[MOD][REQUEST] notification bar slide-for-brightness-DECENT FREE SUBSTITUE FOUND! - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone else miss the Samsung innovation allowing brightness control at any time by sliding across the notification bar?
Any chance this could be ported from Sammy SGS II ICS roms?

Agreed. No idea why they took it out.

Who actually gives a ****? If the mods do, presumably they'll move it. If not, why bother posting?

You should try out 'Display Brightness' on the market - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rubberbigpepper.DisplayBrightness&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsInJ1YmJlcmJpZ3BlcHBlci5EaXNwbGF5QnJpZ2h0bmVzcyJd
This recreates the Galaxy S2 slider but with many more options (can be coloured or invisible, even place it wherever you want like top/bottom/side of the screen), a really great app.

Oh AWESOME!! Great find and thanks for sharing man. Took some tweaking to get the slider width right but now it's a damn good substitute.
So for everyone interested:
Set to a top-fill slider bar.
Set width to around 1/3 of the status bar and check the "overlay status bar" box.
Now check the "auto hide box"
To work well you have to make the bar wide enough to be easily used but not so wide that it activates every time you slide your notification bar down.
Thanks again for sharing

Even better than brightness rocker, put it on the top of the screen and overlay notification bar and you have pretty much the same function as SGS2
Thanks.

Thanks for replying on 'Display Brightness' guys, glad you found it to be as usefull as I have, I tried a LOT of others before I found this one and for me it's definitely the best out there
I have mine set so it's at the top like the S2 but always visible so I can see if I've left it on full brightness, thought I'd share a screen in case anyone else is interested in this...

I've tweaked mine some more. I'm using a shorter fatter bar so sliding down for notifications doesn't trigger it by mistake and offset to bring it out from the edge a bit. Still auto hide and completely away from interfering with any other touch gesture.

Cool - thanks again for sharing
Yeah the only downside with this is catching it when sliding down the notification bar, I've just got myself into the habbit of sliding down from the top right (instead of the center) which seems to work fine

No no you can get around this. Check out the setting in my screenshot, you can shrink the bar to the right or left only

Nah I know :good: but I like the placement I have so willing to change my habbits to keep it looking like that
I like that it also pops up in landscape mode on things like the default camera and video player, such a good little app.
