I was playing around in accessibility settings and toggled the invert colors button just to see what it did. Unfortunately this adds the tile to your quick settings drop down menu. I was looking for a way to get rid of it and found the solution on the nexus 5 forums. I thought I'd share it here for anyone else.
If you have root you can clear the data for systemui in Titanium Backup, and then reboot.
If you're not rooted apparently there is a timer built around these settings that resets the tiles after a month. Change your clock back a month and a day. Toggle and untoggle Invert Colors in accessibility. Then set your clock back to the current time and it should go away. Here's the link to reddit.

Hi. I'm new to this ROM on my Nexus 7 3g (tilapia). As there is no up to date forum on XDA for this particular device, I am posting here. I can't get Quick Pulldown or Smart Pulldown settings to stick. I set Quick Pulldown to "centre" but when I exit settings and go back in nothing is selected. Same for Smart Pulldown. I can get quick settings by pulling down on the right, but I am unable to change it. Any ideas? I did a clean wipe/flash of the ROM. I'm on the 4/27 build but it has done this on the last 2-3 builds I've used.
When I say I can't change the Quick Pulldown settings, I mean I can't add or remove tiles. I found the switch to rearrange them, but I can't change what shows up. I can't find any setting like in other firmware where I can choose which tiles appear here.

I assume you mean the pencil? All that does is let me rearrange the tiles. I can't add or delete any. Unless I'm missing something. I've tried dragging tiles off the screen, pulling down on the panel in edit mode, etc.

Anyone? Am I the only one with this problem? Maybe there's a conflicting setting somewhere I don't know about that keeps it from being set.

You can't add more tiles. All the available ones are already there.
To remove a tile, just tap on it once while in edit mode. It will fade in the background, and won't be displayed once you exit the edit mode.

Thanks! I was beginning to think I had some sort of unique bug. With no official forum for my device on this ROM I was thinking of switching back to SlimKAT, but I really like this ROM.
I still can't get the options to change the location of the pull down and Smart Pulldown to work, but the default seems to work fine. The settings I choose simply don't stick - if I go back into the option they are all blank.
Want to add battery percentage?
Want to customize the quick toggles?
Pull down the notification bar and press and hold on the settings gear icon
You will see a message upon releasing that system ui tuner has been added to your settings... Enjoy
Doesn't seem like you can really add any Quick Settings... the only tile you can add is a "Broadcast Tile" and it doesnt seem to do anything or show up

On my Nexus 5 (not 5x) I can add these options: Invert colors, Do not disturb, Hotspot, and Broadcast Tile.
On the 5X it shows Invert Colors, DND, and Hotspot as already being in the list even though Hotspot and Invert Colors are not shown unless the features are actually turned on at the time
This won't work for me for some reason? Disable encryption and rooted, only things I can think of that might interfere?
Fixed: Enabled animations in Developer Options again, rebooted, gear finally spun and unlocked the feature.
This is odd. I can't seem to enable System UI on my 5x. It's rooted, unencrypted. I am using Nova Launcher, but even when I revert back to Google NOW I still can't enable it.
I'm pressing down on the cog icon for at least 30 secs easily. Any ideas?
Oh, need to enable animations as noted above.

You can add some tiles by using this app.

Yea, I tried to use the Invert Colors toggle just to see what it does but it doesn't show in the notification when I exit the system UI tuner. I honestly hate the embedded battery percentage, wish it showed outside of the battery

Hi everyone,
I have issues with my eyes (cataracts) so I need to have the invert colours options on my quick settings when I need to invert the colours. For the past few weeks I have gone from rom to rom and no matter which one I try when I click the option to invert colours in the accessibility page the invert colours toggle no longer appears in the quick settings. Personally I would rather set it up as a gesture as I use it a lot but if not the quick settings was the next best thing and now it is gone. Can someone please help. It is hard for me to read normally and without colour inversion it makes using the phone very tough. .
Thank you

If you pull down the quick settings then long press the settings cog wheel you unlock 'system UI tuner', go to that then 'quick settings', what worked for me is deleting the 'invert colours' tile then adding it again, now it's in my quick settings. Hope it helps!

I have the same problem, I dont use Invert colours, but found this problem. When changing quick settings in settings the icon for Invert colours is present. But when pulling down the quick settings the Invert colours icon is gone. Very strange

I will unroot and see if that works.
You first have to enable the Color Inversion display in the Settings > Accessibility menu. Once you enable it, the toggle will appear in Quick Settings.
Hello, today I noticed that small quick settings (tiles in 1 row) doesn't work properly:
1) Tiles are invisible - I just see white background although they are working when I tap on white space.
2) Small quick settings are interfering with larger quick settings menu - when I try to tap on brightness slider, I often tap on invisible tile from small quick settings.
Restarting phone and resetting quick settings does nothing.
Can somebody tell me how can I fix it? I hope my problem is understandable.
Have you installed any substratum theme with a white overlay? I suspect it.

I haven't.
Nova Launcher is the only app that I'm using to customize my Android but it shouldn't affect quick settings. I changed the launcher to default (Launcher3) to make sure - the problem is still there.
I searched thoroughly and couldn't find a thread or a fix. Where do we edit the quick settings in the notification pulldown? Mine is blank, and I don't readily see it in Settings, nor is there an edit function in the pulldown. Suggestions?
You don't have the editing pencil icon on there?

Nah, it's straight blank...
Someone else here solved that by rebooting the phone. Afterward the pencil icon appeared and they were able to set it up. Can't remember which thread at this point.
I've rebooted twice. No success...
Pull down the notifications and then pull down again on the (blank for you currently) quicksettings section and you'll see pencil that lets you edit

Oddly enough, I was able to get the quick settings to show up on the lockscreen. I edited it from there, and voila. It's a wierd glitch...

Thanks for this. JUST picked up mine and was going crazy since I wasn't seeing the toggles. Very odd that it comes up blank like that out of the box.
Hey I found out the issue here. I had the same thing happen with the T-mobile variant. I did a factory reset and restored my google account and it was still missing. I did a second factory reset and didn't restore and sure enough it showed up. I then did the oneplus restore and nothing changed. I then got the phone unlocked and still no issue. After a restart everything was fine and then I did a google restore. I chose only to restore call logs and messages. The second it was done the quick settings disappeared again. This is clearly an issue with google and this device. Not sure if it's a T-Mobile issue specifically

Ah, thank you, that fixed it for me. Mine was looking just like yours. And when I locked the screen and then pulled down the notifications drawer, a pencil did appear which let me fix it all up.
I think I might know what broke it for me. When I upgraded my OnePlus 5 from OxygenOS 5.1.7 to 9.0.3, I still had jOnePlus Tools [adb/root] by JRoot3D.dev installed, and it was changing how many quick settings tiles are shown after one swipe down (in the single row). I think it was essentially doing this:
Code:
adb shell settings put secure sysui_qqs_count 8
When I used the app to change that number, all my quick settings tiles disappeared. The app has not been updated in a while, so I'm going to keep it off my phone until it's updated for Android Pie
Just as a quick update on this. This is still a problem on the T-Mobile device on 9.0.13 fully stock.
I guess this must then mean that the quick setting cannot be hidden on the lockscreen...

Actually, I think I found a better solution here.
The trick seems to be that on the unlocked version of the shade, the pencil and user switcher icons only show up when you expand the QS panel. However, if you don't have enough icons in the panel to force the need for the additional row (there is a little hint that shows up when you drag an icon that indicates that you need at least 6 icons), then you can't swipe it down, and there no icons or any warning of any sort are shown.
The shade on the lockscreen doesn't appear to enforce that icon minimum, so the pencil and user switcher show up fine (perhaps this is due to the fact that on the lockscreen, the notifications themselves don't live in the shade as they do when the device is unlocked).
It also seems like older OOS versions didn't enforce that icon minimum, so if you only had, say 4 icons (not sure who would do that), then did an upgrade, you would have this strange behavior.
