Requests for Edge Hardware Mods

OK folks, here's where you can request for Edge Hardware Mods. Got team member @dsexton702 from Team Acid who will be working on some things for us. Leave any requests here for him and he'll try and work his magic.

You want the Butter Mod? How would you hold on to it?

a couple that come to mind right away would be to have the edge bring up apps for multi-screen, another would be jsut to have it bring up recents, then remap the recent button to menu.

would be great is somehow the edge screen could be on everytime the main screen is on, without any other user intervention..
thanks

I agree with this x100 for notifications. The whole swiping back and forth is stupid and cumbersome. I currently use an app called " no led" to show my notifications, but it would be awesome to have them just always scroll across the edge screen.

I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!!! Memories...

Personally the only mod I want is the return of Ambient Display.

Moved from S4 to S6 edge - love the device except for 3 things - no continuous scroll of pages / screens - no voice control for alarm clock / music and can't sort apps alphabetically - not sure if this is the right place to post this but worth a try - i am a major noob with android but is it possible to copy the code for these options from an s4 to s6 - another lower priority one would be glance view - i know they tried to cut bloatware from touchwiz but to me these were excellent features

Sort apps by tapping the A-Z button on top right in the App Drawer. The others I'll leave to people who know.

Beat me to it. As for the other thing like vioce controls, have you tried S Voice? That app is still on this device. I don't use it so I used Ti Backup to freeze. Might want to give that a try.
As for the other replies to this thread, we are looking for requests on the "Edge" part of this device. Let's try to stay on topic please. That's includung my fellow Team Members. BTW, good to see you around @bhundven

There is no abc on the top right in the app drawer only edit to remove apps - as for svoice it is pretty limited on control and won't control alarms - sorry for being off topic

If this is not what you see, then you must be using a different launcher. That's what is there for stock TW launcher.

Are you sure you're using the S6 Edge? Your Screen Resolution doesn't even look right. Take a screenshot of the "About device" of your phone. Something seems a little off there.

I resized the image for upload - did some searching and it looks like i am not alone

Ah, so you're using an International device. That would explain a lot. Anyway, let's try to stay on topic here. This thread is for requests on the "Edge" hardware function of this device. Trying to see what we can actually do with the "edge" technology.
Actually, I have one request which @dsexton702 already knows about, but just to give you all an idea of what this thread is for. Edge on both sides at the same time with different functions on each side instead of just using one side at a time.

Hardware huh... LEDs!!!!!!!!

LG G4 thoughts

So I'm making the move going from the Nexus 6 to another phone, possibly the G4 or IPhone 6. The issues I had with Nexus 6 plagued me on multiple N6 devices. Like calls freezing on "Hanging up..." while ending a call that never goes through and the ! issue. This is the big issue. The ! prevents any mobile data, text messaging and phone calls, usually until the device reboots.
So, I'm on T-Mobile, any helpful links or advice on this phone? What's the screen size difference between the N6 and the G4? At first I loved the N6 screen size, but after owning the N6 since December, I find it cumbersome and difficult to use one handed.

Uh, Google? http://www.ubergizmo.com/products/lang/en_us/devices/lg-g4,nexus-6/

I've been on that website comparing the phones. But I'm more interested in reviews written by legitimate G4 users.

I hate that the notifations are not expandable.. Why would LG remove this from the status bar.

Oh, the drop-down notifications are not on this device? So if I get an email, I can't swipe the shade down for a quick view of emails?

After you pull down the shade entirely, shift the screen upwards to the point where it hides the wifi, bt, airplane mode etc etc settings. Try expanding the notification again.

Screen Issue

Hi Guyz. I find some spots on the screen when on max brightness. Can you please try the below and let me know if you face the same.
navigate to messages or contacts -> pull down the notif bar and turn to full brightness -> Do you see any spot like thing below the brightness toggle on the white screen of messages or contacts?
navigate to messages or contacts -> pull down the notif bar and turn to full brightness -> Pull down to expand the notif bar -> Do you see any distortion kind of thing above the navigation bar?
Attached images. Zoom and see it.

Nothing to worry about. That's normal.

That's fine, maybe there's something in the background (when openning chrome for example) when you pull down the notification bar it gets blurred

Getting blurred is different. but its some kind of getting distorted. You can see on the keypad as well. Do you guys also have similar issue?

Ah, I see what you meant.
No I don't face similar issue

Missing LED - kinda replacement

Hello folks
I am terribly missing notification LED. AOD ( Samsung ) is not for me. I do not want to see clock constantly or upon screentouch.
I found an app which in some way is substitute ( for me )
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tomer.alwayson&hl=en
App is highly customisable.
It uses AOD technology
You can make clock and the rest invisible so the screen is dark.
When notification arrives and you miss it there a pretty big icon appears on the screen ( size and brightness customisable ) and is moving around.
Maybe you will like it.

The AOD is not only just a "clock" it has more customizable options and you can make it exactly like the app you suggested does. Check your settings.

I did. I want only information about new messages - no clock all the time. I could not find a way to disable clock. ( in original Samsung AOD app )

You do know that you can apply AOD themes from the Galaxy Store, right? You can choose one with a minimal clock or even choose to apply the theme without the clock.

Couldn't find. I do not want: clock, cats, dogs and all that crap. I want only messages notifications. Can you point me ?

One workaround I can suggest is using the inbuilt theme that supports GIF and using a black image instead of a GIF.
However, you will still get a digital clock and battery percentage in addition to the notifications. If I come across a better theme, I will update it here.

There is an app for blinking AOD dot where You can define their position and "fatness"... But i can't remember app name

try AOE

There is NoLED apk LINK to download latest version v6.0.20 (it's a liitle older apk but working like a charm).
I am settled up for a white dot for all notifications and not for coloured icon...
Try it and enjoy!

It works as designed, but I think it needs a redesign

Always on display still times out after 5 minutes. It should stay on until the watch runs out of power or i turn the option off.

"Always On Display" is the dimmed / alternative face (depending on which face you're using) that comes on after your normal screen has timed out.

Hmm i did not interpret it that way. Thanks.

There are certain watch faces that can show the whole watch after dim.
But amoled screen has issue with burn in. So not recommended

Yes indeed there are. I make mine like that. And if it's white face, I find they go too dim you can't even tell the time so I've started making inverted colours for dim mode. Whole face, but opposite colours. Problem is though that dim is still, well, dim. If you wanted to show off your beautiful face you spent hours scripting on, you can't unless you don't use wrist gesture
