control panel in notification drawer.

hey guys, ive had my nexus for a while, but i switched over from an iphone and on the iphone there was a plug in called sb settings which allowed you to swipe your finger across the status bar and a small control panel would drop down giving you options to dim your screen, turn wifi and other toggles on and off, and gave you your system info all without having to leave the current app you were on. i was wondering if there is such a thing for android, where you have a control panel in the notification drawer.?
looked like this on iphone

A free app called 'Bar Control' will let you put shortcuts in the notification bar.
I use this with 'Switches', a paid toggling app, and a free app 'Wifi Status' (that warns you if you have wifi on but no connection to a network).

Quick Settings free on the market will also do this. Nice little program I use it every day.

+1, works great (although it could do with a UI uplift).

exactly what i was looking for. works great. thankss. itd be cool if the led flash was supported for nexus. but it gets the job done.

It would be good, I'm stock so not sure if LED torch works with root.

the led torch app for the N1 defenitely requires root

Randon wallpaper size change

I'm enjoying my N10 but randomly the size of my screen changes. Maybe it's not all that random because it happens when I change orientation BUT it's not consistent. I can get it back to the smaller image by turning the tablet around and opening and closing apps but it's pretty ridiculous and I'm inclined to ignore it but it surely isn't right. I don't seem to find a thread where anyone else is having this problem. I suppose if I changed to a pattern of snowflakes I might not notice it but the snowmen shouldn't be changing sizes. btw I am using ADW Launcher and hope that's not the problem becasue I like it's features.
Anyone?

I used to have the same problem with my nexus 7 and I was unrooted and completely stock running no launchers. So it's not that. But still... It's something lol.

try the app: "Simple Image Wallpaper"... after installation its not under the app drawer but is found by clicking and holding on the main screen, clicking wallpaper, and then selecting "Simple Image Wallpaper" and then just going through the settings. you can also have it change images for when you rotate it so you can have the snow one on landscape and a different one for portrait mode.

Excellent and thanks. The app actually installs under "live wallpapers". It took me a minute to find it.

[Q] Status bar disappeared

Hello,
Yesterday, i cant exactly remember what i was doing, but my status bar is gone.
I checked settings -> rom control -> notification bar and nothing to do there.
It just gone.
How do i enable it back?
By the way, im runing PACman HD2 with Marc Kernel.
Thanks!

You need to tell us what disabled it, try to remember what you did.

Not to sound patronising here, but you have tried simply rebooting, right? I had a similar issue once when I was web browsing and suddenly the browser FCed and I couldn't get the status bar back. After a quick reboot, everything was back to normal.

Hold power to bring up the menu, tap "expanded desktop"

do you mean the Status Bar along the top, or the Notification Drawer which is the messages in the drop down screen?
check both of these.
using ADW launcher i can assign a swipe action (swipe up for me) to hide the status bar, maybe you have something similar?

I think change dpi in option may helps you fixing this issue
sorry for my english

[Q] Lockscreen rotation fully working?

Has anybody got lockscreen fully working? I'm using wanam mod to enable rotation. but sometimes when it rotates back to portrait, phone crashes and reboots. Also in landscape mode the screen only shows half of the wallpaper, the right half of the screen is black. I remember there was a fix for this problem back in note 1/note 2 days, but I just can't find it anymore. Any suggestion?

Alright, I solved the problem by installing gravitybox and set lockscreen wallpaper from there. and yes, before anyone asks, gravity box works for note 3.

I did a few things before everything worked.
1. Disable unlock effects in system settings.
2. Set wallpaper for both home and lock screen using system settings.
3. Disable any mod that allows multiple widgets on lockscreen and use the option in system settings only.
Try these first and see whether they work for you.

I had a module causing conflict. I disabled "samsung multiple widgets" module and everything was working fine.

Go into Vibrate Mode from Lockscreen?

I have a note 3 running stock 5.0. Is there any way to put phone into vibrate mode without entering the pin in the lock screen? Before the on-off menu after a long press on button gave you sound options on the bottom so you could quickly go to silent or vibrate without opening to the home screen.

Also when I open camera widget from lockscreen it looks like this

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

Half the screen is black. Picture come out properly but viewfinder is obscured.

Your picture issue is a software bug that'll be fixed some time
But no you can't change sounds without unlocking the phone which is very nice but also unconventional

It is not nice imo. When an impromptu meeting occurs I need to go to vibrate mode quickly. Before I could do it from power menu or by holding the volume button down.. Now I need to enter a pin. It is very inconvenient.
The opaque white notifications covering the status bar also suck.
Thank you very much for answering though. Better to KNOW there is no way around this issue than be frustrated trying to find a way to get to mute.

Well I found a way for fellow gear owners. You install wearable widgets in gear from Samsung store then install a widget called Silent Mode Widget on your note 3 and add it to wearable widgets. The silent mode widget will then function from your gear watch. While the phone is locked and in your pocket you can set vibration mode or silent mode or normal mode right from your watch! Never even have to touch phone let alone unlock with pin.
