Am I the only one with baby hands that has to move all the icons to a certain area on the home screen to be able to reach them lol. Just wonder how many others out there have the same kind of screen. My galaxy s5 was a stretch but using the G4 one handed for me FORGET IT haha

Even though I use two hands, I still move my frequently used icons to minimize my reach for them .
I have a lot of problems typing on mine i always hit periods and spaces even with split keyboard
It takes a little adjustment period. Are new G4 owners? I am 5'6" and game from a G2. This has a slightly larger screen and took some gettig used to. I can still use it one handed with little effort.
The keyboard layout always screwed with me. The period and comma on the right side causes me to hit comma too often. I edited my keyboard so comma is on the left and the right only has period and enter. It shifts the space bar over because I am used to spacing with my right thumb.
Otherwise I use Action Launcher with no dock. I just throw my 6 commonly used icons at the bottom row. Then just a left-right swipe for the drawer. Its a vertical drawer thats alphabetical, so just scroll until your thumb can grab what you want. Pretty easy and solid setup.
I used to use Nova Prime on my phone and Action Launcher on my tabs. But since using AL on my phone I find it so much easier to use. I only have 2 desktop pages; #1 is my 6 icons, #2 has a full page twitter widget.
Homescreen
This is Action Launcher 2. For some reason I do not like Action Launcher 3.
I use my nose for hard to reach apps lol. I did this in front of people and they think i am kissing my phone
Ya like oh lg g4 i love you lol
Bahaha

I recently upgraded to the Galaxy S3. I loaded on my favorite keyboard, Shapewriter, and was disappointed to see that it didn't fill the screen like it did on my other phones. Is there anyway to make it take up the whole bottom of the screen like all the other keyboards? Thanks for any help.

send a note to the developer... they might not be aware and just need to edit it for the larger screen...

It's no longer supported. I have a backup of the APK that I use to install it with. It's not even on the Play anymore as far as I know.

That's clearly not supported on 720p screen, never heard of the keyboard but if you find people that likes it a developer might be able to help

If I recall, Shapewriter was bought by Nuance and incorporated into the FlexT9 keyboard and now those features are incorporated into the latest Swype beta...
So maybe try that?
You can always lower your dpi

I downloaded the Swype Beta. It's going to take some getting used to, but overall I think it's better than the default Samsung keyboard.
I prefer shape writer over all the rest I've tested. The automatic addition of a space after a period (.),saves hitting the space bar more often than deleting the space. The ability to retroactively capitalizewith one key does not require retype. The selection of typed words with one touch,allows the original selection list to be recalled.
I can't believe they did this all two years ago. Nuance now owns shapewriter.
Found a cool keyboard that is in beta that I'm trying out. Thought Id share it with you guys!

"Minuum is a tiny, one-dimensional keyboard that frees up screen space while allowing fast, accurate typing.
Current technology assumes that sticking a full typewriter into a touchscreen device is the best way to enter text, giving us keyboards that are error-prone and cover up half the usable screen space (or more) on most smartphones and tablets."
"Minuum, on the other hand, eliminates the visual clutter of archaic mobile keyboards by adapting the keyboard to a single dimension. What enables this minimalism is our specialized auto-correction algorithm that allows highly imprecise typing. This algorithm interprets in real time the difference between what you type and what you mean, getting it right even if you miss every single letter."
Link to the APK for developmental use only, please do not install the apk unless you are a verified tester and are following the Minuum Teams terms of use.

I tried it. Unless you are very familar with a normal keyboard, you still find yourself looking for certain letters. I also found inserting puncuation marks to be somewhat inconvenient. In the end, it really did not save to much space over my Swiftkey setup.
I love it.

I've dabbled with it and am starting to get the hang of it. Quite innovative. I think after a little more practice, I won't be looking back.
Interesting, will wait for a later build and then try it for sure

Using Nexus4 stock and unrooted, Kii keyboarding it up
Just tried it. Great prediction!
However, no gesture/or swipe features.
That alone makes it unusable.
Also, it's a real hassle trying to input periods and other symbols without stopping.
I've tested many Sudoku apps on Windows 8, but most of them are just very awkward to use. Neither mouse nor keyboard were really fun - although the touch input offered so many new possibilities. Partly the sudokus aren't really good, because they often had multiple solutions.
Finally I decided to do this better. I liked the result, but I think, you could judge this way better. Of course I would be pleased to get feedback and suggestions.

it looks good, but i see room for a few improvements.
a message comes up at the start of a game, and the button to dismiss it is tiny and tucked away in a corner.
the button should be closer to the center of the screen, and it should be a bit bigger(wider)
the difference between generated squares and filled-in squares is too distracting.
perhaps it will work better if all squares are white, generated numbers are black, and filled-in numbers are dark-grey.
the close and move buttons overlap with the 3 and 6, this looks unprofessional.
i suggest you add a little "titlebar‘ on top like with windowed windows in Windows...
perhaps you could add a "game over" if you fill the field with a mistake.
it took me a while to realize that an extra 3 was the reason the clock didn't stop in my first game.
and last one: a paid version.
the ads are very distracting, and in a paid adfree version you could also use this space to display a permanent keypad.

Thanks for your feedback!.
Many of your suggestions are great and are going to be released in the next version
Btw. there's an option to mark error's in the application bar - so if you don't find your mistakes, you could mark all wrong numbers red
I just got a n976v SD, and am looking to make it look like my old phone-

1) I want to make the QS panel ~7x3 grid.
2) I want to display the full date and time on the left side of the status bar (Sun November 22 12:00:01 AM)
3) I want to make the notification panel easier to read (less.. stylish)
I haven't used Samsung in a few years (Note 2, 4, used a 9 for a little bit but liked Xiaomi Mi Mix better).
I see that the "grid button" in QS was removed at some point, and I don't think you can edit the grid pattern easily.
this link: https://www.xda-developers.com/customize-size-quick-settings-button-layout-samsung-galaxy/ from 2017 seems to not work (comments say it doesn't work with Note 10+)
I'm a little familiar with adb from unlocking/rooting/flashing Mi Mix, but haven't used it in a long time.
I also see some talk of System UI launcher shortcut (I think you can change the # of columns for the 1st row that are shown with a short pulldown).
I downloaded Good Lock & the modules. It seems like a lot of flashy superficial stuff & not as much functional stuff. Maybe I'm not understanding NoviStar/QuickStar enough yet. It had some useful tools for dual window.
I used Nova launcher to make a 9x9 homescreen grid.
And I changed dpi to >525. Helped me like the phone so much more.
I loved AICP on the Mi Mix. So easy to customize everything. I'm going to miss the phone.. but the Note has better battery, camera, & S pen. The Mix is still so beautiful and plenty powerful for my needs..
There's Good Lock, Quickstar but more for getting rid of status bar junk.
Pure black where my status bar was... and therefore not prematurely burning out my OLEDs.
Also saves a little battery.
Maybe a 3rd party app or launcher can do it.
Probably not worth all the trouble but good luck.
Hello all!

}
So that's basically it.
How can i achieve that?
P.S.
So i am about to get my new phone "Samsung Galaxy A22 (4G)" in about 5 days, so i want to prepare for it.
Im buying glass protection, mask (something like this) and also, since its an AMOLED (OLED) screen, and It's known that OLED screens can get burn-ins,
(my other OLED phones already have burn-ins in some form or another) so i want to take care of it as much as i can, as i always did, but
what i noticed is that burn-ins on my previous devices are from navigation and notification bars mostly...actually ONLY from those two!
So i was thinking on removing those two to auto hide them.
There is a partial solution since i use NOVA launcher prime, it can hide notification bar but only
from home screen.
Whenever i'm in any other application it's shown again, unless that aplication it self hides it and go full screen, like youtube in full screen for example.
I want it to always be hidden unless i swipe it to be visible. Same with navigation bar. I want clean screen and only on demand bars.
Plus, i want it in generan even if its not OLED but more so with OLED!
Now here's the thing, i cant find a solution! I thought its a simple thing or that there is an option in settings,
but there is none. I also tried some play store apps, but they dissable keyboard and back button. Some even say i need to enable permission
by entering command from PC and so on... i dont wanna get some malware or whatever on my phone.
I came here for some elegant, simple solution without so many steps, and even if some permissions are needed i feel more comfortable you guys telling me i can safely do that than some sketchy app or tutorial online.
Thanks in advance guys!
