What's the best Toggles app? I'm looking for gps/wifi/bluetooth to be widgets on the homescreen. IF that can't be done, then what's the best app?
Thanks
Toggle Setting is a good problem (just one icon opens up all toggles), but it force closes on reboot.
Other than that, there is a bunch made by Rounded Labs which appear to be pretty good.
I installed Toggle Setting and like you said it just force closes at reboot which I don't want... I'll check out Rounded Labs. Thanks
Try making shortcuts to the settings using "AnyCut."
def get useful switchers, best toggle out to date
Oh, and search the market for Andrew Schwimmer, he's got some good ones as well.

I can't seem to find the answer to this one anywhere, but I'm sure I'm probably just searching for it incorrectly.
How do I un-associate an application?
The issue I'm having is with the weather & toggle widget donate and wanted to try some new clock skins, so I selected the "Market" as my choice for looking for new skins out of the weather app settings screen, but now every time I select the weather/clock widget from my app drawer it opens the Market instead of the settings for the weather & clock app.
Any suggestions/answers?
Thanks

Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Menu-Filter-All>Find the app that you have as the default action NOT the one that you use to get the option (In this case you would choose Market)>Clear Defaults. That should do it.
Hmmmm....it's grayed out JAguirre1231. Any other ideas?
Basically the title. Is there a way how to enable this feature in EMUI 4.0?
Bump. Please, if it isn't possible, just say I can't .
If someone knew how to open, they would have responded. I'm still on lollipop but I think that if the default way of enabling is not working, it's removed or hidden for your own good (doesn't work or crashes the phone)

IMO most of the tuner options are available in EMUI, in different places. We can edit shortcuts, status bar drag behaviour, data transfer and battery numbers visibility etc.

Does that mean we have no secret system ui tuner menu?
Well can you help me removing google search icon(not a bar) from homescreen. there is no google search app installed (not even under system apps). i search and found out that system ui tuner could hide it + other stuff like battery percantage into battery tweat etc.
Update: I found the battery percantage tweak at Settings > notification panel & status bar. Still having that non used google icon which i dont like.

I see. I tried Nova Premium. Every time I try to personalize my phone with 3rd party apps, finally I go back to stock. EMUI doesn't like other apps but it is very good itself, if you like this style. If you don't like it, it's better to change the phone.

I am using Apex Launcher myself without any problem.
Make sure you have choose default launcher in Default apps settings.
Settings > apps > advanced > default apps > launcher and choose the one you are using
You can check my blog about it here. (delete*)h*ttps://3dbeach.wordpress.com/2017/01/07/removing-bloatware-on-android/

Hello,
I always use a gesture "one finger pull down" to pull down the notification shade, but it is not working for me on the S8 has anyone noticed the same?
I am currently using action launcher 3, but none of the launchers seem to do it for me.
Update, action launcher has been updated and it works now.
Yes. I have the same issue.
Settings > Advanced Features > Enable "Finger Sensor Gestures"
it's working for me, clear your fingerpring and try.. .... mine is S8+
It's not the fingerprint sensor that's not working it's the gesture on the home screen of pulling down. Normally I can swipe down anywhere in the home screen and pull down notifications and quick actions. Right now I have to get my finger all the way to the top. I have tried making the gesture a double tap as well as a two finger pull and nothing works.
I have exactly the same issue! I submitted a bug request with action launcher, in case its a problem with that app. Perhaps you should do that too?
It's not the app. I'm fortunate enough to have Verizon which still allowed the Bixby button to be remapped. (the first time I'm actually happy they are slow at rolling out updates lol). That being said I remapped that button to open notifications and its fine. However using Nova launcher which uses what I assume is the same accessibility interception doesn't work. Hopefully a work around is found so this phone is more usable with one hand.
Definitely an issue with 3rd party launchers and the s8 fingerprint sensor

I have the same issue. Guess i have to get used to use the fingerprint swipe, until they fix it.
Working for me as well.
Did you activate launcher's service in settings>accessibility>services?
Its disabled by default, you have to enable it in the settings, but to be honest, that feature is useless unless you are missing fingers on your hand. and youll end up smudging your camera in the process.
Yeah sure did... Still mot working
I have the same issue using Action Launcher 3. I also have the app ticked in Accessibility.
Everyone who is saying it IS working is misunderstanding the issue. It's not a case of swiping the fingerprint sensor not working, it's a case of launchers that use shortcuts to access the notification shade. For years, I've used Action Launcher 3 where a single finger swipe down OF THE HOMESCREEN brings down the notification shade - that doesn't work anymore. And given the height of the S8 duo, this is the time we need it the most.
It does not work because swiping up/down now brings up app drawers. It is by design. Maybe try disabling app drawers a la iOS style?
You just need to enable Action Launcher in Settings->Accessibility scroll all the way down to services.
(I hope those is the right names, my phone is not set to english)
Looks like Nova Launcher Prime does work for me as long as Accessibility is activated so this problem is mostly just a Action Launcher problem. I remember at one point he moved away from needing accessibility to utilize this feature and maybe its default setting is to not utilize it any longer. I really want to stick with Action Launcher so hopefully the developer will come through with the old way through accessibility.

Ok found a solution but its annoying. If you have Action Launcher and Nova Launcher (Prime may or may not be needed) you can still use action launcher primarily but you'll need to utilize Nova Launcher's action short cuts. So here goes...
1. Open Action Launcher Settings
2. Go to shortcuts
3. Go to swipe down
4. Assign single finger to "Shortcut" > Nova Action > Select Expand Notifications in this menu.
??? profit

GENIUS.
I found another solution as well! works very good.
Install the app "drop down status bar"(WangQi) from play store and then use this app as a shortcut for that gesture you want.
Has this feature been made avaliable to the 6t? Hoping a rom with it comes out soon. That's all I need the rom for essentially ?

I also was trying to find out if this is possible. I tried to enable sticky immersive with adb and it made the top bar black like you were disabling it in the settings menu. I like being able to swipe down to see everything but feel apps could be better using the notch area. I didn't like turning them all off in ui tuner either.

Use the app called immersive mode manager to set modes for apps and make sure you goto your Android settings and enable full screen mode for all apps. This will enable a swipe down status bar when immersive mode is enabled

I tried the app and got it working. The only problem is apps like chrome, Nova launcher still cut off the notch area of the screen. I appreciate the idea. Maybe this will get figured out later down the line.

You can get nova to work by enabling full-screen mode in the phone settings. Unfortunately for some reason Chrome isn't listed on the list of apps, that's why you have the black bar up top.

Got Nova working. I installed Dolphin browser for now until Chrome can be used. I appreciate the help! I had my 5T set up the same way with the sticky immersion.
I know gesture navigation in 3rd party launchers is suppose to work on oneui 2.5 on note 20 ultra. But it doesn't work very well at all.
1. Swiping up to get to recent apps is not a very smooth animation, but worse is that the current app gets positioned in the middle rather than to the right, so quick switching is cumbersome.
2. Trying to use the swipe right on the bottom for previous app is a buggy mess. It's unsmooth and pops in the recent view briefly. Often you get stuck and cannot use the app you switched to, needing to swipe back and switch back and forth to get normal operation again. After trying to use these swipe right/left gestures to quick switch apps, you cannot scroll through the recent apps view quicky anymore, one swipe always mean moving one app to the left or right no matter how strong the swipe. This stays until rebooting.
It's a buggy mess, is there any way to fix this? I'm using Nova, but the problems are the same on all 3rd party launchers.
it might be improved with Android 11
I'm using lawnchair and don't have any of your issues. Only issue swipe to home conflicts with swipe up for app draw.
Everything else works fine. I do think recents menu trigger too easily tho. I get into it when I'm trying to go home.

Oh. I'll have a look at lawn chair and compare the experience. Seems strange how there would be different results in different launchers. Trier Microsoft launcher and it worked the same. I'll make a video of the issues if they turn out being the same on lawn chair.
I just installed the Microsoft Launcher and yeah quite some few animations are missing, plus recent apps are showed blank until I swipe between them.

This is one of the bugs when using a 3rd party launcher and from my understanding, it doens't matter WHICH 3rd party launcher: they all exhibit this behavior when using gestures.

I realised why i don't have your recents issue. I use good lock's task changer. I just turned it off and saw what you meant.
With it enabled the background in recents it from the app your in not the home launcher.

Oh so the good lock task changer is working better in this regard? That's interesting. Is the quick task changer working better too? (swiping right or left on the bottom, browsing previous apps without going through the recent screen)
Is the good lock task changer available for oneui 2.5?

I don't have any issues so you can give it a try and see how it goes. Yes, its all in the good lock app.
But animations are part of the launcher so its totally normal that you won't get the same effect from a third party launcher. My gestures work fine with Nova. No issues here. Animations are different but its a different launcher so that's to be expected too.

Just install an app called gesture control

You can create your own gestures and it is not affected by the launcher

Looks interesting but there are missing features like a swiping left or right to move between previous apps, also there's usually issues specific to this kind of solution. Haven't tried it though. It may be a viable alternative.
This app compare with the other has an advantage, that you set up the app how you want to. if you want to have left or right to go back to last apps you can do it. Like for example I have it for mine
Bottom center click
Go home
Bottom center click and hold
Google Assistant
Bottom center swipe up
Recent apps
Bottom center swipe left
Go back to last app
Bottom left swipe up
Last app
Bottom right swipe up
Recent apps
Buttom Left and right side of screen
Go Back
Top Left and right side of screen
Lauch apps
All but the buttom center are transparent
I'm using a combination of Nova gestures and One Hand Operation+, set system navigation to buttons, double tap navigation bar to hide system buttons.
Swipe up from bottom and nav / home button appears.
Use side swipe in OHO+ for back and switcher.
Use nova on home screen, swipe down for app search, swipe up for switcher, double tap home screen for notification / quick settings.

Just tried swiping right in Nova and you are totally right it is glitchy. Unfortunately it summons the recents functionality and your left with a hybrid of recents and previous page so i can swipe up to close a page thats in full size. I had never noticed because i dont really use that functionality.

For those that cannot run Good Lock (such as myself, since it is not running in my country) you can give Nice Lock a try, helps you run Good lock services anywhere
One Hand Operation+ works very well and uses very little battery.
Try clearing the system cache on the boot menu, my favorite gremlin exterminator.
I'm running nova. Not getting any bugs or errors.
