Hi guyz
Is is just me or does anyone else also feel that the majority of the apps take up screen estate with the lone lingering menu button at the bottom
I wanted to move away from sense launcher and thought of adopting the Go Lancher, but for this the home screen itself shows the menu bar below (ugghh!).
Thankfully apex/nova came to the rescue.
But many other appls like XDA, reddit ... show that wasting part of the screen.
So do we have to wait till developers update their apps for OneX? (i thought since galaxy nexus already is a 4.6 " screen this issue was already behind us)

It's an ICS menu button issue. There's a great post on the Verge discussing it as well. http://www.theverge.com/2012/5/6/3003345/the-menu-button-an-insight
Because the HOX didn't use a menu button on the bottom of the phone (good) it does this instead (bad)
I'd personally like to see the menu key functionality replaced by a long press of home/recent apps. That way you can just bring it up when you need it, like older Android phones.
Should see something like this once we get that BL issue resolved.

Or if developers followed the development guide the problem wouldn't exist at all since the overflow menu would be located on the top bar.
edit:
As per the Verge post linked earlier:
The menu button. It's a button, that won't, just won't, go away. Google have already attempted to kill it by introducing the action overflow in Ice Cream Sandwich. They've removed it from the default roster of buttons on the Galaxy Nexus, and with good reason. But it refuses to die.
This mainly because app developers are not reading the guidelines and saying "Let's follow these." They're keeping with the archaic menu button. Worse still, the apps are not Holo themed, and in many cases, still made for Gingerbread. Take Google Currents. While a very nice app, it still has menu button support and is made for Gingerbread. This is an app BY GOOGLE, and it still has menu button support. This needs to - must - change.

I recently installed Cyanogenmod 10 onto my S3 and it was brilliant. Everything I wanted from a rom, except the motions. I liked the Touchwiz motion controls and the screen controls (like taking a screenshot with a swipe or tapping the top of the phone to get to the top of a list). Is there an app out there or a rom similar to Cyanogenmod 10 with the added touchwiz-style functions?

I am on samsung galaxy s3 International build with cyanogenmod 10.1 Nightly version of 28th June 2013. I love the mod but these are the shortcomings I face:
1. Settings does not have the motion "menu" due to which I am not sure how to calibrate the gyroscope etc. Its all off.
2. Due to reason one My google maps navigation is misguided.
3. I am unable to send contacts via normal sms. A lot of my family members use normal phones which cannot understand vcf or don't have net so sending contacts is painstaking as I have to copy paste each detail to a text.
If anyone knows how to solve these issues do let me know. If not then atleast let me know what is a proper place to ask them ... maybe guide me to a complaint/suggestions section of cyanogenmod community of devs.
When listening to music I realised that when I lock the screen it makes an horribly sound for a sec or two and then the music continues just fine.
I think its because the lockscreen sound!
I only wanted to share this bug so developers may fix it on next build release
Please include file manager in next build :/
Disable the lockscreen sound when enjoying music.

Hello,
I'm using galaxy s3. While setting WiFi hotspot I found that though I can set a network ssid but other devices are not able to find it. Might be a bug. If it's a bug hopefully will be solved in the stable version.

Every time I want to write a message or if I write general, a window pop up which shows "Android keyboard (AOSP)" has ended ( Original Text: "Android-Tastatur (AOSP)" wurde beendet).
It´s pop up 2 or 3 times and than it´s gone (I use Swift Key). If I start Whats app again (for example), the story starts again.
Also I have no Pay Store connection...It show´s always "no connection".
By the way
thank´s for the great rom!!!

There are dozens available on the Play Store, or you can grab the backported CM File Manager from F-Droid. I've confirmed that the latter works perfectly on Omni, including root file ops.
in the newest version from 03.12 the cam recording on xperia z doesn't work :/
S3 Diceplayer problem...
I´m a user of diceplayer in my S3 and have FC when i try to open any video, it works fine on 4.2 (stock) and 4.3 (CM). tks for bringing 4.4 to S3!!!
Location reporting
I am on twrp and OmniROM Nightly build on the Galaxy S3(I9300). Until two days back when I was in the CWM the location reporting was working fine, but now for every change of location the next second reporting shows I was at my home. Not sure if it is a omnirom bug or Google bug. But wanted to post it here, just in case.

Time Zone Issue
I am on the nightly build for OmniRom on Galaxy S3 (I9300). And I am frequently losing the Network Timezone. Timezone automatically resets to GMT. This is one of the issue I face frequently. Because of this I miss couple of alarms.

Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Launcher 3 has some bugs:
In landscape i can not remove Apps or Widgets.
If "Show Search Bar" disabled the "x" to remove a app or Widget at top of the screen is gone / invisible (but drag and drop it where the "x" is normaly will color it red and removes it ).
Same happens on CM 11.
Someone knows how to fix it?
Edit:
Screenshots attached
Since a few days I use OmniRom on my Galaxy SII GT-I9100G. The ROM works great so far. I've updated it daily.
But there is a grafic bug when I reboot the phone. When the phone forces me to enter the code for my simcard the numbers on the number block are cut off in the middle.
Entering the pin works, but ist does not look good because of the bug

I also had jarring sounds when playing music and pressing pause or other media keys as well as the lockscreen (N7105).
Disabling both lockscreen and screen touch sounds fixed it for me. However, I also found that the problem only occurred when using Soundpacks - default system sounds caused me no issues with any settings.
Bug in Rom for i9100
Hello,
the rom is pretty awesome and really fast so far. I have noticed only one problem with the vvs app which i use as a ticket in my local traffic system. When opening the ticket a light background - which should be there - appears, but only for a short time. Then the text overlay is displayed, but since the light background is replaced by the colour black, one can't read any information. I please you to fix this problem. It would be totally awesome if i could use my ticket again.
Tank you,
j3mu5
Maybe this is just me or I am asking the wrong question. Up until this newest preview of Android L, my Nexus 5 has worked great with Android L. While typing a message or search, the keyboard will automatically "disappear" or "hide" so to speak. I have to re-select the input text box to que the keyboard again to resume typing. I know this may be a long shot, but is there anyone else have/had this issue?
Thanks
EDIT: Forgot to mention that I've tried the stock keyboard, SwiftKey, and Flesky. All the same results. Almost like the UI is bugging out.
EDIT 2: Just after throwing this post out there, the phone randomly rebooted. Should I do a logcat or some other systemfile dump to the heck is going on?
Until the official release of Lollipop we are keeping all discussions and Q&A to one thread here as bugs maybe fixed by then. Please post in there for now.

My S22 Ultra on AT&T updated to Android 13, UI5, and my Galaxy Watch 4 also updated. Certain features disappeared and I've tried every setting that my have gotten changed. I currently switch my Sym between 3 phones (in addition to the S22 Ultra, I have a Fold 3 and a Z Flip 5g), all locked to AT&T. The features that are important to me that seem to have disappeared are:
1. The bubbles and unread message counter on each app icon on the home screen are missing, and
2. The notification indicator on the Watch 4 does not appear.
I'm not seeing threads on this forum or Android Central describing this issue. Anyone else experiencing this and/or any ideas for resolving?

contact Samsung support please
Contacting Samsung was the first thing I tried. All I could find was the interactive "support" tab on the Samsung website. Absolutely worthless for understanding a problem let alone solving it. Do you have another way to contact Samsung support? A telephone number perhaps?
You cannot check which category of the app a notification is from anymore.
App icon badges with numbers is in the launcher settings. Long press homescreen and select settings
Well, that seemed to work. Thank you!
