Would it be possible to implement a flashlight notification toggle like in cm 10.1 and long press home button activiation in lock screen??
I have a lockscreen widget and a normal widget right now but that's not nearly as fast as the methods described above.
Not to mention the no look possibility with the home button one.
I'm using a rooted Stock Rom MDM with an i9505
thanks in advance
im going to bump this out of interest because im going through holy hell trying to find a method to have an easy to use DISCREET flashlight toggle

3minit framework does that. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283684

There's a hidden settings page on every S4 that allows you to turn it on with volume up, when the screens off.

Hey guys. I wanted to share this. I use Nova launcher so I don't have the ability to Knock Off from my home screen. I have been trying to use the knock off on the status bar and it's just never right. I always ended up clicking and opening settings, or it just didn't work. When your phone is laying on its back with the rear buttons we have sometimes you may want to turn it off without using the hardware buttons.
Enter Power Toggles by painless death. Play Store Link

I have disabled the quick settings with Xposed and use power toggles instead. It's great for adding a screen lock to the status bar and also torch. I just wanted to share that set up. Screen lock works EVERY time.

If you're using nova wouldn't it be easier to install a screen off app and set double tap gesture to that app, that's what I do and it works perfectly.

Well, I already use Power Toggles. I hate the stock Quick Settings. I tried that idea but then Nova Launcher just opens another app and I still have to click something in that app. So, having a quick setting in Power Toggles is easier for me.

Just like James as stated. I use Nova Launcher Prime and didn't want to lose the Knock On/Off feature.
So I installed Screen Off And Lock:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock
Under Gestures, assign the Double Tap to this Application. You can still hide the App within the App Drawer so no one would be the wiser.
you can also set a long press action to a nav-bar icon to lock screen with G2 exposed. thats what i use rather than knockoff.
Using this one with Nova Prime gesture. I see absolutely no need to have an app bigger than 50KB for such a simple task and this one is like 20KB and does the job perfectly. Keep it tiny and simple is my moto :laugh:

Kudos to you, works perfectly and no additional battery drain
I second the "Screen Off and Lock" app from the Play Store. Assign that to the Double Tap gesture in Nova Prime. Boom. Just like stock. Quick and painless. I hide the App from the Drawer and forget all about it.
This allows you to double tap anywhere in the launcher or Status Bar to turn off the screen. Best way to do it.

I would think it would work with any launcher that supports gestures. You just set the gesture to trigger knock off.

Alright.Unfortunately i think GNow Launcher doesn't support gestures
Yea it will work with any launcher that supports double tap. I've always used Nova Prime so it was a no brainer. I used to use Double Tap for the app drawer and delete the drawer icon from the dock. I like screen off better though.
What I watch a video and want to know the time im used to swipe from the top down. This works with phone in portrait en langscape with edge down. I like the edge up with video's bit then how to access the status bar?
You can't.
I hate that we can't. I also like the edge side up when watching videos. It's just more comfortable to hold.

I agree. I spent some time trying to figure out a way to make a shortcut to pull down the notification menu so that I wouldn't have to use the normal "pull down" method. Couldn't find anything.
It feels natural for me to hold the edge up.
I use Next laucher with a swipe down gesture to access the notification panel.

That works regardless of the app you are in?
Thought I stumbled across a fix. Our very own @xodAslan navigation app for the edge panel has a notification panel button but it doesn't work with the edge screen up.

It works with the edge panel down though. Seems like we have to undo something Samsung coded in.
Was there any real reason to add this feature? Does it actually serve any sort of function?
It brings up Google assistant on my phone.
I use it to wake my phone when it is in my desk and just put in the pin if I just want to check a notification real quick without picking up the phone.

It's so you don't mistakenly wake the phone. But playing around with the display I can't decide if the entire display is pressure sensitive, or it just takes you longer to push hard. But it seems if you push hard on the icons the long press context menu pops up (no tactile feedback).
I changed the sensitivity to the most sensitive in the settings, it doesn't really add any feature but it makes pressing the home button feel a little bit nicer.

you can find it in the settings where you can change the navigation bar around, just a few options below it.

It was originally where the fingerprint scanner was suppose to be.

Anyone know if we'll be able to activate 2 button navigation instead of gestures?
I'm not seeing the option in the navigation menu but if you search navigation you'll see a 2 Button Navigation app.

Damn. I really hope someone comes up with a workaround. Not a fan of the gestures or the 3 button navigation.
anyone tried with eg lawnchair launcher and swichted with quick switch back to lawnchair recents?
