[Tutorial] Galaxy S6/Edge AMOLED Battery Saving - Galaxy S6 Themes and Apps

How to improve your AMOLED device battery life with few tricks
I don't want to make this "theme" your daily driver, but sometimes it can be useful to have a little more battery without the Samsung's deep battery saving feature.
So when you know a long day is waiting for you this may be the perfect solution.
First of all the old and gold black wallpaper for both the homescreen and the lockscreen

Second you may download Nova launcher and apply the Min icon pack
Min icon pack:

Try this new Icon Pack, even better!

Nova Launcher:

At this point you can even stop making changes to your device, but, if you want even more battery saving i suggest you:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=screen.dimmer.pixelfilter&hl=it
This app switch of your pixel in a pattern based on your will to save battery, it's totally free, and can also switch pixels in the same pattern to swith on and off to prevent having the same pixel on all the time to prevent burning the AMOLED display

Or you could just disable VoLTE and the Google App.

I've been very busy with my android desktop and was a big rush to get my supplies LauncherAdvanced, unique thread of my development HERE
I would like to clarify that I have compiled this launcher for a long time, then the android trendy JB was 4.2, I had to make some optimizations so that it can get better at 4.4 and 5.1 (maybe in the future 6.0).
The purpose of the launcher is the same as I always have in mind, do not like and have never liked large packages and applications do not like too much RAM consumption, thinking that I developed this launcher, it is a typical size coming from ADW sources @AnderWeb (Thanks).
Their characteristics are very clear, see below:
Desktop settings
Set icons and wallpaper
Set style dock bar
You can set colors and transparencies in the apps grid
you can create folders and name them
Speed to open the apps grid
Animations, themes etc ..
You can also back up and restore it if you want to save your settings
Known bugs:
At the moment he does not have a transparent status bar (I will fix this)
By using wallpaper is a blur in the dock bar (only the launcher wallpapers, you can use other without problems)
Some other?
It is fully in the development of state and I will appreciate if you understand java and can help me with corrections, so I'll leave my sources available on GitHub
DOWNLOAD HERE
To install:
Download the latest launcher
Pass to your SD
Install usually how to install an apk SD
enjoy
Hi dev I'm using this launcher from past 3 days, really I'm loving it.
I got every thing which I want like ,
It's light weight.
Smooth
I can set it to full screen by hiding status bar.
Specially the short cut icon sick at the bottom ( I really loved the concept).
But after using it I felt like I'm using kitkat launcher in my One plus one (5.1 lollipop).
And their is no smooth scrolling.
Their is a problem with animation.
I'm not getting the widgets properly like my cm weather widget unable to display weather only time and date .
Each icon using more space then the actual size.
I'm unable to increase the size of icons .
Old type widget and shortcut section menu etc .
But I'm still using it coz I'm loving it.
Hope you ll update it soon with latest standards.
Thank you dev

Looking for a MIUI / Xiaomi theme like

Hello,
Im a new Z3c owner.
As far as I understood, I should keep the offical xperia rom (updated to android 6) if I want to keep the full potential of this phone.
Especialy regarding Camera quality, right ?
So, what would you recommand in order to get a Xiomi / Miui / iOS like theme ?
In order to :
- remove the app folder button
- have better app icons than xperia ones..
Thanks for you help
Hopefully this may help you. I use nova launcher for the exact same look you want to achieve. And the most consistent icon pack that works for me is pop ui. Once you select the icon pack in nova launcher, the icons will replace the old ones, however you can then change whichever icons that don't suit your look with other alternatives in the pack. Both are paid apps but serve their purpose really well. You can get the free version of nova launcher but you will sacrifice certain things like changing icon size and icon notification badges. You will need the teslaunread app as well to get the badge notifications. If you want an exact clone of ios you can download png icon packs from deviant art and replicate the status bar with an xposed module called Flat Style Bar Indicators. But all that will probably turn you into an obsessive ios freak lol, plus it requires too much time and effort. I love the freedom of android but I love the look of ios, so I manage to get the best of both on my z3 compact.

*edit* as far as the app drawer goes, you have 3 options... 1) You could just remove it and forget about all the apps you don't use. 2) you could just change the app drawer icon to a folder icon and just think of it as a folder which houses all of your unnecessary apps. 3) nova launcher 5 Beta allows you to access the app drawer by swiping up from the dock.
Hope this helps.

Try these free ones instead - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74009537&postcount=107
* advantages
- overlay and not a seperate app
- no extra battery drain
- the image works and moves with the official samsung AOD app

Sounds good.
Thank you.

Issue dixed in current update.
Works as described on Note 8 unrooted. However , i noticed that I lost the ability to use the clock widget. I can't swipe to see the other pages in the widget and interact with it. So I can't click next song for example when playing music.
This is the case even with pratial images (not full screen one's). As if im only clicking/interacting with the image overlay. Is this the case with everyone else?
Any fix? Does it work normally on rooted devices? How do I fox it pls ><
A little expensive the full pack... how many images can personalize? 1 or more?
It seems that there is no more support...
Nice app, but the paid options are way overpriced in my oppinion.
Paid user. Worked perfectly on my note 8. But now using a s10+, Nadroid 9.0 Pi.
The AOD images goes off often and aren't consistent. Only the images within the a few mm of the clock (box range) remains. While the rest reappearing sometimes only and on interactions.
Pls advice

Galaxy Store, Good Lock family of apps, Quickstar. Clean up that horrible bright white too.

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!

Question Changed Samsung for Motorola/Google, worst choice ever, reasons!

First of all, I will say that Google is the most arrogant/ignorant company that I've ever heard of. There are milions of complaints regarding the "NavBar stupid/sht pill"/StatusBar. Why, the hell would I invest in a phone with good screen to body ratio and dpi, if I cant take full advantage of it. Before Android 12/13, you could easily remove statusbar/navbar(pill) the way you wanted. But, Google decided they are the boss and removed all those possibilities to remove those via adb. Another thing, if I try to use a custom gesture app, I can only use the diagonal gestures because the normal ones(left,right) cannot be overriden because Google never allowed that. How shty can a company be to not even care of their users and even do everything against them, really!!
Another thing, is that I still dont have Android 13 on my Moto Edge 30 Ultra while I got bored of it when having S20 Ultra! And another thing is that touching the screen doesnt always wakes it up. Maybe is some sort of measure from Motorola to conserve battery because I dont find them capable of doing something good as Samsung did. Is anyone else experiencing/experienced this?
As I said, on my S20 Ultra I could do all the things, apps like System UI Tuner, cmd commands and gesture, everything worked flawlessly such that I always had a FULL immersive experience. After I changed the company, everything is havoc! Google, shame on you!
If you guys emphatize with how I feel, please thumbs up! Take care!
Look how ugly it looks like. 3 years later and will be in the same situation if we rely on these thieves!!

1. I can hide my navigation bar via Settings

2. No issue with tapping the display to wake up screen. Btw, it's not double tap but single tap.
3. I LOVE the new Motorola homescreen especially the new Motorola widget. Everything is there - the battery widget, alarm widget, weather and clock in one. Very consistent, minimal and uncluttered. Good job, Moto!
