[Q]Swipe down from top to exit full screen

Yes phone, I know how to exit full screen, you've already told me 50 friggin times today.
Is there any way to permanently disable this message? It's getting REAL annoying.

Bump.
Anyone? It's driving me nuts.

Bueller?

What are you talking about exactly?

Is this appearing each time you run the same apps? Its supposed to only appear the first time you run a new app in immersive mode. Sounds like a bug or something.

It's definitely appearing more than once per app, but not every time. It seems to have a mind of its own. I'm using expanded desktop in gravitybox so my phone thinks it's in immersive mode for every app.

Yup. Having the same problem...

same problem here, on 4.4.2 update, it seems to appear only using widgetlocker

Snap - I have the same problem, also with (the otherwise excellent in every way) Gravity Box xposed framework module.
Am loath to lose all the Pie goodness etc, so am putting up with these incessant "swipe down..." nags for now, but it's a real fly in the ointment
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Same here, 4.4.2, Xposed, GravityBox, Extended Desktop mode hiding status bar only.

same problem in widget locker
anyone find a solution?

I'm getting this message with 'Display Notifications' on lock screen. Like 25 times per day. Drives me crazy every time I see it.
Anyone found a solution yet?
Nexus 5/ 4.4.2
Thanks.

Try xposed framework with gravity box

That's the issue. Stop doing that.
Or wait until they update it so that it doesn't display the message all the time. It's not an issue with the phone, it's an issue with gravitybox.

Well, it was because the phone kept thinking it was in immersive mode. But yes, ultimately it was a GravityBox issue. But it is gone now, haven't seen that message since the last time I updated GravityBox.

I am also getting constant "how-to" tutorial BS, apparently from widgetlocker. Sorry to noob out, but I am using WL w/ no root, and no xposed/xblast as far as I know (I have no idea what that is, tbh). Anyone else in that camp, or is xposed/blast what most people are dealing with?

Samsung's New Notification/Lockscreen App

Hey all.. I don't think I've seen a post about this so I thought I'd be the first to give you all a heads-up on Samsung's new lock app called Good Lock. It's a fairly new app and I'm sure they'll make improvements. It pretty much changes your lockscreen, notifications tray, and recent tabs. Let me know what you think of the app.
**Apparently some rooted users are having various problems (constant reboot and randomly uninstalls itself), so keep that in mind...
You can download this in the Galaxy App store
Here are some screenshots

Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

I downloaded this today, and so far I like it! I wasn't sure at first, but the more that I use it, the more I enjoy it.
I like the new notifications menu. Looks a lot like stock Android. Wish u could use a custom lockscreen wallpaper, but besides that, it's pretty cool! I'm surprised that Samsung created something like this.
To answer your question, I'm pretty sure that those icons are from a previous theme. I haven't found any icon customization with this app

I tried the app, but it uninstalled itself after a bit playing around with it. It looked better than the stock lock screen and notification area (although I don't like the colours) and I'd like to keep the app. Is there a way to prevent that the app is automatically uninstalled?

In Nova Launcher pulling notification bar down is not flawless if you use gesture...

Just a warning that it doesn't work with rooted devices. I made the mistake of installing it on my rooted S7 and it caused constant reboots.

I've also uninstalled in for ithe time being because it didn't work with my Samsung led case. it kept asking for location. I've never had the uninstall problem or reboot problem. you can change the lockscreen by going to Samsung settings. I really hope they polish the app a bit more.
Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

So far, I'm liking Good Lock. just a couple weird things. Looks like you no longer can customize the quicksettings tiles, and the recent apps switcher is much better, but if you use the button to bring it up and dismiss it (also using the button) then it goes to the Home App instead of the app I was in.

Are you rooted? If not, that explains why the reboot issue would never have happen for you.

Downloading now.

I tried it and uninstalled within minutes. The recent apps is horrible - separate chrome tabs are now nameless icons making it useless to find the tab you wanted, and I like having a preview of the open apps. Also, as mentioned, the MM notification draw pulldown bug in Nova is present, which drives me insane. And no lockscreen wallpaper choices, no thanks. The only reason I'd want to use it is the more stock android look, and that you can finally double tap a notification on the lockscreen to open it, which should be a thing on the current lockscreen anyway.

You select your wallpaper just as before from your phone settings/display and wallpaper.

Hi there Sir Eagle. Could you upload the apk to dropbox or any? Seems like I can't download it through the GStore. Must be a country thingy.

Good Lock App Alternative TW UI 6.0.1

This thread has already been started in the general section but this seemed like a more appropriate place for it.
Samsung released an alternative UI for Touchwiz 6.0.1 that is available on the Galaxy Store for the Galaxy S7. I, however, have been using this for some time now on the N910P.
All you have to do is download the APK and install as normal. Your device will say that it needs to reboot. Once rebooted the new UI will be in place.
For any modifications merely swipe the notification bar down twice and you will see a second settings button. From there you can modify the theme and lockscreen or uninstall.
This new UI seems to change the lockscreen, recent menu and the notification pull down. See screenshots below.
Note: To set lockscreen picture, do so from your normal settings menu.
Note: Fingerprint lock on the lockscreen has not been working but I have not tested it on the update.
Download
https://mega.nz/#F!cd1DVQwS!FBkArUVxwDSCY16XTbedng
Another Note: I did not create this, I merely downloaded, installed and then shared with you guys. I believe Samsung created it...

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing but when I tried it was taking too much time so I just went with what was easiest lol.
I just reverted to stock and updated OTA to PD1 and rooted. Once I get everything set up I will post some performance stats with and without Good Lock. Thanks for the suggestion.
Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk

i don't find it heavy on resources at all, oh yea, just make sure you set unlock effect to None. i find it a refreshed welcome change for the good, i was merely asking how to check task manager cause after my optimisation i had about 1.4gb ram in use on boot, wanted to check what was it after good lock installed.

So why the error message said that it's not compatible with my device.
And after I installed it and reboot my device I couldn't see any icons, also when I tried to go to settings the screen went black.
I think not only fingerprint lock issue, also I am using nova launcher not TouchWiz.
So If any developer could port this app it will be better.
There are some users also faced the same issues that I faced.

Use the whitelist app posted in this forum. It's on Google Play.
I have no idea what the Essential app did other than whitelist Nova.

It didn't seem to do anything for me. I turned off whitelisting from the app and Nova reverted to old behavior. Maybe it's just whitelisting and if you already had that setup it doesn't do anything else.

Can you try removing the notification bar in Settings - Look & feel and see if Nova still fills up the screen? When I remove the notification bar Nova won't fill up the screen.

Yeah, interesting indeed. I hope this will be fixed in a future update.

I already had the whitelist editor installed and Nova was selected. Even after the update, when I deselect nova on the whitelist editor, it's no longer full scene. Not sure if the whitelist editor overrides the company's update... either way I rather use the whitelist editor than wait on Essential to update their whitelist. Lol

Seeing the same thing on mine. Luckily the whitelist editor works so well it's not really an issue.

Moving status bar icons

I've a question about the interface. Unfortunately, I purchased after the bootloader unlock website was shut down, so installing a custom ROM, mod, or anything else that requires root will not be possible. I understand this may mean I'm SOL, but I want to make sure before giving up.
I've tried installing a couple different themes to no avail. I'm not sure if there's a setting I'm missing, or if this simply isn't possible, but any advice would be welcome regardless.
I'm specifically looking for two things:
Move the mobile/wifi signal icons to the right, next to the battery/clock
Remove the NFC icon without disabling NFC

That looks similar to Honor 10... Does it behave as if phone had a notch?
NFC icon can be hidden. I think I did that using SystemUI Tuner. You have to grant this app some permissions using ADB (see description on store) and then go to app - Status Bar - Auto Detect... Disable what you want. Some of the options don't work but NFC does. You might need to reboot.

Any solution yet?
