Is there an app to put power control widget in notification pulldown?

That would be sweet. Pretty much the only feature of my long gone jailbroken I*phone (sbsettings) that I miss was activating that screen with a swipe without exiting the focused application. It must be possible in android. Any info?

Quicksettings?

There is an app in the market called "Quick Settings" which can be placed in the Ongoing notification dropdown that is customizable to include everything on the power control widget and more.

I am a fan of "power strip", a great paid app.

Quick Settings is really nice. Thanks y'all.
FYI, I've also used NOTIFi by Sisedi Media. It's skinnable and has a polished look that's a little different from the normal android UI.

Try QuickDesk Beta. It's a single extra homescreen that you access by double tapping the home button. Can put any widgets or shortcuts that you can put on your home screen. That way, all you have to do is double tap your home button, use the power strip, then hit back to get out of QuickDesk Beta and you'll be back in your original app.

The MIUI ROM has this as a fixed element at the bottom of the drop down.

Just a matter of time before this gets into other ROMs , hopefully

The amount of times i've wished I didn't have to return to Home Screen to toggle GPS / WIFI etc - this is the absolute perfect solution. If it had customisable entries where we could launch a task switcher - WIN WIN!
+1 hopefully.
Perhaps this thread should be moved to Andoid General for greater visibility?
Steve.

theres an app thats called "in app toggle wifi" or something where you just have to hold the search softkey for a couple of seconds. even better in that it is hidden.

A good alternative is quickdesk by ruqqq, I've set it to bring up its "screen" on home double tap.

quickdesk is awesome. Not only can use power control but any app that you want without leaving any application. love it

Just noticed that the galaxy tab has this too.

Quickdesk or My Settings is best alternative for time being

MIUI ROM has it.
Cyanogen ROM will soon have this. You can look at Cyanogen's twitter account, he recently had a pic showing it off. I can't wait.

Im glad they are implementing this in CM.

My Xoom is getting replaced...

My Xoom is getting replaced for some cosmetic damage (weird dent in the back rubber out of the box). Anyway, I have been playing with it a lot while waiting on my replacement to get here...only thing is I have spent some time customizing my homescreens the way I want them. Is there a way to backup my current setup or will I have to reorganize it again when I get my replacement? Thanks for any help.

Some people are saying that your apps and settings will be restored automatically. Not sure about the home screen configs though. I will not know until middle of next week when I sign into my new Xoom that will replace the one I have now (twenty-five percent off lucky bastard).

If you backup your contacts etc. to your google account, you will get them back on the new device when you sign into your google account. you will also be able to re-download your apps as well as they are tied to your google account also.
Your homescreens/widgets won't be saved. On phones when you're using a custom launcher like ADW or Launcher Pro, you can backup your homescreen locales, but as far as I know there is no way to do that with the stock launcher on 2.3 or 3.0.

well crap...the homescreen config is what I cared about, that sucks.
Maybe someone can help me then, because here's my main problem:
I sync my Xoom bookmarks with my Chrome bookmarks. The problem is my Chrome looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Notice all the favicons with no text? Well, when I sync them with my Xoom, it just shows a bunch of blank tabs without names (because I remove them in Chrome). So I went through and added most of my bookmarks as icons on one of my homescreen pages, so I can see the favicons relevant to each. It took FOREVER to do. Is there an app or anything that will let me see my bookmark favicons correctly?

I mean I'm sure it took you some time, but it takes no time at all to get rid of that text in Chrome.

Right, and I don't want the text in Chrome because I know what the site is based off it's favicon, but the problem is on my Xoom it doesn't show the text or favicon, so I just have a bunch of blank bookmarks. They work when I click them, but I have no idea which one I am clicking. The only way I can see the favicon is by going to +/More/Bookmark and adding it to the desktop manually. I need a way I can see my bookmark favicons on my Xoom to know what bookmark I'm clicking.

Editing the multitasking apps

I was trying to add the maps app to my mult-itasking bar and couldn't seem to find a way to do it. On watching a couple of YouTube videos I see there appears to be an edit button at the bottom of the bar on those notes which doesn't appear on mine.
Am I being really dense on not being able to see how to access this button?

the edit button only appears when you have too many apps for that bar.
Samsung have made a list of what apps can be used in this mode, maps is not one of them.
A hack is being worked on to allow all apps to be used in this mode, please see the sticky thread.

It was because I saw maps on the list of apps in that thread that I was trying to add it. Never mind, just a minor thing. I'm just curious that, if the edit button only appears when there are too many apps on the multi-tasking bar, how do you actually add or remove apps when it isn't there? Or do apps that can be use this facility (on unrooted phones) automatically add themselves there?
Thanks for your help.

I have maps in my multitasking bar!

ah actually good point, maps is one of the apps.
Are you sure you have maps installed?

Yep, have maps installed.

Maps should then default to being one of the items in the side-bar

Yes the maps is there,and also it looks like there are omly 12 applications supported as of yet,you can remove or move them back when you hit the Edit button and drag any of them to the right lane or back to the left.

Must be a glitch on my phone then. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling the maps app to see if it would make a difference but no luck. Any ideas gratefully received.

have you tried turning it off and on again? (no joke)

If the reboot doesn't fix it can you post us a picture of your sidebar?
to take a screenshot take the spen out, press the spen button and tap and hold the middle of the screen.

Yes, tried that. It's about all I know how to do!

Hopefully here are 2 screenshots showing the entire multi-tasking bar.

for starters try the app "live score addicts" for football results, its the best I have come across in 3 years with android.
back on-topic...
maps definitely is not there, weird.
I take it you have not modified the firmware at all? on a completely stock rom?
Maps is installed as a /system/ app you see, and it is that specific package name that is allowed for multi-tasking, if for some reason you don't have it installed as a /system/ app there is a slim chance its under a slightly different package name and multi-view just won't see it.
Edit:
can you post me a screenshot of the page displayed when you go *#1234# in the dialer.

Here you go.

Maps is here, and *#1234# results

Interesting Lofty, your actually on quite old firmware (well older than most of us with split-screen ability).
Where did you get the phone?

Vodafone upgrade. Maybe it has something to do with all the crap they stick on the phone.

It would be very easy, if you wanted, to unbrand that device and put the latest UK unbranded firmware on it but at the risk of voiding your warranty (although tbh it shouldn't).
If you are interested in this just PM me and I will give you the simple instructions.

Have we found a way yet?

Notification Settings (FIX)

For some bizarre reason they have decided to omit Notification Settings in the Settings Menu. If you have an Android Wear watch and you want to change Notification Priorities for certain apps, this is a must, as well as many of the other Notification Settings.
Anyway the short term fix is to install an app called QuickShortcutMaker from the Play Store, then open it, search for com.android.settings.Settings$NotificationSettingsActivity and create a Shortcut for it.
There are others shortcuts that may be useful, another post has mentioned it to get rid of the 2nd sim icon. If I find any others, I'll let you know, and if anyone else finds other useful ones, please post.

Is that any solution to change Notification fonts and colour as I it's unusable to read Gmail Notification ?

Nope, only way to improve that is to play around with the Themes - try changing them using the app that is included called Themes.
Sent from my PLK-L01 using Tapatalk

I use honor 7 and the problem appeared notifications do not work, but I know half the solution, when you click on the box in the bottom of the screen Close all programs from the bottom up, do not close every program alone

many other things you can get with "QuickShortcutMaker" at your Honor 7 you will find here:

This is very confusing for typical android users, as this phone tries to save battery by closing all apps, which is a good thing for battery, but not for notifications, so it is very important for the apps that you want to receive notifications, you must protect them - go to Settings, Protected Apps, and turn on the ones you want to protect and stay alive.

Weather and At glance problem

Hi friends i updated my mi a1 to pie, done hard reset after update and set my phone from beginning with pie update. But having a problem no mater what i do i can't get weather to show near at glance, just show date and no weather. I can ask assistant for weather and it tells me but thats it.

You can try by resetting Google discover preferences in Google now settings.
That worked for me.

In your case it should be under "Your Feed".
Feed is renamed to Discover by Google recently.
I thought that you did get that update.

Disabling and reenabling google app helps it, works it's show weather until next time weather needs to be refreshed then disappears and appears at wil. Cant find the catch, and if someone knows on which time interval google refreshes weather widget. tnx everyone

The workaround or "catch" , as you say, for me at least is to turn WiFi on.
When I'm on mobile data weather just don't refresh itself.
Tried everything else, but this is what works always.
