Why is the flashlight app only in easy mode? - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I cant find the flashlight app in Normal mode, but it's right there on the home screen in easy mode. Surely I'm overlooking something because this doesn't even make sense. Anyone know how to get the default flashlight app in normal mode?

This does not belong here... Q&A...
As for the question it's a widget, not an app, add a widget to the homescreen.

Basically

It's a widget toggle.
It's in the settings folder inside the widgets.

Lovely - thanks. Not sure how I overlooked that one.

You can use Quickclick app to map the volume button to open the flashlight...

Thanks for this!
Was looking for a way to use the Flashlight on the lockscreen, without rooting...
This is even better!

HTC Widgets

In the manual it has a picture of a WiFi widget, but I can't find it on the phone. I've got a 3rd party one but it doesn't look as nice as the HTC one. Anyone know where it is?
Expand the settings option in the widget menu, the toggle widgets are in there.
awesome, ta!!

Volume button doesn't go to silent?

Anyone else lacking the feature to go from vibrate to silent by pressing the volume down button? This is after the 2.2 update. Also, if anyone has a fix for removing the slide lockscreen before pattern lockscreen, that would be helpful.
In 2.2 u have to option for either silent or vibrate. U can pick which one under settings>sound>vibrate

I agree, I find the lack of it now very annoying. Sometimes I like to have my phone on vibrate (like at work), and sometimes I want it completely silent (like while I'm asleep). This seems like a pointless change.
Check out Volume Toggle (Free) on the market. I use a widget to change my sound profiles. When I go to bed I use Night Watch to restrict sounds. When you plug it in between certain hours it will auto start for you if you want.
Glad I found this I was afraid I messed something up lol
This is pretty unbelievable to me, why they would do that.
Either way, you could try the link in my sig... my volume control app allows you to go into silent or vib. It's pretty nooby though.
Hate it also, i use dazzle widget. Has a toggle for vibrate or silent.

curvefish has one too. nice toggle widget.
Thanks, I've been looking for something like these for the last couple days, I'll check out the various apps you guys mentioned.
Edit: Actually, I just realized that you get a similar widget with Weather and Toggle Widgets. You can toggle between On, Vibrate, and Silent, it's just what I was looking for.

If you are referrancing my screen... its not my home screen but one of the others... the toggle switches at top are beautiful widgets silent, vibrate, wifi, and bluetooth all from beautiful widgets... the calender is the moto calender widget and the folders I created myself which hold Emulators and all my camera apps.. here is beautiful widgets small weather widget on a rainy day and a cloudy day... you can see the rain drops running down my screen. This only happens when I unlock or wake up my phone.. once you touch the screen it goes away.

What fun is that if you have cool widgets lol... just messing with ya
Well actually, I stand corrected. Holding the top button will only set vibrate now. But, speaking of cool widgets, try widgetlocker! There is a slide that will completely silence or vibrate all from the lock screen. I know this isn't a true fix to what they screwed up but it is an all around better lock screen. $1.99 is well worth it.

Definitely go for Widgetlocker.
Widgetlocker!!! its brill
Like others have said, Widget Locker is probably the best. It's available for $0.99 in the Amazon App Store and it's one of their best selling apps (that's how I found out about it).
Thanks guys, just got it. agreed its the nuts!
the other little thing pissing me off, cant customise the powercontrol widget.
Anyway to get WidgetLocker to not unlock with home key press?

Yes, it got something to do with homehelper.
Go to advanced settings/homehelper/ and check the boxes for 'Homehelper Block Home & Block Home In Other Apps'.
That did the trick for me.

Same but I want something which works with Samsung's music player's lockscreen widget.
Where I don't need to unlock phone to change tracks, pause /play etc.
Anyone got any ideas???
You can change the background under Settings > Display > Screen display > Lock screen > Wallpaper

WidgetLocker has full widget capabilities. As long as it's a standard widget that can be added through the widget menu, you should be fine to add it to the WidgetLocker screen.

extended controls (0.99)
I'm using the stock android pattern lockscreen.
when I enable widget locker it appears an icon in the notification tab. Is there a way to remove that?

Extended Controls. Market search it. It is the best one you could ever imagine. It does cost, but I bought it (and I am one cheap-skate! ) Great app. Allows you to easily make the powercontrol widget, with a number of themes, or icon packs. Very useful app.
I remember when I bought it, there are a number of different apps that do the same thing. But this one just looked the best at the time, so have a quick read of the info on each app.

Can someone create a MOD to add more apps in Qslide?

Like it says in the title, can someone please create a MOD for more options or apps in the Qslide? Please!

Yes, Q Slide would be nice if you could put a flashlight in there, or something like that even though a whole other row of crap isn't needed. The main mod I would like is flashlight from the lock screen. Had it built into BAMF for my Nexus... so convenient.

Can't you do this already? Download an app like Flashlight - which gives you the ability to have a widget for a simple flashlight. Press once to turn on, again to turn off. Then, swipe left from the lock screen until you get the + Tap to add Widget, and add this flashlight widget.

Waiting for your progress, bro
Well, I think you should resize the apps, that you want to have in QSlide, also.
Has anyone been able to do this? I'd like to replace the Email button with Aquamail. And a few others.
Trying
I have been trying to get more support for extra qslide apps so far i haven't been able to get what i need, but i will continue to try. it may have to be put into an xpoosed module is what i'm thinking

I don't see an actual widget for it. But go into setting>lockscreen>additional information >turn it on then check weather. In the lockscreen setting also make sure show date is checked.
I think that is what you're asking. Mine is transparent on my lockscreen, but can't remember if I made it that way or rom I'm running lol

its the stock weather widget. long press the home screen until you see widgets. tap it. look for weather. you can make it transparent in the options for it.
