Widgets on notification pull down bar - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
Is there a way to customise the notification pull down bar so it has widgets and maybe shortcuts on it?
Thanks in advance

there are a couple of apps - "bar shortcuts" seems to be the best for adding shortcuts - not sure about widgets though.

Wait for jkay to arrive (hopefully)

Also: is it possible to alter which shortcuts appear on the notification bar when headphones are plugged in?

Yup, not showing. I've attached a screen shot.
Change the portrait grid to less than 7 and it should work

Notification icon - what does it mean?

Hi guys. I've tried googling this a fair bit, but I cant find the answer. In the top left corner of my notification bar there's an icon that looks like a bold arrow pointing left with a line/hyphen in the middle - see attachment.
Appreciate it if some wise mind would tell me what this is. It's probably something ridiculously simple, so I apologize in advance if that's in fact the case!
Thanks
it means that notifications are turned off. it also means that you are on a older firmware as that icon has been updated recently
Sorry if this was asked before but I couldn't find the answer, What is the icon with N that I have in the top middle of the page?
Thanks for your help.
I've never seen it personally but I've seen people report it as NFC.

don't. You need to change build.prop or simply use a program like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.birdapi.android.dpi

Re: [MOD] Force Navigation bar like<br>Nexus 4
Any of you get messed up screen with this mod? Everything is shifted and there is space to the right. Happens only to stick launcher, keyboard.
Also lg quick memo force closes
Undid the mod and everything is back to normal

What's the point of this mod that eats a bit of my screen? We already have the two soft buttons and the hard menu button. Like S3
Re: [MOD] Force Navigation bar like<br>Nexus 4

you must be talking about the stock lg apps such as camera, quick memo and launcher, right?
Re: [MOD] Force Navigation bar like<br>Nexus 4
The reason I got this phone was the 4.7" screen, I don't wanna lose anything of it
this is optional mod. dunno why you complain about it telling us that you don't want to use it. just give it a try, remove or do whatever you want.
I did it as someonq said: hard button. it makes me angry because i hate those hard buttons especially when i was using them for like 3 years on iPhone..
Re: [MOD] Force Navigation bar like<br>Nexus 4
Something about having redundant buttons just irks those with common sense, I guess. All serve an identical purpose and offer no difference whatsoever in sensivity and/or context, so you're basically doing it 'just because'.
derp

Except that clicking sound of home button can wake up wife/girlfriend/children/dog at night. And the button have to be pressed much harder than swipe on touchscreen.
I am terribly sorry that your [finger] is that weak.

In some cases it may or may not work that way... for example if a single mod is being done on the same apk, then simply flashing one mod after the other is just going to replace the old modded apk with the new one
For example: If one framework-res.apk has only Ripple effect enabled, then flashing another framework-res.apk with "weather on lockscreen" will cause losing of ripple effect

That's a good idea though, but who has the time?
I will try to bake all that in my ROM (if I get some free time )

Sorry for OT: Did any of your try ripple effect on lock screen... for me whenever I enable it, my lock screen loses all its color and contrast; but still the "ripple" works.... and if I disable it, it becomes ok again... anyone else noticed this??
Mine is working perfectly

But I think the folks at Ace and S3 Mini section found a fix for this... I remember seeing a screenshot of an Ace running JB with ripple effects (without that bug) in a thread somewhere in the xda forums.. I did ask them how they did it but no one bothered to reply...

The ripple effect has a white shadow image imposed on the lockscreen in order for you to be able to see the ripple effect. Without that the ripple effect won't be visible. So it is not a bug really, but it does wash out the lockscreen somewhat and is quite noticeable if you have a transparent status bar. The ink effect doesn't seem to do this tho so not sure why.

I was looking through the framework-res from the weather on lockscreen mod and noticed a differents in the bools.xml
in the stock one it shows:
<bool name="config_isWaterRippleLightEnabled">true</bool>
in the mod it shows:
<bool name="config_isWaterRippleLightEnabled">false</bool>
wonder if that makes a difference.. not tried it myself but just an idea that maybe...

So that means there is another way to enable Ripple Effect - in which that "color loss problem" is not seen...
I wonder, would it be possible to get the "updated" Ripple effect - the one S4.. maybe some kind of smali editing maybe?
