[Q] Circle Short Cut Menu - not QUICK CIRCLE CASE - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I thought I saw something about this somewhere but can't find it wasn't in this forum no search hits or not searching right.
If I draw an arch from the bottom left of screen to bottom right or the other way around I get another menu with a few options. Right now it's set for Amazon and Accuweather. How do I change what's available on that menu?
I can't capture in screen shot.

never mind it's called Ring Pad and I have mine tweaked with G3 Tweaks.

How did you enable that? Is it as add on?

I have that coming up too but I don't have Tweaksbox anymore. It's probably a toggle I set with it which stayed after uninstalling tweaksbox. It must be one of the secret settings the blogs have been talking about lately.

Where is the screen setting?

Where is the screen setting, I've been looking everywhere, I always thought there was a movie, and dynamic setting.
This is on the T-Mobile version.

Not on our phones I'm afraid, that and the brightness swipe on the statusbar were left off unfortunately
Yep, the US variants did not get this feature
Damn that sucks for you guys, I don't know why they have to mess around with different versions of the phone they should all be equal.. a universal standard if you will

Screen brightness shortcut missing on SGS3. Here is an alternative

One thing I definitely miss on SGS3 coming from SGS1 and SGS2 was the ability to change the brightness setting from from the top of the notification bar. You were able to slide your finger left to right and be able to change the screen brightness.
I found an app called Display brightness that can do something similar and thought I'd share as I am sure a few of you might also miss the old feature. You can set a screen brightness slider anywhere on the screen and change its transparency. It works a treat to be able to change brightness quickly and efficiently.
Here is the link on Google Play if you want to check it out

Gonna check it out, thanks
Holy crap that is awesome! Works on AT&T gs3. Thank you so much for pointing this out. Have to play with where I want it tho because it can interfere with the keyboard

Yeah its the best I've been able to find so far. Not sure why Sammy removed it from this phone but the app works. Finding a good spot to place it is key

Feel kinda dumb right now, I see the indicator but how do I actually change the brightness?
Edit: I guess the bar was too thin. Once I made it thicker I was able to adjust it. Thanks guys
International version just got an OTA update that includes a brightness slider in the notification pull down. As well as adjustments to the minimum brightness for auto brightness
just tried this, and it is pretty awesome!
If you set all the transparencies to 0%, it works exactly like the stock s2 slider...except you can put this on any side you want. The key is figuring out where exactly to slide your fingers to get it to work consistently, but once you do its pretty awesome.
AAAA+++ Sweet!
very nice find. Works perfect.

Glad a few of you are finding it useful ! I still wish Samsung didn't remove it and not sure why they did. Every now and then I hit the brightness line by accident so I might try and put it in a different area of the screen to see which is the best place. That's the only tricky part. It is a nice app though as an alternative.

Hopefully we get it in us versions of the international just got an update with the feature back on the notification, maybe they forgot about it
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
Oh nice I didn't know that. I had the international for a week until I sold to try the LTE and just know it wasn't there on either. Also on my sgs2 one of the newer firmwares removed it as well a figured it was intentional and too much trouble to add it. I hope you're right

Can anyone confirm if the OTA updates on some of the American carriers added the brightness slider in notification bar like the update did on i9300? Or did the update only remove universal search ?

there is actually already code in the tw_status_bar_extended.xml for this. it just isn't active. i noticed it when i was poking around there for my theme.
Just download notification toggles app free from the market it has a ton of options. Will solve the brightness toggle issue plus you can add short cuts to apps, reboot menu and a bunch more.

Awesome app! I almost hope that the brightness slider doesn't get added to the notifications window...there's already a lot up there.
It seems some on i9300 forums are not liking the brightness slider added in a release and some are requesting devs to remove from roms. I'll keep this app for now as I think its great

I dont believe its actually on the pulldown.. in previous tw versions you just slide across the status bar to the right to go up and down.. i may be wrong about the new brightness alider though.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
This is really great. It's really convenient to set all the transparency settings to "0%" and hiding the slider at the bottom of the homescreen - just slide above the home button to adjust the brightness!
Edit: It works on the lockscreen too - wow!

Quick Circle Help

So I just bought me a quick circle case and can't get it to work for the life of me . I have the quick circle option turned on under smart functions but when I close my case the screen doesn't go off. When I open it it doesn't wake and when I double tap the circle area with it closed I can't swipe to change clocks or anything. Any help would be great

Whilst we wait for the OP to come back ~ what about the 'Settings' option. Men is greyed out not allowing me to tick Settings.
Also, anyone else notice you can only select 'Messaging' when using the default text app. If you have any other SMS/Text app as default it then greys out 'Messaging'.
I got it figured out. I'm using a knockoff circle case and it didn't have the magnet to activate it.
Also have the problem of the quick circle settings greyed out so cant change clock faces but quick circle is working fine other than that

Flashlight

Looking for a good flashlight app. The G3 doesn't have one built in...
Sent from my LG-D851 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Super-Bright LED Flashlight is a good one to use
If you are rooted look into the g3 tweaks box. It has a flashlight in it that you can set on your power menu
If you install battery widget reborn it has a touch app so dual purpose for me
I use this one and it has widget.

I use that one or if you use Xposed, there is an option within G3 Tweakbox to add flashlight to powermenu

You can install Tiny Flashlight
and then install the QLight plugin
which allows you to toggle the light directly from QSlide apps in the status bar.
Quick torch. And you can access it in the quick circle window if you are using the case

I use G3 tweaks and set the volume down button to toggle the flashlight with the screen off
I personally love the CM torch app, attached below. It has a simple design, which I really like.
Warm regards,

I use Teslaled.
It has a widget you can put right into the home bar or where ever so you can turn on with a single click. I've been using this one for years.

Cm flash like with updated material is nice..... Download the cm apps app and download the app within that app lol
Use the Xposed torch, is a module for exposed you will love this one.
LG G3
Going through a lot for a simple led switch to use a flashable cm mod or an xposed module unless you already have xposed.

First of all, hello all. Just got my G3 2 days ago, and still kinda just lurking. Back to the topic at hand...
I use "Shake" I have it set so side to side shaking opens the camera, and up and down shaking turns on/off the LED. It's awesome!

thanks for that, its getting close but I don't have the middle option you have only the show all or show none, how did you get the middle one? Ideally what I want and I have it on my One max was when I get a sms that it get the little notification in the top left corner of the screen but I don't have the message contents viewable on the lock screen. any idea how to turn that bit off?
Sorry bro. I don't have m9 yet. Just wanted to see if I could point you in the right direction. I'm still saving money to buy that beauty and retire my m7. Hope you figure it out.

I'm not seeing an option either. You can turn off the pop up message but that seems to be it.

Guys, I think you must have a lock option (pattern/pin) in order to have the "middle" option to hide sensitive content

yeah I noticed that last night. little bit strange as you have been able to have the preview turned off with a pin/pattern just having a lock screen
why must things that work get changed lol
