[Q] Clear all notifications at once, just like SGS2

Is it possible by a setting / app / hack to add a "clear all" button in the notification area? I hate it to swipe each notification seperately :crying:
I really miss this feature as my phone, Galaxy S2, has it even in stock ROM.
Did try searching, but could not find an answer or even this same question...(yet)
FYI: I'm running CROMI 2.7.2

Tap the blue X at the bottom right when the notificationlist is open. (It's in the black bar)

[Q] Best Lecture Notes settings for Note taking in class

Hello,
Does anyone have suggestions for what they feel is the best settings to have a good note taking experience on the note 10.1?
Much appreciation!

What I do with LectureNotes is:
- enable GMD Gesture Control, Hide Status bar command
- Use spen button button for eraser
- pen toolbox enabled for easy color change
These 3 for me are the essentials

Thank you! Especially the eraser part. Anymore suggestions are very welcome.

Where is the gmd gesture control?

@gophy: I guess you have enabled `use stylus (hardware detection)´, haven't you? Most users enable `allow two fingers scrolling´, `allow two fingers zooming´, and `allow double-click zooming´ (some also `allow one finger scrolling´) in the app's input settings. If you observe jagged writing, try to enable the pressure filter with a threshold of 5% or. The other options are mainly a matter of taste.

Does anyone have a settings recommendation for Ruled Pattern and font size?
I keep fiddling with both and at some point down the page(s) my typed text goes below the ruled lines
Thanks in advance!

@Chaz9999: There is no general answer to your question, as the distance between baselines in the text layer is not fixed but can vary due to smaller/larger font size, subscript and superscript, etc.

Thanks for the response Acadoid!

maybe you should also increse the threshold value in the input filter settings.

My spen button isn't working, when click it, nothing happens. Do I have to enable it somehow?

@Calculating Infinity: You need to enable `use stylus button´ in the app's input setting, the function can be assigned in the `stylus button setup´ in the app's handling settings.
Note that Samsung devices do not deliver touch events with stylus button pressed, the system assigns own functionality to that. You need to enable `detect stylus button in hover mode´ in the stylus button setup in the app's handling settings; furthermore, you need to press and release(!) the stylus button close to the display surface but before actually touching the display.

You can now use your finger as erasing tool. Very useful. Just disable one-finger scrolling and enable one-finger erase.

I still feel like I don't have enough writing room. Is there anyway to make it switch to a new page automatically?

Yes. Click
Settings → Input → Use stylus buttons
Then you can configure your button. Therefore click
Settings → Handling → Setup Stylus buttons
You're welcome

@gophy: Automatically in which sense? Several of the scroll mechanism (page forward icon, volume keys, mouse wheel) automatically add new pages when needed, also the auto-movement tool or the input zone.

S-pen removal notification

This notification is one of the few problems I have with the device.
I don't need it to display this notification every time I remove the pen and it seems useless since I have to be looking at the device to even notice the notification. I'm not sure how they expect me to see the notification but somehow not notice that the pen has been removed. So, we have a useless notification that ends up blocking a key feature to the device: the edge screen. I often find myself waiting a few seconds or having to click the X just to use the edge panel with my most used apps. It's a small difference, but kind of significant when it should be something that takes almost no time at all. I just want to be able to pull out the pen and have immediate access to my panel of apps.
I've gone through the settings and can't find a way to disable this notification. I'm really not sure how they thought this notification was a good idea and not having an option to turn it off is just a poor choice. Has anyone found a way to disable it?

I agree this needs to be removed. Not really a fix, but to save some time, you don't actually have to press the little X. I found that tapping anywhere on the notification will dismiss it immediately. Hope that helps for now.

Settings > S-Pen > Pen detachment >
Detachment option none

We're not talking about the Air Command menu. The problem is the notification that slides in from the edge screen (blocking its functionality) whenever the pen is removed. "S Pen has been detached."

Sorry.
I do remember seeing somewhere where you can turn it off but can't remember if I find it I'll post it.

I'm still looking for a fix for this. More specifically, the big pen splash I get whenever the S-Pen is attached. It just does it repeatedly with me barely moving.

S7 Flat Notifications

Hi, i've recently aquired the Galaxy S7 and right now i'm really happy with it. The question is about how the notifications appears on the lockscreen or the notification panel. Somehow the quick buttons of a notification are visible more to the right and not well centered i think. That's the little problem, more esthetic than other thing but i want to know if it happens to all or is it just me.
PS: I attach screenshots with the version of Android, screen adjustments and the notification itself.
Thanks in advance.

Well, it actually depends on the app since not all of the notifications have those controls. So it's not a problem, because everyone has those controls to the right. But if you want to change those controls you must install a custom rom, otherwise there is not much you can do about it.

Are you talking about the clickable notification banners that appear in both the notification drop-down and on the lock screen? From your screenshots they don't appear to be more toward the right than the left to me. The text appears to the right of the avatar/app icon block, but that's normal in order to make room for the images. Or maybe I'm missing your point?
EDIT:
If you're talking about the RESPONDER and RETWITTER button links, they look very centered under the text body of the banner notification message. Again, the text body is positioned to the right to account for the image area on the left.

Sorry if my point doesn't understend very well. Yes, what a mean is about the RESPONDER and RETWITTER buttons and so the heart button, it has to say ME GUSTA or something like that. With my other smartphone (XPERIA Z1) this not happened. So this is why im consulting this, if it's something normal of GALAXY S7 or app related.

I think your screenshot shows them in the normal position. They are right-aligned within the banner rectangle and fairly well centered under the text block above them. You have to realize those links that you call buttons are themselves additional text, so will appear appended within the text block area which is right-aligned to allow for the image area on the left.

Swipe from the bottom notification window

Has there ever been a tweak or mod where you can have your notification window come from the bottom instead of top? Seems it would be a great feature with the additional screen size.

Nova launcher can do that with gestures. Or there's a setting in the phone to swipe down on the fingerprint sensor to pull the notification panel down or back up.

What I was meaning is kinda like the control center on the iphone when you swipe up from the bottom of the screen. Just totally move the notification screen to the bottom of the screen once you swipe up.
The furthest you're going to reach your finger is to swipe down from the top for the notification window so why not put it at the bottom being that it's something being used a lot through out the day.
I will say samsung has done a lot for reachability just that one little thing I think would make a huge deal.

Sorry, looks like that feature hasn't been around since ICS.

I'm curious if it's even possible with a custom rom. I always questioned this too. When I had the iPhone 4, I hated switching to iOS 6, but the swipe up from the bottom to access your quick settings was a stroke of genius and got me to actually enjoy it even more after jailbreaking it because you could tweak the odd cosmetics.
iPhone was able to do it through a software update. Why can't Android? What's the limitation and what makes it so limited that no one has been able to accomplish this? Genuine question and interest.
Galaxy S8+ is a phenomenal phone that I think will take quite a bit to outdo it, but the biggest problem with having massive screens is reaching those quick settings. Even with the edge bar, it's still not the same. And the swipe gesture with the fingerprint scanner is neat but that doesn't get you the quick settings a person needs with one hand as well as accessing the notifications.
It would very nice to have that reversed. I have big hands and it's still a pain to always have to use the phone with two hands for those quick things people like to do. Like adjusting brightness, muting, flashlight, Bluetooth etc.
Maybe one day they'll realize people still hold their phones with one hand every now and again and try to tailor that there notification panel accordingly :silly:

It is possible!
It can be done even with an app.
but it can be confusing because of Navigation Buttons at the bottom.
and in this way using this on custom rom can be better >> set nav bars little bit higher and then notification bar below that.......
I think after this idea you will see lots of mods and apps
If I decide to do it I will inform you

I always wanted that swipe down for quick access to controls in ios on Android. Why haven't they implemented that yet? Took them many years to have a "night mode" on Android.

Have never really understood the ergonomics of it. Bottom Status Bar should at least be an Xposed Module!
