Pull down menu directly into settings - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey, in most other KK roms you have an option that the pull down menu goes immidiatly to settings if pulled from the right.
in sony FW it's only available if you use two fingers, but using the right corner of the screen is far more comftarble than two fingers, did anyone found out how and if this can be changed? i tried gravitybox for KK and it didn't work...

Thanks for the 2 finger mention, I didn't know that and I really like it.
In response to your question, gravity box does not work on 4.4 anyway (Breaks volume buttons) and it is unlikely to be fixed by the dev of GB.
I am sure there is a mod for it in the Home.apk, someone will look into it.

If you pull down from the right side of the screen you'll go the quick settings right away, if you pull from the left it goes to the notifications.
You have to put your finger on the screen right away, not pull down from the bezel down (in that case it works if you pause when the pulldown menu starts showing. The 'glow' initially is at notifications but goes to 'quick settings' after a very short time. Then continue the pulldown.
But as mentioned if you start the pulldown on the top of the screen itself you'll immediately see the glow at the quicksettings if you start at the right.
Hope this is clear
ps. sucky about gravitybox messing up the volume buttons btw, hadn't noticed that yet but you're right. Launcher crashes :/ Too bad as I use various mods of it (rescaling navigation bar, advanced power menu...). Hope a fix will be there soon.

Use Xblast module for those mods, they work fine

Hmmm, that's strange... Works fine here. I'll see if I can make a screencapture-vid to clear it up a bit.
Xblast works fine indeed btw, thanks for the tip!

That's also my idea. Until I have installed Xposed it worked that way. Now with Xposed it doesn't. But if you keep your finger on top of the battery while sliding down you are able to switch while sliding down. Got to get used to it.

This works for me
Just pause until the 'Quick settings' tab goes white (is selected) and then continue to slide down.

That was indeed part of what I was trying to say, but in my case it immediately goes white/selected (and thus to the quick settings) when I start swiping from the statusbar on the right side of the screen (not completely right, say where the 'quick settings' words are)..

You are right - it changes very fast and after a few tries you are able to almost in one swipe.

[Q] Display going bad or...?

Last night I noticed this in top right corner of my sgs but it's only in task manager. In menu or other apps there isn't this thing or I don't know how to call it. I'm sure that few days ago everything was fine.
Thats telling you that there are more options along the top menu bar! Swipe with your finger to drag the bar over and reveal them!

Hidden soft buttons!!

I saw once an app/mod that hides the soft buttons and you can get access to them by swiping your finger from the bottom of the screen upwards, much like the quick controls on Android browser, it seems very cool, any way to get it working on our XZ?? :fingers-crossed:

- If you, like me, get annoyed by the soft-buttons at the bottom of the page staying there far too much, there is a way to get rid of them. Download and install Button Saviour, then grab the FullScreenToggle apk from this thread, and Bob’s your slightly-better-endowed-with-screen-real-estate uncle.

Exactly, fullscreen toggle + buttonsavior. I even concealed status bar and get instead some battery widget and phone signal widget etc. Absolutely full screen lol. I use RomAur 1.3.2.
I use the LMT with the fullscreen apk, so that you can get the PIE controls! When I swipe up from the bottom, I get all the controls I need, and it's very intuitive! More screen real estate! :good:
Great share, thanks guys!
Just using the fullscreen app and it works great, playing ScummVM is so much better now.
Kind regards, Stefan.

[Q] [Team Venom ViperOne 1.0.0] Scrolling problem in Vertical Quicksettings

Hello. I am using HTC One (international) with ViperOne 1.0.0. I have a scrolling problem when I am at the vertical quick settings (not the native one) where after I scroll all the way down to NFC, and lift my finger off, I could not scroll upwards, not even after I close the notification and open the vertical quick settings again. This means that the first option I could see is Airplane Mode and anything in front of that (i.e. Media Volume, Flashlight, and Rotation) cannot be accessed because I could not scroll upwards.
However the phone does detect the action of scrolling downwards even when I am already seeing the last item (NFC) because I see the "bar" that appears on the far right when I try to scroll downwards.
The current solution that I can find is to reset the status bar using Venom Tweaks so that when I am viewing the vertical quick settings, I come back to the top of the list (Media Volume).
The most intriguing part of the problem is that if I just keep scrolling up and down, I won't get stuck like what I have described in the first paragraph. Only when I scroll to the very bottom and lift my finger off the screen does the problem occur again.
Is there a bug in the rom or is this only my problem?
Thank you very much.
I don't have this prob.
But i have only some Vertical EQS, because i removed some of this
Maybe try to remove something

Oh maybe that's another "solution", but if there's really a problem like that then removing items means not having it solved.
Would you mind trying to add a few items back and see if you have the same problem, so that the developer would know and might fix it in the next version.
Anyway, I've taken your advice and I'm fine with fewer (but less used) options to avoid the problem for now.
Thank you very much!

Question about Chrome gesture?

So I'm not sure it was a gesture or if it's even limited to Chrome. But I was messing around with the screenshot gesture and my chrome turned into a small window. It had a little bar across the top you could close completely, or full screen, and even the dots to resize the window.
How do I use this again? I can't figure out how to make it work again.. lol.
Thanks!

I believe what you're looking for is dragging down from the top left or right corner. This should shrink down the app you're looking at where you can then go back to full screen mode, move around the shrunken size, or pop it into a bubble form.

how to get rid of the rotation button

Hey ppl
Anyone noticed this ugly button?
I press it several times by accident. The only way to deal with is to enable the navigation bar (the button will then be displayed inside of it).
Is there a wax to remove it completely?
Thanks

I personally love that button I believe this is a Pie feature, it lets you rotate your phone on command instead of it automatically rotating. To turn that off simply make sure Auto Rotate is turned on in the Quick Settings toggles.
yeah but i dont want autorotate at all. i hate it even^^
I don't have this button and I'm actually interested
What do you set on to have it?

Turn off auto rotate, and Pie will show it whenever it detects your phone has rotated.

That tiny little unobtrusive button only appears when you have auto rotate turned off AND you rotate your phone. It should not appear during normal use. And it goes away after a few seconds if you don't press it.

I understand what you're asking. But it's not possible. And again the button goes away after a few seconds.
Root and install something other than One UI. Although saying that, I don't remember seeing this rotate button while running several of the different custom One UI roms, can double check if you want.

Maybe you've figured this out already but from the notification panel of you click on the word "Portrait" under the auto-rotate icon it'll bring to additional settings an be you can turn it off from there

Pull down the notification panel, locate the portrait/ auto rotate button, press the text and disable the "Rotate button on navigation bar"
