I've opened a thread before explaining the stupidity of Icon looking widgets (1x1), they have text under-neath and it looks extremely awful...
wondering if the Active Apps and Assistive Light are working on the N3? i am really interested to exchange them with the new ones if they look any better.

Hi everyone,
i am hoping you can help me i been trying to see how to get my lockscreen to have the same features as this s5 lockscreen. see atached
i have installed xposed framework to get the camera, but for the life of me i can not get it have similar features.
I like the idea of the camera to swipe up from an app style like my iphone 5. instead of having to swipe from the left.
Also i have another issue is that my locks screen instally brings up the the screen to unlock rather than look like this s5 lockscreen.
mine is the darth vader lockscreen btw.
you ideas would be really good. to solve this.

Install a rom that have ported S5 lockscreen on it:laugh:
hi kenji thanks for that i will look into it. i am looking into the cyanogen 11 nightly atm. i hope there will no issues.
Greetings people,
As TW Lollipop has landed, most of the devs have been trying to brew ROMs for the people, and unfortunately there is no control as what MODS should be included, i have found it terribly difficult to choose a ROM as it didnt feel normal to use mods that made no sense (or at least have a minority audience).
Particularly,what annoys me a lot, is dealing with the mods that change the visual space available, now there is no need to blame devs here at all, but rather Sammy should be here to blame for just trying to make a normal UI into a complex useless UI in to their own, and they have effed it up with the new Notifications Drawer.
While i noticed a lot of devs have found options/parameters to change the view of the notification drawer, a lot of ROMs include a very annoying feature called Quicklaunch, however im pretty sure a lot of people like it. While Quicklaunch in my personal opinion sucks, it looks way better compared to S-Finder and Quick Launch buttons. I personally lack any kind programming/scripting skills, but luckily, thanks to a nice dev called @alfaroolg with a similar taste, he brewed it for me straight away.
This is what i planned on seeing:
Remove S-Finder and Quick Connect
Remove 3minit Quicklaunch
Remove the Brightness Bar
Currently, im on @g00h s Note 4 Port, which makes me believe that the Brightness Bar is not removable anymore as i could not find the setting on either the Display settings or Notification Panel editor, HOWEVER, the brightness bar disappears if under 5% battery so you cant push the brightness up, and to my surprise, found out sammy screwed up adopting to the Lollipop rules.
This is how it looks without S-Finder/QuickConnect and Quicklaunch: First Pic
This is what happens with the same configuration, under 5% battery after the Brightness Bar disappears: Second Pic
And to my surprise, if there are any Notifications going on, things return well: Third Pic
Is this a general issue Sammy mustve skipped? quite an eye catcher. Also, the area where the brightness bar disappears, usually Notifications get the place, and the first Notification is not Swipeable, i end up clicking the notification rather then removing it, and it can result in very unpleasant moments.
Hi All !
I'm from India and I just got my new Galaxy S8 in Midnight Black variant. I basically have 2 queries :
1. Is there any way by which you can customize the colors of the edge panel lighting?
Like for example: In the S7 Edge, you could assign colors to specific contacts and application notifications. I cant seem to find the same for this phone.
2. Is there any way by which we can customize the notification LED to specific colors ? Like for example you can assign a specific color to a specific application or contact ?
I really cant find these 2 things. I'd be disappointed if there aren't any options to edit these. My LG G3 had the option for the Notification LED and the older S7 Edge and Note series also had it.
Can anyone throw some more light onto this matter?
Thanks !
Hi,
Not sure I can answer point 1 but point 2, you definitely can with the use of an app, I use Light Flow, there is a paid/pro version but I basically have it set up to flash different colours for different apps, green for Whatsapp, Blue for Facebook, and even have certain colours based on specific contacts so at a quick glance you can determine who sent you what, it's great for sure

That's exactly what I'm looking for. It sucks that a flagship phone does not have some of the most useful features that the earlier ones had. I hope someone can answer for the edge lighting as well.
Edge Lighting notifications and colors are dependent on your theme and wallpaper color. It is likely that Samsung will probably roll out an update at some point on the Edge Screen APK (bundled with edge notifications) to have some more customization. Something I would like to see would at the very least have the edge lighting and the new pill-style notifications pull the color from the app icon/logo colors.

Since last update you can customize color of edge lightning..but still not the led light.
I picked up an LG V20 recently, and am loving it. I see it lacks an LED notification light, instead relying on the second screen to show notifications when the screen is off. Apps like Textra let me theme the color of its notification, which makes it much easier to identify at a glance. Was wondering if anyone knew of a way to theme or replace (for example WhatsApp or Hangouts notification icons to be a different color. Thank you very much for any suggestions.

I still think it'd be great if there was a way to make the whole 2nd screen flash a solid color at maximum brightness a few times because yeah it grabs your attention more so than a static icon
I found this thread through a search. I am wondering the same thing as I evaluate a V20. The email notification icon on the Second Screen (I use the Stock email app) is very small. Is there any way to make this larger at minimum and best case, flash continuously like a notification LED which the phone otherwise lacks? Just making it the size of the other Second Screen app icons would be a big help. I would prefer not to try rooting/customizing as I am not confident in my skills and am concerned about bricking the unit.
anybody knows how to bring back icons without frame feature for pie on galaxy s9,s9+ or note 9 without launcher? These circle icons with white background are driving me crazy
White Frames and OneUI Icons in general

Totally agree. What's even worse is if you have CONTACTS icons on your home screen (e.g. using contact shortcut widget). They all get a white frame, when the contact pictures were already round framed. The contact faces now get shrunk to a minimum, and they look small, sad and terrible in the frame.
**** What were they thinking? ****
The option to remove the frame has been dropped from the UI. The only option is to load a custom icons set from Themes... I did that and it sort of fixes the issue. Only problem then is I don't really like any of the icons set I've seen in half hour (can't spend more time on this), and after switching icons I now see Icon badges don't show when they should.
Pretty mad altogether. Why, oh why must Samsung always do something to spoil an otherwise very good update?
Also (off topic, but I need screaming about this...) - In my entirely personal opinion, the new PIE icons are ***** to begin with. They have nothing to do with the style of the device and are just goofy. I wasn't a particular fan of the OREO icons, but, in the end, they were WAY better for this device than the new ones.
