How to change the settings menu into individual tabs? - Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ive searched everywhere and have been trying for an hour. Currently i have to scroll down in the settings menu . How do i set it to scroll left or right to the tabs? You can see the difference in the pictures ive posted of my settings screen shot and the screen shot of the settings menu in the youtube video.
Thanks in advance.

It's not an option on the Verizon Note 4. Meaning some variants have it, some don't.

Pretty sure Verizon stole the tabs from us, it's normally in the menu button under view, we don't have that.

App Drawer List Mode?

I just got my Note 4 and one of the biggest things that is bugging me (besides the delayed menu button) is not being able to have my installed apps display in an alphabetical list. Is there anything that can fix this?
I found an app calle 'App Drawer' but I am now unable to remove the default 3x4 grid icon on the bottom right which makes having 2 icons for different app drawers incredibly annoying!

Hey Dreyzzyn,
Did you ever find a solution for this problem? I just upgraded from the Galaxy S3 to Note 4 and very much miss my apps in "alphabetical list" mode. So much easier hitting the starting letter of the app you want and BAMN...a listing of apps with that letter pop up. But this Note 4 is confusingly not allowing me to do it.
Thanks in advance. Thought this phone was supposed to be so powerful...yet I find I'm missing my S3.

Get a launcher!
Note 4 stock does not allow listing of apps, to do this you must install a launcher. I use Apex but there are many out there. Just install it and pick set your apps to list view. As far as lag, to get rid of it just set Window, Transition and Animator scale to "off" under Developer options and you should be good to go. I've done that since the S3 days no problem and phone gets waay faster.

Yes it dose with the stock launcher. As texasez said "click on "apps", click three small squares on top, sort, alphabetical". The screen shots are with the stock touchwiz launcher.

I think you misread the original post as he's looking for an "alphabetical list'. This is not possible on the Note 4 as it was on Note 3 and Note 2. If you think it's available please post of screenshot of that instead of just showing that you can sort apps alphabetically which every version of android can do. Two, totally different things. I've posted what an "alphabetical list" looks like in Apex since you can't do it in touch wiz. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/31104043/screenshot.JPG

Ahh I see said the blind man. I wasn't aware of the difference from list view and order.
Yes get a third party launcher.. I use Nova.. but like the fozzir said theres Apex and many others that are great.

[Q] Lolipop Notification drawer.. WHITE!!!

Oh god please tell me I can change this to the dark theme from KK. I looked in the settings and cannot find it.
Love this phone but I cant take it anymore without root and custom roms. 90749175791 ATT bloatware notifications, lag, and now horribly disturbingly ugly WHITE notifications in the notification drop down.
Someone tell me there is light from this dark tunnel.
30 views 0 replies, looks like the tunnel is getting darker. Selling Note 4 : 500 flat =)

Yeah, selling it is your best choice. There's no way to change that without root, and root is not looking good.
Cant you just downgrade to kitkat?
You can change it if you're willing to use a different launcher. Nova Launcher can do it, for example.

Where is the option to do this?
I don't think nova launcher does it. I have nova and don't see the option. I know you can change the notification bar. But don't see options for drop down menu.

I was going to say "Nova Settings > Drawer > Background" but I just realized I'm still on KitKat. Maybe it's different on Lollipop...

Thanks, actually I tried that, that setting is only for APP drawer not notification drawer. I still have a Note 3. Its sad but I may actually go back to Note 3 and give my wife the Note 4. Other option is to sell and go to another phone, not sure yet, the Note 4 with the gold versus case just looks too good

[Q] Note 4 aesthetic UI differences

How come I can not figure out how to get my quick settings to look like icons instead of list view. Anyone else know how to do this. I'll try to post a photo of one I've seen online.
Also, I guess AT&T has disabled the "mobile data" and "hotspot" quick toggle options, from the notification pull down.
I have friends and family with the verizon variant and they have some different quick toggles also not on AT&T UI. Such as "download booster"
Sure wish I had ROOT! It's the little things....
If anyone knows how to change any of this on the AT&T note 4 please help. Especially the quick settings portion of the menu. It's driving me insane. I want that icon view. And no I'm not talking about easy mode.
Hit the menu button inside your settings. Then hit view as and make your pick.
I'm also pretty underwhelmed with this update. While I love the speedup and smoothness of this I'm kinda disappointed that sammy(and att) left out a crap ton of 5+ goodies.
themeing options?
Underwhelmed is right. I thought lollipop was to bring icon / launcher themes. All I can find is "colorspace" profiles, or am I missing something?

List vs tab view. They still stay in list as far as the quick settings. It just separates all the others into other tabs. Still not icon view like photo I posted. Maybe its just the at&t version won't do it.

Requests for Edge Hardware Mods

OK folks, here's where you can request for Edge Hardware Mods. Got team member @dsexton702 from Team Acid who will be working on some things for us. Leave any requests here for him and he'll try and work his magic.

You want the Butter Mod? How would you hold on to it?
a couple that come to mind right away would be to have the edge bring up apps for multi-screen, another would be jsut to have it bring up recents, then remap the recent button to menu.
would be great is somehow the edge screen could be on everytime the main screen is on, without any other user intervention..
thanks

I agree with this x100 for notifications. The whole swiping back and forth is stupid and cumbersome. I currently use an app called " no led" to show my notifications, but it would be awesome to have them just always scroll across the edge screen.

I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!!! Memories...
Personally the only mod I want is the return of Ambient Display.
Moved from S4 to S6 edge - love the device except for 3 things - no continuous scroll of pages / screens - no voice control for alarm clock / music and can't sort apps alphabetically - not sure if this is the right place to post this but worth a try - i am a major noob with android but is it possible to copy the code for these options from an s4 to s6 - another lower priority one would be glance view - i know they tried to cut bloatware from touchwiz but to me these were excellent features

Sort apps by tapping the A-Z button on top right in the App Drawer. The others I'll leave to people who know.

Beat me to it. As for the other thing like vioce controls, have you tried S Voice? That app is still on this device. I don't use it so I used Ti Backup to freeze. Might want to give that a try.
As for the other replies to this thread, we are looking for requests on the "Edge" part of this device. Let's try to stay on topic please. That's includung my fellow Team Members. BTW, good to see you around @bhundven
There is no abc on the top right in the app drawer only edit to remove apps - as for svoice it is pretty limited on control and won't control alarms - sorry for being off topic

If this is not what you see, then you must be using a different launcher. That's what is there for stock TW launcher.
here is what i see on stock TW

Are you sure you're using the S6 Edge? Your Screen Resolution doesn't even look right. Take a screenshot of the "About device" of your phone. Something seems a little off there.
I resized the image for upload - did some searching and it looks like i am not alone

Ah, so you're using an International device. That would explain a lot. Anyway, let's try to stay on topic here. This thread is for requests on the "Edge" hardware function of this device. Trying to see what we can actually do with the "edge" technology.
Actually, I have one request which @dsexton702 already knows about, but just to give you all an idea of what this thread is for. Edge on both sides at the same time with different functions on each side instead of just using one side at a time.
Hardware huh... LEDs!!!!!!!!

Screen off memo

Hi, every time I write a screen off memo it will not show on the AOD screen. Instead will go directly into a icon. If I tap twice the icon will appear for a brief time and then go back as icon.
The time it will stay on the screen will not be combined with the date/time.
Anyone has the same? Is it a problem of the settings or csc?
Tks

Yes, same here - direct to icon. I saw review videos where the screen off memo actually remains on the display along with the always-on screen. I tried every combination (i think) of always-on display and lockscreen notification settings, but never found a way to get it to stay.
On those same videos, by the way, the main settings screen looked very much like the one of the Note 5 and not at all like Grace UX, which is what i have. So i wonder if there are different software versions out there with some serious differences.
Maybe csc related ? mine is XSG.

If you go into the always on display settings and then about it should show you an update is available. After this is downloaded it is now working correctly.
Not sure why this did not ship on the phone or they make the update more obvious.

I didn't get an update prompt, but this helped me. I opened galaxy apps and looked for updates there. sure enough, there was, and installing it fixed it. All good now!

i didn't check that, but Galaxy App pushed an update of Always-on Display yesterday, and indeed now it works the way it should
Thanks. Update worked. I was wondering why it wasn't working.
