Hello, I am wondering if anyone out there can answer this for me. Quite simply, I am trying to screen capture while using the Mahdi Rom on a Galaxy S4- Perhaps I have derped, and overlooked a quite simple solution, but just in-case, does anyone know if it is possible to screen capture still while using this ROM? Many thanks in advance if so, and if not, please don't post your same issue below, only a solution- It is possible I am just a newb and this feature is totally removed from the Mahdi Rom though.....
I can't seem to delete this post, nor should I... here is answer:
double finger swipe from top of screen down > click SETTINGS > scroll down under CUSTOM, click CUSTOMIZATION > scroll down at bottom to HARDWARE BUTTONS > determine which of the hardware buttons you want to screen capture, and click it > scroll down to find SCREENSHOT = Happiness-
Hi Forum,
I have a bit a problem with my newly upgraded Note 3. Been searching online for a while now and not getting anywhere, so I thought I might start a post here to ask the experts and hope it would help some others with the same problem. Thank you all in advanced.
I have installed the leaked 5.0 rom on my note 3 only recently and everything seems to be working perfectly fine except I can no longer able to use the swipe down gesture to pull down the notification bar. At first, I thought it was the 3rd party launcher I am using that has compatible issue, but after the trying out 2 other different launchers (even paid for one), the problem still exists.
Basically, if I move my finger all the way up to the top and pull it down, it will work, but if I use the swipe down anywhere gesture offered by 3rd party launchers, it will not. And yes, I have tried different gesture options but none of them works.
Given Note 3 is a large phone and I have been using the same way to pull down my notification bar for many many years, it's very inconvenient for me to operate the phone now. And I am pretty sure there's many more out there with the problem who would understand the frustration I am having now.
I am not sure if it's the rom or if there's anything in regards of the settings... if anyone knows anything about how to fix this. it will be really great!
Anyone? Any ideas? Please?
Hi, long time casual forum reader having trouble with my galaxy note 3. I've found so much useful information on these forums it's the first place I decided to ask for help at after unable being to find any answer by searching Google or these forums. The problem:
Whenever I hold down my finger on the touchscreen it is not working properly. I am unable to drag and drop icons on the home screen by holding down then dragging them. I am unable to hold down on a link in Chrome and have the option menu appear which allows you to open in new tab. I CAN hold down and scroll the screen up/down.
I do not know what is causing this problem. I have in the past closed out various unknown/system services in the application manager but haven't ever disabled any. I have restarted my phone multiple times leaving it powered off for over a minute before repowering. I am using a tmobile galaxy note 3. That is not rooted. I have the most recent update from tmobile (installed it hoping that it would fix the problem). Does anyone have any idea what may be wrong or how to fix it? I'd be more than happy to provide more information if required.
Thanks
Correct terminology?
If no one has any ideas for how to solve this problem, does anyone know the correct terminology to use to describe when you press and hold your finger down on the screen then try to drag? I'm thinking part of the problem I'm having with searching for a solution is that I'm using incorrect search terms to describe the problem. I've tried things like press and drag, long hold, drag and drop, and various other similar terms. I'm hoping the correct terminology might yield results related to this issue. Thanks!
Hello all. Just yesterday my XT1575 started acting up, the navigation buttons - all three, Back, Home, Recents - are not working anymore. Initially, I thought it was a minor thing that could be sorted out with a reboot. I rebooted yet no show, still not working. I went to the extreme and did a factory reset, still no show. I fastbooted a fresh install, no show. I installed custom recovery and flashed a ROM, no show. But I made one discovery - in TWRP recovery the navigation buttons work just fine, and they are almost at the same location the main ones are on the phone screen when booted. This made me more skeptic if it was a hardware issue. As it is now I'm thinking of getting another screen to replace this one, but want to be sure this will fix the issue before shelling out more than $50 for a replacement screen.
Please all suggestions and advice is very welcome. I need to fix this. I love this phone. Thanks all.
maybe try to go to settings, enable dev options and then enable show touches

I also agree. Doing this will allow you to see if any key presses being registered when pressed in the affected spot.
Fix(?)...
OK. I stumbled on a fix, maybe a permanent fix, maybe not... I rooted with BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651.zip directly flashed in TWRP recovery, no need messing with extracting anything and all those long steps in a related rooting thread. Flashed Xposed (xposed-v86-sdk23-arm64.zip), installed XposedInstaller_3.1.1.apk and after all this, installed Gravity module for Marshmallow. Go to Navigation bar tweaks in Gravity, activate master switch, enable navigation bar and scroll down and then increase the height and width of horizontal navigation bar to 124 or more (124 is the minimum for things to work again). And, voila... The navigation buttons work again. I hope this helps someone with this issue.

Hi im having the same issue. How did yours happen? Mine happened after dropping my phone. Also I enabled Show Touches in Dev Options and the pointer would only go to the top of the nav bar and not on it even though my finger is on the nav bar.
I had this exact same issue with my Moto X Style. I was not willing to spend anything on this 3 year old device. Looked around for solutions but none worked. Finally settled for a 3rd party app which floats on screen, but very annoying. Found a commnet on a Youtube video who asked to change the display setting and it worked.
Settings -> Display -> Display Size. Change it from Default to large, larger or largest. It worked for me when I set Large. Just wanted to share it here, so it might help someone desparate.

Hi, I'm looking for a suggestion on a ROM to replace my current one.
I've used Superman after trying all the roms available about a year or so ago. Now it's EOL and I need an Oreo rom. I've spent the better part of two days installing a bunch and setting them up and finding issues. I have a handful of features that I really would prefer to have, and can't find anything that lines up. I don't think they're over the top features, just can't find them together.
Here's what I put together for what I'm looking for:
Musts:
Stable
Magisk, or can flash Magisk with MoRo Kernel
Dialer has "places" tab to search nearby things
Most Samsung apps removed, no upday, no skype
Removed brightness and volume warnings
Fingerprint unlock on first boot - can't find a flashable mod for this
Network up/down speed on status bar
Call recording
Status bar/Tiles/System UI/etc work with Galaxy Themes
Can install http://tekhd.com/detonator/ T-Mobile CSC for Wifi Calling and VoLTE
Would prefer but can probably find alternatives:
Has reboot to recovery in boot menu.
Long press back button to end - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.homebutton
would be nice if it were built in, but can work around
Dual speakers - could just flash: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/themes/mod-dual-speaker-sound-mod-v4-0-oreo-8-0-t3787782
Ok without but nice to have:
Mobile data confirmations were also removed.
Selectable boot menu choices
Fingerprint from always on for unlocking when screen off
- is it really a battery drain? Superman had it and my battery was ok.
Swipe from right to pull down tiles
Only reason I want to stick with TW is the camera quality. Wish that didn't teather me to it.
Could anyone please suggest ROM's that have most of those things? Or alternative ways to get them that doesn't involve disassembling?
Thank you
