multi-window on/off - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

Anyone know how I can add a shortcut or toggle for multi-window on/off? I would rather have that option because I tend to accidentally turn it on too often with the back button so I would like to disable that.

There's already a toggle in the pull-down notification bar I believe.

Not on Beans, it's gone. I would love to know if there's another toggle solution for this as well.

I'm on Beans ROM and it's not on his.
I'm getting ready to try this... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2022255

Extended Controls on notification bar

Question for anyone using Extended Controls on the Atrix. I want to be able to place Extended Controls in my notification bar, but to also be able to eliminate having the widget on my Home screen. I find that if I remove the widget, it also no longer shows up when I bring the notification area down and tap on the EC. Anyone know how to do this, or is it necessary to have the widget on the Home screen, in which case, it seems like a waste of time to put it in the Notification Bar.
Thanks.
I'm not sure about EC, but if you use Widgetsoid you can add them to the notification bar and then set the widget that's on the homescreen to invisible, so that it's ONLY in the notification bar...I believe. There's a free widgetsoid, so you could always try that out!

I'll try it out. Thanks for the suggestion!
Another work around for not having buttons on the notification bar is if you use
swipePad + mySettings
just swipe on the corners to mySettings and change your settings through there. IMO best way.

Sounds like a novel approach. I'll try that too. Thanks!
Widgetsoid blows because..
if you click on a toggle it is not truly a toggle(in notification area) because it launches another toggle window and you cannot toggle directly from notification area

That's true. I guess it depends on the phone. I'm trying the Swipe Pad + My Settings suggestion and finding that I'm liking those apps a lot. The Swipe Pad seems to add a lot of additional functionality. Thanks.

That's true. If EC does it better while still hiding the home screen widget, then by all means use that! Just offering other ideas in case it doesn't.
May not be what you're looking for/more work than you want to do, but CM7 pre beta2 has notification bar controls built in with a bevy of other new features that make day to day use more convenient. I've been using it as my daily driver since pre beta 1 was posted and love it. Minus the few addressed issues that are being worked on now it's the best rom available IMHO.

Change toggles in notification bar...

When I pull the notification tray down I don't have wifi in there. Is there anyway to change them?
Not with a the stock ROM. Verizon added an ongoing notification (which you should see) to turn wifi on instead of a toggle. Beans and CleanROM remove that ongoing notification and allow you to customize the toggles including adding in a wifi toggle.
Is this the popup that shows every time I open an app? If so, I shut that off...it was so annoying!!!

[Q] notifications on expanded desktop mode

i've just installed CM 10.1 on my phone, and i would like to use the expanded desktop mode. now the problem is that in this mode i cant see the notification bar above, and there is no way to toggle it down, so i have to switch mode in order see the notifications. Is there any alternative, to use the expanded desktop but also see the notification in some other way?

[Request] Option to limit Quick Settings toggles

Quick Setting toggles in Paranoid are awesome, I really appreciate how they work.
However, I miss the option from CM to edit the toggles behaviour, intended as which options the toggle can show.
In my specific case, I would like to:
- remove the Device option from GPS toggle and use just Low/High precision
- remove LTE from Mobile Data Switcher, as I have no 4G traffic (I love Italy for this things... and sarcasm) so I can have 2G and 2G/3G (someone maybe prefer 3G only)
If anyone has any other preferences, write them below, I'd apreciate if others have my same thought.
Feature requests belong in the bug tracker

Will try to understand JIRA in this case...
also, if we could get an update on that quick notification settings so we can decide if left or right edge of screen shall pull it down.. not just random.
thank you
@Pirateghost I can't register on JIRA; is that normal?

It stucks in an infinite loading; later I'll check if something change (I'm writing from the uni, as my computer is not working)
Re: Option to limit Quick Settings toggles
Whenever, I start my phone, all the toggles are there. The other best thing about this I had discovered is in order to remove them, one can simply turn off the toggles via notification switch or just via uninstalling the entire app.

I have no idea what this means. The QS tiles are not able to be uninstalled.
