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.

Today I stumbled upon a cool app called GMD Gesture Control, it basically allows you to define global gestures that can be used anywhere and that can do any kind of action, kinda like the "pinch" gesture found in the ipad that closes the current app. The gestures can be defined with custom directions, actions or number of fingers. So you can for example swipe with two fingers down from the top edge of the screen for the device to go to sleep if you have an unreliable sleep button.
Here's the steps needed to be taken to use this app on lg optimus one:
1- Get the app, you can use the lite version for now which disables itself when the mobile is locked and needs to be re enabled, but it gives you a good idea of how the app works:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...dvb2Rtb29kZHJvaWQuZ2VzdHVyZWNvbnRyb2xkZW1vIl0.
2- Launch the app for the first time, it will show an error that the device is not recognized, here you have to override the default settings to support our mobile, you can do this by tapping the "advanced" tab at the far right, then you will find 2 options at the end of the list, enable both by tapping the "on" button. Then from the "Override multitouch device detection" list choose "touch_mcs6000", then choose from the "override touch events parser detection" list the option "HC_DEFAULT".
3- Restart the service from the main "General" tab, please note that I couldn't get our mobile to support more than 2 fingers gestures, keep that in mind when defining custom gestures or choose "single touch gestures" option in the default gestures tab.
Hope that you all find this useful, this app is extremely fun to use to switch between apps quickly, I use a swipe from the left-right bottom corner to switch between previous/next app. You can really create any kind of creative gesture as you like.
This app is incompatible with your MobiFone LGE LG-P500.
it needs version 3.1 and up
upgrade to ics and install

Please be kind and use easy words. I'm a noob!
I would like to ask if it is possible for the S8 to have a full screen all the time? Without the nav bars. I know they disappear with You Tube and some other apps, but can it be done as a standard setting.
I don't mind playing with settings and trying things, as long as I can use simple terms.
Thanks in advance.

This app will do the job too selecting "Fullscreen for current app". Then you can use Bixby button to enable / disable full screen.

This full screen is not the same as the ADB version. That fully resizes the apps. The app version just removes the status bar and nav and leaves a blank black area in most apps.
Yes, the ADB version is the truest form of full screen. Really liking it. My one gripe with on-screen buttons was that they made the actual usable screen space smaller. This way we get to maximize the entire display. Love being able to tweak our phones to our personal likes. Something much easier to do with Android, even non-rooted android, than IOS.
This is awesome but it should have been already included as a feature.

It is with some apps, you have to press the open apps button on the screen and if you can view that app in full screen you press on the green circle in the upper right hand side of the screen.

As title says, do anyone of you know if there is any app or setting to set a software shortcut to put the screen off the same way the power button does?
I don't really like pressing the button all the time, for now i've set the display timer to 15 seconds to shut down itself but coming from the modding world (lineage etc) roms, I got used to have a shortcut like longpressing back button to have screen off instead of using the power button.
I tried nova launcher and some other apps, their shortcuts are working BUT they require the admin unlock (PIN or SIGN only), no fingerprint or eyeballing aviable.
Any clue to help this fella out?

If you change nova lock method from administrator to timeout (screen off, and times out to lock after 5 seconds for unrooted users) or even better if rooted, then you can use double tap to lock with biometrics.
Scroll to bottom of nova settings/advanced/screen lock method option
Sent from my phone
I use doubleHome, I double tap home buttom a black screen appears for 3 seconds, after the phone is locked with biometric unlock.
Free and works like a charm, from the same athor of bxactions!
Unfortunately using doubleHome you have to leave the current app.
Better: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dynalogix.screenoff.ultra.quick.timeout
There is a shortcut, you can use everywhere, e.g. as gesture.
Im happy to see I'm not the only one who needed this!
Every manufacturer should think about this and include it in the stock Rom tho
Thank anyone for all the ideas!!!
You can do this with any gestures or automation app that runs shell commands like LMT or Tasker, etc.

Hi everyone!
I've found that the OnePlus 5's "Reading Mode", which has been exclusive to the OP5 from the start, has been integrated in the latest OOS 5.0 Update for the OnePlus 3/3T but is still hidden, as expected so that this can remain an exclusive to the OP5/5T

Here's how to access the hidden settings:-
I used Nova Launcher Prime for doing this.
1. Add a Nova Launcher Activity by going into widgets.
2. Scroll down to Settings & then find "Reading Mode" & select that.
Now by clicking on that created Activity, you can access the hidden Reading Mode settings

This is great! And OnePlus said that this feature won't make it to OP3/3T via a SW update because of hardware shortcomings. I'm not sure why would they do this..

Yes they did I believe they added this mode by mistake in the OOS build for the 3/3T. I wish the new 5T's Face Unlock implementation also arrives for our 3/3T

This doesn't really work as it should.
We lack a hardware sensor, RGB ambient light sensor.
So what we get is basically Night mode with the Monochromatic profile.
The real deal should adapt the color of the display to the color temperature of the surroundings.
This was already possible to achieve without this entry, by enabling both the features I mentioned.
But congrats on the find. :good:
OOS ROMs are getting as stuffed as a turkey on Thanksgiving.
Thats a great find bro. Thanks for sharing
Didn't work for me.
Whenever I switch in reading mode. It goes grey for 1 second and then back to normal! Any solution?

Not sure what you are trying to show with that picture.
Screen rotation is in the notification, maybe on the second page, you may need to tap the pencil and edit but it's not in the navigation bar.
