[TIP]- How to get custom notification toggles without root or flashing.

Hello peeps.. so I decided to share a nice trick that has been working amazingly well for me. If you want to add things like flash light.. mobile data...brightness control to your notification area head on over to the play store and get Notification Toggle. Let's you customize whichever toggles you'd like. Also let's you download and change the icons to each toggle.. really fresh and I have been rocking it for a while with no issues. For those who don't know about this app.. knock yourself out!!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.notificationToggle
Here is a screenie of my set up.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Brightness..flashlight...data...shortcut to battery stats.
All credit goes to j4velin for developing a very useful app. I am just supporting and sharing something dope

Great find! Installed it and works great. How did you change the icon size to that small?

Within the app go to "download alternative icons" and download the icon Downloader app that it directs you to in the playstore. Download the ics icons and bam!

Okay i noticed a small problem. You know for using notification toggle you need to enable it under accessibility settings. Some how this is partly turning on the talk back accessibility service. When you pinch to collapse home screens or apps in drawer, it starts talking. Anyone else having this problem?
Sent from my SGH-T999

Turn talk back off. its right above the notification toggle on/off switch. You might have turned it on accidently.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Talk back is turned off, that's the first thing i checked. The talk back happens only when pinching home screen and app drawer. If talk back is on it talks for every screen touch any where, which is not happening.
Sent from my SGH-T999

I have the same problem. Turn off toggle notification in the accessibility section. It will still work just won't stay on top in the ongoing notification section. But all other notifications won't. Not a big deal to me...talk back was really irritating.
Check out my screen shot.

Between this and FoxFi (free tethering w/o root) I'm beginning to think this might be the first phone I've had in a while that I don't feel compelled to root to fix its shortcomings.

I'm in the same boat... I've had the phone for two weeks now and haven't even considered rooting it. My wife even told me last night, "I'm surprised you haven't rooted your phone." nova takes care of touchwiz and the bloat doesn't even bother me.

[APP] Serious Button Light Control[root]

Herro.
I made for you today, a nice nifty wittle app to better control your buttons lights. Simply set an ambient light value that you wish to have the lights come on. When you turn on your screen, the app will read the ambient light levels and compare it to what you have entered.
If the value that you entered is lower than the value being read, it will turn off the lights for you are in a bright enough area where they arent needed.
Once you go into a place that has a darker area where the light levels are lower than your entered level. They will come on for you and stay on until you turn off the screen.
Required:
1. YOU MUST HAVE ROOT
2. A beautiful Galaxy S 3 <3 (May work on other devices if the kernel supports is)
3. A finger which likes to click the like button. (not really)
Simply download attached apk to your phone and use any file manager to install it. Enjoy.

I know I had a couple as well.I think I need to bind the service to the activity to keep androids from destroying it.(That's what I believe is the issue) but you just have to restart it if it force closes.
It's definitely something with the screen monitoring service.I made one that just monitors screen of and on broadcasts and that one still force closes on me and there is nothing obvious in the logcat.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2

About the force closes, I've only had them happen right after waking my device. (And then it would crash again because android is trying to start it again) but I noticed it robot crashed on screen wake
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2

On my device it FC's but it keeps working. It's odd but working fine besides that. It takes about a minute for it to take effect after I first draft the app.
I must say it does make my S3 look a lot sleeker with those lights off.
Thanks so much for it.

Yeah the app doesn't control the brightness of the button lights, it just shuts them off when you are in an area that is brighter then your entered value and turns them on again when you go to a dark area. No need to be sorry man!

When I saved this file, it was saved as a zip not apk. When I went into recovery it won't flash the zip. How do I install this then?
Nevermmind, I just renamed it to apk .

I figured out what's causing the force close. Will have update shortly

Red light... IR or Proximity Sensor?

I have an AT&T Galaxy S3, the I747, which is currently running the 5/10 build of PAC-Man, the 5/9 build of the KT747 kernel, and task650's 5/8 gapps. I dropped it about a month and a half ago, shattered the screen, and had to replace it. A quirk to this is that I had to replace it with a screen from a Sprint Galaxy S3, the L710. After I replaced the screen, on Friday, I flashed to the stuff I'm running right now. Yesterday (Sunday), I noticed that the sensor directly to the right of the front-facing speaker is lit up with a very faint red color at all times while my phone is on. I have done a little searching, and from what I can find, everyone is attributing this to Viber, which I don't use.
It's this one:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
My proximity sensor and light sensor are working fine still, but my main concerns are battery life and longevity. Is this light being on going to either hurt my sensor in the long run or create unnecessary drain on my battery, and if either is the case, what do I do about it?

I noticed mine was on one day while i was in bed, just rebooted and haven't had it since. I don't see why it would need to read data from the proximity sensor unless your on a call or so it shouldn't drain battery . if your in the SMS app then it might be using it for direct dial but I'm not sure if you have that feature in pacman

I don't have that feature, but it doesn't matter which app I'm in, or even if my screen is on or not. The red light is on all the time if my phone is on at all.

Any ideas for a probable culprit?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

Try a program called greenify. It will tell you which programs are causing wake locks and what is using the most battery.

Hi, I used to have Viber installed, until I noticed that dot I didn't relate it. It made me panic so I went through my apps 1 by 1 and found viber to be the one keeping it always on even when its not running. If you don't have Viber, go to your installed apps page, go to downloaded tab and force close each one. If the red dot is persistent then its another app. Keep going until its gone and you'll find the culprit.
Have a good day.

Wakelocks

Dude read posts.
Turn off any notifications like Tapatalk, Facebook, etc...
Google settings like location services.
Learn hpw to manage apps and close them out properly. Every once in a while I'll go through TouchWiz Manager and end all apps even though I know some of the apps I haven't even opened or they might just still been opened up.
Like I said your maps app is taking location which kills your battery faster.
Your email app is probably on auto sync which means it's constantly syncing itself constantly on a connection that is constantly getting information back and forth hence killing your battery.
Beautiful widgets if that is also on auto sync which means it's taking your connection again and constantly syncing for info and data.

Not at all. Its not too much of a big deal I mean I just still go into my email app and just hit refresh just to see if there's anything new and is much better for battery life than having to be on auto sync because Its not constantly having to sync every second.

Connect to wifi, or disable sync. Pretty sure turning off sync doesn't stop Hangouts from working, though.

There a couple things you can try.
1) Disable wifi network location in system settings > location. Wording can be different depending on the ROM.
2) Ensure all Google apps are on the /data partition. This way you can Greenify them. Maps is really bad about running when it isn't supposed to be. These can all be obtained from the play store, and have no business being on the system partition in any custom ROM.
3) After you do that, open Maps, go to Settings > Location settings. Make sure everything is disabled.
