This might be a bit of a noob question (noob here), but I can't see to find any clear info on this. Is there any point to the Pie controls on the SII? From what I can tell, the main point of using this is to get rid of the customisable hotkeys on other models. If us SII users are stuck with the hotkeys, all that enabling full screen Pie does is loose the status bar, which is a killer I think?
I'm obviously ignoring personal preference here of course - it's a nice enough set of controls which I'm sure some people love, but it seems quite limiting without my status bar (notifications, access to settings, etc)?

You don't lose your statusbar, at least not on SlimROM
Like DE said, you keep the status bar unless you toggle the option to display the status bar info along the Pie grid.
For S2 it's more of a gimmick than actually useful, for the reasons you stated, we're stuck with hardware keys.
Thanks guys - looks like I'm getting the hang of it, now that I'm playing around with Hybrid properties.
Hey TrueSmart users. For those of us that use Nova Launcher by default - the status bar doesn't show in any app besides a few seconds in app transitions. I've tried "always show" status bar apps, gestures, Xposed modifications, etc - still nothing. It's like our status bar is a different species of status bars... Anyone have any luck (or not have this problem at all with Nova)? I'm curious to know.
For any launcher other than what comes on the watch you have to use swipe status bar and enable "alternative mode".

I mentioned that in another thread, it's a bit of a pain because it blocks part of the screen for clicks. Ehhh....
Until somebody pretty much rewrites the UI/Framework it's all we got.

Open swipe status bar. scroll down to "Try it". move the slider for area poition and area width all the way to the right, adjust sensitivity all the way to the left. this reduces the non-clickacble area to a sliver and i've not encountered it interfering with anything.
Hi All,
It took me a while to figure out, but you can add an option to hide the grey nav bar on an unrooted HAM2 and make it reappear by swiping up. It is somewhat confusing because the nav bar setting is not available if you have your Emotion UI set to the Standard home screen style. You have to apply the "Simple" home screen style first, which is the one with the giant colored buttons for grandma to use.
After you apply the Simple home screen style, go back into settings, select More Settings and then scroll down to the bottom of the list. You will see a new option called "Navigation Bar" has been added. If you press this option you will see a toggle switch for "Hide Navigation Bar" along with some instructions on how to use it. Once you have toggled the switch to hide the navigation bar, you can revert back to the Standard Emotion UI and the setting will be retained.
After I hid the navigation bar I found some apps I had difficulty installing would start to work OK. For example, if you try to install NBA Jam without hiding the navigation bar, it will get hung on the initial splash screen. After I hid the navigation bar, NBA Jam would check for updates and then proceed to the game without any problem.
Hope this helps anyone having difficulty with the nav bar!

this looks great with xposed and gravity box so that my navbar is transparent and can be hidden on command!
thank you!

This is the Kitkat feature I missed the most. My main motivation to buy a HAM2 was to read novels in it, instead of carrying a smaller phone and a tablet. For that purpose, the screen is stunning, but that dammed gray navbar was always in the way. Not anymore!
Thank you so much for this tip. You made my day!
Wow, nice find!
Now I have a bit more room on this already huge display. Thanks! :good:

This option should be there regardless of what launcher u are using.. It's a standard feature in the settings.. No? I have a China version on 4.4.2.. No sure if there's a difference though..

Thank you,.!.!
Only reason I wanted to rood was immersive mode, this is close enough.
I love this phone even more now - coming from a 32gb One plus one.
Damn! You had a oneplus one? I got an invite but I'm gonna have to pass on that

WOW!!! Thanks so much for sharing this great find. It works GREAT!!!!!
Thanks given. This was the only reason I was rooted. Along with greenify. Now with the ability to hide the navbar and the ability to disable background apps included in the stock ROM, I really don't have any need for root. I still might use links2sd to install more apps if I hit that 6gb limit. This phone is solid!
Making the navigation bar hidden is called "immersive mode". There are apps on the Play Store that supposedly let you toggle immersive mode. Please post your results if you try one.
I'm guessing those apps will let you switch to immersive mode independent of standard or simple mode.
So it looks like the G6 has an awesome button at the bottom to pull down the notification shade so you dont have to stretch all the way to the top of the device. How about moving the notification shade to the bottom? This would make a lot more sense given how big phones are getting. Really the only reason you stretch to the top of the phone is to get to the quick toggles or notifications up top. Would be great if this came from the bottom to alleviate this.
Hi
Well, that requires a software modification, but if you want that button, it can be easily added if your rom supports Navigation Bar, you can add custom button and set function to pull down notification, and even if it doesn't you can add it with xposed and gravity box app.

Are you gonna be updating weekly (or monthly) as are official versions? Gotta try this rom as i've used its previous version.
Ps. Is your name from band with same name or something else?

At least once a week, maybe more, depends on life and school.. I have only done 8 builds and I'm trying to get better with each build and eventually have an official status so I figure the more I build and familiarize myself with the entire repo, the more good I can contribute to the Shamu community.
And your last part, very good, yes it is from the band Full Of Hell, they are one of the few bands that don't care what anyone thinks and create art ahead of the curve. I respect that, and I needed a tag for XDA. Lol..
Thanks for this! About to try it and have a quick qn - it will work with Fi I assume? Also I see it ha EX kernel built in, so while flashing do I still get to see the EX wizard which asks me things like wake gestures, color etc? If not how do I set those?

I think it will work with Fi, not sure, give it a try and let us know please.. u do not get the ex kernel manger app. U can install it via play store, and mess with those settings through the app. The features are in built, u just set them how u would like.

I don't mean kernel manager app. I mean when you flash EX kernel in recovery it runs thru a wizard which lets you choose all these settings. If I dont do it here, then in my experience even if I choose 'apply on boot' in kernel manager, the settings never stick. e.g. dt2w, if I set it while flashing it works every time, otherwise I have to open the setting app every boot and again set it.
Hope that makes sense? I'm sure there's some file thats being written maybe init.d scripts etc.

I know what u are saying. U do not have that setup wiz within the ROM, every feature and option is just in built and u can use that ex kernel manager to set those settings as u would have when u do a standalone ex kernel install with the wizard. It will work this time, cuz the ROM was compiled together with the ex kernel source code and the rom itself.it is built with them all in there. Just try it and u will see what I mean.. paid version of the app btw..
Update: any settings u adjust or change within the ex kernel manager app to turn on or off fast charge, double tap to wake etc, they all can be set, then tap the power looking button to turn on and then they are set. I tested this with a couple reboots to be sure. They stick and are working great. Wavesdashdoc has some settings listed on his rom repo, that may benefit as well. For now I am personally just running default and everything is running perfectly....
So happy to see this.
The ROM is great. Running since last night after a clean flash. One bug I've found so far is that the volume down key does not lower the ring volume and does not enter DND mode. Instead it lowers the media volume. I've checked the button settings and they are correct. Also the phone got a little laggy at some point today and I rebooted.

Thanks, I am glad you like it. Couple things that may help you out, The volume key being for the media volume is a setting. Go to settings/screwd settings/system/buttons/ Turn off "volume keys control media volume" and turn on "do not disturb switch"( this will allow you to show DND when hitting vol down..hold it and it will turn it on).. this fixes both of your issues. About lag, that must be some app you are using. I have been using the Rom for the past 2 months and chose to build this specific rom because of the zero lag. So i am not sure other than maybe user apps, old gapps, or maybe u changed the default kernel settings to try to improve the performance and messed up the default config by mistake... I built with EX Kernel's newest source because it has so many inbuilt features and in my opinion is a flawless kernel. So, any suggestion i would gladly look into for you but on your end i ask that you please document what running services you have and when and under what circumstances the lag occurs. That way i can better help. Additionally, i do not condone the use of Xposed b/c the lag/performance drop resulting from it. That is another possibility.

Thanks for the quick response! I followed your advice and got the volume button thing sorted out. I didn't root until today, I changed the ex cpu governor to ex instead of interactive that's the default one as I find ex provides better performance... I'll let u know if the lag appears again and under what conditions

Rom is fantastic. Fast, great battery life, Viper, Maps, You Tube, Netflix all working. Bluetooth connection to watch is very good.
Question: I have jump to camera with power button on. When I changed the bottom right lock screen shortcut to messaging and double press the power button with the screen off it opens up messaging instead of the camera. Is this intended? First time I have seen this behavior.
Thanks

Thanks that means a lot. Ok so the past few mins I have been trying to replicate your issue. I have to mess with it some more, but I got it to do what u said. I think the gesture for power2x=camera, only works like it's supposed to if the bottom default lockscreen apps are left at default. When we changed them, it modifies the power2x=camera gesture to match the new default app that has now replaced the camera. I got it to gesture and open 3 different apps I set as my bottom right default. So it's kinda a bug, and nice catch I don't miss much and missed it..lol. but I will ask the team if they know if I can fix it, or not. Worst case, I remove that jump feature or at least set it up a bit differently so doesn't have unintended results. It should maybe just say hold the power button to shortcut to your bottom designated application...Sorry if it "screwed" up your intended shortcut..(pun intended..screw'd) har har..
Some info for anyone wondering
