Hey all, since we don't have root or custom ROM's yet, what are some of the must have apps to add additional functionality you find missing from your favourite roms? Things like additional tiles for the notification tray, etc. I'm looking for whatever you can't live without!

Holding on the settings icon does nothing for me. As soon as I let go it just loads the normal settings menu.
Are you sure you're bringing down the notification center from the status bar?

Bring that down and hold onto the top right settings icon. You have to hold down for 5 seconds

Yes, that's what I do. The phone vibrates but nothing happens.
I'm on UK 3 branded, so maybe it's been disabled in some way.

Pull down notification bar and hold settings for 5 secs....
Nothing happens.
Didn't open anything but "settings" for me but then when I scroll down the menu ,it is above "about phone" and below "developer options"

Also I noticed my settings icon also has a wrench on it. I held it again and turned it off just to test, then I was able to turn it back on and even got a toast pop-up saying congrats it's enabled...

Nope. It works for me im using the three branded. When it vibrated there should be a toast notification saying its active. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the settings and there should be an option called system ui
