How can I get the WiFi/Bluetooth quick settings tiles to act as toggles and not menu shortcuts? With marshmallow a single click enabled/disabled WiFi, with N it only seems to open a "quick list" of available wifi networks. Is it just a fundamental change Google made in N?
Thanks

i know that there isnt a toggle that does 2g/3g but it brings you to the system settings.
now that i have root is there a toggle that just does 2g/3g?
Toggle settings.
That application we spoke of earlier in that other thread has that section built-in on the user interface. There are TWO tabs for various toggle options.
There is one that can adjust the data usage. GPRS, EDGE, and 3G.
EDGE is essentially 2G.
i have the application, but it brings me to the system settings page and requires another key press, i was hoping that maybe with root it is possible to just place a widget on the desktop which toggles between 2g and 2g/3g without having to go into the system settings.
Beautiful Widgets.
If I'm not mistaken I do believe that they offer a little toggle that can do just that.
Double-check that.
They might, if so...it won't come free. However, I have it ported from a website and the weather widget they offer is brilliant.
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.
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

^^^ this is the app to use! I got some custom tiles that work great.
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.
Do someone know what this is? I had never seen this icon on my statusbar

It's the RCS icon. You can deactivate via Phone - Settings - RCS - Calling Settings - Advanced Calling Settings - Turn Off Rich Communications
If you don't have this option, you can't do anything without root.
Okay thanks, I have a custom Rom with root installed. But I found the setting.
This icon is really ugly.
Settings -> About Phone -> Icon Glossary
For future reference, this tells you what every icon is, but not what it means necessarily.
