[Q] personalize drag up bar/ quick access items?! - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it possible to personalize the drag up bar feature? e.g. with apps, functions and so on?
If you don't know what I'm talking about go to
Settings-->Homescreen-->Help-->Page 2 (on Vodafone Germany)
Thank you.

good question, BUMP

For me (Verizon) it's on page 5 of that help menu. I've seen it called "Drag Up", "Quick Access", and "Global Access". I really want to replace the S Voice with a flashlight toggle!

You can put a flashlight Widget on your Homescreen.

[Q] weird notification bar icon behaviour

In my HD2 when I try to fix my Home Layout/Main Home/Notification Bar, the SMS icon indicates message reception; but when I tap on it, it does not bring up the relevant message but opens the item "Word Mobile" ??
Any advice ???
I don't know what the heck word mobile is, but I know that you can go to Settings > Applications > Manage Apps> All > "Word Mobile" > Scroll down and "Clear Defaults" .. Next time when that icon appears and you hit it, choose messaging .
Thanks; it worked.
However I could not find Manage Apps, through your way but through the utility "CHT Editor"
In any case problem solved. Thanks again.
lol this thread is funny...
the OP was talking about WM6.5 and the only person to answer assumed the question was about Android

I would like to know the same thing. On my S2 (JB4.1) there is a menu option to disable this (System / Accessory / Audio Applications). They seem to have removed this option on the S4 - it's not on the Accessory options screen...
Could someone explain to me what the "recommended shortcuts (earphones)" actually is and where can I configure it? I like the idea, yet I'd like to configure it.
But I can't seem to find a setting or app. Is it really connected to a "Page buddy" app? I have no such app on my SGS4.

when you plug in earphones to ur galaxy u get a set of recommanded apps to run in the status bar i have it on my galaxy s2 but on my s3 can't find it
OK, I've worked out how to disable this.
The notification comes from com.android.pagebuddynotisvc, which is called PageBuddyNotiSvc in the application manager ('All' tab). You can disable this service, and the notification + shortcut icons in the dropdown menu will now not appear.
Thanks pennas, I also noticed the "PageBuddy" app meanwhile, should've looked more carefully in the first place.
It's not that annoying to me, but I just still don't understand what the benefit is, when I can't configure it. Because the apps showing also seem to change. Meh.

Its not a bug, it just shows your most frequently used apps.

Moto X touchless control hidden menu on Moto G

looking at some old news about "AppOps" i thought about looking with nova louncher in the create shortcut menu/activities and scrolling down to letter S i found "setup" and there "Always On voice" wich open a beautiful menu and a "Yes, I'm in" option
I really have no conclusion about this,there are more option on the "Settings" and "Setup" menu in the launcher, anyone interested should have a look at it (or even other apps)
and YES,i know about the X8 processor but this app leftover could mean something
or maybe some user exploring this menu might found something useful
@edit
There is also on "System UI" a lot of option related to usb,but i get access denied on them

openmic+ doesnt work properly for me [ already used a long time ago and a newer relase]
if i use google engine it will use a lot of data/wifi/battery
and the other engine doesn't recognize my hotword very well but in a normal conversation with friends turn my screen on for randon stuff [ really funny ]
so, my best option is using google GEL launcher

[Q] Icons missing from Galaxy S5!

I'm frustrated!
I want to edit the order of my "Quick Settings" in the Notification bar, but there is no icon (the pencil icon on the right side up) where it should be!
Also, when I press the "Options" button (the three squares) in the Settings page, most option are missing!
The only one that appears is 'List view' (to a total of 2 views - 'Grid view' and 'List view'), whereas the third view, the 'Edit quick settings' and the 'Help' options are missing!
I've got pictures to prove my point and help you see my problem but, unfortuately I can't post them here.
What is wrong? Is it because of the edition of the phone?

Depending on the device model and also the firmware version, there are some variation of the Settings menu. So I cannot realize what is your Settings menu structure.
You can open the S Finder and enter 'notification panel' to search.

Same thing happens. I sadly think it is because of the firmware, as you say, and there is nothing I can do about it.
Thanks for your reply, though!

What does that mean? Did you find this menu using S Finder?
If you cannot find this settings, here is another way:
Install Shortcut Master app, open Menu > Search > enter 'notificationpanelsetting' to search. Finally tap on the search result to open this settings.

Yes and, again, the notification panel had no pencil on the uppermost right corner. :/

I had high hopes for this (on my search on the Net, I found no solution like this) but, alas, the search came back with 0 results. Searched both 'notificationpanelsetting' and 'notificationpanelsettings', and 0 results for 'notificationpanel' as well!
edit:
Oooh! That's why I thought I recognised the name of the app creator - it was you! Nice job, btw!
Sorry, I have searched on my Note 3, not S5.
However the function may be missing because of different firmwares.
You can bypass this problem by flashing another firmware.

I have no idea what this sentence means!
So, I guess, I'll just have to get used to it...

[Q] How to add home button shortcut on status bar

Hi friends,How i can place home button shortcut on status bar?Thanks in advance

On original quicksettings, dunno.
With 3rd app, possible.
Google for an app that can put shortcuts in notification panel.
Add a shorcut/activity/"your home launcher"=>home activity.
That's one way to succeed.
One app I use is Power toggles from here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.painless.pc&hl=fr
Another solution is to install all in one gestures from here
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phoenixstudios.aiogestures&hl=fr_FR
Here you can set what you want in screen edges that you choose yourself.
I use it from ages, really great application.
Reply me if what I say is not clear enough.
Good luck
Franky
Thanks for the information.
Thanks for the useful information Sir.I installed it but i get another quick toggle window below the original one.

Use reply if you want a quick response
Yep, that's why it's for.
Here you choose shorcuts of:
- app you want
- activity you want (here, your launcher's home activity)
- and more options...
If you don't like this solution, choose the second one
My pleasure
Franky
