I have a t-mobile us touch pro 2, stock rom, and for the life can't figure out how to enable single column mode in PIE.
Slightly related, if I go into zoom out mode in PIE, should the zoom bar do anything? I've spent a lot of time trying to determine if my zoom bar is broken or if it just doesn't actually do much.
--fg
having not heard anything, i'm going to have to believe one-column mode was removed in pie with wm6+
I have since upgraded to the stock wm6.5 rom and can say the zoom bar seems to be slightly more sensitive and definitely more integrated with pie, doing more than just changing the font size. Still not convinced it aint broken, but at least now i can see it working.
Hi!
I've just flashed my samsung s with an official firmware xxjf3 (because I've made a mistake with the previous one....)
Now the phone is back like a new one, but I've noticed that the transition between homescreen and app screen has a very annoying and slow fade in/out that all other pages (options, direct app, widget and so on) don't have (they have another transition, faster and better - don't know how to explain).
It is possible to change this particular transition either by flashing the ohone again or change some file/hidden setting?
Thanks.
I promise I'm not a noob to the G3! Perhaps I'm just losing my mind a little... When I first got the device I played around with it and added customs icons on the home screen just for fun (and soon removed them). I want to try some new ones out but it's not working like before. I obtained what I wanted from Icon Archive (as before). I threw them on my phone and they are showing up when I go to add custom icons. However, it goes to crop them (and it seems alright - the crop image is small when looking at it but the the entire image is selected. When I confirm, the new custom icons on the home screen are tiny. What am I doing wrong? I downloaded the icons from different icon packs so I highly doubt there's an issue with the dimensions of all of them. Am I missing a step? Thanks!
Figured it out. Needed higher resolution images after all.
I've heard some people are getting less battery life and more lag while others are saying better battery life and more fluid. What is your experience using lollipop? (especially the 8.4 version since I own one and want to know if I should update or stay with kitkat).
Thank you
I flashed the saudi arabia firmware on my 8.4 and factory reset it, I don't notice any difference with battery life or fluidity but I install nova launcher + disable most of the bloat so it has always been very smooth for me both on kitkat and lollipop.
I really like how multiple users are set up now with both restricted access, screen pinning and temporary guest modes, there is a lot of flexibility there and the user switching has moved to the top of the notification bar so you can switch users at any time.
I like all the new animations and uniform teal & white color scheme, in kitkat some things were black background, some things were white, in lollipop it feels more uniform.
What I dislike is that it feels very much like a phone rom ported to a tablet, the recents menu in kitkat made sense to only cover the bottom of the screen but now its a full screen giant sized card recents menu like on our phones and it just looks gigantic and makes multitasking harder in my opinion. Then on the opposite side of the scale the size of the notification bar has shrunk and is super tiny compared to kitkat, it takes precision to click the buttons now but at least it looks better I guess.
Overall, I do like lollipop because of the way multiple users are handled, improved notifications and sd card read/writing fixed, I just wish the recents menu wasn't replaced really.
Personally, I have found nothing worthwhile in Lollipop. I didn't want to update but since AT&T pushed it OTA I had no choice. It installed the update while I was asleep (after asking me several times during the day if I wanted to apply the update) and now I'm stuck with this ridiculous iPhone color scheme, the previously-mentioned obnoxious "recent apps" screen, the complete crippling of Tasker and the necessity to dig deep into menus to enable/disable mobile data.
I haven't noticed any new features or any significant change in performance (for better or for worse). TouchWiz is still a piece of **** and I'm never buying another Samsung. If I want a UI that looks and feels like iOS, I'll buy a damn iPhone.
I also don't like the new notification panel or the fact that I can't see it on my lock screen. I can either have full-blown notifications blasted across the lock screen (similar to Google Now cards) or nothing at all. There was nothing wrong with simply having the panel's notification icons visible on the lock screen. Now I have to unlock my phone to see if I got an sms or a voicemail.
I suppose that wouldn't be such a big deal if this device had a notification light that I could customize with different colors for email, sms and voicemail.
Based on the new way the OS handles (with no thought to whether there is any difference in performance), I recommend you stick with KitKat. Lollipop just plain sucks.

dont get mad at samsung, at&t was the one that forced it down your throat.
Well I am happy with kitkat, and lollipop has been available since yesterday for my T800 in the UK, I have auto updates disabled, and a found an thread dealing how to cancel an update and remove the update notice, which i have not seen yet.

John.
Besides the general low quality of this piece of software, here are some specific pains:
1. SafetyNet test fails (no root) - WTF? Can't use any of my work applications because of that.
2. Status bar notification icons don't appear (except for Gmail, for some reason)
3. About device shows there's an update available but I can't update because I'm not the "owner" of the device (there is only 1 user configured, no multiple users) - screenshot attached.
Please share your experience and whether or not you're seeing the same issues (or more).
Thanks!
Another botched update from oneplus scams
Well, it's a good thing I decided that the OP9P would be my last OP smartphone. I'm gona stick with Pixel phone from now on. Finally release A12 and no phone or data works. Really OP???
- Phone stuck in 60hz like 99% of the time.
- Keyboard doesn't have this convenient padding anymore. (On botttom to make typing easier.)
- [Launcher] Can't search apps with a single up swipe anymore, will have to find some hacky solution again. Usually I put a KISS launcher shortcut on other phones. But why ruin it when they had it ....
- [Launcher] Folders open on the middle of screen. Makes no sensse.
- [Launcher] The whole launcher experience is just way worse.
- Battery Management is a mess, now there are other options per app. The previous settings were reset.
- Rooting with Canary Magsik can soft brick. Managed to fix it but it took me a while and I consider myself a veteran.
Honestly, tons of great features are missing. I wish they would just give us a lean AOSP instead like the ASUS Android and call it a day. This feels like a botched, budget Android on a cheap Chinese phone.
App drawers can only display 4 icons per row. Anyone knows how to change it to 5 per row or more?
it is no longer possible to film and in 21:9... or I am blind.
Like a say h8Aramex Phone stuck in 60hz like 99% of the time.

That's not actually a bug, that's feature. Go to notification settings for particular app and you can set to show notification icon on status bar. Disabled by default for all apss (I think it should be enabled by default), except Gmail, Dialer and a few others.
Bug I found:
- font size issues. I want to set small fonts and dpi. But some apps, like default camera app, power menu, google feeds when swipe etc has still default large font, experience is terrible
- custom dpi set in developer settings will be reverted after reboot. If you set smaller dpi in phone settings, it will be applied a few seconds after boot, phone starts with default dpi
- AOD does not work, even if enabled, screen will turn off when inactive
I installed via built in ota from Oxygen 11 Global, I got update to ColorOS 12
Just got my first 1+ yesterday and was really impressed with the OOS 11 experience.
All day long. All the magic has gone after the update.
In addition to what was already said, the AOD is flickering terribly.
Perhaps it is caused by the pwm of low frequency.
Lol, I paid 1000 euros for this phone because the software was supposed to be good...
Oh yeah, the CLOCK. What is WRONG with that CLOCK!? LMAO.
I mean look at this ABOMINATION.
WHO DRAWS A CLOCK LIKE THAT? SATAN?!?!??!
Like wtf lol.
I have a new problem. I listen to music while walking with my wireless headphones. The phone is in my pocket. Unknown reason causes the phone to crash.
I feel it's going to be complicated.... At least I have 5G working.
Why would they remove the seconds on the clock feature. This update is horrible all around

Get Nova launcher and don't look back?
I'm not even going to upgrade A12, I deleted the 4gig update I got from Oxygen Updater. Oneplus just shoot them self in the foot and will not recover from this. I'll be suprise if they sell 1k Oneplus 10 phone next month.

Is your phone in 24-hour format? Mine looks normal in 12-hour format but like yours in 24-hour format. I don't use the stock clock app so I hadn't noticed.

They didn't. This is only when setting an alarm in the clock app.
Camera goes bananas when zoomed beyond 10x.. See attached
Any custom DPI set in developer options is completely lost after reboot.
Reported by me multiple times and was also seen in previous phones/Android versions.
Hi all, i can't open the icon option in the Launcher and and in the settings too it simply crash and nothing. Anyone as an idea? I just wipe launcher data but nothing.

Did you select "High" refresh rate in settings? Mine is at 120hz the vast majority of the time.
I have issues with screen brightness not adjusting to low-light conditions. When setting my phone on my dash mount I have to manually adjust the screen brightness down or go blind, even in dark mode. Worked fine with Oxygen OS 11. Fairly disappointed with the overall quality of this update, and I usually love getting the shiny new OS version update.
