How do you increase the "Motion Background" Effect on the S8+? I had it set so I could rotate the phone around and see the whole background but I can't find the setting any more...
For example a wallpaper of 2960x2960 resolution showing 1440x2960 on screen (showing middle part of wallpaper), tilt phone left, see the left side of the wallpaper, tilt phone right, see the right side of the wallpaper.
Any ideas?
Interesting idea, I would like to be able to have that increased notation effect.

I updated the ROM on my Wizard today, and there's a sort of white overlay that seems to be overlaid ontop of my background, making it look washed out. I remember I had this problem before but I can't remember how I fixed it.
When you are in Picture & Video, and selecting your picture for your today background, during one of the steps (or just 1 step), you have an option of selecting the 'transparency' of the picture. Just set that to adjust the degree of 'washing-out' suits you.
So recently i started to notice that in my home screen (touchwiz or other launchers) at the top of the screen there is some grey lines it is best visible if i use a black wallpaper and set the brightness to the maximum. This doesn't show anywhere except on the home screen. I tried other wallpapers, and if i look at it in the gallery or turn on ultra power saving mode there is no grey lines.(my device is galaxy s6)
Does anyone know what it is? Or how to fix it?
(i hope you guys can understand me sry for my english)
So, if you switch to your pictures and images gallery, the lines disappear?
Did you drop your device on the floor or did it incurred any damages lately?

It's a common issue. It's stupid Touchwiz/Samsung system which creates a small overlay at the top of Homescreens (any launchers) & lockscreens. In gallery etc, it's perfectly black since no overlay.
I don't think there is a fix. U can use a slightly greyish instead of full black wallpaper. It's not a big problem though
Oh i understand. Thank you for help. I was thought my phone has a problem.
Sometimes the grey lines can appear in Samsung mobiles if you use a bad launcher or a theme which is not compatible with the phone. You can try updating to a new version and see if fixes the problem, or use a light gray wallpaper as already suggested. Another couple of things to try... take a screenshot of your phone and test it on your laptop to see if the lines are still there. If not then it could be a problem with the screen itself. It's also worth restarting your phone in Safe Mode as this mode only runs with pre-installed apps. If you don't see the lines then an app could be your culprit
Has anyone noticed that on the lockscreen, it seems to use a default color profile? Once notifications are expanded or the screen is unlocked, whatever color profile you selected is applied. This is particularly more noticeable if you have your white balance set more towards the cooler side. Anyone else having this issue? Also, when night mode is on, it'll apply in certain apps and not in others. Using display p3 option.
Seeing same issue with night mode on the lock screen. Seems like an oversight from OnePlus.
After days of searching for a way to force proper full screen mode WITHOUT the thick black bar I finally found one. However, it puts all notification/status icons already on the left under the camera. I'm so close to a perfect solution but this one thing is in my way.
Ideally I'd like to move all icons right but messing with the padding might be a good plan B.
Please help. It's driving me mental.
If you are referring to any notification icon and/or the clock, there really isn't any way to move those without doing a bunch of work on a rooted device creating your own theme basically. Also what thick black bar are you talking about for fullscreen? the bars are only present if whatever is being displayed isn't a 20:9 ratio. so any 16:9 (like most 1080p) media will get the bars. but everything else should be full screen by ensuring Setting>Display>Advanced>Front camera display area is on the right setting.

That's disappointing.
I have managed to move the clock to the right with edXposed via Gravitybox. It's just notifications now. Don't suppose you'd know if it's possible to disable the icons but still have notifications for those apps show up in the notification drop-down?
And that camera display area, when enabled, is the black bar I'm talking about. It's unsightly and a waste of space. Using the mod I found, all apps but Ookla Speed Test fill the ENTIRE to screen beautifully with no essential UI elements blocked by the camera. Landscape or portrait.

Only thing I can think of for the notifications is make them all "Other" instead of important. you would have to do that per app and per notification type that each app shows. Long clicking them in the drop down gives you the option to change it there. But that also means you need to enable "important and other notifications" on lock screen if you want them to show up there.; however, I can't find a way to allow "other" notifications to display on the Ambient display. I do use the AOD notify app and that could be a nice workaround for that as that will still light up for notifications that are labeled as "other" over the Ambient display and you can then color code each app to what you want.

Thanks for the tip. I changed the media apps I use to not important and that seems to have taken care of my issue for the most part.
Its not a perfect solution but it's the best and most helpful so far. Thank you, mate.

Hey @shadowofdeth, I have bought the OP8 recently and I too wish to reduce the height of the status bar(I don't mind the punch hole using the app space since most apps have the logo only at the top left). You said you have used a mod to reduce the space. Was it the edXposed or is it something else? Thanks in advance
My app just updated with some pretty significant changes for how the app's settings are laid out.
Overall I like it, but I have some suggestions that would improve my personal experience, and hopefully some other users feel the same way.
The pane for Playback Speed is huge, and the original one was small and unobtrusive. I use this feature a lot, so this is the biggest issue for me after these updates. I like the +/- buttons, the bar for adjusting speed, and the bigger number, but it takes up half the screen and I can't see the video behind it. If the speed multiplier was placed above the slider bar it could still be pretty big and would free up 2/3 of the space it's currently taking up.
The background appears completely black on my phone. Reviewing the screenshots, there seems to be some level of translucency, but I would like to be able to adjust how translucent it is, down to 50% opacity or less. It's extremely useful to be able to still see the whole video while I'm adjusting settings.
The gradient on the left side of the settings UI goes out pretty far. To close the settings pane I usually tap the video, and with this big gradient it's hard to tell where I can tap to dismiss it.
My phone has a thick case, and some settings UI elements go really close to the edge. Some extra padding or margins on elements near the bottom would be appreciated. ("More" checkbox on Information is hard for me to hit)
The shortcut buttons go all the way to the left edge. A bit more space on the left would be nicer to interact with, and would match up better with the amount of space between the shortcut buttons.
The UI elements at the bottom are pretty close to the corners and the bottom of the screen as well. I think these would benefit from some extra space too.
Hopefully some of these can be considered, especially those first three.
[Edit: The video I'm watching doesn't seem to perfectly match my aspect ratio (I've got it set to Fit To Frame) and those last 2 points aren't as much of an issue when the entire frame is filled. There is still a big gap between the playback bar and the buttons that I find peculiar though.]
[Edit: Actually, scratch those last 2 entirely. The big gap between the playback buttons and bar is helpful to avoid accidental navigation in the video.]
