[Q] Add Shortcut to the Power Menu - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey there guys,
since the S3 cannot be completely muted with the button present in notification bar (media volume is not affected), im using an app that does this.
I'd like to replace the original button in the notification bar with that app, or add a shortcut to that app in the PowerMenu.
(The app just needs a tap on its icon and everything is muted; tap again and volume levels are in the state they were before the first tap)
Can somebody tell me how to do this? I saw an HowTo on how to add "reboot" to the PowerMenu, but frankly i was quite overwhelmed .....

A shortcut to the app in the notification bar or the power menu isn't possible yet as far as I know.
Other options are on a homescreen or the lockscreen.

ye already got it in the lock-screen via widgetLocker...
it seems to be possible though; the "tutorial" for that is just not quite noobfriendly^^ and furthermore only discusses a reboot option....
(maybe because nothing else is possible though)
(see this thread)

[Q] Customize Notifications Bar

Hey people is there any way to add items to your notification pulldown menu...??
Like in touchwiz they have the Wifi,bluetooth,rotate,ringer modes at the top... was wondering if there is a way to add that to any rom...?? currently running ALIEN...
Also is there any Music player where the Music player shortcuts appear in the pulldown menu...??? to play pause next track and previos track buttons... NOT just a shortcut to go to your application itself... the Stock Samsung music player used to do it... any others...??
Yes. Get a phone with touchwiz.

With Tasker (on the android market) you can add a notification that will do any action when pressed. I have a "next track" notification that does exactly what it says when pressed.
Widgetsoid from the market lets you add toggles to the notification including media controls.

Did you actually try it? There is even another app - notification toggle. But the problem is, that this works just when the OS support it and unfortunately official Dell rom doesn't
I tried Status Bar Settings by Karson. It doesn't work (did not register clicks in notify bar). Even on the market page, the dev recommends Widgetsoid! lol
Widgetsoid has the same problem, it just launches a little app instead of each button being an individual toggle. Not quite CM6+ (from the Notification Toggle market page: "you will get a popup to select the toggle feature if your device doesn't support multiple notification clicks")
Maybe we can petition a dev 'round here to figure out how to shoe horn in "multiple notification clicks".
...and for the record, I have been using Quick Settings on my Streak for quick access to power widgets from the notify tray.

an app wont' bring this functionality.. you need to take apart cm7 or twlauncher to inject the hotbuttons. It is somethign I have looked into a few times without success..
there are dozens of apps that put the buttons in and just open a lame widget....
i have resorted to the wireless settings info popup menu hidden in settings to quickly enable and disable the wireless radios.
The wireless activity Krad mentions is covered here at StreakSmart. I have it as one of the gesture actions on the LauncherPro dock.
You can put one tap toggles in the notification tray but each toggle takes up a line in the tray. Notification Toggle can do this. The status bar switches by friedflow also work well.

Lockscreen issues

Hi,
I've searched google and the forums in and out, and can't find anyone mention the bugs I see with the pattern/PIN lockscreen. I'm using CM9 (Nightly 20120611).
The problem begins when trying to temporarily deactivate the lockscreen, either by using the notification power widget, or by using apps which probably carry out the same OS function in order to deactivate it.
Settings -> Interface -> System -> Notification drawer -> Widget buttons -> Toggle lockscreen
Once deactivated, clicking any notification (be it an SMS, email, or any other) from the notification drawer causes the lockscreen to pop up out of nowhere, and from this moment on - it's back on, even though it's supposed to be deactivated, and the toggle is switched 'off'. Playing around with the toggle might bring the state back to normal, but down the line stranger things will happen, especially if playing with the lockscreen setting 'Show widgets before unlock' - for example the phone may unlock given any pattern/PIN, or the lockscreen toggle may become useless (no effect).
Has anyone else noticed this? Is this CM9 or ICS?
Thanks!

[Q] Quick Toggles not showing in notifications window

Running ArchiDroid v2.1 based on CM10.2 (android 4.3)
and i don't know if its bugs from the experimental cm10.2 or maybe something wrong with some setting of mine.
I've set bunch of quick toggles to show at notifications pull down window -
gps, airplane mode, bluetooth, etc etc...
when pulling down the notifications window i see only 6 quick toggles instead all of them.
when pulling/dragging to the sides, to see the other toggles like before, i see just blank space, no toggles there.
Someone experienced the issue, and maybe know how to resolve?
Thanks
Pulling down they sides is "quick pull down" and only works when there is no notifications.
There should be many settings for this. Not sure why you only have 6. Perhaps screenshots of your settings may help

didn't understand your first line.
the quick toggles in the notifications pulldown window always worked for me - not matter if there's a notification or not.
my settings is :
Settings - > System - > Notification window/drawer (not sure exactly about the english translation - mine is in hebrew) ->
Power Widget checked
Widget buttons - > All my necessary toggles is checked.
I Havent changed any special setting - those settings worked before
thanks

Power widget and Quick toggles are 2 different things. So which is it? Or is it both?
My first line, there is a setting for "quick pull down". This means you can pull down the notification area normally, but if you pull down at the side "Quick pull down" it goes to quick toggles. But only if there is no notifications.
Without screenshots, I doubt anyone can help

i always thought it was called quick toggles (used to it from jkay mod)
but i mean the power widget , it adds buttons like in jkay mod - when pulling the notifications window, on top it - this are the toggles i'm referring to.
quick pull down option is disabled in my phone settings.
Thanks

Statusbar and notifications panel freezing?

Hi all
My status bar keeps freezing randomly (either when pulling down or that I can't at all) and I must restart SystemUI From XHFW to make it work again, although something borked the Restart SystemUI function
Can anybody help?
The notification panel and statusbar still functions normally, just that the graphics get stuck halfway (invisible layer of statusbar and notification panel)
Also, my Google Keyboard does that too, except the keyboard resizes to an extremely small size and moves to the top left corner of the keyboard area, but I still can type by pressing the original locations of the keys.
More info please..........
Are you rooted?
What are you running?
Did you do all required wipes and formats?
Kind of important my friend
