I used to have a Galaxy S2 before moving to Moto X, and the config curtain made me miss the Samsung Galaxy S2 curtain, where you just slide and choose to disable/enable what you want without the need of a widget. There is an app which does the same thing no moto x?

Takes a little poking around with it to learn what it can do. Swipe left and right for additional configuration screens. Chris

I have not found a way. It you have one line of toggles and battery % turned on the % number covers the icon. I added more toggles the other day on the second line and the icon appeared beside the %. Chris

android already has this built-in, unless i'm missing something.

when you hit the settings button in the upper-right of the notification bar, you get a quick list of things like wifi, BT, etc. to disable/enable any of them, just long press (long press BT, turns on/off BT).

OK played around in settings preferences. I have battery percentage in place on first line icon and set second line to transparent. Chris

I know that, but I got used with the feature on samsung, I just have to slide one finger and have access to that. Without the app I'd have to slide, click and choose between thousand of icons, that's the feel I get.

And also, I like to disable screen rotation sometimes, that google just forgot on nexus template

i'm still confused. thousands of icons? do you need something additional from the standard five? i've used the power toggle widget since 2.x but ever since they added those same settings to the notification bar, the widget isn't necessary.

if this is what you're referring to, it looks more confusing than android's solution:

What I meant is:

on Galaxy S2, I just had what I needed on the curtain, which was wireless, mobile data, sync, rotation and few other things. That was enough. 1 line of icons.

Now on moto x I have pull the curtain, click on top right icon leading me to almost a screen full of icons and missing the auto rotate, when just a ribbon/line was enough.

On Galaxy S2 (ICS/JB) is very short, in the 3rd picture you've shown, it almost like visual pollution to me. the 2nd is more the way I like it.

you can use gesture controls in third party launchers to go directly to toggles. I use Nova Launcher and have it set so that when I double tap the screen the toggles open. you can assign other gestures instead if you wish. Have a single finger swipe down open notification shade, two finger swipe down for toggles for example. If you're rooted, you can use gravity box to change which tiles are displayed and in which order.
