Not sure how to explain, but I hade a Note 2,3,4, now I have this Pure XL, I just rooted, and I love it, but..
-I used to do when you slide your finger from the top to down with a samsung than all those "quick settings" options are like wifi, mute, location, airplane mode etc.
So is it a way to do this with the Pure XL?
-My other big deal is with Samsung you can access to the apps , but on the screens has only few , what you put there. With the Blu all apps are on the front pages...
-The last one, how can I use 5 instead of 4 Touchwiz apps?
Thank you!

You can do this by sliding your finger up from the bottom of the screen. It's an iOS control center copy

Do you mean you want to have an app drawer and/or have the ability to put more than 4 apps at the bottom of your home screen?
If so, then you'll want to take a look at 3rd party "launchers" such as Google Now, Nova, Action Launcher 3, etc.. I personally don't use any of them, so I'm not sure if you can have more than 4 apps AND have the app drawer button together at the bottom of your screen.

Is there a way to disable the annoying "feature" of transparent status bar? I've been searching for days and am only finding Xposed modules recommended or status bar replacement apps but I just want to disable the transparency, nothing else. Is there a way to do in Android V6 (Marshmallow) on Samsung Touchwiz?

No
it s default on android 6.0 system UI so you have use a 3rd party tool or app to disable it.
like nova launcher > setting > looks & feel > disable transparent notification bar
there is no setting in Android System itself

Damn, so much for Android being the OS of "options". Another IOS, here we come?
Is there any other app you are aware of instead of a full-blown launcher? Something simpler?

Got it. Did that, thanks man. Is there a way to disable the "expansion" of notifications by default? After I rooted, all notifications are showing expanded. It used to take a two-finger swipe down to expand each but now they just all show up like that by default. And I'm not even able to collapse them. They start collapsing when I do two-finger swipe up but go back to their expanded mode when let go.

No.
technically when there is expanded option for a notification so user may need to do something! >> it s useful
to collapse it two-finger swipe up should work just make sure put two finger correctly!

The two finger swipe looks like it's gonna happen with the notification starting to collapse as expected but then expands back when the fingers are released. It will not stay collapsed. And they are ALL expanded by default, even a silly screenshot notification and other notifications that didn't used to be expanded before I rooted but are now.
Hi
As the title says, I sold my iPhone X and got the new Pixel 2 XL, and I love it. It is truly amazing. But how ever.. There is some features that I miss. - Sinces android is like an open world compared to Apple I do hope some of you might know how to solve my "problems"
Here they are:
1. Are you able to get rid on the Navigations bar at the bottom AND get the iPhone swipe gestue? Left for back, Right for forward and Up for homescreen, and while on homescreen up will go into the menu (where all my apps are listed)? And also while the keybord still working perfectly in every app when the Navigation bar is hidden? Is that possible? With my iPhone X I could switch between apps while draggin left of right on the bottom at my screen, and also if i swipe up and hold a bit, all my open apps where listed. Is that possible to get on Pixel 2?
2. I've heard alot about burn in. At the moment I am using an Live wallpaper default by Google. (The earth spinning around). Its black - does that have any effect on burn in, or is it only white colour I have to be careful of?
3. On my iPhone I could see my notifications on my apps. (A lille red number), my Pixel 2 doesnt show this, am I able to see that? For Facebook, messenger ect.
This is my first android, so bar with me and my stupidly questions lol
Thanks for your time

For me, it's kind of hard to understand exactly what you are talking about since I don't use my iPhone that often. But I'll play around to see if I can answer #1. But burn in I wouldn't worry about unless you get it. Then return the phone for a free replacement if it happens. I think that issue has been resolved for the most part. That you might want to visit the XL forum for and I'll link that for you below.
#3. I believe they are called "badges" on the iPhone. It is a very nice feature which we don't have on a stock system. I think there are some third party apps in the play store for that but you can search under notify apps or something like that. Maybe even Google can help out on that. I did see some references to it and there is something called Nofityer Unread Count app but I've not tried it.
Here ya go, but do a search on screen burn in before you ask. People get a little touchy around here sometimes if it's been answered dozens of times.

1. If you root your phone, there are ways to remove the navbars... and if you use a custom launcher (such as Nova Launcher), you can set gestures on the home screen. As for systemwide gestures... you would need a gesture app such as https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phoenixstudios.aiogestures&hl=en
Perhaps ask around here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/70jkag/android_launcher_with_iphone_x_like_gestures/
2. Personally never had an issue although I am using Pixel 2.
3. If you use Nova Launcher.. there is the option to show "Notification Badges" with 3 options -- Dynamic Badges (generated badge icons from your notification content), Dots (which shows a dot on the icon in the corner), and Numeric Badges (which shows the unread count of notifications for the app on the icon -- requires TeslaUnread addition)
Quoting a post I found on another forum:
If you display static content on it for an extended period of time like on a store unit or on-screen buttons, then it will burn-in. Not quite as quickly as some have stated, and certainly not as quickly now compared to older OLED panels, but it's still an issue. For instance, the Galaxy S6 edge store units I've seen have suffered from pretty bad burn-in after a year of service, as they're powered on for almost the entire day at maximum brightness without the screen going to sleep. That's an extremely high-wear situation and a phone won't go through that sort of usage pattern (screen on 24/7 at max brightness) in the hands of consumers, maybe even for its lifetime.
Which brings me to this. Consumer units will suffer much less drastically compared to store units. They'll last for years with normal usage, though exceptions such as some Nexus devices with OLED panels exist. In most cases, however, you should be fine. I still have a 4 year old Galaxy S3 with the original display and it hasn't burned-in yet. Very impressive.

Personally I've had a Samsung Galaxy S (the original one), S4, S5, S6, S7 Edge in the past, and none of these devices suffered from screen "burn in". My Pixel 2 is supposed to arrive tomorrow and I'm not gonna worry about the screen burn in issue. I think people are being way too paranoid about this.
We might want to wait for the OP to respond. Could be some trolling going on here.

The xl communities has found immersion mode hacks so he is best to ask there to see those ways of removing the navbar. It's not really discussed in this forum.

Best you can do with stock firmware is dots rather than numbers. Try Settings | Apps & Notifications | Notifications | Allow notification dots

You mean the best you can do with stock apps, not firmware. Third party launchers such as Nova can give you numbers without any need to root.
The notification badges on iOS are just a bandaid solution to their compete lack of notifications in the status bar. On Android, no matter which app you have open, you can always see if you have a notification waiting for you without swiping down from the status bar or going to the home screen to scan for badges.
My best advice to the OP is to avoid making your Pixel look and act like an iPhone. You're only holding yourself back from all the awesomeness that Android has to offer.

Except the Pixel 2 suffers burn in on the navigation bar as well... try a grey background or white or dark blue, you'll see it. I have 2 Pixel 2's and a 2XL in the family and they all suffer burn in of differing degrees

Not seeing that on the Pixel 2 with a white background. Is it severe enough to be annoying or distracting to you?

Same here, no trace of burn-in on mine so far (tested with several different colours of background).
It seems that google pixel 3 xl have a developer option for it, i wonder if we can see this kind of option in the future for all phones, it would be great, in fact it would fix the notification issues that its currently the mi8 and the poco f1 have because of the notch.
https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/10/10/can-turn-off-pixel-3-xl-notch-developer-options/
Notifications are already being looked at.
Yes, I m also thinking that, poco have very wide notch, even with notification icons beside notch is clumsy..
It would be nice if we can completely disable notch area and show notification under notch.
You can actually already disable the notch on Poco F1 by going to Settings - Full Screen Display - Hide Notch.

the notch implementation by xiaomi its just not good enough, the notification its not working well, and to be honest i rather have the whole extra mm screen disable completely and have that bezel but i can have back all notifications and normal status bar

You should post this on miui forum or tweet to jai mani. Its actually a nice idea. Plus our notch is not giant like pixel 3xl, so it won't be a problem if we disable that part completely!
Ok so i came up with nice idea for fixing that weird hide notch settings, those upper corners looks weird and mismatch with lower corners, but with cornerfly it looks great

36 is the most symmetrical right now but not as perfect as 115 on Rounded corner app..
ultimate notch solution —— just return to traditional display disign. hope developers can port this feature to Oreo since Pie don't support Xposed.

Hi guys, and thank you for all of the informative posts in this forum. I recently traded my 4a for a Flip 3, and find myself really missing so many elements of the pure Android 11 experience. Any advice on how to get a little functionality back?
- Multitasking pane behavior: the window switcher button automatically flips to the previous app instead of just bringing up the app tray. Additionally, my beloved Screenshot and Select tray buttons are gone - I just started getting used to using the picture copy functionality.
- Dialer: I installed the Google Phone app and have it set as my default calling app, but incoming calls still don't have the Decline / Screen / Accept red/blue/green buttons.
- Settings shade menu: I'd like the brightness control to appear at the very top of the pulldown. Really, I just want stock Android everywhere.
- App tray: flick up to get to your apps, but then have to flick sideways to page through them? Ridiculous.
Any advice would be appreciated. I hate the idea of bloating my phone with a ton of apps to customize the experience, but it seems like there's no way to run a stock Android launcher in place of OneUI.
You could try Good Lock on Galaxy store.

Only works on Pixel phones: exclusive feature.
Don't want to come across as a jack ass but sounds like you need to switch back to pixel phones. Or like one other person said try good luck from Samsung store.

Give some of the Samsung features a try. You are talking the difference of a single click to return to the previous app and there are only about 10 ways to take a screenshot, ranging from gestures to keys.

There are 1000 custom apps for this stuff, but you only need one of each. Once you find ones you are satisfied with, it's not incredibly hard to hide the stock ones away and forget they exist

If you want a truly stock experience, unlock the bootloader and build a generic version. Samsung hands you all the tools and instructions.
As for advice, I suggest actually trying the phone before trying to make it a Pixel. It isn't. It never will be. If you prefer Pixel, stick with Pixel.
