Quick Settings

Does anyone know if you can enable quick setting in the notification bar? To enable/disable things like wifi, bluetooth, etc.
I found this quick settings app apparently imported from Sense 5, but I have Sense 5 and don't see these quick setting anywhere...

At least two ROMs have this so far (Trickdroid and Renovate). They're not 4.2 quick settings, more like the toggles you get in CyanogenMod and Touchwiz (which is a superior implementation anyway, imo).
I don't know if anyone has it as a mod for the stock ROM.

I see. Hopefully we either get 4.2 soon or someone will release an add-on for the stock Rom... It's really annoying...

If you want to add a CM style quick settings to your notification bar without committing to a ROM with it added, I can highly recommend Power Toggles from the Play Store. Highly configurable and works a treat.

+1 to this. Coming from an S2 I really missed this feature. Power toggles does the job almost perfectly, with the only downside being that you have to have an icon in the notification bar. You can make it transparent but it's still there. I prefer to have the battery monitor icon so I can see battery percentage. Something else I missed

Xposed modules

Which Xposed modules work with our device? The only one I know so far is Wanam.
Are you guys using any others?

I am using App settings to change the dpi of my browser and a few other apps.

I use ROM Toolbox to change the DPI on the phone at the global level.

Xtheme works to an extent, but you need Wanam for some of the finer details. I have the LunarUI skin working on mine, but you can still see parts of touchwiz here and there. IconThemer doesn't work from what I can tell, so I installed apex to take care of the icons.

I'm using:
GravityBox (even though its not touchwiz base, and dev doesn't officially support it, for what I need it rocks).
AppSettings(dpi per app but also will force status bar to be shown or keep screen alive, crazy cool stuff)
Wanam Exposed: This is your base touchwiz mod set
XQuickSettingsToggles (better toggle theme/control)
Favorite thing I've done with this since we dont have uber custom roms is something so simple, but...
When I unlock my phone (4 digit pin) I have it set so it will auto select 'ok'. Just one click savings gets me all tingly inside!
Other stuff:
7 toggles across top
Status bar colors/icons
Hiding things like keyboard selection and wifi notifications
Expanded Sound Panel
Expanded 'restart'
Holding 'back' key long kills foreground app
Hide/Custom Carrier label
Just to name a few!

[Q] Transparency at Android Buttons area is gone after Sytem Update

Hey Guys! Yesterday the camera update arrived in my Moto X (Brazilian Retail version). And a great feature is now gone.
The transparent area behind the android digital buttons is now fully black. This is annoying me. Did it happen with you too?
My System Version is now 139.12.35.ghost_row.Brasil.en.BR.
Thanks everyone!

I believe this is indeed a new change in the update. They got rid of the transparency for whatever reason.

I'm still transparent on Verizon.

i've noticed this too. i had a gsm dev edition on the camera ota and it had a fully black bar. i now have an at&t one also on the camera update and it has a transparent bar. weird.
edit: i'm wrong, it's black on AT&T version too on homescreen. the camera is still transparent, as was gsm dev edition after update.

Are u using non stock launcher?

I do. I'm using Apex Launcher to use some custom icons and have a better home screen alignment.
but I didn't had this issue when I first installed it. So if I go back to stock launcher I'll have my opacity back? If I do it and then install Apex Launcher again will the problem be solved? Well, let's check.

yeah apex here. can confirm on my wife's pre-ota version moto x the nav bar is transparent in apex launcher. on mine post-ota, black bar apex, transparent stock.

Same problem, on AT&T post-update. I couldn't remember if I had transparent in Nova before rooting and getting the Xposed modules, so after the update, I just assumed it was because I was using a third-party launcher and lost root. It is still transparent on stock launcher, but stock launcher sucks.

Black bar on NOVA. Even tried setting transparency with GravityBox and no dice. It gets semi-transparent but the color is all off and it gets weird graphical glitches when you hit a button.

Mine is black with Nova as well.

So do we know (a) why and/or (b) a fix?

I just updated (vzw) and noticed this change as well. I am in Nova, and didnt pay attention to stock, is it transparent in the stock launcher for sure?

Yeah, I tried a couple this afternoon, and only the stock launcher had the transparent nav bar. Does anyone have any clue what part of the system needs to be modified to get transparency to stick all the time?

Thought I'd add my name to the list of people who noticed this. It would be great to have this back, especially to keep the AMOLED screen healthy where the navigation bar is (so that it wears evenly with the rest of the screen).
Posted from the comfort of my Moto X.

Add me to this list. Post ota using apex, its black. However, I notice that if I reboot, it is transparent until I open an app or app drawer.
You guys getting the same thing?

Did anyone else get the Nova beta update? There's a new setting in "Look and Feel" for transparent nav bar but it's not working for me. I have it checked but my nav bar is still black. Anyone else experiencing this?

Phone On 4.1 but showing 4.0 Icons...

I have nova launcher and a kit kat theme but when I click recent apps, all the icons that show are for GB. I absolutely don't want GB icons even when they should be switched to the themed Kit Kat icons. The problem I think was I did a restore on the phone and it was already rooted and BL unlocked.

First off, 4.0 is ICS, not GB. Do you have an XTheme active? What kind of restore did you do?

My fault... I'm used to seeing the themes the way they show up with the themes but now it's not. In the app drawer it takes to the icons but it's in the recent app's view and when I'm closing apps it shows the default icons not the theme icons.

And I'm on the stock rom just nova launcher rooted and bootloader unlocked.

Icon pack will only work within the launcher.

Nova icons will not change system wide, ie they won't change in recent apps menu. If you want to use an icon pack system wide, I suggest looking up Unicon on the Play Store. Also, Unicon requires the Xposed Framework to be installed. Look it up

I had an issue with xposed framework a little bit ago where it started fc all my apps on startup and I couldn't get past it. Kind of learry about re-installing it at this point.

Is their anyway to get rid of the white background in the app drawer and settings?

I am thinking about trading my Note Edge in for a Nexus 6, played with one today at the store and I really liked it, the screen is amazing. But one thing about Lollipop turned me off big time and may be a deal breaker. The white background in the app drawer and settings, this is the ugliest thing ive ever seen, completely blocking the beautiful screen in the background. Looked in the settings on the display phone in the store and could not find anything to change it, please tell me their a way. Because if not, I will not use 5.0 til this is resolved!

Use a launcher off the play store. There are dozens that allow you to customize all you want.

Nova Launcher will allow you to set transparency in your app drawer. You will have to run a custom ROM to get rid of the white settings.

The settings is black on LS ROM. And Nova launcher works great too for black backgrounds.

Oops.

Thanks guys, I was worried.
