Is continuous scrolling through the home screens available on the S5 (i.e., swiping the finger in one direction while on the last screen would be replaced by the first one)?
I'm coning from the S3, where this worked. On my new S5, it doesn't seem to scroll through the last screen. Is there a setting somewhere that will change this? I did disable the My Magazine "feature".
Thanks!

Hi friends
Im gonna post a link to a video of the galaxy Note and from 00:56 to 01:05
you will notice that a nice looking chick is holding the Note on the lockscreen,
and it appears that there are some apps that appear on the bottom, right about
where the dock would be if the phone was unlocked.
Does anyone know if this is actually possible on the Note and how?
Im not refering to apps that customize the lockscreen because this
doesn appear to be an app.
I personally looked into the settings but had no luck.
Im guessing it was only a pre-production thing or else I would have found it.
But then again Im no expert...
Anyone with knowledge on the matter, please share your lights
here is the link:
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xk...tablet-phone-the-galaxy-note-geekbeat-tv_tech
just found another one
I just found another video that shows the apps on the lock screen
and a couple more on the top right of the screen.
Where the heck are these options??????

I have this feeling I've seen that screen elsewhere before... I don't have my Note with me, but if you check under the stock Clock application, i think the rightmost tab has something that has shortcuts on the bottom and top right like that?

Lol.. its the dock mode on the galaxy note.. its on the galaxy s2 too.. just put it on a dock accessory and,d screen interface changes like that even on my galaxy s2... But not wen you use it normally
What a goof I am!
Thank you both.
You're both right!
This obviously happens on the dock or if you choose this screen from the standard clock app.
Thanks
That is the Clock mode. Just enter Apps/Clock =)

If you want a customisable lockscreen then it's not possible to go past Widgetlocker!

Oh well, Galaxy Note DID have a lockscreen with app shortcuts like sense 3.0 lockscreen up to version JHA. Later on, Samsung decided to take out this feature....maybe for patent reason?!?!
What a pity! It was one of the reasons for me to buy the Galaxy Note!

I would only use a lockscreen app that doesnt interfere with the home button.
I paid for Lockmenu Pro and my money went to waste because the app interfered with the home button just like a launcher and there was no option ti cancel this. Pressing the home button once while the phone was locked, and it unlocked! Called my boss at 1:00am while in my pocket!!!!
Does widgetlocker mess up the home button?
it's not the desk clock, on the desk clock in the top right hand corner there's an expand/contract button, whereas in the video that button isn't there
Hello, i have galaxy s4 with android 4.2.2.
The issue is that when i am holding the phone with one hand i cant reach the notification bar which in th top of the screen. it is due to the screen size ofcourse.
I heard that there is feature that i can swip down anywhere on the screen and the notification bat rolling down...
i search alot for this feature but unsuccesfull.
If anyone know about this feature please let me know

All the Galaxy S series and NOTE series phones has that feature built-in. (no settings you can change)
Just swipe your finger down anywhere below the center of the screen and it will work great.
It's possible that you are using a launcher which has an option to change the
default swype down to some other action and that's why its not working for you.
Give it a try, good luck!

Try nova launcher. This allows you to setup gestures such as swiping down anywhere for the notification bar. However, this feature is only available on the home screens so im afraid it won't help if you're in an application

Hi.
The swip down below the center doesnt work and i like the original launcher. There is some other way to setting it?
Other app which not change the original launcher?
Moved up from an S4 where I could scroll left and right when on the home screens even if at one end of the pages (wraparound). The S7 Edge doesn't seem to have this great feature ????
Regards
You are talking about infinite scroll.
I came across this CSC tweak.
https://forums.androidcentral.com/v...d-infinite-scroll-touch-wiz-home-screens.html
Does it work on our model? I haven't tried - I only have one launcher screen so no scrolling required. Lemme know if anyone tries it
Maybe it's just me and getting used to the larger screen - this is my first device with a screen larger than 5".
I find that when swiping away notifications, when swiping up to unlock the lockscreen, and when swiping down to expand the statusbar/quick settings, I often have to swipe multiple times because my initial swipe(s) are not quite long enough. I have found this to be true on OOS, and all custom ROMs that I've tried, so it's not ROM related - maybe hardware related, or it's just me?
Anyway, does anyone else share this struggle?
Any idea where the code/values can be found that control the distance required for a swipe gesture to be recognized? I would like to experiment with it.
Also, I wonder if it is DPI related? I run at 400 dpi (smallest width set to 432).
Definitely having the same "issue", just coming off a nexus 5 that never needed multiple swipes to get off the lockscreen or notifications
Give yourself a few weeks to see if you get used to it, that way you'll know for sure if it's just you or a hardware/software issue

Same here - Nexus 5 for 2 years, Pixel for 2 months, now the OP5.

Ditto, just switched from my Nexus 5 (which I had since 2013) to OP 5. I already got used to the swiping on this new screen, btw.

I use DPI350 and everything its looks good
Is there a global variable that controls the minimum distance needed for a swipe gesture?
After a few months I'm still having occasional issues swiping away notifications and pulling down the quick settings.
Notification pull down is 2 pulls for full quick settings in OOS.. I've set it as shortcut to double tap back button or you can use nova gestures .. I use fingerprint sensor so never swiped up from lock screen..

Hey friends
I really don't like the navbar which is reducing the screen to much, so I decided to install J Touch app from playstore.
Loaded a nice looking home button jpeg picture from the web. Give the button a one hit back function, a long press home function and a swipe up for recents.
Please see attached pictures navigating is nice and I whish I could even eliminate the navbar on the homescreen

Keeping one icon appear on the screen all the time may cause burn in I'd be worried about that

No I don't think so. There is transparency setted, the button is popping if hitted and it is shifting up on home screen. You could be as scared or even more about a status bar burn in...
and look how much time is needed:
"Test Results
The iPhone X displayed burn-ins before the Galaxy Note 8 at 17 hours. However, it took 510 hours for the images to become permanently etched on its display which also marked the end of the test.
Compared to that, the Note 8 took 62 hours to show first signs of display burn-in, which is impressive. However, it had permanent marks way before the end of the test. The Galaxy S7 Edge showed signs of burn-in sooner than the iPhone X, however, it showed permanent burn-ins much later than the Note 8 and almost at iPhone X’s 510 hour mark."

Ok so would you recommend the app over navigation gesture? The gesture is not polished at the moment I'll give the app a go

I think so, you can also activate temporary move, which is helpful is s.th. is hided by the button. So you can move the button away for two seconds. You can hide button always in landscape, it is hiding when you are keyboard typing... it is perfect for 18:9 displays.
If navbar would have a one button control too, I wouldn't use J Touch.
You can also give it an iPhone look but ok I guess everybody is hating apple .
Edit: Ah ok you mean gesture. Sorry I didn't have this option until now.... don't know what is better
Looks like a nice app. I prefer LMT Launcher though as you can set it to do almost any task and only comes on the screen when you activate it so creates a really clean look with extra functionality.
Or you could try Gesture Control from Conena.. I'm very happy with the way the gestures work

Have you been able to use lmt with stock os? If so, I'd like to know the secret for getting rid of the nav bar
Not sure. Not really a fan of stock. From other forum members, it's possible to disable it with the joneplustool app. Both that and LMT require root.
I've been using Swipe Navigation. It even has long press functionality. Loving it so far.
That looks bat **** ugly, why don't you just download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.suphi.swipenavigation&hl=en ?
In my kg g6 its eating battery like elephant ??
Xposed Edge anyone?
