[Q] Modify Power Control widget

Is there a way to modify the default Power Control widget to include additional toggles.
I need a way to toggle "Settings"->"Wireless and network"->"Mobile networks"->"Use packet data" to disable data (3G/HSDPA) and save battery power when not needed.

There are apps in the market that will do this already. I use Ultimate Juice Defender myself. It has customizable schedule and settings. I keep mine set to disable data when the screen is off and disable wifi after being disconnected for more than 2 minutes.

... or you can use the power control widget.

... or you can verify what your talking about before posting.
Power control widget allows you to control brightness but there is a bottom limit, screen filter adds a shade of gray to the entire screen making it dimmer than the lowest brightness setting.

I'm late but you're welcome, Screen filter takes the brightness down to the lowest setting, which is below stock. The default is 8, and you can take it below that with that app

[Tutorial] AUTO BRIGHTNESS 100% Working[NO ROOT]

Hello Guys!!
Have anybody missed AUTO BRIGHTNESS feature in MINI because lack of Ambient Light Sensor,
If yes, the don't worry. I have an easy solution for Auto Brightness, Yes you can use Auto Brightness on GALAXY MINI:victory:

Download and install These two app from following links:-
Lux Auto Brightness
Tasker
After Installing these apps follow these steps:-
Lux Auto Brightness:-
Go to Lux settings
Tap on Sample Collection
Tap on Select light reading source
Select Camera
Then get back to main settings menu
Tap on Mopdify linked samples
Tap on Luma TAB
Tap on ADD, set brightness (yello bar) to 4% Luma value to 1 and press ADD
Add 3 more links with these values= 35%-70|100%-80|50%-120|
Exit Lux
Tasker:
Open Tasker, tap on Plus Sign(+) on main screen
Tap on Event
Select Display in Event Category

Tap on Edit Button
Scroll Down and Tick in front of Refresh Backlight brightness? Under Force
Press Done, then press back and back again

Thats all work to do, now your dvice have Auto Brightness feature:silly:
To test, just press power button and lock the screen and then cover front (rear Camera if your device don't have front) camera with finger and press power button again, screen will Light up wait 1-2 seconds, Screen brightness will reduce, remove finger, lock unlock screen and brightness will resume to normal.
I have tested this for full day on my L9 and got no any battery drainage.
You can modify Linked Samples Values to your comfort zone for batter sample values you can also search other XDA forums.
Guys try it and let me know how you feel
if you got any issue please post, I'll try to solve it (Coz m also new to TASKER & LUX so may be it will take little bit time to Solve:fingers-crossed
EDIT: You can uncheck "Presistent notification" in general settings of Lux Auto Brightness, If you think it is draining your phone's battery. This will also disable the annoying Lux icon from notification.

Hello hsay,
Thanks for using and appreciating my tutorial :good:
I am using TASKER, some times android's task manager kill lux services, so tasker force resume these services again.
so when ever your phones screen turn on tasker will resume lux to adjust brightens

Go to settings - notification panel and check if brightness adjustment is check.
Swiping from dark side of Galaxy S5.

I had to hard reset the phone

I fixed this using Night Mode from Play apps
This happened to me. I read on another forum that someone fixed this by installing "Night Mode" from Google Play apps and toggling the app to be ON, then toggling it to be OFF. I did this, and immediately my auto brightness slider and toggle box were back in the notifications panel.
Hope this helps anyone else searching for a fix for this problem.

I can confirm that "Night Mode" app fixed the very same issue on my Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini.

Thanks

How to disable the lighting on the capacitive keys?

I find the capacitive keys lighting up to be rather annoying. An early post says that only the at&t variant of the s6 allows the option to disable the lighting on the capacitive keys. Is there any workaround that would allow me to do it? Perhaps there is some tweak requiring root.

Are you referring to the touch key light duration?
Simply navigate to Settings > Display > Touch key light duration, and switch the setting to "Always off

There is no such option but yes, that is what I was referring to.

Pretty certain the only way to disable the capacitive button lighting is to put your phone in power saving mode. Settings > Battery.
You can shut off the touch vibration any time from Sound and Notification > Vibrations.

Battery saving mode does do the trick. I just wish I could disable the lighting without needing the battery saver on

There's an app in the play store that shuts it off and then you can uninstall the app I think it's called galaxy capacitive lights
