Hello guys,
I'm using kitkat with TWRP and root. I notice that the time from unlock device to take a picture ranges from 3 to 4 seconds.
We know there's an animation when you slide right-to-left until camera app loads, which possibly takes ~ 1 second. My question is, is there a way to kill this animation?
Found this after 10 seconds of search on the Playstore. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.warpcode.nexus7camerawidget&hl=en
You might need to disable face unlock for it to work correctly or you'll get a black screen when the camera launched and have to switch camera mode to get the image back.

Thank you, man, I searched google for a tweak. I was not that smart like you to think there could be a whole new widget for that.

Here's an idea. Like the way we pull down the notification bar, at the lock screen, we pull down our home screen or last used app to unlock.
Technically, I have thought of one possible way doing it. Using widget locker, place a widget at the top of the screen, it looks like a bar or an arrow pointing downwards. It takes a snapshot of the screen when the phone is locked or screen timeout (probably widgetlocker locked intent broadcasted?). You pull it down to a certain point, while showing the snapshot last taken, and tell widget locker to unlock (widgetlocker unlock intent - are there any?).
So that's my idea and with very little chance I will developed it (cuz I don't know how!). Hopefully someone will take this concept and developed it and/or anwser a few technical questions:
1. How to take screenshots and uses it in the program?
2. How to determine is it pulled down to.a certain point, especially to support different screen sizes?
3. How to use only 1 row of widget space but pull it across a screen?

I just downloaded wp7 lock and I must say that my concept is similar to wp7 lock, but entirely reversed. Pulling down instead of up, and pulling home screen instead of lock screen.

Ok now i want to use this thread to have a discussion about what should be improved for the galaxy s III users by the software side.
I say
Quality audio in the video recording
Brightness
LED Rgb(colored)
Audio (on listening) with Noise-OFF option ON in the call settings
Scrolling Live/Static Wallpaper UI doesn't change
Anything else?

Reports say that the 'double tap' the top to scroll back up the contacts list...only works on the contacts list. So, hopefully...our devs can make it universal on any screen that needs to be scrolled. Also, maybe a 'double tap on the bottom' as well. (maybe the double tap on the bottom can take us back to the previous screen position)

A way to swap the menu and recent apps key assignments. I'd rather do the left key for recent apps and hold the home key for menu. Also stock ICS theme with all Touchwiz features
- Reduce home button delay - edit: just found out you can decrease delay by going into s-voice settings and disabling double click home shortcut.
- Improve lock screen wake up speed
- 5 instead of 4 lock screen shortcuts (e.g. i'd like to be able to have phone, messaging, email, internet, camera)
- scrolling wallpaper would be cute
- prevent flashing white notification led when phone is charged? or was it for something else? This actually woke me up last night and wouldnt stop until i pulled the power cable.
- ability to swap icons around on the launcher when the grid is full. Is it just me, am I being stupid? because when a launcher page is full, I can't move icons around anymore. I can move icons into folders, but when I drag an icon over another one, they refuse to swap places. Is this normal touchwiz behaviour? if it is, it's going to make organising my home screen severely annoying!
I'm such a dork, I got super excited that someone besides me said scrolling wallpaper. lol

That white LED woke me up too, its way too bright.
I solved most of the other problems by installing NOVA launcher though, phone wake up is instant, home button twice as fast (but generally still slow) and no issues with full icon grids

Yeh, a flashing bright white led is a strange choice. A dim green one would have made more sense.
Might try another launcher then. Do apex and nova have lock screen shortcuts?

NOVA uses the touchwiz lockscreen from what i can tell, so shortcuts are there.
I have actually removed the lockscreen entirely, the phone wakes up much faster.
As for security, I use an app that uses face unlock only when you try to get to settings, play store or any other app you choose. This way I can access my phone quickly for usual things but have the security where i need it.
I'd quite like the ability the rearrange the controls in the notification menu.

How can you customize the lock screen shortcuts? Thanks

1. Auto light level is too low and too slow.
2.RGB LED too light and turn on time is too short.

What can be improved:
- Get rid of the horrible sharpening that creates ugly halos around text on non white backgrounds. (it is software as using power-save L1 in browser eliminates the sharpening)
- Remove a little of the pink tint in color temperature
- Reduce the millions of always running (unquitable) services running to a minimum so that home screen restarts and browser out of memory are less of an issue.
- Make the home launcher system persistent
- Remove the unnecessary animations that slows down the speed of waking up the screen and returning to home screen.
- In browser add ability to access tabs and url bar by tapping menu when in full screen mode.
- Add text reflow to browser similar to htc. The default fit to screen option butchers the look of the webpage overview.
- Add the option to choose between LQ, HQ or HD in youtube app.
Hi devs out there, is it possible to change the boot priority of certain apps, for example hdwidgets?
As it is/was on sale I thought to give it a try but since I put the widgets on my screen every time i reboot my device all my other apps which are supposed to start on boot too (adaway, GMD gesture control and ktweaker) first start to work when hdwidgets is done, and this usually takes about 20 seconds
I do really like the look of hdwidgets but I want to have full gesture control from the first moment and it would be no problem if the widget would start a little later?
So would there any app/mod to make this possible?
Sry for my bad English xD

Hey all.
Does anybody have any idea how you change/remove widgets from the lock screen?
I'm using knock knock code, I have the large clock in the top half but wanted to change it to a calendar.
I can't for the life of me work out how your do this!
Anybody got any idea?
Thanks.

Swipe the clock widget to the right, then swipe back to the clock/unlock screen. Then you will be able to long-press on the clock and remove it. Then you'll see 'tap to add widgets' and you can choose the calendar.
Yeah, Ive tried that, It just does this lol.
Try it without Knock Code (with swipe).
Yip, Tried that ... Same thing ..
Trying to work out what the arrow at the bottom is for, it dont see to do anything.
I never even used to have the knock knock cope option, I updated my phone via the support tool, I have the knock know code but cant change the lock screen widget. I mean even when im on the lock screen i used to be able to swipe right to start the camera and now i cant even do that.
I'm thinking something has been changed in the update, Can anybody on the same build as me confirm they can still swipe from the lock screen to start the camera app and change lock screen widgets? ... Its definitely different than before.
Try using swipe lock screen and lock your device. Then wake the device. Swipe down on the clock. Then press and hold the widget. You should then have the ability to remove it. If you have no other lock screen widget, you will end up with a huge + giving you the option to add another widget. If this doesn't work (it should), reboot and try again.

It wont budge, Before if i had a pin code at the lock screen set i could just swipe the pin code area down, It then ask me for my pin, I could then long press the clock and a option to "remove" would be at the top of my screen, When the widget area was blank i would see a large + sigh, I could tap this and be given a number of widgets i could put there!
The clock just wont budge now no matter what i try!
Same Deal Here
Ever since the update, it seems I can't remove the default clock widget either. Swiping down does bring up the arrow (just as it used to) but it won't stay on long enough to long press the clock (as soon as you take your finger off it goes back to normal). I'm going to do some experimenting with WidgetLocker, see if I can't get it back to where I want it (obviously figuring this out would be ideal, but I'm starting to wonder if it's possible anymore. I've seen articles about enabling widgets, but haven't found what they're telling me to look for).
Edit: Got it figured out. It turns out I had somehow turned off the lockscreen widgets & disabled the feature through Secure Settings.

Don't know if you've been back to this thread but changing Secure Settings settings worked for me.
Just wondering how many new features of Android o are actually working on our 6p. I have it up and running but I can't seem to find any of the features like picture in picture and changing icon display. The system tuner doesn't have navigation bar so how is it possible to get picture in picture to work? It all looks hunky dory on the Pixel phones but unless I'm missing something, there's nothing available for our 6p. And there's still no night mode. ?
No night mode but I got Pip to work in Chrome with a full screen video but not on YouTube by pressing the home button.

Thanks for the quick reply. Will try that. So I guess we have to root to get this feature via custom navigation bar app. I was wondering how long I could hold off rooting. The ads are already driving me up the wall.?
None of the Android Oreo features are working on mine. Like if you long to the home screen and go to settings, it takes me to Google Assistant settings....

I flashed the update today, and I was disappointed to see the Marshmallow boot animation, the new app drawer is nonexistent, and I can't change the icons.
Hi guys, it didn't take too long. Already rooted and using custom navigation bar app to enable pip. No more ads and life is sweet again.?
People on the Pixel forum and on reddit are saying that you need a Youtube Red subscription to be able to use PIP on the Nexus 6P without resorting to use a navigation shortcut. That's crazy.
Edit: I'm Canadian so Red is a no go.
I can't press resume after pausing when using the custom navigation button to load pip on YouTube. Am I missing something or are we doomed to restore the window to full screen to press play?

Hi, just tested mine. Video can resume after pausing in pip mode.
I just see different between O and N was UI and underhood performance... All the mentioned features didn't work at least for me...
I asked about new stuff on oreo on google nexus forum for our 6p..and i just got answer that notification dots works only on Pixel and PiP mode works on Youtube Red and Chrome when watching video in full screen mode..
Welcome to the Nexus Help Forum.
I understand you're facing issues with the notification dots and PiP mode on the Nexus 6P device after the Android update.
Please be informed that notification dots are only available on Pixel. They are not possible on Nexus. Also, PiP on YouTube is only possible if the you have YouTube Red. There are also many apps that are not currently compatible with PiP. Therefore, please let me know which apps are you trying to use PiP with.

I'm using Lawnchair launcher, great stock pixel looking with extra option and feature including icon pack support and dots on app on homescreen, different visual effect, highly recommend it
using Amir Zaidi's pixel launcher version 2.1
working reasonably good. Most features works fine , DOTS is acting strange working intermittently.
But as a whole, just an APK to install , no root needed ( I am rooted BTW), and no need for any system.img flash if you wanna go back,
