weather doesn't show in the status bar, didn't check the widget. the apps appearing in recent apps panel is very large. camera opening 1st time after boot takes about 12 sec, switching to front & back camera also takes about 6 sec. when viewing a picture in the gallery, if the screen turns off then after turning on the device freezes the gallery app. other than these, everything is fantastic in this rom. btw how can i take screenshot in this rom?
OK cheers, volume down + power button.

Glad to see that but if I didn't misremember discussions should be posted in General thread?
Thank you for creating this thread. Both roms are equally lightning fast. However Christers does have much less battery drain.
Also remember to set your battery setting to efficiency as I see much improvement in battery life while keeping device fast enough. 5 hours+ SOT is very doable.
Some tiny problems I faced: circle battery icon doesn't work, putting custom sounds in notifications folder doesn't show them up in sound settings when selecting a notification sound and finally the file manager doesn't seem to allow you to access SD card. Downloading a third party file manager works fine though.
If you notice, the Partial Screenshot feature has been implemented in the 20161115 built,
- To access Full Screenshot >> power button + vol down, OR open power menu and press Screenshot.
- To access Partial Screenshot >> open power menu and long press Screenshot, wait for the screen to dim, and do your selection window.
You need to add weather provider as cm did not have their own since marshmallow. This one works https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.cyanogenmod.yahooweatherprovider
Works fine on clock widget but not showing in status bar.

You can always ask the Mods if you want something that is not allowed .
But allowing this would allow the same for every rom ever built .

I installed the app, gave the SU permissions and played with rates and nothing changed in the way the trackball blinked.
Working fine here on CM-5.0.2. A reboot might help

This project is not supported anymore.
Please beware that this is a two part mod, you need the application and the framework files.
Introduction:
Welcome! If you ever had a note 2, you may know what this is all about. If not, I'll gladly explain.
Simplistic Framework is a modding project that aims to give the user a better experience, mainly through providing customizations to match each user's preferences.
Simplistic Framework started as a project about modding the MultiWindow Bar (MultiWindow Complete Control), which was a separate app, and got released for all the variants of note 2, the s3, and other devices.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Is this free?
Well, No. While there are some parts of the framework which are free, most of the options are only available to the donation/paid version.
The amount of work I put into this is huge, I bought the S4 more than 2 months ago, and I rewrote a lot of Samsung's implementations. This while working on the note 2 simultaneously. I hope you understand.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Features:
Note: Look at the 2nd post for a more detailed features list, as this is just a general idea of what's included
MultiWindow Complete Control [Free]
Phone and Messaging Apps Customizations
General UI Customizations
Lockscreen, PowerMenu and Hardware Buttons Customizations
Completely Rewritten Toggles which offer a lot of customizations and additions
Clock and Other Statusbar Customizations
Battery Customizations, and even the ability to download batteries made by other users.
And that's not all, there are even more options.

Regarding your other question if I'll continue supporting the Note 2, I will definitely continue to support the Note 2 if there are bugs (which I think I resolved all of them), but regarding adding new features or porting to new ROMs, it will depend on my time, given that 4.2 is just around the corner for the Note 2.

Welcome to VanirAOSP. Our mission is to deliver a clean optimized version of Android to as many devices as possible. This is not a kang rom. You will find versions of the features you love that we've rewritten and improved on plus a few we wrote ourselves. we've tried to acheive a more organized and cohesive setup to improve the user experience while correcting any performance regressions and improving functionality.
If you're the kind of person that needs options to change the font and color on every letter and expect the ROM to end up looking like kid's cereal box then GTFO. You will not find customizations that are done just because someone figured out how to do them. Everything in here has a purpose and is held to a high standard of coding.
General features:
stock mode - ability revert to stock AOSP code with the exception of a few custom features we chose to keep active
enhanced performance.. longer uptime with less slowdown
custom written CRON and init.d.
minor UI and graphics improvements
custom navbar, navring, and hardware key features
active notifications (improved active display + lockscreen notifications)
usability improvements like power reboot menu and sound
animation control
Improved Vanir keyboard
CM's profiles & quicksettings
additional quicksetting tiles
immersive desktop <- fully configurable immersive mode
low profile mode
statusbar mods
clock & battery mods
lockscreen blur and other mods
soon to come -> quick cam and flash notifications
busybox, embedded root, init.d, cron etc
many improvements and new features unique to vanir
more to come when i feel like updating the op
issues:
None

Hi guys here you have a proper review of the Nougat firmware for the S7 edge based on my personal experiences.
So I installed it yesterday night via odin thx to @laimonas777.
With my own experiences I can say it is not as nice as I had thought.. It's hard to use, it's full with small bugs and delays and sometimes it can even freeze up to 30 seconds (My experiences).
Every app has got the new GraceUI of the Galaxy Note 7 including the settings app.
One of the best Nougat features, the display scaling option has got "only" 2 different options which do not differ that much from the standard option.
Let's talk about the Notification panel. You now have 6 toggles visible at the top but you cant swipe anymore. When you pull the statusbar twice you will see 9 toggles per page. Its much harder to find one toggle you are searching for because of the 3 toggle pages. On Marshmallow all toggles were visible in one "page".
Also the colors could have been better but I think everyone has its own opinion there.
Something which is also weird is that you have a search bar on the notification panel but actually you cant type anything in there. Instead, this textfield will just open the finder app.
The camera has got newer options and a totally different but perfect UI which I really like. But the new color modes are actually not that important features and were also aviable partially in 6.0.
Lets move on to the recent apps panel, which is a big pain.. The recent items got taller just like in stock nougat but the scrolling is a very big pain. Its just as the android nougat developer preview 1 for nexus devices also there are some minor graphical glitches which I have shown in the video.
Another thing I want to mention are the notifications. And yes, they are ugly but i am sure samsung will fix that. On every notification where you can tap for an action (example whatsapp, to reply) is a grey bar, which looks horrible. You can see it in the attached ss
Performancewise it hasnt got big changes but dont forget the delays when opening some specific apps etc. The battery consumption is also a bit higher but all these will get fixed with the final build (hopefully).
But now lets talk about the positive things :silly:. The Multiwindow option has got much better than it was on all other touchwiz versions, in short, its almost the same as in stock android nougat. Another thing which is perfect is the Window apps mode where you can open apps in window mode. We all know how bad this option was in Touchwiz, maybe no one of you ever have used it but now the window mode is very good and snappy. The negative thing there is that you cant deactivate these both modes anymore. So always when you try to pull down the notification panel from the right or left top corner, it will just open the current app always in window mode which is quite annoying.
And something which is annoying like hell is that if you play a game like doodle jump where you dont need to touch the screen the screen always turns off after a while. So the auto screenoff option doesnt get disabled while playing games or (maybe) even while watching a movie.
Galaxy Labs is now removed, so now you cant get all apps on your homescreen and you cant hide the appdrawer.
Remember that this is a very early beta build, and all of these bugs are normal and wont be there in the finale build.
Here is a quick video about the update to see how it looks
What about a dark theme...it was rumoured that Android N will have a dark theme not only that light one. Also the existing themes in store (for Samsung) work properly on N or not?

Keep in mind this is the frist beta released from samsung, so some things might hopefully change by the release of the final firmware. Also, you do have scaling other than going through the developer options. Go to Display -> Font and you will get to cgoose both the Screen zoom (which is set to almost huge idk why) and of course the font size. This comes to be as tha Normal and Condensed options back from marshmallow.
Hey glad to help. nice rview my friend. . :good:
P.S What happened to the hand?
I'm using the ota build and its running lovely to be fair
Touchwiz is rubbish anyways and just install nova which makes Icons smaller

Hello, thank you for great review. Could you confirm one exciting feature of android 7 (atleast for me) that it works on this phone beta software.
As of Android 7.0 phone can read 2G/3G/LTE frequency without ROOT. Easiest way is to install app Cellmapper(mapping cell towers to map) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cellmapper.net.cellmapper&hl=en
Could you run this app and post screenshot while connected to LTE only(no wifi)? Also, maybe send debug report from settings menu to developer with screenshot.
Thank you

Strange review .... I have been using it also since yesterday, and it is faster and smoother then my MM stock ...
Agreed there is some laggs when double tapping the multi tasking bouton, but overall its snapier and more responsive.
Also I have not noticed any freeze. I find this beta very polished to be honest.
Have you done a full wipe before installing ? or OTA ?

Thank you. Does not seem to report more info than in android 6.0.1. If you see LTE band reported on Cellmapper screen you can make another screenshot, but it seems that this functionality might not be there.
It's not a review, it's a rant. I literally have no issues with it, no freezes what so ever, it's actually snappier than MM.
I think the 'review' tag should be removed from this thread or it should be locked, as it is full of false information and the corrections to that false information have been given, but the 'review' hasn't been updated. If people read this thread thinking it is accurate, they will get false information.
The comment about display options, for instance, is just the OP not knowing what to do. It's not something wrong or an option that has been removed, it's just a lack of knowledge.

Yeah, I don't get that with any app. The only thing a bit laggy is the "new window" tab animation in the browser and the notification bar. Apart from those two things, it is fine.

SUMMARY
adityak1303 said:
OK so I've flashed the latest build and here are the improvements over the previous build:
1) ROM is much smoother and more responsive. RAM management also seems better.
2) Camera works now. Although you still can't record videos using the default camera, footej camera works fine.
3) Flashlight also works. No problems there.
4) Moto gestures are added and work without any hiccups. They are under system>gestures.
5) Ambient display works as it did in Lineage 14. Display lights up when notifications arrive or when you wave your hand over the proximity sensor or when you just pick up your phone.
6) Alarms work now. Alarm wakes up the screen and works fine.
7) The battery charging LED is off by default.
8) For Root, I flashed Magisk v14. It rooted the device properly but Safety Net test failed.
Some other things I noticed:
1) When ambient display turns on, you have to double tap the screen to get to your lockscreen. It was a single tap on Lineage 14.
2) There is no menu to assign custom long-press and single tap actions to navbar buttons. Navbar tuner/editor is not available. Although you can add a few extra buttons to navbar if you enable the System UI tuner.
3) Also I couldn't find the gesture to enable double tap on status bar to sleep.
4) AOSP keyboard stays on screen if you're typing and hit the home button. It does go away by pressing back or home again.
5) Memory usage is under Developer Options.

This step enables SystemUI and adds a keycode:
rahul9999 said:
I found a key code to turn off screen - It's a 26
first of all you need to turn on system UI tuner by following below steps :-
1. Pull down the status bar
2. See the ‘Settings’ cogwheel at the right hand corner? Tap and hold on it for around 10 seconds.
3. Once you let go after 10 seconds, you’ll be taken straight to the Settings app with a prompt saying that System UI Tuner has been enabled.
Now go to settings - system - system UI tuner - navigation bar - Extra left button type / extra right button type - choose a option keycode - enter a value in left keycode / right keycode '26' - choose any icon for left icon / right icon - that's it..

Have u installed latest pixel launcher which u will found on apk miror... And install as system app.. if not then just give a try..
Edit. Sry ya this is available for all with 5 new icon default, square, rounded square, squricle and teardrop...
So my suggestion install latest pixel launcher from apk mirrror or pixel oreo dup file..
And on launcher settings u will get this feature..

I went back to another rom for now because of the charging light staying on. No app from the play store working with this rom. Had this issue on another rom and the dev wrote a script that you can flash to disable. Got to be a way to rid it until option put in rom. Sorry if I sound like it's a big deal.
