What happened to the torch widget normally found on Galaxy phones?
Ad and spyware free
There is a Torch in Quick settings - you can toggle that on and off- is that what are you referring to? If you need an actual "Widget" - I don't believe there is a WIDGET for torch that comes with Galaxy PHones but you can certainly find one on Play Store. ???

If anyone use rom that has AppWidgetPicker.apk (app that group widget when you add widget to homescreen), you will experience no icon when you add the power widget. Oceangreen's method is use to fix that bug.
Thats like saying long press on the screen to place widgets on the homescreen.
Very useful information - sticky this

Thanks, it works.
I have Simply Honey 3.1 ROM installed and its an issue that the powercontrol widget doesn't show any icons. I tried this and there it was! The powercontrol widget icons are back!
This is what i did.
1. Added the powercontrol widget to the desktop. (no icons are appeared, only the empty boxes)
2. I pulled down the notifications bar, and enabled GPS toggle. Voila! the powercontrol widget's icon all appeared.
3. I turned off GPS in the powercontrol widget. (all the powercontrol widget's icon, remained)
Yeah it worked! Some custom roms or badly upgraded roms tend to have invisible icons in power control widget. Please state that in the first post so that users wont get confused
Kool, worked like a charm

No it's describing a workaround for a bug.
What you've described is a feature.
A bug is the opposite of a feature. In other words you couldn't be more wrong.
I ran a quick search, but didn't quite find what I was looking for, so here goes.
I'm looking for a way to display ALL notifications on my lockscreen. I use Talk and Trillian a lot and all of the lockscreen notification apps that I've looked at seem to limit you to Calls/SMS/GMail.
I've been using a combination of Widget Locker and Home Notifications Widget, to some success, but overall I've found it incredibly laggy.
Is there some App or lockscreen replacement that I've missed?
This is for my rooted milestone, CM7.

Hmm.
I don't know how much "notified" you want to be, you could try this app...
Pretty much I'm just looking for a list of my notifications on my lockscreen. More or less what's on the pulldown but available just... well, there when I power my screen on.
I've since upgraded - got a wild hare up my ass and bought an xt860 4G (Droid 3) - but I'm going to keep watching this thread because this is something that I'm still looking for.
Look for FlyScreen on Market.

Im using the lockscreen policy app currently as I dont want instant access to my camera or other widgets, however I do want to use the dashclock widget and nothing else ?
is there any way to limit my phone to just this widget other than the default lockscreen widget when using the lock screen policy app ?
I just got my wife the GS5 and she loves the phone except for one issue--the alarm clock does not display its next alarm on the lock screen. Is there a way to display the next scheduled alarm on the lock screen? Coming from a nexus, it was automatic and very useful.
Thanks
Hi All
Is there any solution or workaround for this issue?
Thanks.
It's presumptive and rather unreasonable to expect that some feature that happens to be a personal favourite should be on all phones.
There are many ways that you could add this to the S5. Zooper widgets, preferably in conjunction with Dynamic notifications would be one way.

It's also presumptive and rather unreasonable to advice without knowing...have you tried your advice? Could you make it work? If so, elaborate, please!
I heard that https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alarmclock.xtreme.free this app should be able to do what you want. But maybe it won't if it needs to display a widget, because lollipop doesn't support lockscreen widgets.

I've been using this very app (paid version) for years - unfortunately no, it cannot (S5 or Note 4).
Coming from an S5, Note 4 or other very recent TW device.
What have you noticed is different in this S6 TW/ROM?
Removed:
- App drawer. No option to sort alphabetically. (Only on T-mobile? has the option)
- Capacitive Touch Keys led/backlight setting removed. (Available on At&T only)
- Clock has removed Smart Alarm. Now there is a new option to increase volume over a non adjustable time.
- No Widget for Flashlight. No option to long press the volume up to turn on.
- Messages, Import/Export via xml is gone completely.
- No options for LED indicator. Just on/off.
- LED notifications for third party apps is spotty. Still testing..
- Default actions. When plugging in headset you no longer get a customizable list of apps shown in the notification area.
Added:
- Pop-ups for Notifications. New. Plus, no setting to disable. They slide in from the top on whatever you are doing.
- Charging/Fast Charging shows how much time left until fully charged. (nice)
Maybe this will help ROM developers to see what people are unhappy about missing what they had on their old device.
As well as others that may be interested in the differences.
"pop up" notifications are Heads Up and are part of AOSP
Why do you need a widget for flashlight? There is a quick toggle for it.
EDIT: It occurred to me that the flashlight quick toggle may also be new in AOSP for 5.x -- so that's probably why it's in a different place

Don't really care if it's in AOSP. This is a TW Samsung ROM. They can improve and change. People expect them to in fact.
Not going to get into the whole AOSP vs customized argument. (Google also removed Silent Mode. They haven't been making the brightest of decisions lately..)
It's annoying as hell.
Time yourself getting to a widget and getting to a quick setting down at the end of the row.
Widget is faster. No reason to remove the option.

My point on heads up is that you're complaining about it in the context of TW... But it's not a TW feature, it's an AOSP one.

Did I need to be that specific with my title? I thought it would be pretty clear. Should I have said "TW/Rom/New to all recent Samsung device users/firmware/anything else"?
You're picking nits..
The two that are killing me:
1) No long press recent apps for menu
2) No direct dial and direct text widgets (ones imported from my S5 through Nova still work, which makes it even more annoying).

How is a quick setting toggle not quicker than a widget. That's just dumb to say...

Maybe if you have lots of home screens.
Or had the toggle in the first 5 options. But I'm sure people have other things there already.
I can get to a widget faster and easier.
It was an option and was removed. Why? No good reason.
The more I'm using the S6 the more apparent it is that Samsung's slimmed down TW is lacking many options that used to be there.
If you want a widget for flashlight just add torch to the my places widget. You can add direct call to that too

Interesting. I had to search for what that is.
I have no my places widget available using Nova.
Only when using stock launcher. Which is especially awful this time around without even alphabetical sort.
The widget for flashlight was available with Nova on the S5.

Thanks, never knew about that widget, but it is one of those TW only widgets...the old direct call way, you can direct email, direct message etc...I wonder if it's a lollipop or Samsung omission?
