Upgraded to AOSP Nougat from MiUI Lollipop, need help to perform the following tweaks - General Questions and Answers

Upgraded my Redmi Note 3 from MiUI lollipop 5.1.1 to SIimROM Nougat 7.1.2. My phone is rooted with Magisk & also has systemless xposed.
First, I want to disable quick settings pull down from the lock screen. I'm able to use every toggle on my quick settings screen without the PIN code. Wouldn't want to allow that without the PIN. Gravitybox Nougat doesn't seem to have an option to disable that.
Second, on MiUI, whenever an app accessed my location, I also got a notification that displayed which app was using location. This doesn't seem to be the case on AOSP Nougat, all I get is a location icon in the status bar, but have no idea which app is accessing my location. That isn't of much use, is there is a root app or an xposed module that can display which app is accessing my location?
Third, the max volume on my ROM seems to be too low, I can't hear most YouTube videos I watch without keeping the phone very close to my face. Which mod would be the best to increase system volume? I don't care about other equalizer settings & all that, just want a way to increase max system volume.
Fourth, when I first setup a lock screen on my ROM, it seems to have encrypted my phone. But when I turned On accessibility service of an app, I no longer see the secure PIN screen that was asked before at boot. Some searching made me realize that turning On accessibility disables encryption, don't know why this is the case. 4 of my apps need the accessibility service to do their tasks, is there no way to have the accessibility service enabled while also keeping the phone encrypted? There must be some workaround....

Looking for a quick lock screen toggle option

Posted this in the LG section but have since rid of that phone for the S6.
I'm hoping to find a way to disable the lock screen when i'm at home or another trusted area, without the need for unnecessary GPS/Location usage as with what the 'smart lock' option demands. Also, without having to root the device.
On my S4 widgetsoid did this brilliantly right from the notification panel and it would coincide with the device locking features that were set.
For instance. Whenever i was home I'd disable by tapping the padlock icon. Then if i went out I'd just tap it again to enable it. If I forgot to enable it, the set time limit for the locking options would take control and eventually automatically lock the device on it's own.
Is there anything available like this? Widgetsoid needs system access for this feature to work now.

Android 7.1 / Lineage 14.1 lockscreen settings

Hi. Yesterday upgraded VZW Galaxy S5 (SM-G900V) to lineage 14.1. Overall quite pleased with it. But it's missing some critical security / lockscreen setting in the GUI.
Specifically lockscreen delay time value + toggle for power button to lock. or not lock By default power button locks and timer is set to min or 2. I need to adjust these settings. Preferably 30 min delay and no lock on power button.
Look around on play store for app to give me back these familiar settings from my stock VZW android 5. Didn't find any.
Does anyone know an app that can do this and/or the appropriate terminal commands to adjust these settings? (I use pin security option)
Thanks!

Always on Display doesn't show notifications on screen

Hello guys. Yeasterday I was testing some security lockscreen configuration on my phone and after that, AOD is no working propperly anymore. It doesn´t show the notification icons (gmail, whatsapp, etc) nor the songs I'm listening on spotify.
I figured out that when I change back the lockscreen type from "none" to "pin" or other security method notifications show up again, but it's pretty annoying since I don't require high security to unlock my phone.
Is there a way to get back to where I was? I mean, I had notification perfectly working on AOD with zero secutity measures before.
I tried clearing AOD data from Apps, but the problem remains.
Thanks.
P.S. Stock ROM with Root.
I found the solution. I just have to go to: settings > lockscreen and security > and to allow SWIPE en lockscreen type.

rom wishlist

i don't know if this belongs in here i read the rules and didn't find anything that said it doesn't so i will try
heres a wishlist for my ideal rom
1.i want to get rid of the entire google section from the settingspanel and put it under accounts i find it really uncomfortable to have the google branding in my settings panel i want it all to act like any other account where settings go under account, if no google account is logged into then theres no google settings
2.i want to get rid of the entire accessability section from the settingspanel and move just the accessability app function under system so apps that require it can still work i also want blutooth settings and wifi settings combined into one all connectivity settings under one section not two different ones
3.i want to port sonys xreality Engine including the settings such as ultra vivid mode under screen settings as this is something i find extremely valueble it makes the lcd on my xz1 beat the oled of my s7 edge, i believe this is by far the best screen preset funciton on Android so it could go under screen presets simple as that
4.i want the rom to be as Clean as possible, i want to choose not to have it come preloaded with a calendar app or phone app or anything like that that can be downloaded off the playstore, any app function such as Contacts that can be downloaded from the playstore i don't want any of it preloaded, so as bloatware free as possible, i am not sure how to work that with no launcher coming preloaded though
5. i want the playstore renamed to just store or software manager or software center and with a regular store Icon, basically i want to get rid of any and all google branding from the rom, the rom would ofcourse have google functions as otherwise it wouldn't work but visually i don't want to see any branding of any kind that includes the name "trebuchet" for the preloaded launcher i'd prefer just "launcher"
6.not important but i want greenify implemented as standard battery saver functions rather than something you download afterwards i also want doze to be put under battery and wellbeing to be put under screen settings, i noticed these are in the main settings panel, i also want the setting to doze gms to be implemented in the battery settings panel so you don't need magisk for that i also want doze and greenify to be merged into one or just take all greenify functions and put it under doze
7. i'd love for magisk to be implemented too under system settings so theres no magisk app you access settings under system not through an app
8.i'd love screen width to be impemented under screen settings so you don't need to go under developer settings just to change screen dpi, i would also love usb debugging to be taken out of developer settings and be put under connected devices section or in my case connectivity settings
9. i noticed that most of the settings under google settings don't even have to exist so they could be seperated throughout the panel like screencast can be put under display settings, nearby could be under connectivity settings, backup would ofcourse be under system and search would also be under system, location settings could be under connectivity, configure nearby device under connectivity
10.get rid of any "no simcard" warning from the rom as well as any carrier branding i don't want to know it, i think everyone is aware if they have no sim or not in their phone, maybe show a warning when trying to go online that no simcard has been detected and notifying the user to use wifi.
this is ofcourse just a wishlist i do understand if magisk or greenify can't be implemented in a rom but it is a wishlist.

Question Most comprehensive way to get my settings and whatnot back after a factory reset?

I've decided I rly don't want the nav bar. I prefer the Samsung three button swipe up method. How much of my current setup can I get back should I unlock the bootloader to root and therefore factory reset my device?
...Unless there's an option to hide the nav bar without root
Thank you.
For me, factory resetting really isn't all that bad. Been doing roms since 2011, so starting fresh is a reoccurring thing for me.
My important photos/videos are backed up through Google Photos while my SMS/MMS are backed up through SMS Backup and Restore. Everything else, pretty much just login through apps with a password manager. System settings, I go through one-by-one and set them up every single time, but that only takes but so long.
Maybe someone could add some stuff that requires manually backing up those apps specifically?

Going to see how this works, give me one sec. Not sure how it works on the latest Android, but it can achieve what you're looking for.
Vivid Navigation Gestures - Apps on Google Play
Fluid navigation gestures for all of us!

Edit: No go. Dug up the article and now it seems like your only option will be to root, unless someone knows something more.
Google confirms overscan is gone in Android 11, crippling third-party gesture apps
Google has confirmed that overscan is not present in Android 11. This change will cripple third-party navigation gesture apps and others.

vivid navigation gestures paired with aospmods is the only way to hide the navigation bar. afaik the setting to hide the navbar within vivid NG doesn't work. need root
I could be completely wrong with what you are after regarding the swipe options, but try this for the 3 button navigation. (Translated from Dutch, so menu might look a little bit different)
Settings > System > gestures > system navigation
Here you can disable the swipe, and enable the 3 buttons option.
I'm using the Xposed Edge app to hide the navigation pill. I also have the None Display Cutout module installed which, in conjunction with the Xposed Edge app, I can toggle the Status bar too.
