Samsung VR with Hacker -s6 - Universal - V7 Kernel and Ambasdii v1.4.2 rom is giving me issues. First when S6 is inserted in VR glasses the screen goes green stripped then eventually loads Occulus home screen but the colors are dithered ( like 8 bits instead of 16 or 24)..... Also there are a few distinct "lines" or different color pixels that form a line in all VR views..... Any thoughts?

Hi,
Does anybody know if it is possible to have the negative effect feature in Xoom (more specifically in the TeamEOS 3 JB)?
In my SGS2 I'm using the Siyah kernel and it has this features (it is called "mDNIe negative effect"), and it allows you to click the home button 4 times and have the colors on your screen inverted.
This is really useful, specially when you an app with white background that you want to use at night.
This feature is standard on the iPhone, there it is called "White on Black".

This is more a request/plea for help to devs than a question, but basically, I've been playing around with adjusting the DPI (using Xposed + App Settings) of my Edge for 'bout 2 days straight now and because of the way Edge Panels/Cocktailbar service interact with the rest of the UI, it's been a rather rough 2 days. To summarize my findings:
1) Changing the DPI of Android System also adjusts the width of the area allocated to the Edge. *
2) Changing the DPI of cocktailbarservice ONLY changes how various panels are stacked together. *
3) Changing the DPI of individual panels ONLY changes the total size of the panel UI but NOT the area it's allocated. *
*These are all rather confusing so the screenshots below should clear things up.
I'll be working with 6 different things here:
a) Android System
b) Cocktailbar service (com.samsung.android.app.cocktailbarservice)
c) EdgeBoard panel (com.yotsumo.edgeboard)
d) Briefing panel (com.samsung.android.app.catchme)
e) RAM Usage Manager panel (com.samsung.android.app.ramusagemanager)
f) Quick tools panel (com.samsung.android.cocktailbar.quicktool
To simplify things, I'll be changing between only two DPIs: 640 (stock) and 320. Each set of screenshots will be labeled with the letters a-f. Uppercase means it's set at 640. Lowercase means it's set at 320. Also, remember that if you want to reproduce any of these for yourself, that "Apply res to widgets" must be checked for all DPI-adjusted Edge panels.
Set 1 - ABcdef
http://imgur.com/a/BmBTw
Set 2 - AbCDEF
http://imgur.com/a/kh8Y6 (Imgur REALLY doesn't like two of the screenshots here. Just ignore them. You get the point.)
Set 3 - aBCDEF
http://imgur.com/a/74hLH
You can do a few dozen more combinations (well 61), but I the pattern should be clear now. Setting it to abcdef (all 320) does result in an non-glitchy, usable, and thinner panel, but even then, only the EdgeBoard panel (of what I've downloaded) properly adjusts to the full length. The others just leave a blank space under them.
Now what I personally think (and hopefully some of you here will agree with me) would be optimal is if we could adjust the size of the allocated panel area as well as the size of the panel itself, independent of the Android System's DPI (320 works great for me on just about everything, but the Edge panel at this point is WAY too narrow). Could this be implemented somehow either through some hacking away at internals or perhaps an elegant Xposed Module? See link for what my screen looks like currently: http://imgur.com/XpvjkMD
thanks for this post i was looking for this,i am thinking of picking up a note edge next week.i am currently using a note 3 with many modifications like darklord rom 5.0.1 ,360dpi(stock 480),v4a ,system ui mods,about 25 xposed modules etc.
so what about changing the per app dpi like just changing system ui or whatsapp messenger and others?? does it affect the side screen(edge)???i will use nova launcher and definitely not tw launcher.
i saw v4a on screenshots.so its working fine in normal mode with everything convoler??
i am curious because i will be selling my note 3 to go for the edge, so is it worth getting edge and can do all customizations or i must stick with note 4?
thanks.

New Edge UI
Always On Display
Motion Panorama.
too many to list. but I guess off the top of my head:
the display:
literally the best consumer display in the world with virtually perfect professional reference level color fidelity, paper-like clarity with no diagonal edge bias (due to innovative proprietary diamond subpixel arrangement), infinite contrast and eye punching brightness that maintains perfectly even saturation and contrast unlike with lcd. Moreover the Screen calibration feature allows for various color space standards which is a must-have for professional photography or graphic work. Extremely High sensitivity screen allows for gloved use. Only just enough bezel to allow for screen edge swiping with a case installed leaving the device as narrow as possible making it much more nimble for one handed use and a bit less pants pocket stretching. Always on display is great as it allows me to check the time, date and notifications without having to turn on my phone--far superior in so many ways to the old way of decoding the color and speed of the flashing led.
Samsung pay:
their proprietary technology allows the device to simulate a magnetic card swipe which works anywhere unlike android pay and apple pay which only work on certain terminals. It constantly amazes everyone.
IP68 water and dust proof:
As beautiful as the S7 is it is indeed a fingerprint magnet. This is a problem with many phones so stylishly slick but unlike other phones when the S7 loses its lustre you can simply rinse it off under the sink and polish it off with a bath towel--good as new.
Powered USB otg with support for so many add ons:
gaming controllers, midi keyboards, file storage, keyboards, mice. I was surprised to find that I can charge another device with my phone and even spin up and operate a USB hard disk without any need for additional power cables.
the camera:
so amazing I use it for augmented vision. Not only can I inspect from the distance whether that little spot on the wall is a fly or a spider without getting off my lazy ass but I can see and read things where it would otherwise be far too dim for my eyes to see without need for additional lighting. Oh yea, and it also takes amazing pictures in just two clicks. I never miss a shot because even in the rare times when I would I can rely on motion photo to reverse time and recapture the picture just how I wanted. The expanding library of camera modes just kick it over the edge of awesomeness. In real world use I tend to switch between auto, pro, rear selfie, slow motion, and gif maker. I use burst a lot too which is available whenever you press and hold the shoot button.
ui:
I've found split screen and pop up mode more and more useful for working with and between multiple apps. Web browsing and reading while streaming music or watching YouTube and/or chating just feels great. I use my laptop so little these days which is so much better for my posture. Text selection is also improved paired with the hypersensitive screen. You can rely on the precision of the tip of your thumbnail and not the blunt tip of your finger. The adjustable dpi hack gives you more work space immediately expanding the usefulness of large screen.
I haven't even begun to touch on so many other things but I can definitely go on if anyone wants me to.
This is by far the most satisfied I've ever been with a phone and I've been using smart phones since when they were called PDAs. I never thought I'd be so satisfied with a non rooted android device but I don't find myself missing anything except perhaps the stereo sound hack and the Xposed framework but with all the features I'm discovering and looking forward to the gear vr Im sure I'll find enough ways not to care.
I don't use any of the features you listed, but i'd say my favorite "features" are (no particular order)
-Double tap home for camera shortcut
-Theme engine
-Split screen
-triple tap home for one handed use
Best hardware features are easily the screen and the camera. Build quality is amazing, honestly feels better in the hand than metal IMO, and IP68 is just an awesome feature to have.
Samsung has activated Display scaling in the newest Galaxy S7 firmware, it gives the user greater control over how much information is packed onto the screen.
That one isn't hidden anymore. Nice!

In the display menu if you received the last update, otherwise you have to download Nova Launcher and activate through a specific nova action (you can then uninstall Nova).
Steps to follow :
Step 1: Head on over to the Google Play Store and download Nova Launcher
Step 2: Launch Nova Launcher. There's no need to set it as a default.
Step 3: Do a long-press on the home screen and tap on Widgets.
Step 4: Look for the Activities widget and bring it to the home screen.
Step 5: Look for Settings and tap on .DisplayScalingActivity. This will create a shortcut on the home screen.
Step 6: Tap on the newly created shortcut. There you have it, the option to go either Standard or Condensed.

the last update you're talking about is the one from T-Mobile? I have T-Mobile and I got one update from Samsung and one from T-Mobile.
Nop, it's a Sammy update that began to roll out a couple days ago fixing some side touching issues, photo stuff too and a lot of other things too
S7 here..Stock..TouchWiz Launcher..T-Mobile carrier
#1 Feature: Samsung Pay. When I saw my wife use her Note 5 to pay at WalMart, my MotoX Pure suddenly became obsolete.
#2. SD Card has returned. 32GB onboard isn't sufficient for me and now with 128GB extra, I'm content.
#3, Android 6.0.1. Battery Optimizations net me 20 total hours on battery with a 4-6 hour Screen On Time. Wow!
#4 Gear VR compatibility. I have the VR and it is stunning and so next-generation.
#5 Speaker is loud. While not idea for cranking up the tunes, it's perfect for voice calls and voicemail.
#6 SideSync and SmartSwitch. These two apps fill in the features that iTunes backup and Continuity brought to iOS.
#7 TouchWiz is scaled down enough to not get in the way of using the phone. Still packed with options, but it works right out of the box.
Shiny is a live wallpaper that gives you a highlighted side border with a shifting gradient. It is especially good for amoled displays. You have control over the corner radius and border width to customize it to your own taste.
This app will be receiving many features, so stay tuned for that.

Nice work man! Before other features I just want those discontinuities on upper left and right edges removed, please work on that.
What discontinuities? If you are talking about the darkening of the top left and right edges in the preview , it is not the app but an overlay of the Android system ( The set wallpaper text is written on it). It does not look the same when it is applied.
The previous version used to clip the corners but I have fixed it... If you think there is something else please show me a screenshot, so that I can understand...?
Using it on my Asus Zenfone 5z. Works perfectly.
Can you add Notch support just like that OP 6 wallpaper?

Thanks for your work but I need to set only lock screen
I have been wanting something like this for a while now! Thank you! I hope in the future you add more effect styles, much like the edge effects on Samsung software.
I see that you plan on allowing custom images too which is appreciated.
Can't wait to see where you go with this!
Can someone mirror it to AFH please? I can't download it on the link given for unknown reason. TYSM..
Nice , is more higher Speed Factor possible?

Dear developer. I am using this app. I loved it. My request is if you can add top centre curve feature for notch screen mobile. I am using oppo f9 pro. Kindly let me know if it is possible.
Thanks i will try it
On S10+ unfortunately only lights the sides. Top and bottom missing
Borderlight live wallpaper
This is an updated version of the original Borderlight found here. It's a live wallpaper that creates a thin colorful line on the edge of the display (hence the name), the new version also allows you to display a normal background image behind the edge highlight and darken/desaturate it when the device is locked/unlocked.
There is no real way to programatically get the shape of the display in Android, so I did the next best thing and created a preset system, where users can tweak the wallpaper for their phone and then share their preset with others.
I need your help!
See this post for details
Update 2/24/2019:
New notch settings (OP6T and other teardrop notch phones should be supported now)
Pink highlight of the outside borders when changing screen shape settings (makes it easier to configure the screen shape just right - just move the sliders until there's no pink visible)
Update 2/23/2019:
Moved to Google Play
No new features (yet), but they're coming soon!
Update 11/2/2018:
Force black theme on Android 8.1+
Fix red tint on Huawei/Honor/Vivo devices (hopefully)
Fix preset codes not containing notch width
New launcher icon
Update 11/1/2018:
Background image support
Only show border when locked/unlocked
Desaturate/darken/hide background image when locked/unlocked
Black out clipped parts of the screen - the wallpaper looks good on screenshots now
Shorter, less annoying preset codes (with support for the old ones)
Correct rendering in landscape mode
Wider range of border radii - will now support Pixel 3 XL
Get Borderlight on Google Play

Settings for OnePlus 6 with very thin border

For Dark Wallpapers :
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1Pd-Dz4sRZnK1BEvI2-OCp7iL6Aaciath
My HUMBLE suggestions :
1) An option for wallpaper slideshow.
2) Custom wallpapers with the same effects ( like oem logo, geometric shapes, popular shapes etc with minimalism in mind).
3) Option to change colors (or add different gradients, custom color combinations).
4) Presets of popular Phones built in ( Can add from trusted users)
5) Option to enable just a single beam of light (which doesn't cover the whole border).
6) Toggle for; only on notification/lockscreen/charging etc
7) Different patterns\animations for cycle like pulse, fade, etc ( rather than linear motion).
8) Option to change the direction( clockwise or anticlockwise).
9) Always on display.
10) An option to store and load different Presets
These are all SUGGESTIONS and NOT requests.
You have done a Great job in making this app so lite and minimalistic. Once again THANK YOU for keeping the app ad free !! :good:
This new update was all I was waiting for, awesome job with the custom image!
Sent from my OnePlus A6003
Awesome, great, too good!!
Can there be one more setting?
Seperate border size for left/right and top/bottom, u must be aware of black border tempered glass for oneplus 6 covering the sides of screen. If this setting can be implemented then this problem of tempered glass would be solved.
Awesome! The background image I select won't stay in portrait and I can't resize it, but the border is perfect on my Pixel 3 XL! Here's my present, I made sure it was perfect:

That's weird, I did not add an option to crop the image, but it should definitely stay in portrait . Maybe you could try cropping the image to your screen resolution beforehand?
BTW: The images work like this: If the image resolution is smaller than your screen, it will just get placed in the center of the screen, kinda like a logo. And if it's larger, the full vertical center portion of the wallpaper will be used (sides will be chopped off to make the correct aspect ratio).
Does this work on Oppo F9?
Thank you,man

I'm not sure tbh, you can try and if you won't be able to adjust it to the teardrop, I'll make a new version that will allow it.

great wallpaper
Great update! Its qorking perfectly with no bugs, i have one request, if you can add a wallpaper cropper, that would make it the best live wp, great work!
Wonderful!! I agree with the other suggestions about being able to crop any picture. Next step is offering a paid version. Or at least a donate option. Your hard work deserves it.

The app is not supposed to recognize your phone, you should open the settings and disable the notch there.
Wow. This is amazing. Perfect on 3XL. How do you get it to work on lockscreen? I selected both at initial start and it only shows black screen on lock now..
Thank you for your work.
Does not work on my Jiayu S3A with MAD OS OREO 8.1.0
Amazing. Thanks for this.
Using it on my Vivo Nex full screen... Wonderful. Keep the good work going.
Looks nice but I'd like to use it with my current bg. However I can't seem to find the settings. There is only a big activate button in the app. No options to import or edit settings. Do I miss something? OP6.
