1. Where do I find Cell Broadcasting? I didnt find it on my gingerblur settings. I need to disable it because it getting me problems with SMS.
2. I have the stock camera app and camera360. On stock, it appears to have photos on widescreen, but on camera 360, it not. There is any way to set this?
3. The "Locate My Phone" on Motoblur website doesnt work anymore, there is anyway to make it works on gingerblur? I dont want to restore all motorola bloatware.
2. In Normal mode (at least) you can press the gear icon at the top right and then the icon that has the word SIZE. In either drop down (you want Other Mode) there is a widescreen choice, but as you can see all you're doing is losing pixels by cropping the image to be widescreen. Why do you need that? If you really want you can crop it later on. The stock app crops as well btw.
Sorry for long time. I'm talking about before you take the shot, the image is displayed on a square box on center of your screen, and stock app display the image on all of your screen.
Also, i still with problem of Cell Broadcasting.
for me its under wireless & networks settings

See the little arrow on the right hand side of the screen in stock camera? Pull that across and set it to 5megapixels, its currently set for widescreen.
Thanks... now i see, but i didn't like it >_>
@y2whisper
Yes, Motorola Support says that for me too, but i think because i use GingerBlur or something it doesn't appears... So i'm trying to find any other way to edit it, via SQL or build.prop but i didn't found where this setting is placed.
@EDIT
I found a way to edit cell broadcast.
1. You should have root explorer and SQLite
2. Goto to /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/
3. Open settings.db
4. goto SECURE
5. edit "cdma_cell_broadcast_sms" to 0.
6. Save
7. Reboot.
I dont know if it will stop my duplicating sms, but i tested here and didn't bricked the phone
Now i need a reply to my question 3.
Rooting the mobile looks so complex compared to my GS2 where It is all automatic and simple. I've read the guide and it's way over my head, I'm sorry but stupid people exist and the guide is not easy to follow in the slightest.
I just want to make it so if I have two fingers side by side and I swipe up and down, it hides and reveals the on screen buttons. Obviously I don't want it to be one finger as you use one finger for many things on the screen, however two would be perfect for this function.
I don't understand why google haven't done or just built hardware buttons in the bottom part that has no function other than a tiny led which should be at the top really. I just want to be able to hide them simply like this without any cumbersome apps installed or having to root and use some crazy rom which is so complex to do on this phone.
Is it possible at all to make the phone function like this?
As far as I know, there's no way to do that on the stock ROM.
You could use either of these toolkits to unlock and root this phone. They're both really easy to use and the instructions are precise.

After unlocking, rooting and installing a custom recovery, you can then flash a ROM that supports expanded desktop. I know paranoidandroid does and perhaps other ROMs do as well. I'm not sure of any of them allow the nav buttons to be hidden by a gesture but there's usually an option in the power menu to expand the desktop and maybe there's even a way to allow gestures to do it with a mod or launcher or something. But that would only be possible on a custom ROM that allows this in the first place.
Edit: Here's another even simpler root solution

What is the difference between unlock and root and do you have to do both?
Ain't there no way just to like download a registry file like Windows and suddenly it'll have the function?
People always go on about Stock Android but it's ****, touchwiz would never have these stupid onscreen buttons and not let you hide them.
Rooting Nexus devices is literally the SIMPLEST thing to do. Quite simply, if you don't know how to root a Nexus device, you shouldn't have one.

I've used your second link which was easy enough.
However I have no idea how to install a Rom on this device.
Seriously with the GS2 the only thing I can remember doing was using Odin, it was so easy.
Is there nothing easy I can install after this instead of having to load Paranoid Android which I have no clue how to do?

I use secure settings and tasker to hide them while in car dock mode. Works pretty well. Make sure you have the option in the power menu though or you will not be getting out of it unless you have an exit task haha.

I used to have a galaxy s and a galaxy s2. I used to use odin and flash ROMs the way you claim is 'easy'. Trust me, ever since i got my galaxy nexus, and now the N4, the thought of going back to the odin days makes me shudder.
Flashing roms and kernels on nexus devices is so much easier and hassle free. All you need is the custom recovery on your phone and you'll never need to hook it up to a PC again to flash anything. Just download the required ROM files from the thread. Boot into recovery, make a nandroid backup and then flash the ROM zips. Do a full data/cache wipe if needed and you're set.
And by the way, there are much more detailed instructions available in this forum if you care to use the search function.

in secure setting it falls under "custom ROM" category so there is no way to do it in stock?

Do I need to make a Backup? Just this phone has such small storage.
Can't I just flash a stock rom later if I need to send it back?
Trust downloading a file, loading it in Odin and clicking a button is much easier than this lol. Never even knew what Custom Recovery was or any of this stuff lol.
Start learning and reading rather than throwing your hands up exclaiming "it's hard" and walking away.
The info is literally all available in the stickied guide at the top of this forum.
If you try as you read...you'll have no problem doing it.
I've literally sat my incompetent mother down...the woman who didn't realize you had to SWIPE to answer a phone call...and was unable to answercalls for over a year on her Droid X because of it...
I opened my guide and told her to take my stock phone and unlock and get a ROM running on it.
Took her less than an hour.
And touch wiz wouldn't have this stupid implementation?
On screen keys are going to be on more than just nexus devices someday.
You're the one who doesn't understand it.
Post two of the guide.
Get your learn on.
If you think stock android is ****, why bother buying the phone and not an S3? Odin is such a pain in the ass because you have to be tied to a computer and Odin files are upwards of 600mb. How you had an S2 and never used anything other than Odin is amazing because any ROM worth flashing on the i9100 was flashed through recovery.
There is no way to hide the buttons with a gesture. Follow the toolkit to root and unlock, then spend five minutes learning to flash a ROM and flash one with expanded desktop.

Curious about that as well.
SIII is an excellent phone.
I suggest OP returns this one and picks the SIII up.
But actually...
There kind of is a NavBar toggle gesture possibility.
AOKP has a navbar toggle as an "AOKP Action."
You can then use a LMTPie gesture to set that action.
Or wait a couple weeks until the upcoming NavRing without NavBar is finished and use the custom NavRing action to set the toggle...
You can currently do this, really. But turning it back on would require a long press of the power button and tapping the toggle.

I hope you must have learned to root your phone now.
This app - GMD GestureControl will give you an option to use the entire screen, and use various multi-finger gestures instead. However, I am not aware of any single ROM/APP which will give you an option to hide on screen buttons based on gesture.
Your options are:
1. Use an app [forgot the name, will let you know if you are interested], which will disable your onscreen buttons, and then use GMD GestureControl for interacting with the screen.
2. Custom ROM's such as Cyanogenmod, AOKP, PA etc, which have an option to hide your onscreen buttons on long pressing the power button. [ pressing the power button shows the on-screen buttons again].
3. PA additionally has an option to disable/enable on-screen buttons based on the application. [for eg. you can disable it for all games/image viewer etc.]
PS: Please note I am using Galaxy SII and am yet to receive the device. So, whatever I stated is based on reading about it. Haven't really tried any of those stuffs. So, others please correct me if I am wrong.
the aokp rom has aokp actions. nova prime launcher has getsure control that can use the aokp action to toggle dock.
I'm have slight buyers remorse, but I have a few more days till I can't return it for a full refund. I hoping to find out if any of the issue I have with the Note 3 or more accurately touchwiz will be able to be solved. I'm coming from a history of running customs ROMS on my galaxy S1 and galaxy S2, most of the time cyaogenmod. Lucky I find touchwiz has improved but here are my over all gripes:
Can't change the vibration pattern for notifications, most importantly text messages and emails. You can create customs patterns but they are only for calls. This is my biggest problem right now. And the fact that clearing a message from the notification bar doesn't mark it as read is annoying.
I would love on screen buttons, with this much screen restate it's a great phone for on screen buttons, I also find getting low enough to press the capacitive buttons with my thumb and still holding the phone a bit difficult and I think I would have no trouble if there was on screen buttons. - SoftKey Enabler, requires root- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fatedevgroup.softkeyenabler&feature=search_result

How likely is it that my gripes with touchwiz can be fixed, yet still stay on touchwiz framework due to not wanting to lose functionality?

Edited with solutions in blue. I haven't tried them yet
If you open Magazine and hit menu, then choose Settings, you can turn the double home press off from in there.
The swipe from the bottom gesture can't be disabled short of doing something like freezing Magazine with Titanium Backup.

A fwlew of these things are easily fixed with xposed wanam module. You need to be rooted though. As for Google voice, freeze svoice (maybe you can just clear defaults, but I froze it) then when you double tap home, you'll be given options in what you want that to do.

looking how to change these. hmm
Hello there,
Today I went with a friend of mine and bought him a brand new LG G3, I played with the phone a bit, and I really liked the "double tap" feature where you can lock or wake the phone up without having to press the power button every time you wish to unlock the phone.
My question is, is it possible to implement this setting in the Note 4? (N910C)
and if it is developed or under development, can anyone suggest a kernel/mod/rom that has that feature...
Thanks guys.
it's just a simple question and I'm new here :/
can't anyone suggest something?
I would be appreciate it.
Nope and nope for both of your questions.

hi,
just a quick point. /and question ?
Why do i want to double tap to wake etc...? If i have some other good options?
i flip open my S view case, to wake my device (without touching my screen etc) To put my phone to sleep i can either also double tap screen (Screen off app on Play market) or slide my finger (along top right side)(GMD app.. need root) on screen.. same effect?
To me its just as cool !
(Just some other cool methods!)
Good luck

Well, yeah I know these options and about those apps, all of these apps have one thing, they can lock the screen and not wake it up.
Its not that I will need this feature in anyway.. was just asking if it's possible to implement it through the kernel or a rom, or if its a hardware sensor thing..
because I was wondering, how would a phone wake up from an "OFF" screen with tapping on it, if there wan't any sensor to detect it..
and I wanted to see how would that work on a phone that never had that feature before such as samsung.
Thanks for your answer.
PM: I don't have a samsung phone, my question was for educational purpose as I'm doing electrical engineering.
Yes, it's totally possible, and has been added to many custom ROMs for many different devices.
Actually, to be more accurate, it's added to the kernel. So basically just look at all the custom kernels that are available for you, and see if any have that feature. If not, you could always ask a kernel developer nicely, or offer to donate a little if they'd add it for you..
This is a discussion to compare these two systems for our phone who has more new and practical function.

What future settings you get on cm expect the smooth, regarding a stock based rom can you be more detailed
These are my experiences based on months of G4 (H815) use with both stock-based (Imperium and Genisys) and CM13.
Stock-Based ROM:
- Amazing camera, especially if you can properly use manual mode
- Good audio quality
- Still has more bloatware than needed (even the best ones like Imperium)
- Slower security patches
CM13:
- Noticeably smoother and lighter
- More battery
- Camera is still very good but you lose manual mode
- Very fast security updates (like google nexus)
- Will soon be updated to Android 7.0 Nougat
- Zero bloatware
- Audio quality is slightly lower
Hope this will help you!
Ps: both stock based and CM13 right now are 100% stable, if you hear people having issue they either 1) Haven't clean flashed or 2) they don't have H815

With some apps yes
This is the wrong forum/place for this topic, but I'll throw my 2 cents out there as well. Everyone's phone is different, so I will try to simply point out software only differences. Also not to try and repeat what "marn3us" stated above. Pretty sure H815 or H811 don't matter, not with the comparison below.
For me, I really like the following
STOCK:
-In call floating pop up. Simply best feature I know, have not seen it on anything else really. While other end is ringing or talking, you can multi task and almost instantly get back to the call when they pick up or you're done doing other things. Sure w.out that floating bubble, one could pull down the notif panel but I personally find the bubble a bit more convenient (esp how you can move it around).
-VoLTE. I have LTE everywhere I live, so I like to take advantage of that. Also WifiCalling if I need it
-Lockscreen. I love how it works. If I have my phone in my pocket and somehow the screen gets turned on while I am trying to pull it out, if I accidentally tap a notification it does not automatically open. Stock lockscreen requires one tap of notif + full swipe then it will open that notif app. No way of accidentally opening apps showing notifications. Non-stock, double tap any notif and it opens...some ROMs are worse than others, with a broken prox sensor allowing you to open notifs even with screen off in your pocket...making all sorts of pocket activity (calls/text/etc.). The stock way of 'Click + Swipe below' for me works great. Also the prox sensor works 100% on stock ROMs so 100% of time in your pocket it will never have pocket action.
-Lockscreen Pt2: Double-tap to wake/sleep. Works almost every single time. I love the dt2s on LS (some ROMS do have this but with the bad way of simply double-tap a notif to open [on non-stock roms] sometimes I'll double tap the notification instead of turning my screen back off...errr.)
-Data/Service. I find stock has a much better response to reception. In some dead-zone places (like a basement), I have very low service. With non-stock, I almost always lose service completely in same area. Then it doesn't come back until I airplane toggle/leave dead-zone. Stock seems to give better reception everywhere.
-Incom Call Pop-up: Very nice with the ability to simply hide the pop-up and let the phone keep ringing. I found on non-stock there is no way to hide the pop up (actually maybe by a swipe now I think about it, though does that decline the call?).
For me, those 4-5 things are the main points why I cannot use anything other than Stock. Also for me, stock works perfectly fine. No lag and everything just works (I clear recents and restart every couple of days). I try new builds of non-stock all the time, a day or 2 then realize I am missing my fav features above so then I go back. I recently found out the LG SmartWorld app allows you to theme some parts of the UI (icons, fonts, some colors, etc.)..combined with the Tweaksbox, you can do some good Stock changes.
I never really had a problem with lag/performance. I also always used the Imperium kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/orig-development/kernel-imperium-kernel-g4-v1-0-t3282915 which seems to always do well for my phone. I also turn animations down to .5 in dev options, everytime I flash stock...makes it much quicker. I also know with stock, it's pretty much all optimized code for our phone...AOSP based miss a bunch of proprietary code which I think takes out some of the potential of this phone. Wish every company was like 1+, dev friendly.

1) proximity sensor works great in CM13 as well, it's just turned off by default
Also, lockscreen in cm13 is faster than stock (less touch/swipe) and nothing of what you described (like app opening in pocket or similar) can happen because you have proximity sensor AND you must input the passcode before doing anything.
2) Double tap to sleep and double tap to wake work perfectly fine both in stock and cm13, no difference to me.
3) Data/service signal is exactly the same, works great both with cm13 and stock. Maybe you had older modem/baseband when you tried cm?
4) If you get a call in cm13 and want to let it ring while using the phone you can simply press home button and it'll return to home screen like any other app (leaving the call in the background).
5) Stock roms are quite laggy (except for genisys that is decent and imperium which is very good) but CM13 is noticeably faster
6) Proprietary code has an impact almost only on camera (no manual mode and slightly lower "auto" camera quality) and audio.
This is not meant to criticize stock roms (I have used imperium for months and I still switch to it when i travel and want amazing manual pictures). I was just saying that not all of your points were very accurate.

1) proximity sensor works great in CM13 as well, it's just turned off by default
Also, lockscreen in cm13 is faster than stock (less touch/swipe) and nothing of what you described (like app opening in pocket or similar) can happen because you have proximity sensor AND you must input the passcode before doing anything.

Ok. Your phone is your phone. And passcode? When did I say I used one?
Everything you just 'defended' non-stock for, I disagree 100%. I made my points for a reason.
For my phone, what I said was accurate. If stock doesn't work for you like that then you got a defunct phone.

LOL, passcodes were invented for a reason
You look like a guy who doesn't pay much attention while reading other's posts so please stop posting here, we were trying to help the OP get *CORRECT* information to base his decision upon.
I said that both stock and CM13 work FLAWLESSLY on my phone and that CM13 does NOT have all those problems you invented. Thus, if your phone had those problems and mine does not, it is YOUR phone the "defunct" one, not mine (or you just made mistakes when flashing, which is more likely).
Let's not continue this discussion and focus on helping the OP please
Please this discussion need to be more detailed for app and settings that have this to roms cm and stock based with port features. in the end this is the reason for root or unlock our phone to get mor function and performance.

The biggest points for stock IMO:
One handed mode
Better camera quality and manual mode, the LG camera app really good takes fullest advantage of its hardware.
As for better sound quality, when I was using imperium Viper4android was included and CM includes AudioFX.
It might come down to better quality earphones.
CM 14 it´s out???

I have only run stock so far since there is no root for marshmallow which my phone had out of the box when I got it a month ago. It's an h812 Canadian variant which is good in one way... absolutely nothing preinstalled by my carrier (Koodo). A couple apps from LG, so almost no bloatware. I can't complain about the stock rom other than certain things that are annoying that aren't there on most custom AOSP or cm Roms (toggling sync on or off brings up a big read me that I have to agree to) and automatic prevention of hearing loss by always dropping my volume down.
I still prefer cm13 based like my moto x 2014 is running but I don't know if I'll ever have that option, or even want to since the camera is one of the few major improvements from my old phone.

Also to add...cm13 on my moto x and the other day helping my friend survey his property in the wilderness, very little reception and putting my sim card back in the moto x got me enough reception to run the tinder app, Facebook and YouTube which refused to load on the g4.
Not saying it's because of cm but the moto x was better despite having cm.
And the moto x is now my music player and the quality sounds better even on cm compared to stock g4 which gives me more reason to be able to try cm on the g4 since I don't use it for music as much right now anyway.
I like stock LG ui and with Genesis theme (UX 5) it's just marvellous
love stock for camera and stability. i would go AOSP if no more updates were avaiblefor my phone and the AOSP would make run better then i would.. iin my opinion AOSP for phones that arent no longer supported of end up in a rom that has bugs
