I've been playing with the Nova Launcher >Widget>Activity>Settings and found some interesting settings that is hidden, like setup for screenshot to add or remove nav and status bar and "Mini view", and been thinking why are this settings hidden or somewhat not active,
Too bad that it doesn't do anything
I would love this feature for my G4.

i just installed quick settings.its great but one thing is missing.the "3G"toggle to turn it on or off.is it possible to set it?
is there another application like "quick settings" that includes "3g" toogle ?
anyone?
you can have notification toggles in your notification bar or you can have a widget on your homescreen that acts like a button. If you really want a toggle in your quick settings then you can find various roms that will have that feature as well as let you add other toggles and even change the order along with other things.
You need to have Galaxy S6 or Galaxy S7 with Nova Launcher and Marshmallow.
Confirmed working on SM-G925F
So, to access hidden activities you need to add Nova Launcher widget called "Activites" then scroll down to "Settings" and select something from list. Some things won't work (they are not available, need additional permissions etc.), some of them are already available via Settings. I am not responsible if tinkering with activities do something nasty to your device!
However, there are some options that are hidden but can be very, very useful.
Hint - you can "test" specific activity by long press, there's no need to put every activity on home screen and test it that way. Also, applying settings isn't dependent on Nova Launcher, ergo you can use whatever you want after changing something.
Here's what I've found:
Settings
.DisplayScalingActivity - enables condensed view of system UI, same as on S6 Edge + or Note 5, meaning smaller icons and UI elements.
.IconBackgrounds - enables homescreen and app drawer icons background like it was in Marshmallow Beta.
.ModePreviewTablet - enables additional "Reading mode" in display options. It dims screen so I don't recommend using it on bright daylight because it can be harder to see assets on screen.
.networkconnect.NetworkManagerActivity - holy **** this one is nice. Allows you to select which app can use WiFi and mobile data. Also it allows you to select which apps can use data even after data usage warning is shown.
.RunningServices - shows running services, like in Developers Menu
.Settings$AirCmdSettingsActivity - S-Pen Air Command setting. It won't work since S6/S7 doesn't support S-Pen functionality.
.Settings$MemorySettingsActivity - Shows RAM usage options like on stock Marshmallow, at least I think. Very helpful for troubleshooting misbehaving apps or battery consumption.
.Settings$ZenModeSettingsActivity - it seems like this is Do Not Disturbed (DND) on steroids. You can add additional rules and select which events can have priority.
.UsageStatsActivity - shows usage for every app on phone. It lists app name, Last time app was used and for how long.
.wifi.WifiConfigInfo - very detailed info about configured WiFi networks.
System UI
.settings.BrightnessDialog - shows small slider for brightness
.DessertCase - old KitKat hidden animation from About
.egg.MLandActivity - hidden MM game
List will be updated with new discoveries.
Link for the widget please?
I am not able to locate it will Google search.
it´s a widget of nova launcher...just add the widget to homescreen
Hello all,
I'm coming from SlimKat on S4 mini and I could not get following 3 things on B564:
fast lockscreen disable; I used to enable lockscreen protection from system settings then have Power Toggles widget to disable it; this way I needed to unlock phone just once for each turn on
use shortcut on launcher screen to make phone calls; tried Nova and GO Launcher, always having something "permission denied" message
icons on status bar are stuck to default image so don't show "custom" information: e.g. weather application do not show temperature, Power Toggle notification do not show date, Tasker cannot change its icon, etc.
any helping suggestion?
Thank you
So I used GMD in the play store to disable the navigation bar on my S8+ to further enjoy the infinity screen but now I have a gap at the bottom of my dock where it used to be. (See image) I am using nova prime as my launcher. Anyway to get rid of this gap?
try setting Nova launcher as Full screen in phone Settings > Display > Fullscreen apps
Thanks for the suggestion but didn't work.
Android is still trying to take into account the navbar even if it isn't there. I'd image it some systemUI app setting or something else within the OS.
I have mine setup to be immersive all the time and all launchers I've tried act the same. Not much of an issue for me.

Best to use the manual ADB way. No gaps
Use Shortcutter, which has an Immersive Mode switch that goes in the quick settings.
Then enable it to write settings via adb command:
Code:
adb shell pm grant com.leedroid.shortcutter android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
Then, in the Configure Services/Tiles tab, in the Immersive Mode section, select "Show Mode Selector". This makes it so every time you select Immersive Mode, it will allow you to pick between hiding nav bar only, hiding status bar only, or hiding both. The benefit of using Shortcutter is that you get that switch in quick settings, so you can switch between having both bars, either one, or neither at any time (such as when you hand the phone to a friend and they can't figure out how to use the phone ).
Personally, I select to hide both, and use a notifications widget on my desktop to look at notifications, and enjoy a huuuge display for everything I want to read or chat.
Examples:
desktop - notifications go in the blank space in the middle

Trying to access the System UI Tuner through Nova Launcher/Widget/Activities/System UI Demo but the app keeps crashing when I try to access. Anyone else having this issue, find a fix, or find another way to access the System UI Tuner?
Same problem. Would like to know how others are accessing it.
I thought that was just a stock Android thing, no?
Same here with my S10e. I think Samsung is trying to prevent us from removing the icons from the status bar.
If you go to settings and click on the search icon and search for "Status bar information", you can select/deselect items from the list like Time, Date or Battery Power.
However, it does NOTHING even if you deselect all and items like clock still persists in the status bar.
Use this:
NiceLock
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s10/themes/app-nicelock-lock-2019-launcher-pie-t3908649
You can hide everything + do much more
Same here, I just want to show seconds on my clock using System UI Tuner but I still cannot access it using S10.
