Anyone know how difficult this would be to implement? I realise the switch is available on a long press of the power button but, coming from MIUI on the HD2, I loved how everything was available as a toggle on the pull down.
This would indeed be very useful, I generally toggle Wifi and Data one after another and having them side by side will be good.
I even tried Extended Widgets and Widgetsoid, but they have kind of half baked implementation. I think in recent CyanogenMod builds, this feature was available as part of custom Power Widgets, so was hoping that a custom ROM would have this too(I am still on rooted stock). But seeing that OP is on Villain ROM, looks like will have to wait for AOSP builds to come out, unless someone has an answer.
hi as im not a dev and havent got a clue how this works, i thought i would ask in here.
it would be very much apreciatet to get the reboot option and reboot to recovery in the shutdown menu back like in some of the p-roms added to 2.3 roms
and would it be possible for someone to make the notification bare menu like i had on my desire which allowed for toggling wifi and other things just by pulling the bar down and pressing a button. like this:

best regards and thx to all the devs for making great roms and tweaks

Yeah, unfortunately none of those are available in the current 2.3.4 roms and these features aren't that easy to implement.
CM7 is on the way though and it has these and many other features built in, so follow the progress of that
The currently available alternatives that you can use on 2.3.4:
Reboot / Recovery / Bootloader options - Quick Boot app from the market (doesn't add those options to shutdown menu, but you can do those reboots from within the app)
Notification power controls - Quick Settings (puts a shortcut to itself in notification), Widgesoid (adds power control to notification, but it's not directly clickable), Power Controls Plus (same as previous), QuickDesk (custom dashboard, probably the best option).
Good luck.
i will do that then but it is some of the most usefull and nice features to have i believe.....
Hi I'm looking for a mod to show the navbar controls in the power menu
I'm using kaos droid ROM which I think is based on cm10.1
I've used a ROM previously that had this feature I think it might have been aokp, I'm not totally sure but I'm wanting to stick with this ROM while getting this feature if possible
Can anybody point me towards a mod that will work on my nexus 7?
Thanks in advance
Are you referring to this?

No I already have this which I want to use so that I can run all apps in full screen, but there is a mod which will insert the navbar buttons (home, back, recent apps) into the power menu so that you can still access them when expanded desktop is enabled.
It's that mod that I'm looking for
I'm not sure if anyone else experiences this, but when I install any release of carbon, the home button doesn't work. It isn't just a hardware problem, even with the touch screen nav bar enabled, the home button still doesn't work. I have formatted everything. The browser opens and closes immediately, the status bar toggle menu won't show, and the lock screen doesn't show. This rom looks amazing, but it seems like i have some rare problem that hasn't been brought up before.
These problems are still active even in LiquidSmooth. I will be trying other AOKP based roms later.

I'm using carbon now and I don't have those issues. I was using liquid with no issues until the recent update, now my browser closes when trying to view flash content.
Carbon has several versions for different devices. Make sure you're using the one for your device.

I'm using this version: i605. I've only seen this problem being mentioned once before. I really want this rom:/ guess I'll go back to pacman. Do you know any other 4.2.2 rom that is stable, and has the camera in the lockscreen?

No I don't, sorry. I don't use the special lockscreen features.
You can try rootbox.
I'm having the same issue. Home screen button is not working and lock screen isn't either. When I hit the home button on the nav bar it shows as being hit but nothing happens. It's driving me nuts.

Have you installed the correct gapps, not all aosp roms use the same gapps.

If you have any suggestions, add in comments and I'll update the OP. Going to try to keep this list as comprehensive as possible.
Ambient Display: Stock ambient display sucks, so I don't miss it here. But would be nice to get something similar to Moto's active notifications to make use of the amoled panel.
Smart power-save: What does it really do? Is it limiting CPU speed? Is it using a more conservative governor? I can't tell any difference (performance or battery) when it's on vs off.
Voiceprint: Completely useless. I bet not a single person uses this.
MyVoice: This would be MUCH more useful if you could trigger it without touching phone while screen was off. In its current form, the time it takes to unlock my phone, hold back, say my command, and wait for it to respond, I'd be better off just doing whatever I wanted it to do. Screen off voice commands are natively supported by Qualcomm, even when the phone is in Doze.
Gesture & Motion:
-Double tap to wake is very slow and doesn't work when phone has gone into Doze.
It also works in your pocket because there is no proximity sensor check. There needs to be.
-Shake flashlight: You really need to shake your phone violently now. So violently in fact that you will throw your phone more often than not trying to turn your flashlight on.
-Give us some kind of camera gesture when phone is off. Double tap power, hold volume button, shake phone, whatever.
Navigation Keys: Capacitive buttons should be optional. I like being able to swap which side the back button is on, but we should be able to customize long-presses.
Battery Percentage: Should be displayed inside the battery icon or replace it. Uses up a ton of space on the status bar.
Workaround: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.kroegerama.android4batpercent
Holster Mode: Completely useless. This is a phone, not a fitbit. Keeping the phone screen on all the time to use as a pedometer will destroy your battery life.
Cast Screen: Why is this not a toggle in the notification shade? Why do I need to dig into the display settings to do this? You have a dual sim quick-toggle, but not a cast screen quick-toggle?
Sound: I really like that when I mute ringer, media volume also mutes. But when you unmute, it goes back to whatever it was at before, which can be a lot louder than you think. Android should tie all volumes except alarm volume together, but if nothing else, let us tie ringer and notification volume together.
Mute Schedule: Why did they remove stock 6.0's timed do not disturb functionality?
Charging Sounds: Should be able to turn off.
Apps: To disable stock calendar, clock, gallery, mifavor launcher, my voice, stock music app, and stock video app, you have to open "stock android launcher" and drag icons from the app drawer to top of screen. Why can't we just disable these same apps from settings --> apps?
Storage: Let us use adaptable storage!
Connect to PC: Does the "Install driver" option do anything? Have not found a computer that does not install driver automatically when MTP selected.
Lockscreen: Get rid of the bell!
Notification Shade: Editing toggles is nice, but let us add and remove toggles. Many of us don't use a 2nd sim card, so having 3 related toggles is a waste of space.
System UI Tuner: Holding the gear icon in the notification shade causes it to spin and settings to open, but System UI Tuner never appears in settings. If you're not going to let us use System UI Tuner, get rid of the toggle.
Stock Weather widget: I really like the widget, but does not scale when resizing. Also, does not open Google clock if stock clock is disabled when clicked. Oh well, back to Chronus.
Toolkit: Not all of these are very useful, but definitely interesting. If you want to create a home screen shortcut to any of these, open the toolkit app and long press whatever icon you like.
Recent Apps: clear button shouldn't cover up 50% of the currently open app. This will be solved in nougat, so probably not worth fixing, but if you're going to put a clear all button on this screen, but it near the top left or top right so it's harder to accidentally press.
Status Bar Color: When status bar turns dark, icons stay dark so you can't read anything. These should turn white.
Speaker Phone: If on speaker phone and screen times out, other person can no longer hear you until you toggle speakerphone off then back on, which means constantly touching your phone's screen so it doesn't time out.
Phone call Proximity Sensor: Doesn't work. If you turn the screen off and hold the phone up to your head, if the proximity sensor sees light, which it will because it's not centered, it will turn the screen BACK ON. With this and the bug above together, phone calls are a huge pain in the ass.
Dolby Atmos: This resets EQ settings very often. I can't figure out what causes it to reset to default, but the settings just never seem to stick.
Anyone have any more info on this?
Write Protection on Rooted phones: Rooted and still can't get adaway or titanium backup to work? Turns out there's an extra layer of write protection here that's not found in other phones. Why do we need this? Luckily, there's a simple fix: Plug phone into computer, load up adb, type "adb reboot disemmcwp" (source:http://androidforums.com/threads/zte-write-protection-for-zmax-and-other-zte-phones.1040331/)
Disable stock apps: in B20, you could disable several stock apps that did not allow you to disable them in settings --> apps by opening"stock Android" launcher and dragging app drawer icons to disable. Seems that has been removed in B27, so now we have no way to disable redundant clocks and calendars to name a few.
Any more suggestions? Anyone know any fixes for the above?

You can enable this with an app - search for "Battery Percent Enabler" in the Play Store. This was mentioned elsewhere in the forum - credit goes there.

Good summary. I can't believe someone actually thought the notification bell (and subsequently, the inability to turn it off) was a good idea.
I'm going to try to list workarounds here as well, so if someone can come up with good fixes for any of this stuff without waiting for ZTE, please share!
Updated with some new findings and ideas.
I actually like the bell, let's me check the time without having to worry about somebody seeing embarrassing notifications. ?

But Android already has a perfectly working system to hide notification content before unlocking the device. You can even pick which apps to show and which ones to hide. And, most importantly, it's OPTIONAL. And it's actually much better at protecting your privacy. With the bell, all the content is visible without actually unlocking your phone.. it just makes it more inconvenient to access.
Ability to turn off charging sounds.
Added charging sounds. Thanks for the feedback!

What about the charging sound? I got my phone on vibrate all the time (a phone ringing is considered super rude in most part of europe) and it just vibrates a bit when plugging in.

Mine does the same (also on mute all the time). Apparently if you have volume on, it makes noise. Either way, should be able to toggle the "charging notification".
Added speaker phone and proximity bugs.

"Wake on Plug" toggle (waking up screen on plug or unplug). I have this option on a Nexus tablet and OnePlus One phone, but it does not exist in MiFavor.

What do you mean with stock android launcher? Where do i find it? I cant deactive this bloat without root
The phone, at least in US version, comes with a launcher called "Stock Android Launcher", but it is just a differently themed MiFlavor launcher, not a real stock android launcher. Confusing, but that is what is there.

Settings > Themes and Wallpapers.
On the US model, there's a theme titled "Stock Android". When using that theme, you can open up the app drawer, press and hold on an app, and on the top of the screen there's a "Disable" option. This is different from the standard Settings > Apps > selecting an app > Disable (which is greyed out for most of the stock apps).

Sadly, no such option on G Version -.- only 5 slightly different ZTE themes.
Also no Myvoice in g version. WTF?!
@xxBrun0xx: I saw you linked to this list in a ZTE forum, but I think it would be better if it had its own thread as well.
In addition to "wake on plug" toggle I mentioned a few posts above, I would like to see an option to remap capacitative buttons to whatever user wants, right now they can only be "flipped", but ability to have custom functions (on both short and long press) would be helpful. I personally, would like to use one of the button for menu rather than for recent apps.
