Hey guys !
I was wondering if there's been a project to port the "video as lock screen" functionality on the Samsung S9 to S8 ?
I know there's a work around for that such as the gif lock screen app but it's just that the lock screen interface from the app are just too ugly for me at least.
I'll prefer the stock lock screen UI better.
Or is there any way for us to create our own live wallpaper from a video ?
Thanks !
upgrade to oreo

I am not sure which version of the update you are on but I am on software version CRC5. If you are on that version, then you need open a video, then click the 3 dots on the top of the video player and select "Set as Wallpaper". I only had this option when I updated to the CRC5. The previous Oreo version did not include this.
I am on Sprint if that helps.

I was wondering about the same thing. I've just updated my S8 to the latest version since I've just realised that there's a newer version.
But still even after the update, chosing a video in the gallery app wouldnt show me the ''set as wallpaper'' option that would otherwise be there when u click on the 3 dots button on S9.
is it possible to port this to nougat ?
I missed this function (downgrade from Oreo to Nougat for way better GoogleCam and insane battery life) wonder if any1 in the same boat.

What format has this file?
Is this a apk or a zip?
I only can download a zip file.
When i want to install it with CWM Recovery it always comes the message that the installation was aborted.
And is this the original feature from the S6 Edge or a selfmade feature?

will this work on galaxy s5 running cm12?
This is mLauncher It's built for the nexus player and may work on other androidTV products. It lists all your apps including your sideloaded ones. Only has a couple features but here they are:
Display all your apps, set wallpaper, reboot, power off.
update: 2/28/16
changed the ui a little
DECREASED APP SIZE BY SEVERAL MBS!!!!!!
fixed the built in wallpaper switcher so that it displays all pictures in /sdcard/Pictures
Things to note:
Reboot and power off require root (Why haven't you done it yet?).
For the wallpapers function to work you have to sideload a wallpapers app on your NP.
To open quick settings press play on the remote Y on the game pad.
update 8/23/15
changed ui a little
added clock
fixed settings issue
Isn't it unnecessary to have a power off function on the Nexus Player? If it's an actual shut down rather than a sleep mode, then it would require the user to unplug power from their device and plug it back in before it could be used again.
I've got mine hooked up to a light switch so when I'm about to go to sleep and too lazy to get up it works great. Next day just flip the switch. I was experimenting with deep sleep but the way the stock Rom is set up to get it to work you have to remove daydream from the system and it takes a minute. I think on cm12 it would work. I could add the feature pretty easily. I was gonna add a shortcut to overscan and fix a small issue this week. Just let me know I'll put it in there.

No I mean wallpapers period unless I'm missing something there aren't any native apps that run regular wallpapers. Haven't tried live wallpapers yet.

Here's a beta release that fixes an issue I've been having with the app list not updating when you uninstall or install an app. It's a pretty dirty hack but seems to work okay. Remember this is beta and I'll be looking at different ways to implement it. So if your uninstalling and installing apps a lot give it a shot but if not pass on this.
update removed link since it's in the updated apk

Can you upload a screenshot of how it looks on your device?
Beta release
Here's a beta release with new sleep function. It requires root access click it and screen goes into deep sleep. There's another way to do this without root but it requires you to change backdrop to none and it takes 10 seconds. Not very functional in my book. Everything else is working great. Thanks

If you have marshmallow you'll have to use adb to hide the default launcher

I remember Android had something similar. I have an honor 8 now
Trying to make yahoo weather the lock screen. Not just yahoo but anything else too. Not working even though I read a tutorial. Is it even possible to open an app from lock by swipe left, right, up or down like other Android? Not talking about finger print smart key.
I have magazine lock screen with yahoo weather set to lock screen in notifications with priority and everything else on. Still not working. Any idea?
I was under the impression that that capability was done away with in Lollipop and later for security reasons?

xposed work well on stock android, emui supports xposed too but with limited modules..about emui5, its based on nougat , so no xposed for nougat yet..
Isn't there a option to do so in the lockscreen settings?

Couldn't find. They have a magazine theme style theme for emui now where if your on lock screen you can swipe up from bottom of screen to reveal some notification tools like wifi, NFC, LTE, and play pause button but no way to show weather or change lock screen to that of an app or open an app from screen by swiping only
What I found is that running Xposed on EMUI was that it would break my dialer. I did a little research and found it to be a known issue.

Hi all.
Today I received the new android p update. But unfortunately differences are little to none.
Have you received the update yet?
Whats your experience with android p on lg g7?
Have you noticed much improvements?
I noticed notifications are little bit different, you have option to minimize those permanent notifications without being able to see them in notification bar. And you get options for fast reply messages form viber... probably some other apps. But it wasn't there before. And Gestures are here. I still use app called Gesture control for this coz I like it more like that. And ofc there is different recent apps look. Looks better. Other than that, everything is same.
I use google sms app and have had the notification and fast reply already.
Unfortunately I am disappointed that lg did not put any time to improve the ui.
What about camera? I do not see any improvements.
I noticed also magnified view when I try to select some text. And in camera there is now cine shot which lets you make some photos with some part moving like animation.
There is probably more of changes that I dont notice. I use nova luncher with custom themes so I knot nothing about UI how it looks like now and can't remember how it looked before.

Hi there,
Message to notice that Android Pie is finally rolling out for Taiwanese versions of HTC U11+.
Version received is 2.15.709.1! Will test this morning!
Nice day!

Still downloading, can't tell right now! The screenshot was on 8.0 showing notification to upgrade to 9.0!
OK! As tiny review : visual adentity as been changed in notification and quick access area (more colorful in settings menu), I've got the impression that the system is globally more responsive, dark mode has been added. Performances are the same, about 204000pts in Antutu before and after update! Let's see further to test a little bit more battery life!

Just tested right now! It deleted effectivelly all my other paired devices but I can pair them again without any issue!
Okay, I found out whats going on.
Apparently, in Pie, the previously connected devices aren't shown in the bluetooth menu but in "device connection". You have to pair new devices there and also my old devices refuse to autoconnect. But it works now.

I'm in the US using AT&T but still have the Taiwan version of the phone, will the automatic software updates still go through?
Is the U11+ any luckier than the U12+ in the gestures department?
Is the soft navbar still being forced? Any option to enable gestures?
