How to restore flashlight on Quick Settings - G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.
I have 5.0.2 andall of a sudden, the flashlight icon on the Quick Settings bar dissapeared.
Anybody knows how to restore it back??
Thanks!!

Lollipop puts the things into the quick settings that are often used (exept some standard settings like wifi which stay there independent from usage). So if you start the flashlight a few times from the settings menu it should show up in the quick settings again. I´ve got the same with gps.

hmmm...I just noticed this. I don't even find a flashlight app in the drawer anymore. What happened here?
It used to be there and I liked the easy accessibility of it. I want the flashlight to be locked in the quick settings.

Where is the flashlight in the Settings??? I have no flashlight there! Please post a screenshot of what you have on yours. Thanks!

You´re right,there isn´t a flashlight app in the drawer and I even don´t find a way to activate it in the settings....

Restart your phone.

Restart
Usually a restart fixes this for me!

I've restarted the phone several times since then but never came back...
My only hope is to search again the command to clear the data for system ui and see if that works or not. It did it for one option once, maybe it can make it for the flashlight again...

I had mine disappear too. It came back after I downloaded another Flashlight App and used it, but that may have been a coincidence.

i have restarted the phone and nothing happened. i dont even know where to locate torch in the phone other than quick settings

Try taking a photo with the flash turned on and check your quick settings after.

Wiping cache partition in twrp worked for me.

I had faced the same issue. But after I turned off and turned on I got my flashlight back on quicklaunch.

Turn on camera flash and take some photos or make a video with your flash on then restart your phone.. I did and it worked on motog2 xt1068...
The quick settings are managed based on the settings you use frequently

I have taken some photos with flash and got the torch in quick settings. thanks a lot..

[Q] [XV] Quick Settings and phone freezing problem on NeoWave rom

My XV is running NeoWave rom and I can't find a way to add some titles to Quick Setting (Toogle Sound mode, Toogle Wifi AP, etc...) like some other custom roms, so someone please tell me how can I do that
Regard phone freezing issue, my phone sometimes freeze when charging, charging LED still on when I unplug the phone, and I can't do anything except pulling out the battery. I never had this problem with stock rom, only with custom rom (Carbon and NeoWave). How can I fix this?
OmniRom doesn't support some Quick Settings that are included in other roms.
I suggest installing the app "Safe Charge" from Play Store to get rid of the freeze issues.
You can "swipe" a lot of tiles in the quicksettings, to show a secondary function.
The volume buttin changes to sound settings, the WiFi button to tethering, the network data button to data connection, the battery percentage to battery status etc.
All settings are there

I tried Safe Charge but it seems the issue still persist. Btw love your rom so much, only some minor problem with ART but overall it's great :good::good::good:
One more question, in other roms some Quick Settings titles have their own setting. For example I can remove Silent and Ringer only mode in Sound title, only Vibrate and Sound+Vibrate left. So does NeoWave rom has this option as well?
I haven't quite figured that out.
When you deblock the buttons so that you can move them, some of them can be changed size and transparency when clicked. I imagine that has something to do with it, but i did not experiment.
Already installed Safe Charge and SOD has even been more frequently. I missed my morning alarms because of that. I never experienced that on any stock-based rom. Is it kernel related?
It's strange, as only a few people have SoDs. I personally don't.
So sad. I had sudden shutdown problem with stock rom before, then I changed to Carbon then your rom and that problem has gone, but now SoD.
I think Quick Settings lacks customizations compared to other rom. As far as I know, this is rom-integrated, so GravityBox (and other Xposed modules, too) won't work. It means only you can make some modifications to this, right?
It requires quite a lot of modding to add quick settings.
I dont have a lot of time for developing in the next months. Sorry.
@WhiteNeo Don't feel sorry bro, you've already work really hard to bring us this wonderful rom :good::good::good: And beside that, it seems I'm the only one request this feature, and maybe other guys prefer Omni-style Quick Settings, so it would be great if you could provide a flashable zip for this modification, of course only if you have time Good luck with your studying

Mobile Hotspot turning itself off after 26A update

I recently upgraded my G2 from 4.2 to 4.4 (26A) and ran the hotspot provision fix and it works great....when its on. It seems like within a few minutes of being on my hotspot turns itself off. I'll wake my phone and the toggle will be off. I checked the settings and don't think its anything in there (like battery saver). Also don't have any battery conservation apps. It worked perfect on the old firmware. I also tried some 3rd party hotspot apps (Open Garden for one) and none have worked properly. Any suggestions for fixing the native app or a 3rd party?
Check to see if you have "Advanced" settings (under the three vertical dot icon) in the Mobile Hotspot app. On my ROM, I have a setting called "Power Management" under "Advanced" which was set to turn the hotspot off after 5 minutes of inactivity by default. After setting this to never, I stopped having issues similar to what you described.

This was it! So obvious, I swear I looked before. On the 'configure' settings screen I had to hit the menu button to bring up the advanced menu you specified which had the Power Management setting. Many thanks!

Thanks guys! This helped me out a lot! The Advanced menu is kinda hidden. I was looking for one and couldn't find it prior. I feel dumb now. ha ha

Flashlight gone from quick settings

Apparently I didn't use my flashlight app enough and it fell out of my quick settings. I can see how to get rid of something, but I can't find anything on how to get it back. I also don't see it as an app anywhere else.

Are you rooted? Have you made any changes? Maybe you installed something to change it
Not rooted, no new apps. I used the WiFi hotspot and then the flashlight went away.

I found another thread with the same problem but no solution.

Is there an answer or am I just SOL?
It came back! I didn't do anything, my flashlight is just in the quick settings again. Yay!?

I wonder what the "time limit" is. I have never used the cast screen button in quick toggles and its still there. I've never lost a toggle.
It will also disappear if you have the camera app open.

Is it certain that it uses time or usage frequency to decide to show something or not? I'm thinking that it is more likely that the flash device crashed, so it took away that which was inaccessible. A reboot made the device accessible again, and back it comes.
Flashlight disappeared from Nexus 6p.
Flashlight disappeared from Nexus 6p and camera app couldn't be started, crashes.
Device restart resolved the problem.
Solution:
The solution is simple. Go to Google app and do a voice command to disable flashlight. Be sure that the Google app give you the message that the flashlight is off. Restart the system and look for the flashlight tile. It should be back.
This works on the 6P with Android 7.1.1
Pull down the Quick Setting Menu. When you do, a pencil will be displayed on the notification line.
Tap the pencil and you will be able to edit the quick settings menu.

Ultra Power Saving Issue when toggling off phone reverts back erases home screen apps

Hey guys I don't know if you all have ran into this issue. So the quick story whenever I toggle on Ultra Power Saving it does its thing and toggles on mono screen and the various apps like the phone and messaging apps and Facebook app so its pretty standard in activating this setting. The problem starts whenever I toggle it off that is when it reverts back to the regular launcher I have, that is when I turn it U. Power Saving that it does not keep the apps, folders, and the widgets that I had previously they are not uninstalled just removed from the home screen. Have any of you guys know why or how i can fix this? I'm tired of having to rearrange my apps every time I toggle this feature on. Could this be Samsung or my phone? Any info will help! Also if you have this similar problem then it'd be good to hear that I'm not the only one!!
Info:
Tmobile S6 on Marshmallow 6.0.1
Google Now Launcher
Have already factory restored the device and issue still there.
Sorry I wanted to post pics of it but since I am a noob here i am not able to post Pics But i hope that I explained the problem using just words!!!

power menu editor - add flashlight

is there an app that I could do this?
google asst is too slow turning flashlight on.
Try using "quick tap". You can turn it on and off by tapping the back of the phone twice.
Settings > system > gestures > quick tap > choose toggle flashlight
You just need to turn your screen on first, but it works on lock screen
unfortunately, I'm already using that to pause music, but maybe I'll have to change that.
AOSP Mods
Was hoping not to bother with the whole custom ROM with this phone.
But I'll read thru as it does look interesting. Thanks,
I just remembered an app I used to use on my Pixel 5 that would probably work for what you want. I'm not sure if it works on Android 13 or not, but it should. I'll think I'll reinstall it as well. Probably on my 7pro too

Did you run the adb command? You can find it in "help" on the app
I did. Should I have restarted after?
I don't remember. Can't hurt
no joy. tried a few different methods. I'd say it no longer likes the P5 with A13.
