Hi,
Does anyone know it's possible/feasible to be able to alter the quick settings pulldown? I'm quite used to the way it works in CM, so ideally I'd like to be able to achieve something similar.
I appreciate the N5 is still new for dev's etc, I was just curious if this was realistic.
Thanks

It will happen with custom roms. Have you tried any of the 3rd party toggle apps in Googles play store? I don't know if they've been updated to support KitKat yet, but worth a shot taking a look. Apps like this or this?
Looks like the first link (PowerToggles) has been updated on Nov 3rd so maybe that might help you out

Yeah I figured as much, I wasn't sure if there were any mods to achieve similar floating around (albeit for other devices). Most of the apps on the store rely on a persistent notification in the primary pulldown, wheres I quite like the quick settings pull down which would require some system modification which rules out any play store apps I think.

rooted before I did anything else, just need to wait for the roms etc to catch up
Wait until Xposed Framework becomes compatible with 4.4.
Hi,
Can you guys tell me how to add shortcuts to the lockscreen? I could not find the option anywhere.
Thanks for your help.
As far as I know, the only way is to use xposed. Option not available in standard settings.

Dang. Samsung truely became Apple's ***** on this one. The phone looks the same and now works the same.
I haven't rooted yet and I wanna wait a little bit and see how the Android and Samsung Pay work first before rooting.
Do you know any way to add the flash light on the home screen?
Xposed is the way I have always added that, but I have not tried it yet on the note 5, sorry!
Hi guys here you have a proper review of the Nougat firmware for the S7 edge based on my personal experiences.
So I installed it yesterday night via odin thx to @laimonas777.
With my own experiences I can say it is not as nice as I had thought.. It's hard to use, it's full with small bugs and delays and sometimes it can even freeze up to 30 seconds (My experiences).
Every app has got the new GraceUI of the Galaxy Note 7 including the settings app.
One of the best Nougat features, the display scaling option has got "only" 2 different options which do not differ that much from the standard option.
Let's talk about the Notification panel. You now have 6 toggles visible at the top but you cant swipe anymore. When you pull the statusbar twice you will see 9 toggles per page. Its much harder to find one toggle you are searching for because of the 3 toggle pages. On Marshmallow all toggles were visible in one "page".
Also the colors could have been better but I think everyone has its own opinion there.
Something which is also weird is that you have a search bar on the notification panel but actually you cant type anything in there. Instead, this textfield will just open the finder app.
The camera has got newer options and a totally different but perfect UI which I really like. But the new color modes are actually not that important features and were also aviable partially in 6.0.
Lets move on to the recent apps panel, which is a big pain.. The recent items got taller just like in stock nougat but the scrolling is a very big pain. Its just as the android nougat developer preview 1 for nexus devices also there are some minor graphical glitches which I have shown in the video.
Another thing I want to mention are the notifications. And yes, they are ugly but i am sure samsung will fix that. On every notification where you can tap for an action (example whatsapp, to reply) is a grey bar, which looks horrible. You can see it in the attached ss
Performancewise it hasnt got big changes but dont forget the delays when opening some specific apps etc. The battery consumption is also a bit higher but all these will get fixed with the final build (hopefully).
But now lets talk about the positive things :silly:. The Multiwindow option has got much better than it was on all other touchwiz versions, in short, its almost the same as in stock android nougat. Another thing which is perfect is the Window apps mode where you can open apps in window mode. We all know how bad this option was in Touchwiz, maybe no one of you ever have used it but now the window mode is very good and snappy. The negative thing there is that you cant deactivate these both modes anymore. So always when you try to pull down the notification panel from the right or left top corner, it will just open the current app always in window mode which is quite annoying.
And something which is annoying like hell is that if you play a game like doodle jump where you dont need to touch the screen the screen always turns off after a while. So the auto screenoff option doesnt get disabled while playing games or (maybe) even while watching a movie.
Galaxy Labs is now removed, so now you cant get all apps on your homescreen and you cant hide the appdrawer.
Remember that this is a very early beta build, and all of these bugs are normal and wont be there in the finale build.
Here is a quick video about the update to see how it looks
What about a dark theme...it was rumoured that Android N will have a dark theme not only that light one. Also the existing themes in store (for Samsung) work properly on N or not?

Keep in mind this is the frist beta released from samsung, so some things might hopefully change by the release of the final firmware. Also, you do have scaling other than going through the developer options. Go to Display -> Font and you will get to cgoose both the Screen zoom (which is set to almost huge idk why) and of course the font size. This comes to be as tha Normal and Condensed options back from marshmallow.
Hey glad to help. nice rview my friend. . :good:
P.S What happened to the hand?
I'm using the ota build and its running lovely to be fair
Touchwiz is rubbish anyways and just install nova which makes Icons smaller

thanks for the corrections, in stock nougat there is an extra option for the display scaling. I didnt look in the font scale thought its just the normal font scaling
Hello, thank you for great review. Could you confirm one exciting feature of android 7 (atleast for me) that it works on this phone beta software.
As of Android 7.0 phone can read 2G/3G/LTE frequency without ROOT. Easiest way is to install app Cellmapper(mapping cell towers to map) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cellmapper.net.cellmapper&hl=en
Could you run this app and post screenshot while connected to LTE only(no wifi)? Also, maybe send debug report from settings menu to developer with screenshot.
Thank you

Strange review .... I have been using it also since yesterday, and it is faster and smoother then my MM stock ...
Agreed there is some laggs when double tapping the multi tasking bouton, but overall its snapier and more responsive.
Also I have not noticed any freeze. I find this beta very polished to be honest.
Have you done a full wipe before installing ? or OTA ?

Thank you. Does not seem to report more info than in android 6.0.1. If you see LTE band reported on Cellmapper screen you can make another screenshot, but it seems that this functionality might not be there.
It's not a review, it's a rant. I literally have no issues with it, no freezes what so ever, it's actually snappier than MM.
I think the 'review' tag should be removed from this thread or it should be locked, as it is full of false information and the corrections to that false information have been given, but the 'review' hasn't been updated. If people read this thread thinking it is accurate, they will get false information.
The comment about display options, for instance, is just the OP not knowing what to do. It's not something wrong or an option that has been removed, it's just a lack of knowledge.

Yeah, I don't get that with any app. The only thing a bit laggy is the "new window" tab animation in the browser and the notification bar. Apart from those two things, it is fine.

Hello!
I installed Android Messages app on my Mi Mix 3 but notifications doesn't show up. I have tinkered all the settings on the notification and turned it on but still it doesn't show up. No floating notifications, no badges, no sounds. But the messages does come in. No issues if i'm using the stock messaging app and other sms apps, only on the android messages and I really want to use this app over other messaging app. Anybody here got the same problem or anyone knows any turnarounds for this?
TIA

If you are not on the dev Rom install that then allow auto start, priority notifications, and no battery restrictions.
Other option is to install the app to the system but you need root.

Push the app to become a system app if rooted
Why does this need root in order to get notifications and why did none of the reviewers I watch mention the HUGE issue?
I don't get notifications from; Hangouts, Android messenger (google), Steam, Discord and they are all set to high priority when available, at least whatsapp seems to work....
Still waiting on the 72 hour hold.

Chinese ROM has always been that way as it's for the Chinese.
A lot of those apps are designed to work with Google play services which also needs to be installed as a system app for it to work more effectively

I did forget to mention I am on the Global ROM full stock, no root.
(edit)
I checked google play services, it is up to date as a system app. Enabled all notifications on it too.

Strange, usually global notifications work well especially with Google baked into global
Rooting and pushing to system app should still solve the problem unfortunately

I assumed that thread was Chinese, done same in this one so got mixed up.
Global usually works fine with notifications so it is strange. The global I flashed in December had perfect notifications, global on all my other Xiaomi phones worked fine so surprised it has issues.
In developer settings, go to bottom and turn off "MIUI 10 Optimization"
works perfect

It didn't work for me (eu rom, weekly build). On mine, if I switch to Textra then back to Messages, notifications work fine.
This issue was fixed on the recent MIUI update.

I'm on the Global ROM, not seeing any OTA update as of now.
And I'm experiencing similar problems with notifications (Google Hangouts, Telegram, etc.) on the stock Global ROM 10.0.11.0 PEEMIFH
and surely you have changed optional/other permissions for notifications, yes?
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.

If you turn them on in settings you will be able to use swipe right to open recent apps and switch between last used apps.
