ICS - my wishes for next updates

Yet some might say root or use diff launcher or..., I hope this might be considered in next ICS updates:
Launcher: ability to hide app icons in drawer if I want to.
Data usage: ability to prevent app from using wifi beside mobile data foreground & background if needed (firewall).
Gallery editor: frames effects.
Email (not Gmail): more refresh options such as every 2 hours & from time to time....

Only one atm : Reduce lag in scrolling on some occasions

1) Reboot option when holding the power on/off button
2) Easier way to mass text people
3) Ability mass select individual text messages (in each thread) and then delete them
4) Better stats on what is using the battery
5) When saving panoramic phots, do it quicker and don't delete the picture if the phone locks before the picture is saved

Increased video recording frame rate and enhanced stabilization, reboot option, faster unlock time from the lockscreen to the camera app, enhanced UI responsiveness, built in memo app and voice recorder app, photo editing app kinda like the one on the GS2 and battery saving tweaks

Make the back button relevant when multitasking. Right now, if I hit back after switching from one app to another, I go to the home screen instead back to the previous app.

Customizable lockscreen is mine

Got one more: Swipe Left to REALLY close app in recent app view and swipe right to just get it out of recent app view

Configurable notification LED -> colour and frequency.
Force ISO setting in the camera app, also adjustable JPEG compression.

Fix multi touch issues, Fix video codec play back issues. Can't think of any more will edit once I can.

the gallery should be able to open jpg files that are in a .nomedia directory and go to previous or next pic like it where a normal picture...
this worked that way on old android version
since ICS if i open a picture in filemanager that is in a .nomedia directory, the galery does not known how to open it...
its ok that it is not shown in the gallery app by default, but if i open it from filemanager it should open ...

Mine would be sort the browser out :
Permanent desktop option ( like browser+ has)
Smoother scrolling
Rewrap text as an option
And i hate the way when tap in and then out it has rerender it , kida reminds me of checkers
Still think its the best browser iv used but fixing these is a must

I'd like to see a higher res and flash for the front camera.

Consistent ui!

We do have a photo editor, and for a note taking option, press the microphone button in the search bar and say "note to self" then speak your message.

I'm talking about more features added onto the photo editing options we already have and not talking about voice memos that translate into text I'm talking about a notepad and a voice recorder to save voice memos

*full manual camera setting ISO , shutter speed, manual focus.

[Q] What is the fastest way to take photos?

Hello, very often when I see interesting things, I take out my phone, enter the four digit passcodes, then go to different screens to find the camera icon. Then, I finally found and waited long enough for the camera app to be active, interesting things have already been passed. What is the fastest way to launch the Camera app? Thanks.

i use an app called home2shortcut, which allows you to set the home button and the soft key presses and combination of presses to whatever you want. I have the home button set that one click brings me home, 2 clicks opens a voice dialer. home and then menu opens a app called rotation locker which brings up a small window and i can choose portrait or landscape and finally home and then back brings up camera. so no matter where i am i can always bring up camera quick. In addition do what the other guy said above and add the camera app to the lockscreen so you can slide up from it and it will open camera.

hold down the capture button for burst mode

Remove your lock; with swype lockscreen there is an option to where if you hold the lockscreen and then turn your phone to landscape it automatically unlocks the phone and opens the camera

I love you. More than you shall ever know.
my bad, misunderstood, there is also a camera shortcut on the N2 lockscreen that launches straight into the camera. and many other app lockscreens that provide similar functions; widgetlocker, active s lock screen.

On Android 4.2, you can set the camera as a lock screen widget. Wake up the screen with the power or home key, and swipe to the camera. Takes less than 5 seconds from pressing a button to taking a photo. Any photos previously taken are cannot be viewed unless the pin/password is entered, so security is maintained, even with a camera widget.
Any ROM running 4.2 will work, or you can wait a little longer until the official 4.2 build from Samsung comes out. Should be soon.

There is some app called 'quick camera' it's quite fast but it all really depends on your phone rom version and the software and hardware of your phone

How can I remove the weather widget?

It's very annoying Pixel launcher forced to put the stupid weather widget. The data is not accurate and not update. I have a very good local weather app with accurate data and forecast.

You can't unless you use a different launcher like Nova

Later version of Pixel launcher may fix that???

Disable weather cards in google now.

I think it's as simple as disabling location, refreshing the Google now cards and rebooting.

You can disable location and get rid of the weather, that is true. It will however, leave a date widget in its place
Sent from my Pixel XL using XDA-Developers mobile app

My initial challenge was how to turn it on once I had my Pixel (thus Pixel Launcher). I went through a variety of procedures via discussion groups, and it finally worked when I enabled "Location" in the "Permissions" of the Pixel Launcher app in the Android app settings. Thus, when I wanted to disable it, I turned that permission off, and just in case, also went to Google app's hamburger menu--> customize--> Everything else and selected "no" for the three weather update options, themselves hard to figure out how they differ. This will also disable the weather widget inside of the google app, which is equally useless as the one on the homescreen (they are linked) as it requires manually updating. However, before you eliminate that widget in the Google app, tap it to open it up into a search window view, then tap its 3 dot menu (on right) and select the option to put a weather icon on the home screen. This icon (not an app in the app drawer, oddly) can only be created here, and opens up to a really cool Google weather app, which, upon tapping that home screen icon, will always be updated! ....
Last thing: whenever you make these sorts of changed to system functions, at least on Android 7.x, changes will often require a restart!

Yeah because you want to lose full functionality of device location just to get rid of the weather widget. /s

Another (maybe simpler) solution is to downgrade to the first version of pixel launcher. It's on apkmirror and it doesn't have the weather widget. You'll lose the swipe up anywhere to apps thought... But works fine!

This is what it looks like:

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

How to access IR Camera OxygenOS 12 [OB1]

Well, it seems we actually can access the infrared camera. You can get into engineering more (less features)
1. Dial *#899#
2. Go to manual test
3. Swipe over to camera
4. Select test camera
5. Switch to the 4th camera with the button in the right hand bottom corner.
6 Enjoy

I was wrong you totally can record and such. You just need to use camera test from the same section and you can switch to the 4th camera. So I edited the post.

Anyone know of a way to access the file so we can program an app to open that camera?

This app called "Activity manager". Requires root. There's an activity, I don't remember the name exactly as I have since rolled back to o2OS11. Something like factorymode.manualcameratest. You can create a shortcut to that activity on homescreen.
