Everyday im finding out maybe samsung didnt do too bad on this phone.. i have a vibrant and swore to never get another samsung phone.. but im ordering this next week i hated the button layout cause in portrait hitting home at the top is kinda funky but with the holding back button feature im feeling okay about this phone. Thanks a ton

Ya that was my one thing I didn't like. But once I figured out the back button I don't have any problems with the phone at the moment. Samsung did a really nice job on this phone

Holding down Home will open the notification panel (good I guess if you are using apps in full screen?)
Make sure you set up your jump shortcuts! They are awesome to have
Something I missed at first: There is a small arrow on the right side of the universal composer in the notification panel (where you'd update your twitter/fb) -- if you click the arrw, you'll get toggles for wifi, bluetooth, gps, silent, and auto rotation.
JUMP + R!
My favorite feature! The JUMP + R combo! If you haven't tried it, check it out. I don't know what it will do for you, but it frustrated ME!

Jump + R opens up the Jump menu screen for me because "R" isn't a previously assigned shortcut.... ?
Did you try assigning JUMP + R to anything? ;-)

Thats what I am saying, I dont have anything assigned to it, so it doesn't do anything. You made it sound like it was going to do something hidden!
Since you don't get my humor, and obvioulsy haven't tried it yourself, I'll spell it out for you... there is NO JUMP + R. They forgot the 'R' in the jump menu list. I guess you can say it IS hidden.

LMAO, sorry. Too much vodka? Too little sleep? I'm just like "seriously it wont do anything until I actually assign it, geez!"
But you're right - how weird. I wonder if they did that intentionally?!
Hope I'm not ruining a joke or anything, but when I hit Jump + R, my phone reboots. And I definitely didn't set it up to do that.
More specifically, it vibrates, then does 2 quick vibrations after a moment, and then after a few more seconds reboots.
I have a similar problem but mines not with JUMP +R it just randomly does the vibrate and reboot thing.
Haven't set jump keys yet. But just found the toggle switches on the notification bar. Haven't found ay other "hidden" features yet.

One that carries over from the Galaxy line: if you drag your finger right/left over the menu bar it will adjust the brightness (if you have auto brightness turned off)

This is an Alpha test build of CleanROM with CoreDroid Suite Tools by Sergio76; to be known as CleanTOOLS.
Test is closed! I appreciate all the help given from everyone willing to take there time to test this out on a busy Monday morning!
Reported issues
HW Buttons will not remap to "Menu"
When selecting any of the settings under the capacitive button mods for lighting duration / brightness nothing changes.
Wow, so many updates today. AOKP, Xi40, and now this. Thanks for the hardwork man and inducing my flashaholic self.

Expect issues.
Downloading now. Will report back sir.

Should fastboot be disabled and is this de-odex?
Will give this a flash soon as I get home Scott been using your rom as a daily driver since I got my hox
Will post any bugs, fcs or reboots if I find any
And happy you stayed on xda your one of the best devs in my opinion
Downloading now, looks great.
Will report any issues.
Rom is very smooth. Currently i am testing the clean tools and few things dont work .
Mapping the recent apps button to menu doesnt work
And disabling the 3dot menu doesnt work . It just keeps coming ...
I will keep testing

Still trying to get a menu button, the hardware key settings in clean tools seems to be fouled. Set menu to long press home it works, three dot menu still present in apps however, custom text on lock screen doesn't work, loop scroll home pages doesn't work, custom background image quick settings doesn't work.
Will test more tom.

I can also confirm the remapping issue with the "recent apps" hw button.
Any chance to add in the app drawer dimensions as a choice?
This is looking really good, I've been waiting for a new cleanrom to come out, thanks for all the work!
Flashed and testing.
1) Battery percent icon, numbers could be thicker like the 4.1 SE battery. Hard to read.
2) Hide operator name in status bar all the time as an option would be nice, not just lockscreen.
3) Set Recent apps button to Menu. Doesn't do anything. Set long press to Menu also does nothing.
4) Would like to change the app drawer. I like more items, but some might like 4x5 or whatever instead, like stock.
Did some other settings, like no animation on unlock, quick settings as recent with no current alerts and other options, seems to be working.
That is just what I found off the bat.
Will report back with more.
Otherwise, I really like where this is heading!!!

Its just finicky to say the least. But it does appear the Menu option will not work at this time but the other options do seem to be working.
Keep the bugs coming.
It would appear from the screen caps that this is using the stock ICS multitasking. Does that mean it's fixed???!!!???
captiva button mods dont seem to be working ( unless a reboot is required after selecting something ) although no pop up shows stating this.

Maybe im just overlooking, but i cant find the option to toggle landscape vs portrait screen rotation... Anyone else confused by this.. Im in chrome browser trying to view a page in landscape...
its in accessibility in the main settings. or, if you pull down the notification twice, its called portrait(not in stock).

Quick settings toggle, and Settings>Display>When device is rotated.

A little bit of insight...
Ive just upgraded my stock nexus 5 to lollipop OTA, started playing arround with settings and accidentally clicked invertColours.
I later noticed this was in my toggles pull down, and screen rotate was not.
After manually toggling screenrotation in accessibility settings, it appeared in the toggles pulldown (still keeping colour invert).
Is there any documentation from google describing how toggles behave, and how to add/remove them?
This is very interesting, becuz when I posted this thread.. I went found screen rotate in accessibility thanks to the responses... Then Afterwards I noticed it in the pull down... And I was thinking to myself "wow has this really been in the pull down and I didn't even notice it" but apparently based on ur observation, the pull down changes... This makes me feel good , I no longer feel like a idiot now haha...

So the menu button used to be on S3 / Note 3 / etc other Samsung phones has been replaced with the recent apps button. Is there any way I can sort the apps in alphabetical order instead of the manual way now? I liked that feature in my Note 3, how do I go to settings page in an app without the button?

That's odd. Double check your Accessibility settings to see if there's something in there causing that behavior.

i think it's default, i'm on t-mobile and any app i have open, long pressing recent apps button goes to split screen mode. I do however have a moveable floating menu widget that i can move around and also tap to show a menu screen for a few of my apps.

If that's the default, that's brutal. I really hope my Canadian S6 isn't going to be like that.
Worst case, I guess there are always ROMs or root-based mods.
In the upper right corner of the app drawer is the sort alphabetically button.

Because for a lot of people the option simply isn't there. I believe it was added in a software revision that went out some time after the review units were sent out, but that's just speculation.

Ah okay well then that makes perfect sense
The Canadian S6's are like that too, you can rearrange the apps how you want them but no alphabetical. Also, you need lightflow to control the LED, I'm coming from the oneplus one and I miss the control of the LED!
Uk S6 doesnt have option either, really irritating not being able to auto arrange. why on earth did they remove that?!
On my sprint s6 I can sorry by ABC from an icon in top right of the app drawer... I click it... And it sorts them...
OMG did they really get rid of this? It is not there on the Canadian model.
Also removed on german Vodafone model. :/
Also not on the Australian model on Telstra.

HA! So I move to the country yesterday and the first thing I do after getting over my jet lag is go pick one up. This phone is awesome! Truly the only thing bothering me not being able to sort my app drawer.
Funnily enough if you can be bothered you can still move all the app icons into alphabetical order.....
I just updated my Pixel 3 from Google to July Android 10, stock rooted with Magisk, and noticed that the Google Pay card switcher (long press on power button) was active. I ended up shutting it off, because I wasn't planning on using Google Pay. Well, I changed my mind and set it up, but now I can't reenable having the card switcher. There is now no switch to reenable it in the Pay app.
Any thoughts?
In settings, type power in the search bar at the top. Then look for "show cards & passes". Turn it on and it should get you the card switcher back. If it's not there, I don't know what to tell you.

In a million years I would never have thought to check there... Why that setting is not in the Google Pay app is beyond me... Oh well, the miracles of Android never fail to amaze, and confuse! Now, if I can get my dialer app back into light mode, I would be happy!
