I don't know about the Active, but on the regular S4 the LED light from the "hold volume up button" is noticeably dimmer than when you activate it with apps. I'm using the Notification Toggle app from the Play Store to put the LED toggle in the notification panel. It's nearly as convenient as using the volume button and it's brighter without any risk of accidental activation in your pocket.

Yea it does have that option, just not the volume up with the screen off. You have to hold the brightness slider icon in the notification panel to activate it.
Not to be a bother, but I notice it works on some peoples phones and not others. Is there a special thing that needs to be done to get the vol-up for torch working? I know how to get to the secret settings, and they're set for me. It doesn't light up for me . Any advice?
Edit:
I'm running stock rooted with Xposed and Nottach Xposed
Use power toggles from playstore. The best

NottachXposed has both of those options. The volume up function is in the Lockscreen settings. You actually don't need Nottach to access it. It's just a convenient shortcut.

I think you need a deodexed ROM. Didn't work for me until I flashed the Mint Jelly ROM (which I recommend :good.

Alright, i'll give that a try. Not opposed to flashing roms, especially if they remove all this Samsung + ATT bloatware Thanks for your help.
Just an update.
I'm not sure if it was having a deodex rom, or just simply being on Android 4.2.2 (Might be the case). But my light is working now with screen off!
EDIT:
One more thing. Enabling this setting will create a wakelock that'll keep your phone at the lowest mhz you set it to instead of letting it go into deep sleep. It's a nice setting, but at the battery cost... it's something that isn't good enough for me yet. I have a profile setup in tasker for TelsaLED on with a shake on the locked homescreen to try my best and mimic this functionality (I was looking for something that starts up at boot, and flips the LED on from lockscreen). I know there's another flashlight that does this as well, but I ran into the problem of it not booting on startup, where as I use Tasker for other functionality so it starts up 100% of the time. It's not 100% since the LED takes a little to flip on... but it's better than having to unlock.
JUST an FYI to save people the feeling of underwhelming when it starts sapping your battery mercilessly!

thats absolutly not true, i use the feature on nottachs xposed app and my phone goes into DEEP SLEEP using ktz kernel,and there is another mod that u can use called 3 minit but you need framework but that has torch when the lock screen is on by pressing the home button,but i found i would have the light on by accident ,idk how but it would jsut be on with that mod.
3 minit work pretty well you can set it to long press home
Try flashlight led genius from playstore , no root need , you shake it when your on the lockscreen,awesome app

I'm going to stick with what I think then. After I flip on the light.. it never goes back into deep sleep. Try it yourself. I'll take a look at 3 minit
FYI the wakelock it made was PhoneWindowManager.mTorchlightWakeLock
This is a feature in CM10.1. You can add it under lock screen options for long press home button. Absolutely love it.

I think your Android version needs to be 4.2.2 to do the torchlight thing through Nova. I could be wrong though.
Ok another update on this.
Since djmouse wasnt getting any sort of wakelock, I decided to try again getting it working. I enabled it through xposed instead of the nova shortcut.... and for some reason it's letting me go to deep sleep now! ... I also flashed crossbreeder... so that might be the savior. Not sure, but happy to report the wakelock seems to be lifted. I'll report back after a few days if it stays that way.
THanks djmouse for challenging me to try it again!
Using an app called Torchie, just press both 'volume buttons' together to turn on/off torch anytime. It runs as a background service and just works anytime, even when screen off (if enabled from Torchie Settings). It kinda make your phone feel like a conventional battery operated torch. No root required.

Hello!
I know there are some Threads about it already.
I've been searching the web (and xda) about hiding those Nexus navigation buttons in apps but with no success of what I want.
I have already posted this in Q&A but with no success.
REQUEST:
I want my navigation buttons to be ACTIVE on some apps, while I want those button to hide on the other apps with !!POSSIBILITY!! to activate them (indefinite, not only for some seconds) and deactivate when needed.
I don't want them to appear "above" everything like some apps and ways to do this offer. I want it stock, the way android 4.4 does this (eg. http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...go-truly-full-screen-hide-the-navigation-bar/)
With the latter I meant when on Home Screen - there should be transparent Button Bar (like stock 4.4) Not like apps that only offer full black
Do you think it is possible? Or maybe modified ROM could offer tweaked and improved android 4.4 "Full-screen Immersive mode" HERE.

Well considering the rom scene has yet to start up for cm or any other rom for that matter, I wouldn't hold your breath. I am sure it is possible, but I don't know if someone will make it, seeing as there isn't a huge demand for this. Roms like AOKP have features like autohide nav bar and swipe up to reveal but nobody has what you want (that I know of) and I don't think it will happen.

Maybe you are right, but still I hope for a solution that would extend that Immersive mode to all apps.
I already found a similar solution app called Full!Screen. It does almost what I want with one exception - I want it to activate with a Gesture - Like swipe down with 2 fingers? and deactivate with swipe up from the bottom
I don't like any notification bar toggles
Maybe I can get it to work

If you're already using xposed, install Gravity Box and assign the power menu function to one of the buttons you already have. No need to mod the systemUI.apk.

I've tried but there seems to be a problem with the gravity box, everytime I enable the module, I have 2 battery icon in the notification area, one stock and one big white empty bar, when I chose to untick it is gone but when I tick some box and reboot my phone, it'll come back again. and I found the power button thing but when I did it, the ratio of 5 button is incorrect, the home button is not in the middle anymore,
now I disabled the module and everything came back to normal.
any suggestion?

First of all, if you have two battery icons, then you're most likely using two different modules that alter the battery icon (maybe Xblast, or alike). Secondly, you don't need to enable the status bar/battery icon setting in GB, you can just disable it; all it does is change the icon, not add anything, so like I said, if you have two icons, you've got some other module interfering. And I'm pretty sure you don't need to enable the navigation bar features in order to use the Navigation Key actions settings. Check out my attached screenshots.

Thank you so much I'll try to fix it.
I have GEM xperia xposed, Xperia/AOSP Navbar bttons/Xperia xposed, these 3 modules are the ones I enabled. If I disable Xperia/Navbar module and use gravitybox Can I make 5 buttons?
and about the battery icons, I have no idea which module is interfering? I don't really mess up with those in notification bar.
Thank you

With Gravity Box you can have a Menu, Back, Recent, Home, and Custom button navigation bar; that would make five buttons. When I used that specific feature they were never messed up. I don't know how heavily modified your SystemUI or framework is, but all those modules you're using modify the SystemUI, so what I would do is disable those and then enable Gravity Box and see if you get the same two battery icons.
I don't think you'd need to disable any modules, you just need to know which features of which modules change what.
For instance, I'm using Gravity Box, which can change the battery, but I like using the Circle with Text Percentage battery icon, and the one in Gravity Box looks a bit off to me, so I leave that option on stock, and installed Xbattery Themer to change the battery icon, which appears as can be seen in my previous screenshots.
Previously, before modding my own framework, I used to even use Xblast and Gravity Box at the same time (and sometimes still do). They both have similar features, but I don't use the same features of both modules at once.

Thank you so much, this is very helpful for me and I will do as you suggested. once I figured out why I will give you the feedback. thanks again. you are very kind and patient for me.
Looking like a temp fix but I need something to work for now. I do I enable the action bar at the bottom of the screen. I don't want to have to install an entire new rom with this pre-enabled just to get the bar. Is there an app in the store that can enable this functionality?

Hi guys!
I'm on stock 5.1 and I miss only on feature from cm based rom: smart pull down notification (if there aren't any notification, pulling down is opening the toggles ; if there are notifications, pulling down is opening the notifications).
This option used to be available on gravity box for kitkat, but not in lollipop.. Is there a way or an additional module to obtain this feature?
Thanks a lot!!
Check out the app LMT PIE. Amongst many other very useful things, it has what the dev calls "invisible swipe areas." I use one in the center to to fully open the notification drawer. You can set one on the top right to open the quick controls. It's not exactly what you describe, but you can always get the view you want just by pulling down from the preselected area.
There is an option under QuickSettings management in GravityBox to pull down the toggles using the right or left edge of the notification bar. It doesn't work exactly like smart pulldown but it's a decent work-around.
thanks guys
but i really like to have smart pull down.. i think i'll have to try back cm12.1!
