Hey I got my XDA Exec this morning which I'm really please about, been using it for a couple of hours but for some reason the clock has disappeared from the title bar in the today screen and I can't get it back!
Does anyone know what might have happened, about the only thing I've got installed is Pocket Plus 3.
Infact i've noticed that the volume icon is gone too, but if i click where it should be the pop-up appears for me to change the volume levels.
It's like there is something covering these two icons and it's driving me mad, having the time visible there is about one of the most useful things :twisted:
This is a common problem
This happened to me too. It was caused by the O2 software. If you do a search on this site using the words "clock missing" there have been many posts on this subject and the solutions of how to remove the O2 software are posted too.
The O2 interface also seems to slow up the machine and cause a lot of freezing requiring a soft reset. My machine has been tons better since removing it.
If you decide that you would rather have the clock than the O2 software (and most people do) and decide to remove it, remember first of all to save your phone and GPRS setting to your filestore! This can save you a lot of time. If you like the 02 today screen theme then you could save this too.
Also I recommend that you make a backup first so that you can go back to how you are now if you need to.
Good Luck
Open the clock and you should find an extra tab at the bottom called - "More" select that and a new option appears Display the clock on the title bar in all programs.
Neither of those options worked, in the end I hard resetted the device and set it up in corporate mode I found using a PIN I got by just searching google! No more O2 Active anywhere, and I've got my clock back! I'd only had the device a few hours so luckily it didn't take too long to set everything back up how it was before hand The only thing I had to do was manually set up the GPRS connection again but that was simple enough since I already had all the settings saved
HI!
i'm using button saviour to control my device. now i want to get rid of the softkeybar, because it just taking alot of sceen pixel.
any idea?
Wow, no reply. So there is no interest in this?
I still wonder, how you guys are using the stock rom, does nobody gets horribly annoyed by the wasted space?

I don't think there's anything you can do about removing the soft button bar, short of installing a custom ROM. If you install GoLauncher EX, it looks a lot like stock gingerbread, at least if you can learn to ignore the button bar at the bottom. It doesn't really bother me. If you're rooted and you install the FFF bootloader, and either TWRP or CWM-touch, it's easy to make backups and try out different ROMs.
Not an option. There are several threads discussing this (search for 'unlock'). The problem is that Amazon took some shotcuts to providing soft buttons and bundled the lock, notification bar and soft button bar into a single module. Killing the Amazon lock with an app like no lock does remove the button bar, but also kills the notification bar which you need at the very least to control WiFi, volume and so on. Also, the button bar will tend to return unexpectedly if an app issues minimize/maximize requests or sends a notification to the top bar. Conclusion: if you want to deal with this, you'll have to install CM7 or ICS.

So I just got the NST a couple of weeks ago and it's a really good device. However it does have ghosting issues due to the 'refresh every 6 pages' feature and I find myself missing the screen quality of my Nook 1st edition. I have rooted the nook just to try out alternative readers but the experience of those is quite bad overall.
Is there any way/hack, with or without rooting, to force a refresh of the page for example every 1, 2 or 3 pages in the stock reader app?
I found it really weird B&N aren't offering this option.
Thanks for your help.
Open and close B and N quick launch.

Thanks but that leaves ghosting/residue of the QuickNav bar instead..
Lock and unlock?
Maybe talk to XorZone and ask him to add a "full refresh" to nook touch tools.
I have my 9505 and since I have had it, the biggest frustration I've had is the stupid Samsung lockscreen.
I don't understand why text message notification previews can't be clicked on to open, but I can open by pulling down or swiping up from the short cut for text message on the botton of the screen. Also there is a resizable white box that I don't understand the purpose of.
All I want is a pull down bar that INSTANTLY unlocks my phone (No animation, no delays, no fades!).
Anyone know if Samsung has a fix pending or if I need to resort to third party options? I don't have root yet, and want to delay that as long as possible.
To come directly to an unread message you click on the "New Message" and then samsung will highlight an area where you simply unlock your device. Then you will come directly to the message.

Sorry I don't understand what you mean. I think we might be talking about different thing. On my lockscreen if I get a new txt message, I can't just click on the message to open it. It's odd. If I swipe right or left strange things happen too.

that pretty much sums it up... press the message, then unlock as normal and it'll take you to the message

With android 4.2 Google introduced widgets on lockscreen. The white box that appears when you drag on the lockscreen is for cusomize the widgets. It took a while to understand that for me too. But try simply press one time at the "New Message" on your lockscreen and then simply unlock in the highlighted area.
Since the Peloton tablet runs android N, and multi-window support is native to android N, I figured it was just a matter of enabling the "recent" button which is hidden by default. Sure enough.....

Within a couple steps, some sideloaded apks, and some quick configuration, you can watch Netflix (or any app) and have your workout stats clearly in view (you can do a class or scenic ride, but the sound will play for both).
Basically, all we are doing is installing apks via adb including an app that adds a button to the navigation bar. Once that's done, we're adding a button to the navigation bar that brings up 'recent apps'. Then it's just a matter of scrolling through your open apps, long-pressing one, and dragging it to the side so that its 'pinned' then doing the same thing to the other side of the screen.
Following these steps should in no way change the core functionality of your Peloton and everything you do can be undone by performing a factory reset.
I'll try to step this through as best I can without any screenshots. This assumes you have working ADB installed and know how to use it.
1) Enable 'USB Debugging
-Use "Method 2" in the link below to enable USB debugging (ignore the wording, you're not 'rooting' anything)
-Follow their Netflix install tutorial for a trial run
https://www.reddit.com/r/pelotoncycle/wiki/index/howto/root
2) To access your installed apps
"Each time you want to watch netflix or run any app you've loaded, do the following:
On the peloton screen make sure you are logged in.
Tap the three dots in the bottom right hand side and then tap about. An info box should show up on the screen.
In rapid succession, tap just inside the bottom right corner of the info box like 10 times or so. A black screen should come up showing all installed APKs."
3) Once you've logged into Netflix and verified all is working, find the apk for "Custom Navigation Bar". The Google Play link is below, but you'll need to download the apk from another site
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=xyz.paphonb.systemuituner
4) Install the apk in the same manner you installed Netflix (or any other apk)
5) This app does require specific permissions. While still connected to ADB, use the following command:
Code:
adb shell pm grant xyz.paphonb.systemuituner android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
6) Now access the app "Custom Navigation Bar" using the process from step 2 above (you'll have to step through a few welcome screens)
-Scroll down to "Extra Left Button"
-Under "Type" choose "Keycode"
-Choose an icon (so you can see the button)
-Under "Keycode" choose "App Switch"
7) On the far left of your navigation bar, you should see a new button. Pressing it will bring up your recent apps list
8) Scroll through your open apps and long press the title bar of the one you want
9) You should see 2 bars on either side of the screen, drag your app to the side you want
10) Scroll through your list again until you find the "Peloton" app and select it
11) Drag the slider in the middle of the screen to make one app bigger or smaller
And that's it!

I've done no testing and do not guarantee it will work for everyone nor can I be held responsible if something adverse happens to your device as a result.
Hi wolfebaine,
thanks a lot for this great guide !
Every worked fine - except one thing:
when I longpressed Netflix title bar a message pops up "Screen split not supported in this app".
I was able to get around this by activating activities to be resizable in developer settings as i.e. described here: https://www.howtogeek.com/273409/how-to-enable-split-screen-for-any-app-in-android-nougat/
Now I have both apps Netflix and Peloton side-by-side on the screen, but only one apps seems to be able to provide video: as soon as I start Netflix, e.g. the scenic ride stops (same with normal spinning courses, but this is a crazy use case with Netflix at the same time ).
And when I try to slide the split so Peleton gets smaller a running "Just ride" stops (it's paused and can be restarted, but is some where in the background).
So it's only works with 50/50% screen split.
Is that also true for your installation ?
Thanks for sharing the info!
I got mine working. There are a few new tricks to get everything working, I'll post more info later.
Just wondering if you've figured out how to get the workouts to not reset when you click away from the workout? If I try to interact with the second screen the workout always gets paused/put in the background.
I've got a few ideas, but thought I'd post here to possibly figure it out faster.

Hi there,
Not sure if the original poster will still see this. I’ve installed all the apps necessary. Under setting >> App, I can see the app I’ve installed. However when heading to the “about” page, after clicking few times, it only shows the Web Browser Test. Any clue?
I noticed that a little while ago following an update. Since I already had everything installed it didn't really affect me.
But try this. Under app setting go into Nova launcher and scroll down to home app.
Select Nova launcher add your home app and hit the P button on your navigation bar. That should get your to the point that you can set everything up
To get back to that screen from peloton, you just have to go to settings, device settings, and hit the P

Hi Wolfbanie,
Thanks for your quick reply! I’ve seen a post talking about this back in Jan 2021. Tried to follow that without any luck. I couldn’t find the app setting or nova launcher anymore. Maybe because I just recently got the bike that peloton has blocked all these ways？
Hello,
New member and I'm lost.
I followed the tasks of getting into dev mode.
I turned on USB debugging.
I installed Adb.
I downloaded APK packages.
Then when I went to install the packages they say failed to install.
HELP ?
Thank you for looking.
PS I love the split screen idea..... !

Apparently even if you install them successful, it doesn’t appear in the app anymore. I’m also waiting for a solution too.

do you have active Peloton subscription? If not you will not be able to install apk packages other than signed by Peloton. You can just take membership for 1 month and install apk packages and cancel it after that.
btw, I was able to get split screen but was unable get peloton app in split screen as it now requires full screen. Any other apps side by side are kinda of no use.

I found a workaround for this. You have to go to:
Settings > Apps
Then click the app Nova, Custom Nav Bar, etc...
At the bottom, you click "Advanced", then "Additional App Settings". It will launch the app.
This worked for both custom nav bar and nova. Alternately, the first time you click the P logo in the middle it will ask which launcher you want to open (Peloton, Nova).
Be aware that Netflix last supported split screen in V7.64.0. Referencing an article, I downloaded the release below and split screen didn't work. I downloaded an even earlier Netflix release, from the link above that OP included, split screen STILL didn't work. I'm not sure how this app can have split screen disabled even though it was natively supported before. Maybe it has something to do with the Peloton android version.

Shoot I was hoping to have the just ride on one side and the peloton app (google play, not the built in “app”) on another. Guess that won’t work? Full access membership it is then *cries =(

I was able to add custom navigation bar to easily get split screen. Now, i can get peloton in side by side but can't watch any videos.

"Watch videos" as is in peloton videos?
If not possible I might as well just hang an ipad over the screen and use the peloton app that way with the just ride metrics below it on the main screen.
Is that your vid on YouTube? Great Vid. I wasn’t able to get past switching the left button to “app switch” as I see no option for “app switch” on my menus. =(
And to confirm, yes you need the All access membership to be able to side load and use adb for those that are wondering.
you need an active membership to do this . this should be STEP 1
Does this work for anyone still? I have a Bike+ running Android 10, everything works fine but I can't get past the Custom Navigation Bar compatibility test, it never changes the bar to the -> to continue.
I ran the adb permissions command, is there a way to verify if the permissions were applied? It didn't throw an error.

As far as I can tell the recent update broke it.
I have tried ADB commands and still can't get the recents screen to even open.
Same for me, looks like recent update broke it as well. It removed the MENU command for me. I don’t want to attempt anything until I see someone get it to work.

The update removed the the option for the nova launcher or just the split screen feature ?
Honestly the split feature is ok .. but not very useful since you can’t play videos on both sides and it only split vertically not horizontally … it would be good to see cadence and resistance in the bottom and the class or Netflix on top .. but vertically make it not as good

I wonder if anyone tried to root the tablet using kingroot or any rooting method .
Pretty sure any rooting would get you flagged hard.
I messed around some more and was able to get split screen to happen randomly but it would result in one side being unresponsive so it was useless.
