I just discovered that Android 7.x Nougat allows third party apps to add own icons/buttons to the list of available quick settings icons/buttons by specifying them in manifest file, but I don't know details, any idea? Tips? Links to read?
Does a quick setting icon require a "complete" app to work, or does it rely only on some kind of a link to a system feature? For example, if I want to add a new icon to toggle WiFi, would it be enough to create a dummy app with a manifest which points to WiFi enabling, or would I need to manually write the code to enable Wifi?

Hey everyone
i've been compiling my own .apk's for my own personal use with LauncherPro today, using icon packs i've found throughout the XDA Forums
I've had some issues trying to figure out what the correct way to go about naming the files for the Dialer and the Contacts icon
They both pretty much go to the same app, just a different tab within that app.
IF someone could provide me with the proper filename or even just the activity name, or a method of finding out which process / activity it is that i need for the different icons, especially for the Dialer icon and the Contacts icon, that would be great!
Since Jellybean 4.1, Google added expanded notifications.
I wanna know how to manually add options to expanded notifications. I basically wanna do this with the default email app.
I want a quick option to move an email to a particular folder. Moving emails is available within the app, I just wanna port it to be a part of the expanded notifications.
Can anyone help me on this?
Thanks.
Anyone?
I'm not a dev but you can Google how to make those expandable notifications and decompile the app with apktool and change the app... That's an option

Thanks for the suggestion.
That was the first thing I did but the methods I got were by modifying to the code, and that's not possible to edit by just decompiling the APK.
But I know it's possible by just decompilation because many ROMs used custom Gapps with manually added expanded notification options.
So anyone?
Hello, I want to use a different app than the one that is assigned to one of those shortcuts on the lockscreen but when I go through the list of possible apps there are just a few and not a single one that I would like to use.
For example, the lockscreen shortcut change option offers me only one dialer app to assign to the shortcut eventhough i use an entirely different one and there is no other apps browser, which would let me see/choose more apps.
Is there any way how to change the shortcut to whatever app I want?
Nevermind, found out how to do it. I had to re-install CM because of a different issue and now when I choose ,,Apps'' it finally shows me more apps I can choose from, that thing didn't do anything before.
Intro
I've needed just a good physical keyboard from my YogaBook, so no smart features or wacky touchpal's behavior (layout switching on multilingual keyboard).
After some research I've came to a solution and made an apk:
YogaBook Holo Keyboard
This application will turn your Holo Keyboard into usual physical keyboard (no touchpal, no smart input, etc).
It will allow you to type faster (cause of lack of smart features), and to switch to another layouts with custom shortcuts.
It comes with movable floating notification with current keyboard layout.
No root required.
Notice
IT IS NOT A VIRTUAL KEYBOARD!
You need to switch to other input method (swift keyboard, gboard, etc) to use virtual keyboard.
This only will work on Lenovo Yoga Book YB1 with Android onboard.
It was tested on YB1-X90L with Nougat 7.1.1 (software version: YB-X90L_171013) but it should also work on F version and older android (probably).
Features
Switch to different layout (supported by holo keyboard)
Customize some shortcuts
Floating notification with current layout
Switching modes: Global or Per application
No touchal (it is just plain physical keyboard now)
No root required
Installation
Download and check MD5 checksum of the latest build (use link or download it from the attachments) (MD5: 39b36e2fab27de1e74d97e19eae157e0)
Enable installation from Unknown sources (Settings -> Security -> Unknown sources)
Upload apk to your tablet and install
Go to Settings -> Languages & input -> Virtual keyboard -> Manage keyboards
Enable YogaBook Holo Keyboard and go back
Tap on the YogaBook Holo Keyboard entry to open Settings
Add layouts that you need by clicking Add layout button (you can reoder them later or remove)
Go to Nofications and enable Floating Notification (you will be prompted to give it some permissions (to draw over other apps))
When notification will appear in bottom-left corner you can move it to any desired location by touch-and-drag it.
Go to Shortcuts and make sure, that your configuration is correct
Switch to YogaBook Holo Keyboard input method (i.e. by pressing F10)
Enjoy!
Additional information
Available layouts were decompiled from firmware, so that list may be wrong or incomplete for some layouts.
Not all shortcuts will work due to Lenovo's code (i.e. ctrl+space, some specific keys, etc). Maybe i will make some workarounds, but you shouldn't rely on this.
Future Plans
Add custom shortcuts for different actions (open an app, etc)
Clean up code
P.S.
Feel free to post any bugs or proposals here (there is a chance that i will made some into app)

Amazing, Keep this great work up
Hello,
As the title says, anyone know how to do that?
For example to add an NFC on/off switch or at least a shortcut to the NFC settings.
I suspect something like Tasker could do that?
Use adb shell, then:
Code:
$ settings put secure sysui_qs_tiles "<TILE>,$(settings get secure sysui_qs_tiles)"
where <TILE> is the codename of the tile which you want to add, e.g. 'wifi' or 'cell' or 'alarm' ...
For NFC specifically, I tried to add NFC tile with 'nfc' ... however, does not work !
I'm sure this worked on Android 11 but does not seem to work on Android 12.

I use this app to add custom QS tiles. It's really quite a good app for this, imo.
