Anyway to set it to do a full clean every so often? Or is there a way to put a widget on home screen for it?
Also for data, is there a widget possible for that to be turned on or off? I use to have one for my note 3 but it doesn't work on note 7
There is a widget for it. Just tap it once to do a clean.
That widget only frees memory doesn't clean storage or battery, like the app in string does

Please forgive my ignorance, this is probably an easy one.
I just purchased the beautiful widgets pro app from the market and I have installed it but I am not sure how to use it. When I try to get to widgets on my homescreen I don't see anything different (any beautiful widgets) Does sense have to be disabled or something? What am I missing?
Thank you
So you long press an empty space on your home screen (assuming the space is large enough), go to 'widgets' and select one of the Beautiful Widget options and nothing happens?

I rebooted the phone and its all good. It was not showing any of the beautiful widget options. Figured why not try the windows method of fixing things...
I've been searching for a way to allow any widget to be added to my Galaxy Note III lockscreen. I am using TouchWiz 4.4.2. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

There is an Xposed module that allows you to add most widgets to your lockscreen. It's called the "Samsung Multiple Widget" module. It also adds back the 'swipe right for camera' option. Thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2363189
Edit: The thread above is the original thread, but the Dev is no longer working on it, so another user picked up where he left off. Thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/app-samsungmultiplewidgets-kitkat-t2690190
Also, you might want to install the "Notification Mod" as well to get notifications on Touchwiz if you are using a secured lock screen. The way Samsung stopped allowing us to access the notifications when there is a pin/pattern is very annoying.
Let me know if you need any help getting either of those installed (but it's pretty self-explanatory).

Thanks for the reply man.
So I get all that but what i am trying to accomplish is to allow ANY widget to be allowed to be on the lock screen. For example HD widgets official lock screen widgets only has the Glass Gems packages. If I was able to "trick" the system into thinking I was just adding a widget to a home screen, not the lock screen, I would have many more options as to what I can add. Not as concerned about the number of widgets allowed. I was able to do this on the note 2 with some mod, but I don't remember what it was called.

I wish I could be more helpful. I don't use HD widgets, so I can't test it and see what works. But from looking at the cloud.tv FAQ, it looks like you should be able to get other themes/packages working on the lockscreen. This is what it says:
I can only see the Glass Gems style widgets in my Widget menu. Where are the other themes?
New themes are installed automatically and available for you to use in the app as soon as you've downloaded them from the Play Store. However, you won’t see the new theme style widgets in your Widget menu. The Glass Gems style widget that you see in your widget menu are just examples for each of the widget sizes. Once you've selected a widget size, you’ll be able to switch between themes from inside the app.
How do I change themes after I've picked a widget size?
After you've selected a widget size, tap on the theme name in the top right corner of the configure screen and to reveal the drop down menu. Then tap the theme you'd like to use.
Select new widget themes from the drop down menu (See screenshot below)
Also,
How do I add & remove lock screen widgets?
Deleting lockscreen widgets is really easy. Simply long press on the widget and drag to Remove.
How you'll add lockscreen widgets will differ slightly depending on your device.
For non HTC and Samsung devices:
When viewing your lockscreen swipe left to right starting with the clock until you see the add (+) button.
For most Samsung devices including Galaxy S3 and S4:
First enable lockscreen widgets in your device Settings. Go to Settings, then Lock Screen and check the box to enable Multiple Widgets. Then, when viewing your lock screen, swipe left to right until you see the add (+) button.
Note: Samsung have disabled lock screen widgets with pin or password. If you are using a secure lock screen setting, you won’t be able to use lock screen widgets.
The last part is true only if you don't use the Xposed mod that I posted earlier.
So, it looks like even though you will only see the glass gems widgets, you can still select the different theme/package you want after you have selected the widget size. I hope that helps. And if you already know all this stuff then I apologize.
Is there any way to automatically HIDE the PIN screen? It cut off the widgets, like DashClock. I have to swipe down, look at the widget, then swipe up to bring the pin screen back.

No, not without disabling it. And for the former try xlocky plugin for xposed, that may allow to use the widgets you want
Anybody tried or has any recommendation for launchers for AT&T Note 4.
I need additional homescreens for my widgets and 2 docks for my most used icons. These can't be added to the Touchwiz.
I installed Nova launcher Prime version, got everything set, but guess what - the pin-to-homescreen capability of the action memos was lost. The pin icon on the action memo screen got removed. Initially I didn't know that it was because of the launcher, I called up samsung customer care and was with a guy with remote access to my note 4 for 2 hours, but eventually I had to do factory reset to get back that pin icon. Then I installed apps one by one and after each install I checked if the icon was there on the action memo and found the culprit to be nova launcher. Also, it does something that even after uninstalling this launcher, you don't get that icon back, so I had to do factory reset again.
Then I tried next launcher 3D (lite version), the pin icon got removed in this launcher also but luckily, it came back after I changed back my launcher to touchwiz.
Does this imply that I will have to stick to Touchwiz if I want to action memo pinning function?
I like the pin function, but I need more homescreens and 2 docks for my most used apps at the bottom of the screen. Please help !!
I stopped using s memo altogether. Use something like Google keep. Snote/smemo locks with samsung

I like how Google Keep can keep our data organized, however it doesn't work with thr note's spen. You can't take notes on Google Keep with our spen.

Exactly, and this is one of the best features of Note 4 - to pin action memo widgets. Hopefully, the Nova Launcher / Next Launcher will update soon to fix this issue.
Hi.
just got a new LG g3, ( auro 2Gb version).
and mostly it`s working really good. But comming from a old Note 2, i`m a little dissapointed in how "laggy" it is in some parts..
When i get the different apps up and running it`s seamless, and launching them is about the same speed as the old note 2.
Screen responce is also good,
But the problem is when exiting a app ( facebook,game,sms or any other app that stays open for more than 2 min. )
It seems like it is closing the "background" apps like widgets and the launcher in general, so when i exit, the launcher is empty for about 2-5 sec ( it acts just as when you restart your phone, it just takes a few sec for all apps\widgets to start)
this only happens if i`m using a app for a few min, if i just go into one and exit within a shirt time it acts normal. ( with my note 2, if i pressed the home butten, it was back into the launcher within 1 sec with the launcher screen fully populated. )
Is this something others are seeing to? I might not be used to the phone yet, but my old note 2 seems more "seamless" in user interface...= better software. )
up...
seeing it's the 2gb version it's mostly because of your other apps that run in the background and take up RAM, so the launcher has to be shut down everytime whenever the system feels like there isn't enough free RAM and decides to free some. afterwards (when you return to the homescreen) it restarts itself and it may take some time like a full restart as you mentioned because let's face it, it's not a fast launcher. the launcher is kind of a hog in my opinion. both RAM-wise and speedwise. I find that most of the people who are complaining about sluggishness use stock launcher. try using nova launcher (you can adjust it to shut off the screen on double tap with a small app called screen off and lock), it's much snappier and offers lots of extra customization options (like faster and/or different transition animations, different icon/homescreen row and column counts, label/icon changing, app hiding etc.), on top of it all it uses only about 1/3-4 amount of RAM compared to the stock launcher while allowing you to customize bunch of stuff. you can find also same-looking widgets if you use something like zooper widget, and get a g3 icon pack (there's a huge and good one in the playstore already) if you like the original looks like I do, but without all the lag and waiting.
Hello,
I correctly configured my phone to let some app being not optimised for battery saving. in each app, I can select if I want this app to be optimised for battery saving.
I did it for some app like synology drive.
I noticed that synology drive is inerrupted anyway when the phone has the screen off.
is it normal ? is there a way to have some app that are not shut down ? the problem is that these kind of app that are used for synchronization or file transfert must not be cut off when the screen is off because the transfert are interrupted.
Hello. If you are using MIUI then try this 1. open the app 2. touch recents 3. long press the app 4. touch the lock icon.
Thanks I did it, but I read that the lock is usefull only to keep the app running even if I close all app in the recents app. does it really have something to do with the OS stopping background apps ?
is miui known to be painfull and kill background apps ?
I have the solution : i must disable MIUI optimization.
from :
What is MIUI Optimization and should you turn it off? - xiaomiui
MIUI optimization is an option that helps to load the app and the app data in parallel to reduce load times and ensure a smooth user experience.
xiaomiui.net
extract : "Background apps cannot sync data."
tested with synology drive and it works, after disabling, my transferts works even when the phone has screen off.
I don't know how to close the thread and mark it as resolved. anyway someone has more news about MIUI optimization, it would be great, would it break something to disable it ?
