[Q] wifi,bt,gps etc controls in notification bar?

Hi,
I'm currently using Switchpro to toggle my controls and I absolutely love it but is there an app out there which does the same but puts the controls in the notification bar?
Something similar like they've done on the samsung galaxy s but with more options:
{
"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"
}
Thx

I'm not sure about an App to add this functionality?
But if you can get used to the Miui interface, it has that functionality built in.
I'm using the J-Style MIUI ROM and it's great.
from the notification bar i can change:
APN -ON/OFF
WiFi -ON/OFF
Rotation -ON/OFF
Backlight -OFF/LOW/HIGH/AUTO
Normal/Silent ring
Vibration -ON/OFF
Bluetooth -ON/OFF
GPS -ON/OFF
I don't know if you can use part of the MIUI ROM to get this to work on Sense/Non-Sense

completely overlooked this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838013
I've posted my question there
MIUI looks great but I'm not looking to change ROM's right now (might give MIUI a try in the future though!)
cheers

PS there is an app called "Quick Settings" which you can launch from notification bar, but it's an app so you don't see the controls immediatly when pulling down the notification bar

[Q] Default widget when playing music

This is going to be hard to explain but here I go.
I'm using a kitkat TW rom, by default, when you lock it and unlock it you get the clock and message original from galaxy and you can just swipe anywhere to unlock it.
{
"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"
}
If you are playing music, by default, it doesn't show the clock and message, instead it scrolls to the right and shows you the music controls.
So, we could say that it passes from showing screen 3 to show screen 4.
The problem is that in my phone it passes from showing screen 3 to show screen 2, which doesn't contain any widget. Hence, I have to swipe to the right twice to get the music controls.
Is there any way to edit the default "lock screen" that it shows when the phone is playing or not playing music?
Thanks in advance

put a widget on the screen 2

As logical as your suggestion seems, the music controls widget cannot me moved from screen nor added in a new one.
The idea is to get those controls when I unlock the device, not another widget

ok, if your lock screen have an empty pages, try to remove them
just keep the home & music lock screen

Lock screen music widget problem

I have a problem with my lock screen music widget. 2 days ago it was OK and now when I play music from my phone and I press the power button to turn on the screen, it show this screen instead of the widget(watch the picture below)... And then I have to swipe from right to left to find the widget, and every time i change the track, it goes again to the same screen(with the "add widget" button) and then i have to swipe again.
Any ideas how to fix it?

It looks like it's a widget problem, try uninstalling & disabling any lockscreen widget to see if that will rectify the problem.

I did disable the Multiple widgets from lock screen now it's ok, but i don't have the music widget. So, now, when i play music and press the power button to turn on the scren, the background is the album cover, but i see the clock/weather widget(normal). So i think the problem is on the multiple widget/music widget. If i don't find any solutions, i will reset my device and see if it works.

How to make notifications not show mini versions?, see photos

Anyone knows how to make the top notification (ex: spotify) always show in full? I have to drag it down to see the extra buttons, which I didn't have to do on my other phone a lg g6 on oreo also. See attached images for how it shows and when i drag it down a little you see there are more options. Why is it always showing the smaller version of a notification by default? Even other apps like system Do not disturb do this, have to drag down or click the notification to see the button to "turn off"
Edit: it's called expanded notification... I still can't seem to find how to make this topmost notification auto expanded. Its quite dumb that the expanded one takes a few pixels more, why bother shrinking it, samsung??

Temp fix... use another notifications app like this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.treydev.pns&hl=en_US
It lets you set whether to auto expand the first or all notifications... yay.
It's also lighter on memory than others. About 70 MB use according to dev options running services.
