I have read to turn on the System UI Tuner, swipe down and then hold my finger down on the gear representing settings, the gear would then spin, and I would be able to enable the System UI Tuner menu. This does not work for me with Verizon Note 5 on Marshmallow. Has Verizon restricted us from doing this? Can someone try on a Non-Verizon Marshmallow phone (like a Nexus) and let us know?

Works on my Nexus like that, but not on the Note. Not really missing anything in my opinion.

So in other words - you feel as though the "System UI Tuner" is useless?

Doesn't really do anything for me on my Nexus 7. Pretty much a gimmick as far as I can tell. You can move around the quick setting tiles. Turn them off or on also. That's about it, and usually for me doesn't even do that.

I am Not sure if everyone has found this little feature yet, but it is pretty neat. On the menu drop down, press and hold the little gear icon (settings) until it starts spinning. Let go and now system UI tuner will be added to your menu. .
It allows for some pretty neat customizations

That is the #1 thing I am looking forward too in MM - lol
Do One Thing install Custom Quick Settings from the Play Store. You can customize the quick settings.
Damn shame Google nixed the Dark MM UI option they were working on for the System UI Tuner.
It was the only real tweak from this menu that I was looking forward to.
I really only stuck with the battery percent in the battery since, for some unknown reason, moto doesn't offer the percentage instead of the icon.. I guess I'm just spoiled from using CM. And touchwiz where you could do that

Sweet. Loving the embedded battery percentage and removing some of the status bar icons to clean it up a little. Thanks for the tip.

I am holding it down and nothing happens, if referring to the gear icon up by the battery icon on top right corner.
Yep, you are, but not working for me. Weird. I wonder since i have already activated dev options? Not same stuff though. Nope, disabled dev options and still not working.
Non rooted stock device. Strange. Does not spin.
Update: I restarted the device and now works.
Thanks for the info
Cheers

Seems you have disabled animation in developer options. Enable it and restart mobile. Then try pressing it again and you will see it enabled.
You can then go and disable animation once again. Hope that helps.
Wow! I was looking for the system ui tuner and couldnt find it. I'm happy to have found this thread. I'm not sure everybody who owns this device knowing about this hidden feature.
Also, when i tweak the quick tiles, and then select to remove the system tuner from the settings menu, it switches back to "default" quick tiles.
Is this supposed to happen? I mean, do I have to keep "system ui tuner" in the settings menu in order to have the tiles i chose?
Hope you understand everything, I don't speak well english.

I think it was the source of some problems I was having on my XPE too. My paired bluetooth devices kept unpairing. I posted about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/help/paired-bluetooth-devices-unpairing-t3298262
Long story short, I tried everything and I could think of and finally got a replacement from Moto, only to have the same thing happen with the new phone. Then I disabled System UI Tweaker and it hasn't happened since, and it has been several days.
Really irritated by the fact that my S7 switches screen mode for games and certain apps - does anyone know how to turn it off? I don't have game mode or game launcher enabled, yet it still changes for some reason. Hate anything but the basic screen mode.
I do not think you can without root access.
Wondering about this too. Was all excited to use my new phone, everything was going well until I started up some games and noticed all the colors were really saturated... Turned off Game Launcher, changed screen modes in settings, nothing works. When you go back to the home screen from the game you can see the screen tone visibly get lighter and then darker when you go back into the game.
It drives me nuts too, spent too much time in settings to figure it out, with no results... Let's hope it will be fixed soon : Samsung should let us choose the color profile during games.
So it's not just me lol
Same problem here, seriously wtf! The colors are way oversaturated and too much contrast. The game is very dark. It drives me completely nuts, why dont they simply draw the stuff on screen and be done with it? Nobody in the whole world ever needed Cinema mode or sh*#[email protected] like this!
The only way to turn this annoying so-called feature OFF is by installing package Disabler pro and check both 'game service' and 'gamepad service'. You can also disable the game launcher and tools. Hope this helps!

great find! looks like it also improved performance in some of the titles too.
however, some games still perform rather strange. Smash Hit, for example, has constantly changing frame rate. N4S No Limits seems to be running at the wrong resolution/less detailed compared to S6, etc.
probably need some optimization for SD820 but i doubt any of the older games will get any updates just for that.

That a problem with sammy 6.0.1, AB2 and tekken for me lags beyond what possible, after short amount of time. on mine Note 5 i observed the same thing in android 6.0.1, but NOT in lollipop all was perfect there...
Sammy updated Korean variant with new fixes, hopefully we get it soon enough,
Well I got rid of the adaptve saturated colors on the games I play and a big thank you! I was almost ready to exchange/return my Edge.
When I attempt to run Package Disabler Pro, it brings up a Knox terms page that it I have to agree to.. does that activate Knox? I don't want to activate it..

Go to settings > smart manager > secure
It will say if knox is installed or give you the option to install it.

Yeah but when you have auto brightness off the screen still doesn't stay on maximum brightness. The s6 and s6 edge had this same issue and I see they carried it over onto the s7 edge lol... anyone have a non-rootable fix?
I'm on my 3rd edge phone now.I had 2 regular and 1 edge+
Was going to upgrade to s7 edge but it seems that they still have brightness issue when on manual?
It's such an annoying issue with all edge models.
I really want to root once a secure way is out... will installing Knox be a problem with that on the future?

Anyone have success unlocking the System UI tuner with the new 6.0.1 update? I enabled developer options. When I bring down quick settings menu and hold down on the settings gear nothing happens.
Let me know if anyone has had success.
Thanks.
I'm using Good Lock from the Galaxy store, so it looks more like regular MM, but I also cannot get the System UI Tuner to come up by holding down on either cog. I haven't been able to find an answer yet either. Google results are just full of the regular way to do it so far.
Same here, can't enable it.
What does the system ui tuner do?
Edit: Nevermind I Googled it [emoji1]
I think this is more of a stock setting and probably why Samsung removed it.
When I had the Nexus 6P, that worked not only on the stock rom but other roms I flashed.

it's only available in AOSP. My nexus 5 had it
So I have successfully upgraded OTA to 6.0.1 and rooted.
I'd like a relatively easy way to turn hot spot on and off without having to go through at least three clicks (and that's if I put the Settings icon on the home screen; otherwise it's four).
The old tried-and-true method of editing the Settings DB with SQLite no longer works. I thought I'd just give the new System UI Tuner a try, but it would appear that Sprint/Samsung have locked this out. The two known methods to enable it (long press on the gear icon after pulling down the window shade, or going to Developer Options under settings) are not available on the Sprint S5. I can see the System UI Tuner package intact on the phone, but there's no way, as far as I can tell, to launch it.
For that matter, Sprint seems to have removed all the Settings widgets except "Flashlight," so you can't even put a setting widget on the home screen to get you close.
If anyone has figured out how to get into the UI Tuner, or restore the locked Settings widgets, please let me know.
Before anyone suggests it, yes, I am aware that there is a root app to enable/disable the hot spot on the market, and I have the APK for it. I removed it because it runs continuously, even when not using the hot spot, generating "granted root access" popups at inopportune times. Besides, I'd kinda like to see what else is in the UI Tuner to tweak.
Thanks.

No, I have to go to settings/more networks. That's another tile I would add to quick launch if I could only modify it at all....

I don't yet know if this has truly fixed the issue I've been having and I know a few others have but it's definitely improved things a lot! If you have had the issue where your notification shade lags and/or your app switcher lags please try this and report back.
Go to App Manager -> Overflow button (3 dots top right corner) -> Special Access -> Draw over other apps
Now UNCHECK everything here.
Reboot.
Any apps that require this permission will complain and you can enable it for just those apps. My phone had this enabled for basically every app in there which seemed odd. Since I did this my phone has been very smooth for over 24 hours and my battery life has been way better too.
Again no guarantees since the issue might still happen but this has helped me more than anything else I've tried.

So, just for information sharing purposes: I gave this a shot on Friday, and I can definitely tell a difference. I disabled all, and have only had 1 application (Textra) actually request the permission back. No impact to functionality so far as I can tell, as of right now.
Problem: SOLVED!
What fixed the problem for me was disabling the app using Accessibility services, which was bxActions.
Head to Settings -> Accessibilty and disable whatever app there and voila!
I think this helps here, I have to check if the lag continues
in my case, I don't have an S8 but this same problem, lets see if the shade and quick settings still get lagged out... but thanks!
