bxActions still works, so long as you flip the compatibility mode setting on.

Landscape mode for apps (Chrome)

Hi,
I just received my Nexus 7 from Google and I am having trouble using landscape mode with Chrome.
1) I did drag down the notification shade and tick the screen lock. I also checked it under "Accessibility" in Settings. It still does not move to landscape mode when using Chrome. The same can be said with YouTube.
Anyway to fix this?
Swipe down from the top in Portrait mode, look for the rotation lock logo at the top center and click on it.

Sorry, I should have said it works fine for me.

I just thought jelly bean didn't do landscape. Thanks for this. I feel like a f'ing idiot. I'd clicked that, but it didn't do anything, so i just put it back. I guess I should read that nexus 7 guidebook thing I got...

close apps

I upgraded to the s7 edge from a s4, is there a way to change how I close apps from the 3 line button to long holding the home button like on the s4?

I believe there agree paid apps to do this, or xposed would be required, however there is no xposed for nougat yet if you are they latest firmware.

I'm not on nougat yet and if you might be able to tell me what apps I'd greatly appreciate it.
Install xposed then use something like wanam or another I can't remember the name of. They allow you to mod the UI how you like including remapping the soft keys.

Gravitybox I think the other one is called.

Is there a way to turn off light on capacitive keys and enable on screen navigation?

I know it was possible on other xiaomi phones, but is it possible with Google's software?
Thanx.
If your phone already rooted you can edit build.prop to enable on screen navigation

On Google rom too, not only miui?
Good news, thanx. I don't have a phone, but I plan to buy it if that's possible .

you missed the question.
yes we can edit the build.prop to activate the navigation bar, but not everyone wants that black bar.
we just simply want to turn the capacitive button lights.
hope some day we figure it out :good:
Any news? It's the only point that stops me to buy this phone (I hate soft touch buttons, in this way they will be invisible).
We can enable the software keys but how to disable capacitive touch buttons on mi a1, i have already edited the generic keyboard file added # to comment those buttons but that doesnt work for this phone.. anyone here with the solution?

You can achieve it using GravityBox ( xposed module ). In GravityBox under 'Display Tweaks' click on 'Button backlight Modes' and select 'Disable button backlight'. You can even enable transparent navigation bar under 'Navigation bar' setting.
Slight side question but related... Is there any way to get the key backlights to stay on longer? (Without root)
I came from a Sony which were the other way around so would like to see them to learn the new order!

Do you mean the feature is present by default?
How can you enable it because on my phone it's disabled.
I know there are apps on Google Play store which can do this, I'm already using one called smart wake.
But I'm looking for an app which does not use much battery.
turn off power save and if u have pattern turn it off and set again it will give you option in notification>

(Q) VOLTE / LTE notification, how to remove?

Wasn't always there but have a notification up the top right by the signal bars.
Theres a not so pretty and frankly useless notification as you can see from the image..
Can't find the switch to turn it off, personally don't want to use VOLTE nor do I want to see the notification.
How can I turn this off and remove the notification.

Yep no option for that. I remember there being a hidden menu. Will see if i can find it.
One from a code and one from long pressing edit the status bar switches.

Never used it, never needed it and never had a problem before.
Plus I don't want LTE checking for calls constantly, my guess is it'll impact battery compared to regular calls.
Personally it'll about me if it's left on, currently I've just hidden it, so if the battery SOT I'm currently testing is adequate then I may leave it
I have this but also have 4g notification there as well ,how do you get rid off it also how do I enable WiFi calling

WiFi calling is in the screen shot I posted, it's under each SIM. In network settings.
Settings/display/status bar/ icon manager
