Flashlight?

Sorry for the dumb question but where is the flashlight (torch) app/button on the stock Verizon G2? I use it in the morning while collecting my work things so I don't wake the kids but since activating it yesterday I have yet to find it. Help a fellow out if you could.
Thanks

Widgets > Flash. No "app".

Dumb question: and for the international version D802? Mine doesn't seem to have neither App nor Widget. Which one are you guys using?

On D802 it's called Flash as well (under Widgets). Did you freeze or delete system apps?

@nomad4ever, non stock camera app or gallery or frozen?

That's weird. I triple checked in both the app drawer (under widgets and apps) and when long pressing on the desktop to add widgets, but it's just not there. I use Apex Launcher and apps frozen are only Google Chrome and Google Play Books, Music, Newsstand etc. I use the stock camera, the gallery is there, although I use Quickpic. Hmmmmm!

I think the Flash is somehow built into the stock launcher. I noticed this while I was transitioning to Nova launcher. Run LG launcher, I get the flashlight, Nova launcher, no flashlight.
The stock flashlight is a Widget only, you won't find it in apps.

Ah, maybe that explains it! I prefer Apex mainly because I could import my home screen layout of my old GNex (too lazy to set up everything manually again) and due to the more aesthetic folder options.
Gotta find a lean 3rd party Flash then... Alright.

Go into accounts and add HTC Weather Service. Then enable High accuracy in location settings.
Weather will still Force close when you try to open it, but it will show the correct info in Blinkfeed launcher.
If anybody else is have trouble with this, remember to set the Blinkfeed page as home screen in Blinkfeed launcher

This is quite amazing as I said , Please check if you are on ART, and if you are please change that to Dalvik for Prism to be installed.

I'm on dalvik....fully stock....nothing changed

Then there should not be any problems.
Install the framework first, then weather.
Then install the Prismblack.apk
Its bound to work .

Same here,,set on dalvik but cant install launcher.

Nova Launcher Redraws

It seems I'm having problems with Nova launcher with redraws and widgets crashing. This is the same as happened on LGG3 2gb version but I thought the extra RAM would on the N4 would stop this.Anyone else having this problem? I haven't had long enough try stock yet but Nova seems a mess.

Nova launcher is running smooth on my Note 4 as well as my G3, never had any problems.

No issues here either. Perhaps give the latest beta a try and see....
http://novalauncher.com/beta/

I may have sorted it. The touch wiz launcher was also running in the background so that may have been using a lot of RAM as well as Nova. Seems OK now I think.

Hey guys, besides the obvious TW related functions, how is the s-pen working with nova? What about the window resizing?

Everything seems to work just fine. As a matter of fact I am just used to Nova I threw it on without thinking and then started discovering some of the nice window resizing features. One handed mode also works with Nova.

the big issue for me, nova wont let me thumbtack the action notes to a screen.

Nova is much faster than tw. The only thing I missed is the calendar widget

Hi, you can use this : http://https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.syncedsynapse.eventflowwidget it's good

I've been using Nova for long long time and nothing happened to me at all, I restored the backup from my M7 to Note 4 with TB, everything runs smooth and fast~

I switched to Nova on the first day because of the lag with the Google Keep widget (that displays actual notes) . It would stutter a bit when I would scroll to the page where the widget was present. Even with fancy animations enabled, Nova is running without slowdown or lag.
edem84, I also miss the monthly calendar widget, but found Month: Calendar Widget to be a good replacement. It does not display names of daily events, but you can tap the days and the event appears very smoothly. It also has a nice, free Google Now theme.

This is a major showstopper for me, too. I love attaching memos to the screen more than I hate TouchWiz (and I hate it a lot).

I can't get my app animation to actually slide up lollipop style, has anyone gotten this to work? I enabled it in the settings but it's not working.

Just got mine too. Look at the update size!

I'm also upgrading, guess if they have resolved the battery drain issue

Anyone root it yet? Does the usual method per senor Heisenberg's directions work?

Post what's different guys.

7.1.1. Got a support tab in settings. Nothing but help guides. No support staff. New 'Moves' sub setting, which is where Gesture settings now live basically. Still looking for more...
Android Pay now pre-installed.
New Camera app? There's the grid options now.
New 'Restart' option when long pressing power button.
Keyboard has Gif support under emoji menu.
Not seeing anything more right now. Can't be bothered to check stock launcher as I use Apex. Sure there may be circular icons etc but I just don't care!

Seems like the battery Life improved, anyone?
I don't have the battery drain issue like 7.0

There are dozens of articles out there on what's new in 7.1.

I totally hate the support tab. It's completely useless for me, any other XDA member or even any non member with half a brain. In fact the whole settings page has gotten nasty post Marshmallow.
Otherwise things seem to be improving slightly with almost every iteration.

NRT by Wugfresh works perfect fyi...

has any one been able to get the new nav bar working?

just installed the update
question
1. not the pixel launcher at default?
2. no Google Assistant
3. the navigation bar still is old design

That's the only thing I haven't been able to get it to do so far. That and I don't have as many round icons as the pictures of pixel scenes show even though I have the pixel icons all installed and the pixel launcher

Probably a silly question, but I got the OTA when rooted. Is it safe to install it from there, or should I flash it manually (I've only modified build.prop for the Assistant and have the Pixel NavBar as a substratum theme).

Not yet, from what I'm gathering it should be safe, but you lose root. I'll probably test it later today, I don't have the time to deal with it if it goes wrong right now.

This is only exclusive for Pixel Phones.

Installed it this morning. Result: No change. not a single round icon or any change!?? I am confused.

Overnight battery drain now negligible. Much better than before.

Swipe Right on Lockscreen for Torch Shortcut

I was holding my Mi 9T in my hand and pressed the power button to wake the display when I was suddenly presented with a Torch icon where the Fingerprint reader usually sits. Upon pressing the Torch icon the flash lights up.
Apparently this was a feature introduced in MIUI 9 but I have since not been able to replicate it by swiping right on the Lockscreen.
Can anyone offer advise on how to activate it again, or have you seen this feature on your device?
Like this : https://youtu.be/y56qCEPV3bc
And mentioned here point number 6 : https://c.mi.com/thread-1615511-1-0.html

Yesterday I downloaded a theme from the MIUI store and it show me several shortcuts swiping right (startingfrom the left side on the screen to the right). So I guess with Default theme this shortcuts are not enable.

That's interesting, thanks for sharing. On my phone which is on Global ROM 11.0.1.0 the options are slightly different and do not appear like yours.
I tried looking elsewhere but could not find it either.
At this point I think the feature is there but somewhat hidden/deactivated for the ROM in my region. There's a bug that allows it to activate very rarely when I swipe right on my Lockscreen and I managed to take a screenshot of it this time. Here is what it looks like on my device with the default MIUI theme.
