Marshmallow Update: Any way to show previews in recent app screen? - Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just updated today to Marshmallow and I noticed that the recent apps screen (overview screen) now only shows an app's icon and title instead of the preview arranged in a card deck as it did in Lollipop. Does anyone know if there is a way to change it back? I didn't see anything in the settings and I'm pretty mystified as to why Samsung would have made this change.

It sounds like a longpress is being registered...either some mod causing it or you're actually longpressing the key. Just a guess though.

Thanks. I did some more digging after you confirmed that wasn't the default behavior. Apparently the not at all usefully named "Good Lock" app has an option under "Advanced Settings>Enable new recents panel" that adds app shortcuts to the bottom at the expense of losing the previews.

[Q] dock

Hello
I have a question. Is it possible to have a dockbar on our x8 that looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And if it is possible, can someone tell me how? (detailed if possible would be nice) =D
Thanks!
Most launcher can do that. If you have the dock image, just set it as custom dock. As for the phone and drawer shortcut, select a blank png.
Look at my signature for an icon thread. You can find similar text icons there.
Cool, but how can i make the phone icon so wide? It seems to me that it takes the space of almost two icons.

[REQUEST] App for honeycomb to remove google searchbar widget from desktop.

Ever since I first got my transformer I've wanted the google search / voice command bar in the top left hand corner of honeycomb's desktop to be gone, but there's been no quick way to remove it.
Picture for reference:

}
Anyone up for the task?
It's not possible to do that, sorry. It's built into the OS code. If you're rooted, you can remove it but it won't give you extra homescreen space anyway.
Except for the Google music widget

Have a look at using another launcher. ADW or Launcherpro are good ones and very customizable.

Yeah bro just dl another launcher lol
If you're rooted, you can remove it...how?

Remove/disable quick-setting toggles (not just S-finder and quick connect)?

I use Power Toggles from the market making the quick-settings toggles unneeded and a huge waste of space. I have searched and tested every S5 xsposed module, but none of them provide the option for removal. Has anyone figured this out yet?
Thanks
You can remove the single line in Alliancerom leaving the button that shows all in place just in case you wanted something

Hiding the top row would be perfect, unfortunately Alliance rom is not yet available on sprint. Can you explain how it's done?

Lightning quick recent apps view, xposed required...

I've been playing around with xposed apps and found xuimod and found a way to change recent app view to classic under framework menu option.
It's extremely quick but no buttons to clear recent apps.
Hope this helps people.

Thanks for the tip! It definitely is faster than the regular one.
Yeah, I'm assuming it's the animation or the way they implemented the look of the recent apps in kit Kat that takes it so long.

Silly question, but does this still allow to "kill" all apps listed from running in background or am I completely misunderstanding it's functionality? Thanks.
Works great thanks and no there is no kill recent app button as op button as op said.

Notification history

Anybody figured out how to view your past or accidentally lost notifications? On other phones you would make a settings shortcut widget for notification history but I don't see that option on this phone. Help?
Late reply i know but i was able to get notification log open on my ZTE Axon 7
First you need Nova Launcher (or something that allows you to shortcut "activities")
Create a widget
Select "Activities" under the nova launcher section and drag it to your home screen
another window will popup, scroll down to Settings
then scroll down to "Notification Log"
and it should look something like this when you open it
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
