[Q] Display timeout value + usb tether widget/notifcation toggle apps? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Basically trying to find any apps/xposed modules that enable the display timer to be toggled via widget/notification panel along with adding the usb tether to be toggled on/off.
ive seen go launcher have the display timeout widget but i am sure there's something much more efficient then re-doing all of my launcher settings in an app/module.

Notification bar power toggles

Can these be changed? I dont use vibrate, but do use silence...it would be great to have silent on this panel.
If any developer is working on this, I wish to also request that the following toggle be added in:
- changing brightness level
- Toggle on and off orientation
- Toggle on and off Data connection
- Toggle on and off flight mode
I know we can use wizard to provide these toggle, and that's what I currently do, but the ability to change the toggle from ANYWHERE without having to exit your appliction and come to the desktop (or worse to search for the toggle within the deep Setting structure) would be lovely. I have such as feature on my iPhone and love it, so I hope Android can give me the same flexibility and customization capability.

[Q] Security Lock Application that I can enable/disable with a widget

Hi
Looking to achieve this:
1) No lockscreen on most situations
2) Secure lockscreen when I wish for it (and will enable it manually)
However, I do not want to go to settings and turn the secure lock screen on constantly, as it would be cumbersome. I want to do it in a nicer and cleaner way, namely a widget (well superb solution would be by a toggle button in notification panel, but I guess that's just a dream idea). So I would have a widget on a homescreen that would enable/disable this secure lock screen.
I was looking for some widgets that would set current lockscreen on/off, but after 4.1 or 4.2 it is (seems) impossible if we talk about galaxy s4. So instead I would set no lock screen (with stock settings), and then just enable/disable an external application that would mimick the secure lockscreen itself.
Do any of you know of any app, that has this abbility (most welcome is a widget, but if no app like that, it can as last resort be, a on/off toggle button upon launching the app).

WiFi hotspot toggle widget that works?

I've been trying to find a widget that simply toggles the WiFi hotspot from my home screen on my Nexus 6P. I've tried the following:
Adding a Quick Settings widget, but the only option is "Tethering & portable hotspot"
Power Toggles app, but the hotspot toggle button only serves as an indicator, it doesn't actually do anything
Tasker WiFi Tether task, with the action set to Toggle, but it doesn't do anything when you run it
Searching through the 6P forums for other solutions
Everything I've tried has resulted in a dead end. The only solution I've been able to get working is to add the built-in Hotspot to the Quick Settings dropdown. Has anyone been able to find a push button solution from the home screen?
Elixir can do it and has many size widgets, toggles, etc. in Playstore.

I couldn't figure out how to get it to work. I tried both Elixir and Elixir 2. In Elixir 2, I selected "Turn on WiFi Hotspot" from the app, and it didn't have any effect. Also, that functionality is not available as a selection for the Elixir 2 widget.
Hi, I'm only using Elixir 2 widgets. You have to pick a widget & size for home screen, and then fill in the icon toggles and/or apps. Here's a pic of mine 4x2 with 21 icons on bottom. Bluetooth is on and Wi-Fi hotspot is off in this pic....

I'm still having trouble getting this to work. See the attached screenshot. I'm choosing "Wi-Fi AP (Hotspots) toggle". When I press the button from the home screen, it says "Turning on...", but nothing happens. Icon doesn't change, hotspot isn't turned on. My device is rooted, and I gave Elixir SU access.
Not sure, your setup sounds correct & your rooted. Do any other elixir toggles work? Assuming you saved and rebooted...
I don't have a toggle widget, but I have set llama to turn wifi on and off based on location. Turn wifi on when entering home or office. turn off when leaving either place. works perfectly. In the rare event I want wifi somewhere else, i just use quick settings drop down.

Yes, I rebooted, but still no dice. Bluetooth toggle works fine, just the WiFi Hotspot isn't working. I'm on the latest Marshmallow kernel, from Mar 22nd. @lanternca, I'm using "Smart WiFi Toggler" for trusted WiFi detection and turning it off otherwise.

Using Tasker to toggle Comfort View and Always-on Display?

I'm trying to make a task that toggles the always on display on and off, based on certain profiles.
I paid for Secure Settings pro because I know for the S7, it gives the necessary options for this.
But with my G6 (7.0, stock, at&t) I'm only seeing a setting that toggles the brighter display for always on display, no actual toggle for always on display.
Is there a plug in or something I'm missing here? Is it under a strange name or something in the list for Secure Settings?
I emailed the developer about this and got no response.
I also tried Autoinput but it does not work well if lock screen is password/fingerprint protected.
Anyone have any ideas?
Are you trying to set the AOD to turn off/on at a specific time of day??
No, that's already in the settings. I want to eventually make a profile that will turn on and off the AOD based on notifications, but for testing purposes I've been using if it's connected to a power source or not.
I would like to toggle the Comfort View at a specific time of day though. But with this I have the same problem, I had to use autoinput which doesn't work well with having a protected lockscreen
On my LG G5 H850, I found the setting to be enable_ext_display_on_lcd_off=1

Potential solution for the awful automatic brightness

Noticed there's this "Content adaptive backlight" thing enabled by default, without any setting available to users to disable it.
To disable this thing and check if auto brightness behaves better:
Nova Launcher - long press desktop - add widget - activities - "Content Adaptive Backlight Settings" - disable it in the subsequent screen.
Reading mode is unaffected, but I haven't tested auto-brightness very much after disabling this bc I'm stuck in the office right now.
EDIT: Ah, seems like it's set to 0 already in build.prop... so, don't know if it will do something or not.
What about the screen_auto_brightness_adj setting......anyone try that in AutoTools to modify the auto brightness?
