Well, I got a refurb. 32GB Nexus 6 on ebay.
Love the phone, so far I unlocked the bootloader and manually flashed the latest 6.0.1 image from the google site.
I have not yet rooted the phone or installed a custom recovery.
I am wondering what kind of tweaks you guys are running on the phone?
So far I want to have these:
DPI change - icons and UI are huge
Black Settings menu
Vibration strength needs to go down
Speaker volume increase
Double Tap to wake
Possibly a better camera app (not sure which one is best, im coming from Lg G4-that phone was crap, battery life and heat killed it for me)
"DPI change - icons and UI are huge"
Pointless, waste of time, unnecessarily risky. Buy Nova Launcher and you can have as many small icons on your home screens and app drawer as you like. (If you're interested I'll post a screenshot).
"Double Tap to wake"
Requires root. I use the app Double Tap to Wake, and it's pretty good but doesn't work 100% of the time. I read a long time ago that it's in the ROM but Google disabled it for this very reason - doesn't work every time, so a flaw in the hardware/ROM, not in the app.
These two in conjunction minimise the use of the power button - and you don't have to look far in this forum to find how many people have power button problems. Double Tap to wake the phone, and Nova's swipe gesture (paid version only) to lock it - great combination. Plus all the other stuff that Nova does, so much stuff that I doubt I use a quarter of its functionality.
And I don't have shares - I'm just a very happy buyer...
I made my own rom.
And Nova Prime is on offer now on Play Store for 50p - 70 cents...
for dpi, i've used an app called textdroider_dpi and set mine to 420 with no problems. Everything works fine - Play store, Android Pay etc and it looks great.
For volume, use the ROM in my sig. It's sweet
Looks like the OP has lost interest...?
Hi guys,
I want to share with you app called Moto Display handwave, which add very useful feature to Moto Display. Display will activate when you wave over proximity sensor.
This app will only work on stock rom.
Here is that app:
Play Store
Thanks to:
BaltiApps for app...
Enjoy guys....
it dont work.do i need to make something special?
i am on stock rom with latest squid kernel.
it works!But unfortunatelly u have also to enable screen notifications inside stock Moto app,that is quite iritating because screen turns on with every single move.So this mod has to have option to work only with wave hand to be perfect..
RR already took care of that, lol
really???excellent news,god bless him this is the only thing that misses from this incredible device!
I have been using Glance Plus as the Moto Display substitute for quite a while now, I really think it is a good alternative to it, if not better.
yeah i use this also now with paid features is by far the best till now.
Unlike other OEMs out there that use the in-display fingerprint scanner to just unlock the device, OnePlus actually gives you the ability to quickly launch other apps as well. That's just frigging amazing and I absolutely love it. You can check the full tutorial here - https://themrphone.com/article/oneplus-6t-quick-launch-apps-screen-unlock
Kind of a bummer that you still need to wake the display in the first place to actually use the in-display fingerprint scanner, but still, this is good nonetheless.
Nice, thanks for info.
Yes, completely agree that having to wake the display in the first place to actually use the in-display fingerprint scanner is a bit of a step back. Fingers crossed for a Magisk module!
tmobile version doesn't have this yet. just so everyone knows.

I think I'll be using the "touch to wake" option

The screen has to be woken in order to light your finger. UD readers use a camera behind the OLED panel to take a picture of your fingerprint, and the panel is what actually lights your finger for that shot. The only compromise I could see would be something to keep the rest of the screen dim/blank and only activate the fingerprint area, but it'll still require you to wake the screen.

Yeah, aod is probably something that can do the job at the lowest acceptable lighting requirement to read the FP.
My "Settings" app carashes when I try to enter on that menu (quick launch)... What should I do?

When you touch the fingerprint reader area the pixels behind it light up to 100% brightness in order to illuminate your finger.
The "tap to wake" feature already available pretty much solves this "problem". You simply press your finger onto the "off" display in the place where the fingerprint reader is located (easy to do after some practice) and the display turns on, fignerprint scanner illuminates and reads your finger which then unlocks the phone.

I do hope they tweak how bright the screen has to be, but from all I've read, those pixels have to be at full blast to get an accurate read on the fingerprint., so they probably need to at the very least need to regionally brighten that area of the screen fully on the ambient screen. Someone out there more clever than I will surely figure it out in a way that doesn't compromise security. Hoping it's OnePlus, but we've got an incredible community that can take a swing at it too!
Mine do not have any such feature..
Though the feature is cool I am not happy with the experience. It's not smooth, it shows pattern input screen for a while before showing quick launch menu.
Also the home screen/last app screen before the quick launch and the vibrations (too intense) are also bummer
What version of OxygenOS are you on? I'm on 9.0.3 and I don't seem to have the Quick Launch option?!

Hello mate!
I've already solved this by enabling the apps that I disabled before (like Google Pay, Google Music/Video and a few others). Then, once the quick launch worked, I disabled again those apps. :good:
still waiting for 9.0.4 to have this

TMO variant is missing quite a few other things, to be precise

by default, the quick launch is set to open a few google apps preinstalled on the device.
If you disabled/removed some of them, but didn't remove them on the quick launch list before that, then it's going to crash every time you open the quick launch setting.
Enable every default app and try again, if it still doesn't work then factory reset and next time remember to remove all apps in this setting before disabling them.

That's why I keep going back to the intl firmware. Quick launch and OnePlus lab. Phone feels much more premium and snappy with intl

How else do you unlock it at the moment ? It has always been touch screen to unlock. Turn on ambient display for single touch to wake or enable double tap to wake and scan fingerprint.
Yeah , camera definitely could be better with the current hardware it has.
Google phone app can be installed via flashing the Google Dialer Framework magisk module
There's no better option because there's no option at the moment Hoping for a real always on display implementation. That would be great.

Ah yes, direct unlock would be nice. Most china phones have them.
I've purchased my S21 Ultra (SM-G998B/DS) 2 days ago but I am facing frequent occurences of rejected touchscreen registering input, especially with the lower half of the screen. I am on the latest One UI 3.1/February 1,2021 security patch.
More info:
a) I am using Nova launcher, with the Samsung Swipe gestures enabled. I've increased /decreased the Gesture Sensitivity with no improvement.
b) I've removed the factory applied screen protector. No improvement
c) Accidental Touch Protection is enabled.
d) Touch Sensitivity option (Under Options/Display) is enabled). Disabling offers no improvement.
Does the same happen when using stock launcher?

Yes but at a smaller degree.
Problem seems to disappear once I switch to the Buttons navigation bar.
