need help please

Not sure how to explain, but I hade a Note 2,3,4, now I have this Pure XL, I just rooted, and I love it, but..
-I used to do when you slide your finger from the top to down with a samsung than all those "quick settings" options are like wifi, mute, location, airplane mode etc.
So is it a way to do this with the Pure XL?
-My other big deal is with Samsung you can access to the apps , but on the screens has only few , what you put there. With the Blu all apps are on the front pages...
-The last one, how can I use 5 instead of 4 Touchwiz apps?
Thank you!

You can do this by sliding your finger up from the bottom of the screen. It's an iOS control center copy

Do you mean you want to have an app drawer and/or have the ability to put more than 4 apps at the bottom of your home screen?
If so, then you'll want to take a look at 3rd party "launchers" such as Google Now, Nova, Action Launcher 3, etc.. I personally don't use any of them, so I'm not sure if you can have more than 4 apps AND have the app drawer button together at the bottom of your screen.

Xperia keyboard for Google Pixel 3?

I've just moved from Sony to a Google Pixel 3. Does anyone know if it's possible to install the xperia keyboard on to the pixel? I use the T9 layout on my sony and I can't see that option within the Google keyboard. Within the play app store there is no compatibility with the pixel.

Just moved from the xperia xz1 compact and find the pixel keyboard far better. Just my personal opinion though

I'm struggling with the Google keyboard to be honest. The T9 layout is just so much easier to use with only 8 keys to hit instead of 26. Question and exclamation marks are hidden behind the ?123 button on the Google keyboard, whereas the with the sony T9 they have a dedicated key. It's all personal preference I guess. Would be great if someone knows how to get the xperia keyboard on to the pixel.

I don't have the google feed, just some Smart Assistant thing?

Please post a screenshot of this option in launcher setting. Thanks

I also have Google feed enabled and didn't found any option in launcher settings to change or disable it.

I would like to know how to turn this on as I also just have some smart assistant thing when I swipe across.
I've changed to Action Pixel launcher to get the Google feed enabled but I feel that none of the launchers i've tried so far are as smooth or responsive as the stock ColorOS launcher.

But are you sure that you have the stock coloros launcher? Check it.

Yes, i'm sure. But I think it may depend on the operator's branding. My phone is branded for Vodafone, perhaps Oppo does some things on their request.

Can you pleas show us the feed?

In this whole thread is just one Picture. One of a home screen with a Google searchbar.
No Google feed so far.

This is an animated gif, not a picture. If you can't see animation, try to change your browser.

Very curious to find out if installing the launcher version from devices with Google Feed will enable it on devices without Google Feed. Can someone with one of these regional/branded devices check the version number of their launcher?
On certain Huawei phones it was possible to enable the feed by ADB disabling HiBoard. Unfortunately disabling Oppo's feed with ADB does not enable the Google Feed.

The version number is visible in the screenshot in the attachment.

..i have color os version 7.2 (11_A.30) and google feed is only available as a choice (option) in smart assistant settings, simply swiping from left to right opens assistant and you have to choose ( predefined ) from settings ( icon on the top right hand side )

Having the same trouble. Clueless here. Anyone had the same issue and fixed it? Oppo A72 here on Android 10 coloros 7.1

Switched off the Google news feed but when I swipe from left to right, I still have Google but its blank.. anyway.of changing it to another app or switching it off completely?

Hi,
I found a way to "disable" the Google feed without installing another launcher.
If you hide the Google App in the Privacy Settings, when you swipe left, nothing happens. The icon at the bottom which indicates how many pages there are is still visible but honestly it doesn't bother me much.
Hopefully, Oppo will add the option to hide the Google Feed page.
Cheers

Question Notification LED

Hi everybody !
When I open the Google camera (Android 13), there is a green dot on the upper right corner of the screen.
Is it a display effect or a real LED ?

Any time an app accesses the camera that green light will appear.

This is a security feature introduced in Android 12:
Whenever an app is accessing your phone’s camera or microphone — even if only in the background — Android 12 will place an indicator in the upper-right corner of your screen to alert you.
When the indicator first appears, it shows an icon that corresponds with the exact manner of access. But that icon remains visible only for a second or so, after which point the indicator changes to a tiny green dot.
So how can you know what’s being accessed and which app is responsible? The secret is in the swipe down: Anytime you see a green dot in the corner of your screen, swipe down once from the top of the display. The dot will expand back to that full icon, and you can then tap it to see exactly what’s involved.
Tapping on any app’s name in that pop-up will take you directly to that app’s permission page, where you can reassess what types of access it does and does not allow.

It's an OLED display, so it's both.

If you want dedicated LED notification, Sony is the only or few that offers it now.

No, search for "Holey Light". Works better and open source.

Aodnotify for Pixel. 4.5 stars and works great. I bought the pro just to support the dev but probably not needed.

If you're using stock Pixel Launcher, you should have always had it. You didn't before?

Looks like the stock launcher to me.

Suddenly? Stock launcher has it there by default.

Really, I think I'm getting Alzheimer's. Sorry for the spam. This is my 5th Pixel
