Is it possible to get back the AOSP-style separate quick settings panel (two finger swipe down for settings, nothing but notifications in the notification panel)?

bump, anyone?
so far i've tried gravitybox and g3 tweaks box with no luck
Seems the answer is not yet. Will be nice once development starts happening for this phone. Tweakbox handles most of it but the quick settings are annoying.

Probably never (and good riddance). Once L drops, it's all on one panel.

One thing I definitely miss on SGS3 coming from SGS1 and SGS2 was the ability to change the brightness setting from from the top of the notification bar. You were able to slide your finger left to right and be able to change the screen brightness.
I found an app called Display brightness that can do something similar and thought I'd share as I am sure a few of you might also miss the old feature. You can set a screen brightness slider anywhere on the screen and change its transparency. It works a treat to be able to change brightness quickly and efficiently.
Here is the link on Google Play if you want to check it out

Gonna check it out, thanks
Holy crap that is awesome! Works on AT&T gs3. Thank you so much for pointing this out. Have to play with where I want it tho because it can interfere with the keyboard

Yeah its the best I've been able to find so far. Not sure why Sammy removed it from this phone but the app works. Finding a good spot to place it is key

Feel kinda dumb right now, I see the indicator but how do I actually change the brightness?
Edit: I guess the bar was too thin. Once I made it thicker I was able to adjust it. Thanks guys
International version just got an OTA update that includes a brightness slider in the notification pull down. As well as adjustments to the minimum brightness for auto brightness
just tried this, and it is pretty awesome!
If you set all the transparencies to 0%, it works exactly like the stock s2 slider...except you can put this on any side you want. The key is figuring out where exactly to slide your fingers to get it to work consistently, but once you do its pretty awesome.
AAAA+++ Sweet!
very nice find. Works perfect.

Glad a few of you are finding it useful ! I still wish Samsung didn't remove it and not sure why they did. Every now and then I hit the brightness line by accident so I might try and put it in a different area of the screen to see which is the best place. That's the only tricky part. It is a nice app though as an alternative.

Hopefully we get it in us versions of the international just got an update with the feature back on the notification, maybe they forgot about it
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
Oh nice I didn't know that. I had the international for a week until I sold to try the LTE and just know it wasn't there on either. Also on my sgs2 one of the newer firmwares removed it as well a figured it was intentional and too much trouble to add it. I hope you're right

Can anyone confirm if the OTA updates on some of the American carriers added the brightness slider in notification bar like the update did on i9300? Or did the update only remove universal search ?

there is actually already code in the tw_status_bar_extended.xml for this. it just isn't active. i noticed it when i was poking around there for my theme.
Just download notification toggles app free from the market it has a ton of options. Will solve the brightness toggle issue plus you can add short cuts to apps, reboot menu and a bunch more.

Awesome app! I almost hope that the brightness slider doesn't get added to the notifications window...there's already a lot up there.
It seems some on i9300 forums are not liking the brightness slider added in a release and some are requesting devs to remove from roms. I'll keep this app for now as I think its great

I dont believe its actually on the pulldown.. in previous tw versions you just slide across the status bar to the right to go up and down.. i may be wrong about the new brightness alider though.

This is really great. It's really convenient to set all the transparency settings to "0%" and hiding the slider at the bottom of the homescreen - just slide above the home button to adjust the brightness!
Edit: It works on the lockscreen too - wow!
I recently got a gs4 for T-Mobile US. I've noticed that in the notification pane all the settings are there except for turning mobile data on/off. Is there a way to add it like the other gs4's? And no,its not there even under the expanded view.

No. Custom roms only. Maybe theres an app that can have it as a permanent notification toggle but that's ur only hope.

If anyones tried this and hasn't in a while give it a go again ............ Updated 5.29......... copy and pasted from op First things first. This is NOT Halo. There are no popups of the app and nor will there ever be. If that is what you are after download Paranoid Android for your phone and enjoy
With that out of the way, this is Floating Notifications  (Thanks to FineTalent for the icon )
Alpha 2 - > 3 requires a CLEAN INSTALL, 3 - > 4 should not
Theme's can be found in this thread - Themes for Alpha 2 will not work with Alpha 3+ (most have been updated though)
YouTube Video
How does it work
- Setup your settings in the UI.
- Then go to your System Settings -> Accessibility -> Floating Notifications - Turn it on
Controls
- Tap to open the stack
- Tap the current notification to close the stack
- Tap the text of a notification to launch that app
- Drag the first notification in the stack to move around the screen
- Double tap to close a notification
- Double tap a closed stack to close all notifications
App List Buttons
- Long press any of the buttons in the app list (once you have enabled them by checking that app) and you'll get an explanation on what they do (happy to change the explanations if anyone has a more concise or simpler explanation)
Sensitivity
- The double tap threshold refers to the amount of time in milliseconds between taps. So if you set it to 1000 it will wait one second for your second tap before it brings up the text.
Known Bugs (Please do not report these, I'm working on them )
- 2.2 - 3.0 devices - You can only tap the first notification (You'll have to clear the first to get to the second for the moment - Sorry)
- Bubble jumps when on right side of screen
- Whatsapp expanded only shows the first message - everything after will say "new message from x" - Fixed in Beta
- If using on the lockscreen when you turn your screen on but the phone is still locked, instead of the usual screen timeout of 10 - 40 seconds (depending on device) it'll instead use your normal display timeout (the one you set in your display settings)
- Brightness apps won't work with FN
- Missed calls don't show up for most ROM's
- You may get a notification with no text - if you get this scroll it and the text will appear - 99% sure this is fixed
- Slight margin on the right side
Issues which can not be fixed
- Google Now notifications do not appear in this app
- Kik Messenger notifications do not appear in this app
- Sometimes clicking the notification text the app doesn't launch for a few seconds
- Notifications will not disappear from your notification bar as this is not something that can be done. However if you open the an app the floating notification for that app will automatically close. (Not a bug but worth noting)
- Sense 5.0 has a bug which means when any accessibility service is enabled the lockscreen unlocks with any touch, there are fixes in custom roms I believe
If you receive no notifications
Do you have other accessibility services enabled? If so disable them, enable Floating Notifications, then re enable them.
My phone has started reading to me
If you're on a Samsung device see here for a variety of possible fixes (This is a Samsung bug) - https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23105
If you're not then ensure TalkBack is disabled, preferably uninstall/freeze it if you don't use it
To be added (or being considered)
- Dock at the side of the screen (half off screen like Halo)
- Quick replies
- Ability to toggle each animation on or off
- Get expanded text for certain apps - Whatsapp messages
- Show over locksceeen
- Screen turn on for notification
I'll be posting regular progress updates to the thread but for those who want to follow elsewhere I'll also be posting progress updates to Twitter, G+ and Facebook. The APK however will only remain in this thread (until we hit beta).

So I just bought me a quick circle case and can't get it to work for the life of me . I have the quick circle option turned on under smart functions but when I close my case the screen doesn't go off. When I open it it doesn't wake and when I double tap the circle area with it closed I can't swipe to change clocks or anything. Any help would be great

Check if you turn on Qiuck cirkle option under the ...settings/general/quick cirkle case.

Whilst we wait for the OP to come back ~ what about the 'Settings' option. Men is greyed out not allowing me to tick Settings.
Also, anyone else notice you can only select 'Messaging' when using the default text app. If you have any other SMS/Text app as default it then greys out 'Messaging'.
I got it figured out. I'm using a knockoff circle case and it didn't have the magnet to activate it.
Also have the problem of the quick circle settings greyed out so cant change clock faces but quick circle is working fine other than that
So I thought I saw something about this somewhere but can't find it wasn't in this forum no search hits or not searching right.
If I draw an arch from the bottom left of screen to bottom right or the other way around I get another menu with a few options. Right now it's set for Amazon and Accuweather. How do I change what's available on that menu?
I can't capture in screen shot.
never mind it's called Ring Pad and I have mine tweaked with G3 Tweaks.
How did you enable that? Is it as add on?

I have that coming up too but I don't have Tweaksbox anymore. It's probably a toggle I set with it which stayed after uninstalling tweaksbox. It must be one of the secret settings the blogs have been talking about lately.
