The blue control circle on browser

As many of you know when you turn on the labs function in the browser you can activate many menus by using the blue circle on the side of the screen. On my galaxy tablet there are many more options on the blue circle however on my galaxy nexus there are very few options on the blue circle. Does anyone know how to get all of the options on the cellphone similar to the tablet?

Most Custom ROMs can Now change your Lock screen pictures.
Have you tried just Custom ROMs?

Yes I'm running CM10.1 and see no option in lock screen settings. Any suggestions to another room that has this?

I believe Xylon, JellyBeer, AOKP have working options. I would look into Xylon and JellyBeer. These are my 2 preferred. Both Highly customizable.

I found that maybe your perfect match would be Xylon. Has Lock Screen Transparency, Custom Wallpaper Setting for Lock Screen. All working. Tested myself.
Good Luck!

with widgetlocker you can set your own picture. but with both lockscreen apps the softkeys stay visable and can unlock the lockscreen
hope to see a solution for this in near future
Am running xylon and using active lockscreen .also have my pictures in the lockscreen

You can hide the softkeys......on widgetlocker easily.
Go into advanced settings and then under root helper.

Locking widget's position

So I just got a pixel 2 xl and I've been customizing my home screen to my liking. I'm added a widget to my home screen, but every time I touch it to refresh it, it wants to move it or change it's size. Anyone know how to fix this?
You should you're not long pressing the widget?

Absolutely sure, just the quickest tap will act as a long press and make it want to change its position or resize it.
What widget are you using? Pixel Launcher right?

Yes, just stock Pixel launcher. I'm trying to use my bank widget just to see/update my current balance.
It's probably that app widget in particular. I just added a wdiget with a refresh button and it worked just fine. You have another widget to add and test? If so and it works fine, contact the app developer for your bank app.

it seems like its only a couple widgets that do the same.
Try them with Nova launcher...
You might want to change your "Touch & hold delay" setting. You can find this in the Accessibility section in Settings. It has 3 options; short, medium, long. Maybe changing yours to long may help....
Hope this helps...

There HAS to be a portrait lighting camera app, right???

The Pixel 3 can do automatic background blur (portrait mode) and automatic color pop. Why is there not an app yet to just black out the background like on iPhone?
