s view missing from display settings - Elephone S7 Questions & Answers

Has anyone's s view setting has gone missing from display settings? I can change colour of s view window, but other settings are missing.

I don't have mine yet but on my P8000 you change clock faces by closing the cover and swiping through the s-window.

The screenshot shows the very bottom of display settings page, that s view option is the only one I now have?? The lock screen has the s view box but it's in the bottom left of screen and does nothing if I try and swipe it????

Lock screen wallpaper

hi there, i have a picture of my missus that i want to put as the lock screen wallpaper however it tiles the same picture as it is smaller than the screen (480x800). i was wondreing if there was a way of getting the picture to be centred in the screen, with a blank background, similar to the XP setting.
i have tried enlarging the photo to 480 x 800 but it doesnt look right

You need something that will resize it and keep the aspect ratio, and then resize it to either 480x... or ...x800, then add a black background to fill the gaps at the top & bottom or sides.
I'll do it for you if you like - just send me a link to the pic.
ah okayyy i think i could work that, i;ll give it a go and if i fail then i will send you a link...cheers

Cool page swipe action

I was just reading the latest gossip on Nexus phones. Saw a home screen shot of a page of icons and the icons looked slanted. Then it hit me - instead of swiping from screen to screen, what if the block icons (apps) just appear to individually rotate to the icon in that same position on the next page! Or put another way, the flat icon is actually a four sided box and only one side shows at a time. Swipe and all the boxes rotate to the next side you swipe toward. A widget would seem to rotate and morph into whatever is on the next home screen page!
That might look pretty 'fresh' compared to the current way of screen refresh we now know.?.
Sound promising?
So basically, like a Rubik's cube? Or am I picturing it wrong?
Yep. Looks like the icon of a specific app rotates as it was a cube. Are we right?

Google plus badge

Does anyone know how to get your Google plus circle badge either in your notification bar or just on home screen?

Making a 1x1 zooper widget with the image is probably the easiest way. It would only work for your home screen. If you were really ambitious, you could build a notification bar with Zooper and incorporate the image there.
Can't figure out for the life of me how to crop a picture I have into a circle (just the circle)
What badge are you talking about? Do you have any pics?
The profile pic in Google plus. I'm just trying to figure out how to crop a picture into a circle and only the circle

I am going to assume you saw this from the lock screen on a device with Android L Developer Preview. On those devices the lock screen displays your Google+ avatar image in the top right hand corner of your notification bar on the lock screen.
Yes but I want to just make a widget with my Google plus circle profile pic. But I can't figure out how to crop a pic into a circle. Sounds stupid cause it seems so simple

I would think that would be rather easy with a graphics application on a computer. Technically just for that MS Paint should be more than enough.

Lock screen clock, not AOD clock change

Can we get a horizontal clock? I can only seem to adjust the AOD clock.
I applied a theme and it was horizontal for a while... a few hours later I look and its back to the vertical one. Anyone else notice this?
Hours and minutes are aligned vertically, if there are notifications.
It seem to be horizontal if you have any notifications. Once those are cleared, it goes back to vertical.
Here is a easy Solution
smarturl.it/samsung-s8-clock-chg
Takes less than 2 minutes costs nothing, does not revert back after notification or anything like that.
Horizontal clock is an option under AOD display settings. Look for clock style

Go to Settings...Lock screen and security...Information and FaceWidgets...Contact and Information. You can type in something here and it will show up underneath a horizontal clock. If you don't want anything to show up but still want the horizontal clock, just put in one space and no other text.
I've made a theme with horizontal clock on lock screen. This theme used stock icons and a colour is a little bit changed. Change wallpaper and change icons and thats all. But you can create this by yourself by samsung mobile theme editor wish i have later version. So in order to make horizontal clock in this editor you need to use not colour selection on tab lockscreen but images. And upload image of every digit 012345678: and thats all.

This is really the best proposal. I came here to get rid of this ugly clock on lock screen of my S8+. Thank you so much. No theme, nothing. :good:
Edit: does not work. The horizontal clock just showed up because there was a notification.
No dice on Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus for AT&T
Had a horizontal clock working for months using themes, but since the samsung update about a week ago it broke, there really should be a simple was to do this anyway, we shouldn't be looking for work arounds
