I really miss the simple pull down from jellybean 4.1.2 where I just had to have on pull down and I could easily enable or disable airplane mode, wifi, gps.
Now I have to pull down and hit settings to have those toggles enabled or disabled. I find that one extra step annoying but can't find an option in most AOKP roms to disable pressing settings to get to my toggles. Is there a way to change this?

It must be there in display settings. If not just get the "notification toggle" from play store.
Does what ya need and you can chose which toggles ya need.
LIFE! It's what you make out of it!
Swipe down on status bar with two fingers. You'll go directly to quick settings. Also both CM and AOKP have a setting where you can configure swiping down on the left and right sides to take you directly to notifications or quick settings. For example, swipe down on left side brings up notifications and swipe down on right side automatically brings up quick settings. And I think there's a setting to directly display quick settings if there are no notifications wherever you swipe. CM also still includes the old style power widget at the top of the notification bar. If you want it, you just have to enable it in settings. So you see, there are many ways you can make using the quick settings a *really* quick and straightforward process. I find the quick toggles to be better than the old style toggles because I get to it in one step and everything shows on one screen (by increasing the number of toggles per row). No extra scrolling step like with the horizontal toggles. But some toggles such as screen timeout, screen lock etc aren't present in quick settings, so I use a combination of quick settings for all the usual toggles and the horizontal old toggles for the ones which aren't available.

Oh I missed to note that he was talking about 4.2

Thanks. Currently I'm still on my 4.1.2 TWRP backup but am trying to transition to 4.2. A lot of features missing in a lot of custom roms and Gapps. Ie photosphere, poor battery economy due to a host of issues (ie unresolved wakelocks) that kind of doesn't make the switch worth it for me yet.
Photosphere will never be included in AOSP ROMs even for Nexus devices because it's not part of the AOSP camera source code. It requires a proprietary Google version of the camera copied from Nexus devices along with proprietary library files. Reason is it uses street view technology and that's Google's proprietary technology, not open source. The Google camera also includes Picasa album sync, which isn't present in the AOSP camera/gallery code because it is proprietary too.
So if you want photosphere, you'll have to find Gapps that include the proprietary camera and libs or a flashable zip of only those parts and flash them to your phone. The standard Gapps package includes a check to flash these parts to Nexus devices automatically, although you should remember that flashing the closed source GalleryGoogle.apk will remove any customizations made by CM, AOKP etc to the camera.
Also, regarding battery, since codefireX SR5 many people have been reporting great battery life using the recommended settings (interactive gov, SIO scheduler, 149-1024/1200 Mhz). Synergye made some changes to increase battery life, and it's showing in the reports of users. People who are still experiencing average battery life with this ROM most probably have old batteries (like me) or some rogue apps installed. New batteries make a world of difference.

Short concise to the point and educational. A lot of it I alreadyd did know except for why the coding wasn't present. I am good on wakelocks etc (see my signature). Thanks so much. Bohoth shukria bhai!

First off, I'm not the developer of the app nor affiliated with the developer in any way. Just a HUGE fan and wanna share with those who aren't familiar with the app. See the original thread for all downloads and official changlogs http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330150
PLEASE CONSIDER DONATING TO THE DEV IF YOU LIKE THE APP! I just ask for a thanks
Must be rooted! Installs like a normal apk.
Very cool app and great for single hand use since it can launch pretty much anything and has all the actions you need.
Post some pics!
My color code for my pie.
#9c003340,#00000000,,,#d5008091,,
Almost matches the stock tw theme.
I am using this app on my old N7 2k13 back since KitKat forced that dumb separate navbar on us. Well, on the Tab S I disabled the capacitive buttons (hit them by accident all the time) and use LMT again in combination with the Home button.
Yeah, I'm always holding my tab with one hand watching videos or browsing so this is a must have for me! Pie was the only reason I ran Paranoid on some of my devises before LMT
Hi really like your color but prefer my pie opaque, what would I need to change in your code?

Once you paste the color code, all you need to do is move then 'alpha' bar all the way to the right on the normal and gradient colors. You don't need to do anything with the color code, it'll adjust it for you while saving the color!
hi my friend i have the verizon lg g3, running on kitkat custom stock rom.. skydragon!!
i want to know about what rom have more satbility, battery perfomance
im looking for this on a stock custom rom:
lollipop rom
no problem with xposed
everything works like a charm...
lg smart cover and smart cover works running xposed too
no crash in the more setting.
battery perfomance
system stability
PD: i know that some thread have a quick cover app.. to replace the stock app.. and its working with the g3 plus xposed! somebody test it or can review that!
if the rom is AOSP what rom is better and contain the following features:
double tap to sleep everywhere
double tap to wake
knock code
lg quick circle cover &smart weather
infrared controller
system stability
battery performance
some way to use google now theme with appdrawer folder?
PD: i know that some thread have a quick cover app.. to replace the stock app.. and its working with the g3 plus xposed! somebody test it or can review that!
i really feel very thankfull about the answer of this thread..
thnks you in advance
And I want a wife who has hot friends and will not sleep with anyone else but will let me hook up with said hot friends at will...
The point is: It's give and take; you have to figure out what is most important and go with it.
I may suggest that you learn a little more about Android, licensing, and the differences between stock and AOSP before laying out your list of demands, because many of these are just not possible.
Stock:
Xposed is currently in an alpha state on Lollipop, requires the removal of the smart weather and cover apps, in order to function on KitKat and Lolllipop alike. Going to the "More settings...." will produce a crash as a result of this removal. That is clearly noted in numerous threads for Xposed on LG.
AOSP/CM:
Knock code is an LG feature that requires their framework and, I think, a kernel module, too; no dice on AOSP.
You can get double tap to wake, double tap anywhere to sleep on lockscreen, and double tap on status bar anywhere. The implementation on status bar only is far smarter.
Quick cover is available; not sure about the circle..
LG Weather is an LG app and requires their framework; no dice. There are far better options available anyway.
The IR may not lend itself to every app, but the QRemote app has been ported and works great.
Google Now is available.
App drawer folders are a feature of certain launchers and most work fine on AOSP ROMs.
You may test anything that you like where it comes to Xposed. I'm sure that the devs would appreciate detailed feedback.

My work around for double tap to sleep anywhere was to use slim actions and place it on the home screen as well as double tap on status bar or nav bar.
I've been on aicp for a while now and really enjoying it. Very solid and a lot of features.
Hi,
I'm curious what features all of you use in ROMs or what optimisations you would like to see (CAF, a custom toolchain, etc...). This just crossed through my head while I was working on MR and a project that I will release soon. Do you guys use Xposed, do you use a custom launcher, what features do you use in other ROMs, do you use a specific DPI that you feel is more optimal, do you like custom branding or do you like the stock (if the former, feel free to make some. I'm not good with that stuff), what should I name it (I was thinking something Star Wars related), is there a custom kernel you'd like to see, do you use a custom HAL, do you use the stock dialer and messenger, etc...
This will be a long term project with no release date that will be concrete. Hopefully you guys will provide me with feedback. It will be specifically for the X as I have no plans of switching devices for a long time.
Here's another thing too. I'm doing this to teach myself. I think I brought it up once before, but I will make stupid mistakes and I hope a few of you can help me with it. I really do appreciate it. The main goal is for me to familarize myself with the device tree and with Git while providing you guys with a solid ROM
Thanks guys,
RJ

Hey,
for me are the importants things:
-layers or cm Theme
-customizable status bar
-switch back and recent
-make status bar invisible (fullscreen/immersive mode)
I use stock dialer/messenger and so on, snapdragon camera and also xposed for some tweaking. I use a custom kernel if my rom is not fast enough for me and the custom HAL with 4k recording too.
I hope this helped you,
regards from the "bad-english-speaker"
Good post, (p.s i hate star wars themed roms) pls no
auto brightness button on pull down bar
some apps like sony apps or something (so it's different to all the rest)
Well, stability and battery life conquers all. So to be precise , I like oos with dark theme and yeah custom kernel . I wish I could use Sultan's fix for camera but with that I can't use manual mode. Most of the features of cm can be added through gravitybox . Nova launcher is quite good and smooth, so I would suggest not to put much effort on launcher customization.
I see that you have taken a lot of interest in Kernel optimization and tweaking, so may be that's where you should start. Wish you luck for your projects.
Interesting thread, personally, as long as the rim has these, I'm happy :
Buttons configuration (especially hardware ones) with double and long press actions.
Layers (or cmte, but I've read layers are lighter?) in order to have a nice dark ui.
Ram bar and close button on récents.
There are so many other things that can be useful like use volume rocker to answer call, flip phone to mute call, switch to 2g when connected to Wi-Fi, enable max brightness (with custom kernel) for few minutes when in sunlight, ambient display but not during night (I hate my phone to light up in the night if I try to reach a water bottle or a kleenex lol) or gestures like swipe up on screen of to turn on and unlock the phone.
But most of these things are possible using Tasker.
But if you ask me, there are so many different (and not so different) roms out there, that I think to get glory, a new one would maybe need some awesome exclusive apps like SMS, camera, or maybe just good optimizations.
The less features in a ROM - the more stable it is. That's why I prefer Stock or CM Stock ROMs. But, anyway, the most useful features in my opinion is:
1. Playback Control (Prev/Next track with Volume buttons) - any ROM without it is almost unusable for me. Taking the phone out of the pocket each time you want to skip a track is just unbearable.
2. Double-tap to sleep - if dt2w is present, than this is a must-have feature. Peaking at the phone without even touching the power button is quite useful sometimes.
3. Viper4Android - Yes, I understand that this is a completely opt-in feature but I found myself installing it every time on every phone. The sound is just not right without it anymore.
4. STOCK Dark Theme - for some reason, every other "dark" theme developer out there thinks that theming Phone, Google Play, Messenger and other apps is cool. No, its not and its usually a weak point of any theme, because when the app gets updated everything goes to hell. I will make my own dark theme someday in a spare time. Probably based on OOS theme, because this one was actually cool. At least Android N will deliver it built-in.
Would love to see EAP-SIM authentication for WiFi in a ROM. I've tried a few and some seem to support it but I always get an "authentication error" when I try to connect. (Living in Singapore and trying to connect to SingTel WiFi, if that's any help!) So yeah, EAP-SIM support would be awesome to see in a ROM. Thanks!
And all the best for AOKParadox!

See my AOKParadox thread. I will implement the stock dark theme at least until one based off of OOS becomes available.
All I want to see in a ROM is its ease of operation and to easily see the important details.
1. Status Bar - Accurate Network Speed Indicator, Dual Clock (timezone), Date (with day of the week) & Gestures such as double tap, slide and quickpulldown
2. Hardkeys & Tristate Keys - Action Assignment (screen off, screenshot, power menu, kill all apps, last app, etc.), Single Tap, Double Tap & Long Press
3. Lockscreen - Disable Power Menu
4. When Screen is Off - Double tap to wake & Music Controls gestures
5. Others - One-handed Keyboard Operation (i'm a lefty), Ram Usage Status in recent apps

I would agree with this, along with Layers support and multi-window functionality from Android N previews since we have the ram for it.
