Google Play Services battery drain fix
Original thread​
Thanks to @timmaaa, only the second step work (the one quoted in this thread) for our Galaxy Young. After testing this method, the battery drain problem was fixed and noticed that the Play Store is faster ! You have only to follow the instructions.
Please note: everything below this point requires root! This will not affect the running of your device!
Next you need to download Android Tuner. Open it and pull out the side menu, scroll down to the Apps Manager section and select Application Startups. Open the box at the top and change it to All, click the button in the bottom-right until it says System, scroll to Google Play Services and select it, a huge list will open, scroll to very near the bottom and find the Wakeup option, uncheck the box.

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Go back to the main menu of Android Tuner and pull out the side menu on the left, scroll down to the Apps Manager section and select Application Manager. Click the right box at the bottom until it says System, scroll to find Google Play Services and long press it, a menu will pop up, select Permissions. This should bring you to the Perms tab, swipe across to the Services tab. In this list you want to uncheck anything that starts with Ads or Analytics, you also want to uncheck anything that starts with com.Google.android.location.reporting as well.

I seem to have lost the task list drop-down (top right) and my Start list is now vertical and tiny.
This appears to have occurred yesterday after removing Touch Commander (and possible WAD). I've double checked the install/un-install instructions but have been unable to fix this. I've also tried re-installing both the "Truly Blue" and Default themes using Diamond TF3D Config, but alas...
Do I need a Registry tweak or manilla hack ?
Does anyone know how to get the task list back ?

Start - Settings - System - Task Manager - select "enable quick menu" ??
Doh - that simple ! Tx Cheesy Dave.
FYI - just found this.
Re: Start Menu size, "read the manual"...By default, the Start menu is displayed in a large size to make it easier for you to touch menu items with your finger when selecting them from the Start menu. The Start menu can also be displayed in a smaller size, if preferred. Tap Start > Settings > System tab > TouchFLO and then clear the Enable large Start menu check box to display a smaller Start menu.
The easiest and most guaranteed way is doing an hard-reset..... don't get worried, it seems a silly answer but it works anyway....... and you'll never spend lots of hours to try softwares, to apply patches and more else........ Just do it!!!
Hey,
There exist two known ways to hide the navigation bar in KK.
1. For users with root
First of all you need to have root rights because you have to change the code in a system file.
Go to your Internal storage -> data -> cust -> xml and open this file hw_defaults.xml. Change these lines:
<integer settings.system.hide_virtual_key="0" reset="true"/>
in
<integer settings.system.hide_virtual_key="1" reset="true"/>

2. For user without root
For users who don't want to root, they can download Activity Launcher on the Play Store:
PlayStore link
Launch the app after installing.
Tap on the the words "Recent Activities" right on the top of the screen, and select "All activities"
{
"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Scroll down the list to "Settings" and open it.
Again, scroll until you get to the "Navigation bar" entry and open it for the option to hide the navigation bar.

just an fyi for anyone with less than stellar performance while scrolling within google play music or google play store. i finally pinpointed the issue to the app fill feature in lastpass. see the screenshots while scrolling in google play music:
top apps by cpu
com.google.android.music:ui:
surfaceflinger
com.lastpass.lpandroid
system_server
while scrolling what the hell is lastpass doing in the list? (the answer: google play music ui has a search bar... so it's watching or a field to fill in:
{
"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"
}
the next step of action is to login to the lastpass app and complete the following:
open up the lastpass app
goto settings
tap on app fill
verify you see "fill logins in other apps" enabled (only happens with enabled)
tap "edit app fill settings"
Scroll down to "Google Play Music" and tap
tap the checkbox named "Do not show fill window"
tap ok
exit out of lastpass
observe the sweet scrolling action in google play music.
rinse, wash and repeat for any other app giving you trouble
the results? check out the cpu list now while in google play music!
com.google.android.music:ui
system_server
surfaceflinger
com.android.systemui
(no damm lastpass process!!!)
i would post picture, but i'm only posting my third post.. so i'm limited until 10
anyway wasn't sure if anyone else had this problem with their G3.. much happier now that i'm not thinking i was going nuts because of the lag!!!!

THX YOU SIR
One of the new features found in ColorOS 12.1 is the ability to create an OMOJI. This is an interactive animated character that can be used to represent you! Once you've created your OMOJI, you can share it with your friends, or use it for your Always-On Display. The selfie camera is used to capture your facial expressions, as your OMOJI mirrors everything that you do.
Start with a template character, and make adjustments from there. Use the edit icon in the bottom left to choose your skin color, head share, hairstyle, etc. Then you can proceed to choose headwear and glasses for your character. There are many different designs to choose from, so chances are that you'll be able to get an OMOJI that represents your style.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now your emoji is ready to use. You can access it by going to Settings > Account > OMOJI > Use OMOJI. Then you'll have options to set it as your profile photo or profile cover. To use your OMOJI with your Always-on Display, go to Settings > Personalization > Always-on Display > OMOJI.
Now that you know how to do it, feel free to share your OMOJI in this thread!
Thanks to OPPO for supporting this thread
Would be good if you showed how to actually open omoji!!! Its not in my app drawer, but is showing in App Management in settings. The only options are Force Stop (which is greyed out) and Uninstall.
Unfortunately not available in a lot of regions. I also do not have the feature which is definitely a bummer.
