I have the new Turbo and was wondering how do I make the lock screen look like my old Droid 4? I can access 3 frequently used apps. See the attached picture. I've read through the manual looking for a way, but don't see how to do it. At the very least, I want to be able to add a shortcut to the camera app on it. Thanks.
3rd party app maybe

The Turbo is running a more pure version of Android and the lock screen doesn't contain the shortcuts found in older Moto phones. There should be a camera shortcut (or way to enable it) in the bottom right corner of the lock screen though. You can also do the twist gesture to launch the camera from the lock screen (or any app). That said, I'm almost certain that there are third party apps that will change your lock screen.

Here is a link to a great lock screen replacement called cover that gives you quick access to your most used apps. I haven't tried it with the Turbo yet, but I used to use it on my S4 and it worked great for quickly getting into apps.
You can scroll to the right to get to the camera from the lock screen. Besides the twisting motion as well.

I would like to use split screen multiwindow where one half of my screen is the phone app/incall screen and the other half of my screen is the calendar app.
When I grab the phone app in the multiwindow tray, I am told that the phone app only supports pop-up view.
I am rooted so Xposed or other root options are okay.
Thanks for the help.
MW Manager from the Play store. Enable in Xposed. Works for me. Enables multi window capability to any app.
Hi, I just switched from Samsung Galaxy S8 to Huawei P30 pro.
What I miss 'till now is:
1) HD calls (Vo LTE) are they available?
2) phone with caller ID and spam protection: what do you suggest?
3) swipe down to open notification bar (edge gesture just installed works fine)
4) home with drawer: in drawer I see icons ordered by name with vertical scrolling. No way to create folders, move icons and have pagination?
5) seems stupid but was very useful: in Galaxy you can use a tool to take a partial screenshot and keep it floating on the screen. Useful p.e. if you have to write down info from a business card you photographed.
1- working for me
2- depends on where u at, where i live i used true caller till it got blocked
3- install 3rd party launcher
4- same as 3
5- use your knuckles, youtube it to learn how it is done
Thanks.
About screenshots: I can take screenshots using knuckles, I can save a partial screenshot,but I can't make it floating in the screen. You know how to do that (tried to search with no success)
You can split the screen by drawing from left to right with a knuckle across the middle of the screen. Place the screenshot in one half and your app in the other.
Once you take the screenshot, just click the small image of it on the bottom left, it will display it full screen so you can view it, or edit it.
Thanks all, but this do not reply to my question.
If you ever tried galaxy screenshot floating function you should. It's very useful!

Hey, i did the same switch.
Which app do you use for swipe down for notifications?
Playstore link?
Thx in advance
This one is good: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.de_studio.recentappswitcher.trial
But finally I reintroduced the bottom bar with fourth button to show notifications
Emui is the best(for me) , just give it some time. Samsung experience is the reason I never go with galaxy devices(my wife has s9)
I installed Nova Launcher (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher) as soon as I set up my P30 Pro. It'll take care of your #3 and 4 concerns.
Hey guys. I have a Galaxy Tab S4 running OneUI on Pie. Rooted. Stock ROM. Samsung has an ability to launch apps in split screen and Pop up windows from recent apps switcher.. I was wondering if it would be possible to use tasker to create a shortcut to open app in pop up view.
Eg. Whenever tab is in landscape orientation, I could press on instagram icon and it would open in a pop up window rather than in portrait mode (I dont5wan5 to force landscape back it looks bad)
Thanks
The settings for it are not enough. How to make an app automatically open up on the dual screen even if the app is opened on the phone screen? When cycling through open apps in the recents list how to stop apps appearing on the phone screen which then gets pulled away from the dual screen? Essentially lock the app to only show on the dual screen? Also macrodroid doesnt seem to work with dual screen how to make it work?
I have not found a way to lock it but with macrodroid I set up a macro that takes a program to wide mode whenever I open the app.
In macrodroid set trigger for application launched (select application), set action to switch wide mode-turn on.
Separately I added a floating button that works on all apps, I just selected toggle rather than on for action
