force kill a app, double tab on recents button to turn on torch, double tap on home button to make a screenshot, long-press home button to get power menu etc)
3. skip music tracks by long pressing volume buttons when phone is locked
4. volumer rocker wake
..so, can you please let me know if you could get all/some of them working in your honor 6? (If I'll get it, I'll get a H60-L04 model )
lastly, considering I am pretty sure AOSP quick toggles can't be used, is there a network mode quicktile already available in stock fw notification bar? (2g-3g fast switch toggle, as that's the toggle I need the most).
many thanks again bye!
Looking to see if there is any ability to get the right capacitive key to do anything other than switch/clear open apps? I sure do miss being able to hit the right key on my old phone and it would typically bring up menu options for whatever app you happened to be in and also a shortcut into your settings when on one of the home screens. What a PITA having to go up to the top right side of each app, hit the 3 little menu dots and change menu options that way.
Anybody figure any work-arounds or other 3rd party apps that can help out with this?
It would be nice if Alcatel would allow the right capacitive key to access the settings or menu of an app with a long hold of the button. Short hold of the button accesses the open apps. That would be intuitive. My old phone was the opposite, a short tap would open a backdoor to menu options and a long hold would open the active apps for dismissal or switch.
Very much an extra effort reaching up to the right when in Chrome to have to go to your bookmarks...that's just one example.
Any 3rd party launchers include something of this ability?
Also a PITA having to reach allllllll the way up to the top of the phone to pull down the notification panel. My old phone with KK 4.4.4 all you had to do was slide down anywhere on the home screen and the notification panel would come down. Vice versa, sliding up on a home screen would open the backdoor to your settings menu.
These are my two biggest *****es 24 hours into having this phone. Everything else I've tried so far seems pretty good.
I can propose solutions to two of your problems ..
(a) For bookmarks, could a bookmark widget help ? I believe Chrome has its own , but you could also use the stock widget and have it open any browser. Of course this only works in you are not already inside the browser. You can also try a browser with gestures. I think dolphin can do that.
(b) For the notification shade, you can use a launcher than offers a swipe down gesture. I use Apex which has gestures for free, and I have swipe down set for the notification shade.
Cool, thanks! Hopefully Alcatel is taking notes for future updates?
Did your phone have a custom room or Launcher? Those are not standard gestures for kit kat or stick Launcher.

Hi,
I've recently been trying to add a navbar button to my Nexus 5 running lineage 14.1. I want to implement the 'screen lock' functionality via this new button. I am adding a keycode button for this purpose, and it seems to do the job, however the problem is whatever image i choose for this button, upon application it only appears as a white spot on the navbar.
Is there a way to make this button visually similar to the other buttons, or, at a bare minimum if i could assign a small area of the navbar as this button without any visual changes to my current navbar (for example i just tap on the corner of my navbar to turn the screen off?)
Thanks,
Arun
Humble request
Can I ask you how did you add a custom button on navigation bar
I m using lineage 16.1 on Lenovo zuk z1
