Hi everyone!
I'm excited to see if we get that precious Android L update on our phones, obviously we all want it running in our devices. And I asume you all have seen the new look of Android L in some "review" on youtube, or maybe you just saw some screenshots of it around the web.
Despite the fact it looks beautiful with Material Design, I was missing some features that, hopefully, I wish they get implemented on the final build of Android Lollipop (surely that will be its name! )
Here is the list.
* Colorizing navigation bar
As we see everywhere, notification bar will be colorizing with every app according to Material Design, but navigation bar seems to stay with black as we see today on KitKat. Hopefully that will change in the future.
* "Clear all notifications" button
We got very used to that magic button that clears all the notifications, when we got a ton of those notifications, that is very useful. But in L preview, that button is missing. Thats another detail I hope to see in final build.
* "Close all apps" button on multitasking screen
L introduces a revamped multitask screen, and now those "cards" got an X button to close one by one, but again, if we have a ton of recent apps, it will be difficult to close them all at once.
* Battery percentage on Quick Settings
One of the goodness introduced since Jelly Bean 4.2 is the Battery tile on quick settings where you can see your battery status, but in L preview that feature is missing. I mean, there is a lot of space to put a simple "65%" text next to the battery icon, isn't it?
See this old leaked screenshot that has battery percentagge: (taken from here)
* Decide which tiles will be on Quick Settings panel
Personally, that wil be very useful, since I'll never use that Cast Screen option and it will be great to change it and replace it with something else.
* WiFi, Bluetooth and Data toggles within Settings
Here in KitKat when you enter Settings you can instantly turn on Wifi without dragging the notification bar and pressing the Quick Settings button. But in L you'll have to enter WiFi menu to turn it on... It will be great to have it like we already have on KitKat, something like this by default:
* Colorizing Overscroll
If overscroll also gets the main app kinda color it will be more elegant, in addition to the new abbility to follow your finger when you drag it all over the screen.
* Built-in call recorder and screen recorder without PC
That obviously will be useful for us!
* "Always awake" option in Settings > Display > Sleep
* Built-in Multiwindow feature
* Different icons on lockscreen
I dont know why but I hate that Lock icon, I'd preffer it to be like the one on KitKat, filled with white color.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know all of this features may be added and included on CyanogenMod12 roms, but it will deffinitely great to have those features on stock AOSP!!!!
Can you think of any other feature you like to see on Android L?? :victory:
Xposed +gravity box +other modules, does all that and much more than that ...
If android L version is just those simple things...

Some guys reported trouble during unlocking bootloaders and rooting, etc. It would be great to have all this features WITHOUT even unlocking bootloader, you know?
No big deal... Let's hope that this new L brings some very good and useful functions, not only those simple mimics that we already have on kitkat!
Also in nexus Android L preview builds its says LMP not Android L. Which means its Lemon Maguire Pie or something like that!
It will rock!
Once we get ROMs like Carbon merging Android L, it will be the perfect balance of beauty and customisation!
As if you gonna send this wishlist to Google.... LOL :laugh:
And even if somehow you manage to send it, Google gonna take it seriously and fulfill it...

I started to code a small widget collection to make good use of the nice HTC Desire flash led as flashlight and more...
At the moment only one App Widget is ready for testing, more widgets and configuration options are in the works.
(also works on standard ROMs, no root required)
If someone wants to give it a try:
While in configuration the led is on so you can check how bright your choosen level is.

WARNING: Be carefull about long time operation on all but the lowest brightness level as overheating may kill your led
*Changelog*
- fixed problem with non-functional widget on screen rotate or HTC scene change
- Added haptic feedback/vibrate option to widget configuration
- Widget options now persistent
- Reset widget on Power-/Screen-Off
- Added configuration activity to control torch brightness
- Added a HTC widget style version
*Known issues*
- HTC kernel needed with Froyo-ROMs (e.g. LeeDroid)
regards
I'm liking it so far, the simple on off from the widget is preferable to a program. Thanks f3d0r
Brilliant. Simple. To the point.
Is it possible to do another widget (different program) that does the LED light at FULL power ?
Thanks.
I like the idea. I don't like the icon. And could be brighter?
Screens...
I tweaked the icon a little bit by adding some padding, more sophisticated icons may be following
Does this app require a rooted desire or will it work on any old desire?
UPDATE: Tested it out on my unrooted desire and works fine . Awesome app been looking for one for since i got the desire, i tend to lose things hehe....
A small comment on the request for more brightness:
In full-power/flash mode the led would overheat quickly without extensive cooling (which the desire lacks for sure). The rsult would be a dead led in very short time.
However, a "Boost" widget which switches the led to full power mode for a few seconds will be added next.
I'm keeping this version, I like the slightly larger icon and I dont need a boost
thanks again
and again x
I love the widget as it is, thanks!
Very nice, love it - will it be released on the market?
added to the desire app ref thread here

In fact the Widget does not request any permissions in it's manifest but this seems to be an issue of android backward compatibility:
code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4101
However, as we don't need this I have fixed the issue by specifying a Min SDK requirement in already updated APK.
regards
+1 for anything that makes it brighter and also Strobe effect ... etc etc.
Thanks
Excellent work
The Widget works well. Maybe make a way to lock screen when you turn it on so you don't accidentally hit other stuff when you're using the light. When I use a light I am usually not paying attention to what I am hitting on the screen. lol.
How did you get screenshots of your phone with Android? I haven't seen any apps that let you do it without root access.

working great, thanks man
Nice "new" widget style !
That would be sweet. Pretty much the only feature of my long gone jailbroken I*phone (sbsettings) that I miss was activating that screen with a swipe without exiting the focused application. It must be possible in android. Any info?
Quicksettings?

There is an app in the market called "Quick Settings" which can be placed in the Ongoing notification dropdown that is customizable to include everything on the power control widget and more.
I am a fan of "power strip", a great paid app.
Quick Settings is really nice. Thanks y'all.
FYI, I've also used NOTIFi by Sisedi Media. It's skinnable and has a polished look that's a little different from the normal android UI.
Try QuickDesk Beta. It's a single extra homescreen that you access by double tapping the home button. Can put any widgets or shortcuts that you can put on your home screen. That way, all you have to do is double tap your home button, use the power strip, then hit back to get out of QuickDesk Beta and you'll be back in your original app.
The MIUI ROM has this as a fixed element at the bottom of the drop down.

The amount of times i've wished I didn't have to return to Home Screen to toggle GPS / WIFI etc - this is the absolute perfect solution. If it had customisable entries where we could launch a task switcher - WIN WIN!
+1 hopefully.
Perhaps this thread should be moved to Andoid General for greater visibility?
Steve.
theres an app thats called "in app toggle wifi" or something where you just have to hold the search softkey for a couple of seconds. even better in that it is hidden.
A good alternative is quickdesk by ruqqq, I've set it to bring up its "screen" on home double tap.
quickdesk is awesome. Not only can use power control but any app that you want without leaving any application. love it
Just noticed that the galaxy tab has this too.

Quickdesk or My Settings is best alternative for time being

Cyanogen ROM will soon have this. You can look at Cyanogen's twitter account, he recently had a pic showing it off. I can't wait.

COURTESY OF ANDROIDCENTRAL!!
Now we have all waited to see the much anticipated quick settings be incoperated into android and now it is and i must say it looks amazing and overall a amazing feature androidcentral has brought us a quick preview before android 4.2 is released

Finally, Google has added quick settings to the notification pulldown in Android 4.2. That's a feature many have wanted in stock Android since, well, forever. Enthusiast ROMs have added them. The manufacturers have added them. You can download apps that add them. And now, Google's added them in the latest version of Jelly Bean.
Only, Google did it different. Whereas quick settings generally serve as toggles in the notification pulldown, Google's gone a different route. Crazy, or crazy like a fox? Let's take a look.
The gist is this: Pull down the notification bar, and you see your notifications, just like always. Only, where there used to be a Settings button is now ... something else. The icon shows a person, with five thumbnails below and to the right of it. It's actually a preview of what's to come.
Press that button, and the notifications section flips over to the quick settings. (And the icon in the top right of the screen switches from the quick settings icon back to a notification icon.) The settings listed are:
Your Google+ profile: If you're signed in to Google+, your name and profile picture will appear. Tap it, and you're asked if you want to view your Google+ profile. (Not sure why I'd ever want to get to my G+ profile that quickly, but chances are Google will tweak that at some point.)
Brightness: Tap this, and you get a little popup that lets you adjust the display brightness. This is different (and better) than the full-screen brightness notification. I use this a lot already.
Settings: Ah, there it is. A shortcut to the full settings menu.
Wifi: Shows the network you're own. Tap, and it takes you to the Wifi settings.
Mobile data: Shows which carrier you're on, and signal strength (in bars).
Battery: There's a visual indicator and percentage remaining. (Numbers FTW!) Tap and you get the battery section in the settings menu.
Airplane mode: Shuts off the radios for when you're on an airplane. (Or if you want to pretend you're on an airplane.)
Bluetooth: Takes you to the Bluetooth settings menu. (The quick setting will show on if on, off if off.)
One finger for notifications, two for settings
Here's the really cool part -- Google's given a way to quickly access the quick settings side for of the pulldown. Here's how it works.
Pull down from the top of the screen with one finger and you get the notifications area.
Pull down with two fingers and you immediately get the quick settings.
Presumably this will work just fine on all smartphones. (The worrier in us, however, is slightly concerned about strange touch panels behaving weirdly, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.) In practice, we got the hang on the two-finger swipe just fine, though we're not quite at 100 percent in practice. Most of the time it works, sometimes it doesn't. Chalk that up to prerelease software, perhaps, or (more likely) operator error.
Quick settings and tablets
Things are pretty much the same on tablets in Android 4.2. You have the same quick setting buttons -- with auto rotate swapped in here for the cellular connection button. (Presumably the mobile network button will remain on any tablet that has a data connection.)
The other difference for tablets is in how you access the notifications and quick settings pulldowns. You still drag from the top of the display (in either portrait or landscape orientation). But notifications are on the left, and quick settings are on the right. There's no one- or two-finger swiping. (And you can't full both down at the same time. We've 'shopped that picture for sake of example.)
It's not yet known if applications will be able to add items to the notification menu, or how they'd be able to do that without breaking the iconography. As of now, there's no way to add or remove settings.
Be that as it may, quick settings are a welcome addition in Android 4.2, and Google's implemented them in a smart manner.
We know?
Nice
Nearly wet myself when I read title as thought someone had ported this, wishful thinking on my part anyway thanks op.
Hi there,
So I have been using N7000 quite a while now - 2 years or so. And I discovered one, very annoying thing about new versions of android - each one seems to be worse in terms of usability and desktop space usage then the previous one...
Lets start with GB roms - there was 5x5 launcher in home screen and 6x5 in app menu + very useful bottom app dock that visible from desktop (home screen) and app screen. Also - each screen had a number that was shown in the bottom, so you knew where you were.
See picture: gb.jpg taken from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424401 here
Next version - ICS has cut some rows of icons in the app menu and completely deleted bottom app dock. And where the hell is screen number gone? Why??
The good thing about ICS was decent performance and quite good battery life. - Actually, the best one so far on n7000
See picture ics.jpg taken from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923817
JellyBean - same story less apps rows, everything seems to have more room for itself but it causes more screens and more swyping gestures. 4x4 in home screen is a joke. Having so big screen and using so little of it is pointless. I do not know what were they thinking designing the layout! And how did they manage to release so bugged software causing all kernel wakelocks destroying our batteries?
And finally - KitKat which follows the same direction - less icons in the screen, more touches to get you where you want.
Now regarding AOKP that everybody seems to love here - there is no support of very 'basic' apps that Samsung offers in stock TW roms:
- fm radio
- video calls via 3g
- s note
I can understand that s-note is the samsung specific app, but video calls and fm radio not being supported in 2014 AOKP KitKat roms is regress...
I recon that the next version of Android will have 1 icon and 1 icon for 1 screen - containing 12 screens.
We are putting ourselves in the custody of trying simplify things which are simple enough. Many other examples would be some of the google apps - Talk regressed to Hangouts, Maps regressed to new maps, and simple search app regressed to google now that everybody hates. And did I mention it takes 1 home screen when you swipe left on several devices?
I do not want be involved in the discussion of every single mistake google / samsung / communicy have made. I just wanted to point that the way, we are being directed is clearly a wrong way ahead!
Roll on

Wow what an analysis. Yes ur right about everything u have said. Each new version of android shows so low mininum hardware requirement, which is not true because once the rom is released its much bigger in size than the previous one. I would like android to get updates like linux. Each edition getting a parallel update. Newer devices gets the newer edition and older devices should get the update of the edition they are already on.
The best performance my note showed was

brilliant post. brilliant analysis. plus there are now more non responsive google. same goes for force closing of apps
Post up your wish-list of custom options for custom ROM's (non OP) and Kernels and I'll add them to the OP.
This is for options that you aren't finding in any ROM, or at least not in your favorite ROM.
Feel free to mention your current ROM if you like but this thread is NOT about which ROM is the best or your favorite.
Please don't turn it into that. :good:
I'll try to bold new suggestions every day or so till the thread gets tired.
*Ability to filter out specific notifications from appearing (ie: NotifyClean)
*Bring "only show running apps" option back to Slim Recents.
*Clearly mentioned in OP if rom supports encryption/decryption.
*Day/Night - Provide option to switch between two different Substratum themes at toggle of a button.
*Fix the earphone bug.
*Fully working OOS camera
*Now Playing features from Pixel 2 XL detect song from lockscreen via ambient
*Option to remove USB Debugging notification is missing on some newer ROM's.
*Ring on charge complete
*Vibration - Would like to have option for more than 100% vibration.
- Clearly mentioned in OP if rom supports encryption/decryption. That is not always the case and people ask many times in the same thread.
- Long press back to kill foreground app.
Fully working OOS camera times 100. Literally the only thing stopping me from switching from OOS betas. I'm aware of the Google Camera functionality and also about all its problems.
Ability to filter out specific notifications from appearing. For example, my wife and I 'share' an Amazon Prime Photos account. I don't want a 'Successfully uploaded photos from your 3rd device' notification every time she uploads something. But I don't want to mute notifications for the whole app (or sometimes even notification group) as I may not get the 'upload progress' notifications' anymore. The Xposed module Notify Clean was perfect pre-Nougat and AutoNotification works alright post-Nougat, but it would be nice if this was baked into the ROM.
OP updated.

Just FYI, this is already available in every custom ROM I've tried so far.
You just have to enable the navigation bar options and then go into the button editor. I set up all my ROM's with this. And set the home button to open camera on long press.

OMG, if NotifyClean ever gets updated for Oreo I will go back to using Xposed again.
I really miss that app and some of the others by that dev. :good:
Hello there,
First off, the only couple things that stopping me to move from stock to a custom rom is the OOS camera (as mentioned above) and mostly the earphone bug. The mic on the phone and the earphones seems to be activated during a call and it gets pretty annoying to hear an amplified background of your environment and the person's on the other end, seems like most custom roms have this problem.
I've also long wanted to see ''ring on charge complete'' on the OP5T.
Thank you for asking.
Sorry i know this feature is hard to make but Now Playing features from Pixel 2 XL detect song from lockscreen

I think this might be an option using Light Flow?
If you really want it then it might be worth looking into.
It does custom ringtones for certain actions.
And they can be backed up for ROM re-flashes as long as the ringtone is stored in the usual spot /system/media/sounds/etc.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rageconsulting.android.lightflow
To clarify my personal request here:
*Day/Night - Provide option to switch between two different Substratum themes at toggle of a button.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
A few ROM's provide built in day/night theme options.
But they don't theme apps like phone or calculator or anything else.
They only theme the settings and drop-down and a couple other things.
I want a nice non-tasker hack.
And would be willing to donate for it :lol:
