Time TO rock 'n roll
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.

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.
is it possible to change black background of apps?
if it is can you show me how?

For hiding keys you can use Auto hide nav keys, that is in Themes and app section..
I am not exactly getting your question,1st one.?
You can use slimbean rom that a feature where you can make all the settings and apps dark. try it. :good:
Press thanks if I helped you.
Like the last poster said you can use a ROM with the pie feature this way you can permanently remove the navigation bar and when you swore from a region (you can set it to wherever you want) a crescent comes out with your buttons. I prefer using AOKP since with pie you can accidentally open that panel while playing some more intense games.
On AOKP you can remove the navigation bar in the power window and use home, menu, and back buttons from there as well.
thanks
Have: Nexus 6P stock 6.0.1. Need: some customization. Items in green have a solution.
I've enabled Developer Mode and System UI Tweaker. I'd like to do this without root, or anything that would affect individual Google Play-installable apps. (The reason is, I need this device for final user release testing, so it should be what users have just from factory reset + install apps and normal OS upgrades):
Different wallpaper on Lock Screen than behind icons and widgets. (Tried: http://forums.androidcentral.com/an...-lock-screen-wallpaper-help-how-can-i-do.html - No triple dot menu visible in Wallpaper)
Full brightness on Lock screen instead of 90%, independent of brightness settings. ("OK" option: same brightness as manual brightness in Settings) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/home-lockscreen-brightness-t1704705 - no Lock Screen Options in Settings)
Disable peeking globally. ("OK" option: put them in the statusbar like 4.4.4) (I don't want to disable peeking for every new app I install: http://www.phonearena.com/news/Here...ifications-in-Android-6.0-Marshmallow_id75408) Temporary solution: I will manually disable peeking for every new app that shows them.
Global saturation setting for icons. (They're all saying "click ME!", that's an icon designer's job. With an excellent high-contrast screen like this, it's a crowd shouting.) ("OK" option: some other way of getting icons to look more Zen.) Icon packs for launchers are that "OK option", browsing tons on Google Play left Hexacon and Dual Shadow. So Hexacon.
Remove the Google Now bar from my Home Screen (without disabling any services). (As in, I taught the device my voice, so I don't need it there for me to tap. Tried: https://www.androidpit.com/how-to-remove-the-google-search-bar-from-your-android-homescreen - it's not long-tappable nor draggable, nor does it appear under Google Apps in Widgets.) Best solution so far: Nova Launcher.
I'd like to be able to do this:
Some quick way (preferably swipe) to access a more compact Quick Settings widget, like on my Xperia Z. I've reduced it to 9, can't remove "Invert Colors" and Location toggles.
Global Night Mode for everything in the System UI - to make it look similar to the Quick Settings. (This is a "like to" only because it's been promised in N. I really need it like, now. ) Best solution so far: Nova Launcher.
Basically I have the greatest phone, so I want it to look good at all times, and with the aim Clean, Fresh, Zen.
I posted here bc the forum was most specific. Feel free to refer or advise me how to best get answers as I joined tonight.
Any & all advice on single questions is appreciated Not possible is a valid answer, and I'm also prepared to wait for N if that's the answer.
I used to think of "ok google" as a novelty but its become more polished and if it remains reliable Ill continue to use it more& more. As it applies to keeping things clean it sort of does eliminate need for extra widgets.
If you have ok google everywhere u can just say " ok google...launch settings". Same goes for music apps, podcasts, youtube videos etc.
Started using a new app other day you might like called sesame edge. I set it on the right edge, virtually invisible and it brings up quick access to apps.

Thanks, trying it out. Also tried Sesame in the hope that it would let me set a different lock screen wallpaper, but it only had "their automatic lock screen wallpaper or off" as setting. I sent feedback to them, so let's see.

I dont use a lockscreen but on Pure Nexus which Im using now there is an option to set lockscreen wallpaper.
I use action launcher 3 which doesnt allow me to remove google bar (i dont think) but nova will let u do that. I like the bar cuz on action launcher i can put several shortcuts for whatever i want.
ASAP launcher is very minimal. Again you cant REMOVE the bar but swipe down and it turns into a simple clock widget.

Thx, tried Nova and it gives me Night Mode. Thanks for that Still, no way to have a different wallpaper on the lock screen than on the home screen, and I can find no Prime option for it either. Pure Nexus requires CM.
Can I mix and match this type of apps? Will they interfere with each other? Sesame seems to work with Nova at least.
What about Hi Locker? http://android.wonderhowto.com/how-to/get-back-lock-screen-customization-android-lollipop-0160204/
Can custom lock screens lock me out of my phone, make me butt dial, hog battery? I just want to change the gdmn background!
As I wrote, if some feature comes in N I'd rather wait than mess up my new phone.

Seems Im constantly tweaking things and having problems recalling exactly what I used. I know making lockscreen different from desktop is something Ive done many times. Do u have xposed? Pretty sure gravitybox has that option.
As far as butt dials, I use sweep to wake & it was a problem. Always remember to put it in your pocket screen facing out. I also need to do that when using bt headphones or else i get distortion. Anyways if i find something relevant Ill let u know.
Thx for suggestions!
I want weather, clock, and a background that matches my high-end case on the lock screen AND NOTHING ELSE, and then wherever there are icons I want a neutral background or just a color so I can see them properly. I think that's being a normal user with sensible demands.
Right now a huge dark gray or white slate COVERS the background anyway. I don't mind it, it lets me see the icons of all manner of variety and quality against something neutral, still... just allowing a background to set behind your icons seems to be an easy addition... since Froyo... Anyway, end rant about Simple Things. Android at least lets you customize them.
I'm battling notifications now. Light Manager is recommended for the 6P - testing it out now for notifications that are actually important, will report.
I have literally no idea what Xiaomi was thinking when they had this setting off by default.
Open settings
Navigate to additional settings
Open the buttons tab
Turn ON the first option in the list, "Screen buttons can hide"
This also allows for the homescreen wallpaper to actually take up the entire screen. With regards to app compatibility, I'm surprised that nearly everything supports 17:9 perfectly.
**To clarify: this tweak allows the Mi Mix to render applications/games in its' full 2040x1080 (17:9) resolution. Before this tweak is applied, all apps are rendered in 16:9; the area in which the on screen buttons are present will always be wasted screen real estate. Obviously, this setting doesn't magically adapt content that was natively created for 16:9 (IE Youtube videos) and adapt them to fit the entire screen.
Your title is really misleading. For starters, when you recieve the mix one of the first screens that pops up is exactly this option. Second, even if you hide the Navigation buttons in apps like youtube, you'll still have black bars since youtube doesn't support the 17:9 aspect ratio. I think this thread is good for people that skipped trough this setting or didn't know about it, but i think you should change the title.

There was a prompt to turn on this setting upon factory reset? I never saw this. As to your second point, my title doesn't say display media content made for 16:9 on 17:9, just run the apps (UI).
This method doesn't give you full 17:9, but it is very easy to do and it's good enough for some, as OP stated, you just need to go to setting and set it. But since Nav bar is basically still there and it's just hidden after you swipe it down, some content could still be in 16:9. To really get your phone to show everything that's possible for 17:9, you should use the Xposed method to remove the Nav bar completely, this way you get the full 17:9 experience. As an example, third party launcher like Nova launcher would not be in 17:9 if you use the OP method, but with Xposed, you can use the Nav Bar space for whatever you want.

Which module you have used to hide the navbar?
Tested xMiui, well the navbar is hidden, but the space it leaves is still not usable. A build.prop edit works better fof me. Now the space is usable by TSF launcher and all other apps. I'm using LMT pie instead.
build.prop change
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
to
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
You could keep a backup to revert the change with TWRP filemanager if needed.

How is swiping down and hiding the nav bar not running apps in 17:9? Games prior to this setting would render in 1080p with black bars, after this setting they render the entire screen (and the nav bar is transparent). What you're saying literally makes no sense. I've been using Nova launcher and I just tested swiping down on the home screen and the nav bar fully disappears and the dock icons move down right where the nav bar was. They DO move down all the way to the bottom of the screen. I guess if you want to fully remove the nav bar or use the space for "whatever you want" via exposed, one can go that route, but I don't see why anyone would want to remove it. How they hell are you gonna get to your home screen, go back, or view multitasking?
Indeed, if you really want to use the full screen, you need to remove the nav bar not hiding it. Since you are using nova launcher so I will use that as an example. If you have a news widget setup to display in 16:9, when you hide the nav bar by sliding down, the widget stays in 16:9 leaving the bottom space empty.
This is just one of the many examples where content won't automatically convert to 17:9 if you hide nav bar on real time. Besides it has been reported that some of the graphic glitch or system slowness are due to the nav bar hiding and appearing.
The solution I went with is to remove nav bar completely, so everything are shown in 17:9 natively, no switching between 16:9 and 17:9 causing the system to do extra work and have chance to misbehave. I haven't personally run the hiding nav bar method for too long as I knew quite early that's not gonna be good enough for me so I can't really comment more on the stability of it.
As of control, there are many method you can choose, simple control allow you to have exactly the same function as normal nav bar but all would run in 17:9 and it can automatically hide nav bar after some interval. Simple pie brings out overlay for nav control, I am running floating menu which is completely invisible. No overlay and is just a quick swipe to perform your usual back, home recent actions. In a lot of cases, it's faster than bringing up nav bar and click on what you want then swipe down to hide. With floating menu, it's just a single swipe.
Anyway, I am not saying anything that is best, you see what you like and that's best for you. I go with my method because it's the cleanest and has no overlay at all. Going xposed is super easy for me as I am very familiar with it.
Some would find it hard to do, some would not want to do it, some just like to hide and bring up nav bar then rehide it afterwards. Hell, some even like to use the quick ball instead. Try them all and you will see what's best for you.

Ahhh very thorough response. Thanks for clarifying as you did bring up some good points.
I've disabled navbar with builp.prop edit now. As pie i'm using gravitybox, the only one i've found working in any possible situation! LMT, unique controls etc., these are all requesting overlay permission, means these are not working like a real xposed code swap would work. The problem with implementations like LMT, etc. is, it fails if you're using apps like paypal, that desktivate all overlay apps in start. That means, open paypal, pie dead, no navigation possible. For me unusable. The only working real replacement is gravitybox. If anybody knows another, nicer desugned one....
Gesendet von meinem MIX mit Tapatalk
I am running floating menu with PayPal, non-issue at all. Liked i mentioned many times already, if you want the cleanest way to maximise everything in 17:9, you won't get anything better than this. It has no overlay and you don't see anything at all. (or if you want, a bit of overlay to help you click and swipe). Otherwise it's totally invisible.
If you want more functions like app shortcut and so on, simple pie would be better.

Same with gravitybox pie, you see nothing until you swipe up from bottom left, right. Anyway i'll have a look to floating menu, too.
Gesendet von meinem Xiaomi Mi MIX
Difference is with pie, you see the overlay when you swipe up then you need to locate the icon then let go. So ya there is still overlay and it takes a tiny more effort.
With floating menu, you swipe up then that's it. You don't locate and you don't see anything at all, hence it's totally clean. I truly believe it doesn't get any simpler than this.

It's under HW keys, and scroll all the way down to nav bar and set it to hide.
You can download simple control from App Store. Same developer that created simple pie.
This is my personal preference: Float menu > simple control > simple pie

After testing :
Apps now run 17:9 natively.
One issue: simple control get killed by system memory cleaner using the recent button while clearing all task. Will need to wait for about 20s for simple control to work again.

One more argument to use gravitybox pie feature. It is not killed by systems taskmanager! And well, there's only an overlay if you trigger the pie.

White list it and you won't have this problem. At least not with floating menu, mine is not getting killed even if I press X to clear all.
There is also the exposed method if you really can't get it to work

One thing I like about simple control over the rest is that I can set a delay before it disappears. I can do operation like double back easily to exit some app which require it. The app is also more simple and elegant to use compare to floating menu.
@wu5262 how do I use the exposed methods?
Don't get me wrong, I love the app and the idea. It's just the description in the Google play store seems stupid to me. Here is what I'm talking about;

Unfortunately, XDA isn't God. As such, we are limited in what we can and cannot do. Please read this!
- There is no way to make a space for the pill
- We cannot detect the presence of a keyboard
- We cannot directly detect changes in full screen mode
- Screen off and screenshot actions are only possible with root
My problem is with the first two "restrictions" which I feel like there are ways around.
First off the space for the pill....
Instead of disabling the nav bar with this adb command:
Code:
adb she'll am overscan 0,0,0,-202
You could leave it there and disable each individual button on the nav bar. I know this can be done because this is a feature of Custom Navbar app (Screenshots for proof). Then you could display the pill Navbar overtop of the empty space. You can display stuff over the Navbar. Rounded screen corner apps do this. If you did this the keyboard would display above the Navbar, and then you wouldn't have that issue either. It just seems like they don't want to try it....
And what's up with "this app doesn't work on Android P Dev preview? The command I listed earlier works fine when you turn off the gesture Navbar. Have they changed the way overlays work in Android P? I don't think so because all in one gestures still works.
I am honestly thinking of using Tasker scene to create my own pill Navbar above the blank Navbar as a proof of concept.
I tried to use it and these are my openions
It also overlapsthe screen content
Having a pill is pointless, it exists now only as a step to the no pill nav gestures that are going to be in Android Q. Can't alienate casual users by changing too much too fast unless your Apple after all. However that may be there are a half dozen apps on the market that do what they say can't be done; OnePlus gestures for example that costs you a buck fifty. Color me unimpressed with the XDA gestures.
Also got it to ignore that I was on Android P and let me set up the app. Screen shots of it working on Android P
