[Q] Landscape Dialer?

Anyone know of a way to get the Dialer/Contacts App to go into landscape mode. I use my Nexus S 4G in my car dock in ladscape mode frequently, and it's a PITA to dial sideways while driving.

Go to your contacts, then press menu, settings. Go to the bottom and you should see Enable sensor rotation in the misc section.

Thanks, but there is no "Settings" menu within the Contacts app on the Nexus S 4G. Maybe on the Nexus S though.

You need to press the menu button on your Nexus S first. Also valid in the dialer screen.
Sorry it's not settings however, but preferences.

Nope, it's not there. Looks like they left some code out of the 4G model.
system setting --> display --> auto-rotate
for your own and other driver/people's safety , please do not use phone while you are driving

Thanks, but Auto-rotate has already been enabled in display settings, and it does not work in the dialer and contact apps. I've tried every ROM for the NS4G (except for CM7) and there seems to be no way to get the dialer into Landscape.
well... unfortunately there is nothing i can do about it ... wish you luck to find what you looking for
C.m. will do it on the dialer press menu

flashlight notification toggle?

Would it be possible to implement a flashlight notification toggle like in cm 10.1 and long press home button activiation in lock screen??
I have a lockscreen widget and a normal widget right now but that's not nearly as fast as the methods described above.
Not to mention the no look possibility with the home button one.
I'm using a rooted Stock Rom MDM with an i9505
thanks in advance
im going to bump this out of interest because im going through holy hell trying to find a method to have an easy to use DISCREET flashlight toggle

There's a hidden settings page on every S4 that allows you to turn it on with volume up, when the screens off.

No Notification Displayed on the Apps Icon

Hi guys,
I found that there's no notification count on SMS, Whatsapp, etc on the icon. In the past with other phone, I always have it. I'm wondering if this is a configuration issue?
And the other thing is can I swap back and menu item? As well as change menu item to long press and show recent items to short press?
Thanks.

I can only say you can change the buttons in settings. (swap back and recent apps) You can also add Menu button. Try to play it, you might be able to set it the way you want. With notification count on icon am not sure as I use different launcher.
All this apply to CM rom, if you have stock rom everything you mentioned worked for me fine.

Thanks for the reply.
I couldn't find the button swap setting in settings page, did I miss something here?
I am still using original RON and neither original launcher nor Nova launcher showing notification count on the apps icon.
Thanks.

Try factory reset and test again. Maybe I was running custom launcher and now can not remember right IF I could see the notifications on icon on default or custom launcher. I am now on CM so can not test it.
Somebody else have to tell ya

Thanks mate, no worries. I will see how and update here if I managed to resolve it.
Does CM audio working in the latest build?
For the notification count in the icons you need a launcher that supports it. For example Nova launcher, but then you will also need another app as Missed It! or TeslaUnread.
With the stock ROM you cannot swap the back and menu button, but well, this device is so big, if you're a righty the back button is more useful in the right.
However I would love the ability to reconfigure the menu button and swap it with the recents menu item...

Thank you. Yeah I purchased Nova prime in the end and use TeslaUnread. As for the soft button configuration, I will wait for custom ROM. Cheers. ?

Rom with on-screen nav

My S6 buttons stopped working, except for the home button. Is there a rom that has on-screen navigation buttons? I have tried apps from the Play Store but they are all overlays.
Any rom? AOSP or even Touchwiz, doesn't matter. I just need the on-screen buttons.
Thanks.
Add "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" to the build.prop file ("/system/build.prop") and then reboot.
This worked. Thanks a lot!
Is there any way to make it a little smaller though?
edit: I changed the dpi in developer options and that helped a lot.
Is there a way to change the colour? S8NavCC app doesn't work with the S6.

There's also an alternative way. I use the following app to place my own shortcut as a tile in the quick settings pull down menu. From there, I linked my launcher (Nova in my case):

When I pull down the quick settings and tap the button, I get sent to the home screen.

must have apps for unrooted ?

Hey all, since we don't have root or custom ROM's yet, what are some of the must have apps to add additional functionality you find missing from your favourite roms? Things like additional tiles for the notification tray, etc. I'm looking for whatever you can't live without!
@mikeandjaimie
Immersive mode is cool,especially for video/games:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/razer-phone/how-to/tip-immersive-mode-root-required-t3714812
An Ad blocker is #1 on my list,whether rooted or not.
For unrooted,I go with Block-This:
https://block-this.com/
Real easy to use:
1) Choose whether to have auto-start on boot
2) Whitelist on a per-app basis

You don't need an application for this. You can simple just unlock system UI Tuner
Bring down notifications. Long press the settings icon. You will now have access to system UI tuner
Thanks .now I done it . Every day you learn something new

Holding on the settings icon does nothing for me. As soon as I let go it just loads the normal settings menu.

Are you sure you're bringing down the notification center from the status bar?
Bring that down and hold onto the top right settings icon. You have to hold down for 5 seconds

Yes, that's what I do. The phone vibrates but nothing happens.
I'm on UK 3 branded, so maybe it's been disabled in some way.

Didn't open anything but "settings" for me but then when I scroll down the menu ,it is above "about phone" and below "developer options"
Also I noticed my settings icon also has a wrench on it. I held it again and turned it off just to test, then I was able to turn it back on and even got a toast pop-up saying congrats it's enabled...

Nope. It works for me im using the three branded. When it vibrated there should be a toast notification saying its active. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the settings and there should be an option called system ui
