Can I add a "Power bar" to the Start Screen? How?
A row of toggles to turn on or off, wifi, Bluetooth, GPS, NFC, airplane mode, etc...
Peace

Search "toggles" or "switches" in the app store, there's tonnes of apps that'll do what you need. They let you add individual tiles to the Sart screen for WiFi, Bluetooth, Data, etc so you can just set them to small tiles and position at the top of the screen.
That's what I thought. Not built in to the OS customization.
OK, Thanks

Would like to ad these toggles - switches to my new Samsung ATIV S, but cannot find any app store where I can download. Please provide a source to download - Thanks

i used to have a widget on my htc hero that could turn on/off mobile data network aswell as wlan, gps and so on, think it was called power manager.
But after i migrated to the lg optimus 2x, no such option is available, even tho it appears to be the same widget as on my old phone.
I tryed searching for this but could not find anything useful, so i ask you guys if you heard of anything that could enable/disable mobile data network.
I would love to get the option in the status bar next to the current toggles (wlan, gps, rotation and so on), but a widget would suffice.
Cyanogen rom has the options to toggle all that.
For stock rom check in the market place for APNON widget
As a widget I use widgetsoid and would recommend it. You can customise what is on it and also the look to a certain extent. Been good for me
my first post was a bit unclear..
The other toggles i list in my first posts are already in the drop-down status menu, the one im missing is the mobile data network toggle.
i´ll check the widgetsoid, thanks for the hint!
Or try "Elixier", lots of toggle functions.
Market Link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=bt.android.elixir&feature=search_result
Try quick settings
I would recommend Widgetsoid.
Elixir is good in function, but it uses a lot of power. My battery drained twice as fast with Elixir compared to Widgetsoid..
I am sure some of you may already know this. But this is for those of you who haven't.
If you use a custom rom and find power widget not showing up properly, you don't actually have to reboot the phone to get it working. Just play a little with the display settings. What I did was turn off automatic brightness in settings>display and turn it back on. The power widget should now show up properly
Turn on wifi over status bar and it will show the icons on the power widget.
Thanks to share that information...

Wifi or bluetooth and it will show up just right... Strange behaviour isn't it?
Thanks for the helpful information !
Anybody have functional alternative toggles for Mini?
Or at least quickpanelsetting working with touchwiz toggles?
Thanks

you can use elixir2 on d market.. you can create your own toggles on ur status bar..but it cant replace the original one..you can see the toggles below the brightness bar..
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda app-developers app
Power Toggles is nice too
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.painless.pc
but i can't replace the stock one :/
I even tried decompiled/compile systemui and only delete brightness bar. I used many walkthrought.
Even from S III forum.
And I find those lines to delete. I deleted them, but no luck. Brightness bar is still there.
So probably status bar toggles are somewhere else located than in systemui.
Does this help:

Tried that to delete some of those toggles.
Doesnt work deleting.
Havent tried adding more.
One thing I miss from my Nexus (running KitKat) is the power control widget that, among other features, was able to toggle the location setting without having to actually go to the setting page and select one of the three. The location symbol would toggle between fully highlighted (GPS on) half-highlighted (battery saving) or not highlighted (location off). Same with NFC -- you could turn it on or off without having to go to the relevant settings page. Is there such a widget for the Z3c, or does it have to be rooted to be able to bypass the settings page? I currently use the Power Toggles app, but its NFC and location toggles (and other controls) simply open a settings page instead of actually toggling anything.

Thanks to Google it has to be rooted to bypass the settings page. I have tested Power Toggles on a rooted Z2 and it works flawless.
I'm only waiting for Android L to make things worse over here...
Currently it takes a swipe and 4 taps to turn data on from the tile. A swipe down on notification, tap on data tile, tap data switch and two back buttons return you to yr app. Would be great if the tile was an on and off switch. Has anyone a way around this i wonder ?
I would like to know that too.
I have tried some custom quick tiles app which require root but they work sometimes only and result in battery drain due to wakelocks from android system.
Maybe power toggles from the play store. And run it as a widget.

Notification Toggles
Using third party notification tiles, comment 2 covers that. Just a matter of identifying which system app is responsible for quick tiles and someone who writes code tinkering with that app. Has anyone done it yet. I'd be surprised not as this little thing is kinda crazy....
