I couldnt find the next options:
- Spotify Lockscreen background (album picture)
- Lockscreen Background - Live Weather - should have option for set up the downloadable number of pictures per day
- Unlocked/Not mobile carried ROM has no automatic ABC list in menu and you have only manual "edit" option
...or "user error"?
With the ABC menu, I assume you mean the app menu in the touchwizz launcher? If so, the only way I've found so far is to root your phone and then modify a CSC file. The easiest way for that is to download the CSC modifier app my wanam from Play store (after rooting) and search for "alphabet", find the appropriate setting, and set it to "TRUE", and reboot. But like I said, it involves rooting, and all the associated risks of doing so.
For the others you mention, I have no advice I'm afraid.
Thanks for the advice!
Yes, I mean app menu in the TW launcher. But its not such an important setting to modify and root my phone. Anyway, I would appreciate a future update from Samsung.
I liked the fullscreen album art on the lockscreen when I had kitkat on the S4, when it went to lollipop it stopped doing it. I don't know if it's possible to enable it again or if it's a lollipop screw up.
I'm sure if we made enough of a fuss about it, they'll put some of these features back :3 there's no logical reason I can think of to remove a simple "Sort" button.
If you aren't too bothered about TW only widgets (like the weather clock), you could always use another home launcher app. Google Launcher and Nova are both quite good. Google Launcher is nice and simple, and Nova is customisable to the extreme.
I'm currently in the process of organising my folders and home screen layout of Nova should have installed that first, as I now have loads of apps to organise u.u damn....
I have tried to download the mx player to my samsung s6. It says its installed but i cannot find it anywhere on my phone and wont let me install it again :S reeeeally confused!!!!!
You have looked in the app drawer, right? The app may not be added to your home screen by default.
And if you have a custom launcher, might it have a "hide apps" option that is hiding the icon?
is there a way of having an icon / shortcut for bixby....i have disabled the side button....but i'd like to have an icon somewhere to go in and play with it every now and then.
also this could be useful on a custom rom with bixby where the hardware just doesnt have the button on the side like on the S6 or the S7 that got the android 7 and a ported s8/note8 rom
Yes you can use a app to have a activities shortcut /widget. Nova launcher as the ability to do this built into it.
Also many apps on the Playstore do the same example: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ss.moreshortcuts. Just place shortcut on your home screen and choose your activity ie; Bixby Home .
You can also use gesture apps to do the same thing again Nova Launcher also as this built in.
Hello everyone.
I'm using a very bad Android device. It's very bad.
I just want to set one picture as lockscreen wallpaper, but I find it is impossible. On this device.
The gallery apps doesn't support 'set as lockscreen wallpaper'.
I checked the system settings. It's broken. while tapping on the 'wallpaper settings', nothing happens. It's broken, it's very broken.
Are there any other 3rd app could help me setting lockscreen wallpaper?
(Also know that there are not any other roms for this device, so don't suggest me to change a rom)
use wallpapers app by google inc
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.wallpaper&hl=en
or you can use any third party launcher like nova launcher
I want to disable the Samsung experience on my S8+ (on one ui) so I can use only a custom launcher. Sadly If i do this it removes the ability to use the recent tab. No root please!
