i"m so fed up by the constant disappointment of this p i l e of f e c e s named android...
I've updated today to a10 + one ui2, updated in the process the on the need basis software/apps waiting to be since some months now.
1/ the updating process got rid of many settings in use since then : font size, wallpapers
2/ as android dark mode is such a f u c k e d up thing , I was using a dark theme, allowing for white text on dark grey banner for the notifications... Gone now for a s h i t t y black text on white banners and even that isn't modified by android dark mode (as so many other google apps or screens)
3/ I did set up a larger text size in settings.. that didn't affect shadow mode
4/ where 2 steps were enough to set a picture for the screens, I have now to press three times
5/ I'm still having the now and then sync icon in shadow mode popping on even when automatically sync option is off
6/ I have to check for further bad surprises
So.. Do you know guys if it's possible to rollback an update ?
Factory reset.

So Actually I was going to write a thread about the two themes present in the samsung's TouchWizUI: White and Blue.
My Galaxy Tab 2 P3100 i.e. tab shows me only white theme while the phones shows the blue one.
But while messing with the LCD density I found that the firmware Actually has both of the themes.
so I started experiments on my tab with different LCD Densities and found that while we have both of the themes but we actually have all the three UIs with us too.
It's been the 4.1.1 update that made me loose my fav tabletUI and make it to the PhabletUI.
By changing Lcd density, we can see the changes in the UI.
Please see the attachments for Screenshots.
Range:
Below 140 is the TabletUI with the white theme.
Between 140 and 160 is the PhabletUI with white theme
Above 160 is the PhoneUI with the BLUE theme
though changing LCD density to other than 160 will make the touchwiz home and keyboard app to crash.
but using alternatives [launcher and keyboard app] can make it cool.
also densities greater then 160 [phoneui] will also cause the camera app to crash and the UI will change the camera Icon with a cute little green android.
Review:
TabletUI:
1) Samsung white theme is seen
2) There is no bar on the top
3) Notification bar opens from bottom
4) Battery percentage Is displayed
5) Even on rotation to the landscape, button bar [The one with the back, home and recent buttons on, sorry don't know the name for it] stayes at the bottom
6) In lockscreen only bottom bar is present
PhabletUI:
1) Samsung white theme is seen
2) Bar on either side of screen i.e. Notification bar on top and the action bar [let us give it a name] at bottom.
3) notification comes from top
4) notification bar doesn't fill the screen
5) no battery percentage indicator
6) On rotation each bar stays at there respective position.
7) lock screen differs from tabletUI as there is only top bar not the bottom one.
PhoneUI:
1) Samsungs's beautiful blue theme is seen.
2) UI almost same as PhabletUI with each bar on either side of the screen
3) Notification fills the home screen like what happen in a phone
4) When orientation changed to landscape, the Bottom action bar shifts to the right
5) Gestures in the bottom bar used to open google ow is not present.
6) Battery indicator is blue in color while it is green on the other two modes
7) When connected to PC via USB, Battery indicator neither shows a cross mark nor it shows charging.
8) Settings menu now don't have the dual panel
9) Camera icon replaced by android icon
100 Camera app is crashed
I also see a little performance boost when in phoneUI made.. may be because of no TouchWiz mode.
[Note:
Remember to install a launcher before changing the LCD density because it will make your TouchwizUI to crash and you will not able to select your apps from the app drawer.
Rather you can also put your build.prop editor in the homescreen shortcuts so than you can use it from there. but make it before the changes, you will not be able to make changes in homescreen shortcuts as it is a part of TouchWiz home and on opening, it will crash.
Your replies are appreciable.
If you like my post then hit thanks.
This is why its best not to mess with stuff you dont understand lol... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2081640
Easiest way to change modes is to use a custom ROM. AOKP being the better choice. DPI changer built into the ROM If you wish to add a custom theme ( set it to 159, default being 160) and you can switch modes via ROM control and a quick reboot. I'm sure the OP knows what hes doing , just giving some advice to less experienced users.

I know that custom roms have better control on modes but the motive of this post to tell others that we already have the three modes with us along with the two themes ON STOCK ROM.
For those who don't want to shift to a custom rom or argue that we lost our UI after updates. This post is for them.
Less experience lol
I agree with you totally , but the amount of threads in this forum where people have messed with stuff not knowing what they are doing are plenty. Hey I was one of them when I joined the forums :crying: I've had bootloops by the dozen and even totally bricked a device by flashing the wrong thing on to it , an expensive mistake to make.
I actually like the stock ROMs , just that i prefer total control over the ROM i use, a personal choice ....same as yours ! I was just offering advice to new users. Basically make sure you know what you are doing before you do it or use something that's designed for the job if you dont.
Finding out how to recovery from a bootloop and how to restore a device from a nandroid is a must.
I do find it strange why people stay on stock , not even with root access.Surely that's what the spirit of Android is about, what makes our tabs different from the locked down nature of the iPad. Obviously its the users choice as they paid for the device , just an observation.
Have fun with your DPI

we won't learn to stand unless we fall.
okie I was infant about the bootloops. but I've learned from it.
I've previously use many custom roms and flashed my xperia many times. even bricked it a lot. Flashed , bricked and recovered.
I guess thats how u learn.
and regarding staying at stock was because this tab and its TouchWiz is new to my hand and want to learn it before trying something.
Trust me custom roms are not so far from me.
Amen brother ! If you have never had a bootloop you're not an Android fan
I actually got the phone UI by mistake on AOKP M1 > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33898491&postcount=440 ,seems really strange on a tablet.But was fun messing with it. As for stock....Just about to flash the new official-ish JB on to my tab and give it a spin , be rude not to IMO.
Get a custom ROM on your tab you will love it, what you got to lose ? Can always flash back.

Install Google Now launcher or a custom launcher. The stock lollipop launcher in N4 is horrible.
Hi,
I've owned my s7 edge for approx 4 months now and have been customising it. No rooting.
My question is on Themes.
My understanding these Themes in the Theme Store are by Delelopers ?
I believe Samsung Limit the Developers on what a Theme can change ?
Are these Themes vetted by Samsung ?
I was using the SB - Simply Basic Theme which is a Dark Theme for a while.
Yesterday some of the features on my phone froze.
I.e.
Double tap of home button wouldn't launch camera. Setting to allow this was On. Even turned it off, rebooted phone and back On but point blank refused to work.
Two finger swipe down from top of screen wouldn't work. One finger action did but then wouldn't let me bring the section section down.
The settings cog wheel in the top right hand corner would not launch. The down ^ would not work.
The steps I tried were...
Clear System Cache = No change.
I then considered a Factory Reset but before going through that I deleted my last apps = No change.
Toggled off the Theme and rebooted and it unfroze.
Now this may have been just a glitch and not the Theme.
Before I contact the developer I just wanted to put it out here to see if anyone else has had any issues using Themes in general.
Are there Pro's and Con's.
I wanted a Dark Theme as its suggested these can reduce battery drain as they are then turned off pixels using less than the white Ui Marshmallow uses.
Is this true ?
Is the saving minimal?
Thank you for reading and any personal experience and insight is welcomed.
So guys I figured I would start a new thread to see if we could make our g5 great again.
So Obviously we don't have root. Don't let that get you down.
A lot of these no root mods are well known, some not.
Most of these can be found on play store.
1st app is a must is an app called status. It no root changes status bar icons bat gauge and other status bar tweaks. It has a few flaws but works great
Biggest flaw is first screen when display turned on orig status bar is displayed but is quickly overrode once unlocked or another screen is displayed. Force closes a lot but never stops overall 4.5 out of 5 in my book....
2nd. Is only if you are using VS987 on gsm like me on Cricket. After a couple months of searches and trial and error I got MMS to work. I assume cricket and AT&T are nearly the same . On top of my reg apn for data I had to use a second apn Fot instance My reg apn is NDO And second for mms starts as AIOMMS.
Then with a few tweaks in textra I finally sent and received mms on data and wifi.
3rd I ditched the clock on status bar and installed 3d flip clock like on old HTC sense. IMO better than googles weather and clock wiget.
4th I use pitch black walpaper and icon changer but have not done it yet to my g5.
Other good looking no root apps I have seen is system ui tuner has to be enabled with adb.
Wakelock detector now has a no root setup.
Some guys say a blue light filter helps with screen retention. Any one use one on theres?
What are some of the no root apps you guys use?
So after more playing around ADB reboot recovery = no command hold power and tap up to get to stock recovery......
Again lets make our G5 great again.
So we do have a factory recovery menu. Go through adb reboot recovery. Then on no command. Press power and tap vol up.
I have status, material notification shade I actually paid for it, it's nice. I use system ui tuner and forcedoze both with adb stuffs to help. Topped off with lawnchair launcher and some fancy widget

Nope that doesn't work. FRP bug in the build. Why do you want screenshots? It is the same UI as Oreo for the most part.

Only thing that turns dark is the pulldown and it doesn't change anything else, not even the apps which support dark mode. You still ha have to manually change those.
For people that want Digitallwellbeing in stock Pie. I can give you the insctruction to get it to work.
1. Sideload Digitalwellbeing apk
2. Go to quick settings and add: Grayscale
3. Long press Grayscale and follow instructions.
4. Give the right permissions.
5. Press the upper left back-button until you get to the main Digitalwellbeing menu.
6. Scroll down and select option: Show icon in the app list.
Sadly the grayscale doesn't seem to work and Wind down doesn't seem to do antything aswell. BUt now you can atleast see how your phone usage ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Add Charging sound
When in QC MODE it doesn't show rapidly
charging
,but it still have quick charging
PD still show rapidly charging
Is it true that they have pulled the update ?
