How to modify quick access menu on android 2.42? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When you swing your finger down on android 2.42 you see that well known notifications menu. However there is a new tab called "Quick Access".
Devs dropped there what they imagine would be useful (their imagination always stops in a half way).
So is there any possibility to edit this menu?
I'm looking in the configuration menus but I can't find anything.
Thanks.

(APP REQUEST) Manila mod for endless Manila-Sense slider

if such a manila mod does not yet exist (note that I searched in xda'developers before posting), may I suggest to our great Manila modders to mod the slider to enable endless sliding (I mean, being able to nonstop sliding from last tab to first tab and beyond, or the other way around)
I guess you're talking about some sort of a loop, right?
I never payed attention to this issue on my TyTN II because I used to use the keypad all the rime, however on my HD2 things are a little bit different... the home button does the trick, but it's not as convenient as way you describe it
That feature is sort of available already.
I mean, not directly, when you are in the home tab, swiping left to right (in the tab area not the slider), will bring you to the last tab; if you're on the last tab, swiping from right to left (again in the tab area not the slider) will bring you to the home tab.

Thanks for your attention
Yes, I know, and that was the driver for my suggestion/ feature request, as it needs several swipes in the non-slider area.
My suggestion makes posible arrive to the desired tab, via single swipe on the shortest route, left or right wise!
I think I know what you're saying but I have another idea.
I think a carousel type idea would be awesome. Just grab the slider and flick it left or right and the slider keeps going until either, kinetically it slows to a stop on its own, or you stop it with your finger to land on the desired tab. It would go around and around in a big loop, animating all tabs the way the Co0kie Home Tab Mod allows you to slide between pages of quick links. I think this would be an INCREDIBLE mod to see become a reality.

[Q] Cyanogenmod 10 Developer tools?

I have been lurking on this site for a while. Let me say thank you to all the developers here, its incredible that you would take time out of your life to help other people with our miniscule problems that we bring upon ourselves.
Anyway I recently upgraded from cyanogenmod 9 to cyanogenmod 10 on my Samsung infuse 4g. In the 9th version, there was a section in the system menu for developer tools. In it was a bunch of options but the one i am concerned with is the cursor. Actually i cant recall what it is called but when enabled, it shows a little circle wherever the screen is being touched. I love that feature and i figured it would still be in the 10th version but i cannot find it. I dont know what to search for to find information so i had to create this account and ask.
Okay i was playing with the settings and i found this.
Settings - Lock Screen - Slider shortcuts - drag the dot to a new location - activities - Dev tools - Pointer Location
but when i lock the screen and then unlock it and slide the dot to the icon, it just brings up a kind of app. the one in CM9 was global and it was different, it didnt track the touch, just showed it...
found it (?)
okay i found how to enable it but its hidden like a *****
Had to set Dev tools to the slider icon, then save, lock the screen, unlock it, slide to the dev tools icon, and the developer options is THERE. WHO PUT IT THERE?! How were we supposed to get to it? The dev tools contain many useful features. I use the long press back key kill app feature, and some people might use the max background processes to free up memory. You can change transition animation timing, and lots of other things. IDK why they hid it away on CM10 unlike CM9.
Anyway thats where the dev tools are. Question answered, maybe it will help someone else.

Go to settings - About Phone - And press on the "build number" for 7 times.
You will get a message saying "You're now a developer" or something.
And the Developer Options menu should be available in settings.

Shortcuts to HwModuleTest tests

Hello,
The phones from Samsung, and a lot of other android phones as well, have a hardware module test. When in the dialer, you pres *#0*# for a menu to pop up. In this menu there are several tests to be done. My question is fairly simple. I'm searching for a way to make a shortcut to those test. So not the hardware module test menu, but specifically a test, let say the LED test.
I've two devices. A rooted Tab S (without dialer app) and a S7. When I'm on my Tab S, and make a shortcut in my launcher for an activity, I can scroll down to HwModuleTest and select a ton of activities ( see screenshot), but when I click on it, it says that the application is not installed. On my S7 I tried doing the same, but I didn't get as much options as on my Tab S, but if i choose the main activity, it also says application not installed.
Question: Is there another way to make this shortcut (WITHOUT ROOT)-or-is there a way to monitor all the activities the phone has. That way I can see what specific activity the HwModuleTest uses to peform these tests.
My gratitude will be great.

AOKP Nougat: lost process manager's knob

Hi there,
I'm using AOKP Nougat with my Samsung GS III LTE (i9305). I discovered this ROM looking for an alternative ROM available for my device. And I'm pretty satisfied of it, it's efficient, simple, light and in the same time very open to personal setup.
But I've lost a function that was very helpful: In my scrolling menu, I had a little processor (or RAM?) knob just beside the settings icon. Clicking on it allowed me to manage all the running and back task running apps.
But since a few time, this knob disappeared from the scrolling menu and I look after it different places like ROM control and many other settings menu but I didn't found it...
So if someone see what I'm talking about and knows how to get it back, I would be so glad!
Thanks.

few options I've found

So I found a few options. I was originally looking for launcher options to add Google swipe to right for news feed. I believe it's called discover. Not to sure. I found the hidden menu on the LG V20.
However, I came across a few cool things like the recents tab. I just don't know how to enable it. Perhaps someone who knows how these things work can show me?
Also has anyone successfully hidden the time in the right hand corner? I use system ui turner, after enabling options that I like, if I turn off the screen, the options no longer stick.
