I don't know how much clearer I can make the question.
I'd like to be able to take photos while the phone is still locked with a pattern.
This is a common feature on many other phones now. For example HTC one or S4.
Presently I'm on stock. I have to enter my pattern to be able to access the camera app.

Hold your finger on the last dot of your pattern for a second, you'll get a couple widgets including camera

You can also set your quick memo button to be the camera. As long as phone is on you should be able to use the button.

Any way to disable edge-zooming in the stock browser

It drives me insane when I'm using the device one-handed and trigger this "feature" when I scroll near the edge of the screen...
Same here especially when trying to bring up the quick controls.
Same here on international version

There seems to be no option. The browser itself is one of the best stock browsers I've ever used. But I want to punch sammy in the throat at times for not allowing that to be turned off.

I agree I would also like it to be disabled. The other big annoyance in the stock browser is the double tap to zoom doesn't work (over zooms every time - naturally you have to be in desktop view to see this). There is a setting to alter it but it doesn't help. Firefox works correctly but I end up using the stock browser most of the time and just pinching.
I no longer have this problem. I was stock AT&T, then rooted, then running International ROM with a stock browser that doesn't have the edge zooming. Yes, it did annoy me when I had it.
Wow! You're right! I also changed to a different rom a while back but kind of forgot about the problem. I thought I was being more careful I guess. No! I forgot only because the problem was gone and didn't notice! Yet another reason to get off stock! Great info, big :Thumbup:

huh?
No movement on this topic I guess. This feature drives me nuts as well but I don't want to go to a different rom to resolve it.

Well you can also use a different browser - plenty of choices out there...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
This actually occurs on the stock browser as well as other third party browsers...

The new update eliminates that irritating "feature"!

Yep happy to say that the latest 4.1.2 update removed this annoying behavior.
Indeed. I guess they realized it was more of a pain.

Motion/Gestures and Smart Screen

I dont know if I'm just doing something wrong or what but I cant seem to get any of the motion and gestures or smart screen features to work.
Any tips?

Well I got a few to work. I didn't realize how certain features are limited on where they can be used

what do you launch with your quickbutton?

currently have mine set to none.
tried the camera but i seem to keep accidently pushing the button which is weird because i have to press firmly and accurately to click the power button
Camera. Makes burst mode easier.
Google Now. After hitting the button I say "Google" and speech recog starts right up.

Quick memo takes a screen shot, and it is programmed to the button by default. Simply hit the save icon and select gallery to save the shot to your sd card.

Camera for the moment
Would be great that the button wake the phone and launch the app! !
Voice search. Thinking about changing it though, not sure if I need that there. Not sure what else to put there though.

Navbar

So I made a switch from rootbox to hyperdrive, and I like it. Tw is pretty good. I'm missing a few things though I got accustomed to.
Is there a way to get the nav bar enabled, and maybe even rings? It made it so easy to access my messages or phone from any screen.

Bump? Or perhaps a point to something similar in regards to this feature?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Nobody has ever wanted this before? There must be some kind of request
Sent from my SGH-T999 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
get XPosed Framework, i know one of the mods (don't remember which one now) allows you to enable navbar. i'm not sure if it has the rings though.
Can you point me to the module?

How to get rid of quick remote?

How can I get rid of quick remote from notification bar? Even after freezing the app it still shows on there can't seem to find any setting to the it off the notification bar drop down menu. Anyone having an idea? Using a LG G Pro.

Are you talking about quick remote or quick memo? I don't think quick remote stays in notification bar. Or are you talking about slides?

Here is a screen shot. Ever since I activated this app the remote stays and can't be taken off. I even froze the app and it still is in the notification drop down menu.

Oh, I think I had that same problem. I think I had to delete all the devices to get it to stop doing this. Also, it has a feature that allows it to automatically start devices when it connects to your home WiFi. Make sure that is disabled first. If that is not the problem then simply delete all devices you have set up in the app and it should stop.

Nope that doesn't help. It is only for the remote to show up automatically when connected to a WiFi connection you can select. Also freezing doesn't help it either. I also can't swipe it off the notification bar. It sits here forever.

Then delete tv1 and it should go away. If you have other devices set up you'll have to delete them also. This is why I quit using this app.

You might try SD Maid. Open the app, slide over to app control tab, tap screen to refresh app list, then scroll down to quick remote, tap it, then select freeze app. You can also use SD Maid to delete apps. You might have to buy the pro version. Not sure.

LG told me there would be no way ones opened the app to get the notification bar remote status gone. That is totally stupid.

I did it

You should just be able to tap on the QuickRemote button again in your drop down. If you've removed the button (or never had it in your dropdown toggles), then swipe all the way to the right of your dropdown toggles to "Edit" and then hit the "+" in the upper right corner. Now, when you tap on the QuickRemote toggle, it will toggle the controls that appear in your notification dropdown.
I hope that helps. What I described is the normal behavior on my device. I haven't removed or frozen the app and I'm stock/rooted.

Don't feel too bad about it. It took me a while the first time to figure out how to get rid of it.

Funny thing is that I contacted LG about it as well and they told me it could not be removed. Lol LG doesn't even know there own stuff that well.
