Hey guys.
I've searched for a couple of hours for 2 apps and can't find them. I ran a search on xda and nothing.
First app:
A battery indicator that i can see in the notification area but does not have a icon on the notification bar. I want to be able to drop down the notification bar and see the status of my battery in percentages. I prefer my notification bar as clean as possible.
Second app:
Power controls in the notification area. I found Quick Settings, but that opens another app to change the settings. I'm looking for a way to activate wifi, bluetooth and so on just by taping something in the notification area.
Thanks.
So, the conclusion is that there are no such apps?
It s only too much.
Quick settings is very impressive. It starts the app from the notification bar, thats right.
But, what would you all switch from the notification bar:
Wifi
APN
Brighness
GPS
Auto Sync
Bluetooth
Airplane Mode
etc...
There are too much options for one notification bar.
I'm thinking that an app like this would let me choose 3-4 toggles. I realize it's impossible to have them all.
Oh, and a toggle does not take a row, instead all the toggles should be on the same row but with separators between them.
OK, I' have to say, that I never found such a programm. Sorry.
Something like this:

So the default power bar widget won't work for you? It's pretty much exactly what you pictured, however a widget.
If you want to choose and have your own order, use beautiful widgets.
Why try and cram this into the notification area? You have 5 desktop screens (more with add-ons and custom ROM's) to put this stuff. Navigation from screen to screen is fast and easy (even if you hate the swipe thing).
Or this even? http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/com.extendedcontrols/
Dunno, just lost as to why I guess.
Yes, you are right, it looks like the power settings widget, but i want it in the notification area to be able to change settings without leaving the current app and stop using the widget. I need the space for other stuff
moved to the Q&A section
What about quickdesk? Kmobs hads mentioned it on twitter couple of times. you can put anything you want even the settings widget and can change it without leaving the app.

Hm, its getting close to what i want. I'll give it a try.
UPDATE: It looks promising but it hijacks the "once press home button" functionality, meaning i can't get home. Uninstalled!

Are you talking about the widget? If yes, its not what i'm looking for. Like i said, both apps need to display something in the notification area, so no widgets and no notification bar icons.

i never tried it but damn is too bad the home button gets removed didn't know it. but the app is in beta maybe it will get fixed.
UPDATE: Today the QuickDesk app was released on the market and it fixed the issue, so now i can use it
One problem solved.
PS: I strongly recommend QuickDesk so go download it.

So... What would you like to see on screen lock?
I am researching how to make a lock screen, its current status is the image:

Hi,
that's a agood idea.
For me, the lock screen should contain my important information such as:
My next meetings
icons showing unread messages, mails, reminders
Control the media player
...
by the way, look at the S2U2 for WM (http://s2u2.ac-s2.com/)
3 words: LockInfo for iPhone
Great lockscreen mod. Wish I could have it on my Evo. Lots of screen room for all that info
Any new texts (tidbits)/emails/last 2-3 missed calls (name + number or just name)
Okay, new versión:
Do you like?
i quite like that
My ideal lock screen would be like my old meizu m8 had, quick pull up to messages, phone pad, and main page plus music controls
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ve_R9YKuyiY
You should add a button titled "Me" at the top that person can click to call your home phone number or an emergency contact. That would be very helpful for people who forgot their phone somewhere and need to find it.

That. Is. Awesome! If you changed the icons to the glass icons of LauncherPro or allowed custom icons.. :O~
By the way, is the unlock bar final?
Nice start, unlock bar is kinda too long though. Also change "Lock Screen" to "Slide to Unlock". Change the notification bubbles to green like Android, make them optional colors in settings.
Can you give framework-res or other sources of this screen lock?
Maybe a weather-widget would be a nice addition. Furthermore music-controls would be useful (only when playing music).
Actual state:

Wow, that's looking very nice now. I think the notification icons at the bottom should be a single colour though, rather than the full colour icon, otherwise it looks like an app icon you can just tap.
You can add big clock on the top...
If I may add my $.02 to the mix..
First of all, this looks awesome!
Here's what I would like to see in a lock screen:
Time, Battery Percentage, Date, Media Controls
You don't need the missed call icons or anything, because you can see that on your notification bar...It's wasted space.
I DO like the idea of the "call me" idea with a pre-programmed number attached to it. I think this would even be a great app, linked with GPS and SMS.
**Someone puts in the incorrect unlock code more than 3 times, and it sends a SMS to a predetermined number with your phones coordinates attached.
Update: (Will soon be available in the market, its name: Simply Lockscreen)
The icons in the statusbar and below are not definitive
Also please have a unlock tone, nothing harsh or too low, but similar to the iPhone. Also put your location under or somewhere near the time. Here is probably one of the best lockscreens I ever used on my iPhone, would love to seen somebody implement something similar for Android.
Ive always felt like info on the lockscreen should be of more importance than the actual lock or look of lock. Sorry if I'm going iPhone crazy, but it's not about the actual phone but about the info being displayed. Also give people options to show what they want, IE: Weather, Calender, Emails, Missed Calls, Text Messages since a lot of people like/want different things on there lock screen.
Im coming from WM cooking, and just started with theming on my Nexus S.
But im missing a key ingredient on the N S.
and that is from Galaxy S i had, quick access to on/off swithes for wifi, bluetooth, silent etc. see screenshot.
if anyone can help me or build it for me i would be forever greatful as this feature is one of the best one.

Stock Android 2.3.1 (which Nexus S) uses doesn't have that.
PS. Is it really necessary to write in bold/red/italics? Man it was annoying having to edit the quote to remove all that.
my work around is to stick the Power Control widget on a screen of my choice
it's included with stock Android
but there is no option to attach it to the status screen

Again, CM has the setting to change the colors and the items in the status bar power widget
Widgetsoid does a great job at a power control widget and it is free.

I've missed this from my Galaxy S too, but the best work around I've found is Quick Settings - search on appbrain (cant post links as I'm 'new') and configure it to display in the notification shade, but to hide the icon in the notification bar.
If there is another solution to properly get buttons as on the Galaxy S ROMs (other than the often suggested - "flash CM7") I'd love to hear of it though. I know the notification shade can't be edited by a simple .apk, but this isn't the first time I've seen this request and would have thought it really ought to be possible somehow without delving into the deepest darkest recesses of the android system -but of course I am probably wrong
Hi all,
with the upgrade to ICS, there is now the Settings option always in the notification window when you pull it down.
Is there any way to remove this?
It just takes up space preventing me from seeing notifications I actually want to see.
It is not difficult to get to the settings screen by just pressing the menu button and then selecting Settings, so it's not really any more efficient.
Plus, once you have you phone setup, you don't really need to go into settings that often (I use widgets to toggle things like wifi, BT, gps, rotation, screen brightness and timeout).
thanks,
Rich
Having same question
Yeah, I just upgraded to ICS today and would like to remove that Settings from notification too... Anyone?

Same here.
Anyone else noticed their phone getting a lot hotter than it did on gingerbread? :s
Its a feature in stock ics. If you want away with look for a custom rom that doesnt have it.
Dont think there is any such rom though
Me too this feature of ICS (4.0.4) is anoying me, any updates?
I guess it is not only on the Galaxy Note, it impact all devices, right?
Do we know if this is improved on Jelly bean?

I don't understand why this is anoying? For me it is a natural place to have the settings access, because it is allways available. So in 2 touches I can open the settings menu, which I do very frequently, by the way.
On GB, the only way is to press the menu button on any home screen (with no app opened). To have this, I need to press home, press menu and only then touch the settings option.
So, I think that ICS implementation is better, at least for those that go frequently to the settings page.
Maybe for those that don't do it often, this option is irrelevant - but I wouldn't imagine it would be anoying to some one.
But, I understand that our beloved Note is used by a very wide audience, with different expectations and uses for their phones.
So, yes, it would be a good thing to have the ability to configure what would appear or not on the notification screen.
But, as far as I know, JB is like ICS and HC.
It is annoying because it waist space, forcing you to scroll down to see the actual notification (as indicated above).
And for me it is easy to access my frequent Settings, because I use Wigetsoid to change them from my Home and the Notification. And if I need to access a un-frequent one, I use the task manager of ICS to switch to Settings (1 long press on Home then one press on Settings).
Also it is misusing the Notifications for shortcut, since Settings is not a notification
I'm using Rocket ROM v7 now and the settings option takes up a lot less space and I can see a lot more notifications.

Go into settings apps..
start with apps you do not know. Look at there icon. see if you see one similar. If not then stop one app running at a time check to see if its gone . Continue until you find the program..
Good Luck

To expand on this I would check to see what apps are in menu > settings > application > running
Looks like the icon that pops up for watching porn. It's permanent. :silly:
Kidding aside, I don't know what that gear is, but on the SGS3 there was a similar issue brought up and it wound up being a notification bar notification toggle icon.

Do you have the Power Controls Widget installed? There was an update to this particular widget yesterday and now it's showing the same on mine (gear)... Not sure why they added it to the notifications ...
Have you updated your tablet yet might be the update icon if not its a persistent app that's running in the background and use a app called startup manager it will help you figure out the app.

That's definitely the power control widget causing that. You were able to hide it easily until the most recent update, and I haven't figured out how to hide it since

you can hide notifications for any app in jellybean - settinsg > applications > find the application > untick 'display notifications' (or whatever it says)
Don't forget about the new JB feature.
If you hold down a notification, it will give you an "App Info" selection.

Yeah, that's exactly what it is. When Power Controls was background updated yesterday, the setting 'Notification Icon' in the app settings was reverted to 'default' (which displays the gear icon). I had previously set this to 'transparent' but now notice that that setting still takes up a slot on the notification bar & looks weird when it's sandwiched between 2 notification icons. I've since set the 'Notification Icon' setting to 'Battery 3' and have removed my Battery Widget? Reborn! widget & notification icon. Thanks to everyone for their help & suggestions. This is by far the best community I'm a member of!
Hi guys!
Just move to android from iPhone's since day one. I do have it about 5/6 months and I was hable to sort all of the different settings and I can say that I'm really happy with the change.
I only have one little problem that makes me crazy, can't get notifications sort by time like the iPhone, so I constantly get "Ding" and can't tell what it is calling my attention... I talked this issue with a friend from office, he has a Xiaomi, and it does have the notifications sort by time, the screen wakes and highlight the notification when arrives. That's exactly what I need! Tried some apps like Glympse but only change the home screen and not the notifications on the status bar.
Why Galaxy notifications are set like this? is there a order that I can understand?

"lightbox_next": "Next",

it happens because of "priority notifications"
Swipe a notification to the right/left just a little until you can tap the gear, then check whether or not they're priority.

Thanks a lot a very simple answer to a question I have been struggling with since I changed devices. My thanks sir. It's a small thing that I wasnt sure I could change.
Same here
Hi everyone. I am facing the same problem, and it has nothing to do with priorities, it seems Android is set that way but I can't figure out how Android sorts notifications; I've tried replacing the notification bar by some other app but it still sorts it the way Android does. I've searched all over the internet but no solution so far. It seems that only Emui and IOS counts with that feature. Has anyone find a solution?
I'm having the same issue with the new s10. Did anyone ever find a solution to this problem?
I Think the Notifications are sorted by the Type. So notifications wird popups are shown higher then notifications with just Sound.
I bet the option doesn't exist because of Google's position as an ad company. Apps are essentially advertisers and they likely abhor the idea that their notifications could be user sorted. They want prioritisation.
Chronological Notifications
If the Notifications are not chronological then they are useless. It is absolutely ridiculous and unproductive to have to scroll for two minutes just to try to figure out why your phone just beeped. I use BlackBerry Hub. It's a third party email app that also conglomerates all of your phone's app and calendar notifications and displays them in proper chronological order. I highly recommend BlackBerry hub if you have multiple email/social media accounts managed on one phone. Otherwise good luck trying to figure out who is trying to reach you with these Google add based notification displays.
I have this exact problem in my Oneplus 6. Is there any solution? I hate Android due to this. Why there is no simple option in the settings to sort notifications based on the time they arrived?
i tried so much its so sucks
u can try notification master app
u can see all notifications arranged bu time
I'm going F'n nuts with these Android notifications. Same problem, I get an alert sound then check notifications and I have no F'n idea what just alerted me. They need to be sorted by reverse date/time order with the latest at the top (ideally). Who the F wrote the notification code? Do they even use their own phone?
