I am fully stock on 7.0. I used to use the broadcast tile and quick settings or power toggles to add it. I realize it's gone but with the new api with tiles built in has anyone released anything to the play store yet i missed? i would gladly pay for it. I miss that feature as i use the clock app at night with the screen saver option and showing the soft keys is brutal and just asking for burn in. why in the hell doesnt google minimize them on the app. totally dumb

I watched the video of the 2.2 software for the galaxy s and noticed they had an "orientation lock" button in the quick launch buttons at the top of the notification bar. I absolutely hate the automatically switching orientation setting but there is definatly times i need to use the phone in landscape and its a pain to switch it. I am wondering if this is something that is possible to add to our current software? i searched but couldnt find anything for this for the vibrant.
anyone have any ideas how to implement this? or is it something that well just have to wait and see if its an option when we get 2.2.
thanks

Would be nice, and i like how the Euro is Vibrate rather than Silent. I could do away with the Bluetooth for a auto lock. Wish Cyanogne would pick that up.
Yeah, the rotation of Android pales compared to the iphone. It's always been disappointing to me.
Have you tried Curvefish's rotation widget in the market? It's free and a very nice looking 1x1 toggle switch.
Use switch pro widget.
The ability of accessing it in the notifications bar is what I want.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Download Quick Settings in the market. Basically it gives u the option to keep it in the notification bar and access the orientation change (and ever single other setting) with a swipe and 2 clicks.
I promise u will not find a more convenient solution. The app is definitely Top 10 in the entire market.
I can't believe a developer hasn't created this yet.
I love the desktop lock feature of adw launcher. But my 4 year old will still accidentally pull down the notification panel and change settings.
So there has to be a way to add an in-memory app that prevents the panel from being pulled down.
I still want to be able to see the status bar, but just not be able to pull down the panel.
I know it's possible because I have widgetlocker and it prevents it from the lock screen.
Please put your development skills to the test!
I am stock; not rooted; and have both ICS Droid 4g, and GB Incredible 2.
Try GMD Gesture Control. With a gesture or on an app-active basis you can hide the notification bar, which in this case prevents the drawer from being opened. You still get an auditory notification, and if you're near another gadget, there are ways to get notified via browser, a backup phone, tablet, and in not too long, TVs & watches, too.
So glad to *not* hear "you" sent your boss a "drunken" nonsense text! It was the coloring apps combined with the incomparable, phone-endangering frustration (not mine) that got me to spend the $5.
adw launcher can already hide the status bar, thus locking the notification panel. But I want an app that let's me see the status bar but locks the panel (just like widgetlocker lockscreen does).
Any dev out there that can make this for me?
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.

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.
Have: Nexus 6P stock 6.0.1. Need: some customization. Items in green have a solution.
I've enabled Developer Mode and System UI Tweaker. I'd like to do this without root, or anything that would affect individual Google Play-installable apps. (The reason is, I need this device for final user release testing, so it should be what users have just from factory reset + install apps and normal OS upgrades):
Different wallpaper on Lock Screen than behind icons and widgets. (Tried: http://forums.androidcentral.com/an...-lock-screen-wallpaper-help-how-can-i-do.html - No triple dot menu visible in Wallpaper)
Full brightness on Lock screen instead of 90%, independent of brightness settings. ("OK" option: same brightness as manual brightness in Settings) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/home-lockscreen-brightness-t1704705 - no Lock Screen Options in Settings)
Disable peeking globally. ("OK" option: put them in the statusbar like 4.4.4) (I don't want to disable peeking for every new app I install: http://www.phonearena.com/news/Here...ifications-in-Android-6.0-Marshmallow_id75408) Temporary solution: I will manually disable peeking for every new app that shows them.
Global saturation setting for icons. (They're all saying "click ME!", that's an icon designer's job. With an excellent high-contrast screen like this, it's a crowd shouting.) ("OK" option: some other way of getting icons to look more Zen.) Icon packs for launchers are that "OK option", browsing tons on Google Play left Hexacon and Dual Shadow. So Hexacon.
Remove the Google Now bar from my Home Screen (without disabling any services). (As in, I taught the device my voice, so I don't need it there for me to tap. Tried: https://www.androidpit.com/how-to-remove-the-google-search-bar-from-your-android-homescreen - it's not long-tappable nor draggable, nor does it appear under Google Apps in Widgets.) Best solution so far: Nova Launcher.
I'd like to be able to do this:
Some quick way (preferably swipe) to access a more compact Quick Settings widget, like on my Xperia Z. I've reduced it to 9, can't remove "Invert Colors" and Location toggles.
Global Night Mode for everything in the System UI - to make it look similar to the Quick Settings. (This is a "like to" only because it's been promised in N. I really need it like, now. ) Best solution so far: Nova Launcher.
Basically I have the greatest phone, so I want it to look good at all times, and with the aim Clean, Fresh, Zen.
I posted here bc the forum was most specific. Feel free to refer or advise me how to best get answers as I joined tonight.
Any & all advice on single questions is appreciated Not possible is a valid answer, and I'm also prepared to wait for N if that's the answer.
I used to think of "ok google" as a novelty but its become more polished and if it remains reliable Ill continue to use it more& more. As it applies to keeping things clean it sort of does eliminate need for extra widgets.
If you have ok google everywhere u can just say " ok google...launch settings". Same goes for music apps, podcasts, youtube videos etc.
Started using a new app other day you might like called sesame edge. I set it on the right edge, virtually invisible and it brings up quick access to apps.

Thanks, trying it out. Also tried Sesame in the hope that it would let me set a different lock screen wallpaper, but it only had "their automatic lock screen wallpaper or off" as setting. I sent feedback to them, so let's see.

I dont use a lockscreen but on Pure Nexus which Im using now there is an option to set lockscreen wallpaper.
I use action launcher 3 which doesnt allow me to remove google bar (i dont think) but nova will let u do that. I like the bar cuz on action launcher i can put several shortcuts for whatever i want.
ASAP launcher is very minimal. Again you cant REMOVE the bar but swipe down and it turns into a simple clock widget.

Thx, tried Nova and it gives me Night Mode. Thanks for that Still, no way to have a different wallpaper on the lock screen than on the home screen, and I can find no Prime option for it either. Pure Nexus requires CM.
Can I mix and match this type of apps? Will they interfere with each other? Sesame seems to work with Nova at least.
What about Hi Locker? http://android.wonderhowto.com/how-to/get-back-lock-screen-customization-android-lollipop-0160204/
Can custom lock screens lock me out of my phone, make me butt dial, hog battery? I just want to change the gdmn background!
As I wrote, if some feature comes in N I'd rather wait than mess up my new phone.

Seems Im constantly tweaking things and having problems recalling exactly what I used. I know making lockscreen different from desktop is something Ive done many times. Do u have xposed? Pretty sure gravitybox has that option.
As far as butt dials, I use sweep to wake & it was a problem. Always remember to put it in your pocket screen facing out. I also need to do that when using bt headphones or else i get distortion. Anyways if i find something relevant Ill let u know.
Thx for suggestions!
I want weather, clock, and a background that matches my high-end case on the lock screen AND NOTHING ELSE, and then wherever there are icons I want a neutral background or just a color so I can see them properly. I think that's being a normal user with sensible demands.
Right now a huge dark gray or white slate COVERS the background anyway. I don't mind it, it lets me see the icons of all manner of variety and quality against something neutral, still... just allowing a background to set behind your icons seems to be an easy addition... since Froyo... Anyway, end rant about Simple Things. Android at least lets you customize them.
I'm battling notifications now. Light Manager is recommended for the 6P - testing it out now for notifications that are actually important, will report.
I know this is a noob question but i use quick settings to add a immersive mode toggle on stock rooted android o. But this makes my phone go crazy like when i put my phone down for a bit then there is a noticeable lag in wake up like 6-8 seconds. Show how do you guys activate immersive mode?
by the way i used this app to add immersive mode quick toggle https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.simonesestito.ntiles
