How can I Improve Samsung S7 Android 6 Marshmallow? - Android General

Ive just bought the new galaxy S7 from a galaxy S2 I had for years and so far so god everythings fine. But I miss a few features I had in the S2 (with the Resurrection Remix ROM I downloaded and installed from here).
The thing is, I dont want to install a personalized ROM so soon and I would like to manually improve the S7 or at most, to use a different launcher. But I have difficulties finding everything I want to add and also I have a few questions before doing anything.
Those are the features I used everyday and now I miss the most:
1.- Network usage on status bar. This is the only one I found how to manually add to a ROM, though I don't know if it can be done to a samsung s7 stock ROM.

2.- Seconds at the clock on status bar.
3.- When is the next alarm going off on notifications panel
4.- Compass on notifications panel
5.- Take a screenshot with an action on notification panel (waits 5 sec and takes screenshot). I know the S7 has its own way of taking a screenshot with a hand gesture, but it isnt effective and sometimes I need like 10 tries for it to detect the gesture. The button instead is 100% effective.
6.- Changing the screen turn off time in one action.

None of this is in the s7 stock ROM. So I would like to add this features manually if possible. Is there a way to do that? also, If I add them like the network (1) I will lose all the work if the rom updates? (this one is important).

THANKS BUTTON IF I HELPED U
any screenshot?
check the first post...all are ss
this app is available on play store, and i dont like it cuz it a little bit lag
I've googled a few different queries and even checked an old thread about this app on this site but can't find an answer, so here goes.
I'm using an unmodified HTC Desire S and sometimes the app will just 'wake' my lockscreen without me doing anything. I can see this being an issue with battery life. One of the old threads did mention this problem but didn't give any insight on how to fix it, they just said "it has been fixed in later versions", and it clearly hasn't.
Thanks for reading.
edit: welp, didn't realise this wasn't in the general forums.

[Q] Best standard 5.0 Rom?

HI everybody,
Apologies for the thread which might seem like I should have just searched... but I have spent hours reading through the development forum and I am non-the-wiser.
I have just come from a nexus 5, where I absolutely love lollipop. I am after a ROM that is very similar to the native nexus lollipop experience. I don't mind the odd customisation like more options on the power menu etc, or options that are at least not enabled by default, but CM has always been over the top and too complex for me.
Which ROM should I go for? The dev forum looks like a minefield!
Thanks
There's no such thing as a best ROM. The closest you're gonna get to a Nexus-like experience is the OnePlus aosp ROM, but I wouldn't suggest actually flashing that because it causes nothing but problems. Just try the official stock CM12 builds that have just come out.

CM is the least "custom option heavy" Roms you will find I think. Most of the rest add more customizations that are often very helpful.
I'm currently running temasek unofficial cm12 latest version. It's got extra features but your choice to use them or not. I don't make use of all of them either (like the gesture anywhere thing, or the circular app bar when you touch the right/left most side of the phone) but things like center clock mod are awesome to change the look of your phone. And quick pulldown.
I'll attach screen shots to show.
It also has a sick dark theme

Gear S2 Persistent Notifications

I've created an android app which will forward persistent notifications to the Gear S2. I's a work in progress but I believe I have it stable enough to use. I mostly created this originally to get google maps turn by turn on my watch and haven't tested much past that. If you feel up to it please download the development build and let me know what you think. After installing the app make sure you launch it, tap the three bard in the top right, tap "Notification Settings" and finally set "Gear S2 Persistant Notifications" to on. Once you've done this you should start seeing them appear on your watch. If you want to hide any notifications open the app and uncheck the box, this will cause that notification to no-longer appear on your watch. Bugs will be tracked using GitHub so if you wind any issues please post them there!

Google Maps
anybody use this? i'm thinking about pulling the trigger on a gear S2 and the google maps thing would be huge for when i'm on the motorcycle.
Super useful. But it's force closing a lot on the LG v20 stock Android 7.0
An Example: Deleting a file within FX File Explorer causes your app to force close.
Been able to reproduce the issue every time.

System UI Customization Question

Hey there, I recently bought myself a new phone, a red phone because, well, duh-harro, red is my favorite color. Everything I own is either black and red or red. Computer, Jeans (yes pants), backpack, PS4, etc. You get the point. So I got a red phone running android 10. I will post the phones info below if it somehow plays a part. So like I do every time I get a new phone, I change my wallpaper, launcher, icons, etc. but... I have an issue my quick panel/quick settings/notification shade/whatever its ACTUALLY called, the buttons are this very annoying blue. Every time I go to my quick panel, I'm met with these blue (seemingly unchangeable) buttons just mocking me. My question is, Is there anyway to change the blue to a red? Hell, even no color would be better than the out of place blue.
I would hope there is a solution that doesn't include a notification panel app. Those always have a few buttons that dont work, disable on restart or just dont work well, so I end up having to use the reqular one anyway. Hopefully it doesnt require root either, I have my device's ROM and firmware images, but when I try to boot a magisk patched image, it just boots normally. I'm scared to flash the image, last time I did, it bricked (I flashed this same phone, so I bought a new one).
Device: Blackview A80 Plus (For some reason it isn't listed on XDA)
Android Version: 10/Q
User Interface: I think its the stock google one. Im not sure though, so I'll attach screenshots of the quick panel and settings menu.
