Samsung Sidesync - Galaxy View General

have been looking for way to mirror and control my view tablet from my pc and had pretty much settled on scrcpy (which is awesome) after trying alternatives such as teamviewer, vysor, etc... unfortunately tho, as far as i can tell, you can't transfer files using scrcpy and the mirrored resolution isn't that great... i tried samsung's built-in sidesync, but it appears that it was designed more for mirroring in portrait mode in that the landscape mirroring is strecthed vertically, at least on my system, which was disappointing because the mirrored resolution is outstanding plus it offers a lot more bells and whistles than scrcpy, including file transfer... thing is, i use mirroring a lot, so the funky screen resolution (stretched) bugged me, it probably won't bother most...
anyway it was an easy fix, just by editing 2 skin files (xml, jpg):
before (stretched app icons, large control buttons on bottom of frame, stock blue frame):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
after (corrected app icon shape, smaller control buttons on bottom of frame, black frame):

[WAD2] Working on a concept: Feedbacks?

So, I'm working on a concept called Devonshire and I'd like to get people's opinions on it.

What I want to do with the photo stack is actually keeping the white frame and cutting out the photo so users can add their own photo underneath to simulate their own photo. Is there a way to do to this and make the photo cycle at a predetermined interval?
The Home Page icons are all new and semi-transparent. The 1st icon will bring up a sub-menu with 6-8 most common used programs. The 2nd icon is the phone icon. The 3rd icon is the alt-tab icon. The 4th is the S2U2 icon.
I'm thinking that pressing on the clock will open the "next appointment" dock.
What do you guys think?
Terrific concept. Look forward to the finished product.
I updated the first page with the five different tabs side-by-side. Right now, I'm about 80% done with getting things installed unto WAD. By later today, I should have a version that I can upload here =D
For both the apps/settings page and contacts page, the bottom right and bottom left corner of the book will change the pages (docks).
I have a question: For the home page, is there a way on WAD to make the photos change every 5 min automatically?
Also, I haven't played around with the built-in agenda in WAD, but is it possible to use the graphics I have for the agenda (Today header strip, highlighted strip, day header strip)
Any feedbacks?
It looks a little cluttered to me, but it still looks nice.

Pulse widget size problem.

}
As can be seen on the first screenshot, in landscape, the pulse widget that has its original size when you initially add it on your honescreen (the one on the right) is too small to display all its content and needs to be resized to achieve a more appropriate look (one on the left.) However, if you change the orientation from landscape to portrait...
...the resized pulse widget (one on left) that looks alright in landscape becomes compressed while the pulse widget (on the right) with the original size looks okay. On top of that, they'll be overlapping each other. (-_-)
What I'm trying to achieve is to have them look okay in both landscape and portrait orientation. I'm looking at putting about 6 pulse widgets in my feeds homescreen. Do you think its possible? Is there an app/widget that can help me achieve this?
Thanks in advance, y'all!

[Q] One-sided color shift when looking at the screen at an angle

Have you noticed such thing on your G2 device: when looking at the screen from the RIGHT side, at an angle, there's a color shift, especially when looking at an uniform color background (red, blue). For example - when you look at the red pattern it becomes yellowish at the very high angle (almost flat), BUT this thing doesn't happen when you look at the screen from the opposite direction (left). I have a 16 GB version.
I have attached some pictures and would be glad if you could check it and confirm whether it's present on your device (display/dead pixel test software is helpful here to display one color on the whole screen - like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gombosdev.displaytester). And also - which model you have - 16 or 32 GB?

This is also present on my device, but i really doesn't pay much attention to it. In real day-to-day use i don't see it. Many reviews stated that there is a color change on G2, so it is an issue for most of people on G2, just some people see it, some people don't.
If you wear polarized sunglasses it's actually impossible to see the screen when in landscape, this and lack of wireless charging are the only two things I can fault on this device and honestly the former is pretty minor imo.
Thanks for your answers, so unless anyone says he doesn't have this issue I think it's just specific to the LCD panel used in this phone.
I have a blue shift to the right and yellow shift or the left. Quirky panel.

Honor 5X - ONE HAND MODE

One-hand UI is user-friendly feature makes more convenient to use Honor 5X with one hand. Sometimes we feel difficult to type text messages with one hand due to the 5.5 inch screen. One-hand UI feature helps to shrink the user-interface to give more convenient to use the device with one hand.
One Hand UI comprises of two functionalities:
1. One-Hand Layout
2. Shifting Keyboard
To activate one hand layout:
Settings > One-hand UI > Enable One-hand layout
If you are holding Honor 5X in your left hand, swipe the navigation bar from right to left.
If you are holding Honor 5X in your right hand, swipe the navigation bar from left to right.
To activate Shifting Keyboard:
Settings > One-hand UI > Enable Shifting Keyboard
Now your Dial pad component will be to shifted left or right leaving the whole background layout as same.
Also some people swipes the navigation bar from left to right or vice-versa and get it unknowingly. If you have came to this thread in search of fixing the Shrunken UI in Honor 5X, just swipe the navigation bar in the opposite direction of the Shrunken UI.
One Hand Layout:

Magnify your screen by using Magnification Gestures

Regardless of how great the screens are on our phones, the content is just too small if you have powerless visual perception. Wearing glasses whole time also irritates a lot. However, the android magnifying gesture feature helps solve this problem.
Magnification gestures allows users to zoom in or out the whole screen of your device. It temporarily magnifies what’s on your screen and pan the entire screen to give a closer look at the screen content.
Here’s how you can enable Magnification gestures in our Honor phones:
1. Go to Settings -> Advanced settings.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2. Tap on Accessibility.
3. Click on Magnification gestures and enable it.
When magnification gestures are enabled, you can magnify, pan, and zoom in the following ways:
a. Zoom in and out by triple-tapping the screen. Then, while zoomed in, you can:
· Drag two or more fingers to pan across the screen.
· Pinch two or more fingers together or spread them apart to adjust the zoom level.
Note: If you enter or exit an app when zoomed in, you automatically zoom out. Simply triple-tap to zoom in again
b. Temporarily magnify what's under your finger by triple-tapping and holding. In this magnified state, you can:
· Drag your finger to explore different parts of the screen.
· Lift your finger to return to your previous state.
Note: Triple-tap for magnification works everywhere except the keyboard and navigation bar
