Double twist to launch camera? - ASUS ROG Phone 3 Questions & Answers

Hey guys,
I was looking for the double tap setting on the Rog Phone 3 I just received today and can't across this option in the screenshot. When I attempt to select it, nothing happens. I loved that feature on my Moto Z's and Edge Plus so if it's a real setting I'd like to make use of it

Alternative quick settings?

Hi,
So over time, I got used to how quick settings work on the N7, but when I got my Nexus 4 I started to think how much better it might be if it worked the same on the Nexus 7. As in, notification panel appears in the center, and a 2 finger swipe or tap of the icon switches to quick settings.
Is there a mod available to enable this behavior? Or does anyone know how? I guess it's not as simple as changing an option on SystemUI?
I've searched around but come up with nothing useful, so if anyone has any ideas that'd be amazing
Cheers.

Headphone Quick Launch Menu

Just got my Note 5. I'm coming from an S3 and I miss the feature when you plug in your headphones it gives you a few quick links in the notifications. It would also open up a new home screen where I could put my iHearRadio and Poweramp widgets.
It was a nice feature. Is it still available? If so, how do I turn it on?
No one? Would love to get this feature back, if it's available, but can't find an option for it anywhere...

Is there a possibility to adjust the AOD?

I want to see the Whatsapp-Icon or similiar...
Any App/Modul from Playstore/Magisk/Xposed?
Thanks in Advance
Not yet. Seems like a pretty big fail if you ask me. Hopefully it comes in an EMUI update. Just set notifications to turn on the screen and enable the LED.
Yes, but it doesn't work (atleast on the P20 Pro)
:/

I've the P20 pro and although the option is there to enable the Always On Display, it doesn't work.
Unsure if other users have found that it doesn't work either?
Head over to Settings > Security & Priavcy > Screen lock & passwords > Always display information - In here there is a slider bar to enable it, and you can schedule all day or a set time period. Either way when I enable it the display doesn't show anything when the screen goes off.
There's other issues too with EMUI 8.1, such as the setting for turning the screen on when you lift the device up - that doesn't work.
Another is the double tap Volume Down button to take a photo, that doesn't work even though the setting is enabled in the camera app.
Another one is when using the Whatsapp call feature the screen goes off, yes this also happens on normal voice call, but unlike in a normal voice call where you can press the power on/off button to display the in call menu screen, in Whatsapp you cannot get the display back on. You are reliant on the person who you are talking to to end the call.
Other than that the device is immense.

Have to say that all of the things you mention work fine on my phone (although I don't have whatsapp so can't comment on that). however the AOD is next to useless - it only shows the time and battery level but no notifications! One of the reasons I bought a phone with an OLED display was for this feature, hope it gets an upgrade to something useful soon. For the time being I've paid for an app called 'Always on AMOLED', which works fine for the most part.
:/
Has there been any progress on this? I'm coming from an S7 and all notifications showed up on the AOD. Cannot understand why the P20 Pro (flagship!) only allows native apps to show notifications.
Anyone have any luck with 3rd Party A.O.D. apps on the P20 Pro to get it to work properly and stick without being killed? One my favorite and most recommended is:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tomer.alwayson but it is sporadic in functionality and staying "Always On" I am trying to use it on my Mate RS
I came from LG G5 (2016), and I can't believe that this feature is missing on the P20 Pro (2018) flagship. Are they insane?!
Any news about it, when might it be implemented?
I'm so pissed about it that it's unbelievable.

I agree! It's a pain in the ass. There are few features missing, but still very annoying.

Gripes with new p20 pro

Hi, I recently got my p20 Pro and have some gripes if someone can help.
1. I like to use blue light filter. I want to use it all the time. Problem I have is, phone seems to turn it on and off depending on ambient light. I don't want this. There is some setting in display about automatically adjusting display based on ambient light and I have switched it off but no luck.
2. I installed nova launcher (prime version) and am struggling to use it. I want to add apps to homescreen and also to the bottom of screen. I cant do that. When I long press on home screen, I get option for setting, wallpaper and widgets but I can't seem to add apps.
3. I think the answer to this is No, but is there any way to get notification on always on display?
4. Is there a camera shortcut that can be used to lsu ch camera quickly even when inside phone. My old S7 had a shortcut by double tap home button.
Any help please.
Edited to add 4th question..

I don't think there is a way to do this, other than use a third party app that does the same thing.

For Nova, you go into your main drawer and just hold down the app and then you can drag it to your homescreen
3. I think the answer to this is No, but is there any way to get notification on always on display?
No notifications on the ambient display, unless EMUI 9.0 as fixed this. However 8.0 and 8.1 do not have this function.
4. Is there a camera shortcut that can be used to lsu ch camera quickly even when inside phone. My old S7 had a shortcut by double tap home button.
The only quick action button you have for the camera is to go into its settings and choose the "ultra snapshot" option right at the bottom of the settings menu. This will give you the option of double pressing the volume down to take a quick snapshot and gets the camera activated.
Any help please.

Multi Window/Split Screen

I am absolutely certain I saw this in the settings a few days ago, but I can't find it now and a search of settings is coming up with nothing.
Basically, it was a way to set up split screen but having both sides of the screen active. This was demonstrated in the settings as having a dancing stick figure in the active window and when I turned on "both sides active" (or whatever it is actually called) then both stick figures started dancing.
Can anyone help me find this setting again? I've been through every single option in the settings and can't see it anywhere!
Thanks
I think that's a Good lock setting.

Bingo! Thank you
Speaking of split screen.....
On my s8 I could tap the middle bar of the 2 apps I am running split and it gives me option to flip the two easily. I can't figure out for the life of me how to do this on the s10. Is it possible?
