So this isn't a feature I used a lot but on occasion it had come in handy. How do you create app pairs now after the OneUi and Pie update on the Note 9? Creating them in the Edge Panel is still there, but tapping on the split app divider does t give the same option icons to "add to home screen".

I would like to add a gesture or something that brings up a menu button. I've used Xposed to get rid of the black bar menu button and have been using Pie Control to add a menu button when I swipe in from the side. However, Pie Control doesn't really work reliably for me and I hate that it's notification is the word "Pie" just up there all the time. I even bought the Pro version hoping I could change the notification, but no dice. Anyway, does anyone know of an app similar in function to Pie control but with a less obnoxious notification and that works more reliably?

Hello guys
Before my new XZ1compact running Oreo, i was able to create URL shortcuts using app like "website shortcut" and choose a nice picture as icon.
IT seems it no more possible to use such app with Oreo ( noted on website shortcut app website) :
"NOTE: due to a change within Android functionality, Android Oreo (8) does not seem to support the shortcut creation service that this app relies on. A solution is in the works, but will require some time."
Can you please tell me a way to do it or do i have to wait for devellopers to update their application ?
Thanks in advance.
In Chrome navigate to the url you want to add a shortcut to, then in the menu choose "add to homescreen".
That should do what you're asking.
Hello Ohbkid
You're right, this method works to just add a shortcut but you cannot choose shorcut icon; it also works with Edge for android.
this is Something i want to do and i could do using "website shorcut" app in the past.

Sorry, does not seem to work on Oreo and Samsung S7. The possibility to make a shortcut on the homescreen is still there in the Chrome browser, but nothing appears on the homescreen. Is this again some security issue in Oreo 8.
url shortcut create on oreo
so, is there a working way to create a url shortcut on homescreen with oreo or not?
thanks
Tom
Absolutely not and impossible. Discovered that it might also have to do something with the launcher you're using. Really, aside from other issues this Oreo is giving me I deeply regret ever having updated to Oreo. What about this adaptive icons problems ??
So I've been experimenting with the Tasks Edge Panel and I've come across a problem. I want to add shortcuts like driving directions created as a widget from the Google Maps app. The issue is that I can only add them to the panel if they exist on my home screen somewhere. If I delete the widget from my home screen then they disappear from the panel. Not much point in having the shortcut on the panel if I have to have it somewhere else too.
Any suggestions would be great. Thanks
No suggestion, but this has been fixed, for a certain value of fixed, in the October 2018 security update.
If you reset your phone, your shortcuts will be stuck in the Tasks Edge settings, and you will not be able to remove them. New entries will disappear just like always.
I ended up just using a different edge panel that is for widgets only. It's a 3rd party add on but it works ok

Hey!
I accidentally see, that when you touch the gear in the notification bar for a while, it starts to spin. Was not that in older versions of Android the activation gesture for a system tuner or something?
Spoiler: the spinning gear starts no action. So it's a useless function??
My gear doesn't spin like yours but that was the gesture to activate the System Tuner in Marshmallow but all it did on stock Android was allow you to customize the System Tray in ways that are now part of the menu you access by hitting the icon to the left of the gear. Some phone manufacturers would add a few additional UI Tweaks but they were always pretty minor.
mine (on v152) spins as wheel - seems like it does nothing though...
Hi guys
Is it just me who doesn't know how to, or Samsung made changes......
Before the Android 10 and One UI 2.0 update I could easily see 2 locations on my weather widget just by swiping the widget up or down. And it will switch between the 2 locations or more the way I set it.
Now after I got the update, I can't do that anymore..... I have to open the weather app, and change the location manually. Even inside the app itself I can no longer swipe left or right to switch between locations.....
Now I have 2 weather widgets on my home screen which taking space......
Cheers
I have the same problem on my s10+, on my tablet tab s6 with android 9 works well.

Time will tell if it's intentional or an Android 10 oversight.
