CM7 suggestion

Cyanogen should add a feature where if you press the battery icon in the notification bar, settings would come out for it in a windowed box belox the notification bar. Same for the time and if you had wifi on for example you could click it to go to the wifi settings page. That would be so awesome!

This would require a complete rewrite of fundamental android elements and would not be a task someone would most likely undertake.

You can do something similar to what you want if you use the notification power widget. You can add toggles for all sorts of setting that lie within your notification bar that are very easy to access. You can enable in in CM settings.
I don't see the tiny wifi or battery icons as being good shortcuts. If you really want to though, try submitting a feature request on the cm bugtracker. It will get noticed more there.

Not very finger friendly up in the corner imo

Sense 2.0, revert to 1.0 notification bar/menu?

I might be the only one that doesn't like the notification bar with the quick access menu and list of recently used apps. I prefer the old version coupled with using widgetsoid instead to have only the settings I want/need, and not take up half the pull-down menu with the recent apps.
Is it possible to revert only the notification bar, or delete the quick access/recent apps options?

Not sure but i love that bar it makes finding the app I use most often ez like wifi tether.

True, but how is it any different than holding down the home button for 2 seconds?

Its really not in any way but i always forget that you can hold down the home button for 2sec but i am constantly reminded where my recent apps are every time i get a text,email or missed call...... Maybe thats just me though i can see how you would not like it.

Yeah I hate that new pull down bar it was a good idea but I'm so use to using the home key that even on a GB ROM I still use the home key

Damn, assuming that no response can only mean that it's impossible. That's a shame, really liked sense beyond this issue.

What do you want in the 4.2 update?

Hi, I'm gonna get the one as soon as I can but I have one question for those who own the one. What are you wanting htc to add in the 4.2 update? What things are kinda missing in the one?

The camera is a 4MP sensor. There's nothing you can do about it

Group Messaging and Quick Settings in the notification bar.

"AirDroid" integration or similar app/feature ..
when I am working on my computer at home it would be nice to get some notifications on my computer and to have the ability to send messages etc. from my pc, so I don't always have to switch over to the phone to read the messages etc.

Long press back for menu.
Quick reply for SMS.
Notification quick settings.
CIFS (i can dream) support.

Battery percentage optional icon in notification bar
Integration of email and sms into Blinkfeed.
Option to jump back to top on Blinkfeed. Currently, lots of upscrolling is needed.
Settings controls or shortcuts in pull-down notification bar. Similar to blackberry and Samsung phones

What's CIFS? Agreed, quick reply for SMS would be handy and notification quick settings would be amazing.

I believe you can press the home button to jump to the top of Blinkfeed, but I am not 100% certain as I do not have the HTC One yet. Will probably get it early April

Only if it's your default home screen.
I would love to see the notification bar made black on all home screens.
If you go to an app or the settings menu, then go home again (not Blinkfeed) the transition from black to clear really isn't nice.
Also I want to turn off IME switcher and power save notifications!!

I just hope its a 4.2.2 release and they don't take forever to update the device.

Sooo, you want AirDroid? Why should HTC add more bloat when you can install it yourself in 4 seconds?

Press the status/notification bar at the top to go to the top of the list. I would like an option for horizontal scrolling, hold back for menu and the option to delete the blinkfeed page. & add it back if wanted as a new page.

Ignore

So with sense 5 you can't have battery percentage in the top bar... wtf?

1. option to add contents to blinkfeed.
2. Notification toggles.
3. Quick Reply SMS.
4. Notification quick settings
5. Return back the missing lockscreen themes(Clock, FM Radio, People)
6. Photo sphere
And bonuses would be...
7. Multi window, S-Pen(using glass cutter as a pen), S-Health, eye tracking, Smart Stay, Snake, Space impact, bantumi, pairs, bounce, AI intelligence to the point your phone has a brain of it's own, make grub as bootloader, Can quad boot(windows, linux, android, tizen), 100mile radius bluetooth for free calls and texts, can make your brain as a cloud storage

1. Long pres menu option
2. Stability
3. Speed
4. More content for blinkfeed

[Q] Nova Launcher - Swipe UP to launch My Magazine

I thought I heard that there was a way to Launch 'My Magazine' using gesture/swipe up in Nova Settings. All I see there is the APP DRAWER. Can you launch specific apps in the launch draw (like 'my magazine') using gesture/swipe up ?

as long as the app is available in the gesture settings it'll launch it. i know smart launcher does and i currently have it set for that. i'll probably change it since i use feedly far more than i'll use the my magazine app.
edit: oh snap! i didn't pay attention that i posted in the note 3 forum. i thought i was in the gn10.1 2014 forum, lol. either way it's all the same.

I found the setting for 'My Magazine' but unfortunately Swipe Up is not doing anything (& swipe up in nova says "my magazine" now). Perhaps NOVA needs a restart. Trying that next.

My gestures work -in my use i find if you make sure you touch a part of the screen not covered by a widget or button then do the motion -the action gets carried out

That was it, thanks sent. I had a widget blocking my swipe, I guess.

Glad it helped! You can even do the gestures along the furthest side of the screen and it'll work so no worries about having to leave a space open to do it!

Yotaphone 2 wishlist

Let's hear your wishes for features for the yotaphone 2 in particular panels, apps and uses for the EPD, let's hope the developers at Yotaphone are monitoring this forum and take some ideas from us.
Here's mine for starters.
1. Notifications.
A Yota panel that acts as a Notification centre for all the notifications other than calls, emails and sms. The present system of getting you to flip over the phone is clunky and the weakest part of the whole experience. I would like to select which apps send notifications to the panel and then scroll, swipe and select them from the EPD as the appear. An Android wear compatable panel could be awesome.
2. Browser
A search bar yotapanel, like the google now one on the main home screen, this would open to an EPD optimised Web browser.
3. Some system toggle short cuts.
A panel where you can select system stuff E.g bluetooth on/off, airplane mode on/off, silent/buzz/normal volume toggle.....etc.
Sent from my GT-N8010 using XDA Premium HD app

Good idea for a thread.
Notification wise I love the sms and phone part of it, the other 2 are nice but I agree. They could be much better integrated. If yota could get the panels to integrate the mirror function on the notification widget bit, or just allow for customised assignment of apps to the email and notification app then it would be a bit less annoying.
Something like htc's blinkfeed or the flow home launcher (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.larvalabs.flow&hl=en_GB) would be good - a hub for general notifications, social media, rss feeds and whatnot.
Also agree that an EPD optimised browser would be nice, something basic and clean.
A settings panel would be excellent, I don't really use the music or book one, settings would be a nice function and a good way to keep use localised to the EPD if needed.
Need a few more options for the big panels, don't really use the reader or music player panels as I tend to use kindle app for reading and music player wise I listen to a lot of audio books and find that skipping back and forth is quicker using normal display.
Some more half page panels could be nice too, like a calculator and /or unit converter.

One thing i really miss so far is the clock alarm widget for Yota panel.

Just FYI, there is an EPD optimised browser, there is just no easy way to launch it. You can launch it by either clicking on twitter/rss links, or by launching chrome on the normal display and then holding the home button and selecting the place where YotaMirror usually is (the yota mirror icon will be replaced with some weird arrow icon).

Yes there is an easier way to launch the optimised browser - you just need to add apps launcher widget on yota panel and add chrome shortcut to it.

Apps are starting to appear in the app store, if you search the store with "Yotaphone" some third party stuff is showing up, there is a great currency converter with a Yota panel widget for the EPD and a couple of e readers and even Office Suite (says Yotaphone optimised)
There's stuff that doesn't mention Yotaphone in the notes so why they come up I don't know, anyway stuff us starting to appear which is great

If you're using the big analogue clock which covers half the screen, then the digital time will show in 12 or 24 hour format below the clock hands according to system settings.

Thanks for help. Looks ok:thumbup:

I find it quite clumsy to switch to Yotamirror (unlocking the back screen, press and hold home, select mirror). Should be possible with a gesture or doubletap on statusbar or something.
