Just installed Synergy JB and have noticed that there is one finger zoom in here where you basically slide up and down on the edge of the screen and it zooms in and out. I see people with the note II have this also so it seems it may be a Touchwiz JB feature but I haven't seen a way to turn it off. It's nice but would love to find a way to toggle it. I already checked display, accessibility, and motion controls with no luck and it zooms in any app that can zoom.
If I remember correctly E actually put the GNOTE 2 camera in that ROM so what you are seeing is that actually camera... As far as I know the only way to change that would be to flash a different camera.... HOWEVER.. I do have the NOTE 2 camera on mine also and can pinch to zoom or use the volume keys so there may be different versions of that also... But anyways flash a different camera and that should do the trick

Well its not just the camera it's in the browser, wikipedia app, and others
I apologize.. I swear the post said in the camera app.... I know he pulled a few .APK's from the Note 2... All I can suggest is check the settings for the individual apps... You could also try and download a different browser and try that... That would help narrow it down if it is something "Overseeing" the ROM or something specific to certain .APK's....
anyone find a fix for this...it's happening in my browser now and it's killing me?

With all due respect, you may want to look at your screen and take note of the fact there are no scroll bars.
I understand that we are creatures of habit, and as I have been using the GUI, with Scroll Bars since the first Mac (1984) I too tend to use the edge of the screen to scroll, but the truth is, it is a Phone, not a Mac, not a PC. It has no scroll bars. Scroll slightly to the left (or to the right-so to not disenfranchise left handed phone users) or 1/4 of the way across, or 1/3rd, or 1/2 or 3/4 quarters, etc. etc. etc.
Anywhere you'd like. It's a Phone, it's a touch screen. No mouse, no ability to tap in the scroll bar and have the screen advance. No way to position your mouse over the up or down arrow, and have the screen scroll smoothly without any other movement than you holding down the mouse button.
It's a Phone. Get it?
Anyway, what is really infuriating is that Samsung put this feature on the phone, didn't tell anyone, until people started complaining about it and reporting it as a bug, and then rather than either tell people about it, or add the ability through a Setting to disable it, in a new release of the software, the morons simply took it away.
So let me ask you, if your phone came configured with the setting disabled by default, but gave you the option to enable it, try it, see if you liked it, then said, nah, and turned it off, would that have been best for you and guys like me who depend on it all day every day to be able to use my Phone with one hand?
I think the answer is obvious.
Samsung, you are laughable, amateur software developers.
Thankfully we have XDA.
Now I just need one of you on here to figure out where in the heck it is hidden so you can make me a build that includes it with whatever else is in the latest releases.
You see, Android is almost entirely "Hard Coded" so it is not something the average user can just go "teeak" , like following the step by step instructions of someone to simply "Hack" the Windows Registry to make it the way we like it.
All the more reason Samsung is so pitiful.
My biggest problem with this phone is the god awful viewing angles on darker colors. When I leave the phone on the desk and a call comes in, the whole screen looks like a huge washed out mess because the UI for answering calls is of course mostly black and dark gray. I can't get over how bad this looks so I'm looking into modding this call screen. Is this possible? I've tried a few xposed modules, forcing full screen photos, changing default contact pics but none of them do what I want. Is there a custom ROM or anything that allows at least some modding of this screen so it's not mostly black? I know there are apps that do this but they're too buggy and limited due to how Android works. I'm looking for an actual mod, or anything that's actually stable and usable for every day.
Hi,
EDIT: my bad, I think I misread your question, sorry :angel:
I should have probably worded it differently but I didn't know how To clarify, I meant the incoming call screen, the one where you slide to answer or reject calls. I want to change this to something other than mostly black/dark grey.

No worries, it's me
Have you tried a third party app dialer for example?
I never tested them but it seems some have the ability to change what you want, like this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=intelgeen.rocketdial.trail&hl=fr.

I used to have the same trouble after I've bought my N5. The washout used to irritate me a lot since I came from amoled panel before. Though after some time I just got used to it I found out that phone is not meant to be looked at from 90° angle and some other phones have even worse viewing angles so it's totally fine for me now i just accepted it as it is everything else on this phone has been absolutely astonishing
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Yeah, but it should be meant to be looked at from diagonal angles. In the scenario I mentioned, ie when you put the phone on the desk, you look at it from such angles 90% of the time you receive a call. It looks absolutely horrible and screams "cheap". Even the xperia phones with bad viewing angles don't look that bad in such conditions. Why did LG decide to be cheap and not put an A-TW polarizer in an otherwise great screen is beyond me. It's literally the worst IPS glow I've seen on any device ever. It's hard to accept when low-end LG phones don't have this nor do cheap chinese androids.
Back on topic, sorry for the rant... I did try a few different apps but although they solve the problem, they're not stable or reliable enough for every day use unfortunately It can't really be done with an app. Are there really no custom ROMs that offer any incoming call screen customizations? Does anyone at least know how I can edit the default unknown caller photo? A few xposed modules can do this but none of them function correctly.
Xposed module called gravity box let's you assign whatever photo you want for unknown caller photo. You could also use hk theme module to apply different themes to change the dialer colors.

Gravity Box is the closest thing to the solution that I've found so far but unfortunately it doesn't work very well for me When I assign a default photo for unknown caller it works fine but when I try to call someone who does have their own photo, the screen starts flashing and I can see the original photo resizing itself. Don't know if it's just my device but it looks pretty bad. Is there a file I can modify to change this unknown caller photo? Or perhaps some ROM that has such feature included. I'm open to anything really.
Hi all,
If the question isn't that clear: Is it possible to let the sidepanel light up when you get a message? sms or whatsapp or whatever? only the sidepanel. And this when the mainscreen is off. so the phone is locked.
At this moment the sidepanel doesn't do anything when something is received. I checked all the settings but nothing happens.
Thanks for all the future reply's
When the screen is off, you can rub the Side Panel like a genie lamp and it will show you any missed notifications. But AFAIK, that's about it...

I found an alternate way to accomplish this. It's not exactly what you want but it comes very close imo.
1. Go to your lock screen settings and turn off all information that can be displayed on your lock screen.
2. Turn off all lock screen effects.
3. Choose swipe to unlock.
4. . Select a pitch black wallpaper of your choice and select it as your lock screen wallpaper.
5. Profit! I set my ringer to silent when i am in a meeting at work. When you receive a text message, the orange edge notification panel lights up and goes out in 3 secs. The main display stays completely blacked out, (except for the nav buttons and notification pull down menu) thanks to your black lock screen wallpaper. This much more discrete, compared to having your entire QHD display light up in all its glory, during times when more stealth is required
I too thought this was going the feature of the phone WITHOUT rubbing the edge panel
guess we either have to wait for a rom that does that or Samsung release something for that cuz that would be so SICK!!
I saw the Korean Note Edge screen lights up when receiving text message, so is this feature for some strange reason removed for US versions? Honestly to a certain point I thought this was one of the main reason to using the edge , not waste battery by reading the text message without turn on the entire device.
any updates?
Does anyone know if this will be available soon? Maybe in the lolipop update? Would love this to come out. Thought it was already on it tbh
I almost made a new thread before coming across this thread. Are there any updates on this? I'm running Lollipop now on my Note Edge but it still doesn't appear as if they have included this feature which leaves me a bit dumbfounded since it would seem like the perfect use for this Edge screen. It kinda does it already when you rub it (which takes quite a long time to load) but it would be nice if it would just light up automatically when you get a SMS, email, Whatsapp, missed call etc.
hi,
I own the flip cover from Samsung and with this when I receive a notification or a call I get only the edge screen power on.

Damn, I already have a flip cover from a third party. I didn't like the Samsung one because the edge screen isn't covered at all (mine has a plastic cut out). Nevertheless, they should still make it possible even without the official flip cover since it can easily be a functionality built into the phone, not the cover.

Thanks, I didn't know that but after checking it, it was already ticked. I hardly ever get any SMS, mostly messages through Whatsapp and Line. What I was talking about though isn't even a preview of the messages, just icons like what you would see on the status bar before you pull it down for the notifications. The Information Stream doesn't display notifications from every app even after I select them in the settings (and even then, you'd have to rub the edge for it to appear) and the Briefing Panel also doesn't show every notification I get (I got a few Facebook messages on the Messenger app in my notifications but according to the Briefing Panel, I had no notifications). Of course, it's not a big deal and I still love my Note Edge, but this is the kind of thing that always made me stay away from Samsung in the past. A lot of potentially useful features let down by poor execution.
Go to the play store and find Augmented SmartWatch Pro and Augmented Edge. These two apps (both by the same dev) together do what you're wanting. The main screen DOES still turn on, but it's a blank grey to black gradient (kinda like the background of the quick glance from the Note 3). I'm hoping a later update gives the option to just make it completely black.

Thanks but the Augmented Edge only shows Google Music controls and the Augmented Smartwatch Pro costs $4. I don't know if I'm being a cheap bastard or not but I feel that's unreasonable considering it should've been a basic functionality. But the fact that it still lights up the main screen albeit with a dark grey/black gradient seems to indicate that it's not as easy to code something like this as I had imagined otherwise he would've just turned on the edge screen alone.

Personally I don't mind paying a little bit for a decently coded app that effectively provides a much needed feature, but I know what you mean.
Also, yes the Augmented Edge app by itself doesn't do much. And Augmented Smartwatch Pro doesn't even provide features relevant to non Wear users on its own, but the two work together and I've definitely enjoyed the benefits (I leave my edge on the desk by my bed so if a notification goes off or anything, I just have to turn my head to look. )

thanks for the tips... I enjoyed the 2 apps
I'm glad I could help. On a related note (pun intended of course) for anyone reading this who may be interested ASP and AE (the apps mentioned above) was JUST updated to support an entirely black main screen while displaying edge notifications.
I currently have the Rog phone 5s Pro, 512/18 and I love it to no end, but I just had a crazy stupid thought, what if Asus or a developer created an app to have even more control of the 64x256 pixel rear screen. Now I know it is pretty low resolution, but what if you could set it to play certain animations when opening a certain app or in a specific performance mode, or even at a specific time. I also wish there was an option to keep the rear panel on when the phone's main screen off. I also had some really weird thoughts that are probably to crazy to come true, but when you open the camera, there would be a setting to have it kinda mirror to the back of the phone so you can use the 8k lens and still have a rough idea where you are in frame, and just to name a few more is to show what song/track is playing and use the rear touch triggers to go between tracks, and use an air trigger as pause/play, and also to cast your screen to the rear (now hear me out) when you do, then you could show off to everybody how good you are at games and stuff, and another really far reach is to cast a YouTube/web video to the rear screen (like a Chromecast kinda, but built in) And yes, I know it would be EXTREMELY LOW RESOLUTION, but it would just be so nice to have these features, just for show, and that's what I think this phone should be capable of at the price point of 1500+ US dollars. Just think it would be cool.
Pls respond if u think this would be a cool idea and or if you know if this is even possible on an unrooted phone like this one, and also contrary to common belief, Verizon works just fine in every aspect I have tested except Verizon Video Calling, but comment if you want to know how I did that to, or if you know how to program an app to do some of this. I also thought it could be a mod to the armory crate and the game genie, but ik it's probably impossible without rooting it, but just a thought.
i have tested this app on the s22 ultra and it works perfectly even the aod works do not use override as it no longer is necessary, note that the s22 ultra is not officially supported so you will have to go in cutout settings and adjust the positioning and size of the ring, this is finicky but it's possible, these are all issues that were worked on before, the app has a tendency to crash when adjusting the position.
Arc Lighting adds a highly customizable ring of light around the camera cutout of your phone. You can use this light with various indicators such as audio visualization, notification lighting, critical or low battery warnings, as well as a charge indicator. The ring can also appear on your Always-On display. (to make aod work you need to make sure you have downloaded always on amoled and activated it, you also need to make sure samsung stock aod and samsung edge lighting is disabled under samsung display settings you also need to make sure that aod is enabled under arclighting with override set to off)
Features:
- Highly customizable lighting for holepunch devices. Select a variety of colors, animations, and styles.
- Always show ring with various gradient effects (add multiple colors and make them spin for a visual experience)
- An adjustable glow effect that can be turned on or off
- Notification lighting both when the display is on or off (update planned for only the lockscreen or only inapp)
- Music lighting that syncs the light to your music
- Battery indicator lighting for charging, low and critical battery states. (note it will not work until you configure the zones you want the colors to appear)
- Device overheating indicator for gamers and power users (note it will not work until you configure the zones you want the colors to appear)
- Arc Lighting can be configured to match the color of your wallpaper, the app you're currently in, or both!
This app requires certain permissions to function correctly.
Accessibility: This permission is used for the ring to appear over your lock screen, always-on display, and for accessing the color of the current app you're in. This permission is required for the app to function properly.
Draw Over Other Apps: This permission allows the ring to show on top of other apps. This permission is required for the app to function properly.
Microphone Access: This permission is used to analyze the internal device audio for the music lighting. You will not be asked for this permission unless you choose to enable the Audio Visualizer indicator for the ring.
Storage Access: This permission is used to get the color of your wallpaper. You will not be asked for this permission unless you choose to use the color of your wallpaper for the ring.
Notification access: This permission is used to change the color of the ring after notifications
Burn-in concerns: Some Android displays may suffer from mild burn-in if a single item is displayed on the screen for an extremely significant amount of time. If you are concerned about this, feel free to enable the rotation animation in ring settings. That will ensure the display is constantly changing. Alternately, you can disable the default effect to only show the ring while an indicator is being triggered. Note: Samsung Galaxy devices come with burn-in protection that moves the pixels a little each time.

Hey zzcool would I be able to get a code from ya for gs22 ultra thanks man, and sorry to hear about your friend.
Looks like a really nice app.
Has anyone experienced any kind of burn in with it? That would be a bit of a concern for me using this app.
Yes the original owner of this account unfortunately passed away due to Covid last year, I am a family member (cousin) who has taken over the account and ensuring the work he was working on is either finished and or passed back to the original owner.

the name has been removed i meant no disrespect i just wanted to honor him for the help he gave me i also thought he deserved to be mentioned on xda as he was a known member here i didn't think straight, and apologizing for doubting him, in the past when he stopped responding after i paid him i received a mysterious email claiming they have my sourcecode and that they wish to sell it to me, i made a thread about this on xda which plenty who are aware of this app probably read i didn't name him but i am sure some knew him and thats what i was trying to correct to take back anything i said saying i thought i got scammed and this is guilt that hurts right now as i didn't know, it had been months i didn't know what was happening, i didn't doubt him until suddenly someone emails me trying to sell me the code, i waited months for him and didn't think any of it.
i apologize for doubting him and i have felt bad about this ever since it happened which i told you in the original email that i sent to you, i have been scammed a lot by many i wasn't thinking straight and for that i apologize and have apologized multiple times i hope you forgive me as i didn't know, hence why i wanted to take this thread to mention it to correct my original assumption it was meant as an apology not the other way around.
i didn't mean any of this and i hope you know that he was a good friend and i enjoyed working with him he also was very compassionate it wasn't just work with him i enjoyed the time i spent knowing him i miss him
Hi, would like to request arc lighting unlock codes for my s22 ultra... Thanks !
Hello. Sad news. My condolences.
Thanx for keeping this going, though.
Still possible to get a code for
Arc Lighting?
Thanx for the replay
Could I also ask for the code to the programme?
Kind regards.
Would love to try the code please
Would it be possible for you to also send me a code for the S22?
Also, thanks for taking over the project and my condolences. I recently recovered from COVID and I can attest that I hope no one ever has to go through it.
Are you taking questions about the app or suggestions?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
well i am not sure of the future of the app currently but yes i am taking suggestions some things that i already know needs to be done or well not all of them it's just ideas i wanted originally on this app
realtime toggle needs to be removed as you have to manually turn it on or off, and the positioning system needs to be simplified, right now it's extremely finicky to adjust the position, positioning also needs to be possible despite a phone being supported, basically you have a menu you enter for positioning which makes the circle a clear color with an easy to adjust menu so rather than a menu mixed with everything else you get an isolated menu that turns off the ring and makes it a solid color, once you exit that menu the realtime toggle will be off.
some bugs
glow causes the ring to be frozen white very old bug
music light sometimes works sometimes not, some indicators makes the others turn off entirely i don't know how this works exactly i just know some make the others turn off.
crashes when adjusting position of the ring
sometimes the ring just stops working at which point you have to force restart it and redo the accessability permission
homescreen/app ring rather than just always show ring, so you can have the ring behave a specific way on the homescreen and inapp as well as everywhere so the ring can become a wallpaper addition, these features were already in my arc lighting navbar app so maybe this can be ported considering arc lighting was built off the navbar sourcecode
landscape issues this is a very known bug something that has an unknown cause as landscape works for me on my s22 ultra sometimes sometimes not
adding indicator options for each color so you can have color segments doing what you want like for example if you have one color spinning around then this one handles notifications while a color on the other side of the ring handles something else, this was an advanced idea though and not something i expect to be implemented.
turning off various app notfications right now you have to set it to transparent to turn it off.
not saying any of this will be done it's just what i wanted with the app originally
