anyone?

I asked the same question about the Alarm icon in the status bar about 2 hours ago and it is already scrolled to the 2nd page so it doesn't look good for this.

Check out an app called GMD Immersive in the Play Store. It lets you hide the nav bar, or both nav and status bars.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmd.immersive&hl=en

thanks ill give it a try, i really want to keep the n6 but i can already see the things that will burn in really quickly and im pretty ocd, would do my head in.

yep it does work, next thing is the google search bar, spure white will burn in quick, getting rid of that just leaves the wall paper really.

[Q] Couple of ViperOne questions

Hey, just have a couple questions about things I can't seem to figure out.
Am running 2.1.0 now, and when I pull down the notification bar, whether I have notifications or not, it is coming up with the full page of toggles instead of the notification bar with the weather/horizontal scrolling toggles etc. How do I change this back? It never used to default to that.
And secondly, in the same notification window, how do I bring the cpu readings back?

Long press on the date I think to get the notification bar back.
Tweaks, Status Bar, Header to get to Info Bar settings
Yeah I've been trying the last 2 days. I am stumped.

Legend. Thank you!
Actually, wait. The info bar one worked. The notification wasn't quite what I was after. When I pull down the notification bar it's defaulting to the whole wrong page. The large toggle page instead of the notification window.

I'm glad the info bar worked! There's so many tweaks in the rom its hard to find them lol.
Yeah, I'm getting the feeling the pull down defaulting to the wrong page is a bug, a few people in the thread have reported it. Been playing with it, and it's hit or miss for me what happens when I pull down the screen, it's annoying. The devs will fix it, for now I turned off the large toggle page
You can change everything in venom tweaks
Hard to find is right! Glad to hear I'm not the only one with the issue, I searched through the thread for ages before posting, but it's just as hard to find anything in there...
Didn't know you could turn the big toggles off, I never use them so will do so now! Mine is also hit and miss when it happens it seems. Thanks again for your help.

Glad to help you get it sorted. I wasn't sure if you could turn the big toggles page off either (they're called quick settings), but there is an option under the Statusbar tab in Venom Tweaks to turn them off, so I did, never really used them anyways. The Extended Quick Settings and the CPU info still show up on the notification screen, so I'm good.
Let me know if you need anymore help, you can always pm me if needed

Notification Icons on Lollipop

This may not be possible but I figured that I'd ask anyway. Is there any way to get the notification icons that pop up on the status bar to be more like the KitKat icons? I've got some notifications that show up as a plain white square on my status bar ever since I upgraded to Lollipop a few months ago.
Let me give you an example of couple that I'm running into. I have the NASCAR Mobile app on my phone. I also have the 14News app (local news) on my phone. Anytime I get notifications from either of these apps, I get a plain white square on my status bar and I have to take the time out and look and see what it is. I'm wondering if it is something in the Motorola settings that I'm missing because I am also running Lollipop on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 (8") tablet and I don't have these issues on that device at all.
Any help that can be given to me on this would definitely be greatly appreciated.

do you have greenify? sometimes the system will lump those together if they've gone inactive for awhile and are greenified.

I've never had Greenify on my Moto X at all. These apps that I was talking about are apps that I use and get notifications from several times per week and I'd like to be able to tell at a glance which app is giving me the notification on my phone.
By the way, I've marked both apps as priority and I still get the plain white squares on these app notifications.

then perhaps it's due to too many notifications (sometimes from the same app). I noticed that on some apps like fb. on other apps like scrabble, there is a number embedded on the notification icon.
i believe there is a setting to tell whether or not to group them together or not.
There isn't anything like that on my status bar at all.
Are you asking if its possible to change the notification icon style on Lollipop to that of KitKat/Jellybean then yes its possible with the use of some Xposed mods. If the notification icons themselves appear distorted due to some reason then I'm afraid there is something wrong with the apps perhaps. A screenshot or two would have been really helpful in getting a better understanding of your issue here.
If you're asking about notification ticker, there's a module for Xposed by the name of 'Enable Notification Ticker'. I have it installed myself.

One UI(Samsung UX) Discussion

Samsung's new interface is astonishingly smooth. At first I thought it was just going to be another sluggish UI just like TouchWiz but I have to admit I was wrong. I was planning on junking my Unlocked S9 since it was a slow sluggish mess for a Pixel. I installed the S9 Pie + OneUI beta on release day and been using it since. I can not get the UI to hiccup at all no matter how much I try. After reading about Samsung UX it appears that they got some help from Google to enhance it's interface and it definitely paid off.
Memory management is still absurd for a phone with 4GB of memory. I switch beta HTC, Samsung and Google designed phones and always found myself back to HTC's Sense UI.

Hi, could you share an dump for all the apps from pie?
I love the new Ui UX too. And the little things are really great ~ like the clock icon changes to reflect the actual time!!

One thing I don't really like about the OneUI:
Bluetooth and Alarm icons don't show in your status bar anymore. They only show up when you pull down the notification shade (Samsung responded to my feedback and confirmed this is to keep the status bar "clean")

Yeah, it's annoying having to do an extra step just to see if I've set my alarm for work.
Another thing I don't like is the fact they've removed the battery saving option from location settings (but this is a Google change not Samsung)

I have alarm set for the same time monday to friday, but I have random days off work and don't always remember if I've turned it off/on. Having the icon in the bar acted as a prompt for me. Now I have to unlock my phone and pull the notification down to check.
It's not the end of the world, but it is an extra step for me

I agree. I registered it as a bug only to discover later that it was a feature. In some regards I like it. But I feel it should be a customizable feature.

Awesome. Plenty of people had mentioned the missing icons in the feedback in the Members app. Samsung genuinely listened to the feedback!
'Close all apps' also now works with 3rd party launchers in the latest beta
The battery is awesome i am getting about 4-5 screen on time!
its butter smooth, rather on oreo i was getting max of 2 screen on time! and it was laggy and freeze
Ive an issue. Since updating to this, my phone won't see any SSID's, at all, none. It just spins and scanning.

Can you share this feedback for me to Samsung please... im on beta 3 build december patch on Android pie 9 but i have seen that they havent fixed a bug that still persist since beta 1 was released. When you pull down notification shade and Open a new incoming message or music app even though is in memory it last like 2 second to open.. that delay is not present in oreo roms and its kind of annoying.. can you please share this feedback to program beta.. I appreciate your help. I dont know if its a bug or windows animation but dont like a bit!!!
Not to happy of the "cards" layout i settings, any way to get the old looks again?
Thread cleaned.
Keep this thread on topic and avoid drama or childish comments.
Does anyone know where they have moved the icon framing option? Or if it's been removed entirely, I can't remember where I found it on Oreo, and I can't find it at all on Pie.

Don't know about stock, but Nova Launcher has that option
It was about perfect for me running CRLB on the S9 except 5G wifi didn't work. Unfortunately that's a deal breaker right now. Is there a website that states what's new in these updates?

Received Tmo Note9 Pie Update - How do I fix clock position?

I've been out of the loop for a while, and don't know all the ins and outs of Pie, but I was excited to see it was coming out and couldn't wait for it...until i woke up yesterday morning and found out that my Tmo Note 9 had installed something called a One UI Update and there was a notification in the upper-left corner that wouldn't go away. I realized it was the clock position, no moved away from the right corner.
Is there any way to move the clock back to the right side so it doesn't look like a perma-notification? Something that doesn't require root?
I've done some quick searches and some results are for the pixel or require root. Another possible solution was to use something called substratum(?) but that still might require root? Other places just said to file a bug report with google, but I doubt that would do anything.
Anyway, if anyone knows how to move the clock, back to where it's been for as long as I can remember, I'd appreciate it.

It shouldn't show just a notification...it shows the actual clock in the status bar.
Also possible with (Samsung) Good Lock and Quick Panel star app

What I mean is that for years, notifications have always been in upper left by default (at least to my knowledge). So when I first looked at my screen, granted I had just woke up and my eyes were still a little fuzzy, it looked like a notification. Then I realized it was the clock.

Ok, now I understand. I thought you meant it was just showing a notification, no clock.
Yeah, this has been discussed many times here in several Pie threads. This isn't a Samsung or One UI thing. It's a change Google implemented in Pie. Theory is, it is to account for notches, an for hole punch displays...like the S10/+ which has the hole on the right.
I never thought it would be this controversial of a change, and I imagine Google didn't either. I've been truly surprised at how many people hate it, LOL. Took me about 30 seconds to adjust to it, and I havent thought about it since. I guess to me it made sense, because in prior versions of Android, when you pulled the notification shade down, the clock moved over to the left anyway. Now it doesn't move.
Thanks for the suggestions for UI Tuner and and Sammy Good Lock; I'll give those a try.
Vote for good lock.
Wanted to report back that over the weekend I installed Good Lock.
Also, as a side note, I live really close to the manager of one of the Tmo stores in town and we chat in passing while walking our dogs every so often. Over the weekend we met each other on one such doggy walk and he had the exact same question for me that I asked here. Apparently he had quite a few people call or come in asking him the same thing too! I pointed him to the Good Lock app and showed him what it did for me. We're all happy campers now!
Appreciate the help, thanks!
Can I use SystemUI Tuner to add seconds to the stock clock?
I tried via the System UI Demo shortcut method and that didn't work. It's not a big deal I just like having the seconds up there as well. Also, will using SystemUI Tuner interfere with Good Lock in anyway?

Navigation bar glitch (solved)

Hi,
I acquired a brand new Samsung Galaxy S20FE last week and updated it to Android 12 with OneUI 4.1, unfortunately I can't seem to remove this thing appearing on top of the navigation bar.
I tried to change the navigation bar to swipe gestures and it stays more or less in the same place. I also tried to disable the side menu and to change the launcher to Nova and pretty much explored all the settings without success, which let me believe that it is a glitch.
Could somebody tell me how I may be able to remove this please?
Thanks a lot!
maybe it's indicator for which homescreen you're on ??
if it is you can turn that off.

Unfortunately it is not, there is another indicator for the homescreen page that shows up on top of the dock icons. It tried to put only one page on the homescreen as I figured it would be an indicator and it was still there.
When I reboot the phone, this little thing does not appear right away, it comes up after a couple minutes using the phone, if it helps finding the source of the problem.
Factory reset?

it looks like it a cut off transparent toast message but those shouldn't hang around. when you switch to gesture navigation is it the same amount of it that you see ?
it kinda looks like the navigation bar is on top of it obscuring most of it.
