on my s4 and it was on my s3 every now and then when i pick up my phone i see a clock and missed calls light up with phone still locked and i have know idea how that happens but i would like to it seems like it could come in handy,thanks
That's the quick glance setting. Settings, Motions and Gestures, Air Gesture, Quick Glance! A quick swipe of your hand over the locked phone show that!

I watched the video of the 2.2 software for the galaxy s and noticed they had an "orientation lock" button in the quick launch buttons at the top of the notification bar. I absolutely hate the automatically switching orientation setting but there is definatly times i need to use the phone in landscape and its a pain to switch it. I am wondering if this is something that is possible to add to our current software? i searched but couldnt find anything for this for the vibrant.
anyone have any ideas how to implement this? or is it something that well just have to wait and see if its an option when we get 2.2.
thanks

Would be nice, and i like how the Euro is Vibrate rather than Silent. I could do away with the Bluetooth for a auto lock. Wish Cyanogne would pick that up.
Yeah, the rotation of Android pales compared to the iphone. It's always been disappointing to me.
Have you tried Curvefish's rotation widget in the market? It's free and a very nice looking 1x1 toggle switch.
Use switch pro widget.
The ability of accessing it in the notifications bar is what I want.

Download Quick Settings in the market. Basically it gives u the option to keep it in the notification bar and access the orientation change (and ever single other setting) with a swipe and 2 clicks.
I promise u will not find a more convenient solution. The app is definitely Top 10 in the entire market.
My old iphone was jailbroken and had lockinfo installed. that way I could mark emails as read and read txts from the lock screen. i would love to do something similar with my Atrix.
I was thinking it would be great to just be able to pull down the notification shade on the locked lock screen. that way it is clean looking, and if i don't want to unlock it, I can just pull the shade down and interact / clear notifications from the shade. does anyone know if this is possible, or if any one has implemented a similar hack on another phone? i would be happy to get My hands dirty in the code, but have never worked with Android before and was hoping for a jump start.
the app widget locker will let you do this as well as give you full control over your lockscreen.
Is there any way to add toggle widgets to the shade like touchwiz does, that seems to be the only thing I liked about touchwiz
Hi friends
Im gonna post a link to a video of the galaxy Note and from 00:56 to 01:05
you will notice that a nice looking chick is holding the Note on the lockscreen,
and it appears that there are some apps that appear on the bottom, right about
where the dock would be if the phone was unlocked.
Does anyone know if this is actually possible on the Note and how?
Im not refering to apps that customize the lockscreen because this
doesn appear to be an app.
I personally looked into the settings but had no luck.
Im guessing it was only a pre-production thing or else I would have found it.
But then again Im no expert...
Anyone with knowledge on the matter, please share your lights
here is the link:

just found another one
I just found another video that shows the apps on the lock screen
and a couple more on the top right of the screen.
Where the heck are these options??????

I have this feeling I've seen that screen elsewhere before... I don't have my Note with me, but if you check under the stock Clock application, i think the rightmost tab has something that has shortcuts on the bottom and top right like that?

Lol.. its the dock mode on the galaxy note.. its on the galaxy s2 too.. just put it on a dock accessory and,d screen interface changes like that even on my galaxy s2... But not wen you use it normally
What a goof I am!
Thank you both.
You're both right!
This obviously happens on the dock or if you choose this screen from the standard clock app.
Thanks
That is the Clock mode. Just enter Apps/Clock =)

If you want a customisable lockscreen then it's not possible to go past Widgetlocker!

Oh well, Galaxy Note DID have a lockscreen with app shortcuts like sense 3.0 lockscreen up to version JHA. Later on, Samsung decided to take out this feature....maybe for patent reason?!?!
What a pity! It was one of the reasons for me to buy the Galaxy Note!

I would only use a lockscreen app that doesnt interfere with the home button.
I paid for Lockmenu Pro and my money went to waste because the app interfered with the home button just like a launcher and there was no option ti cancel this. Pressing the home button once while the phone was locked, and it unlocked! Called my boss at 1:00am while in my pocket!!!!
Does widgetlocker mess up the home button?
it's not the desk clock, on the desk clock in the top right hand corner there's an expand/contract button, whereas in the video that button isn't there
Since I got the Note 3 a week ago, I've spent most of that time trying to find a way to get proper lockscreen notifications. "Proper" in this case means pretty much what LockInfo IV did on jailbroken iPhones (if you're familiar with that):
Each notification chosen by the user is displayed on the lockscreen as a separate entity
Each notification (text or email) can be viewed in its entirety on the lockscreen, if the user chooses that option (such as by tapping to expand each notification)
Notifications are persistent, in that they remain visible on the lockscreen whenever the phone is brought out of sleep mode.
I've tried LockerPro, Nils, Pop-up Notifier, and others and they all fail in one way or another. I'm led to believe that lockscreen notifications are limited by the way that Android populates the notifications panel. The big problem is that if you get more than one email or text, they all get lumped together into a single, useless "You have <x> number of new messages" entry, which means you have to unlock the phone and launch the respective app to see who it's from and what it says.
This completely defeats the purpose of screening notifications on the lockscreen.
I'd appreciate recommendations for any app that will make lockscreen notifications useful. Thanks to designgears, my phone is rooted now, if that makes a difference.
Try dynamic notifications. It mimics the moto x.
Won't show everything though.
Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried that one and it didn't do it for me, but I'll give it another shot at some point.
For now, I've stopped worrying about lockscreen notifications, since push email is basically broken on the Note 3 anyway. It's like a time machine back to 1995.

Hey - I was looking for the same for my N3....i've been trying Dynamic Notifications on and off for awhile now. At first it works, and then just stops. Maybe give Knock2 +V2..I'm testing it now and so far it seems to work flawlessly for me
Hello all!
I'm coming from a s5 mini and the one thing I was really sad to let go was the notification led. It's a great feature and I really miss it.
Always on display can do somewhat the same thing, but not that good. I often leave my phone on a table and walk around and I want to be able to just glance at my phone and see if I have any notifications. Yes, always on display shows notification, but it has a clock and 2 lines of text above them, making it harder to distinguish if you actually have notifications from some meters away.
I was thinking if I could change the color of notifications. The clock could stay white, but have a green notification for a miss call for example, that way the notification will pop out and catch your eye.
Also it would be perfect if I could assign different colors for different apps, that way it would act like the beloved notification led..
thats not possible for now but if it interests you heres and an apk that will make aod display notifications only , just install choose analog reboot and its done https://1drv.ms/u/s!AlNdpKNMp2XWkYY01k9kg3-Ax78rjg

thank you, thank you, thank you :good:
I just found this thread. That sounds exactly what I want - I dont want the AOD on all the time - just to give me notifications.
The link above is now dead - Any chance it could be made available again?
EDIT: Probably should add - would this work on an a5 2017 running Oreo?
after quite a lot of searching i found the original thread about it , just scroll down a little until you see downloads and select just notifications , but there are more greatt aod things there. https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/themes/root-customise-display-updated-t3688153
edit: doesnt work on oreo
Ok thanks. I have oreo. Doesn't seem to work.
