TouchWiz features

Hey guys,
I've seen a lot demo videos on sense UI and the vanilla android UI.
they've got nice features, like the twitter widget and the mac os like pinch-zoom on the homescreen @ sense UI.
Or the vanilla lockscreens with the ability to mute the phone without unlocking.
so how about a TouchWiz featurelist, here in this topic, where we summon all the features we discover.
Already known features:
unused homescreens can be deleted
apps can be shown in list-view and "iphone"-view

- Wifi,silent,vibration and bluetooth toggles in the notification area
- Uninstall applications just by tapping them on "edit mode"
- Docked icons on the homescreen
- A swipe to the right on a name in the phonebook will call the contact
- A swipe to the left on a name in the phonebook will start the new message interface

-Hold BACK and pres HOME key to make a screenshot

This sounds awesome!

Hey, I've just watched the Touch Wiz 3.0 demo
youtube.com/watch?v=qRM5bf35yqs&feature=related
and at 17 secs into the vid it states that you can toggle between widget and application menu by swiping the screen up and down.? can anybody confirm this?
And it also states that Touch Wiz has a smart task manager, can that also be confirmed? (1.06min into the vid)
Thx alot!

yes it can be configured ... you do not need to have empty ones if you don't wish to

Oh this is a nice feature:

nice seeing you here (apart from the forums.samsungi8910etc galaxy S discussion topic) ...
- In the video I posted above it lets you rotate Home screen which automatically shows all your windows and you can reorganize them and delete/add them. . . pretty cool

yeah, i just checked that on the samsung wave ... since it has touchwiz 3.0 too it has the same nice feature =)

Owners:
The calendar included with TouchWiz syncs with Google calendar or with Yahoo?
The video from Las Vegas presentation shows some Yahoo services, but I suppose it's also available for Google.

The screenshot feature stated in the beginning doesn't seem to work.

In the bottom left corner of confluence skin once you get into settings will show your "level" .
switch this to "expert".
Then switch language to german and it should look pretty much like photo.

1MobileMarket & Google Chrome launch in weird portrait mode?

So i've been reading that google chrome launches in portrait mode on the right side of screen. I can't see the close button to close and reopen it so that it launches in landscape mode. The same thing happens after I installed 1MobileMarket, launches sideways in portrait mode. Is there a setting on the fire tv to fix this problem?

Figured it out. It has to do with the screen settings, changed to 1080 P 60HZ and everything showed up fine.

Get this app if you want to force landscape mode...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=bong.android.androidlock
The only downside is when your Fire TV has been restarted manually or by a power surge/outage,you will have to select landscape again within the app to force it again.

Modules in XPosed that do it also, without having to redo it after reboots.

Where is that module?!
Please tell me.

Landscape Forcer is the name of it. Under downloads.
Just have to run it once to toggle it on.

I went into xposed framework and found the module. Forgive the newbie in me..but i see when i highlight it, it shows me support, source, and respository. I dont see an install button. How do you install this? I went back to xposed module and reinstalled it, but I dont think that did it. Will this change my 1Mobile Market to the correct landscape, because now all i see is it in portrait mode to the right of my 16:9 aspect 1080P TV?. Thanks for your help.

how did you change your screen setting??? mine are grayed out can't change...

What kind of TV and resolutions do you have?
I have a Polaroid with 1080P support and all is fine.
I can switch between 720p and 1080P.
There is no 1080i support,so crappy Sylvania TVs will only use 720p mode.
I also just tried the landscape module,but it just force closed kernel tuner when trying to view CPU settings.
The app I linked to does NOT cause it to force close and displays it in landscape properly.
I think it does not even need root either.
Too bad it does not keep settings on restart,I should ask for an update.

You need to use a mouse and slide the screen to the left, then there is a box that you need to check. Then after that you need to go to the modules part and click the box to turn it on, then reboot.

Android Oreo PIP mode not working?

I just updated to official 8.0 and I noticed that I can't get PIP to work by pressing the home key. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

I'm not having any luck with it either.

What are you guys testing on? Youtube? Do you guys have youtube red?

No luck here either....tried it on YouTube and Chrome.

It only works on YouTube Red or Google Music paid subscription. I have both and running pip with no issue.
Sent from my Pixel XL using XDA-Developers Legacy app

Works for me too. Read somewhere uninstall and reinstall might fix it too.

I can't seem to get it to work on my pixel either, updated to the official 8.0 today, can't see what I'm doing wrong, does it have to be enabled?

I wondering the same thing! I did a clean install of oreo so you can rule out any kind of bug from not doing a clean install and I have youtube red...

Pip is app related. So for now only as ppl mentioned above YouTube red(which is not available worldwide and also needs a paid subscription) and a few paid apps have the ability to work with it. Soon we will see more developers attaching pip mode in their apps, all we have to do is wait I guess

It works for me in Youtube (Red), Chrome Beta and whatsapp

It works just fine in chrome.
1. Launch Chrome app
2. Find a video to watch and tap on it so that it is playing in full-screen
3. Simply select the home button and the video player should shrink down in size
4. With the smaller player, you can move it around your display, play and pause the video, or tap on the headphones icon to have the video play in the background
5. At any time, you can select the smaller player and tap on the center icon to reopen the Chrome application
6. When you’re done watching, simply move the player to the bottom of the display and it will close

I don't think you need YouTube red to use PIP. I didn't have any issue in developer preview. If you look at my attachment, you can see that chrome and YouTube were given permission.

Yeah that seems ok. Your Android version is ready for pip but the apps yet are not ready to perform this way

I did a video call in Duo with DP4 and PiP worked without issue. I haven't had it work though with Youtube however I don't have Youtube Red.

Both PIP and Splitscreen work fine for me (I do not have YouTube Red).
I had been on the 8.0 beta for a while and remember reading a guide that showed us how to add the 4th (far left circled in red) button that acts as the PIP button. If I can find the write up again, ill link it.
EDIT:
This is how I got it, so might be a little different, but it works.
https://android.gadgethacks.com/how-to/enable-android-os-picture-picture-mode-right-now-0176848/

The navigation bar section in System UI Tuner was removed back in DP3. This method seems to still work https://www.xda-developers.com/desp...av-bar-lockscreen-in-android-o-dp3-heres-how/ to add a PiP button.

We should be able to use a built-in system feature without the need of a 3rd party application.

Took this from Android o introduction guide

I'm rooted and installed custom navigation bar per the link. If I go to add an extra right or left button, pip does not show up as an option. I'm on the official oreo release. How does this work? Thanks
Update - by following instructions here: https://android.gadgethacks.com/how-to/enable-android-os-picture-picture-mode-right-now-0176848/ was able to create an extra button for pip. Custom navigation bar pretty much provides the same functionality as the now missing sytem ui tuner. My issue now is that if I go to full screen the navigation bar is hidden, if I double tap to get them back then I'm out of full screen. This happens in Chrome using the desktop version of youtube. I still get a pip but it is of the whole chrome youtube page, not the youtube video.
Nevemind - still learning oreo. If in portrait mode with full screen, I can swipe right to left and get the nav buttons back, then I can use the extra button I created to do pip. Just discovered that the feature that hides the button is called "immersive" mode which I suppose is great if you want to watch videos or anything else full screen without the nav buttons showing.

Smart bulletin

Hi all,
When I first turned ON the phone, there was option to use LG smart bulletin or google now. Now, i don't have the option to chose google now/feed.
Can someone help ?
TIA

Press and hold anywhere on launcher select home screen settings then select left home screen then select none press ok.
Then do the same steps and select what you want then select ok it will close and now try swiping from the left. It should work.

This is my Home screen settings. There is no option to Select left home screen..
Thanks

[/QUOTE]Try another theme. I'm using the Android Pie Black theme.

Rooted one ? I don't even have that option earlier, it was there ...I didn't root/customize.

No I'm not rooted. What version is your LG?
From your photo smart bulletin looks disabled.
Enable it and see if the option to left swipe is there after closing and reopening home screen. Good luck

I have tried ur step. Didn't work for me

I am using UX 8 Black them (download on playstore) and I have the choice of nothing, google feed or smart bulleting in settings -> screen -> Home screen -> Right home screen.

So you enabled this? Needs to be green to be enabled.
