This is how to enable all the "hidden" quick tiles in the notification bar that seemed to have been disabled. Between versions of the S5 variants, several quick tiles seemed to be missing from some and enabled in others. Remember, I am NOT responsible for stupidity or whining if YOU do something wrong, phone explodes, etc.
The modifications need Root, SQLite Editor (or equivalent app functioning) and a brain
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE CORRECT PERMISSIONS ON Settings.db OR IT WILL NOT WORK
-----Enabling Quick Tiles-----
1. Open up SQLite Editor
2. Select the Apps tab -> scroll down to Settings Storage and select
3. Click settings.db
4. Click system
5. Click search icon on top right (easiest method to filter) or scroll through db (harder way)
6. Type "notification" in the Filter Value field and press ok
7. Tap "notification_panel_active_app_list" -> select pencil icon on top to edit
8. In Value field, all enabled toggles are listed. Now, add the word "MobileData" (no spaces or quotation marks) to end of list (make sure to have NO SPACES between entries and semicolons separating each entry)
----> ex. Wifi;MobileData;WifiHotspot;Sound; ....
9. Once you add "MobileData", click save button.
10. Close SQLite editor and reboot/profit (see attached screenshot for what it should appear as)
This works for any quick settings tiles that are present, but you MUST type in the correct name (capital letters, no spaces, semicolons all count). One mistake will not show the tile after reboot.
----> instead of "MobileData", you can also "WifiHotspot" (already enabled in miked63017 zip for Hotspot Mod here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2727127 ). Download Booster Quick tile is also able to be added but has no function yet (see my post on updates to status towards getting this working here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2719582 )
-----Missing Tiles (so far noticed, if you know another please comment)-----
*These are exact as they should appear,no spaces and capital letters (case sensitive)
Wifi;MobileData;SilentMode;Location;WiFiHotspot;NetworkBooster;Bluetooth;AirplaneMode;PowerSaving;UltraPowerSaving;Sync;AutoRotate;TouchSensitivity;AllShareCast;Toolbox;MultiWindow;Nfc;SmartStay;SmartPause;DormantMode;CarMode;PersonalMode;SBeam;AirView;AirGesture;DrivingMode;SmartStay;SmartScroll;SmartPause;ToddlerMode;EBook;SmartNetwork;WifiCalling
They can be put in any order and then, upon reboot, be arrange according.
Big thanks to eyecon82 for pathway and miked63017 for Hotspot Mod additions.
wyoud you please be able to post what tiles are missing or what all of them are so users can compare if they need to do this or not .

Right now, I'm investigating an apk with the hidden 'false' value for Booster to see, if by enabling, that it'll work. May not need anything other than push ability and some apps to edit at least. Still WIP, hopefully more results soon.
ronger here with the G900W
step 7. Tap "notification_panel_active_app_list" -> select pencil icon on top to edit
when I open to edit I have nothing in value
but if I open the file "notification_panel_active_app_list_for_reset" i have all the values in there, also running a rom , not sure if it matters but its in my signature.
im trying to add Touch Sensitivity which i don't have in the shortcuts notification panel
edit
i was on the reset app list and not the active one
however after adding ;TouchSensitivity; and the end of the values , it still doesn't appear

I am rooted on an S5, using a different application called SQLite Manager, but go into applications, setting storage, and all I see is one folder called databases, and another called lib.
Any ideas?

Did you check in the folder called Databases?
Anyone know if it's possible to add Tasker shortcuts to the TouchWiz Quick Settings??
And Bonus points if you can assign your own icon for it?

Thank you for your reply. I did, and I think the settings.db file is there. But when I try to edit it, the program force closes. Using SQLite Manager. Not sure if it's a problem on my end or with the application.
1 · Download and install QuickShortcutMaker and open the app.
2 · Scroll down to Service Program Menu (it may appear as serviceprogramu) and tap on it to expand all the activities under it.
3 · Scroll down to IOT Hidden Menu.
4 · Tap 'Create' - this will create a shortcut to IOT Hidden Menu on your home screen.
5 · Press the Home softkey and locate the new shortcut and tap it.
6 · Tap LTE Settings then tap APN Settings*then tap on*Internet.
7 · Scroll down and search for APN Type.
8 · Tap on APN Type and add following APN type to it ‘dun‘ separating it with a comma (no spaces, and no single quotes)
9 · To save these settings you need to hold and down Multitasking/recent or the Overview button on the navigation bar, this will bring up the option to save your settings.
10 · Tap Save.
11 · Now go to System Settings, and in the Network select Tethering. Attempt to enable WiFi hotspot or USB tethering if your G4 is connected to your computer by USB cable. If you get the pop-up about needing to subscribe to a tethering package, or “Due to network issues, tethering has been disabled”, you need to go back to your home screen and tap the shortcut again and continue from Step 6, but instead of selecting Internet in the APN settings you will select ‘cinet.spcs’ and add dun to the apn type.
You should now have the ability to enable WiFi, USB and Bluetooth tethering without root access and without PdaNet+ or any other pay apps.

Of course I didn't bother to give you credit. I have never even seen your post until you linked it. Why would I give credit to you if you had absolutely nothing to do with my post?
That's like saying anyone that starts a fire with two sticks should give credit to Cody Lundin because he's used the same method to achieve the end result.
This is pretty much the same method for a bunch of different LG phones that don't allow easy editing of APN settings without root, and I'm pretty certain if you mess around long enough there's ways to do it with Non-LG phones but I've been using this method since the LG Marquee in 2011. I could even post the really long way of using CDMA workshop, but this way is faster.
FYI you can do USB or BT Tether completely stock and nothing on your plan.
Mine is ZVA and IOT QuickShortcutMaker's shortcut does not work. It just says "Application is not installed".
Any suggestion?

The consensus seems to be that you need to downgrade your phone back to ZV6, then use the shortcut maker technique while in ZV6. Then you upgrade to ZV9 and access your running apps where you'll find the shortcut maker still present from running it earlier under ZV6. Pin that window in ZV9. Then upgrade to ZVA. The shortcut maker should still be present in your previous apps, pinned. So, in ZVA, you can access that pinned page to perform the edit to add ,dun and get wifi. I haven't done this, but there is another thread on this site outlining all the steps/tools you use to perform the downgrade (I think it's LGUP and LG flash or something).

I had responded to a thread in the note 8 section but thought I'd pass the info on to the note 9 forums.
So:
you just need to launch the proper screen recorder activity. i use the nova launcher for its activities options:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher
so just create a widget on your homescreen as you normally would then when choosing the widget choose 'activities', then scroll to 'record screen' and choose the correct one.( there are 3 activities for screen recorder so choose 1st one)
if you want the quick tile then just use the tiles apk from the play store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rascarlo.quick.settings.tiles
use that app to create a new activity tile. choose record screen as the main activity and choose the 1st of 7 available sub activities.
hit the 3 dots next to the activity you want and save.
go back and then Rename this activity because you can.
Now go to your quick tiles/button order and add activity1(once you add it to your active tiles the custom name you gave will appear)
com.sec.app.screenrecorder.activity.LauncherActivity
is the actual activity if anyone was wondering.
edit :
so i just realised that the thread i responded to originaly was infact in the note 9 forums and not note 8 as originally though.
although my method seems to be more pertinent to the guides and discussion section(rather posting it under the apps section like original thread), if it is deemed as duplication, then please remove.
but basicaly anything can be launched via widgets or quick tiles using activities and following the steps described. so i hope this broadens my initial goal of simply showing how to add the screen recorder.
update:
U models might need the apk:

From Reddit:
1. Go into Device Care, under menu select "show icon on apps screen".
2. Device Care is now in your App drawer, long press it and you see 4 options. Press and hold on any and you can drag them as direct shortcuts for your Home OR apps screen.
3. One is "Battery", drag this and you now have a shortcut directly to your battery status!
4. You can then undo step one, Device Care is gone from.your app drawer but your shortcuts remain. View attachment 4753307View attachment 4753308

Wow, finally something really useful. Already had Device Care out but didn't know about the battery shortcut. THNX!
Hi, I just switched from Samsung Galaxy S8 to Huawei P30 pro.
What I miss 'till now is:
1) HD calls (Vo LTE) are they available?
2) phone with caller ID and spam protection: what do you suggest?
3) swipe down to open notification bar (edge gesture just installed works fine)
4) home with drawer: in drawer I see icons ordered by name with vertical scrolling. No way to create folders, move icons and have pagination?
5) seems stupid but was very useful: in Galaxy you can use a tool to take a partial screenshot and keep it floating on the screen. Useful p.e. if you have to write down info from a business card you photographed.
1- working for me
2- depends on where u at, where i live i used true caller till it got blocked
3- install 3rd party launcher
4- same as 3
5- use your knuckles, youtube it to learn how it is done
Thanks.
About screenshots: I can take screenshots using knuckles, I can save a partial screenshot,but I can't make it floating in the screen. You know how to do that (tried to search with no success)
You can split the screen by drawing from left to right with a knuckle across the middle of the screen. Place the screenshot in one half and your app in the other.
Once you take the screenshot, just click the small image of it on the bottom left, it will display it full screen so you can view it, or edit it.
Thanks all, but this do not reply to my question.
If you ever tried galaxy screenshot floating function you should. It's very useful!

Hey, i did the same switch.
Which app do you use for swipe down for notifications?
Playstore link?
Thx in advance
This one is good: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.de_studio.recentappswitcher.trial
But finally I reintroduced the bottom bar with fourth button to show notifications
Emui is the best(for me) , just give it some time. Samsung experience is the reason I never go with galaxy devices(my wife has s9)
I installed Nova Launcher (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher) as soon as I set up my P30 Pro. It'll take care of your #3 and 4 concerns.
