App scaling: system apps - LG G6 Questions and Answers

Since I have activated immersive mode (nav bar hides itself automatically) some of the apps just don't fill up the screen. I've tried to scale them with the built-in app scaling feature but some of the system apps (PlayStore, Chrome etc.) aren't shown in the list. Do you guys know a way to scale these apps? Thanks.

You can do this in the service menu, ie set so all apps are 18:9.

BTW, do you get severe battery drain when you activate immersive mode?
I get about 10% per hour of drain

Can you please explain a bit more? Where do I find the service menu and what exactly do I have to do?
And I haven't noticed any severe battery drain. I use the app all "all in one gestures" to activate immersive mode. I know some people use another method to activate it and they're having battery issue but I'm not. This app is really stable and it doesn't even need root to do all the tricks.

For H870 enter the code *#546368#*870# in the dialer to get to service menu, then SVC menu / Force long display mode, and enable it.
I'll try that app instead, thanks.

Hmm, keyboard doesn't work in immersive mode when activated by All in one gestures.
How did you solve that?

I've never used the built-in keyboard so I didn't know about that. I've always used Gboard and it works for me just fine. It's really weird that you're having an issue with the keyboard since even the developer had state that it shouldn't be any issue

I gave some more permissions in ADB for it to work.

So after giving the app extra permissions to enable keyboard I get battery drain again.
Using Gboard as well.
How did you get the keyboard working without having setting permissions via ADB? @browy

I only go to the Settings apps, then Accessibility, under Services I just have to switch All in one Gestures to on.
But everything doesn't matter now. I dropped my phone today and it's now heavily damaged . Aluminium frame is bent, screen is shattered, part of the doesn't display properly. Maybe I'll switch to the Honor 9. Man, this phone is only 3 weeks old.

hybrid properties do not get saved

When I try to change the hybrid properties they get reset every time and the values are not applied
What could possibly be the problem and how to change the properties
Also how to disable the home button unlock and widget paper complete disable?
These features were present in the cm10.2 and can't find them anywhere in this rom
Thank you

You've got a few questions needing answered here, if you could provide more information, you'll get more direct responses.
As far as hybrid settings go, which ones are you attempting to change? Also, make sure when you go to settings/developer options, root is set to "apps & adb."

Thank you
Wasnt aware of the apps and adb and now working perfectly
and for the other questions
I was able to disable the home button screen unlock and make only the power button to unlock my screen in the cm10.2
And am not able to find it in this rom
Also i am not able to completely disable the widget paper in the lock screen as it asks for adding new widgets in the lockscreen eventhough i have disabled the camera widget and all other widgets
Something i was able to do with the cm10.2
Other than that the rom is perfect:good:
Once again thank you for your very useful reply

Widget paper is when you are in the lock screen and you swipe to the left or right to use widgets that are pre set
I cant totally disable them and it asks me to add a new widget each time i unlock my phone

[Q] Set custom activation method for omniswitch

How do I set a different activation method besides using the default drag handle. Cant seem to set a hardware key to do to as there is no option for it, only to open the app itself, not the switcher.

Install app (be sure, that app installed to /system/priv-app, it`s Important !!! Maybe reboot needed.)
Ok, OmniSwith drawer appears when you press key assigned as "Last App list" (sorry for my inaccurate translate)
Eg long press HOME button.
And next step, I turn OFF "DRAG HANDLE" in OmniSwith settings (to facilitate interface)
Enjoy ...

Thank you for your response. Unfortunately, it still does not work. If I try to double click Home button I still get Recent Apps List. I also tried all the Nova Launcher options for shortcuts as well.
What I was hoping to do was use a Gesture Launcher , like Nova Launcher (or others like LMT) and be bale to use a gesture to open up Omniswitch drawer .....
Any luck on this ?
I made a alternative...

Looking in this link: https://github.com/omnirom/android_frameworks_base/commit/13d9f74a72136786a8ddcf3fd02bf07ab2a02073 we can see how ominirom system call ominiswitch overlay. Thinking that I did a app that call the overlay and you can use in a custom gesture of your launcher.
If can help improve this alternite, help me on github: https://github.com/augustoicaro/Toggle-OmniSwitch
Note: Its only work if you really use omniswitch app(org.omnirom.omniswitch)

Just download app in my last post and overlay recent app's button function, if you can do this in your rom(button will call the app).
If not, call app as launcher's gesture or other way that you kwon to call a app.
When you call the app, the omniswicth overlay will open(like swipe blue overlay on right border).
If you can't config this, please pm me.
Please, check if packge of ominiswitch that you use is org.omnirom.ominiswitch. If not, send me via pm the packge name and I compile other app for your packge.
Cheers.

System UI Tuner not working

Hi All,
Just got my Nexus 6P from Google UK to replace my HTC One M8 GPE (Been an amazing phone. made better by GPE)
Anyway, I've enabled developer options, but can't for the life of me get System UI tuner to work, the settings symbol just wont spin at all, tried holding it for 2-3 seconds, 5 seconds and 10 seconds.
Also tried this on my HTC One M8 GPE, Nexus 9 and wont work on them either?
Any thoughts? got developer enabled on them all.
Took several tries for me to get it. Hard to see it spin with my fat finger on it.
it wont spin at all on any of the devices, I can hold it down so my finger is fully over it or I can hold it down so only part of finger is on it, but it wont spin.
Got it working, turns out you have to have animations turned on in developer settings for it to work.
I still want able to get the System UI Tuner to show up in settings after enabling animations. I don't know what else to try.
---------- Post added at 07:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:32 PM ----------
Never mind I got it to work. I had to turn off developer settings. Restart phone then use the normal method of turning it on. It worked fine after I did all that.

How did you disable the developer settings?
Go into Settings>Developer Options
And at the top there is an "On/Off" toggle. Then restart your phone. And do the method of enabling the "System UI."
Tried to get System UI Settings. . Nothing worked until I read posts above. But I also suggest that if you have shut off animations in Developer Options - return them to the default 1.0 so you can see the gear spin. Reset them after you get the System UI options.
I've got an updated to nougat p9 and it doesn't work at all
What I heard system UI is for the Google phones.

"OK Google" from locked phone no longer working

This seems to have started up recently when the screen is off and I can't quite figure out if its tied to the Google Play Services version or not. I'm on the latest beta of Google / GPS and it doesn't seem to be working on Oreo.
Curious if this has happened to anyone else?
I'm on GPS 11.9.73 and I think it ties more into that

Go to security/smart lock and see if trusted voice is in the menu. There may be an app not playing nice with smart lock. If greenify isn't set up right it can cause this issue.
It is in the menu and brings me to my screenshot from above. No Greenify or any doze/power saving changes
Edit - annnnd out of nowhere it starts working again 3 hours later

Annnnd, also out of nowhere, it's working here, too.
Interesting, too, it that the "Settings">"Smart Lock" page is no longer blank:
A lot of the setting don't seem to work for whatever reason. Like limiting background processes just..doesn't.
The only fix there is for this is to turn off smartlock by going to setting, security, and trust agents then turn it off and restart the phone then re enable the smart Lock

App automatically close

Hi all,
Anyone maybe know some tricks to stop this damn JoyUi to automatically close my apps?
I cannot even use my smartwatch normally because of this because it constantly closes Huawei Health app.
I set "no restrictions" in battery settings, enabled auto start of app but still it closes automatically after some time.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
I've had this issue since the latest update. Smartwatch app and apps like YouTube background play or anything from the browser in background play. My music player doesn't get closed though. I wonder what's different with that (PowerAmp).

I use JetAudio music player and it gets closed from time to time but not even close as often as Huawei Health app.
1.Open app you want to run in background .click recent apps. Press and hold app you want to not force close click the padlock.
2. Search autostart in settings and toggle on apps you wish to run at startup
3. Search battery optimisation in settings click app battery saver click app and select no restrictions to Disable battery optimisation.
---------- Post added at 12:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:23 PM ----------
4. Disable miui optimisation in developer options
I know you tried to a couple of these already but in my experience all four steps are needed to stop the apps closing also check that autostart hasn't disabled itself on device restart check the apps auto start setting and check autostart app is still toggled on.

Hi,
Thanks for this, and i already tried all that and only thing that works for me is "locking" app in recent menu and even that is not for long run. It needs to be repeated after few days or reboots.
Under endurance optimization try Switching off intelligent battery life and long standby mode
Think I solved this by going to app battery saver. clicking the three dots top right. Click show system apps .press and hold on any app in the list. click select all. Click more. Click no restrictions.
