Nexus 6 improvements ? - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all, I have Nexus 6 since some days, and I'm planned to root it to have good apps, but I have questions to have some features that I don't found with stock rom...
Is is possible to get a menu buttons, instead of multitask for example ?
And is it possible to get full notification bar at once, instead of needing to pull it down 2 times... ?
Third, is it possible to hide navbar in some apps and especially in games, like in my LG G2, and make them appears by swipping screen up ? Those 3 keys use some space in screen...
And last, is it possible to always have battery percentage in statusbar ? I don't find it in stock, it's pretty bad from Google I think...
Thanks a lot for your answers

In the area with quick toggles, hold down the setting button until it starts spinning. That'll add SystemUI Tuner to your settings where you can embed the battery % in the icon. Assuming you are on Marshmallow of course.

I use GMD auto hide soft keys pro to achieve what you want. Used to use it on my G2 as well.

Pure Nexus includes all these features plus double tap to wake, notification LED and status bar brightness control.

Thanks a lot for your answers !
I've succeed for notif pulldown with 2 fingers and for battery %, for hidding softkeys, I haven't try yet since I'm not yet rooted, but is it possible to always have menu softkey as on your screen ?
And how do we have double tap to wake and led notif with stock rom ?
Thanks.

You'll have to root to get double tap to wake and LED notification.

Hi all, I've rooted my Nexus 6 and installed Pure Nexus (didn't understand that is a Rom name) and now I have all the missing features and even more (no horrible red statusbar and nav bar when power save battery ), without Xposed or else !
So thanks a lot all for your help ! Thread can be close now if you want.
Thanks.

Looking for 2 apps.

Hey guys.
I've searched for a couple of hours for 2 apps and can't find them. I ran a search on xda and nothing.
First app:
A battery indicator that i can see in the notification area but does not have a icon on the notification bar. I want to be able to drop down the notification bar and see the status of my battery in percentages. I prefer my notification bar as clean as possible.
Second app:
Power controls in the notification area. I found Quick Settings, but that opens another app to change the settings. I'm looking for a way to activate wifi, bluetooth and so on just by taping something in the notification area.
Thanks.
So, the conclusion is that there are no such apps?
It s only too much.
Quick settings is very impressive. It starts the app from the notification bar, thats right.
But, what would you all switch from the notification bar:
Wifi
APN
Brighness
GPS
Auto Sync
Bluetooth
Airplane Mode
etc...
There are too much options for one notification bar.
I'm thinking that an app like this would let me choose 3-4 toggles. I realize it's impossible to have them all.
Oh, and a toggle does not take a row, instead all the toggles should be on the same row but with separators between them.
OK, I' have to say, that I never found such a programm. Sorry.

So the default power bar widget won't work for you? It's pretty much exactly what you pictured, however a widget.
If you want to choose and have your own order, use beautiful widgets.
Why try and cram this into the notification area? You have 5 desktop screens (more with add-ons and custom ROM's) to put this stuff. Navigation from screen to screen is fast and easy (even if you hate the swipe thing).
Or this even? http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/com.extendedcontrols/
Dunno, just lost as to why I guess.
Yes, you are right, it looks like the power settings widget, but i want it in the notification area to be able to change settings without leaving the current app and stop using the widget. I need the space for other stuff
moved to the Q&A section
What about quickdesk? Kmobs hads mentioned it on twitter couple of times. you can put anything you want even the settings widget and can change it without leaving the app.

Hm, its getting close to what i want. I'll give it a try.
UPDATE: It looks promising but it hijacks the "once press home button" functionality, meaning i can't get home. Uninstalled!
The powerswitch is called Switch pro

Are you talking about the widget? If yes, its not what i'm looking for. Like i said, both apps need to display something in the notification area, so no widgets and no notification bar icons.

i never tried it but damn is too bad the home button gets removed didn't know it. but the app is in beta maybe it will get fixed.
UPDATE: Today the QuickDesk app was released on the market and it fixed the issue, so now i can use it
One problem solved.
PS: I strongly recommend QuickDesk so go download it.

Stock Android 2.3.1 (which Nexus S) uses doesn't have that.
PS. Is it really necessary to write in bold/red/italics? Man it was annoying having to edit the quote to remove all that.
my work around is to stick the Power Control widget on a screen of my choice
it's included with stock Android
but there is no option to attach it to the status screen

Yeah, that's what I thought
to above user, i loove to use different fonts/color/size.
well, i was looking for the powercontrol for the statusbar, as the statusbar is accesible everywhere, when desktop is not, as i recall

Again, CM has the setting to change the colors and the items in the status bar power widget
Widgetsoid does a great job at a power control widget and it is free.

I've missed this from my Galaxy S too, but the best work around I've found is Quick Settings - search on appbrain (cant post links as I'm 'new') and configure it to display in the notification shade, but to hide the icon in the notification bar.
If there is another solution to properly get buttons as on the Galaxy S ROMs (other than the often suggested - "flash CM7") I'd love to hear of it though. I know the notification shade can't be edited by a simple .apk, but this isn't the first time I've seen this request and would have thought it really ought to be possible somehow without delving into the deepest darkest recesses of the android system -but of course I am probably wrong

Your Rom is great but sorry, this mod makes it look so ugly. The netspeed is colored and the clock is weirdly big and i find no way to uninstall it. Then i have to reflash the rom just to get rid of it. Definitely not my taste, i mean no offense. Other than that, your rom is great! Thank you.
Hi alex,
can you make a mod for your DPBG rom
only big center clock and 3minit.
Many thanks in advance

How to Identify the New Galaxy Note7

From Sammy, The new green battery icon will be visible on: 1) the Status Bar; 2) the Always On Display screen; and 3) the Power Off prompt screen, which can be accessed by long-pressing the power key.

Now that's interesting. I'll keep that in mind. "SEE MR/MRS TSA???? THE BATTERY SYMBOL IS GREEEEEN!!!" "No stewardess... I do not need to comply.... My battery symbol is green-behold!" "Naw man, don't trip, it's green though..."
I'm gonna get so much mileage off of this...

Been seeing that all over the place..my question is
Isnt that like a quick mod to have the battery to disclose green through rooting and what now? I think some ppl are easily gonna deceive others if they would like.
What do you think?

With the great mind, I'm sure is possible with root.
My question is wouldnt u rather have a piece of mind or something will kaboom?
For me, this green battery will probably make me go elsewhere since I like to run black and white and honestly that would drive me nuts. . I don't believe you can remove the battery icon in settings, only the percentage. See what happens here on XDA I guess. Shouldn't be too difficult to change with root.

App switcher bug & Poorly designed navigation bar?

I've been using the Mate 20 for the past 24hours, being first time Huawei/EMUI user, there are some weird experiences going on.
1. Bug - App switcher:
Open recent apps, I'm not able to switch apps by clicking the partially visible adjacent apps (will go to home screen)
The only way to switch apps is by scrolling to the desired app and make sure it shows at the middle of the screen, then click it.
2. Navigation Bar Experience - EMUI? Android 9? :
The navigation keys' positioning is kinda bad. The icons are too packed at the middle of the screen, instead they should be placed more evenly, and the clickable areas should be widen. (I drawn an image below to better explain this)
I'm not sure this is an EMUI thing or Android Pie thing? How to make a suggestion to Huawei?

The nav button is controlled by Huawei, or Android 9?

It's controlled by Huawei, btw it's shifted like that because there's a "rotate" button that appears on the nav bar when you tilt your phone and auto rotate is off, you can see it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWOp1b-5thQ

I see. But that is rarely used. It shouldn't affect the main navigation keys that are the basic function of a phone.
