hidden features and problems with official nougat nougat update - Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers

I recently came to know that there are some hidden features in the official rom. One of them is cpu overclocking available in accessibility.
This overclocks the cpu to 2.3 ghz from 2.15 ghz but just for a while, but you can do it again also through the floating translucent icon on the screen. This boosts the speed of the device for a while.
The problem that i face is that i cannot turn on the on-screen button of hide them. Means if i used them before updating the devices, now i cant hide them and vice versa.
See the screen shots of the overclocking available.

The diff in antutu score can be seen

power toggles works great except for 2 things...

1. No way to set the brightness to 0%.. why won't it go below 10%?
2. GPS toggle brings up location services menu instead of actually toggling the GPS on.
Anyone have a solution to either?
You can always use an app to get those toggles or just wait for the custom ROMS.

Correct me if I'm wrong but 0% means no brightness at all......
So how the hell are u gonna bring it back up when u can't see a thing?

Not sure if it's zero but installed power widget goes much darker than power toggle does
Make power toggles a system app with titanium backup, then pressing the gps icon will turn it on rather than take you to the location access screen.

Just move /data/app/com.painless.pc-1.apk to /system/app/com.painless.pc-1.apk , chmod 644 /system/app/com.painless.pc-1.apk and reboot.
Need root
Thanks!
I would VERY much like to have no icon rather an an invisible one. The blank space seems off. Any possible edits there?
There has to be a way to get rid of the icon. In the description of the app, he mentioned that it can't because of the api but extended controls removes it from notification but when you enable notification controls, a widget is still left on the screen. Which this one has an option to remove that.

The GPS thing is general. After 3.0 update no app is allowed to change GPS state so you need a work around. Tasker can't change GPS states either. Either do it manually, or install secure settings. Needs root.

Yes ofc as u can see in the screenshot there is a huge space between the battery status and the message notification. That is because of power toggles. I choose transparent but the space is still there, how do I move that space? The creator of the app said it cant be done but I am quite sure someone has done it before...so please help me out

has nothing to do with gps mate
fyi an update a few weeks back fixed the GPS on/off location services bug.
still no way to set the minimum brightness below 10 however.
i have to go into the brightness settings and manually move it lower if i want the screen to be dimmer.
that still bugs me.

Setting the notification priority to 1 instead of 5 and restarting the app removes the icon. The toggles can't be pinned to top however.

[Edge Feeds] Many battery and system feeds

Having a S6 Edge since its launch I decided to take advantage of the edge screen with all the existing notification packs I developed for my apps (3C Toolbox and co).
This allows displaying all kind of battery and system information on the edge screen optionally with a graph, including battery mA, mV, %, temperature, CPU temperature, load, frequency as well as memory and network loads.
1- Download the main app
To take advantage of those, you will need to install one of the following apps:
- 3C Toolbox to display any information
- System Tuner to display only system information
- Battery Monitor Widget to display battery information
https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=3c
2- Download individual packs
Then, you will have to download the individual pack (from app settings, notifications, notifications packs).
3- Activate individual packs
Simply go to Samsung edge screen feed configuration and enable the desired feed.
4 - Configure packs to your liking
Each pack can be configured to display a graph or not, graphic colors and its background are configurable as well.
Some system packs allows settings special alert too based on thresholds.
You can also choose whether to show the information in the notification area, with or without the icon in the status bar, or only in the edge screen.
You can find attached a few samples of how it will look like.
If you have special queries or any issues, please let me know here.
Awesome!!!
Looks very cool, just bought the 3c toolbox app, so many configurations(Which is great)
Whenever i check the "Only edge-screen feed" checkbox it's only applied for that 1 notification, i think it'd be better if it was applied to the same button under all notifications.

Thanks for your support much appreciated.
That's a little tricky as packs do not share their settings.
However, if you have received udpate 1.3.5 of the toolbox, you can simply go to the edge screen feeds configuration and add the feeds there. If the selected feeds are not in the toolbox config, those will be directly added as 'feed-only', which avoids having to select that particular option.

I see now that i wrote that poorly. I meant the checkbox that comes up after i check "Only edge-screeen feed".
The checkbox that explains "Don't forget to enable feed in Samsung edge screen configuration". When i check "Do not ask again", it only remember not to ask for this specific notification, whereas it would be better if it didn't explain when you check "Only edge-screen feed" for all packages. But it's no big deal just a very minor inconvenience, and would be avoided with the method you explained. great application, works very well!
@3c just bought the full version and works great on the S6 Edge International SM-G925F. ... what an app, does everything except make coffee.....nice !
Where's the link to get the app??

@azz72 , Read the first post.
@3c, awesome app man! Looks really feature-full. I was wondering though . . any chance to change the way we get the edge notifications? Can we triple tap the edge instead of swiping finger?

Thanks. Actually swiping will require a custom kernel/ROM feature for that. The API for feeds is very limited: update them is all I can do about it, everything else is controlled by the OS.

do u need the Pro version to try the edge feeds?

But the feed text needs to get down on the edge screen, it's way up now.

It's currently set at the top of the screen so that if you enable the historical graph it will on top of it. I'll have to customize the display to center the text when no graph is displayed. Will do so soon.

From app settings: open the app, if using the default tabbed main screen, in the middle tab, tap 'notifications', then notification packs, it will open the download screen automatically. If using the advanced main screen, tap the settings button (bottom right) and then tap notifications, then notification packs.

You missed step #1, download one of the 3 apps mentiond in OP, then in any of those 3 apps settings you can download the packs.

All packs have been updated to position the text closer to the actual edge of the screen. You can update them from the download section, already installed packs will have a circle arrow you can tap to update them.

Just open the security app > battery > app battery saver > then disable the optimization for your widget app!
Then you may have to open the widget app then click hkme, then view the recent apps, drag the widget app down, then at the top click the lock icon
That should be fine now!

Thanks,
Honestly, I'd suggest turning off the app battery saving entirely. I did that recently and I discovered that not only did all of my notifications and other background updating apps now work perfectly, the battery life on my phone got better if anything - it certainly didn't get worse, at any rate.

Navigation buttons anyway to swap them around ? and make them appear or disappear ?

All my recent phones have been Oneplus phones (5 and a 5T) and there is always an option to change the order of the recent and back buttons, I tend to prefer them the opposite way round .....but usually not an issue to change, but I cannot find any button switching on the recent and back buttons.
Also is there a option to make the recent and back buttons just drop off the screen when surfing , on the 5T you can assign a gesture so just flick up from the bottom of the screen and the buttons appear, which is really useful when reading a website as it gives you more screen to view rather than losing a centimetre from the bottom of the screen.....but once again I cannot find such an option.....anyone know how or if this can be set ?
Other than those and the battery percentage not showing ( I just use an app instead and turn the battery icon off) I am enjoying the phone, but those two fairly minor things would be nice to work out...
Probably you need root to do this on stock Android (there is already a pre-patched Magisk boot.img for the A2L). Then an app or a (still non-existent) Magisk module will do the trick.

Not yet, but as I said above, if you search in the development section (very easy, there is only one thread at the moment) there is a user that posted a modified boot image that includes Magisk.
If you flash that image via fastboot and then install the Magisk manager apk, you'll be ok (there is a link to a guide in the same post with the boot image).
u can use xda navigation gusture..

HI , The only issue with the link is that it explains for rooted then has a link for non-rooted which takes you take a page of 24 pages full of different hacks that do not seem to explain how to do this for non-rooted phones.
Do you have a direct link to the non-rooted method please.

for the guys who don´t know if you press the settings button on the navigation bar bar about 10 sec ( keep doing until a new option appears on system menu) called interface tuning or similar that you can tweak the status bar
You can use "custom navigation bar", using adb instead of root.
this is not true. if it is true, show us.

not navigation bar.
yes i can confirm that pressing the settings button on the notification shades for a few second make system UI tuner to appear on settings above developer settings. and it's only purpose is for hiding some statusbar icons.

Works as described.

Keep open in background

Is there a way to have this support more than 3 apps? It's ridiculous there's a limit with the amount of ram on this phone
That's a GREAT question, and I'd love to know the answer too. I haven't found one yet though. RAM isn't an issue on this phone. Maybe they worry too many locked in memory will affect battery life too much?
Where did you learn this is the limit? I've gone days without opening an app before and when I go back to it it's right where I left off.
You could perhaps go to the battery saving menu and disable the battery saving for any apps you want to remain running. This may cause some serious background battery usage though, but It may be worth trying out. Also, try running the high performance mode. I've run that mode a lot and never noticed it causing much battery drain over the standard optimised mode.
Coming from Oneplus and using it for a long time I can tell you, the Note 10+ is probably one of the best multitasking phones I've used (including Note 9). Chrome on this hardly ever closes in the background and find it always running and available with all the tabs open. Oneplus phones can hardly keep anything in memory / background loaded for more than 5 mins but but Oneplus phones feel sooooo much more responsive and snappy comparatively otherwise.
The default for background apps is set to, "standard." Which allows more than 3 background apps.
Go into Device Care - > Battery - > App power management
Some apps may have been automatically added to sleep or deep sleep.
You can add or remove apps as needed.

After you add three to "Keep open for quick launching" the option becomes greyed out.
You're right, it's generally not an issue where apps get closed down in the background anyway, but I normally have 4 or 5 that I always wanted 'pinned' to my recents list. Not a big deal, I just found the limit strange, given the phone's capabiities and hardware.

How do you get " keep open for quick launching “ , I only get lock app instead , I'm running one ui 2.1 june security patch ” picture attached ”
Anyway you can bypass this using good lock app from galaxy store and use the module multistar and toggle on ”long live apps”

I'm also on One UI 2.1, June security patch. Screenshot of my menu option is attached. Maybe it's different between countries/regions/models? Mine is the Canadian N975W.
Edit: attachments aren't working, here's a link to the screenshot: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AqdgaMVMg2EMirgLXMqey1V1d0Gsdg?e=RGdVeX
I have three settings :
Put apps to sleep
Put apps to deep sleep
Apps that are not put to sleep.
I can add as many as i want in here.
There's an option to Goodlock's Task Changer to keep an app open which is a setting you don't have anywhere else in the system.
But i don't have that long live app in Multistar on my end.
Sorry for digging this up but do all of your apps appear in the "Apps that never sleep" list of apps?
I'm missing quite a few of my apps, aProfiles and Philips Hue for a start...
Anyone has noticed that before? Thnx
