Hi all,
When I open the settings on my lollipop device I seem to get a cut down version of the settings options (Menu's and menu options are missing, like accessibility, advanced audio setting, etc)
I know these options can be accessed because I somehow managed to get to the advanced audio settings using nova launcher (I cant remember how)
Is there an app or something like that I can download to open the standard setting app?
Thanks.
Hello,
I bought a smartphone (Coolpad Modena 2) with android 6.0 onboard for my grandma. I installed a launcher made espetially for seniors. It works really well. All buttons are big, all extra apps are blocked. But there are 2 things that bother me.
1. With a swipe down the screen you can open the notification dropdown menu. From there, you can easily access all phone settings. It makes it pretty easy to mess something up. It there a way to switch off the pulldown menu?
2. With a swipe up the screen the preinstalled ROM shows up a handy menu with settings like aeroplane mode, wifi on/of, priority mode. It looks really similar to the iOS control center. Again - it makes it way too easy for my grandmother to turn aeroplane mode on for example.
I was searching for a solution all day but didn't find anything. Maybe there is a custom ROM where you can disable this kind of menus? Maybe there is an other solution?
I will be glad for any help !

Greetings and welcome to assist. I'm not sure if you can disable it with a custom rom or root but you could try nova launcher. You can resize the icons with it and customize allmost all the gestures. It may be a bit more complicated to set up but when done should do the trick
Good Luck

Hey all, since we don't have root or custom ROM's yet, what are some of the must have apps to add additional functionality you find missing from your favourite roms? Things like additional tiles for the notification tray, etc. I'm looking for whatever you can't live without!
@mikeandjaimie
Immersive mode is cool,especially for video/games:

An Ad blocker is #1 on my list,whether rooted or not.
For unrooted,I go with Block-This:
https://block-this.com/
Real easy to use:
1) Choose whether to have auto-start on boot
2) Whitelist on a per-app basis

You don't need an application for this. You can simple just unlock system UI Tuner
Bring down notifications. Long press the settings icon. You will now have access to system UI tuner
Thanks .now I done it . Every day you learn something new

Holding on the settings icon does nothing for me. As soon as I let go it just loads the normal settings menu.

Are you sure you're bringing down the notification center from the status bar?
Bring that down and hold onto the top right settings icon. You have to hold down for 5 seconds

Yes, that's what I do. The phone vibrates but nothing happens.
I'm on UK 3 branded, so maybe it's been disabled in some way.

Didn't open anything but "settings" for me but then when I scroll down the menu ,it is above "about phone" and below "developer options"
Also I noticed my settings icon also has a wrench on it. I held it again and turned it off just to test, then I was able to turn it back on and even got a toast pop-up saying congrats it's enabled...

Nope. It works for me im using the three branded. When it vibrated there should be a toast notification saying its active. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the settings and there should be an option called system ui
Coming from a Huawei Mate 7 and 8, I'm completely familiar with the "unique" ways of how notifications are handled on Chinese phones and the hoops you have to jump through to make it work. With that said, i think I've met my match. Just received my NS global edition last week and for the life of me, i cannot get notification to work for one of my apps - Nine email. I have done the following:
1. Enable autostart in iManager
2. Grant all permissions (for the hell of it) in iManager
3. Allow all notifications in settings > status bar & notifications
4. Allow background consumption in settings > battery
5. Disable battery optimization in built-in Android battery setting (via GSam Battery monitor)
Despite all that...nothing is happening when the screen is off. I get the notification when screen is on but absolutely nothing when it's off. The phone is completely stock at this point, i have not done any ADB commands of that nature. Does anyone have other places to check that i might have overlooked? Thanks!
need to do this: settings-more settings-applications-installed-your app-permission-single permission settings- than activate all option than go back to notification and enable.what u want.

You're absolutely right! I'm so stupid..i did an export/import of the config for this app from the Mate 8 over and that broke the notification! Notification does work with all of those steps, i just have to do a fresh setup of the app! :laugh::good:
Hello there,
In my Rom on a new phone (blackview bv9900) some settings that I Set eher not saved.
After a reboot the specific settings are disabled.
Some settings for Apps in Accessibility settings, wireless in streaming settings and something more.
The Accessibility / streaming settings are important settings for me.
Is there a way to Set a persistence for this to enable it after a reboot?
This Stock Rom is a little bit buggy.
Kind regards
Chris
