Hi all. Sorry if it seems like a silly question, but on a Samsung Galaxy S7 stock rom,
which apps have their screens slide to the left? Like when they close or change screen. I've only seen screens that slide or close to the right, or pinch out (e.g. Gallery photos, when you hit back, pinch away from full screen to thumbnail).
I've seen a screen disappear by sliding left, twice, and cannot for the life of me figure out what that was. An app hider? A parallel environmnt? Hit me with any possibilities you can think of.

I've recently started using the stock launcher again, due to a problem of my default home not sticking for some reason. The only thing I really miss is gesture support (zeam, adw), which allowed me to quickly access notifications and previews (to jump to different screens quickly without scrolling). I've mediated my desire to access my notifications quickly, by hitting menu while on a homescreen and tapping notifications (I find this faster and more convenient than pulling it down from the status bar), but I haven't found a way to quickly access previews (other than hitting home when on the default screen). I don't have much use for previews from the default screen since I'm not far away from any other screen. I'm looking for a quick way to access previews so that I can pull them up and jump from screen 1 to screen 7, for example. Long time Sense users, is there a way to do this?
Pinch from any screen.
Yeah you just pinch zoom outwards on any screen to see previews.
I've been really happy with the S6 and was able to customize most things that were bothering me, except this :
In the app drawer, is there a way to change the way the navigation between pages work and make it like it was on the S5?
On the S5, you could go to a specific page in one click on the bottom "bar", and you could hold you finger on it and slide to scroll quickly through pages.
On the S6, none of those work, clicking a specific page in that bottom bar just goes to the next (or previous) page.
Now that Xposed works, is there something that can fix this?
Thanks!
Oh well.. I guess not.
I thought more people would be annoyed by this change.
Hello,
I recently started having a problem when trying to swipw from one screen to the next on my Galaxy Note 4. Instead of going to the next screen, the bottom corner of the page "flips up" like the page of a book. "Favorites" and "Recent" apps are displayed under the area of the flipped up page. A little balloon also pops up on the top right corner of the screen. I tried disabling multi-window bit this has not solved the problem. I do not know what this function is called and it is annoying. How can I disable it? Thank you!
I made a mistake and thought it was battery doctor but I found out that it is the app clean master instead.
IDK but I hate this too. I also hate the changes in voicemail, although that may be a T-Mob issue.

Has there ever been a tweak or mod where you can have your notification window come from the bottom instead of top? Seems it would be a great feature with the additional screen size.

Nova launcher can do that with gestures. Or there's a setting in the phone to swipe down on the fingerprint sensor to pull the notification panel down or back up.
What I was meaning is kinda like the control center on the iphone when you swipe up from the bottom of the screen. Just totally move the notification screen to the bottom of the screen once you swipe up.
The furthest you're going to reach your finger is to swipe down from the top for the notification window so why not put it at the bottom being that it's something being used a lot through out the day.
I will say samsung has done a lot for reachability just that one little thing I think would make a huge deal.

Sorry, looks like that feature hasn't been around since ICS.
I'm curious if it's even possible with a custom rom. I always questioned this too. When I had the iPhone 4, I hated switching to iOS 6, but the swipe up from the bottom to access your quick settings was a stroke of genius and got me to actually enjoy it even more after jailbreaking it because you could tweak the odd cosmetics.
iPhone was able to do it through a software update. Why can't Android? What's the limitation and what makes it so limited that no one has been able to accomplish this? Genuine question and interest.
Galaxy S8+ is a phenomenal phone that I think will take quite a bit to outdo it, but the biggest problem with having massive screens is reaching those quick settings. Even with the edge bar, it's still not the same. And the swipe gesture with the fingerprint scanner is neat but that doesn't get you the quick settings a person needs with one hand as well as accessing the notifications.
It would very nice to have that reversed. I have big hands and it's still a pain to always have to use the phone with two hands for those quick things people like to do. Like adjusting brightness, muting, flashlight, Bluetooth etc.
Maybe one day they'll realize people still hold their phones with one hand every now and again and try to tailor that there notification panel accordingly :silly:

It is possible!
It can be done even with an app.
but it can be confusing because of Navigation Buttons at the bottom.
and in this way using this on custom rom can be better >> set nav bars little bit higher and then notification bar below that.......
I think after this idea you will see lots of mods and apps
If I decide to do it I will inform you
I always wanted that swipe down for quick access to controls in ios on Android. Why haven't they implemented that yet? Took them many years to have a "night mode" on Android.

Have never really understood the ergonomics of it. Bottom Status Bar should at least be an Xposed Module!
Hello. I have come from the Samsung One UI to the new Pixel 7 Pro, on the Samsung One UI the settings gear used to be one of the first you saw when you drew down the notification bar, is it possible to have the same on the Pixel 7 pro, cause as now I have to pull down twice to see it and that is pretty annoying.
Following
not that my suggestion is a solution or anything, as I wish it was easier to get to the Settings as well...
but in case it wasn't known, if you pull the notification down with 2 fingers, it brings it all the way down, so you don't have to pull down twice....
clearly very difficult to do this one-handed, so obviously not really a solution...but more of a workaround until OP or someone finds a satisfactory solution...
just wanted to mention this little bit for general knowledge spreading...
Can't move it, but other than the above mentioned workaround, you can do other things like put a Settings icon on your home screen, or using a custom launcher like Nova, designate a gesture to open Settings such as two finger rotation clockwise.
Matter of fact, I might designate that right now.

At first I didn't like it either but think of it this way... you have one hand available, you swipe down twice with your thumb, and with one hand you can now reach the settings button. If it was at the top you probably would not be able to reach it with one hand unless you have Pro basketball size hands with llllooooooonnnnnnnggggggggg fingers!
I 'walk" the shade down using my index and middle fingers.
Because I use Nova, the default gesture to open app drawer is two-finger swipe down, and I use that often, so my personal workaround is to 'walk' the shade down with 2 separate fingers in 2 separate swipes, but it's quick. Otherwise, two-finger pull down from the top edge does indeed pull the shade all the way down.
I like Rode Warrior's idea of a two-finger clockwise gesture in Nova though, I'll give that a spin (pun intended?)

It's super quick to get into Settings this way, that's for sure.

I like it!
pull down from the top, right bottom corner is the settings icon.
or put your home screen on 5 rows and put it in there.
