[IDEA] Status Bar Brightness changer

I had seen a friends Samsung Vibrant and he showed me how you can actually raise and lower the brightness settings of the phone by holding your finger on the status bar for a second and then swiping either left or right on it to adjust the brightness levels.
Just a cool feature if anybody is interested in investigating it.
Thanks,

I've seen this in action and it's pretty cool. Wonder if it's hiding in an .apk somewhere....

As far as I know, its in the framework Part and @kmobs tried it but needs help with the linear layout ...

Any application?
Is there any application with this feature? To change screen brightness INTO the status bar.
Any one can create such application?

You could

There are ROMs with brightness controls in the notifications.. Open Notification bar, tap the icon.. Has various options from Auto/30/100 all the way up to like 5 or so options. I tend to leave mine on Auto except when I'm using the phone as a car GPS in which case I need it brighter, and I let Tasker do that for me.

Froyo notification brightness swipe not working?

Has anyone else noticed that in Froyo you can no longer change the brightness by swiping on the notification bar?

at my version JPK i still have that "feature" and it still annoys me
i don´t like it at all.

It works, but they've updated it -- I guess because it was too easy to change brightness by accident:
Hold finger on notification area until date DISappears, then slide whichever way you want.

You sure you didn't enable the swype notification bar to adjust brightness-setting? For that, just swype across it (from left to right to increase the screen brightness, from right to left to decrease).

Where i can turn off the swype notification bar? I didnt find it in the settings...

I got it in cyanogenmod 9 at System » Status Bar » Control Brightness.
I translated it from my languaged rom to English, so these might not be the exact words, sorry.

I found it..it was under system-statusbar-brightness....but it doesnt matter if it is on or of... if i swipe from left to right or from right to left nothing happens..maybe its a bug of cm10...

You need to hold the middle of the status bar, (not dragging it down) and you will notice a change in brightness after about 2 seconds. Then swipe to change the brightness via this method. I find this helpful so everytime you pull down the bar it does not change the brightness, however it is not the most convenient having to hold the bar down first. Hope this helps.

You are my Hero...it is working fine now,only thing i had to to is not setting the brighness to Auto,then the toggle works...

[Q] Accessing Statusbar with broken touch

Hello
My glas is broken and I'm gonna change it in the next weeks.
Right now my touchscreen works everywhere perfectly, beside the statusbar. The touchscreen just starts to react under the statusbar (even in recovery mode).
Is it possible to access the statusbar instead of pulling it down? maybe with a button?
Installed rom is CM10.2.
I ask for it, because I don't want always to reboot to clear the statusbar, some notifications doesn't disappear from itself and I can't pull down the status bar to clear it.

[Wrong Section][Q] Brightness status bar and toggles

Hi, I have a Galaxy S4 with a Google Edition ROM and I'm missing the brightness slider and the toggles on the status bar I used to have on the TW...that's the only thing I miss actually, and one I really want to have, so...is there a module that enables those features? I tried Gravity Box but I only managed to control brightness directly on the status bar (I'd prefer an actual visual slider) and to bring the toggles on the screen by clicking on the top right corner of the status bar (quicksetting)... I would like to have the toggles directly on the drop down status bar...are there more options I couldn't find? Are there other modules that enable these features?
I'm looking for something like this: http://i.imgur.com/5g9Ft1W.jpg
Thank you in advance!

I believe that's called QuickSettings in GravityBox
Im not sure about the brightness slider because I haven't used that since 4.0.4, but I'm pretty sure you can add those in GB from under the Notification settings next to quick settings

Ok, thank you...I managed to bring the quicksetting in foreground when there are no active notifications with an option...it's better this way but I would just like a part of the screen with toggles that can coexist with the notifications...about the slider, can't find anything in notification settings...

Post here if you find a brightness slider mate. Cheers.
