[Q] Brightness adjustments by sliding the finger on the status bar. - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Hi,
Just wondering whether anybody here would be willing/able to port the EXCELLENT brightness adjustment feature from CM 10.1 - by sliding the finger on the status bar. I find this feature simply AMAZING and it should, in my opinion, be implemented in every Android iteration from now on.
Thanks!

Probably want to post this in the q&a section.

Brightness notification bar slider in any ROMs?

I have been really enjoying the ROMs developed by users (Team Whiskey, Devs4Android, etc) but the one thing I really miss is the notification bar brightness slider. I've been searching for a way to use this on the ROMs but have come up with nothing. Is this possible to do for the lay ROM loader or must the devs implement this? Perhaps I just missed discussion on the topic elsewhere.
Thanks!
::edit:: so I just figured it out. I guess that you just have to hold you finger in place over the notification bar for a while before sliding in the newer roms. I guess that saved from accidentally changing brightness. The more you know....
I'm on Nero v3 and its working for me.

Quik question (or two) for any MIUI users

Hi all,
Just switched from CM to MIUI and so far quite liking the change. There are a couple of features from CM which I am missing a little and wondered whether there were any mods for them:
Ability to change brightness quickly by pulling top bar down slightly and adjusting left and right. Is there a patch around for this?
Abilitiy to tweak auto-brightness levels
Any other tips about MIUI worth knowing?
Cheers,
MIchael
try changing your toggle settings to page instead of compact. As for tweaking the auto settings..not sure about that

cheers for the reply... should have been more specific. On CM (and my last phone - Galaxy S) it was possible to pull the notification bar down slightly and then drag left to right to adjust. Was always nice an easy to do when out and about in bright sunlight when you cant see anything on the screen.
a brightness slider in the notification bar? ive never seen this but im interested
i thought the button in the notification bar was the only option

what I am talking about isnt a visible slider... its quite hard to explain but is demonstrated in this vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgIaVNzwhjk . Its an option you can turn on somewhere in the CM settings
also, have found how to adjust auto-brightness levels in MIUI so ignore that request, just need to see if this brightness slider is possible.
Pull down the notification shade. If it is in page view, hit the backlight button. Once you hit the backlight button, a slider will appear on the bottom of the shade and you can adjust the brightness. It will be there any time you adjust the shade.
If your shade is in toggle view, put it in page view by hitting Settings>personal>toggle>page
Hope that helps
U can set max brightness by pressing together menu button and volume up
understand what you are asking for since I use CM a lot
but not available that way in MIUI yet
Actually, cyber, my slider don't even work

[Q] How to add move cursor with volume feature to any rom?

Hi!
In CNA rom I noticed a feature that you can move cursor with volume controls while in text box. That was just great, but its missing from Dark Knight's 4.0.4 that I'm using now. Is there any way to add just that feature to the rom by myself?
Another thing I'm missing is brightness adjustment from top/status bar. In Jetpack rom I could hold my finger in top row and move left/right to adjust the brightness of the screen really fast and easy. That was great, but cannot do it in Dark Knight's new rom.
All props and thanks to nasif619 tho. This Dark Knight 4.0.4 rom is just rocking!

I think it can do now (correct me if I'm wrong). Most of rom with ICS 4.0.4 has a notification bar with brightness control.
But for Volume control I have no idea too. I myself also search for people who can help me with volume adjustment on call since it is too loud like I open speaker when I make a call

Dynamic colors for ambient display headers

Don't know if this is at all possible now, but does anyone remember when Android N-ify came out? One of the features I loved about using it was the way that the headers in ambient display would keep the color of the corresponding app while the rest of the screen was black. It really helped me at a glance to know what the notification was about without having to pick it up, not to mention how cool it looked.
I had hoped that this feature would have been apart of nougat but it wasn't and it seems that no custom ROM to date has tried or been able to incorporate this into their ROMs
I guess what I'm asking is if there's a way to bring this feature back to give those ROMs and our device a bit more flare?

Lockscreen / Ambient Display - Matching Clocks (a simple aesthetic request)

Dear OnePlus. I love my 6t, there is very little to complain about it. However, can we please have matching clocks to choose from for both the lockscreen and the ambient display?
Right now, single tap to wake ambient display, displays a clock and date of your choosing, nice and dim. Then if you double tap to wake or hit power to get to the lockscreen, the clock and date jump to a different style and the screen brightens. It's a harsh and awkward thing to look at.
Having the clocks be the same, or having a lockscreen style clock to choose from for ambient would look nicer. Single tap, dim clock, lockscreen, bright clock. No jumping around on screen, smooth transition.
Another alternative would be having the ability to remove the lockscreen clock all together. So you can choose the nice OnePlus clocks for your ambient display, and just have a simple lockscreen with no clock.
Thank you for your consideration.
I just wish they'd give an option to remove the leading zero on the ambient display clock.
Dear @EBeatFLA,
Maybe if you post this in the OnePlus Forums using the Community Feedback app, they might see it and possibly consider it.

Thank you for the suggestion. But I did that already before posting here. I'm just opening a topic for discussion that I didn't see anyone discussing already.
If you agree with my idea, then please follow up on it. I'm sure you can find it.
