Do you use the Edge panel or do you have it disabled? Maybe you have it Enabled but found you don't use it. or did you disable it straight away but you didn't think you'd use it.
I enabled it for 2 days but found I wasn't using it so I disabled it. However, I'm thinking of re-enabling it and trying to get used to using it, I think I wasn't using it because I'm not used to it so I might just give it another try.
Yes I do: helps reduce my home screen clutter.

It was definitely one of those features that you go "meh, sounds like a silly gimmick" but after spending some time configuring it to taste I have changed my POV to "hmm, this actually may be a useful addition to the UX" ... we shall see, only had the device 36 hours after all.

I may give that a try myself.
I use it because I use themer and want quick access to all my apps. I don't like scrolling the app drawer either so I keep the edge on with categorize folders. This is my homescreen and the app edge.
I use it when I want to pull up an app while I'm already in another app. Saves me from going home and looking for it.
I have an S6 Edge+ (still no mm ;-; ) and rarely use it. Maybe the updated panel will push me to use it, who knows

Just a tip, remove all the apps from the edge and start adding apps one by one but keep categories in mind. Some apps don't really have categories but the more you make you'll find a place for them. You can also change the color of the folder in the upper right when the folder is created.

Samsung Galaxy II update to increase the size of icons
Even if Samsung were stupid enough to actually do this (and they aren't), you could just use an alternative boot loader (which most of us do anyway).
If you're on this forum, and still using a stock Samsung firmware, then what's wrong with you?
Number of rows on the homescreen is not hard to change, i am sure there will be a mod out within days to change it.
There will also be alternative launchers, tw4.5 etc.

Maybe its a good thing cos my grandad needs a new phone anyway and the bigger icons will be just what he needs.Now i know what Im gonna get him for xmas
Optional or not. If disliked there are multiple launchers on the market to replace the factory one..beauty of Android.
LCD Density Changer and ADW Launcher is all you need.
Just change the DPI of your screen. 240 is WAYY too high for such a big beautiful screen. It's like running 800x600 on a 24" 1080P monitor. 190 is a lot nicer and more crisp. You can use Rom Toolbox from the market to achieve this. Root required.

If that's the only reason you need the lock screen password then yes I can confirm once again that it works. Just follow the thread.
Another option is to use WidgetLocker. Then you would have the lockscreen Dashclock and a customizable unlock slider, and then a password/pattern lock screen afterwards. This is what my wife uses, and it works well.

Not the same. The lockscreen is a bit more convenient IMO. Quick glance would require an extra step to unlock the phone.

Some of us want to make our phones as good as they can be FOR US. This is what this whole site is about. DEVELOPING ways to IMPROVE our phones.

Everyone has their issues in life. Mine are fairly minor. I'm just not big on stopping progress just because I feel the immediate effects are useless. To me the end result could be something amazing. This might end up inspiring someone to get AOSP lockscreen working, or even someone to learn to code etc. Basically I see it as an opportunity. I took your comment the same way I take people who dont want to research basic science or ways to save certain animals from extinction etc because they dont see the immediate point. Of course this is much less important but the thought process seemed the same "I wont benifit in the next few days, who cares". I try to allow my mind to stay open, and to see opportunities were ever they appear. I dont honestly think 5 threads about bootloaders aee needed or the AdamOutler's thread is needed yet (I personally would have waited until Dan released his hack to expect the theead to stay on topic since so many people laced so much hope on Dan that theybare foing to talk about it every were they can.) But I dont go around telling these people they are wrong and their issues unimportant. I let the threads be and check in from time to time to see if anything meaningful has occured. Maybe it's just the American in me be I perfer to let people have their important issues and help those I can and those I agree with while not bothering those whom I can't help or those whom I don't agree with.

I like widgetlocker. Only issue I have is sometimes it does not load, or is slow to load. These are nit to bad though and this is what is holding me over until I can mess around and try to enable AOSP lockscreen.
Now after many of you guys who could have the tablet already were able to root and remove your bloat , so after rooting and being able to customize your tablet and DPI etc. how is it with the tablet going for you ? Would appreciate you sharing your experience so far
p.s ... this baby will cost a solid 1000$ in my country for LTE model .
It's definitely more responsive after freezing a bunch of unnecessary (for me anyway) applications.
For me my primary reason for purchasing was for s-pen in a large form factor. Based on that I expected to just de-bloat and use stock s-pen applications. I have no interest in any other Android tablet at this time.
Question is sort of odd though; I wouldn't expect a lot of people to have gone through the hard decision of rooting such an expensive device and then say they felt it wasn't worth it.

well its not that odd bc its not just about the money etc its about the whole experience etc and what could you get out of the tablet with the more real estate and i have seen some people regretting buying it etc. am a junior architect and i was waiting for something that big to use it with the s-pen too .. in my place you wouldn't be able to resell the tablet if you didn't like it or didn't get what you expect from it etc even i watched many reviews about it and sounds pretty interesting the limitations around me makes me have some concerns thats it
Right, my point is the "is it worth it" evaluation for a person who has rooted their device will have already occurred before rooting so of course you'll get more responses in the affirmative. I suppose it's not impossible that some will chime in to say that even after rooting it's unacceptable. ...perhaps odd is the wrong thing to say...just don't expect a majority of people who have rooted to tell you that they wish they hadn't.

It's sometimes good to freeze (at least as a test-bed) because some apps no matter how innocuous they may seem could be an integrated part of the system. Removing them might break functionality within other apps or even the system itself. For example, on some systems if you remove the pre-installed file manager because you prefer another (Solid Explorer RULES!), it might break the Gallery app which could interfere with setting wallpapers even from other apps. That example - from my phone.
I want root to address the following things...
1. Remove multiwindow application restrictions
2. Use LMT or similar launcher for home, back, menu, etc.
3. Change the DPI (smaller icons, more real estate).
4. Backup/restore with Titanium Backup
5. freeze/remove system apps/bloat.
6. Install AOSP browser w/Flash
Rooting I noticed nothing different. I installed xposed and wanam to get the things I like. The main thing that changed was I lost the symbols on my keyboard. I can still get them by hitting the sym key, but can't long press the letter keys to get the symbol. It doesn't matter what language it's set to, they are not there.
Also, my video player developed an issue when it set to fullscreen. Lines through it and very choppy.
So I have un installed wanam and exposed, and video is normal, but still no symbols. Had them out of the box.
Thinking about Un rooting to see if it fixes the issue on the keyboard.

Yea, I can understand that. This is stock Android though and I don't believe that's been native before, which is fine. At least with this setup, you get what you want depending on the app. I don't use Snapchat or FB Messenger so idk their behavior with this. For me, badges display for Gmail and Messenger (texts) even if I swipe away the notification.

Nexus 6P has basic android installed. The way it works for Google, notifications show up on top. That's why they didn't mind making a notification badge.

Why post if you have nothing helpful to say nor can you see why this would be an issue for some people? Some OEM's have this out of the box on their phones. Stock Android does not. I prefer to see the number of unread texts, emails, or calls on their respective apps so I can make sure to check them when I can at work. My mentality is, why keep a cluttered status bar/notification tray? This makes incoming messages more difficult to see.

What happened?
You know you can manually change it in settings
click one the "OnePlus 5". All the OnePlus devices will pop up, and select OnePlus 5.
It's because you restored the app data from a OnePlus One backup. Wipe XDA app data and it should pick up the correct values.

Like others have mentioned, you can manually select OP5 as your device. The latest test build (opt in through Settings) has an updated device lib though and should detect your device. A new updated beta will be out tonight (supporting the op5) for what it's worth.
Let me know if it's not. Feel free to drop by the Labs telegram and ping me. You can check your model number against the device name here at the open source Device Registry.

You asked if people use labs and I told you they do. It also happens to be a battery efficient app. (Since you were, you know, posting about [battery] efficiency)

Nah it did work, just clicked and changed I just found it odd that it didn't do it from the off.
All good now cheers mate. :good:
PS: the XDA app is one of the few social apps I do actually use, I have used the browser in the past but it's not as efficient for use as the app.

Aye it's decent enough fella, be nice to select text on the fly though or to share a specific post via its actual line number.
Ways around it though I suppose.
In regards to power consumption, it's not anywhere near the top of my battery hog list so I'm not too worried about that.

Aye, unfortunately sharing by post line would mean we'd have to use some kind of complex anchor system since each person's device (or PC) could show different text depending on the resolution, etc.
As for copying text, we had to get rid of inline long press due to an Android bug. Instead you can long press on a post and select copy text, then copy from the dialog that pops up.

It's because you restored the app data from a OnePlus One backup. Wipe XDA app data and it should pick up the correct values.
