[Q] MCM12NIGHTLY: How to change the lockscreen wallpaper? - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I like the black color. I have setup an all black wallpaper in the launcher and in the drawer.
In the past (CM11M11) also my PIN lockscreen had an all black background by "simply"(tm) asking for "no wallpaper".
Everything was easily done within settings.
Now it seems to me that I need a theme in order "to just change the lockscreen wallpaper"(tm). I mean, whatever wallpaper I want.
Is my understanding correct?

Clearly none knows. Interesting how much knowledge we have here! :laugh:

Instead of being rude and useless here and insulting xda, why not Google? Took me literally 2 seconds.....Clearly you don't know Google Fu.....

If I sounded as rude, that wasn't intentional.
Your rudeness instead seems to be.
Simply I was not expecting to search the entire web in order to change a wallpaper in a flagship ROM like CM!
Do you expect to give a wallpaper file (JPG? PNG? SVG?) execution rights?
Now change the permissions to -rwx.

NEVER! That's distilled stupidity.
There is no "USB Debugging" option among the developer settings. I googled for that before checking.
It took me 2 seconds to realize that there are no stupid questions, only stupid answers.

Lol
Enjoy your day

MotoGP app

is there such an app for the MotoGP like the Formula1 app?
Can't help you with that although I'd be interested in any answers too.
I do have an HDWall you may like though, it'll only work if you have no "Start" text at the top of your screen and obivously looks better with the clock/weather layout side by side, but if you want it, let me know?
Roll on 10th April.
that would be very nice to have...

I would be interested in it to. Does it come with that clock etc?
There wont be an official one. Im already dying because of this lag as well... I sent a question to the guys from MotoGP.com who also made the App for the Iphone. They said, that development for WinMo would be too much work due to the wide variety of devices and that i should not expect a programm like that...

Here you go mate.
It's not a theme, just an HDWall wallpaper. If you haven't used one of these before you'll need "Cookies HQwallpaper Patch" too, a search on here will find it.
For that clock/weather layout you need "Cookies Home Tab" with the "Advanced Home Tab" mod (again these are easy to find on here) along with a selection of the transparency mods from the stickies at the top of this section and the "Remove Start text" mod too.
Any way, heres the HDWall.
Good luck.

[Req]Wallpaper in Sense 3.0 Lockscreen

I had this request a while back and it seems to have died off. Basically I was wondering if the fantastic developers here can figure out a way to get the wallpaper to show on the pattern, pin, or password lockscreen. Right now it is simply black and I think it doesn't look that good. Not a huge issue but one I'm sure can be solved. Here is what seo said about the issue over at his original thread.
"pattern/sim/password unlock black background instead of yours. please don't ask . I will not f*** up the entire android.policy trying to fix "just a background". live with it"
I know this would be extremely useful to a great deal of rom developers so please take consideration. Also I don't know if this is in the right section so mods please move it if you would like. Screenshot below.
I would like this to but i believe this belongs in the themes thread.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I honestly think this should be in development because there is going to have to be some manipulation of system files. I believe when you are manipulating images it should be within themes. This is not a theme but more of a modification that would be extremely useful to a ton of people. Can some developer please jump on this I would def donate.
This doesn't belong in this FORUM...bla bla bla!
Good idea though...even though I don't use that pattern lockscreen.
Moved to Themes and Apps.

How did this thread die out so fast. I was really hoping to get this development rolling.

Customise S-Pen Folder?

This, I am *sure*, has been asked before, and answered. In fact I'm fairly sure I already know the answer, at least according to the official reviews... but then XDA people have a habit of changing the "official rules"
Anyway, I was wondering if it is possible to customise the apps that appear in the pop-up folder, that comes up when you remove the s-pen from the holder.
Im pretty sure you can't, and that its mentioned as such in a review I read before buying the Note a couple days ago. (On ICS at least... I dont know if this has changed for Jellybean?)
But I figured, if anyone has found a way to change this, you guys would have!
I did try searching for the answer in the forums... but my problem was I didnt really know what that pop-up menu/folder thing is actually *called*, which made it difficult. I'm sorry if I missed something obvious!!
Thanks for any help
Should I take that as a no? Or at least a "not yet".
No, not the side folder however a lot of apps have been added to the pop-up menu at the bottom of the screen, in the themes section there's a thread with links to apps that have been modified to work in this.
Theres also a thread floating around that tells you how to alter an apk file to make it capable of this. The downside is that since you altered the apk file you can no longer update that particular app without then editing the files in the apk file to once again make it pop-up menu compatible...

Yeah I knew about the multiview menu alterations already, its a thread I've been following for a while. I was only asking because, after deleting pen physics, there is a gap in the pen folder I would have liked to make use of.
Too bad

If you go into Settings, and select under System, 'Pen', the last option is called 'Options after detaching pen'. You can pick one or more things to show up. Not sure if this is what you mean, but there you go...

Nah, I did know about that one. One of the options in that settings menu is "Open shortcuts toolbar". Thats the toolbar I am talking about.
Problem is, the toolbar has like 5 or 6 default apps in it.. only about 3 of them is any use. It would be nice to be able to change them to apps of my own choosing!!

Ah, ok, I know you can choose to have only a few or just one, but as far as I know you can only select or deselect the ones shown. As of right now you can't add any others. I think I read somewhere that possibly with 4.1 or 4.2 that may change. :fingers-crossed:

Are there themes yet that look like aosp?

I've looked around but couldn't find if there are any themes that make the phone look aosp. I'm on the fence right now between this and the G4. Google now launcher can take care of the home screen and app drawer, but want the menus and notification shade to look aosp as well. Possible? Last thing I need to know before pulling the trigger. Thanks

Sorry thot, I should have specified a non root theme. Didn't Samsung open their theme store for user submitted themes? I'm going to be test driving the phone and I doubt they'd like if I returned the phone in 14 days rooted with the efuse tripped....
Oh no. Nothing like that. All samsungs themes are cartoon or hipster garbage or an outright advertizement.

Question How to open/close notification centre with double tap home button in navigation bar customisation? Like in oxygen os.

This may be a small issue for you guys but I moved from OnePlus 6 and its killing me just because I can't do this customisation of dragging the notification bar down by double tapping the home button. I have small hands compared to the tall display of the rog 5 and I'm unable to reach the notification bar all the way up. MKBHD said this is the most ridiculous custom phone but where's my small custom. How do I place a request for this to asus? I'm helpless.
you can use swipe down in home screen for notification panel. similar to one plus.
is the double tab home button for the not center while in apps or in the home screen?
Man, some people like to complain instead of trying to learn how to use their phone. If you don't like the phone don't come and complain about it, simply sell it and move on instead of wasting others time.

i am not sure that i agree with you on this, xda forums and other communications platform were built to help people
yes the quuestion was fairly simple, however anyone has the right to ask.
also i think ROG 5 xda forums needs a mod who should create FAQs, restructure the forums, and moderate it.
if we continue like this it is going to be a mess, and hard to get something useful out of it

I'm with @m8822 on this one. This is the developer community; we defined #NeverSettle ages before OnePlus made a complete mess of that understanding. We're not here to accept what manufacturers force upon us. We don't need to learn how to use our phone, our phone needs to learn how to use us! No wait, that came out wrong. Anyway, you get the point
@Madridistas It's been a while since I've used any navigation replacements but you could give our in-house Navigation Gestures a go. I'm not sure if it provides double tap to notifications but may open another door to your goal. Only, ROG 5 is Android 11, isn't it? That probably won't work. Ah well, there's plenty others to try, like Gesture Control or Edge Gestures (or search for more). Whichever you find best, don't forget to get back here and tell us what you found working so it may help others in the future.
The forum mess is by design. Change is never easy... but it can be fun!

Wow, I am with @me on this. Everyone seems to not get the point that I was making, you have the very right to come here @xda, ask whatever questions you feel is needed to be answered, after atleast doing your part(share) of understanding the thing you have.
It's like "someone asking where are my eye glasses, when they are over his head because he forgot he put them over there at the first place and then asking everyone passing if they saw them".
The point is: "GET TO THE POINT", no need to complain about something not related to the question, at the same time do your share of investigating something.
If you look @my account, you will know I am not a newbie, I have asked and answered, created many threads helping others!. So please spare me the... "I, we have the right speech...."
Thanks for your time, and sorry for the irrelevant comment!
Edit: I might seem harsh with my response, but I don't know why when I read the post the first time it seemed like the author was complaining, so I am not sure if he edited the post, or it was my bad coming the way I did. Anyway I apologize if i did, no offense intended.

Yeah, your comment seems quite harsh up until the edit. Ah well
You may have missed the (attempt to a) humorous tone in my message. Text, huh.
We surely don't need to snap at each other. I'm not having that kind of discussion.
The post wasn't edited btw.
And I get your point but no need to drag @me, @xda and @my account into this

This may not be a perfect solution but... if you dont mind using a home launcher, Nova launcher has customizable gestures. You can set "double tap the home screen (not button)" to expand notifications. im coming from a 6t also and currently using Nova with the "swipe down" option to expand notifications and double tap to lock the screen.
edit: There is also an option to single tap the home button to expand the notifications while on home screen. so if you are inside an app, say google chrome, you would essentially double tap to open notifications.
1 tap takes you home.
2 taps opens notifications.
Here's how to add Android 11's double-tap gesture to any phone
An app called "Tap, Tap" adapts the shelved Android 11 double-tap gesture for use with almost any modern device running Nougat 7.0 and above.

I can do the swipe down at home in any phone but I can't do it inside an app like WhatsApp or chrome. You know how far the top is to reach with the thumb in ROG phone. I'm attaching the settings screenshot from OnePlus.

Thank you, that's very helpful but I wish I could have this same feature in the stock rom let me try nova and get back here.
