I noticed on the Atrix 4G that the pull down notification menu does not have the controls for WIFI, GPS etc. as on the Captivates with almost any of the Roms.
Does anyone know if there is a way to put them back? It was very convienient having them in one spot.
If I missed this or it was already addressed somewhere else or a simple setting I missed I am sorry.
Thanks all!
the Atrix dropdown is basically Vanilla android. They did not change it. So the Captivate must have a tweaked interface that the Atrix does not.
I know there are a few apps that will add this in ongoing notifications but I always felt these were a battery drain.
The Atrix has the toggle widgets on the last home screen by default.

Widgets to toggle settings like wifi, bluetooth, ect.
Yeah, I moved them to my home screen and BA-A-AM even better
atrix
Get an app from the market place called CONTROL BAR. It works with the Atrix and is excellent for turning everything on & off. Also get LAUNCHER PRO PLUS.
It is a must have and GREAT for Android and for the ATRIX. And read up on how to use it. It disables a lot of the motoblur stuff but that's OK. I have my Launcher Pro configured at 6 colums and 6 rows. You can also configure the size of widgets with Launcher Pro and the screen looks really great on the Atrix. I am going to post a screen shot on XDA shortly.
Sorry to go off topic a bit, but kind of related. Is there a way to keep the bar up top with launcher pro? I'd rather have these options tuck away in that drop down menu/bar (like the OP described) than have the widget.
I am currently using an app called quick settings which is acceptable and works fine. It is another app though. I would just assume have the pull down notification have access to the items that are on the other roms. I am dying to flash a new rom but will patiently wait for the Dev's to make it safe to do so.
I thought someone might have found a setting or something I was missing to acomplish adding the items back to the pull down.....
i would like power controls in the notification similiar to what i had on the captivate. is it possible? what xml would i need to mod? thank you guys..

id be very interested in this. anyone up for the challenge? il definitely donate to this.
you require widgetsoid for this..
widgetsoid's notification direct multitouch toggle power widget does not work on the atrix. I tried it and also tried "notification toggle" too. Same thing, instead of toggling directly from the pull down, it opens up another box on the home screen that u have to select. Ive been trying to find an answer as to why it wont work and I keep getting that "your system might not support, "multiclick notification". I dont know. Anyone wiser have any insight?

Power Control Plus will add a customizable power control widget to your notification bar no mods needed.
Moved .
When your using notification widget when you drag your menu down are you able to have for example 4 toggles in one single row and each control them directly by clicking on each one? Whenever I do this and try clicking on a toggle it just opens up another box in the home screen and then I can toggle from there. It does not directly toggle from my one line of 4 toggles . This is the same issue with widgetsoid too. I have tried this stock and rooted and with all combinations of Ginger blur and gladattix. Still the same issue .

i am using this for now but i know there is a way to do it via xml. PC+ puts it there but everytime you get a notification, it gets bumped below the notification odd but works.
I finally got my HTC One today after calling T-mobile and ordering over the phone, loving this phone and glad I got rid of my iPhone 4. I am currently charging my One, first charge so far and I have a few questions just to make sure everything is good and perhaps making my life easier.
1. Easier way to force quit an app - I was on GSam Bat and had 93.5% apps using battery, I'm figuring that is too high, at least for me.
2. How to enable 4G/3G - Coming from iOS I saw a enable 3G button, making it easy to toggle it, I've only seen 4G on my notification bar too
3. An app that has a bunch of toggles for wifi/gps/data ect - Something as similar as SBSettings, being able to add on for what I prefer.
And if anyone has other tips for a FNG, I'd greatly appreciate it if you posted it.
hey welcome, for the third question I would recommend Power Toggles or Notification Toggles those are my two favorites. try them out on the play store or try searching for a notification widget.

Got myself power toggles, thanks!
There are stock data and power widgets already in your phone Push and hold a blank area on a homescreen, choose widgets, and they're in there.

Yes they are there, but totally impractical...that's the only play I'd say sense is really lacking functionality, I think notification toggle is the best option... For exactly what op is looking for...

Lacking functionality? Lets see...settings, mobile data on/off, wifi on/off, auto sync, roaming on/off, brightness control, GPS on/off, bluetooth on/off...the only thing missing is flashlight. Not what I would call "lacking functionality".
OP: to force close an app, double tap the home button to bring up all your open apps. Simply swipe the app you want to close, and it will.

I'm using power toggles from the Play store, because it allows one to have the toggles on the notification bar. The built in ones have to be on the desktop screen as widgets, which doesn't help when one is inside an app and needs to toggle something.
Yeah, I ended up getting Power Toggles, I like it more and it works great.

Ok, so knock on always works with a third party launcher, but you have to knock the status bar to knock off right? Well, I just found that sslauncher has a double tap action option, and while sleep isn't built in, if you have xposed, and gravity box installed you can put it to sleep with a double tap. Select double tap action in sslauncher preferences, select gravity box, select sleep. Then you can double tap anywhere on the launcher and put the phone to sleep

There is an app called screen off, you have gestures in any third party launcher and go to activities and then go to the screen off app and select screen off.

There are a lot more advantages to xposed then just having knock off. I removed the nav keys and replaced them with pie (Instant screen size increase), changed the status bar icon colors, enabled slide across the status bar brightness control, cleaned up the notification shade, and much much more.

Rather than using pie, I disabled the nav bar and use Ultimate Dynamic Navbar instead and change the background to transparent, and the size to minimum. Since the size of the navbar is so small, it doesnt' intrude as much even when I try to click on the content near the bottom of the screen. I never like pie that much since I have to siwpe up and then select one of the buttons. It just seems to be unintuitive.

I can definitely see where the pie can be unintuitive, for me personally I've gotten so used to it that it's like a single motion to make a selection, and it feels very second nature now, but I love changing things up so I might give ultimate dynamic a whirl sometime.

Hi, yes i know about all that features just wanted to show a simpler way as your thread title says: "Knock off with ss launcher!" it doesn't say "Look what you can do with Xposed eg. Knock-Off".. anyway if that's the solution for you then everythings cool :good:

Thank you for the tip. Very useful.
I just switched over to Nova Launcher because I have my homescreen set up nice from previous devices.However, when I did this, I lost the a couple things I can seem to get back while using Nova; 1) Smart Notification (the LG widget showing weather and what not) and 2) double tap screen to lock.
With double tap to lock I did try to use the double tap gesture in the Nova Gesture settings but it isn't an option and I can't find it in the other choices.
Anyone know if there is a way to get those back?

Install the G3TweaksBox xposed module. There's an option for the Knock On Nav Bar in there and it works just fine with Nova.
Not sure about the smart Notification deal I don't use it.

Double tap notification bar to sleep. Works without any mods.
Download this app and set Nova Launcher's double tap gesture to open it.
As for the widget, well, it's pretty common that widgets from LG/Samsung/HTC et al don't work with third-party launchers. Unfortunately there isn't a solution.

Didn't know that thanks. Taping the Nav Bar seems easier though say if you're holding the phone with one hand... Either way though
