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.....
There's a great live wall paper called "MultiPicture Live Wallpaper" by IIIIIT. It allows the wall paper to change every time you change your screen (out of the 5 screens available). The new sense on the 3D have disabled it because it displays screen 5 and the live wall paper can not function properly.
Also, the carousel is overly sensitive. What's the point of being able to spin all 5 screens?
So, if you can contact HTC to try to have these problems fixed. I know others are having issues as well, I just don't know what they are.
This is what I sent HTC:
With the new sense on the Evo 3D, the new carousel disables reporting which screen you're on. This is affecting many users in many ways. Could you please update it so that developers can once again make the calls to find out "which screen" is being displayed?
Thanks

I agree that the carousel is an awful "feature." What's the big deal, SPB Mobile Shell did this on Windows Mobile many moons ago. I find it annoying because if I swipe too hard, I get a spinning window and I don't end up on the screen I wanted. I now have to be extra careful when I swipe. That's just silly.
This is so pointless.

What's my choice to disable that, yet keep sense 3.0?
How about my choice to change sensitivity so it doesn't do a full 360?
And i'm being serious, not a wiseass. Is there a setting we can access to change this?
AND BTW, Mr. Orange, you will now be Mr. Pink! Because someone else is Mr. Orange.
Sense has 7 screens.
I think the carousel and static wallpaper should be optional, because i like both the carousel and the static wallpaper. I also understand that others don't. HTC provide us with some new check boxes in the "Personalize" menu

You said it, an option to use or not use would be ideal. Please let HTC know!

The carousel effect is cool, IMO, and there are some features implemented within it that make it better. Some of these features people may not know about and which will make their experience with the carousel slightly better.
First, it really isn't that sensative. I have only accidentally initiated it once, when I dragged my finger across the entire screen.
With the 360 effect, it always returns to the screen you were previously on, never the main home screen (unless that happens to be the one you are on).
When the spin is initiated, you can make it continue to spin the same direction by swiping it over and over, and you can also get it to spin in the oposite direction by swipping the other way. Once the spin has been initiated, you don't have to do the long strokes across the screen to keep it spinning.
If you simply tap on one of the spinning screens, the spin will immediately stop on the screen you tapped on. If you hold your finger on the screen after you tapped on it, it will stop the carousel spin, but remain in that carousel screen, which you can then guide to the screen you want where it will stop.
The carousel is actually really cool if you know how to use all of the features built into it.
Not being a smart ass, but what the hell lol. Why do you guys have to swipe so hard? I never have a problem getting to the screen i want...

Thanks for the tips, but still for me, there's 1 main issue, I can't use a particular live wall paper because the system call returns screen 5, and that there causes the problem and was told it can't be worked around.
The major problem for most is not that they swype to hard, but with just a little of a flick the screens will rotate 360. What for? Although I will say that I like that the screen on the right most will continue on to the screen on the left most of screens.
But, an option to disable would definitely be the fix for some of this. Sensitivity would fix the rest.

I still don't have that problem buy maybe we differ on our opinion on what a little flick is. The reason they included it is for eye candy. I see no other reason really.

I have never accidentaly enabled carousel effect while swiping. Everytime I make it happen by actually showing it off to someone. Never happens on accident. So I really dont think it is over sensitive.
You guys know what? After reading all of the comments, I did some testing. If you give it a good swype, it won't spin around as long as you don't swype more than half the width of the screen. Once you go past that distance, the 360 kicks in.
Try it for yourselves and check it out.
I guess I must be used to the evo and it's slightly wider feeling screen and that is causing problems for me and some others.
All the other functions of the carousel are useless to me and I see t hem as only eye candy... which can be better used with the mult live wall paper
I am desperated by now. I need a way to disable autolock, but in all lockscreens apps, not only on the one that comes with the phone. I guess what I need is an action like when you are on a call and the screen goes off but the phone is still awake.
For example, I want to use Go Locker, and I have my screen timeout set to 15 seconds. When the 15 seconds passes my screen goes off, but also, Go Locker autotriggers itself. I don't want that to happen because it is annoying as hell to be unlocking all the time.
I have read thoulsands of threads here and in other websites, and I have try tons of apps, all of that with no results.
I have read that you can do what I want with Tasker, but I haven't figured out how.
Please, somebody help me, this issue has been driving me mad for two weeks now!
Thanks in advance and sorry for my english
um can't you just disable the lockscreen?
system settings -> Security -> Screen lock -> select "None"

Haven't you read me? I want to have a lockscreen, especially a custom one, not the ugly uncustomizable system one. For example, as I said, Go Locker. But I also want to prevent the autolock when the screen goes off. I want the lockscreen (any lockscreen) to trigger only when I press the button, and not when the screen goes off. Or at least to trigger itself after a long time, let's say 30 minutes. I need some app or something to turn off the screen just like in calls, but I don't know where else to look at this point...
Have a look in the store for Delayed Lock, it's a rather handy little app. There's a free trial available, the support thread is on XDA http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=955092

It only works with the system lockscreen, not with any other lockscreen... it even force you to use a pattern. What if I want to use the swipe method instead?
I tell you people, I think I need to trigger the same effect that happens when you are on a call. The screens disconects but the phone is still awake.
Thanks anyway but I still lost...
You may want to consider using Cyanogenmod since they include several such tweaks. In Settings->Lock Screen->Screen security you can delay the lock by up to 30 minutes if it timed out. Pressing power button engages it immediatly.
Alternatively, take a look at Juice Defender, it also has such an option but if I remember correctly not as customizable.
I use No Lock. Not what you want, but it works great.

Is not that, that is only for system lockscreen ant also, not for swipe lockscreen. I want something that applies to ANY lockscreen, like Go Locker.
I'll try Juice Defender.

You want to be able to keep your screen on indefinitely until you close the screen manually?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Yes, I want the screen to go off in 15 seconds for example, but not to lock until I press the power button. Or at least until a minimun time has passed, like 30 minutes.
I want to think that I can do this with Tasker, but I don't know how! Any help?
Why not just use NoLock? It has a toggle. Toggle it on for when you want backgrounding without a lock screen and then turn it off when you want your phone to lock?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
I don't want that because of two reasons:
1 - It completely disables the lockscreen and I don't want that. I don't want to be toggling all the time. It's almost the same as unlocking all the time, at least for me.
2 I don't think it works with custom lockscreens.
Thanks anyway.
Try miui with tons of different lock screens and everyone is system. I think this is app specific rrally.. Either you get what you want with system lockscreen or you do a request for the developer of the lockscreen you want to use....

Sorry mate, just downloaded Golauncher and Golocker to see if I could do this for you, but it seems like the whole process is pretty closed off, I can't find a way for tasker to influence golocker in any way.
Works with widgetlocker though... just sayin'
What works with widgetlocker??
Is it possible to have the multi-floating window app instead of the split screen app if running in phone mode? I like the big layout of phone mode but dont want the softkeys for home,back, ect.... Only want to use floating multi when I long press back instead of split screen? Is that possible.
You can try in the xposed app settings module, or you can run phablet, with soft keys. Rhis will give you floating window at the expense of having soft keys. I would love rablet mode with icons in phone mode. Good question.....
"One small step for man, One giant leap for mankind" said anyone who has tried Moon Rom
Yeah. The phablet mode is not really my issue. Its not a problem for me to change the DPI of the apps I use.. Its things like the notification bar is too small and I'm not a fan of the split screen in the settings. I also don't like the softkeys. I don't need screen real estate wasted for duplicate buttons

In right there with you on soft keys and I'm hoping a new version of Moon ROM will have some way to allow you to get rid of the Nav Bar/soft keys similar to how you can get rid of it on ParanoidAndroid by setting the Nav bar to 0 in Hybrid settings.

Hi,
I've recently rooted my Verizon Galaxy S4 (THANK YOU open1your1eyes0 for the guide, and hiikezoe, DooMLoRD, and PWM978 for the root exploit!) and everything went pretty much flawlessly.
So brimming with confidence after almost a week of root related tweaking I'm now hunting for a solution to replace part of the functionality of the right hand side HARDWARE button for putting my phone to sleep - or whatever the correct term is for when "I click the button to make my screen go dark so as to avoid calling people with my butt while I'm carrying my phone around".
Is there such a thing?
As an old school IT guy, my philosophy is that I'd rather use the touch screen (with like a toggle or what have you) for this super frequent function than use the hardware button which will eventually wear the hell out. Yeah, I know it prolly has around a gogillian use cycles before that day but I'm a bit of a purist and maybe we should just call it a philosophy with me. Or maybe I'm debilitatingly OCD.
Either way, is there such a solution out there? I'm hoping for a toggle similar to the pull-down shade buttons already provided for mobile data, or GPS etc. However I would also be satisfied with a standalone "app" type button I could situate someplace handy onscreen or maybe even in a "Button Savior" type "drawer" that I could access with just a flick and click after every phone call (and BEFORE I drop the phone into my pocket and call random people as I have been doing far too often *lol*)
Anyway, thanks for reading and I appreciate any help you may be able to give me to get me pointed in the right direction.
Best regards,
Joe C.
Only thing I can consider is trying to get a job with Samsung and maybe they will let you build the s5 with the buttons you want. Good luck!

Thanks hexitnow and nativi! I appreciate your time answering me but I should have been clearer. I had seen those various "app" options and even tried a few.
What I was trying to describe by, "..a toggle similar to the pull-down shade buttons already provided for mobile data, or GPS etc." was the actual rectangular toggle buttons for those functions and others like airplane mode and screen rotation and all. I'm referring to the batch of buttons which can even be reordered to control which 5 are displayed across the top of the pull down shade area.
One of the Play Store apps called "Screen Off and Lock" by "Katecca" comes close because it lets you configure it to show in the pull down shade - but only in the "Text" area of the "Notifications" area (like where battery info or things like that are shown). Am I describing what I mean adequately?
It's a wonderful app but I was hoping to limit the screen real estate dedicated to this function even more is all.
Thank you again though for your tips.
Best,
Joe C.
The free Button Savior app can do this. Use the on/off looking button.
Also in system settings, security, device administrator, you need to give lock screen privilege to Button Savior
Would nova Launcher have a gesture that you could do to turn the screen off with a gesture or even a gesture app.
