What is your preference, Latest Nougat QK5 or Oreo Beta? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

What is your preference, Latest Nougat QK5 or Oreo Beta? If it's Oreo, what version do you like better? Is the QKS the latest for 8+? I'm particularly interested if anyone has issues with Android Auto W/ Dodge Uconnect.

I like oreo beta. It has some stock oreo features. Fade in album art. A kind of cool animation when you slide notifications up. Also you can snooze notifications. The samsung launcher has notification dots. QKS is the latest s8+ one and the S8 one is QL7

I do like the Oreo beta. However, the option to go to "app info" on long-press of an icon in the stock launcher app drawer has been removed.

Use a different launcher then.

Agree with this, also installing apks from multiple sources seem to be a hassle for me. Also having issues with some apps not thinking Knox is above 2.x.. I'm still rocking the beta so its minimal but hoping the first two won't be an issue w/ official.

How to get Weather Lockscreen back on Marshmallow?

Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone who upgraded to Marshmallow 6.0.1 has found a way to get the Weather Lockscreen back. I really liked using it on Lollipop and it does not show up anywhere on Marshmallow. I also have a T-Mobile Note 4 that I upgraded to OvrDriVE's 6.0.1 Marshmallow ROM and it is missing the Weather Lockscreen as well. Any ideas?

I really miss this feature too. I've been looking for a way to reactivate it or something suitable to replace it with all day but haven't found anything. I hope someone finds a solution or they bring it back with the next update.

I'm using Microsoft's Next Lockscreen app for now. It's not a final solution but it's a viable option depending on your needs. You swipe up/down just below the clock to hide/show the weather.

For me, it's more about the dynamic images than the weather info itself. I just found an app called Smart Wallpaper, which you have to load your own wallpaper images into, but it's very customizable as far as when to display the images. It's working pretty well so far. Only thing I don't like right off the bat though is that you can't just choose to display the wallpaper on the lock screen only...it has to be home only or home and lock screen.

My name is in the dock, the blue dot is battery charge, touching a dot opens app of choice, swiping a dot opens folder containing apps of choice. Live wall paper background. I keep the lettering on the dark side to avoid screen burn in or ghosting and provide a bit of privacy, making it difficult for a stranger close to me from reading my appointments etc.

Here s the screen from my doogee y6c that shows far more apps
Is there any way I can make the moto show open apps like the doogee screen?
Thanks
My understanding is the recents screen is now part of the launcher.
Try a different launcher, set as default, possibly disabling the stock launcher.
This is not a Motorola issue, it's a change in android.
Also it's recent apps, not running apps. The right name will help you find info.
It's not a part of the launcher. It's just an Android 9 Pie recent apps menu redesign.

Other sources say the functionality was moved into the launcher. So a 3rd party launcher could help after disabling the stock launcher.

It's not a functionality of the Moto launcher per se. Maybe they moved it under launchers control in general? If so that's an odd decision and the first I've heard of such a thing in Android. Also I don't see any alternative option in Nova launcher, which I'm using , and which is usually up to date with this kind of stuff.

I don't have a pie device currently. Just some stuff I saw looking for info.
http://www.xda-developers.com/android-pie-recent-apps-customization/
There's a Magisk module (QuickSwitch) that can be used for changing which launcher handles the recents functionality.

Works for chinese version, not sure about other models but you can try. All that still works. Google services, call recording, disable app through adb, etc. Only issue I discovered is music stutters if you don't switch sound effects to Kirin or another effect. How to = Just change region to china in app gallery, then apply and download beta through my Huawei app (You'll see available devices, just choose yours) then go to settings and software update. It'll now show up for download......
Updated mine yesterday and can notice (too early) an increase in battery life by 10-15%. Also I like the UI much better than Android 11. All google apps are working without any issues. I have the Chinese model.

Post this update every product from Google works fine without any issues. If you want to disable the update change the setting to disable overnight install
I'm assuming Ascending ringtone is still not able to be disabled as I have not found it. I hate the feature and wish they would put the option back to turn it off and it rings at full and not this BS as I have missed many calls due to this.

Thanks.
All my Google apps, WhatsApp and text messaging work just fine. Notification has changed - swipe down to see them.
I really think the snappy feel of my mate 20x is lost after harmony os 2.0... the top right corner of the phone is also heating up a bit.. its been around 8 hours since the update. What do you guys think? Will it improve?
Anyway to get harmony os on global mate 20x evr l29
