I miss swiping my statusbar to adjust brightness.

Hopefully you consider to add this feature.

It's been considered and decided against.
Mainly because it's a hidden UI element and not very intuitive. These are key points we are trying to cover with the new direction the ROM is taking.

I loved this feature on my GS2. Why isn't it working with the GS3.
Maybe a feature in the future...i loved it, too...

yes that swipe feature sure is missing.
perhaps a custom rom in the near future can address this issue.

With e.g. CM9 its possible...
In regards to brightness I'd like the auto brightness to realise when i am outdoors and its very bright so as to increase the brightness to make a dark screen visible! However outdoors visability is not good. HTC one s was slightly better

A feature I'd like to see on home screens

There are a few themes now on themer that do a lot of clicking to go screen to screen but scrolling is still possible to go to the screens, so I would like to see an option now to disable scrolling for the home screens to make this more effective.
Unless it is already on the app then can someone show me how to do it?

This is a good suggestion, we'll definitely add it to our list!
I would just like to bump this back up, in the event that it was forgotten about...I would still like to see this feature sooner or later...
This is a cool feature :good:
we have been waiting a while for this one,and again to reiterate it is a needed feature

Sent an email to the developers again to see how easy it will be to implement. Features like this sound easy to implement, but in reality it might take a week straight to get right, and in that time the developers could be fixing a ton of bugs and adding in performance improvements. We'll keep you informed though!

Feature Request: Favorites in a Folder

Is there any way we can get Favorites to open as a folder instead of opening the app drawe? Maybe an option? Folders open a lot faster than the app drawer.
I like the simplistic themes and really only need the favorites in addition to phone, email, and text. I also like using the double tap gesture to open favorites, but the app drawer is much slower at opening than a folder. If I add a folder to the home screen, I have to re-create it every time I change themes, and I can't use the double-tap gesture.
Thanks for listening!

I do like it! The most recent category is pretty much a pre-built favorites list. I like the new app drawer a lot, too! Thank you
Now we just need a way to open that category via a gesture (double tap for me)
yeah I like it well done but please please please can we have continuous scrolling and resize icon ,these are very badly needed and will only improve the feel of themer,I got the save as option but just for christmas give us these two options.:victory: or at least a time scale of when we can expect
There is already Icon Resizing for the app drawer.
8 columns and small icons works awesomely for the Note 3. =D

Resizing icons on screen is on our list, for now we're aiming providing the best looking themes
I would have thought sorting features out and issues would have priority ,in my opinion no point trying to get best looking themes if everything in the themer app isn't fully working.Just my opinion as mentioned

Agreed, but the trouble is that it's a lot easier said than done. A somewhat simple fix to a bug or a performance improvement could take weeks to solve, which isn't easy with limited resources. The devs are doing the best they can to juggle adding new themes, improving the performance, as well as fix the bugs and crashes.
You guys rock!

Good job! But, sometimes icons looks very small, and is it real to make active status bar?
thank you for share

Feature Request: Quick Settings: Swipe to switch

Hello Developer Team,
I absolutely enjoy using Paranoid 4.3 BETA3 on my Nexus 5. Performance is awesome and even the battery life improved by a lot in comparison to the stock ROM.
But there is one feature I really miss from my old S3 with OmniRom:
The possibility to easily switch between the notification drawer and the quicksettings by swiping the bar at the bottom.. Due to the large screen it is always a little struggle to reach the change button in the upper right position.
I hope you can consider to implement this feature, it would erase one of the last disturbing things in the ROM (for me)
Thanks and Greetings,
Fabian
This. I think this feature has been a feature that I have missed greatly on my Moto X.
Yes! I would love this feature too! Very useful!
+1 this feature would be awsome
Agreed.
Yes, would be very useful! :victory:

+1 too for this feature

thats way far from stock like and its a hack
we're not implementing it EOS
ok.
But it still feels like something that could be a feature in 4.5 or 5.0, that was what I mean -designed for common android user-
For example 'immersive mode' or 'pie controls' are not stock-like experiences.
I don't mean that they are useless features, but they don't look very natural to me they look more like a 'hack' designed only for 'some' users.
That's my view though.

★How To Get True Immersive Mode/Fullscreen/Expanded Desktop in ANY Rom★

Want true fullscreen in any 7.1.1 Nougat rom? Want to be able to get maximum viewing space on your 6p? I have a treat for you!
Although the 6p screen is very large, I'm a huge proponent of maximizing screen real estate.
I found this setup is awesome because it gives you so much more viewing screen for everyday use. For example, in Chrome, now you can see so much more of a web page and it makes your viewing space so much better:
1) All in One Gestures App: enable fullscreen (within the app to get true fullscreen/immersive mode. Expanded desktop rocks. Massively improved viewing space baby!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...gestures&hl=en
2) Download Swipe Navigation App: from playstore. This is AWESOME. Enables swipe gestures to navigate and swipe as opposed to having a physical navbar. This saves huge amounts of screen real estate. At the bottom of the screen, left swipe up is back, middle swipe up is home, and right swipe up becomes recents. (This is so cool).
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...vigation&hl=en
3) In a build prop editing app (I recommend BuildProp Editor), paste this line and save:
qemu.hw.mainkeys = 1
(this removes the on-screen navigation bar, now you have awesomely improved screen real estate!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...p.editor&hl=en
Can you use the build prop edit to hide nav bar in 7.1.1 last I knew it wasn't possible.
Not sure where you heard that, because yes you certainly can!

it's possible to hide the navbar. it's not possible to change its height (through substratum). maybe that's what you heard
Hmm. Keyboard won't work when you enable immersive mode in All in One Gestures. Kind of a deal-breaker.
Edit: tried out Swipe Navigation and the build.prop edit. Works perfectly right now. I was a little worried after restarting the phone because the Swipe Navigation app didn't start right away (I couldn't back out of an application, lol). But it started up in less than a minute and everything is good. I'm going to use for a while and maybe buy the $1.50 add-on that unlocks custom actions.

Please don't spread misinformation. The keyboard DOES certainly work when you enable immersive mode in All in One Gestures. Everything works perfectly. I've been running this setup for 3 weeks and it works like a dream. This isn't the crappy GMD fullscreen buggy app, lol.

Are you using kii keyboard alpha 2 or gboard? Or the crappy AOSP keyboard? Gboard and Kii both OWN the AOSP kboard. And they both work PERFECTLY in immersive mode. I can post screenshots to prove it.

1. I'm using Gboard. Most recent version.
2. That just fantastic that it's working perfectly for you. That doesn't mean it will work for everyone.
3. Screenshot of the app itself is attached. So it obviously isn't 100% functional.

Oh my god... alright, whatever. Your logic is just flawless, I guess. You're right, it works for everyone - every, single person. Even me... somehow?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This app from the play store is the best that I have seen. Cost $1.99, I brought it with google play credits from the google surveys. It will give you the tiles in your toolbox and everything. You can hide the status bar, the nav bar, or both, plus alot extra. I use it. As long as your rooted there is no need to edit the build prop.

Easy there you get very defensive.
Rather then squabble with you, i think i discovered why it's not working for you.
Are you using superuser or supersu? I'm using the newest chainfire supersu SR3 beta. This might be your issue:
http://download.chainfire.eu/1021/SuperSU/SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742.zip
** IMPORTANT** Also, did you enable all permissions for the app?
As you can see from my screenshot, this is mine, works perfectly and IF you take the right steps i highly suspect it works for EVERYONE.

The reason why you need to edit the build prop, is because, if you want to use Swipe Gestures (the easiest and superior method for nav bar-less navigation imo) is because otherwise now you have two extra steps. You swipe up from bottom, and now you wait for the nav bar to 'come up'. You then hit the button you want. Takes time.
With my method, you instantly navigate with a gesture. One lightning fast action. That's why removing the nav bar in build prop is so important.
Also, the app you suggested costs money. Can be done better and at absolutely no cost.

Like I said earlier, I set my phone up just using the Swipe Navigation app and the build.prop edit. It's all working right now, so I don't really think that first app would add any benefit to me right now, even if it was working for me.

Could be nice to use. I have SuperSU Stable v2.79.
I just redownloaded the app and gave all permissions. Still no keyboard. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I clearly stated to download the beta that i posted. It's like three months ahead of the 'stable' SuperSU development cycle.
What rom are you using? I'm using uberstock.
I flashed two other roms, and I was able to get the keyboard working in immersive mode in both.
Everyone felates and sucks off purenexus, but Uberstock runs circles around it in my opinion.
