Can I change the "User's name" in Settings > About phone? - Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers

On my Pixel 3, in Settings > About phone, I get a "2" beside a generic profile picture icon. I'm not sure what that means. I can only guess it's supposed to show my name and my profile picture? Problem is, I am unable to change it. Anybody knows how to do it?

Try settings>system>advanced>multiple users. Touch your name and you should be able to change it there. You can also add a picture for your profile icon there if you want.

[Q] TouchFlo3D options

I've been trying to figure this out for a while...
I have a Touch Pro (Verizon), and the home screen has a red bar at the bottom with two application links. On mine, those links are "Phone" and "Camera." I'm trying to figure out how to change "Camera" to something I use more often, such as "Calendar."
Does anyone know where these settings are located?

Thanks
This link or similar may help.. found the program helpful while looking for some other stuff.. and it will allow you to change both hotkeys (Touch HD)..
Thanks. I've been using that tool to tweak some settings, but it doesn't seem to control this one...

[Q] Start menu "sorted"

Hey there,
Is there a way to "sort/clean" the start menu. Usually the start menu ist collumnwise shifted. Is there a way to get the menu straight like on the iphone (bad word ^_^).
I hope its understandable? Below are pictures.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
vs.
Not sure about sorting, but to change the layout you can use this:

No, not really,
I don't care about how many grids I have.
Just want to have it sorted (see images above)
use a third party app called "vito winterface" clean looking...search for it and try the trail version...m sure u will like it !
You can use another utility made by nullstring. It lets you sort by name, etc. and I think you can move the shortcuts around as well. If you feel like using custom icons, it can do that too.

[Q] Is there a way to modify the "share" menu entries?

I have a HTC Hero CMDA and the screen is pretty small... my problem is, when I go to share something, there is no way to scroll the screen to see more apps listed towards the top of the screen. Like if I want to share something using "Messaging" I can't get to it because it is off the top of the screen with no way to scroll up to it.
Is there a way to move these entries around and/or delete some etc?
Example:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Anyone? I mean there has to be a local file or something that stores these entries that can be modified/adjusted. When you install apps, they are obviously adding entries somewhere.
In short, no.

Whether or not you can scroll the list seems to depend on the individual app. For example you can't in the default Gallery, but you can in the Gallery replacement Quickpic. At least, that's what i gleaned from searching for and reading those threads.

Shortcut to specific item of "Settings" on homescreen ?

Hi,
I have a LG Optimus 3D (p920) running namless ROM (4.4.4).
I installed "SoftKeyZ Root" to change the Softkeys to Andorid "L".
(I know I can edit the SystemUI.apk in system/priv-app manually)
Now I wonder if its possible via "a shortcut on the homescreen" to do the following :
Enter settings -> Navigation Bar -> check/uncheck 2 checkboxes
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Or maybe using a script, thats tied to a shortcut ? I dont know much about that. :/
Id like to have this "quick option" because some games do not seem to like the softkeys and cut off the screen, so something is missing.
I hope I could explain well enough. =)

This works for me: Go to your account details (https://forum.xda-developers.com/account/), scroll down to "profile banner" and click "Edit profile banner" (I don't remember if there's a differently named button when you haven't set a profile banner yet). At "Upload new profile banner" click search and select via the explorer the image file you want to set as profile banner.
