Fullscreen lock screen post marshmellow - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, since the marshmallow update, my pattern lock condenses to the bottom left/right quarter or the screen, which, with my giant sausage thumbs, is far too small to accurately input my pattern. Does anyone know of a way to make it full screen again, or is there a setting I'm just too blind to see?

It's a setting. Go to Settings --> Advanced Features --> One-handed operation and the bottom toggle needs to be off. At least that's how it works on my Sprint Note 5

You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.

Lock Screen Ophone on G1

My question is simple :
Is it possible porting lock screen ophone on g1. for compete iphone.
Look those images please:
Please tell me something
A little more interesting is the floating "O" on the standby screen. According to the description, docking the "O" onto the ring in the static bar below will activate the software. This could mean some sort of locking interface that Apple disengages with a horizontal swipe.

Screen Sensitivity - Drag vs. Tap

Is there anyway to tweak the touchscreen sensitivity? In other words, a lot of the time the Nook is interpreting a tap as a drag. When I tap an app on the home screen to launch it, the screen moves and bounces back as if I tried to swipe to another home screen.
I would like to set the minimum distance for a drag/swipe to greater than it is now.
Have not see a way to adjust the sensitivity ... that being said, many have reported the screen sensitivity is greatly affected by 'residue' on the screen (i.e. skin oils, moisture, etc) and have seen lots of benefit from a screen protector .. this has helped lots for me but especially the edge areas of the screen remain darn sensitive.
There is an adb method on the dev wiki that helped me a bit. I haven't figured out copy/paste on this thing yet, but a google search for "nook devs recalibrate screen" should get you there.

I don't think this will work on setting a minimum movement like you mentioned, but there is a howto on nookdevs about tweaking the touchscreen sensitivity.

Multiple screens with no scrolling

Hi everyone! How can I make three screens with no scrolling, that is I can't swipe between screens but can select the screen by pinching in and selecting the screen. I need this because I am trying to make a screen where it has shortcuts to go to the next screen. So I want to restrict swiping between screens and only use those shortcuts. Any help is greatly appreciated.:laugh:
Use SSlaucher

Try SSlauncher.
I had exactly what you described on my Galaxy S in it worked perfectly. My screens were set up similar to an old telephone address book. On the right hand side of every one of the 9 screens I had were the numbers 1-9. I was the "home" screen. Under the numbers, that went from the bottom to the top of the screen were short description on what was of that screen. Things like "Home", "Office", "Daily", "Games", "Photo"
It was a joy to use and looked very cool with a smooth transition from screen to screen called "Flow".
One of the nicest things -apart from not having to swipe all the time- was that from the "Home" screen to screen 9 did not mean that 8 other screens had to fly past. The next screed regardless of the number always appeared to be the next screen!
SSlauncher also allows you to switch of "swiping" and even have a different background on each screen.
One warning. Do not be put off buy the developers terrible examples on the Play Store or the learning curve. Go to www.mycolorscreen.? for inspiration.
Don't hesitate to pm for help if you need it.

[REQUEST] IPhone X navigation bar gestures

Can someone make a module that replace the navigation and with gestures like on iPhone X? I really like the idea and I want to see it on Android .
Thanks!
+1
What would be the gesture for the back button? Swiping to the sides switches apps in the iPhone. The android ui relies on the back button.
Check all xposed modules

I don't know what exactly you are looking for, but have you tried Xposed Edge Pro? It is fantastic... and powerful. Probably will fit your needs.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/xposed-edgepro-v2-0-release-t3525566
Besides it Xposed Gesture Navigation also deserves a try.

Click on the edge of the screen? Or maybe hold?

I use swipe down on right edge center.
Up is menu.
Press and hold top is fast upwards.
Press and hold bottom is fast downwards.
Press and hold center is a pie app switching related.
Press and hold left edge center is general pie.
Press and hold bottom edge center is a pie clipboard related.
And lots of other stuff..... All with Xposed Edge Pro.
Needs Refinement
I love UI changes, so over the years I've tried things like Android Pie, Gesture control, exposed modules, and even multi window stuff all the way back in the tablet days of Android Honeycomb.
The problem is the lack of response breaks them.
When I swipe from the bottom I need instant feedback (visual/audio/haptic or all three) as to whether or not the phone thinks I'm scrolling down or going home.
When I realize I am scrolling down/going home and I want to be doing the opposite action, I need to be able to stop the gesture mid-way and reverse my action.
I need to easily be able to distinguish between the two gestures so that if I do mess up, I know what to do to get the desired result.
I need all other apps to accommodate/not request this gesture.
The iPhone does this well by having a bottom bar, you pull the bar up to go home, you swipe somewhere else to scroll. There is instant visual feedback, and the action can be stopped midway.
For Android here is a non-clone example.
1. Have a bubble/circle (looks like a chat-head) right where the home button is.
2. Swiping up behaves similar to pulling down (refreshing) on chrome/many apps. You start pulling and there is an animation but the action does execute till a certain threshold.
3. Swiping right-to-left has similar animation but for back button
4. Swiping left-to-right does the same but for multitasking
5. Long press for something else
This is not radically different from other gestures or Android Pie, but I believe the small changes and refinements would take it from being impractical to smooth and enjoyable.
I like the new iPhone X's "swipe bar" and I would love to find it on my android phone.
In my opinion a dedicated visible bar is better than "swipe on the edges".
Why? Because even "swipe on the edges" works obviously with a small area of the screen (otherwise is impossible to detect swipe gestures), but this area is transparent, which is cool but also bad: sometimes when you just tap on that area (when you're typing on the keyboard for example) an involuntary swipe is detected.
So in my opinion a visible bar like the current navigation bar is necessary.
But is definitely unneccessary such a big area!
So I imagine the perfect "swipe bar" a small, minimal and animated (when touched) area.
User should be able to map up to 4 different swipe gestures (up, right, down and left) and tap gestures (one tap, double tap, long press, ...)
I drew some concepts of the "swipe bar", what you guys think?

You mean something like this

Change Lock Screen Direction?

I am finding it quite annoying that you swipe up, but the lock screen moves left (and the whole tinted screen moves with it). I'm guessing there is no way to change it, so it moves up instead.
My last phone was the Z3 Compact and there you swipe up, and the pattern moves up with the lock screen. It made sense.
I'm annoyed by the visual discrepancy as well, but thankfully I rarely have to interact with it since fingerprint unlock is so quick, accurate and convenient.
Ideally, they should have designed the animation to adapt to different swipe gestures. At least they still allow you to swipe up to unlock instead of forcing you to swipe left.
So.. Am I the only one unlocking by swiping from the right (so for the me animation for me is actually perfect)...?
But why is the padlock at the bottom of the screen if you swipe right to left? I also wouldn't mind if the pattern lock entered from the right. It's the inconsistency that gets me
Most likely the UI people at Sony decided that for this generation, the core UI gesture theme is swiping from right to left.
For example, default home screen is anchored at the very left and additional pages are to the right, so you swipe left to access those pages.
So, by extension, the lock screen should also be unlocked the same way for consistency and smooth transition to the home screen UI flow.
The padlock icon location is probably tied to the Android OS and not something Sony can or wants to change.
Just a guess. I'm still grateful that they didn't remove the ability to swipe up to unlock.
Maybe you're right. I would like to have the option.
I've looked into a few replacement lock screen apps but they don't feel as secure as the stock one.
Sucks for me too. Wish we could swipe any direction.
