As i really like the fact that they use the hole at the top right. Of course i would like it to be dark/black&white. Is it possible without root? If yes, will there be significant change in battery consumption?

widgets vs battery power

hi guys....i just wanted to tell you a secret of mine...
it seems that digital clock saves battery faaaar better than the analog one (not one...several which i tested...all default)...or it just seems to me like that
Makes sense...Analog clocks have a constant movement,digital moves once a minute.
I dont use any so i cant talk about it by experience...to be honest i dont understand why ppl use them...when i turn the pda on i have a big clock in lockscreen and in almost every application i have the top clock,not very big,but although i use glasses im not that blind.
Why the hell would i want another big ass clock,when im always in the same timezone!?
I guess is a visual thing for most...its a question of taste.
i liked them,but as they are not effective and drain battery....i gave up in them
but i recalled that we have the android's clock too...
and started testing it...it's great and looks neat....and even better battery life i believe
i will provide a screenshot when i get to

Rosie Screen Count

Is it at all possible to edit something to make Rosie go from 7 screen to another number ? I don't really use all 7 and was thinking 5 would be a much better idea. And I know there are after market home apps that can do it but I do like the widgets that come with Rosie. Something like the Zen Rom has where you can choose between 5 and 7 screens ?
Really, no one has any idea or even the slightest interest in less screens ?
I would gather it's of no tangible benifit. If you want fewer screens, don't put anything on them. Sense is going to take up memory whether you have 1 or 7 screens available to you, it's embeded too deep into our OS'es. If you really want the customization, use a launcher like HelixLauncher that gives you this customization. You can even use your home screen in Landscape mode with it
My vote: Even if it's possible, it's more work than its worth.

The Zen rom has a choice of 5 or 7. Just wondering how that is possible and what it would take to maybe make it work on hero rosie. As for the other launchers well the htc widgets I prefer over the 3rd party ones. Not really a big deal, was just curious.
Another thing, Darch and 360, wonder why no one else has tried to implement this yet on hero.

[Q] G900f aosp with some TW features (possible)?

Hey guys..
I would like to ask you about an aosp rom with samsung futures.. cause i hate touchwiz.. the settings.. the statusbar and everything.. I have been searching for a long time but could not find anything about such roms.
So my question is: Is it possible to take a rom like CM 12 and add featuers like the power saving mode of TW or a fingerprintscanner support for that rom... Would be great to hear about a rom like that
Greetings.

No. Closed source makes it difficult. Personally I find touchwiz sufficient and can't wait for lollipop.
But couldn't anyone take the priv apps and port then for cm and add a setting for the priv apps then or something ?
And lollipop will be great... but much will be white.. they take a amoled display and then they do everything in white ?! Thats dumb...

And the entire set of framework code that will go with it
There's a reason no one has done it in the years that aosp and touchwiz custom ROMs have been around
Mods generally are written from scratch in aosp ROMs

If it were that simple I would do it myself, your only hope is a google play edition but I reckon even if we get one it won't have a fingerprint sensor. And I don't really believe the whole black is better battery thing. I mean sure pixels off is but a lot of the time we actually get pixels showing a dark shade rather than off. You would have to spend a lot of time in settings or sms to care is what I'm saying. Plus if anything like my nexus 7 lollipop will improve battery and counteract this. But samsung may screw it up, pray that they don't cos kitkat got it right and made touchwiz an artistic and useful interface. White is used because its more pleasing to the eye than that bluey grey thing they got going on
Just sad... but thanks for your answers..
If there would only be a fingerprint scanner support i would even be happy.. but sad if its not poosible/too hard

You could try Alliance ROM with AOSP theme

Huawei's ridiculous "merge call log" (a good UNDO solution?) and a THEMES question

Huawei's ridiculous "merge call log" (a good UNDO solution?) and a THEMES question
There's a couple of problems I have with Huawei's stock "look"
It seems even when you download and change THEMES, certain stock apps (like contacts/messages) DO NOT change. I am stuck with the "light" theme (inside the app, not the ICON itself) and looking at the white and green text messaging screen. I want to change this, but there's no option to do so. If downloadable themes don't change this screen colours, what does?
On top of that, I HATE the fact they MERGE call logs by contact or by time. Why can they not leave as is...and UNMERGE in the order the calls were received/made?? is there any way of separating this outside of downloading a 3rd party app? Any good apps that do this?

Please don't all get up at once...
You can build your own theme and change everything what do you want. If you spent some time with it you will learn it quick.
Can you elaborate on the steps to do this..?

- Call
Just use a secondary call program. HTC's Contacts/Call is utter trash, so we have been using Contacts+ since 5-6 years. You do have to turn off the annoying crap in it, but then it becomes the best caller program ever.
- White themes
I agree, but to be honest, only Samsung has these full themes.
Now you could either buy an S8 for 1.5-2x the price of a P10 Plus and enjoy themes (and have subpar specs)... or just wait for a new EMUI.
Or... I don't know.
See: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/themes/theme-dark-bloom-emui-5-0-dark-dialer-t3544249
Maybe it's possible to change things, I will try to look into this. The white theme annoys me too.
Most apps out there have their own themes, like 'light and dark' as the one-size-fits-all EMUI approach is backwards and retarded. Surely Huawei want their device owners to have some flexibility and creativity on their layout?
I will download Contacts+ and have a play with it...

Have you used the phone...and for how long?
1 and 2 week "reviews" people post that review battery life are never worth reading. Unless it drains significantly, and feels like 50% less use...then battery life is worth actually reviewing and comparing after the phone has been USED consistently for a goodf 3-6 months. Drain it completely, recharge it fully, then start drawing conclusions.
That's not a statement to support Huawei, but I'm not jumping the gun and concluding it has a horrible battery life...or NOT YET. Quality and use of parts is questionable with Hauwei and one reason why Samsung and Apple stand out.
After i rooted the phone I've installed greenify and get home from a 7am-6pm workday usually with 70-75% on LIGHT usage.
Anyway, at least my problems are fixable...most things are with root!

Advice should it Update to pie? I have read no many good comments ☹

Hi ? everybody i have the S8 no even 2 months with this gorgeous device i wanna ask about your Pie experience Did you like it? Performance ? Do you like the new looks? Do the themes applies well on pie? Do you prefer pie or samsung experience ?
I see soo much bad comments on the aspect of this new version of software im doubting to upgrade
I strongly recommend you to upgrade to pie. Try and see the difference.
I love One UI. Im not a complainer with technology so maybe im not the person to ask, if it works well im happy i have real things to do than complain. But for me personally no issues and love the icons and the ui layout. Also full screen with no nav keys is nice to have. Im stll on ZSAI beta 3 i havent even gone to stable and it all works fine. Been using Pie since first beta... performance is good. however i dont play games but its fine for me to call, email, sms, and use insta, camera and browser. If thats your use then no problem its worth doing
yes you should, everything is working fine and there are a couple of nice new features
those of you that have One UI already on their S8 installed - can you check and see whether the "HIGH CONTRAST THEME" from the Samsung Theme store is still compatible with PIE?!
I am just holding off my the One UI b/c I am want to be sure that that theme works b/c I love it so much...I don't want to lose compatibility...THX
