Hey all,
having been used to custom roms (slimkat) on my old phone, I got used to certain features. One of them was choosing which tiles appear in the quick settings pull screen. Is there any way to do that on the Droid Turbo without root/xposed? Would love screen rotation to be available. Thanks.
This was one of the very first things I tried to do with this phone. Unfortunately from my experience I have not found any options to change anything about the pull down menu.

You need root to directly change the quick tiles.
As a workaround, I use the app "power toggles" which puts a custom bar in the dropdown menu that can be configured (I too need to be able to change screen rotation quickly).
I think Lollipop has a shortcut in the dropdown!

Themer allows customized toggles on the drop down. And fully supports the droid turbo.

I would love to know as well as this is typically a root deal. I have survived with zooper, widgetsoid and popup to create the toggle panel in the center that pops up when I press the gears toggle button. Easier than pulling down panel and then pressing the tiles button to show all tiles that does not include all the toggles I use.
Under the General tab in the Themer options, you will see a selection for Notification Toolbar. Select this. Use your standard launcher and viola! Customizable? toolbar on the drop down, including a flashlight!

Iade a mistake, I thought you could edit the toolbar but it seems like you can't it has virtually no different toggles. My bad

Bummer I was going to look into that. With the bigger screens nowadays I prefer a ribbon in the notification area so I can just scroll over to the less used tiles when needed but I've found no option for enabling that in xposed or via the market.

Well you can do that with power toggles or notification toggle. Play store apps
I have power toggles and have set a bar in the notification area but I don't see any option to make it into a ribbon, where is the setting for this?
Power toggles is amazing. It also allows access to volume sliders. IDK why android doesn't allow the volume buttons to open all the volume sliders. :\

I would like to be able to control music from the drop down of the notification bar. Using Widgetsoid I can get the controls in the notification bar but they do not function at all, is there any fix for this?
Also the widgetsoid widget when placed on the homescreen works perfectly it just doesnt work in the notification dropdown.

The current version of CyanogenMod allows for custom items to be placed in the status bar. There are options for play, forward, back, and pause. I use it and it works great.
That's cos some roms don't have the ability to have more then one touch function widget per notification line, I forget what's it's called but you need to enable the function in the frame work res file. Not a quick or easy thing to do.
Widgets in the notif bar is awesome.

Thanks for the responses. My phone isn't rooted but this is reason enough
If you need help rooting, I posted this in another thread last night.
Third, One Click Root is very idiot proof. But I will run you through a very brief guide: Download and install the driver for your respective computer's OS here and download the latest version of Pete's One Click Root. http://www.psouza4.com/droid3/ Then, enable USB debugging by going under settings-> Applications-> Development, and checking the box. Assuming you have the correct drivers installed on your computer, you should plug your phone in and allow it to recognize the device and such. After it's all done, open up Pete's One Click Root and simply click Root My Phone. Let it do it's thing, then you are done.

Have you considered Widgetzoid? You can create a widget with the media buttons and have it placed in the pull down bar.
Make sure you have the correct widgetsoid (two versions), and do any other selections work from the notification bar?

I am using widgetsoid 2.x and have succesfully placed the music controls in the notification bar but all they do is activate a popup which allows me to control music which is cool but i would like to use them in the notification bar dropdown like you can on the LG revolution.
I think will root my phone sometime this week most likely with Maverick 2.0 as it seems to be pretty solid
Does anyone know if darkdroid supports widgets in the notification bar?
Hey all,
I know rom development is in the works, but I feel like I'm lost without toggles in the "pull down notification" area. I was put on to "Power Controls" from the Play Store and it works great. It's free, customizable, and works without root for those that aren't into that sort of thing!
You can find it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.painless.pc&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
Hope this helps a few folks out!

just a heads up to your heads up.. i used this app with ICS and loved it, was exactly what I needed in the notification bar. However with JB this app hurts the experience. In JB the top notification is expanded for greater viewing and actions. This app is treated as a notification and will always be treated as your top notification and you lose the whole JB notification functionality.
Notification Toggle fits well. ICS icons match and notification priority and icon can be changed so it's almost seamless.

I use Elixar 2. It's pretty nice, adds toggles to your pull down notifications. I don't think it requires root (though some of the features in it do if you want to use them all).

I have been using a similar app called Widgesoid to implement that toggle for a while. I had been using it in 4.0.4 and it is still there since upgrading to 4.1.1 and I expand my emails all the time to see who said what. Maybe it is this app(people said the same thing about Widgetsoid), or because I already had it installed when upgrading, but I don't know what you mean by losing that functionality. Still works fine for me.

I use the "widgetsoid" app to create a permanent occurrence of customizable toggles in the Notification Tray. My primary setup includes: airplane mode, wifi, wifi tether, bluetooth, rotation lock, screen brightness, flashlight.

But that can only be used while on the home screen. Having them in the notification section allows quick access anywhere there is a status bar visible.

What do you mean by "click something to get to the toggles?" Just swipe the notification shade down with two fingers to show the toggles. Tap a toggle to go into its settings or tap and hold to toggle the function.

There's no way to add new toggles to the noti. shade right? I'd kill for a flashlight switch there.

There is. It's called "Power Toggles" You can add many toggles (including flashlight) right below the date in the notification drawer. You don't even have to be rooted for this.

Go to playstore download an app called power toggles. Open the app and configure what toggles you want on notification bar. It will be the same as in samsung

Have you Checked out Xposed Framework and Gravitybox?
It allows you to turn your quicksettings into toggles. The main reason why I used gravitybox was the torch & wifi AP toggle plus it was just update so you can rearrange the order.
This option might be better if you want to keep android looking stock. Also Xposed framework brings in all kinds of options you'd expect with custom roms.
I'm hoping we get these kind of toggles on the Moto X. This is my Gnex. I don't know why moto didn't add the option to add more toggles like the SIV and G2.

Sorry to bring back a fairly old post but I have been looking for an Xposed module to do Notification toggles. I thought Gravity Box did it but I cant find it. Am I overlooking it or did it lose that feature along the way?

I've customized them already. I want them as notification toggles not tiles on their own curtain. There is no setting I can find to turn off the rules and make them toggles on the notification curtain.

If you long press they act as toggles (that behavior can be changed as well). I know what you mean though. Maybe you can look at "Power Toggles" in the play store.

I really like Notification Toggles in Play. If rooted you can install as a system app and get true 1-touch state switching.

This. With gravity box..you just long press the tile and it toggles....no need to go into settings like when you just press the tiles quick.
Most...that I've tried anyway...apps that give you toggles on the notification screen, like Samsung, give you an icon in the status bar on the top left. And you can't get rid of it. Personally I can't stand that. Lol

Swipe down from the top with two fingers.
Start swiping down from the right side and hold until the tab switches to quick settings. Then pull down.

Best solution I found for myself is "Power Toggles". That App allows to have quick toggles on the home screen as well as where they used to be prior to Android 4.4.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.painless.pc
Or if you use it a lot, might want to try tasker.
I also use Power Toggles for quick access to a lot of settings, although with KitKat its usefulness has declined because it has to send you to a settings screen for a lot of them rather than just toggling the setting itself.
Tasker is an option, but a very complicated one. I also use AutomateIt (similar to tasker but much more user friendly) to create shortcut icons to change multiple settings at once.
