[Q] Quickly open Quick Settings? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm trying to set up a shortcut to open the JB quick settings window (the one you get by swiping the corner of the status bar, or swiping with two fingers, depending on your preference), and I can't seem to find a command for it anywhere. Not in Tasker, not in the Activities list, and no widget in the Play store that opens it with a tap. Oddly, I can use the Nova Launcher "Nova Actions" menu to create an "expand quick settings" button, but it can only sit on the home screen, while I want to add a button to my quick launch. If I could just create a widget or shortcut that toggles that button it'd work fine, but I can't find the functionality anywhere.
I'm running CM10.1. Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

On HTC ONE you pull your notifications down with 2 fingers.

[Q] How do you hide the main dock in ADW EX

I just update ADW and in doing so it changed my setup including not a big deal, however after looking through all of the menu settings I cannot figure out how to hide the main dock bar. I did have my setting backed up but when I restore then the system revert back to the new ADW defaults. Anyone figure this out?
I just figured this out a few minutes ago.
adw settings -> general behavior -> gestures -> swipe down actions -> open/close dockbar
go back to main screen, swipe down on your screen to close the dock bar
go back to settings and change your gesture back to whatever you were using.

Nice find, I just found a way myself by long pressing on the screen and choosing launcher actions than open/close dock bar.
Now to find out how to place an icon outside of the blue square in other words place an icon anywhere on the screen as before.

Found a problem with both methods, if you rotate your tab the bar comes back up and you have to swipe it again.
If you don't want the dock disable it in the settings

That setting is missing with the recent update also the secondary dock is now gone in this update.
Did the update remove full screen use? Unless I am not understanding the settings in the update. I have been messing with it for an hour. Last update was amazing, this one, seems to have lost some functions.

Apparently the recent update consoldate the old "Dock Bar" and the "Main Dock". They seem to have removed the setting for show/hide the dock from the settings menu, but like others discovered you can still toggle it via the old "show/hide dock bar" command.

The developer has posted another update the fixes the hiding of the bar not sticking also you can use the whole screen again to place icons. I like ADW again.
Easiest thing I've found is to use the "Open/close Dockbar" shortcut.
Longpress desktop ~ Launcher Actions ~ Open/close Dockbar will put the shortcut on the desktop. Then you can open or close it with one touch instead of swiping and/or setting/resetting your ADW Settings.

[Q] Quick Scroll and Notification Center

I recently switched over from iOS and loving the android so far but there are a couple of issues I'm having trouble with.
I was wondering how can I go about adding a quick scroll to top of the page feature/gesture with 4.3? iOS was just a simple tap to the top of the page.
I do miss my notification center, my notifications are coming at the top of the screen and then I have to slide down to open them. Is there any app that would show the notifications in iOS like format? I would like to be able to swipe directly into the app without hitting the slide down menu.
What program is recommended to use for controlling music? I'm using a S4 device.
Thanks in advance!

[Request] Swipe Floating Windows to Switch between Apps

this would be similar to Alt+Tab on a PC - except you'd swipe left and right on the floating window... maybe add a top bar to the floating window so as to not conflict with apps that require left/right swipe to open menus, and then swipe that top bar.
i think that'd make the floating window mode 10x more useful than it's current iteration where it's a one time, one way operation.
another related function would be from this advanced floating window mode, as you're cycling through apps, users could then swipe up or down to close that particular app, thus removing it from the cycle.

Nova launcher question

So I just set up nova, ive used it for nearly every phone. My question is, how can I get the double tap screen on and off back? The original LGG3 launcher has that and ive grown accustomed to it. Ive looked in activities and tried a couple different things like monitor activity, but that just disabled the monitor to where I needed to pull the battery. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Install an app called "screen off and lock." Then you'll be able to set the double tap gesture to "screen off" in Nova's settings.
I've used that app and it works great. If you already use greenify you can goto gestures in Nova and select doubletap and the choose greenify screen off/hibernate shortcut or use that screen off app.
Thanks guys, the app worked great
If you dont want to install and app you can double tap on the notification bar
I actually ended up deleting the app and using greenify
I haven't tried on Nova yet, but using Google Now Launcher double tab on lock screen still works. Double tab the status bar on the homescreen locks the device.
Try double tapping the status bar?

Any way to add a widget to the floating bar?

Basically what the title said, I wanted to add the mobile hotspot widget to the floating bar so I can just toggle it on/off without opening the app. Any one know if/how this can be done?
Doesn't look like it can be done. You can't even add one of the app shortcuts that appears when you long press an app icon on your home screen. I'm still trying to figure out what apps I'd actually throw in there as I already have the icons for my most used apps on my home screen.
