[Q] ''Swipe up ring'' google search/ quickmemo - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

With the G2 you could swipe up from the button and acces quickmemo.
There's only a google search option with the G4, any way to change this?

Not that I've found. there are two other good options:
1) Add QuickMemo+ to your quick shortcuts in the notification panel
2) add a shortcut to your lock screen

This should work.
Settings > Apps > (Menu) Reset Default Apps
Clear whichever one it is, and redo the action and you should get an option to reassign + some other options
Mine gives me the option to call out a tasker task or greenify screen off+lock which is what I do so i can turn the screenoff even from a full screen app without using the button on the back.

How do I disable lock screen in sense ROM?

Been on AOSP for a while....
How do I totally disable the lock screen on a Sense ROM?
Any way to wake up phone with volume buttons?
Also... Any way to increase the number of"recent apps" that pop up when I long press home button?
Thanks!
[ Evo / KWIQ-ns / from xda app ]
use an external lock screen like magic locker or GO series
i believe theres a app in the market that does what ur asking for i havent used it in a while u might want to search no lock on the market search bar to see if it finds it still.
As mentioned, No Lock from the market will disable the lockscreen. Once the lockscreen is disabled, the phone will wake with the volume buttons - the lockscreen is what keeps it from waking on anything other than the power button.
As for recent apps, I couldn't tell you. I know there are third party replacements of the recent apps dialog, but I don't know if it's possible to launch them by long-pressing home. I just use an app to open up my app drawer (Alt Drawer) when I long-press the search button. That works well for me, but I don't know if that would meet your specific needs. With Alt Drawer you can sort by "Most Used", but that can make finding a particular recent app difficult. I just sort mine alphabetically, that way I can easily launch any app from anywhere. You could use an app (Quick Launch, Button Shortcut, or another) to open the replacement "recent apps" by long-pressing the search button.

[Q] Task switcher went to "old school"?

Hi,
stock Note 2 with root and Nova launcher.
Now the app switcher went to old school mode? When long pressing the home button I get this kind of switcher: http://cdn.androidcentral.com/sites...10/05/thumb_tall_android-froyo-app-switch.png
I have set up in Nova that when pressing home button when on homescreen launches the app switcher - this is the normal one where you can swipe ur programs off.
I cant find any setting about this - heeelp
Thanks

try to reset the Nova settings
Hi,
thanks for the answer. I tried resetting the settings via settings -> application manager -> clear all cache etc. -> no help.
I also tried resetting the settings -> removing the Nova launcher -> tried with TouchWiz -> still same problem. Longpressing the home button still gives me the old-school switcher.
I can launch the "new" appswitcher manually from Nova by assigning any hotkey for that.
Gotta bumb this up a bit!

XPosed framework seems to **** up the emotion ui custom theme support yes. There may be an application which puts a brightness slider as a notification in the notification drawer, but I havent done any research on this

Do you use Nova Launcher? If so, then this is easy - I have my brightness slider set so that it pops up if I touch the home key when i'm on the home screen, but you can allocate any custom action to it (i.e slide up on home screen) - you can also just put a shortcut to it on the home screen or use something like widgetsoid to place a shortcut in your notification shade.
If you do use Nova Launcher, here's how to do it:
To activate when swiping up on home screen:
go to Nova settings
gestures and buttons
select 'swipe up'
choose 'shortcuts'
choose 'activities'
choose 'settings'
Select 'BrightnessPreferenceActivity'
Done. Now when you swipe up on the home screen, the brightness slider will appear.

Step 1: Head to Settings menu and then choose Apps.
Step 2: Press the gear icon in the top right-hand corner and choose Default Apps > Assist & voice input.
Step 3: Tap the Assist option and choose None from the pop-up menu.
The current selection is Google, which means that the Google Now shortcut on the lock screen will be replaced. And now for that caveat: Changing this setting also disables long-pressing the Home button to open Google Now on Tap.
If you change your mind, you can always switch the Assist app back to Google.
Thanks you very very much.
I solve the problem.
Happy new week

There is no quick launch option in the camera settings in the galaxy s9

I have seen the galaxy s9 camera has an option of a quick launch by double clicking the power button, and this can be enabled by the activating the quick launch option in the camera settings, however this option is no where available in my phone, is this an option disabled for the indian made phones ?
Regards,
Glenn
For me, it's the 5th option under Settings > Advanced Features > "Quick launch Camera"
But I guess the Indian version does not have that? here's some options from the S8, which might be similar: https://www.sammobile.com/news/indi...8-users-quick-launch-camera-always-on-display
A few other ideas to consider:
My favorite it use a custom launcher (such as Nova), and I set it so that if I swipe up anywhere on the home screens, it launches the camera.
Additionally, I did see an app that could remap the bixby hard key on the left to be any action or application you wanted, such as the Camera. I forget the name of this app, but I'm sure you can find it if you search for remapping the bixby button.
Thanks,
But could not find it under advanced features too
But with the thread you shared, im able to do it with the home button, it helps
