Samsung Smart Select on any device? Screenshot Crop. - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Apologize if this is out of place. I love my 6P. I've rooted, custom rom, xposed, everything customized to my liking. the only thing I miss from my Galaxy Note 5 is the Smart Select feature... is there any app or xposed framework that will allow me to select which part of the screen to screenshot without having to save a screenshot , then go into an editing tool an cropping it? Is there an easier way I'm just missing?
Thanks guys.

[Q] Blu Kuban Multi Screen Question

First off what an awesome ROM! Just rooted my new S4 and love everything.
However, while playing around with the multi-screen function I noticed that no apps and be added. After seeing the update to the Samsung multi screen app in the ROM updater, I attempted the update but still cant add apps to the menu. Is this how it should be or am I missing a step?
Go to system settings/ my device/ multi window and enable the apps you want to use. Then you can add them to the window.

(found here: http://www.xda-developers.com/xposed-modules-to-install-right-now-on-lollipop )
App Settings [Lollipop Alternative by rovo89] [1]:
This was by far one of my favorite Xposed modules back when I wasn’t running Lollipop, and certainly the one I missed the most. With this baby you can change DPI per app (which allows you to keep whatever DPI you want on the rest of the SystemUI), as well as the application’s font scale, immersive mode, RAM pinning, and insistent notifications for those that don’t want to miss their valentine’s texts (and lose their heads over it).
Xposed GEL Settings [1][2]:
For those fans of the “pure Google experience”, this module can let you further customize your Google Launcher by letting you hide the search bar or individual applications, change grid, icon and text sizes, remove labels and more. It doesn’t make it quite as flexible as Nova, but it’s definitely a good module to have for those that love the Google integration of their launcher, and the cleanness and optimization of it.
RootCloak [1]:
Some apps detect root and either prevent access or limit your features as a preemptive method for security. While it is understandable some might want to further fortify their application, us XDA tinkerers can be left out of services due to this. This module hides root for the apps you choose, simple as that. We can’t specifically tell you what to use this module for, but if you’ve had problems like this before, look no further.
Advanced Power Menu+ [1]: This module lets you customize the power menu of your phone to add or remove items in any order you want. There are extra reboot options (soft boot, recovery boot, bootloader), a screenshot option, a quick-dial to call whoever, some connection toggles and a handy flashlight. I always have advanced power menus on my phones, and an Xposed module alternative is much easier than flashing additional zip’s. If this doesn’t work for you, the new Lollipop Power Menu module might.
XToast [1]:
This was one of my favorites back then, as it lets you add the Toast notification’s app origin into the message box by adding the corresponding app’s icon. That in itself makes it useful, but you can also customize said icon and add the name, or change the toast style back to older versions. The duration, transparency and where it appears also can be chosen. Basically, toasts are at your control to make them more informative and personal. You won’t know how awesome it is until you try it!
Lollipop Notification Ticker [1]:
This one was meant to restore the ticker on the status bar that informed you of the contents of your latest notifications. It was made before Xposed for Lollipop came out, which was a daring move that worked… partially. According to reports, it breaks heads-up notifications alongside fixing the ticker. If you dislike those in the first place, though, you might want to give it a try.
Native Clip board [1]:
Copying and pasting on smartphones was never the most fluid thing, nor the most consistent. This module adds clip-board management straight to the text-selection menu, and it allows you to theme the new menu, black-list apps and further customize it. If you happen to be working on your phone because there’s a document you might need to edit on the bus, this will prove useful.
BootManager :
A must-have to those that want their device to be slim and efficient on boot. This module allows you to select which applications run when you power up your device, and those that don’t get allowed to do so usually stay dormant until you fire them up. If you’ve got a good amount of things that you don’t need right away but are hesitant to greenify, this can alleviate the dilemma of your user experience.

I followed all steps correctly. I have a Moto E XT1022 running Android 5.0.2. I first installed apk and then went to twrp to falsh the zip file. It flashed without any problem. Then I wiped the Cache and Dalvik-Cache. Then I rebooted my phone to system but it didn't. It was stuck at the bootloader unlocked warning. I am able to go to bootloader and to the recovery but I am unable to boot into the system. Please help.

No I hadn't taken a backup and lollipop rom wasn't flashing. What I did was downgrade it to 4.4.4 and then updated it to 5.0.2 and then rooted it!! I guess I had to pay for not taking a backup!!! Anyway, thanks for your help.

Thanks . Actually I was looking for a different answer. I know that the only method to uninstall is to flash ROM again , but I thought probably I was missing something. Anyway Thanks a lot.

Can't rearrange icons in Apps view

Hello,
I just got a second hand G901F with Lollipop 5.0.2; did factory reset, rooted, and deleted some bloatware (GALAXY Apps Widget, Flipboard, Samsung account, Samsung Apps, TalkBack and so on).
Next step: Setting Google Now Launcher. But after installing it from the App Store I realised that it does not appear in Home>Settings (Just the TouchWiz Home and the TouchWiz easy home) ; so I can't no select it.
Then is when I noticed that I can not rearrange the icons in "Apps". I click in the top right button, then "Edit" and then if I try to drag any App it says "Unable to rearrange icons in alphabetical order".
No ABC or Alphabetical order option appears.
I had the previous version (G900F) and I didn't have any problem like this.
Thanks and sorry if as I guess it's just a stupid thing I did wrong.
Maybe you deleted something during the de-bloating that it needs?
Try resetting again, rearrage with 100% stock, then you'll know if there is a problem or not
Also, 6.0.1 Marshmallow is released for that model now too

OK... I factory format it again. Now I have all the bloatware back.
I can now use Google Now launcher, but still cant rearrange the icons.
Am I missing any configuration option or something like that?
Any help?

[Quick Fix] Themed Navigation Keys XA Ultra

Hey guys, we all know that the navigation keys of the Xperia XA Ultra don't change in accordance with xperia themes.
Thankfully there is an easy solution available (you need recovery to install the xposed framework).
Steps:
1. Install Xposed.
2. Install Super User Mode X by Serajr from here, it will disable signature comparison for any custom signed apk.
3. Open Xposed Installer and activate Super User Mode X module.
4. Restart your mobile.
Note:
Themes compiled with 6.0 sdk will show stock navigation keys in home and menu screens.​
Sorry for the silly question but, does this mean only rooted phones have access to this?
I've tried several old themes and most of them keep the stock keys, but a small number do change them. I wonder why that is.

Yes you must have unlocked bootloader and TWRP recovery installed as well as rooted phone to do this.
I just use substratum + navigation theme tho.
your lucky cause nougat XZ and XAU are not substratum friendly
hi thanks..
is it work on N?
how do you change native navbar theme on the N? the original navbar is too big & pretty annoying

I was basically looking for a transparent navigation bar. Does your process allow me to do so ?
I use another app that is frowned upon on xda, that does this automatically. But yes superuser mod is a must for substratum. No signature verification allows the overlay

[Tutorial] How to install Google Play on H2OS 2.5 using OpenGapps

I was so happy that OP finally released H2OS 2.5, this one is probably the best ROM with custom UI, unlike MIUI or Flyme, it is still in Material Language. However, after a clean flash, I found it is not pre-installed entire google service and it doesn't work well with OpenGapps. Here is the tutorial.
Before I start, make sure you have installed a custom recovery like TWRP. If not, go to twrp.me and flash the recovery via fastboot. And BTW, plz forgive my poor English, if there are any mistakes, leave the comments blow, Thank you!
1. Install H2OS 2.5(I believe you already did this) and Root package.
2. After the setup, reboot to Recovery, choose Mount - System. then flash OpenGapps, in this step, I suggest you guys choose Nano version, mini version will replace the stock calendar with Google Calendar and other variants of Gapps will replace more stock apps.
3. Go to Advanced - File Manager, delete /system/priv-app/SetupWizard/setupwizard.apk
DO THIS NO MATTER YOU CAN ACCESS GOOGLE OR NOT, OTHERWISE YOU WILL NOT ENTER LAUNCHER!
4. After the reboot, Install and Open Titanium Backup, Tap Backup/Restore and you will find several Google-related apps are frozen, tap those and defrost them.
5. Convert Google Contacts Sync into user-app, after that go to Settings - Apps - Google Contacts Sync - Permissions, grant the permission on read contacts.
6. Reboot and Enjoy, don't forget use a proxy if you are in China!​
----------------------------
To enable Screen Search (Google Now on Tap), go to Settings - Buttons - Home Button, Long Press Action - Search Assistant.
If your phone still can't work somehow, try following steps.
1. Install and Open Nova Launcher, long press screen - Widgets - Activities. Then choose Settings - Assist & Voice input
2. Open this shortcut, tap Assist app and choose None, after that tap Assist app again and switch back to Google app.​
OP made their own Default App selection interface, so you can't go to Settings - Apps - Gear Icon - Default apps to select correct search assistant. That's why we need Nova Launcher to open this interface.
Screen Search should work then.
I already installed it using the Google Installer APK, so this method is of no use to me, but I sincerely hope it benefits several others.
Wow, you really seem to know your way around H2OS.
Could you help me with a problem I've been facing? I installed Pixel Launcher, and there's a hideous blue portion of the wallpaper that I can't remove. I understand you need to switch to the OnePlus Launcher to modify the wallpaper, so I switched to the OnePlus Launcher, changed the wallpaper, but the blue portion still persists.

There are additional options when changing wallpapers in the h2os launcher. I don't think you can entirely get rid of the colour blending at the bottom but you can change the colour and the area it covers. The one exception I have found is the Google wallpapers app, that is full screen.
My notifications don't sync with my android wear. Do you maybe have a fix for this, since this is the only reason I can't use H2os
