So I'm tinkering with my D855 and searching the best ways to get the most out of it.
Now I'm a bit disappointed in the recent apps panel LG provided, it isn't natural and often awkward to use when switching fast between apps...
My question is if I can change this to another layout like the AOSP one ore so and how to do it.
Any tips or tricks?

Hello guys,
i'm here to find the service behind the quickcircle case, I want to know wich app activate it or manage it.
I changed the resolution of my G3 and the quick circle is quite messed up. i'd like to add the app in the App Setting so it can look as usual.
So can anybody help me out?

i tried these 2 but it didn't do it.. thanks for the help
Very intersted in the lower resolution option to save battery. would you post back your findings if you can get the majority of the LG apps to work? namely the Quick Circle case app, and the messaging app that you have to use with it, to see your mesages.
Well for the resolution i put 1080x1920 with 480 dpi with Nomone
After that installed xposed with App Setting and change the dpi of the lg app (like phone, message, etc.) to 530, which is the minimum for the lg app.
Also, you should change the launcher for the Nova launcher
For the quick circle im still trying to figure out wich service/app it is running
The game poppy pop is working great even with the lower resolution.

You ever find out the answer to this question? Or anyone else know?

Yeah sort of, but it's a bit disapointing. I found out that the quickcircle is actually implemented in the launcher or something like that like suljo said, making it very hard to get to change its resolution. I eventually got a new phone and stop looking into that.
Hello. I just received the 8.4 as a present. Is there a way to enlarge the overall font? I know in settings/display /font size but that doesn't do it on the apps. I'm not rooted so the apps that offer dpi changes won't help me. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

Hi, thank you for your response. I've tried that but for some type of small difference on apps (Tapatalk included) I have to set it to extra large with makes system font huge and at times cut of. Ive had the s3, note 3, note 8, and s5 and changing system font works, looks better in all apps on those but for what ever reason on this tab, app font is tiny.

Hi,
First, if this is not the right forum to post this, excuse me.
Now the question, I just received my new S20 + and so far I love everything about the phone, you know it comes from an S7 until it gives up. The problem I have is that, on my previous phone (S7), I was able to changed the font size of my clok, Wi-Fi, LTG antenna symbol and the battery charge percentage indicator, in my new s20 + I can't find where to do this is no option, I spend a whole day, searching on Google looking for a answer that can help resize my icon's in the top bar to make them larger, the actual size is so small that I have to put glasses to see it. Do you guys have any solution to this or help?
Thanks in advance.

Oh OK lol. Only option then is screen space zoom in display settings or dpi setting in dev options
It won't change that much but you can play around and see.
Same problem. So small that it hardy can be seen. No option to make it wider or biger

I have called "Samsung care", and they told me that, they do not have any solution as right now. They did recognized and mentioned to me that, the preview version had the option to resize font, but for some reason, it was removed from the new version..... go and figure that one out smh..
yeah.. samsung tends to remove features they "think" people do not use.
For me, i still miss the good old samsung camera on the S7 and my note 8 before the oreo update.. where u can zoom in or zoom out by pressing and holding the shutter button (the white circle), and drag it upwards (to zoom in) and drag in downwards to zoom out.
i have no idea why they removed it.. i loved it as i can zoom in or out using only one hand.. new camera app i need to use one hand to hold, another hand to pinch the screen to zoom in..
not to mention some old samsung apps that is very useful, like the snapbizcard.. snap a business card and everything is saved into your contacts, automatically. it was super useful. i tried to transfer the apk from my samsung note 8 to the s20, but the app crashed everytime i want to take a photo of a namecard.
Go to developer setting and change dpi to higher value

What do you mean "android 10" ? all galaxy s20 are android 10 ! it is the same as screen zoom , higher value give you smaller status bar . i can get 480 but it dose not make any different .
That's weird....i have screen zoom set to lowest and text size to second to lowest and icons are not small at all....check my screenshot
I am trying to make regular icons smaller....they are still to big even with 5x6

Hi have you tried Super statusbar in the playstore? Had same problem as you and found this to do the trick
Hey now, just was wondering if there was a way to enable dark mode throughout all my apps while using a theme? I've been interested in android customization for years but am still un educated on it all. I don't have root on my note10+, is there a way to do this without it? Thanks all
I'm running Pie with night mode always on.
Works pretty well.
Stock Samsungs especially the 10+ are very customizable. The Good Lock family of apps.
Hundreds of free icon packs and themes.
No 3rd party launcher needed nor desirable.
Pick theme/icon pack, set background wallpaper, done.
I'm using one of the high contrast themes. Stock icon pack from Galaxy store. Quickstar customizing the pulldown menu.
I wanted to have dark mode enabled due to it effecting a lot of apps interfaces but can't seem to have it enabled along with a theme at the same time. Is there a way around it?

As I described above. It doesn't work in some apps like gmail but works in Brave, Samsung browser and in most of the Samsung system apps. Pick the theme that has the desired colors for phone, keyboard etc.
It takes a few hours to sort through the many icon packs but you'll find free ones you will like.
The basic high contrast theme works best for me. Use One Handed Operation Plus for side switches.
From Playstore:
I use the apps Color wallpaper and Color Wallpaper to generate custom backgrounds for homepage, and additional pages. Digi Clock widget allows you to make customized clock faces, colors, sizes, etc. Low battery usage.
Includes 4 custom assignable switch quadrants.
Samsung's are the most customizable stock Androids on the planets.
It ain't no lame homely plain Jane iPhone

Why u didn't use Samsung Theme Park? With that app you can change the whole Android Theme. You must install Goodlock to use this.

Care to share what you defined for your swipes in those 4 handles of One-Handed Operation?

It will go up to 6 handles. If you want though you can enter up to 36 separate switches
Long/short stroke doubles the number. Enabling this makes it more problematic to use though so it best the keep it simple.
The power window is one, navigation commands come in real handy, and a couple apps. I copy some commands to more than one handle. Depending on the position of the handle some of the swipe positions are awkward and best not used. I need to spend some time with the settings/apps and optimize it proper.
My Digi Clock widget also has a set of quad touch switches I use constantly.
Hiding in plain sight
Right, 36 switches, that's a lot.
What's the exact name, is it 'Digi Clock Widget'? It allows switches too? Thanks!
This widget is so cool. Any colors, fonts you want. Allows for 100% seamless backup, works with SmartSwitch too. Low battery use. Rock solid.
One of my favorite apps.
Not sure, but I noticed it's very similar to the one I'm using: Digital Clock and Weather Widget, and it's much cheaper. Don't know yet though, if there's much/significant difference.

It's the free version. No ads on mine are showing. I can block ads anyway if needed.
It has my 4 most used apps linked to it, no wasted space.

Can you share your tool(s) for ads blocking too? I'm not rooted though. One UI has improved a lot in past years that I never had the need to root. Thanks.

Karma Firewall, sorry.
However in Android 10 and above it's valuable logging feature is disabled. Gookill big sister Android sucks...
Works perfectly in Pie and under (before Gookill completely Appled out).

The Adguard works best for app ads on the phone. Brave picks off a lot too but Adguard seems to be getting some. It will block some sites and occasionally slow loading down but generally runs smoothly as is.
Loading the Adguard app probably make it much more functional. Just not on the front burner...
YT is a menace... I tend to limit it's use because of that.
