Hello
I'm running Galaxy S i9000 with CM10.2. I have installed the stable version of the Google Chrome from Play Store.
The problem is that the tabs are not how they are normally found in other Android phones. They are bunch of rows. How to make the tabs appear normally?
With this tab layout I can't use the gestures to switch tabs.
The only extra feature I see is that there is an "undo" option whenever you close the tab.
I have attached the screenshot for reference. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

Looks like the next day AP in their blog post showed that they could make the tab layout as above with help for chrome://flags. The feature is called "Accessibility Tab Switcher". But this is only for Chrome Beta.
I'm forced into the accessibility tab switcher mode in the stable version of chrome too. And I cannot find any option of disable in flags.
Also I installed the Chrome Beta. But here too it looks like I'll be forced with accessibility tab switcher whether or not it's enabled in the flags.
Anyone here can please tell me if your device is also having the tab layout like mine in chrome?

I have the same problem on my Optimus 2X. Happened during the end-of-August update. My guess is that Google implemented this stupid restriction on phones with 512MB RAM since Chrome is a huge resource hog. Which is dumb, because this tab layout with lists doesn't have any performance improvements over the cards layout.

Well I got a Samsung Young Duos which is with 512MB RAM and it's got proper tab layout. Don't know what's going in here.

I don't know if you guys care anymore, but the newest version of Chrome Beta brought back the cards tab layout for me.
chrome 31 was released. doesnt matter if you have the flag enabled or disabled, it forces me into the accessibility tab switcher. any ideas? are you guys still having trouble on your sgs1? i wonder where i could get into contact with someone from google about it.

I have looked around to see if there were any other substantial methods to adjust the way memory was dealt with in the galaxy S. After using the phone throughout the day I do notice it bogging down to a crawl, even to open the messaging app. Now I did read in the development section about the recompiled libdvm.so for froyo. But I'm not getting ahead of myself since the file is still in testing. For immediate results I've been tinkering with Minfreemem.
If you don't know what it is, here's a run down by android central.
http://www.androidcentral.com/fine-tuning-minfree-settings-improving-androids-multi-tasking
It adjusts the way android allocates ram to specific applications running or in background. Now other forums have some information about settings and which is best, but I havent dug up much info for the galaxy. The app itself has presets and those work well. The only thing that bothers me is the presets are a bit outdated and not configured for any specific phone in mind. The screenshot below is just an example of default settings on a phone running HTC sense. My default settings running Quantium 2.7 rom was different.

}
After messing around for a while and looking up if anyone was using "similar apps" for the nexus S so i can test out their settings. I came only to some japanese site where the translation didnt work out very well...
So here is my settings I been using for an hour, notice the presets do show a lot of empty ram "96" to speed things up without bugging down. I believe that unused ram is wasted ram.
Foreground: 14
Visible: 28
Secondary: 32
Hidden: 32
Content provider: 64
Empty app: 32
with these settings I was able to toggle back and forth from apps without reloading. Especially the gallery, that tends to slow down quite often. Opening new apps was smooth and switching back to threads and contact lists were good as well.
I want to quote the article at android central
I want to stress -- there is nothing wrong with the way Android handles this out of the box. It's efficient, works well every time, and keeps things stable. It's our meddling and the need for instant gratification that is the real issue. Waiting .3 seconds longer never killed anyone. But I'm just as guilty as anyone else, and want immediate results too, so let's do it!
If you have anything to contribute thats "informational" please do.
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
Dear XDA fellows,
I have a pure S9 (SM-G960F) and recently installed the official One UI 2.0 update (G960FXXU7DTA3). The device has become progressively slow to the point where most operations, such as opening the camera, going home, switching an app etc. take 2-5 seconds each. I suspect that the problem is bad memory management as I constantly have only 700mb free (out of 4GB) and everything that is not immediately visualised now is killed in the background - even my home launcher and keyboard have to reload every time they are opened. I have attached a screenshot of the biggest ram utilisers:

Is anyone else having this issue? Are you having a mostly smooth experience with the newer update on the S9?
Yes, me too. I had to go back to Pie 9.0

I don't have any issues, my S9 feels a lot smoother than before with one ui 2.0.
And I didn't do a factory reset either, just wiped cache after updating.
Hi guys! I am using my phone with high performance mode enabled. I don't want to turn this off.
But because of this, a battery icon with speedometer is constantly visible in the notification bar.
How can I disable this?
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

You're welcome. It's a cool apk that uses almost no power.
This is one reason you buy Samsung, customization. Hundreds of free themes and icon packs too. The stock launcher is faster, more stable and efficient than any of the 3rd party ones... plus very customizable.
iPhones are such plain Jane's
Yes, you are right. Anyway, I solve most of the customization with gravitybox and firefds modules, since I have root.
A little plus information for EU users: The Good Luck app is not available in the Galaxy Store due to region restrictions.
If you still install the apk from elsewhere (eg. apkmirror), it will display an error message after start.
The solution: install a free vpn app (eg. protonvpn), remove the sim card from your phone, force shutdown and delete data + clear cache in the galaxy store app (+ and if you have already installed it in the Good Luck app), set up a vpn connection via wifi to make the connection target US.
Launch the Galaxy Store and now you can find Good Luck and use it!

Labs is not available anymore or just not for the Tab A. So can't even try this.
Is there any solution yet? My old mother uses the Samsung Galaxy 10.1 Tab tablet. She was confronted with the new feature a few days ago and asked me to undo this new look.
She complained about:
1. Not opening sent pictures in full screen anymore and
2. A keyboard which was opened at the right site screen which is now a lot smaller. My old dad has Parkinsons and even with a stylus pen it is difficult to type in the smaller spaces.
Is there any way to disabe this split-view function or go back to a previous version without it (as a second emergency option)?
Thanks in advance for any response

So the only way I got it to work is to go to settings -> screen zoom -> increase size. This will make everything else a bit big too, but it works.
My father is also suffering this annoying new feature... I hope that many other users are feeling the same so they let us select the view we want to use or anyone develops a solution
