I love the quick open of quick settings by sliding the finger from a side of the status bar and the customization of the tiles. I also like the LED while the phone is charging (I couldn't make lightflow work :S). The problems is that I only need those features, and I prefer using stock ROM instead of installing a whole new one.
Are these features available in CM and other ROMs as mods for the stock ROM? Thank you.

I use lightflow and had a bit of trouble setting it up originally. If you try and enable light-flow in accessibility when the app prompts you it wont work. It always force closed for me. You need to install it, then go settings and enable it manually, give it a try.
I'm running Liquid Smooth, and it does have the option for the led to light up when charging, orange while charging, and green when it hits 90%.
For the quick toggles you can set quick pull-down, so that you always pull-down settings from one side. I personally like to have quick-settings always come up when there are no notifications, and i have swipe gesture set in nova to pull-down the quick-settings in case there are notifications and i want to get to the toggles quickly.
How I've been some help. I have found the ROM to have really good battery life too, i get around 4hrs screen on time, usually set to 100%.

Hi.
I got my Nexus 4 today, and I really like it. I flashed CM10.1 nightly and it is very smooth.
Only feature I miss, it the following: If there are no notifications, when I pull the status bar I would get the quick settings. If there are notifications, when I pull the status bar I would get the notifications tray.
I had this feature on my old phone custom ROMs and I would like to have it on my Nexus too. Is there a ROM that allows it?
Thanks.
It's in the system settings (Settings>System)
Sorry, I just can't find it there. The Quick pulldown option has only "Off, Right, Left" options, while the one I want ("If no notifications") is not present.
Am I missing something?
i believe both carbon rom and liquid smooth have it.
edit: maybe not carbon, i swear i saw it before but now i cant find it. at any rate, there are definitely multiple roms for us that have that feature, ive seen it quite a few times.
I believe AOKP had it when I was using it a while ago.
Hi guys,
Not sure...if this is been discussed earlier or not....or if this is a common feature across all the roms...however just wanted share....
When we pull down the notification bar....you can get both power widgets or quick setting panel.....as :
1. If you pull the bar by putting your fingure on the left side of bar then power widgets are seen.
2. If you pull the bar by putting your fingure on right side of screen then quick setting panel is seen.
I have tested it on mackay rom...can you seen on others too.
Thanks,
Erpurohit
Yes this is intended. I do believe that there is an option to set this in System > Quick Settings panel > Quick pulldown so yes this is probably across all 4.2.2 devices and certainly available on all CM roms.
So, yes this is a feature but you've probably posted this for those who didn't know.
Like the above poster said it's a feature you can enable in your system settings in CM, apparently Mackay added it as default in his own fork.
I didn't like it seeing as I always pull down the bar from the sides, but it's a nice feature for people that can get used to it for sure.
I had not noticed before, it really is
Just a quick question to see what solutions others have found for these items...
I know there's a built-in flashlight widget, but I prefer a clean desktop. Is there a way to add it to the notification, power control or power menu areas? (Maybe I should put widgets on the lock screen...)
Also, on previous phones with custom roms, I have grown accustomed to a different color LED flashing for different notifications (SMS, Facebook, Mail, etc). Is there a way to do that on the N3 yet?
Just looking for options. Thanks.
Have you tried this for the notification light colors? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2466233
And you can try to download and use notification toggles from the market to add more toggles...
Use Light Manager or Light Flow (my favourite) to control the LED colours. Have fun.

Try Knock V2+ for notifications, even better than light flow (in my opinion)
For flashlight, download UTTER! and just switch it on and off with a voice command!
Thanks for the tips. I'll try them all out and see how it goes.

I've played with Light Manager for a couple days and I've moved on to Knockv2. I have it activated and set up for a few apps, but when the screen is off, there's a yellow LED flashing... but nothing on the phone warrants any type of notification. Is that from this app? I disabled it but the yellow flashing continued. I haven't tried uninstalling it. I also am not seeing actual on screen notifications (icons) that the app is supposed to provide.
I customized come colors with Light Manager, but have since uninstalled it.
Ideas?
Uninstall/ reinstall seems to have resolved the issue with Knockv2. Still looking for a flashlight solution. Utter is COOL, but I don't necessarily want to talk to my phone.
Hi there,
Seeking some advice on a ROM. Hate the look of stock LG G2, just installed stock-like kitkat on my old GNex and saw the google experience launcher with transparent everything, DO WANT. However I'm afraid of losing some features of stock LG software. Maybe you guys can recommend some ROMs, or if it's best to stay stock to get all the features I want, recommend some mods that will give me all the ROM features I want?
Things I NEED
Knock On/ Knock Off (LG feature)
4.4 Stock "Look and Feel" (fonts, transparent bars all around, appearance of time and battery and notifications bar, black instead of white setting menu, etc, you get the picture)
Always listening on the home screen, possibly the lock-screen, pretty much anywhere I can have it all over the UI (as per 4.4, not LG)
Recent Apps button instead of a menu button (as per 4.4, not LG)
Open apps from the lockscreen with apps icons already visible when looking at lockscreen (not the style where you hold finger over lock icon to see a choice of apps in a circle, and then have to swipe a specific direction. I used to have that and didnt like it as much as I like LG stock way of actually showing icons without you touching anything, and you swipe the icons, not a lock towards the icons)
Circle battery type thing on status bar that shows percentage
Things I haven't tried/am not sure about but might want from stock LG software, and might not want to lose flashing to custom ROM
Better stock camera?
SmartShare from the gallery app? (says it uses wifi/bluetooth to stream content to other devices)
Beam/DNLA/I don't even remember what it's called or what app I found it in?
Quickremote
You tell me please? I'm sure there's a bunch of stuff I've yet to discover that I might want (are any of LG's apps e.g. notebook useful?)
Things that are cool but not really necessary
Themes and a ton of extra features -- used to use AOKP and they had a decent amount of extra feature, not too few like CM, not too many like other ROMs where my head just starts spinning from all the features
Other
I'd really prefer not to have to wipe all the time, CM's OTA update feature was awesssooome when I had CM on my GNex, but CM is a little feature-lite for me, I mean it was good though, that's just a minor complaint. But if there's something better fitting my criteria above I'll put up with having to wipe to flash updates of the same ROM in the future if its necessary. I just never understood why OEMs can push OTAs to people and never make them wipe, but for custom ROMs (updating new versions of same ROM) I have to re-set-up everything every time
A lot of this stuff has been addressed already. Most ROMs have knock on built in, but not knock off. The work around is downloading an app that turns the screen off, and using a gesture control in another app (such as Nova Launcher) to double tap the home screen to turn the screen off. Though personally, I just have screen off set to my nav ring so I can access it from any page I'm on.
There's a flashable install here on the forums some where for Quick Remote. Works fine on AOSP ROMs.
As for 4.4 stuff, I have no idea.

How did you do that? I nowhere find a setting to change anything in the navigation ring.

Hey all, I'm looking for a weather app or module that will give me either a constant notification (like the google weather card but just needs to be constant) or sits somewhere in the quick settings (like the one integrated in CM12 is exactly what I would like). A lot of the apps I have tried do give the constant notification BUT they also keep an icon in the status bar which I am trying to avoid. A small handful, such as BrightWeather, offer the option to hide it and is the current one I am using so far. So does anyone have any suggestions on this?
I think amber has option for blank notification icon
Yeah it does, the only problem with Amber is that despite setting refresh interval to 3 hrs, I wakes my device a lot more often than that. I think it had woken to do something >15 times/hour. Tried to go through all the settings and not really sure what it was doing, but the battery drain was too significant
