Go to settings> 3 dot menu> View as Simplified list.
No big deal but I discovered it today. I'm sure someone else did but I wanted to share my finding.
I think some carriers disabled that as I do not see it on my T-Mobile S8+
unlocked UK S8 - no 3 dots in settings menu - just the magnifier
I'm confused: which screen OP had originally? I have screen 2 only and no 3 dot menu to change it.
T-Mobile S8. No three dot menu found.
On my VZW S8 I do have the ... menu with View as simplified list as its only item.
Nothing for ATT. Whats beneficial for ATT and Tmobile not having this
Thanks like it better.

Is there a way to remove the AT&T themed background from the Home (Today) screen? I've seen the European version that is Black vs. the Grayed AT&T version.
I can't seem the find the file to replace. Any thoughts?

Go to the Settings Tab, Wallpaper then pick from the images that are available.
You can also load photos as a wallpaper.

This image is from Droid Life's review of the Verizon model and it's present in my Verizon model as well but doesn't appear to be in others.
This is probably a simple answer but it's not an easy one to search for, sorry!
i believe that's the GPS and location service icon. you can turn off both the Google and VZW ones in settings, but it'll still leave the crosshair icon.
location for E911, no worries

Interesting, how come the T-Mobile version doesn't have it then? Or at least not in the reviews I've seen
Yet another thing VZW decided we did not need,
this will give you the option for EasyMode under the settings/ Personalize / Home Screen.
once on your new homescreen you can swipe left or right, left for quick contacts, and right to add quick apps.
just flash in recovery and enjoy

Amazing how Verizon can be so awesome and still STINK so bad for what they do to phones!!!
Anyone else notice that when pushing on the messaging app, that it says app not installed?

No but it did remove the icon from the dock and I had to put it back from the app drawer. It also seemed to disable the green notification on the messaging icon when a message arrives . I loaded it just to see what it was like, won't be going back on after next flash.

Hi,

Would be great!!!

Yes, it would be great if someone could replace the dead link !
Just got a new MotoG which is locked to Vodaphone network for the wife to go with my Retail all Moto G2.
My Moto G2 has about 20 default ringtones to choose from
Her Moto G only has 'Hangouts' for ringtone and 'Hangouts' for text tones, nothing else.
Is this correct/normal. If not, how do I get the default ringtones back?
Both are running 4.4.4, but hers appears to have a different 'skin' where you can swipe left in apps and get to widgets, on mine you can't.
Thanks
It's normal. It's probably a Google Play Edition variant of the Moto G.
You could unlock your bootloader, and install a custom rom which would contain more ring tones and such. Or you could use Zedge app, and download more tone.

It's not the play edition, It has the motorola assist app, moto camera app, and the moto startup screens.
I was just suprised it only had the 1 ringtone, when mine has so many (also not a play edition).

it was £90 in the closeout sales in October (reduced from £130 or £140)
Mine was £125 in Argos two weeks later (reduced from £150)
Spec's are the same except I get 5.0" same res screen, dual sims and a sd slot.

No idea then. Maybe they did it for a reason. Do you know what launcher the phone has on it?
The Vodafone branded firmware may have different ringtones and carrier bloatware and so on

They both have the google now / ask google launcher home screen I think.
Although mine has just the screens you need (2 in my case) and small dots to indicate which you are one. it auto expands to a third when you add more apps.
hers looks the same except the ins't the small dots at the bottom of the screen, but a small line/bar shich moved left right depends in which of the 5 (fixed) home screens you are on.

Then her phone has a different launcher. Which is why she can swipe to the widgets. You can install a custom launcher if you want. I personally use Nova Launcher. You can swipe to the widgets on it. And it has themes you can use.

Check your system version in about phone. It will most likely have "Vodafone" in it. You'd have to flash a retail firmware to get exactly the same experience as the other phone

Ah ha.

They look so similar!
Let's face it. Samsung is known for tossing in everything but the kitchen sink. Sometimes the features stick. Sometimes they're complete duds. List some of the features you actually use that you wouldn't find in stock Android
Something I've found very useful is the edge panel smart select. For instance if something's in a language I don't understand. Select rectangular, highlight the text I want. Hit Bixby vision and it gets translated. Or an item I want to purchase it will recognize it. It's actually quite good
The option to make volume controls control media by default. Something I wish stock Android would adopt because 90% of the time when I want to turn the volume down or up its media. So I like that I can make that the primary control

I have try this but I can't find a way to do it.... I'm stuck in the step where you "Hit Bixby vision and it gets translated"
I can't find a way to open Bixby vision... the only thing that I can do when with smart selection I have selected the text is to save the text as photo...
I thought the Bixby button was the kitchen sink?

There is no eye icon or I'm missing something... Look at the screen shot... The word "ΤΕΛΟΣ" means "Finish" and that save the text as a photo... There isn't any icon of vision eye in all this procedure!
I'm using a text from opera browser and I try the same with a text from a photo... The same thing...

Yes I have noticed the same problem... Sometimes works and sometimes doesn't....
Did u actually enable the whole bixby vision service? Where u have to install it and "allow" for permissions. Pretty sure its in camera app. Then once bixby vision is good to go u should be able to use it in smart select/other places
I think the size of your selection matters. I was trying to pull a tracking number my wife sent. The first time I selected just the number. No bixby vision option. I selected more area and the option appeared.
Something else I noticed really cool is that pin to screen option. OMG so usful.
Bixby vision isssue

I go to great lengths to make my device not have bixby ?
You really aren't missing anything at all. Install Google Assistant if you're into this sort of app. You will be way ahead of stock Samsung ???
