Hi,
I have seen several apps, which will rotate the screen, i.e. Gyrator. So far that works nice.
But in some cases, i like to switch screen manually and override the automatic sensor.
Is there a way to do this?
If not, is there a tool, which lets me manually rotate the screen, same like in my old Trinity?
Best regards,
Michael
registry hack to enable screen rotation ui tab

describes how to enable the screen rotation ui tab, and works on the blackstone too.
Hello,
One of my fav feature is the "Quick Glance". Quick Glance displays alerts when you wave your hand over the camera with the screen off,
However, there's a delay/lag in the alerts displaying. Is there a way to increase the speed?
Thanks.
Hello!
My wish is to make an app accessible in the fastest way possible, without going back to home screens or other menus.
The app is 'display filter'.
I used Screen Filter for years (I think it's from XDA), I recently switched to display filter because it offers an overlay bar to adjust on-the-fly the amount of % filter without switching focus to the options screen.
Well, I would like this to be activated by the long press (or something else, a gesture, or a combination of hardware buttons (which on the nexus 7 are only 3...volume up-down + power). I usually read comics, and that app is very helpful even with daylight (also to have some privacy in case you're surrounded by people).
Is it possible to do what I am asking?
I also thought of 'wave launcher'....but I think it doesn't work while I am using the comic reader....that means I would turn page whenever I would have to bring up the wave launcher....so that doesn't work.
Any ideas? Leaving the display filter always active is not an option (at least not the best one).
Sorry for reviving a dead thread, but I have a solution to your problem. GMD gesture control is an app that allows you to configure your own multitouch gestures, and I think that you'd be able to make one that opens your screen filter app. The full version of the app costs ~$5 (well worth it in my opinon,) so if you reply I could try it out for you
I'm new to Gnex, came from a Galaxy S Advance.
I noticed that the screen brightness from my Gnex on "Auto" is very dim - At least with Paranoidandroid 3.15 and AK Diamond 044 Stable.
Trickster MOD helped me to correct the colors, but not the brightness.
I found a lot of threads regarding this issue, also bugreports and blogposts, some referred me to apps like "lux" or "velis" to adjust the levels.
Now as Paranoid has that function built in "Settings -> Display -> Brightness -> Adjust" I wonder if someone else hassled with those controls and has some good results.
Here are my values, they are better than stock but not tested in an environment > 200lux.
Thank you for your shares!
Apps like Velis or YAAB are more intuitive for tuning auto-brightness than these CM type controls IMHO.

well, i dont like those apps, at least yaab runs as service in backgound and if it is running you are not able to set brightness with the brightness toggle in toolbar menu. But I admit it is laboriously (strange word... thx google) to set those values with the built in controls.
I upgraded to Android Q DP1 yesterday through OTA and noticed the double-tap-to-check-phone feature now always displays the full lockscreen including wallpaper. Same thing for lift-to-check-phone. In Pie, it used to show ambient display first when double tapped. I have the Always On Display disabled. Is this a bug?

Yes, the "Double-tap to check phone" and "Lift to check phone" options are still there, and when enabled those actions still wake the screen, but the wake behaviour has changed, which is what I'm wondering about. When woken, it now shows the full lock screen rather than the ambient display (black background and dark theme) that used to show up in Pie.

Ohhh...ok I know what you mean now. Personally, I like it the way it is now in Q.

It's down to personal preference for sure. I wish they would've made that wake behaviour configurable if it's not a bug.
I wish the same too even in full 10 release they didn't change this behaviour
It's better to wake the ambient display than to wale the whole phone in case you need to check nots.
:good:
Hey all!
I am glad too see somebody else also noticed it. I absolutely adore the clean design and funcionality of Pixel's AOD, but the changed funcionality of double-tap to wake (from waking AOD to waking the whole screen) annoys me. I even rolled back from Q beta to Pie hoping they would not implement this change in stable release. Now in order to see AOD you need to have it on constantly, which actually drains some 1% battery per hour (that actually makes it some 15-20 over a working day's period and is actually quite substantial.), also during the night. I also don't stare at the phone all the time to need AOD all that time - a gentle tap to peek the time, weather and notifications is just enough - I see some of you would agree.
Is there any way we can appeal to Google similar to OnePlus's feedback section?
Hey, has it also become iOS like?
I hate whole iOS lock screen turning on. What a shame
I spent time factory resetting my phone thinking that the missing ambient display settings were a bug, I never thought Google would remove that functionality. The language under the "Lock Screen Settings" sounds similar, but they don't do the same thing since now it just wakes the entire screen. Real bummer that Google keeps removing features.
Yeah, it seem they went almost full iOS on this And it was so good: tap twice - AOD shows, tap twice again on that AOD - the lock screen shows. Why Google, why! At least give us an option to schedule when the AOD can be turned off automatically (like at some hours at night).
And to think I bought the Pixel just a week ago to finally taste the stock Android. It is good, no doubt here (and the phone size and general style is very refreshing from thos behemoths I used from Sammy, OP or Huawei), but OnePlus seems much more thoughtful and practicality-oriented. And what is the more important the pledges from the OnePlus community actually work quite often which I don't expect with Google somehow.
I'm fine with it. Not a big deal.
