[Q] customis the smart cover lock screen

Hi all,
I am using smart cover for my mate 7, my question is how can I customis or edit the smart cover lock screen to add for example extra page or open, dial, send SMS, open the open the call log or change the background!
Thanks

I had same question , tried many times but couldnt change smart cover picture . also i am unable to find smart lock ? having problem connecting bluetooth to my win 10 vaio, it is connected but i cant send data from phone to pc ! it fails . but i can receive from pc to phone.

Same problem for me with Lollipop on me MT7-LT10
I have upgrade my phone (in local) with the official B324 and i can't change the smartcover background, even when i try to change it by the theme menu, its always the picture with a bridge.
@ sabkt : the smart lock is for me in the "locksreen" menu in "other" section

One more here how we can change this ????

Same. I am done with Huawei. First they take years to update, we'll probably never even see Android 6. Their build quality equals total ****. I have had a replaced display by service center 2 TIMES NOW for screen bleed of whites and other lighter colors (in the middle of the screen, random places, etc. And then they manage to screw up one of the things they got right. The old clock and music player were amazing.

Same problem ... no solution???

Same problem here, and the impossibility to change the background it's very annoying

Whilst I wish I could change the picture, I don't miss music from the lock screen. I use PlayerPro and the built-in Music would override it on the lock screen plus it was forever randomly starting (Presumably I was catching the lock screen accidentally).

I having the Same problem too. After the update, I only can see miss call and message notification. I not able to see other than that to notification. Does anyone know how to configure this?

Same problems with me.
Is there some third party app which can to change default bridge picture theme on lolipop?

Also annoyed by this new lock. Want to at least be able to change wallpaper there.

This seems to be a general problem for Huawei/Honor phones.
I can not adjust anything on my Huawei G8 smart cover screen either. It's not the background picture that annoyes me, but that no notifications are display (except that the phone is ringing). Luckily I can switch off the smart cover screen. This way I can see the notification bar at least. Since I have enabled to show the notifications with a swipe over the fingerprint sensor I can view the top most notifications w/o opening the cover.

Hi all,
Try the EMUI Theme Editor app on google play - i havent used it myself for the SmartCover, but it has got an option to change Smart Cover background. Has alot of other useful tools to change EMUI.

Camera button problema on lollipop

Camera app button isn't on the edge screen after update to lollipop . Why? Anyone has that problem?
See attached screen capture. Srry for my english.

It's not a problem...it's changed in lollipop

Yeah. They changed it, fo r some really stupid reason. Morons.

But I see some reviews on youtube, and it's on the right place. On lollipop. They has another variant of Lollipop? Maybe will come an update.
It's possible to install camera app from KitKat? With root...

See the video on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_dR-5ZKC2E
Min: 1:12 ...
Why on that review from Sammobile, the camera app has the shotter button on the edge screen?

The camera button on the edge was only in the leak version of Lollipop. In the official build of Lollipop they decided to put it back on the main screen.

This is a stupid change.

I dont think it was a completely dumb move as some people and reviewers strongly expressed that they hated having the button on the edge. I myself quite liked the placement of the buttons on the edge. I think the right move would've been to give us both options and let us choose where we want the button

I totally agree with tospace2006, they should give us an option, where we want to have the button. I prefer the button also in the edge.
I do not want them wrong, samsung offering us the top we can have in high end, but I think, that the option where we want to have the button is highly unlikely to be implemented in the next update.
Their main focus is now on the S6/S6 Edge now..
Anyway I like the button in edge, because then we have on the screen more space to see the scene we want to shoot. I think digital cameras should have hardware button also in the screen
This is probably only up to us, I've saw already edge camera wit edited compression values and time recording here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/themes-apps/app-mod-camera-quality-mod-time-limit-t2961363 we should give them proporsal to make lolipop camera with edge screen

How can I use my entire screen?

I don't need the edge functionality of the phone and would just like to use that portion for whatever is on my screen instead. I experimented with Nova launcher and it removed the edge panel...but only part of it. The edge panel is gone but I still see a thin black bar all the way at the right side of the screen remaining. I want to completely use the entire screen of the phone. So is there a way to remove the black bar and maximize my screen real estate? I feel like maybe a custom rom would do that but I don't wanna go that far unless I know it achieves that.

I kinda had the same problem as you . The edge wasn't very important to me . Flashing a custom rom did help me in achieving that . The first rom I tried was RR by micky I it comes with a omni switch so ya can turn on/off the edge functionality . But if ya prefer to be on MM I would recommend noble rom it comes with an edge panel but is invisible for most of the time ; . I personally use n915f with noble rom and Micky's kernel . Hope this helps

Do you get the ENTIRE screen or is there a remaining thin black bar? Nova Launcher got rid of the edge panel and gave me more screen but I'm still left with a thin black bar on the side so I'm not utilizing my entire screen as I wanted. Can you show me a picture of your phone with either of those roms? I don't want to go through the headache of installing it only to find out its like Nova in the end result of a thin black bar leftover. And will those roms work on an at&t Note edge? Thanks for your response

Due to some unknown reasons am unable to upload a screenshot "network error". Could ya please check noble rom thread ( OP : Albe96) under the development section . He has uploaded some screenshots which will give you a better idea . The title says it works for only Fy&G versions but with the right kernel it worked fine for me on 915f . Am not sure if it works on at&t version of edge . Maybe you can post a question under the rom thread sure somebody will help you
Update : I don't have any black bars.

I meant pictures like an actual pic, not screenshot because I wanted to see if the black bar was visible. But its okay, I appreciate the info you provided. I'll take a look at that now but might not risk it because it doesn't sound like its compatible with the at&t Note Edge.

it would be nice to use the entire screen to display everything

Do you know what the screen size is without the edge panel? Like say I'm using a web browser or some other app and the edge panel is gone now, how big is the display with the edge panel out? 5.4, 5.5 or 5.6 inches? And how big is everything total with the edge panel included?

dont think its possible ,its two separated screens ?

No it's definitely one screen.
I'm in the same situation. Couldn't get the Noble ROM working on my F device unfortunately. I uninstalled the Cocktailbar service to get rid of the edge panel (sped up the device quite a bit BTW). Nova wallpaper covers the entire screen now but the display of the icons gets trimmed off when scrolling.
A Note compatible application will show under an app that gets clipped short and if you window an application, you can drag it to cover the curved portion of the screen so on a system level, it is possible to utilise the entire screen.
There must be a configuration setting somewhere that defines the application rendering area. As a relative Android newbie, does anyone know where such a setting may be found?

Thanks for your response to my post. Even after all this time I'm still trying to get this phone to utilize the entire screen. I'm not sure how you uninstalled Cocktailbar service because I didn't get an option to do so. I have Nova launcher which did get rid of the edge panel but there's still a thin black line on the side of the phone. When the edge panel exists, it utilizes the entire screen but when I remove it by using Nova launcher, I lose the edge panel but I still can't maximize my screen usage because of the thin black bar left on the side. This is so frustrating.

if you dial the service mode , you can test both screen separately , main panel and edge panel , not sure if it one screen at all , thats why note edge is the only curve screen that works ?

I used Uninstall which you can get from the play store. Requires root access, really speeds up the phone when you remove it.
I found a hacky way to get the screen to extend nearly all the way to the edge by dropping the DPI of android system process to 50 and then overriding the DPI of everything else to the normal 640. System notifications are stupidly small and unusable though as well as any edge apps like the camera, see attached. Best option is to bite the bullet and get a Note 4 ROM working I think.
Weird I find the edge screen much more useful without the specialist software. Fast scrolling with a full screen is lovely on the edge bit.

Download and flash a AOSP Rom or Note 4 Rom and then I'd recommend Total Launcher
I'm using MRU Widget as my homescreens softkey row.

Yeah, eventually my tinkering made my phone go bang so I had to reflash. Bit of a pain but can't recommend it high enough. I went for the ROM below, a Note 7 adaption and it's awesome. Have to tinker a bit to get finger prints working but it's straight forward enough.

Hi, I flashed a Note 4 ROM on my Note Edge yesterday, only to find the entire screen worked as a whole! But an issue showed up: https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/help/camera-app-interfaces-malposition-issue-t3960314

[Question] How to skip lockscreen password with non-stock camera app ?

Hi everyone,
For the short version i 'd like to know if there is a possibility to skip the lockscreen password when launching a non-stock camera app for the lockscreen shortcut ?
For the longer version :
It all started 6 month ago when i updated my S7 (exynos) with the Oreo update (via OTA). Short after this update, i started to notice some picture taken with my stock camera app were really bad, like compressed for MMS.
The phenomenon seems kinda random and can appear on any light condition (even outiside with good daylight). I factory reseted my phone but the problem remain.
So after a while living with this issue, is installed recently a GCAM prot for S7 which seems to give way better quality than stock (need to be confirmed in the long term). I decided to replace the stock camera app on all the shortcuts on my phone (launcher and lockscreen). And here comes my question :
The password skip function when launching stock camera app is really handy. so is there a way to have the same function on any camera app ? (i would love the same function with the calculator app ^^)
Am i the only one facing stock camera quality issue since oreo udate ? i found no thread in the forum.
Thank you in advance

You can chose any shortcuts you wish for the lock screen which bypass the screen lock to use, look on the lockscreen setting menu.

Choosing the shortcut is not my problem.
Right now, the only shortcut that skip the password screen is the camera. Even the default phone shortcut doesn't do that.

And I don't have any option in Lockscreen settings to choose which app bypass or not

You have an odd problem I always use the default camera app from the lockscreen and the quality is the same as launching the app from the home screen....I'm guessing is working properly when you lunch it from the launcher?

Anybody else having issues with the new Android 11 update?

UI transitions, pulling down the notifications or pulling up the app drawer seems laggy/slow frame rate.
Battery drain: the battery used to last at the very least 48h. Now I'm recharging it every 24/28h
Factory reset didn't solve anything for me.

laggy here too. Good info, now I know Factory reset it's useless.
Other issue I have:
some app don't use anymore or not properly border / edge.
I think downgrade to Android 10.

Haven't got it yet, in the US.

Same lagging in Android 11 on Edge.
I also have Edge+, on Edge+ no change.

Went back to Android 10...

I found a solution, I'll post it later. Battery is ok for me.

This works for me:
Go to Developer options and disable "Enable blurs". That option provides a blur on the screen, for example, behind the notification panel when we slide it.
You need to perform a reboot. After rebooting, all animations and transitions work fine. Let me know if it is useful.
Related with this: When "Enable blur" is enabled and you are broadcasting screen, you will notice a problem in vertical mode. Try swiping the notification bar... can you see how the resolution expands on the TV? I'm sure that's related to the lag.

It can be a motorola decision have border screens and dont be used properly, some apps dont use the edges now and i see my backscreen wallpepare in the sides when im using spotify. Is horrible and it shouldnt be like that!

I have the same problems as you guys and also now i have to wait half of a second to start recording an audio on whatsapp or instagram, and before the update it was perfect.... Does someone know how to do a downgrade?

I updated my Moto Edge 5g 6days ago, and changed the Blur option as advised by Cruban and my phone is working fine.
The battery seems the same as it was before and i don't have any issues with the non edge apps and the wallpaper.

For me too at first!
After disable turn off "Enable blur" and restart the phone , everything's work fine

I have receive new update today
RPD31.Q4U-39-26-14
fixed
- Laggy performance on the home screen
- Edge Display (or lack thereof for most apps on Android 11).
