As per title, is there a file/setting we can adjust to get rotation to work in home screens and app drawer? I had this working with some custom roms and it's a nice feature actually. Now I'm back to stock 5.0.1 so I am missing it. I don't want to flash a custom rom as they usually break screen-casting to CC (infamous green screen). Most threads I've come across only adress the auto-rotation option and how to enable it. Any suggestions?
There is a build.prop addition need to enable this and lock screen rotation. It's here somewhere, I will see if I can find it but it is hard to do on the phone.

There are rooted stock ROMs that work fine. I use Clean ROM and everything works perfect. That being said, using Nova launcher allows these features, even if unrooted.

That worked like a charm! Well, I had to download "Build prop editor" because for some reason I couldn't properly save build.prop using Root Explorer but once I got to edit it it worked perfectly, home screen, app drawer and even lock-screen. :good:
Didn't want an extra app running in the bckground just for something you can achieve by adding 2 lines.
I know I've talked about this before, but I'm wondering if people have any suggestions.
I'm looking for a lockscreen replacement that will allow me to use my own image as wallpaper. Ideally it will also have lollipop features (I quite like the stock lockscreen, but it would be so much better if I could put my own pic there rather than having it be my homescreen wallpaper).
I've tried AcDisplay - You have the option of homescreen or grey. Otherwise I like it.
HiLocker - Selected image is zoomed WAY in for some reason which results in a pixelated image (even at 2K+ resolution).
Widget Locker - no longer supported.
I've emailed the devs on both AcDisplay and HiLocker, but never heard anything back.
I'd be just fine with keeping the stock lockscreen if I could figure out how to set a different wallpaper for it. Does anyone know if this is possible? Barring this, does anyone know of a good lockscreen replacement that would do what I want?
Xposed with Gravity box is what you need.
It will not have the security flaws that most lockscreen replacements have, and you can change the background.

Find the app in your app manager and untick the show notifications box.

That's if you want to keep using the app. If not, use titanium backup to remove it completely. However, unchecking the box may keep it from running properly at times, but that would be a very rare thing if it breaks it at all.

I actually figured it out right after typing that reply. Untick show current conditions in the notification settings for the app. Now I can actually see the picture of my kids when I have no other notifications.

Just got the note 8 yesterday and been messing around with it. I'm coming from the Note4 with Note7 software. I think I have a pretty decent setup. I'm taking advantage of the always on screen. I use it like a lock screen. So I disabled the lock screen. I long-press the home screen to unlock the phone its pretty awesome. Or double tap the notifications to go directly to them, without swiping again.
I wanted to create this discussion so ppl can share their shortcuts and little efficiencies so everybody can enjoy them.

Update: So I lied I assumed there would be notifications on the AOD screen with the lockscreen off but unfortunately there are no more notifications on AOD without the lock screen that's silly
Update, Update: there is a setting in the display>navigation bar settings that bypasses the lock screen on a long press!!!

I like it a lot but in my opinion the curve screen does not improve anything and is unnecessary, it just looks good. Typing on it takes getting used to. The q & p keys are on the edge and it's a little weird to press them and long press them.
The phone was super hard to handle with one hand without the Samsung military grade rugged case. It's a long phone. With the case it's thicker and more manageable. Having the case on it also makes it harder to touch the edge of the screen by accident when using one hand.
Really not a fan of the curve screen as you can see lol. But other than that the phone is perfect.
I wish they had an option to disable the edges or something.
You planning on getting it?

I ordered one because I had the Note 7 and they offered the discount. It’s supposed to be delivered 9/12 and I was using the S8 Plus at one point. The Note 7 was the first time I used the pen extensively, so I wanted to try it again.

Click on recent button, long press the app of choice, and drag it in the pop-up window square to make the app a pop up window quickly. Or you can enable the multi-window setting to diagonal swipe from the top right of the screen to make the app a pop up window.
In the sound settings you can choose apps to default to a specific output channel. I find this useful for using Google maps while playing music. I have maps defaulting to phones speakers. I think it is working lol but it still lowers the music volume when maps is talking. It doesn't seem to blast the annoying gps voice over my music that I was playing loud.[emoji108]

Sweet ! Have fun ! It's such a dope phone. I think the new UI hit the sweet spot. I'm not sure what the S8 is like but I assume it is very similar. The navigation bar looks sick. The toggles have no text [emoji7]. Ahhh it's the little things in life lol
Also I'm looking into trying this very soon to make the nav bar always black

So far loving the note 8. But one thing I hate and don't see how to change. When i start and app that is inside a folder when that app ends it goes back to that folder. Would rather the folder closes and i go back to hone. Any thoughts

That's a feature that was available via the much more feature-rich Action Memo that was included with S Note on pre-N7 models. So while it's a new feature from the perspective that it's a new app, it's a crappy app in comparison.

I didn't have the Note 7, only the S8+, but I do not recall if this feature (below) was on the S8+ or a previous device.
While in the app drawer, and I scrolled up to the top of the list, I then swipe within the drawer downward (but not from the top) and a popup comes up showing me a list of apps that were are frequently used, recently used and those that were new/updated. Pretty cool.
I had a note 7 last year and I am coming from a s7 edge so I'm sure I have some new things to learn as well
Hey I have a question for the Note 8 owners here. I read earlier last week that you could touch and swipe left/right the home button when its hidden to go back / activate recent, and then regular force touch to go home. Is this a legit gesture, or is there an app that can enable such a thing?
I would absolutely love if I could ditch the nav bar entirely and get DAT space.

Np happy to help!
Also!!
"Nav bar Apps" in the play store let's you apply a static color to your nav bar in every app! There is a flash of white when it launches an app where it is supposed to be white but I dont mind that. It looks like the app can do other things but I just wanted to make it black at all times! Exactly what I wanted.
If you go into the settings you can change the color change animation to fade. That is the smoothest animation with barely any white flash.
Alsoo
My OP setup is obsolete!!! There is a setting in in the display>navigation bar settings. See picture

Substratum with the paid samsung addon works with the paid swift dark and black themes. Got Maps, YouTube, gmail, Instagram, Google Play, Chrome themed successfully. Not sure what else it can do I gotta play. I also was able to use "status bar icons for samsung" free app from the playstore to change the nav bar icons but I'm in love with the stock nav bar black all the time. I reverted.

This works. Followed the directions. I changed my nav bar to all black on all apps with adb. Make sure you uncheck "apply current theme" in the nav bar settings within the display settings.
Not my work, just sharing it here for good vibes - https://www.xda-developers.com/download-samsung-experience-10-launcher/
That's awesome. I can't wait to see the auto light /dark mode in action
Finally, the empty space where the icon labels and the nav bar hide...IS NOT space anymore. This and the unscrollable wallpaper on the homescreen were the only two eye poppers i always had in the new TW (weirdly, bot used to be hidden mods)
Well done Sammy, i even think they are using the boards here for feedback, sneaky bastards.
PS, dont forget to make the new launcher as default, or else it will crash and notify about some java thing.

You probably just set the old one as default again. Clear the launcher default settings (not the cache/data) and try again, i've already got it on on an S7E, S8, and S8+ phones. It should work as the leak itself comes from a Snapdragon variant dump, just like yours.

No it's exactly the same as 9 minus the settings. And I could not get it to stop crashing on my note 8 n950u with 8.0 crc2 build.
Ok it worked fine just not a lot of changes to me.
HOW TO UNINSTALL
I had to open the launcher settings and then go to the About section to get to the app options. Then I set Nova as the launcher and it lets me uninstall the version 10.
Thanks bro
Work perfectly
For my SM-N950F/DS
On this version I have no app icon notifications. Everything else is good.
Running on Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 stock.
Hello, I have a couple of questions. I'm using the X2 Pro completely stock on c25 rom.
1. When I try to activate split screen in the settings it gives me a failed toast notification saying "This function is not available in the current mode". What could that mean and how to fix it?
2. Could you make off screen music control gestures work with poweramp?
3. Is there a way to completely remove the VPN notification? Or at least remove it so the icon is not showing on the always on display (which is distracting since I'm expecting regular notifications there)?
4. Is it possible to move the status bar clock to the right and/or add seconds to it (tried with SystemUI Tuner app and didn't work)?
I know this is a lot of questions at once but I guess it would be helpful for everyone.
Thank you in advance.

Well the launcher issue has been fixed. Now all I want to know if there's a workaround to making off screen music control gestured function in music players besides the stock one.

A year later... Has anyone found a workaround to enable these screen-off gestures for music control on third party apps?
