CM 11-20160115-SNAPSHOT-XNH0E0O00N-i9300 (4.4.4) -can't locate 'sticky home' button - Galaxy S III Original Android Development

Hi guys,
Read the recent news about CM14 being available for i9300. Amazed, I thought I'd have a look.
Noticed that it was only currently in BETA so opted for CM13 instead (Marshmallow).
As impressive as it is, that Marshmallow can run on an SIII, IMO... it is quick enough moving through homescreens, but when it comes to launching apps, it was taking roughly 5 seconds for a typical app.
More resource-hungry apps like Skype (always a slow starter), or Chrome, took about 8 seconds. I decided to revert back to my tried and trusted CM11.
Installed it, and it's looking a bit different to how I rememer, I might now being a slightly newer build than before, and some changes are welcome (app drawer icons stacked vertically, rather than swiping left-right through screens). It also looks a little marshmallowish in my opinon. All good!
However, I'm looking for a feature I truly miss: in my old KK, I used to be able to longpress on any screen, and click a 'HOME' icon to make that the sticky home screen. (hardware home button takes you to this screen).
my question: --------------- is this feature missing, along with the other cosmetic differences I mentioned, because of the newer build. Or is it maybe that I'm using a newer version of Gapps? (Im now using OpenGapps). When I browsed to the OpenGapps homepage it default selected OGapps 4.4 ARM. ---I would have thought that the 'sticky home' button I'm talking about would be more to do with the Launcher than Gapps?
Cheers if you can help

Can't help you with that, except to use an alternative launcher.
But besides, I think that's the wrong section for your question cuz this is the Developer Forum.
There is a Thread for cm11. I advice you to post your question there.
Good luck

[Q] App list, dialer and other basic questions after Jester's Liquid ICS

I've recently updated to Jesters Liquid beta rom and now to the new 2.7 version if this makes any difference. I used to have a setting on the stock rom that allowed me to view all my apps as a list instead of pages of icons. I can't find this setting now. Is this due to Nova launcher, ICS, or me just not being able to find it? I really, really prefer a list with large text, much like the manage apps list that shows up, instead of a bunch of little icons that all look similar to older eyes that also don't see colors well.
I use Go Contacts ex and it's dialer, but this seems to be the same with the stock dialer. If I program a number to speed dial that has pauses inserted int he number, the call will not go through. It worked on the stock rom, but not on the newer roms. Is there a different dialer I could try or some other setting I can use to make these numbers with the pauses work again? (that's a trick from long ago where you would insert a pause after the phone number and then another number after it, like a password or access code, so that you could get into a voicemail system, etc. by just using your speed dial)
Pop up notification from a phone call. Any way to really increase the size of the text on this? I don't have any contact pictures downloaded, so I need to be able to see the name or number of who's calling. Any suggestions?
The status bar at the very top. I think I've figured out most of the icons, but could use a little help to be sure. Left to right it looks like
Bluetooth Screen brightness Location settings? (does this turn on and off GPS or what?) Refresh (is this to turn off sync features or what does it do) Wifi, Flashlight. How did I do?
I can come up with more questions, but I'm guessing you're tired of reading by now, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
So, 24 hours, almost 200 views and not one response? I must have asked the most difficult noob questions ever, or am just so stoooopid that no one wants to waste their time with me. Wonder which one it is?
I can only help with the status bar question.....
Go to Menu.... System settings .... Interface ....... Status bar ....... Toggles....... Power widget ....... Widget button order.
From there you can see what is selected and the associated icons. I have changed the defaults, so I don't know if your guesses are correct. From the Power widget menu, choose Widget buttons to change which buttons are displayed.
Probably just a bunch of Silverado drivers don't like Fords

I'm using Apex launcher on Liquid's pure ICS, not Nova on Jester's, but they're more alike than different and you can install Apex if Nova doesn't have this. But either way, try hitting the menu key, then Manage Apps, it should give you a list like you're looking for. Likewise, go to the App Drawer and click on Menu and it should give you the same option, or Settings -->Device -->Apps

I use the stock dialer, so I'm not sure about Go, but having used it in the past, I'm sure what you're looking for is in there. You might want to see if there's a FAQ section on their website, or go to one of the less technical forums and do a search in their apps section. Alternately, you could try DW Dialer, EX Dialer or Dialer One and see if they better meet your needs.

Try Settings --> Display -->Font Size
or
Settings -->System-->Accessibility and see if the app it suggests helps
or
search for Accessibility in the Play Store.
Also, maybe a different theme or dialer would help.

Everyone's is going to be different.
Go to
Settings -->Shortcuts-->Interface-->General and/or StatusBar. Check and uncheck stuff and see what it does. You won't break anything, though you might want to do a back up first in case you just really screw it up.
I can come up with more questions, but I'm guessing you're tired of reading by now, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I tried it on the stock dialer too. The problem appears to be related to the stock dialer programming. I think the dialer apps I've played with somehow just piggyback off the stock dialer for function.

I haven't had much luck searching. Everything seems to be centered around a larger contact picture instead of larger text. I don't have any contact pictures in the phone, so that doesn't help me.
Thank you for taking the time to reply though.

And just to be clear. If I select Manage Apps, a list of apps does show up like I'm wanting, but that menu is made for stopping, uninstalling, etc. I would like my app drawer button or whatever you call it to display my apps as a list when I'm looking for an app to open. I'll download Apex and give it a spin
It's an inelegant solution but maybe a good start. Download ES File explorer. That has an app manager button that lists everything in text format. Click in an app and it gives you a choice for details or open.

That kind of works. If I leave the app manager open in list view as the last thing in that app, then each time the app is opened I get a list view of apps. It requires pushing on the app and then pushing open, but at least it's a list, so I'm happy. Apex lets me move the app icon out of the way and stick the ES app in it's place, so this will work for now I think.

It's a Sense thing. I think most of what you're looking for is available stock on Sense based roms.
Someone just developed a new one based on the BAMF leak and it's pretty smooth.

I'll look, but honestly, I really don't enjoy switching to new roms. It takes me forever to get everything up and running the way I want it and to learn almost enough to function daily with it. I do like the list view though, so I'll keep an eye on reports of battery life. I did try the BAMF leak and was extremely disappointed with the battery life (running extended battery) and data drops. That was my first new rom (I originally rooted just to get rid of bloatware), and I was complaining about my dislikes on another forum when someone pointed me to Liquid's version here. I downloaded Jesters beta version and loved it compared to the BAMF leak. After having read all the internet articles, I was under the impression that the BAMF leak was the cat's meow. Now I realize those articles are about as unbiased as the national so called news.
Is Santod's new sense rom as laggy as the BAMF leak, or have they tweaked that out of it by now.

Almost no comparison to BAMF. Much smoother. Honestly, not as smooth as Liquid/Jester but data/signal seems more stable and almist everything works.
If visual stuff, contrast and ease if use are issues for you, it's worth a spin. I'm also running Apex. I don't know if that contributes to lag over the native Sense, but it has the features I want.
Yeah, switching toms is a royal pain, but you do what ya gotta do.

Tablet UI

Just for kicks (and because the half phone/half tablet ui really bugs me, takes up too much space with bars on both the top and bottom of the screen), I went ahead and built a 'stock' JB 4.2 AOSP rom for the N10 with the tablet UI enabled (thanks to the N7 thread on XDA for the modification details!). (Check out the attached image!)
It seems to work well, and it's a very simple mod (though I've hardcoded it to test it out) Would be nice if some of the future custom roms could come with an option to choose the UI at some point!
Here's the link to modifying the source to enable the tablet UI for any of the dev's out there interested:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1780970
Awesome.
Awesome. I can't wait to get mine (ordered yesterday).
Can the navigation buttons be flipped?
Does editing the LCD density in /system/build.prop not work for 4.2?
Can't you go back to full tablet UI with the app drawer button at the top? The empty hot keys navigation area looks strange. Also, you mentioned custom roms making it an option...doesn't Paranoid Android already do that?

Didn't try. I'm not a fan of that since it breaks other apps, this doesn't chance the density, so at least everything that would run stock should still run.

The launcher doesn't appear to have the app drawer by default (at the top of the screen), but if I install something like NOVA launcher, you get what you're looking for.
Paranoid does apparently have options to choose the ui mode, but I haven't seen that ROM for the n10 yet. Got a link to it???

Yeah, simple changes to the order of buttons in the navigation_bar.xml file would change the order of those buttons.
As I mentioned, I'm just messing around with the AOSP code, and hope a 'real' rom will come out with the option to switch to tablet mode!

I don't think it's out for the N10 yet. Coming soon from what I read. I was just point out that the ability does exist in roms, it just needs to make it to the N10.

how this mod is different from THIS
This is just different in one thing, not scrolling to down like Statusbar Scroll to Top
Does this classify as plagiarism?
Its funny when you think about it... iOS has this by default since forever, xD
But really cool framework
No more infinit scrolling to the top
Well... Don't think it was copied work as the developer didn't do his research it seems like...

But is it better than the older module we have? Because that one works really well, but not on all lists, and if there are a lot of images and stuff it lags a bit. Maybe this one uses a different method?
Does this one work with Chrome?
Guys, the xmod is open source by @MohammadAG: https://github.com/MohammadAG/Xposed-StatusBar-Scroll-To-Top | So this is not plagiarism (I think.), @wissam.az1 just improve. I confess that i've never used original xmod.

You did maybe a search on Google if some other experiencing the same issue? Maybe need to set a switch or sth..??
I will go tomorrow to a tech Shop & try it. On a 5x and 6p and report back.... If they really disabled it, then... Google need to not take so much stuff ?

Yes I use my phone one handed all the time, or at least I used to. Now I have to fumble with the phone to use a second hand or try to pinch zoom one-handed. Quite annoying.
I have searched Google and there are reports over the years of the feature being missing but nothing seems specific to N5X or Marshmallow...
I think most people don't know the feature is there and that is why they don't notice it missing.

I will also see hows on the nexuses here, tomorrow. But im pretty sure the dont removed it. Its a bug when. There would be apps and xposed modules at least to bringt that functionality back...

Yes I can't imagine they removed it, I think it must be a bug. I had this feature working just last week on my Nexus 5 (2013) before I got the 5X. I was running Cataclysm (AOSP 6.0 + tweaks I think) and the feature was there.
I also read about the zoom gestures, but that can't be it because it was never enabled... until I started searching all the menus of the phone to remedy the problem and found that zoom gesture (was disabled when I found it, but I enabled it in an effort to bring back the one-handed zoom). The gesture offers some one-handed zoom but it is really crap in comparison to the regular double-tap + slide. After messing around with the "triple tap magnify" in accessibility menu and finding it crappy, I disabled it. Still no double-tap slide zoom. Garrgh..

Well here's an update. I noticed I DID have the double tap + slide to zoom feature in chrome, but only on particular pages and only if I tapped in certain spots on the page. I'm probably just an idiot.
Regardless, I've unlocked, rooted, and flashed Cataclysm last night. No issues. Double tap + slide to zoom works as expected. Case closed!
I installed marshmallow today and my zoom feature no longer works on chrome either. I have a Samsung s6 edge

A "few" questions to the s10 Lite owners.

Hello!
I’m considering buying this phone and I’m heavily into customization, I have a few questions about what you can do to S10 Lite to personalize the experience and how far it’ll let me change things before I have to resort to root or custom ROMs that are risky and missing for now.
First, about the themes, I found two good customization apps for Samsung devices, Good Locks and #hex Installer, can you use together?
What’s the extent of their customization, using both or the best of them if you can only have one working, can you:
1. Have a custom accent color system wide? So the same color for toggles, volume slider, highlights, colored text, notifications, quick settings etc/ like on stock android?
2. Can you change quick settings buttons background shape?
3. Are you able to switch recents view to a vertical stack of cards with the clear button bottom center?
4. Can you change icons for individual apps with stock launcher?
5. Change the navigation bar height, button size and spacing between them?
6. I like two fonts, Ubuntu and Google Product Sans, is any of them available?
7. Where can I check Good Locks availability in my region? Also, can it become unavailable with updates?
8. Do 3rd party customization apps from play store work? Kwgt, Custom Volume Sliders, Custom Navigation Bar etc.?
Next, I have a few questions regarding general usability:
9. Can you get rid of google assistant/bixby? They can be installed, I just don’t want to ever see them or have them running when not launched.
10. Does the Always on Display work well, is it actually always on?
11. Can you have the AoD show 3rd party app icons with a notification counter?
12. Does it have any problems with 3rd party launchers, Nova specifically?
13. Have you tried the Non-root version of YouTube Vanced? Does it work without issues? Can you install it with MicroG and log in?
I’ve also heard that Samsung’s OneUI likes to kill apps and prevent them from running in the background.
14. Did you have any issues with widgets getting stuck, becoming unresponsive, not updating and not working properly in general because they get killed by the system, did you have any issues like this?
15. Did you have any problems with 3rd party app notifications? Are you getting notifications from 3rd party messaging, email and other apps? Do they still come in when the screen is locked and the phone is in deep sleep?
I’m sorry in advance, I know it’s a lot but I’m very used to having the phone set up my way and I don’t want to spend this kind of money only to have to immediately root it or put up with a phone that doesn’t work properly for me.
Lol.. This is huge. I'll reply to some.
7 Good lock is working fine. In my country is not available but no problem. You can download the apk, everything works. If you know what good lock can do, then most of your questions (1,2) are replied as you can change notifications colors etc, at least what good lock is letting you change. Also 3 yes, with good lock.
5 by changing dpi through developer setting you can shrink everything so shrink navigation bar. Other navigation bar apps also works.
8 kwgt etc working fine.
9 yes. Froze them and anythings else you want by package disabler pro app.
10 works fine. You select if you want it or not.
12 nova works fine. I actually can't answer about samsung launcher as i always use nova. If you use it, then most of your questions also being answered as you know what nova can do.
13 yes to all, i use it always. (I use the hacked completely black amoled version, not the gray one, last version).
14 I have a problem actually with 1 widget, eWeather. Is somehow change size some times, and when go to its nova page, it changes ok again.. But i haven't problems with any other.
15 I don't have any problem with notifications but phone is a bit strange. It has 2 deep sleep apps somehow and need to untick the apps you want to have notifications to both of them. It reminds me xiaomi
It is good as due to this probably it has amazing battery. But it is a bit aggressive i think. Some times i lost some notifications but it was probably my fault, I'm not sure. Anyway i don't think there is a problem there. But better have more answers to this.
My opinion is that the phone is fantastic especially in battery, but its all about what everyone needs more.
Perhaps my video there, the comment, some hacks, the description and xda link there may help you, read it. I updating everything useful i find by writing new comments there, so anyone interested check it by time to time. Most things i post there are working to most samsung phones.

Again, I can answer a few. Mine is completely stock (not rooted). I may have needed to change settings when I bought the phone, but I don't recall which ones.
9: I don't know about getting rid of the assistants, but I've never even noticed that they're present, so they're unobtrusive.
10: Yes, Always On Display does what you expect. I have mine set to switch off overnight, but that's entirely optional.
11: Yes, I get notification counters on things like Aquamail.
12: I've been using Nova since the day I bought it. No problems.
14/15: For context, I get annoyed by these kinds of issues, and I won't buy another Huawei phone for exactly these reasons. On the S10 Lite, as currently configured, I get all notifications and widgets update as expected (agenda, Google Keep etc.), so I'm happy enough. I had to turn off 'Adaptive Power Saving', 'Adaptive Battery' and 'Put unused apps to sleep' to achieve that, though, and I've added a number of apps to 'Apps that won't be put to sleep'.

Thank you very much guys! Your replies clarified a lot!
Did you/could you perhaps check if Good Locks and #hex Installer can be used together or if you have to pick one to customize the system?

I'm not sure if I worded it correctly in the OP so I fixed it now, but could you please clarify if this refers to the Always on Display?

Ah, sorry, misunderstood. I get 3rd party notification icons on the AOD but I've not seen a counter, I'm afraid.

I don't understand why.. One file name has the word "black" so i dont think i mistaken the files..
Try setting, go to general, display, and then choose the black theme therel settings - vanced setting - display settings (or something like this, i translate from my language), and there is also a black theme setting there. Although i does think this is the problem..
Try also the new version here :
(The specific link it's not pirate or something, it is only for vanced hack)

You must install no root, black arm64 version. I think you need sai application from playstore to install the file you will download.
