Brightness slider on the notification bar

The GS1 and GS2 had the ability to adjust the screen brightness by sliding your finger across the notification bar. I've seen that in some GS3 custom roms, this feature was added. You had the ability to toggle this feature on or off under a certain subsetting in settings.
Is there a way to add this feature without loading a custom rom? I use it every day on my Epic. Thanks

I really miss this option also!
I think the only way we will be able to get this back is through a custom ROM.

not on stock rom =(

This feature alone will drive me to a custom ROM, but only after the capability to wipe flash counter and go back to stock, in case of warranty need.

Saw this post in the I9300 thread. Scroll all the way down. Someone recommended an app called Display Brightness will do the trick. Works really well I might add.

Had to make mine thicker by sliding the top slider almost halfway. Every thing else I made completely transparent. Its even easier when you see the bar slightly though but I don't like seeing it.

It's very good.

So no LED on back for Verizon?

If I have one, mine is not blinking.

It works on mine, no real need for it though.

Wonder if I need to turn it on....Blinking on front....not on back. I have it flipped on screen and nothing.

Make a call and see if it comes on. During the call it should slowly pulsate.

Light flow works fine on mine so far. Not rooted. tried to get access to the back power button light but couldnt get it working

haven't tried lightflow because it never worked on my GS3/GS4, and i only used it on my nexus back when i bought it...mainly bc there was some bad battery drain issues apparently.
wonder if they'll update for the back led?

I think I def had battery issues on my GNex (well I think if I moved it i had battery issues), light manager have those same battery drain issues?

Has anyone taken the update yet out of the box?

All it says is "11A".
I deferred it for now until someone has some advise. I don't want to not be able to achieve root or something because I took an update out of the box. Haha

Yeah, definitely going to take me a few days. Came from Droid Turbo and 5.1.
Cool on the update, I figure unless there's some functionality broken out of the box, no need to take it until someone can tell us what it is.

I'm getting constant nag notifications for this. I turned off notifications for updates and it just sits in the notification drawer.
Anyone know how to permanently not take updates so I'm not bothered?

WELCOME TO VERIZON,talk about a double-edged sword:
Great coverage & network (YMMV of course),but,man the rest of their practices,not to mentionusing the bastard CDMA technology,is more than anyone should have to tolerate,especially when no real viable options are available.
Can you not disable VZW's bloatware (VZW apps)?
At minimum,I'd disable DT Ignite,not sure if that will help in the nagging,but,it's one less crapware app needlessly running on your phone..............

I came from a Note 4 and then S7E to the V20. AMOLED has such a tremendous saturation of colors that no LCD will ever be able to compete on that front. But, the brightness level and clarity is about the same. But it has taken me a few days to get back to accepting this as the new norm. Everytime I load CoC I think something is wrong until I remember I'm on a new device.

I took the update. I think it got rid of app pinning in recents.

anyone has LG VS20 VS995 IMEI?

The IMEI is a unique identifier for your phone,no two phones will have the same IMEI,regardless of carrier &/or model:

If you're asking how to find your IMEI,look in SETTINGS > ABOUT PHONE > STATUS

Having some issues

I'm having some concerns. I got the essential phone a few days ago. The first one had a 6 hour screen time, but over 2 days it would not activate on Sprint so Sprint and I agreed to exchange it. The replacement got hot and now I got the 3rd one. This one is really odd now. When it boots up it doesn't automatically download anything. I have to physically unlock it so it can get my emails and all. Then yesterday it had the shortest battery life and demanded downloading apps over WiFi. I let it download all night and it still didn't download everything... and I found the battery really used up badly without even touching the phone. It also won't download software updates claiming it's the latest. Security update is September 5th.
Also... Anyone else notice it states encrypted without actually activating encryption?

I've not had any battery issues, but I just got the phone again yesterday, had to return one because it had a bad microphone. I have noticed, however, that I tend to get notifications when I pick up the phone. Now, like I said, I just got it yesterday, so my experience pool is shallow, but I can't think of a time that notifications were waiting for me when I picked it up rather than showing up when I picked it up - like the movement is kicking something into functioning again.
As for encryption, I think all Android devices are encrypted out of the box now, and have been since Marshmallow? They tried with Lollipop, if I recall, but performance was hurt too much. I think it's a requirement to ship a device with Google's app infrastructure now.

Can anyone confirm that it shows encrypted on thiers too?

I suspect that it's like Nexel and Pixel phones. If so, have to wait for SuperSU and/or factory images, so one can extract the kernel and modify it.

As stated already, all Android devices are encrypted out of the box since marshmallow. So every device running marshmallow and up will say encrypted because it is encrypted be default. There is no way to disable it without a modified boot image.

This is the same for me after each restart. I also have to unlock the phone first. I don't have a problem with that though. I actually prefer it this way in the event that the phone is lost or stolen. It will not be updated without first being unlocked.

Aod , always on display, ambient ?

I see marketing photos with, in my opinion, aod, but then no words about in reviews or in NYC event.
So, does 6t have always on display with time, notification icons, weather maybe? Why OnePlus excluded this info under specs...?

There’s no AOD.
Just an improved ambient display with few more option like pick up the phone or tap the screen and shown ambient display.

Agree, if I need to pick up to check notification, I can as well press side button or sensor to unlock and see notification.
Point is, seeing notification by just glancing at screen.

Agreed! My damn g5 had this. I mean come on

I turned it off on my pixel 2 just to adapt to it before getting the op6t. You just have to double tap to bring the screen up. It's not optimal but you don't have to pick up your phone just to see notifications.
On the other hand if you're far away that's a different story. Either way I'd still order AOD to no AOD.

Yes, they did on OnePlus 6 Oreo, but not yet on Pie

I heard the Magisk module prevents the phone from going into deep sleep so if that is the case, Magisk is not an option.

I don't know much about AOD, but doesn't it prevent deep sleep on all other devices?

With root and the correct rro framework overlay in vendor, we could theoretically have it working. I got it working on the essential, which doesn't offer it either by porting the file from a gsi.

wouldnt AOD cause screen burnin with the op6t since the fingerprint sensor logo is static?

Has anyone tried the AOD apps on the playstore
