[Q] What are the arrow keys on the keyboard for?

This isn't really device specific, but using the google keyboard, when you hold down the enter button it shows the emoji button as well as a left and right arrow. It doesn't show the arrows in every app that the keyboard is used for, but for some apps it does and I have no idea what they are for. I press them and I really don't notice anything happening. Not going to lie, this little minor thing is driving me crazy! lol

I would think they are for curser control but I don't see them. What apps do they appear in?

Google search they both appear. I type something, hold the enter key, hit the back arrow and nothing happens. I figured it was cursor control also. But can't get it to work if it is.

I'm not seeing them in Google search. I'm on KitKat, don't know if that makes any difference however.

I really don't know what you mean by that. I seriously don't see anything happening pressing the arrows. Whether there is anything in the box or not, nothing happens.

When I press on an arrow the text transfers to the search box where I can further refine the search by typing additional info or pressing on one of the arrows to add more info to the search box.

Cool! I just tried it out and the arrow buttons work as TAB keys that allow you to tab to the next field, at least in my email.

How Do I disable...

First of all I have searched for this on Google and XDA and canot find answer so I appologize if its been made and I over looked it.
I don't know what the screen is called but after you unlock your phone it shows this annoying screen with recent calls contacts and the dialer option everytime I unlock my device. Is there away to disable this screen?

Are you swiping from left to right to unlock? If so that unlocks into the phone app, you will see the icon in the bottom left corner and it glows and gets bigger to indicate it is opening into it. If you swipe from right to left you get the camera. Simple solution is to swipe up to unlock.

Sorry for the LARGE photo, I have no idea why its so large.

No there is not, not with stock lockscreen anyway. Look in the corners. Bottom left is a shortcut to the phone app, bottom right is a shortcut to the camera app. If you swipe from left, you open phone, and right will open camera. Swipe up unlocks.
All you can do is change your lockscreen app if it bugs you, or get used to it.

Thank you, I just flashed Chroma so hopefully there is a option. Sorry for such a stupid question.

Some custom ROMs do allow you to change the shortcuts, or set them to none. I would imagine Chroma is one of those, but I am not sure about that.

Chroma doesn't have that option anymore. The dev said no one used that option so he took it out. I always used it...

I just received my Note5 earlier today, and everything is Ok, except for the fact that I can't find the scroll capture option! Does anyone have a fix?
Sent from my SM-N920I using Tapatalk

To take a scrolling screenshot or scroll capture on the Note 5:
Open the content you wish to take a scrolling screenshot of.
Take out the S Pen to launch Air Command, tap on Screen Write.
The screen will flash and capture a single screenshot, then press Scroll capture in the bottom-left corner.
The screen will scroll, and you can select Capture more to keep going, or Done to stop.
Once you've captured everything, tap Share, Save in Gallery or Save in Scrapbook at the bottom of the screen.

Bro you are on your homescreen you can't scroll down lmao

If you changed the theme of the device the scroll capture goes away. I beleive it has to be on the default theme.

Bruh..... If you are going to post about an issue, post the screenshot of your actual problem.
It also only shows up on apps that scroll downward, such as a Web page on Chrome or the Settings menu.
And no, it does not remove the option based on your theme! If you are going to provide help, know what your talking about. If you don't know your stuff, GTFO and move on to the next thread. Dont post help about something you know nothing about.
*Has problems with Camera app, post screenshot of app drawer* Kan yuu find fix?????

Finally appeared after clearing the cache. Strange bug.

I'm having the same bug but I can't seem to fix it. I tried clearing the cache for air command but no change. Any suggestions?

Needed to necro this thread because I had the same issue of scroll capture not popping up. Solidmarc111 was right, you have to be on the default theme. I was on the material theme. Cleared air command cache and it didn't do anything. Changed theme back to default and works perfectly. Also wanted to say leo9891 is a fool for calling someone out so rudely when he is the one that "doesn't know his stuff." That is all.

Sorry man I just tested it, I am on ShineBlack theme NOT default and it works just fine for me, maybe your theme (material) removes it for some reason but this is not a problem with the theme I am using. So, NO you do NOT have to be on default theme. Seems leo9891 is not a fool after all, maybe test multiple themes before you comment?

Lol thanks for more data but Leo is still a fool since he said themes didn't matter and called the person out for it. With my phone I proved him wrong, therefore his rude comment was foolish. I had no need to test multiple themes to prove his statement was rude and foolish. It only had to effect one theme, which it did. Have a nice day though

I had the same problem. Had to reboot phone into manual mode then wipe cache partition. Now it's working fine for me.

Key Remapper [Assign new behaviour to buttons]

Hey everyone,
I saw how people are suffering to change key behaviours for their S6 device, so I created an tool app that makes that easy.
Just launch the app, select a button, reassign any action and let the app restart the device for you.
Remember: You need root for that.
You can assign many new behaviours to your buttons, like:
Code:
[B]"NOTHING"
"APP_SWITCH"
"MENU"
"POWER"
"HOME"
"BACK"
"VOLUME_DOWN"
"VOLUME_UP"
"CAMERA"
"SEARCH"
"BRIGHTNESS_DOWN"
"BRIGHTNESS_UP"
"CALL"
"FOCUS"
"CALCULATOR"
"MEDIA_PREVIOUS"
"MEDIA_NEXT"
"PAGE_UP"
"PAGE_DOWN"
"CONTACTS"
"MESSAGE"
"ENDCALL"
"VOLUME_MUTE"
"SLEEP"
"WAKEUP"
"MUSIC"[/B]
If anything goes wrong, you can everytime restore the default, by clicking the big button on the app.
You can even assign the brightness to your volumebuttons, it you want so. Samsung supports it fully.
Here is a screenshot with the app running, and a volume button acting as a brightness changer:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Mod Edit: DL link removed at OP request.
If should work on any S6 variants, probably even S5 and earlier....
But the design is exclusively for our S6 :laugh:
Try it out and hit thanks, if it helped you

very useful app , thanks alot but please add a longpress action option

Any plans to add long press actions? Thanks

Excellent, been looking for something like this for a while since All in One Gestures never worked right for me and don't want to install the alliance framework just to remap the buttons.
I also second that adding long press as an option would be great and on top of that if possible I would love to see the possibility to re-assign the volume buttons to always change media volume by default, instead of ringer volume.

Super!!!!

Any plans for 2xhome for example for camera like on Note5?

Thank You! It works great. In the near future, are you going to remap APP SWITCH to "5" (long pressed key)? That would be awesome!

No Multi window option in OOS 4.0

Hi all I updated my OOS to 4.0 but could not found multi window option in setting page.
Any help is appreciated

For multi window got to recent apps view and simply drag one of the apps to bottom or top part of the screen. It will take the respective screen half and leave the recent apps view in the other half letting you select second app.

Thanks. That works. Seems you need to long press before dragging the app to top or bottom of the screen.

I've tried software buttons and can't figure out why I would want to use them... Anyhow, for those use hardware buttons:
Go to Options > Buttons
Here, pick which hardware button you want to use. I think the Android norm is the "recents" button. Regardless, pick the button you want to use and whether you want tap, long press, or double tap. Then you will get the menu that was posted above by gbroon where you select the "open/close split screen" option.
Now you can launch the split screen mode with that button action.
