Currently it takes a swipe and 4 taps to turn data on from the tile. A swipe down on notification, tap on data tile, tap data switch and two back buttons return you to yr app. Would be great if the tile was an on and off switch. Has anyone a way around this i wonder ?
I would like to know that too.
I have tried some custom quick tiles app which require root but they work sometimes only and result in battery drain due to wakelocks from android system.
Maybe power toggles from the play store. And run it as a widget.

Notification Toggles
Using third party notification tiles, comment 2 covers that. Just a matter of identifying which system app is responsible for quick tiles and someone who writes code tinkering with that app. Has anyone done it yet. I'd be surprised not as this little thing is kinda crazy....

I have both an iphone and a G1. Now people slate the iphone for not being open source, but in terms of productivity it seems the iphone still wins out for me, and it is almost entirely down to two apps which I feel the G1 could REALLY do with: sbsettings and irealquicksms. I am trying to use my g1 everyday as I'm considering selling my iphone and hope someone can point me in the direction of something similar, or the same. Best to look on YouTube for a full understanding of these apps, but in shorts....
Irealsms allows you to send an sms from within ANY application, simply by pressing the volume button followed by a tap on the volume icon that appears, or by doubletapping the homekey. This saves swapping between applications if a text needs to be sent, and also facillitates replying. This is invaluable if you are watching a movie clip and really speeds up the texting process...it is the one application I truly miss from the iphone more than any other.
SBsettings allows you to change almost ANY setting from within ANY application simply by swiping a finger across the status bar on iphone. This means, for example, that if one is watching a film, or browsing the web, one can change the brightness, turn on/off wifi, bluetooth, 3g, gps or any number of other functions by simply swiping the top of the screen, upon which a toggle board slides down the screen. A press of the menu key slides it back up again. I am amazed that this app hasn't been developed for android as it is much more efficient than silly toggle switch widgets which clutter the home screen and are far less practical if one is already inside an application
well Toggle Settings by cooolmagic places the application icon in the status bar for quick access, I find that a good replacement for SBsettings
Toggle Settings is definitely an awesome app and sounds like it would be a good replacement for that Iphone app.
I use ChompSMS and they are constantly improving their app. I'll get onto their website and request they add on a shortcut ability. Say double press on the camera button?
Or, another option is "Bar Control" to add a shortcut for ANYTHING to your notification bar.
Keyboard shortcuts are great, too.
I would suggest looking into sms popup. It makes the text msg pop up and you can just hit the reply button after you respond just hold down the home button and go back to the program you were using last.
Why not use the quick launch keyboard shortcuts for messaging (Search button + S) and Settings (no default)?
You can set shortcuts for up to 36 different apps and the shortcuts will work from any application. Just go to Settings > Application Settings > Quick Launch.
You could also just hold [HOME] and select Messaging/ChompSMS to send texts without having to drop back to the home screen (If it was one of your last 6 apps used anyways...)
Fandango would also be awesome.

Random hijack much? Get your own thread.
Bar control allows you to put any app in the notification bar for easy access within most apps. So you could put your messaging app and a setting app (or any other app you may want) in the bar for easy access. The only exception would be apps that take up the full screen and hide the notification bar. Not many of those though.
Hello all,
For a theme that I'm working on, I would like to trigger a widget (UCCW and DVR) by using a swipe action from the side. Also, I would like to specify a certain hotspot where that swipe gesture triggers the widget and a second swipe should hide it again.
I think it would be to much to ask for to have the way the widget appears to be animated.
I have already tried SwipeStart from the Play store but that does not have lot of customization and isn't very fluid.
Is there a way to accomplish this?
Thank you in advance
i am running Stock up including clock face but with NULL_18 as base for extra benefits.
how can i quickly see the battery status like what i see when i plug it in?
currently i have to go to Settings > Battery which is not quick and easy.
i had used the Watch Style app where you can get faces with battery but it seemed to use more battery and i like Stock look.
thanks for any suggestions.

When I double-tap, the status bar shows up. The problem is now when I load a full-screen app, the status bar is always there at the top. How do I go back to hiding the status bar at all times?

I use GMD gesture control to create a gesture to toggle the status bar on and off

Thanks, I'll check out GMD. In the meantime, is there a setting somewhere to revert back to the no-statusbar UI?

Are you looking for a setting to switch back to the original tw launcher or for use in the nova launcher? To set touch whizz as the default launcher just go to nova settings and it's the first option, select touch whizz, switch the screen of and use the twisting arm wake gesture to select home. If you're looking at changing the nova settings it might be an idea to reflash null and not check full ui in the aroma options. I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for though. It's a bit late here and I'm a bit frazzled

I'm in the TouchWiz launcher / shell, which is nice. No issue there. My problem is I two-finger tapped or double-tapped the screen to try gestures, and the status bar appeared at the top, showing the battery %, time, Bluetooth icon, etc. I now have no way to make this status bar disappear at the top. For example, I see it when I'm in Settings, or in the root browser, or any custom app.
It seems the two-finger tap toggled it on, but there is no way to toggle it off. Where is the setting to turn it off?

That's not the two finger toggle. The two finger toggle on stock or null without full system ui is a shortcut to brightness/volume and battery screen. Sounds like you've selected full system ui in the aroma settings. I can't see any options to switch off the status bar in apps. You can turn it off on the nova launcher with nova settings but that doesn't apply to apps. You can try flashing the Rom again and uncheck the full status ui and see if the status bar is still present in third party apps or you can download another third party app to control things like the status bar in apps. There's a list of third party apps you could use in the help sticky null_/free falling theme..... It's under notifications icons/soft buttons
I've seen a lot of automation apps that allow you to make a quick settings tile to perform custom tasks, but I want to do the reverse. Certain apps on my phone like PIA VPN have a quick settings tile and it's the only way to toggle the VPN without the UI showing up. I would like to use it with MacroDroid/Tasker. Is there a universal method of activating quick settings tile of a 3rd party app with Tasker/MacroDroid without touch shenanigans? Thanks.
I've seen on Reddit that you can potentially do this through Tasker's "Launch App" action.
When you're in the screen selection for the app, instead of taping on the app (here PIA VPN), long press on it and you'll see some different options. Hopefully there is one related to the tile. Reddit post mentions it as: LaunchVPNForTileService

I use PIA also but I run mine through OpenVPN. I can connect and disconnect through it whenever I am connected through my work network. It does pop up the app but it closes automatically. On disconnect, it doesn't show

Yeah, for PIA, there happens to be a tile service activity which can be used to do the same as it's quick setting tile, but this doesn't seem to be universal. Even Shazam has a tile to auto-shazam, but there isn't any tile service activity associated with it that I could find. (Not that I want to use auto-shazam with tasker.) I was wondering whether there was a universal solution to this, just like how IntentTask allows you to use ANY app shortcut with Tasker. Guess we'll have to wait until some dev comes up with an app to solve this problem. Thanks.
I just got my mother a pixel 7 for her birthday. She's just messaged me asking how to turn on data - as far as we can see there's no quick settings toggle, not even if you go into the extra tiles with the edit button. I've looked on google/xda/youtube and can't find anything. How do you turn data on and off from the quick settings, without going into the settings app and toggling it there?
You have internet tile in quick settings, it manages wifi and data both. In alternative, if you want the old style separated button, there are some ways but i think that they needs root. One way is AOSP mod for example.
