No more app quickmenu on TouchWiz - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Hi everyone,
I am using the latest version of TouchWiz updated through Google Play Store and I am on the latest firmware update but I don't know how to make the quick menu to show up after a long click on top of the app icon. HomeScreen easy mode is Off... i dont even have the option to delete apps from home screen while dragging the app.
What I should do? It was working before...

@TiGuy82,
In Settings/Developer options, enable "Animator duration scale". Set to 0.5X or higher.

In fact was working before and only stopped working after the update.
I was searching and finding no solution for it.

Could you be a little more specific? What new update? I've not seen one here, in the US.

Can't change user profile picture

I have a tiny, but considerable problem with my Nexus 7 (2012).
Whenever I go to settings, users, and then change profile picture it just freezes and i get
'settings has stopped'.
Is there some way to change my picture without going into settings?

System update today (March 18)

Just got a system update on my SM-G935V this morning. Build number updated to PB4. Haven't really noted any obvious changes. Is there a set of updates anywhere that anyone can link to?

Any hope of this leading to a root? I or would it need a updated bootloader?

Why do you want it blocked? Just wondering why you don't want WiFi and other fixes.

Some people like myself like to wait and see what problems these updates may create. I've read and experienced things not working as good as they did before a update was pushed. Sometimes they also block ways to root a device witch many people here would love to have.

The main /developer page hasn't been working for about a week now but the extensions work fine.
Looks like /developer/current-builds and /developer/beta-builds are working fine though

Working Screen Calling [GLOBALLY]

I was able to enable screen calling by modifying /data/data/com.google.android.dialler/dialer_phenotype_flags.xml
mine is attached working in Australia
just copy over to the location and overwrite the original file (remove "WORKING-" from the file)

ive done it on two pixel 3s in australia and it works perfectly!
i knew it was just a simple edit in a file somewhere - hope it helps more people
you can do it manually by changing anything in the file to TRUE that has "speakeasy" or "speak_easy"
make sure you force stop phone apk and go to settings and enable the option to screen call

Works for me in the UK. With regards to it working on custom ROMs it will work as it's more dialer related than ROM related
