[Q] Android Apps Bouncing Up & Down / Lockscreen Issue - General Questions and Answers

I'm using the Acer A210 if that makes any difference.
I've wiped and installed different ROMs and the bouncing app bug persists, I've searched EVERYWHERE for a solution but can't seem to find one.
No matter what app I use a bar will come up between the status bar and actual app the same thickness as the status bar. On the old ROM I used it used to only rarely happen and only happen often in the Google Voice app but now with the new ROM I have installed (was forced to update ROM as I woke up and suddenly the tablet wouldn't go passed the Acer boot screen) it's on EVERY app I use and drives me crazy. I'm pretty sure it's not a hardware issue as it's only persistent in apps, never on the homescreen, lockscreen, nor does the status bar move, thus the screen itself isn't projecting the pixels to move, it's something within the coding itself I assume.
My other issue I'm having is my lockscreen is completely locked to landscape mode and I'd like for it to be able to be locked to portrait or at least have the ability to auto-rotate, I'm sure that's the easier to solve problem of the two but they're both driving me nuts.
If I could get some codes for the files I need to edit and a simple how-to that'd be amazing.
Any workarounds are welcome and any help is appreciated, thanks!

[Q] google image search swipe problem. PLEASE HELP!

can't find anything on this. I have an htc evo 4g lte. s-off. on viper (or any sense rom) when swiping to scroll through image results, the thumnails pages are not landing precisely on the next page. it's off by like one or a half of a thumbnail. the bar with the page numbers and arrows move with the swipe. touching an image then proceeds to show the wrong image. if I start on the first page it will work fine by tapping the right arrow instead of swiping. this started with jb. now on aosp roms this happens but only if I scroll up or down before or durring swipe left. I don't understand it and it's driving me crazy. in sense roms it does it no matter what. searching for help on this is useless as the search criterea brings up a slew of unrelated topics. am I missing something? I find it hard to believe this problem is limited to my device.
here is an example

New infinite scrolling google images works fine effectively negating the possibility of my side scrolling issue (obviously) so if any moderator sees this thread, go ahead and close it.

Nougat/Oreo quick settings: Another must have app for this phone!

If you're anything like me you have a nasty habit of reading on your phone before bed in the dark. Even at its lowest setting this phone is still very bright stock. I went through several screen dimming apps and all of them required me to open an app and put a persistent notification on my status bar/notification bar.
I stumbled upon nougat/Oreo quick settings (free in the play store) and it offers a full suite of goodies, some require root but most don't. One of the best is the night mode. It's a simple toggle like WiFi, Bluetooth, ect and dims the screen perfectly for night time reading.
I'm sure this feature will be implemented in custom ROMs but as the phone currently stands this is a must have app for me.

Pretty cool toggle, it would be awesome if it toggled the native Motorola night mode with the color filter, rather than just lowering the overall screen brightness.
Better than nothing, thanks

Hi there, got my Fold 2 yesterday and living it so far.
When I first installed action with my previous backup from old phone, the layout on the front and inside screen was fine! (albeit small icons). Now however, whatever icon grid layout I choose, the icons on the front screen are squished and app drawer is bonkers.
I have tried reinstalling the backup, restarting the app etc to no avail.
Not trying to have two different layouts for the front and inner screen, just trying to get it to look OK.
Any help on what grid layout I should be using?
You cant use much more than 5 and not run into issues depending on your layout. I'd decide the grid you want first and then go into the options and adjust the icon size so they fit. That may in turn have you deciding to change the grid again. Fiddle with it until you find a good balance. I use 5 because that's as small as I can go on the front screen without occasionally tapping the wrong icon because they're so shrunk and close together. I'm old, a younger person might make 6 or more work. You're going to have to fiddle with it and find your own groove.
Sure wish Lacy would update the app, a lot more folding, rollable, stuff coming...

Showing last phone screen on launcher bug

First of all, sorry if this isn't the right place. It would not allow me to post in question/answers.
I am experiencing a bug (Note 20 Ultra N9860, HK version but being used in the States) where I end a call and the last screen from the phone app is permanently overlaid over the launcher screen. This is not the app itself... It's not actually there and I can still launch icons that are beneath the overlay as if it wasn't there. It does this with several launchers. Nova is preferred but it does not go away when I switch back to the Samsung launcher. It's also visible when I go into the app switcher... Not sure if this is a coincidence but the overlay is the exact same size as the app previews in the app switcher.
I've attached some photos... Including one with the pop up view to show the difference as several people I've told about this bug think it's that and I'm dumb lol. There's also one of it showing using the app switcher.
Anyone else experiencing this or have a solution? The only thing I can do it restart the phone everytime I hang the phone up.

Oh and BTW I am on stock firmware.
did you experiment with call display when using other apps under settings? In case it makes a difference.
was the issue always there, since you got the phone?
try with Google phone dialer?

Are there any decent (preferably free) notification shade alternatives for our device?

Main reason for asking is how slow it is tapping a notification and it opening. Tried PowerShade from the Play Store and tapping notifications is as instant as it was pre A11. However, it's not a perfect solution and it's a subscription purchase of £10 a year... Which is mental but that's for another post.
Any root alternatives or tweaks that can be used to not only make opening notifications faster but hopefully change the appearance too?
Also is there anything that can be done about the "notifications" header? Never did like that either.

I mean thanks for explaining that the notifications in the notification shade are notifications, but I think I can work out they're notifications on my own.
Cheers.
I am not completly sure what you want to accomplish.
But perhaps you can look into Substratum and some good theme for that.

Very basically, all that I'm after is an alternative to the stock oneplus notification shade. I don't like anything about it aesthetically and it's slow to react to taps since OOS 11 dropped.
Substratum is a no-go as I don't trust it to not cause bootloops and the themes available are either straight garbage, massively overpriced or don't work with android 11.
