So far I've been very happy with the S10+, but have a very annoyances I can't figure out.
1. I have the gallery app disabled, as I prefer Google photos. In the camera app, if I select the most recent picture, it says "no apps can perform this action". Anyone know how to get this to map to photos?
2. I like my theme to always be dark, so I have night mode enabled and customized to my liking, but I can't get good control over the navbar. In a lot of dark/black apps, I end up with a white navbar. I've tried numerous apps to make the navbar black all the time, but then the button icons aren't visible in the apps where One UI wants a white navbar because it makes the icons black. Anyone have a solution?
Any input would be appreciated.
1: go to default apps and clear defaults for the gallery, set Google photos as default gallery app
2: download good lock to change the quickpanel, a short guide to make the quickpanel black is in my battery guide.
Maybe to set it black try the "Navbar Apps" from appstore

1: I cleared gallery defaults, and opened a pictured from a file explorer to set photos as default, but still within the built in Samsung app, it won't open in photos.
2. I already made my quickpanel black, it's the navbar I'm trying to recolor while keeping the menu, home, and back buttons white.

This is one of the apps I've been trying and it works well except that the menu, home, and back buttons turn black in some apps, and thus are black on black.
Thanks for the help both of you

After using the phone for a while a strange problem occurs. The widgets turn black but if you tap on them, they work. Just on home screen they look black.
If you enter to the Apps menu and try to edit any page (try to move an icon for ex) there is going to be a distortion at the background like color changing or instead of the background,
there will be a stretched icon of an application.
I have attached some screenshots for you to see.
Also a temporary solution to this problem that i found is to restart TouchWiz with an application i found on Play Store.
The name of the app is TouchWiz Killer.
Is there a permanent solution to this annoying problem that anyone has found?
Have: Nexus 6P stock 6.0.1. Need: some customization. Items in green have a solution.
I've enabled Developer Mode and System UI Tweaker. I'd like to do this without root, or anything that would affect individual Google Play-installable apps. (The reason is, I need this device for final user release testing, so it should be what users have just from factory reset + install apps and normal OS upgrades):
Different wallpaper on Lock Screen than behind icons and widgets. (Tried: http://forums.androidcentral.com/an...-lock-screen-wallpaper-help-how-can-i-do.html - No triple dot menu visible in Wallpaper)
Full brightness on Lock screen instead of 90%, independent of brightness settings. ("OK" option: same brightness as manual brightness in Settings) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/home-lockscreen-brightness-t1704705 - no Lock Screen Options in Settings)
Disable peeking globally. ("OK" option: put them in the statusbar like 4.4.4) (I don't want to disable peeking for every new app I install: http://www.phonearena.com/news/Here...ifications-in-Android-6.0-Marshmallow_id75408) Temporary solution: I will manually disable peeking for every new app that shows them.
Global saturation setting for icons. (They're all saying "click ME!", that's an icon designer's job. With an excellent high-contrast screen like this, it's a crowd shouting.) ("OK" option: some other way of getting icons to look more Zen.) Icon packs for launchers are that "OK option", browsing tons on Google Play left Hexacon and Dual Shadow. So Hexacon.
Remove the Google Now bar from my Home Screen (without disabling any services). (As in, I taught the device my voice, so I don't need it there for me to tap. Tried: https://www.androidpit.com/how-to-remove-the-google-search-bar-from-your-android-homescreen - it's not long-tappable nor draggable, nor does it appear under Google Apps in Widgets.) Best solution so far: Nova Launcher.
I'd like to be able to do this:
Some quick way (preferably swipe) to access a more compact Quick Settings widget, like on my Xperia Z. I've reduced it to 9, can't remove "Invert Colors" and Location toggles.
Global Night Mode for everything in the System UI - to make it look similar to the Quick Settings. (This is a "like to" only because it's been promised in N. I really need it like, now. ) Best solution so far: Nova Launcher.
Basically I have the greatest phone, so I want it to look good at all times, and with the aim Clean, Fresh, Zen.
I posted here bc the forum was most specific. Feel free to refer or advise me how to best get answers as I joined tonight.
Any & all advice on single questions is appreciated Not possible is a valid answer, and I'm also prepared to wait for N if that's the answer.
I used to think of "ok google" as a novelty but its become more polished and if it remains reliable Ill continue to use it more& more. As it applies to keeping things clean it sort of does eliminate need for extra widgets.
If you have ok google everywhere u can just say " ok google...launch settings". Same goes for music apps, podcasts, youtube videos etc.
Started using a new app other day you might like called sesame edge. I set it on the right edge, virtually invisible and it brings up quick access to apps.

Thanks, trying it out. Also tried Sesame in the hope that it would let me set a different lock screen wallpaper, but it only had "their automatic lock screen wallpaper or off" as setting. I sent feedback to them, so let's see.

I dont use a lockscreen but on Pure Nexus which Im using now there is an option to set lockscreen wallpaper.
I use action launcher 3 which doesnt allow me to remove google bar (i dont think) but nova will let u do that. I like the bar cuz on action launcher i can put several shortcuts for whatever i want.
ASAP launcher is very minimal. Again you cant REMOVE the bar but swipe down and it turns into a simple clock widget.

Thx, tried Nova and it gives me Night Mode. Thanks for that Still, no way to have a different wallpaper on the lock screen than on the home screen, and I can find no Prime option for it either. Pure Nexus requires CM.
Can I mix and match this type of apps? Will they interfere with each other? Sesame seems to work with Nova at least.
What about Hi Locker? http://android.wonderhowto.com/how-to/get-back-lock-screen-customization-android-lollipop-0160204/
Can custom lock screens lock me out of my phone, make me butt dial, hog battery? I just want to change the gdmn background!
As I wrote, if some feature comes in N I'd rather wait than mess up my new phone.

Seems Im constantly tweaking things and having problems recalling exactly what I used. I know making lockscreen different from desktop is something Ive done many times. Do u have xposed? Pretty sure gravitybox has that option.
As far as butt dials, I use sweep to wake & it was a problem. Always remember to put it in your pocket screen facing out. I also need to do that when using bt headphones or else i get distortion. Anyways if i find something relevant Ill let u know.
Thx for suggestions!
I want weather, clock, and a background that matches my high-end case on the lock screen AND NOTHING ELSE, and then wherever there are icons I want a neutral background or just a color so I can see them properly. I think that's being a normal user with sensible demands.
Right now a huge dark gray or white slate COVERS the background anyway. I don't mind it, it lets me see the icons of all manner of variety and quality against something neutral, still... just allowing a background to set behind your icons seems to be an easy addition... since Froyo... Anyway, end rant about Simple Things. Android at least lets you customize them.
I'm battling notifications now. Light Manager is recommended for the 6P - testing it out now for notifications that are actually important, will report.
in settings i set my nav keys to black for the on screen back app switcher ect buttons , have a black theme installed and also running nova launcher with swiftkey keyboard , no matter what i change i cant get rid of the white popup menu at the bottom , the nav buttons , is there any reason they wont change to black like the color i have set under settings on the phone.
also like to have the white box where you enter text to be black......
Navbar Apps in the Play Store
thanks that seems to work , however seems to slow it down just a tad
Man this drives me crazy.
Not tried it but I read somewhere that the colours can be set for different apps, depending what app your in when setting the colour.
I have mine set to full emersion so the bottom navigation buttons and top status bar are hidden. Looks neater and gives more screen to apps.

I noticed that there is this something like a blur / weird effect near status bar like example on this lg g6 specific wallpaper on galaxybs8. Also, when using a plain black wallpaper on the top part of the screen, it's not pure black but some white/light in it. How to remove this?
Your Screen seems defective
Does it appear every where?

it's a screen shot dude
What you mean its a screen shot? Look at the google sign in the upper left corner it also looks strange. And if it appers on his screenshot its also visible on his display i guess.

Mate. Screenshots are software renders, they do not show display issues.
The "weird google icon" is a feature of the google launcher.
@OP, this is a known Samsung system ui thing, they apply a blur effect and it looks odd if you're using certain backgrounds and launchers.
I did not find a way to disable it in the native settings, perhaps a 3rd party app can help.

I have the same problem you have
I guess that's your launcher doing that effect. What launcher are you using?
I am using Pixel Launcher. It's not everywhere. Only noticeable on some specific wallpapers in homescreen.
So is there a solution to this matter?
The blur/gradient/tint/almost transparent shade ( call it whatever you want ) appears in home screen. If you see the wallpaper in gallery in full screen it appears fine . So there is nothing wrong with the screen. This effect exists with every launcher ( stock, nova etc). It has nothing to do with the launcher. And yes Nova status bar setting has been set to transparent. And yes shading has been set to off. It's clearly a setting from Samsung. So has anyone figure out how to disable this setting ?
Here is what we are talking about :
Finally a crazy solution!
For all of you who hate the gradient that Samsung puts on the status bar here is a "crazy" solution :
Samsung doesn't apply this effect when a live wallpaper is used! So you must :
1) Download the multipicture live wallpaper from playstore ( don't worry, it doesn't consume battery )
2) In the settings of the app do the following :
a. Select a single picture ( the one that you want to set as wallpaper ) , not an album of course.
b. Uncheck "show reflection" ( top and bottom )
c. Uncheck "double tap to change picture"
That's it! The ugly gradient is gone! Tested with Nova launcher but i am almost sure that it will work with any launcher.

After Oreo update the problem is fixed so there is no need any more to use any live wallpaper for this matter.
Hi everybody. After june update my google search bar on the main screen become black. I tried to switch device theme from light to dark and back, tried to install birght wallpaper, reset google settings. None of this were able to help. My phone is not rooted, everything is official. Please help, it is really annoying, I was looking for solution, but I was not able to find anything through google. Thanks
It changes colour according to the time of day, although I have no idea if it is possible to disable this function or set the time when it switches colour.
What launcher, google now never changes colour but sits at the top not bottom.
Mine is just black for all day long
It is default launcher.
Go to your app draw and open "Google"
Bottom right press "more"
Press "Customise Widget"
Press ? at bottom of screen, here you will find four themes, colour, white, black and custom.
You will have black selected (third G from left), press the left G (colour G) and you are done.
Thank you, but it did not solve the issue. It was strange but Customize menu was not opening app. Then I enabled developer options to hard reset device and saw there Night mode options which set to Always on, turned it off, now my phone back to normal !! It iwas really weird, but anyway - tha ks you all
