Hi guys
I just got my first Android phone and I'm exploring everything, but I have some question about some stuff I encountered.
A) When I change the volume in the menu's, I change the volume of the ringtone.
Is it possible to just change the "general" volume like when you can do in an app?
B) Will the new 4.2.2 update have the option to have some toggles (wifi/bluetooth/location/...) in the notificationcenter.
If no, is it possible in another way?
C) When I lock my phone when the camera app is open and I the device is locked. When I press the powerbutton the camera app shows up from itself. That's without my sliding the "key icon" on the lockscreen.
Is this normal: yes/no?
D) Is it possible to change the raster layout from the homescreens from 4 icons (width) to something more? (Maybe 5 icons on 1 row).
E) What app should I use to watch movies (downloaded/converted)?
I can't find a stock app for that and I don't find what I seek in the Playstore
F) If I make a shortcut from a folder with apps to my home screen and I add some apps in the main menu (same folder), why doesn't my folder on the home screen get updated?
I guess that's it for the moment.
It would be awesome if you would answer some questions (not all!).
Thanks, really!
Matt

b) I believe so yes, they certainly are there on ARHD 11.0...you could aways try Power Toggles from the Play store...I found it really useful when I ran stock 4.1.2
c) yes, that's normal...HTC call it Tourist Mode or something like that
A) Nope, just change it in Settings or in an app like you say
B) Yes, it does. Using it now
C) Yeah that's so you can snap fast photos
D) Yeah, there is a mod for this (root only)
E) MX Player is pretty good
Thanks guys! I really appreciate it.
And would you know how the tweak is called to change the raster size?

A) If you want to change other volumes instead of only ringtone, press the settings button on the right of the ringtone slider, shown below:

you can try a launcher from the play store like nova launcher or go launcher to change the number of dock apps

Should work on ALL AOSP based Eclair roms
** ROOT IS REQUIRED **
This is a simple application that allows you to use the menu key to unlock the phone from the lockscreen rather than sliding the tab.
Simply run the app, enable the option, and then press menu to unlock the phone when you're on the lockscreen.
Tested on the Nexus One, Droid, and the G1. (All were running 5.0.x)
If you want to support me, scan the QR code and buy it from the market, but otherwise simply download the attached APK. I'm releasing it for free on XDA because this is my 'home' community and I'm loyal to my roots. (Please don't mirror the APK anywhere else)
I'm cross-posting this from the Nexus One subforum because of all the questions in #cyanogenmod about menu unlock
wait what? i can unlock from the lockscreen by pressing menu and i never installed this app......in fact i would prefer if it didnt
i too would prefer that it didnt unlock with the menu key. been trying to find a way to not have this happen.. interesting app though haha. i didnt know there was a phone that did not unlock with the menu key. from dream to magic and various roms this was the case.
This is for the latest CM5.0.7-test2 D/S where Menu to Unlock is disabled by default.

And my not But I want it back, so maybe I will install this apk.
I find this utility very usefull i have tried in 2.1 and 2.2 Froyo and works perfect - I hate the Slider screen to unlock - this is a real life saver.
I have a small request - is it possible to we can add an option in this app to assign the Camera button to pick up calls along with this - it would make it perfect !
Or if it can be made into a separate app like this - small and focused app.
I wouldnt mind paying for the option if needed !
Please?
Doesn't work in Gingerbread. Does this functionality depend on the kernel to support it ?
I'm using an AT&T Note 3 with DashClock installed for my lock screen.
When coming back to my phone my lockscreen shows something like this.

}
In order to get more information I have to manually drag the widget to make it bigger every time. After I drag it down or scroll to a new screen and back it shows up like this:
From this screen I'm able to just tap the notification and load the corresponding app. I am used to this functionality from my previous iphones. Is there any way to automatically load the widget as it appears in the 2nd pic above?
Thanks.
It looks like this is a feature in Android.
"People...Built by design, stock 4.2.X has the 'main' lock screen widget shrunk so that you have full access to the lockscreen slider right away after unlocking. You'll need a non-stock/custom ROM (AOKP/CM) that has such option built into it, allowing for main lockscreen to be expanded as soon as the phone is unlocked. This isn't an 'app' issue/fix but stock ROM related. "

Xposed has a maximize widget module for this. That is if you are rooted.

Let me explain my problem... I love to use on-screen soft key instead of capacitive keys on my Galaxy S6... But when I try to use Camera app the UI of the app (buttons) is under lapped to the Soft key (back, home, multitasking buttons)... So is there any way the UI of camera app can be fixed while using soft key on Galaxy S6...? Smart Manager app has same problem...
Please see attached screenshot...

Did you try clearing the camera app cache and data see if that helps? its not suppose to be like that in your screenshot.
As I mentioned in the the 'multidpi system app mod thread' where you also posted this question this is a result of the dirty multi-dpi fix... The apk has it's dimension values set to absolute pixels instead of dp... As a result it doesn't take into account the actual displayable view, but just stretches across the entire screen.
So this isn't going to work with the multidpi versions, an earlier mod where dp values where changed also didn't work so I have no idea how to fix this for now... Only solution if you wish to use softkey is to use standard dpi of 640 and the unmodded stock apks.
*EDIT*
By the way, as you posted this in the modded apk thread I assumed you are sing these... But as I haven't done anything to the smart manager I am starting to doubt that. If that isn't the case you can forget my remark (Still no clue though, apart from the fact that Samsung seems to suck at making these apps scale properly)
I've ran into a problem on 5.1.1 (just updated) with navbar. The themes won't work! When trying to apply a theme it says that I have to remove "keyboard cover". Is the a service we can disable to make themes work again with navbar? Any ideas? There were no issues with 5.0.2

Did you ever want to enjoy Youtube Videos with screen Off to save your battery?
With Screen Off Keep Playing, now, you can!
_______________________________________________________________
Works very good with Amoled Screens!
Due to Android limits isn't possible to turn off completely the screen but on Amoled Screen Black = No Battery Drain!
On LCD the black screen with the lowest brightness will help a lot to save your battery anyway.
_______________________________________________________________
When you launch "Screen Off Keep Playing" the App will ask for some permission. After that, you can launch the service and the App will wait in background until you decide to run it.
Long press and release the Volume Up Button and the screen will become black, showing the logo for 10 seconds. After that the logo will disappear and the brightness set to the lower value.
Example:
- Start a Youtube playlist, long click on volume up button and the screen will go black while your video is playing! If you need the screen on again just long press the volume up button again!
_______________________________________________________________
Remember: This app works over any other apps, so not only Youtube with screen off but every app!
IMPORTANT: This App works with a key event filter so can't be used with other apps that use the same permission like, for example, any button remap app.
PRO version without ADS and more features will come in the next days!
Amazing work dude ! Gonna try this out! Thanks and keep it up!

Anybody knows how to turn on Auto Arrange app icons on the Asus Zenfone 8? ... it's so basic already years and i was looking anywhere and couldn't find how to make it auto arrange the apps icons / shortcuts on home screen and other "pages"... i mean that e.g. if i delete some app or it's shortcut, it's automaticall move all the other apps to take it's place... just keeping it in order... very basic and therefore odd it's no where 2B found easily...
Also for moving the app pages from one place to another, like if you want the apps to be right before or after some widget... it's very frustrating.. in Android 10 i think it was by marking some app (With V) on the edit page mode, so the bottom horizontal ribon of pages shown, then simply long tap and drag and drop the entire page to where you want.. but non of this here... it's very frustrating so any help would be very much appreciated here...
Thatks all ahead and have a nice day..
Unfortunately I don't have an answer for your question. Personally I don't have this problem, since I use just 5 folders to store my most used apps by category.
May it give you some insight in how to rearrange your phone in to a tighty experience.

An folder is created by dropping two apps on-top of each other.
Cheers.
Edit: I should probably rename this folder to something like Daily
