On 4.2, is there anyway to have the new toggles on the SAME page as the notifications page? I hate having to pull down notification, click toggles button (upper right) and then hit my toggles. One more click is already too much! It's cleaner, but more annoying to use
Example: I like to adjust my screen brightness often but it's such a hassle to switch brightness using the 4.2 toggles.
Pull notification >> Switch to Toggles page >> Bit Brightness toggle >> Adjust brightness.
Before with AOKP's JB M1, I can just pull notification and adjust as needed.
Your help appreciated!

Well that's not built into AOSP, however, one swipe and a tap isn't exactly asking too much on your part.

The CM team said they'll implement those alongside the regular AOSP implementation in their ROM

My girlfriend has a galaxy s and in the pull down notification bar there is power control buttons for bluetooth, wifif etc. Can we get this sort of functionality on the desire?
I think there are enough things on the pull down bar already. I find the power control widget already on the phone to be a great tool.

i just find it clogs up home screens, would be great if the power control bar could be integrated into the pull down notification area. Replace the carrier name and you wouldn't be adding any more to it
There is an app called bar control that does this I use it for WiFi and location switches so I don't have to leave a page

quickdesk doesnt have many functions, cant turn things on/off just takes you through to the settings. Was looking for something like extended controls but the buttons are in the notification bar when you pull it down.

Err, add widgets or shortcuts to it? Not all that difficult. Search the market for widget toggles you want, WiFi, gps etc then just add them to quickdesk. Sorted.

Anyone have a link to a tutorial or something where I can learn how to make my softkeys transparent? Maybe some with a 50% opacity? Thanks in advance for any help! And yes, I searched...

Have you seen the new Ubuntu Phone demo? It would be great if we had gestures like that on 4.2.1, too. No more softkeys, just pure gesture control

Sure did. It looks nice, but we'll see how polished it becomes. Android has come a long way.
That's what I think, but it seems that under to get them it will be a hard Work

Bump...
I am surprised, this hasn't been done.... I am too looking into this.
I use FullScreen Toggle to disable the Nav Bar (there is also an option for that in the AOKP-roms) and GMD Gesture Control from the Market to create gestures for the missing buttons.
For the back-button I have a gesture that starts at bottom left and just goes up, for home I have one in the middle and so on. So you "swype" from below the display into the display on the positions where the buttons would normally be.
The settings: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kk2oiqk145z7olo/2013-01-04 18.43.54.png
An app which is doing the following would be good:
hiding the softkeys
with a gesture showing the softkeys for 10 Seconds or so and hide them again
all the other gesture apps just enable me to set a gesture for back home menu etc, but a gesture for hiding and showing the softkeys would be great
edit:
LMT is able to run a script via gesture:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330150
so it would be cool to have a script doing what i need, but i don't know how to create one

GMD Gesture can do gesture to hide and unhide the softkey. But is does not have any setting to automatic hide it after a few second.
This ROM brings the nexus 4 bottom toolbar. How do you hide this toolbar? Is taking realstate and it perform the same actions as the physical buttons.
Any idea?

Not sure of you can turn it off yet in settings.
You can use expanded desktop or wait for an official release. This beta is ported from the Nexus version (which doesn't have any physical buttons) which is why the Nav bar is in this ROM for now.

hold power button and click expanded desktop
In the PACMAN thread it states you can reduce the DPI of the Navbar to 0 in the Hybrid Settings - I tried it when I had it and that worked.
The ROM itself forced apps to have the 3-dot menu within the app UI itself - didn't like that too much. Anyone know how to get rid of that?
I'm running PAC-Man ROM and am thankful for the settings that allow me to use gestures (when the S Pen's button is held) but it's a huge pain to have to hold the button for these gestures. The button on the pen is too low on the pen for my liking when I'm trying to use it as a pointing device/extension of my hand.
A couple of ideas I have had:
-the input settings that I described earlier
-the Sidebar application. I would love it if I could access shortcuts through Sidebar that emulate the back and menu keys but unfortunately the only button that can be emulated is the home key!
-CM S Pen Add-on used in conjunction with Note Buddy. I like the idea here, but I'd like to know if there's a way to automatically activate the AOSP on-screen buttons when I detach the S-Pen, but Note Buddy doesn't seem to support any extensions.
Are there any other solutions you guys have come up with that allow me to use my Note in a practical way with ONLY the S-Pen? That means I don't want to have to take any fingers off of the pen or have to lift my other hand to press the menu and back buttons.
I use GMD SPen control & cant say enugh good things about it! It can do everything you are looking for (I think) I have it open lecture notes when I detach the pen, & simulate the home button when I attach it! But you can set up any user gestures you want!
Just bought the pro version...
Very nice application...
And it's running well on carbon 1.8..
Thank you....g

I'm not really willing to shell out $6 just yet... I'll have to do some more research!
I also found another method: use the ribbons feature built into PAC-Man ROM (not sure if it's an AOKP feature) in order to swipe out a tray from the right side of the screen that has the nav buttons in it. Still wish I could get the real navbar to display by default though!
Edit: Just remembered there's also PA Pie.
To add a navbar to ANY rom that doesnt have one..
open your buildprop (in /system)
scroll down to the bottom, and after the last line, add this line
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
save the changes, reboot the phone, and BOOM, you have a navbar..works on AOSP and TW roms..

Getting a navbar to display is not the issue. What's difficult is trying to get the navbar to display only when the pen is detached! :/

I have a tasker task to launch with the help of secure settings to hide the navigation bar when spen is attached and to show it when I de-attach the spen. Just take advantage of the expandable desktop function (and select it to only hide the nav bar when pen is inserted).
Works like a charm.

Are you referring to the "Expand desktop" option under Custom ROM Actions? That option has a red circle next to it for me, meaning that it is not supported by my ROM. :'(
Which rom are you on? Is it featured in your rom?
If so, you need to turn on expanded desktop and reboot. You might also need to make secure settings a device administrator.
For me, on SlimBean, it's a red circle at first too, but it turns green when following my steps above.
Try it out and report your progress.

The reboot worked! Can't believe I hadn't thought of that. xP
When you swipe down from the very top of the screen my old phone could adjust the brighness right away. In Note 7 i had to swipe twice to see the brightness bar and adjust it from there. Is there any options i can change so that i can access to the brightness bar with 1 swipe?
Nope no settings but you can try 1) 2 finger swipe will immediately show all the settings including brightness bar
Or 2) install Good Lock, Samsung alternative system.ui. that has the brightness bar at the top
Oh thats inconvenience... im so used to one swipe and change the brightness. I dont understand why samsung removed that from the one swipe menu.
I guess many ppl just leave it on auto and Samsung figures they can save some space on the pulldown notifications. Anyway I feel the auto brightness has gotten much better compared to older models.
there is an app that puts a brightness control in notification area, you can try that, look in playstore for it

Just swipe down a little more and 2nd part appears with brightness bar
Use Good Lock it makes the note 7 way better, it's made by samsung and you can find it on the galaxy app store
Thanks trying good lock now. I like it but I'm not seeing some options in the drop down toggles like blue light filter?

This has been frustrating me to the point where I tried a couple of alternative brightness tools, neither of which worked well. Thanks for the 2-finger tip!! You rock!
