Do people regret updating to the lastest software update? - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Hello!
I simply wanted to ask you people, who have updated your S8 to the lastest software update (where the black navbar and so on is removed), do you regret updating? Have any of you tried this?: https://www.xda-developers.com/change-galaxy-s8-navigation-bar-color/amp/
- If so is it "good enough"?

No.

No, I use black_navigation_bar.apk. Once installed go to>settings>display>navigation bar>apply current theme>select black>slide tab to right and your set.
If you don't like it just go to settings>apps> uninstall it.

Exactly. No issues after installing this. In fact, I prefer this because now I always have the black Navbar, even when Swiftkey is open.

as an experiment, completely remove xposed, reboot, and try. chances are that it is xposed itself causing the issue. if its still not working, we will go further after. but with xposed still installed, thats all the help youll get from me.

I think it was Halo on Paranoid Android. Or any ROM with Halo actually.

Do you have "Unknown Sources" checked under the security settings. It should prompt you if you don't but just in case, check that.
I've got the same problem. I can't install apk's since I'm using the latest stock 4.4.3 update. I've never rooted my phone or whatsoever. I can't seem to find a solution for it

I can't think of any reason why you wouldn't be able to install apks. Even on stock and no root, I am fairly sure you are able to.
Check this out. . We discovered this in the Paranoid Android Community the other day.
If you have Echo Notifications Lockscreen installed, whether you have it activated or not, it disables installation of apks and the OK button on certain other dialogs. I went nuts trying to figure out what happened...

[GUIDE][5.0+][TESTING] Enable Instant Apps

What are Instant Apps?
Check out at Android Developers Website
How to enable them?
First make sure you meet the following requirements:​
Android Lollipop 5.0+ Device
Any Activity Launcher
Latest Play Store (Check through Play Store>Settings>Play Store Version)
Latest Play Services(Dont worry, Updates are automatically installed)
A working BRAIN!
Then follow these steps:​
Launch the activity com.google.android.finsky.instantapps.SettingsActivity
Select an account for Instant Apps
Follow the on-screen instructions
Let Google Play Services for Instant Apps download and install
Open Google Play Services(Lollipop:Through Launcher Icon, Marshmallow:Settings>Google)
Tap on Instant Apps and check if they are enabled
How can I use Instant Apps?
Search for an Instant App, say, Wish(more are given in the Android Devs Website), and see if there is written Instant. If there is, then tap on it to use it.
Why the title says "TESTING"?
They aren't available in my location. I haven't tested( and tasted) one yet.
I can't see Instant written in the card
They are probably not available in your country. Be sure to check if they work on MM+ and share the report with me.
I just enabled Instant Apps on my device. What now?
Play around with some Instant Apps and don't forget to press that Thanks :good: button.​

+1. The new camera interface is much better. Can now change from photos to videos with just one click, without going into Settings.

Sorry my mistake. You have to disable the app then it will ask for uninstall the appilication. Uninstall it and then enable the same. You'll have default camera again.

Might not be the same thing but when in the app drawer if you swipe to the right a page will open allowing you to place un used apps.

OMG! I just went over to my app drawer and no longer have the disabled drawer either...might have been removed during the last update to 5.1.8
---------- Post added at 07:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:25 PM ----------
Wait.... ignore that last post. Still there, you just have to swipe from the extreme left edge to open it. Try that first. If that doesn't work pm me on how I could make it available for you and I'll give it a go.

Isn't Android P breaking Substratum anyway? At least in betas this has been reported to be the case.
I removed my substratum theming and it works now. Thanks for sharing the link.
Wonder if we'll get a different theming engine when Android P officially lands.
