[TIP] Long pressing notification toggles - Galaxy S III General

Hey guys,
I found out something new yesterday; when you click a notification toggle for a 'long' time it opens the according settingsmenu.
I thought I might share this with you guys as I imagine there are people that don't know about this yet, as was the case with me!

It is an awesome feature, I only found out when someone on the Nexus 4 forums was talking about features they missed from the S3.

I know right, I love how this device can keep amazing me, once in a while. Never had that with any other phones I had.
Also: bump for the people that don't know this cool little trick -yet.

I like this too. New since jb update, and a good one. My favorite feature though is when you slide your finger across the indicator dots at the bottom of the home screen to quickly scroll through the home screens.

Notification bar brightness

When I was messing around with my epic yesterday I did something I never did before.
If you swype your finger on the notification bar you can turn your brightness up or down.
Just wanted to let you all know this, Did not see any other post on it.

What they mean is they want to be able to open it even in fullscreen apps, games etc. The way apple does it is you swipe down from the top once a small tab then appears and then you pull that tab down and the notification dropdown appears.

Actually, that means that the county isn't supported yet. Just download the .apk file and run it. It will work.

second that..
if people were loosing time with normal FB apps cant imagine how they will deal with a fb launcher.. :/ :/
addiction at 200%
Thank you for sharing.
Wow, it's not that it doesn't work well, it's rather smooth but... it manages to be underwhelming and overkill at the same time. It doesn't do half facebook actually allows but going so far as to create a launcher with whatever it actually has being so spread out... wasn't really necessary. All we needed was a decent app. Like one that wouldn't linger in the background consuming memory and battery at all times. A smooth interface would also be cool, not that laggy crap most people experience.
But that's just what i think. I'm not replacing my launcher with this.
There is already a thread for this in Themes and Apps. Please utilize that one, as it was created first.

Halo)))

When an app is pinned in halo))) app , it does not show up when you check notifications. But in the pie you can see the apps that are pinned, any way to avoid this ? Please
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Probably not. Halo is still in alpha stages. Live with it, or just don't use it.
Thanks, I wonder why no one complained / mentioned about it still ??

QuickWindow case mod?

I know not many people have the quickwindow case but wouldn't it be neat to see what its possibilities are? With the right Dev and creative thinkers, it could make people want to get the case. Its just so bland stock. It would be nice to see a mod you could flash or app to install that would allow a customizable window when closed.
Also the ability to lock and unlock my screen just by closing my cover. Very convenient.

This would be great. I tried paranoid android but one of the things that took me back to stock for now was the fact that the cover doesn't work with the Rom.
There's also so much you could do with it. I would really like a snapshot of whatever notification comes through. Kind of like the Moto x notifications but modded for our cover window.

I just want to read the messages from small screen outside the case. It will be so awesome with that.

If anyone can tell me where the files are that are activated when the case is closed and opened I can make the mod myself. I just don't even know where to begin lol

Stock will probably never allow that. I don't understand why this doesn't have more attention. These type of cases are now available for 3+ well known smart phones. I figured by now someone would have made a way to customize these new features.
Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk
This is crazy. I have posted about this and no devs even comment on this topic. Is it difficult or are they just not interested? I can't imagine why they wouldn't be. Being able to read and discard messages. Seems like a no brainer to me. Can someone in the know explain why this isn't happening? I mean I am not trying to force anyone to work on this, but I would have a little peace of mind just gathering some info from all these smart people on why it is not happening.
