I am running adw ex and I love having the option of using the large hidden dock bar as my main dock but this only seems to work randomly and I don't know how to get it to reappear again. Does anyone else have this problem or know a solution? Thank you

i don't seem to have this problem. I just touch and drag-up on the launcher icon and its there. it does pop up when coming back to the homescreen once in a while, but thats not really an issue.
Problem i did notice tho, is that the icons on my homescreen can't be place at the left or right edge, its just a blank column that i can't put apps in, really minimizes the space i have and doesn't look as nice with everything closer to the middle. I only have this issue with EX, not the free version.
Any help there?
Are you talking about the regular "phone" dock bar (right side of screen in landscape) or the hidden dock bar (bottom of screen in landscape)? Because the regular one can be removed in the ui settings to give more screen real estate. Then there is another option to make the hidden one your main dock.

Nevermind I just assumed the main dock bar was on the side like launcher pro. But I figured out the hidden one can be set with a gesture so now mine can hide /unhide with a swipe down. The hidden one is way better anyway and can hold way more icons.

Center dot in status bar press and slide to lock/unlock. Sweet. Sorry if this has been posted. Just got too excited

Can I ask how is this useful?
I always hit that Damn status bar when I'm playing games like modern combat 3 online. Super useful...atleast if you're a gamer

They screwed up something.
The settings menu is now active in the lock screen.
And when you click on a notification, it was simply bypass the lock screen...

Where is this at? i can not find it any place. im using [ROM] AlmostStock_9.4.2.21 (with motley_tfp_beta_kernel-2.1) there is no center dot on my bottom bar.
Look here
Go to settings, Asus Customized settings System Bar Lock - Enable it for there. Then you get a little tutorial for folks too lame to figure it out, LOL. I guess that's smart, else they would have to field all the support calls "I lost my System Bar!", "My System Bar disappeared". Help. I Just locked myself in the car and I have no keys... LOL!
And people are just discovering this NOW? Wow. There is so LITTLE to get excited about with this "Awesome new features" update (Gary Key's comment was: " Updates and fixes galore for the lack of better words.") that I think I found all the "New and exciting features in about a minute and 22 seconds, LOL! I posted about the lock thing 2 minutes after downloading. I guess I was just expecting more... Sigh. And where, pray tell is Face Lock? The "Receive Notifications on Lock Screen was a ruse, all they did was unlock the quick setting menu while on lock screen.
Big. Friggin. Whoop. Asus, Fix my Keyboard/Typing entry so when I am on XDA, trying to make this device better, the cursor doesn't constantly jump to the first character position in the text box. This has been happening since release, and no FW release has helped in the slightest, .11 through .21 inclusive.
You need to enable it.
Settings | Asus Customised Setting | SYSTEM BAR
The you'll get a little grey dot in the middle, hit it and it turns into a lock.
This is the best thing that could happen to my (and other) writing apps. So many users have complained about accidentally hitting the system menu while writing. It should really be a default option in Android. Maybe they will consider letting us hide the system bar completely.

You can buy it with your phone or any other device, make a Titanium backup, copy the backup to the prime and restore it. I did it with my DesireHD and on the prime i even have the Tablet adapted version.
Btw if you play it with a gamepad and USB/BT joystick center it actually feels like a real game
Speaking of Face Unlock, I rather like Samsung's impending implementation with the 'blink' feature. Should help counter those pesky photograph unlocks we've all been subject to... or not. :-/

I have the system bar lock off because I don't care for it , but when I watch a video or do something else that dims the system bar buttons (and turns them to dots)the middle dot appears and doesn't do anything. Bug? Or am I missing something.

Doesn't work right when tablet sleeps
i though it was handy, and tried it. Then my tablet went to sleep and when I woke it up the unlock spot was GONE! I was stuck in the kindle app.
I had to go and get the keyboard and connect it, use the settings button there, and disable the system bar lock function for it to come back.
I tried playing around with the feature since, the unlock reliably disappears whenever the tablet goes to sleep, but flicking around near the bottom for a while can make it unlock.
Coming from phones with smaller screens, I like to be able to drag down the notification bar enough to see who the email is from or what the notification is about, without having to pull it all the way down and back up. With the bigger screen on the EVO LTE, I'm wondering if there is a way to show the notifications starting at the bottom, so I can see them with only a slight pull on the bar, instead of having to drag all the way down.
Anyone know? Don't think it matters, but I'm on Meanrom 1.4 with S-Off.
THANKS
When CM9 or 10 is available to us you can enable tablet mode and it will place your notification bar on the bottom.

You can just flick the notification bar down, you don't have to drag it the full length of the screen. All it takes is about the width of the bar itself to send it down or back up. I know that's not an answer to your question, but it's an option.

Figure I'd bump this rather than start a new thread. I'd also love to be able to have the notification bar at the bottom of the screen, within easy reach of my thumb without requiring me to fumble with the phone. Is there any sort of standalone mod that will do this while I'm waiting for ParanoidAndroid to eventually (hopefully) make its way to the EVO LTE.
There is a WIP paranoid android ROM in the original development section. Works great and loving the ROM.

Well hey look at that! Thanks for the heads up -- I must've completely missed it.
You could also use a custom launcher and set the 1 finger pull-down to open the notification menu. Though trying to reach the settings and clear button are still impossible unless you have fingers like ET.

Yeah - I've already got it so that it pulls down with a quick swipe. My problem is the location of the Power Controls and the Clear button.
I tried PA on my phone but I didn't like the implementation; it's much better on my n7. Even at the biggest settings, the notification panel is just too small on the Evo.
All I really want is a perfect vertical mirror of the notification bar as it is now. In other words, still full screen, it just swipes upward and all the buttons are at the bottom of the screen. I'm actually a little surprised it's not an existing mod / feature, considering how many massive phones there are now and how many of us don't have spindly alien fingers.
having expanded notifications is hit or miss... even when nothing else is there, I'll get the small version. I want the full one of my music, of my scrrenshot especially so i can hit send etc.. i always have to manually expand them.. sometimes they're expanded on their own. there's no rhyme or reason from what I can tell. how can we get them to always be expanded?

That is a pretty odd behavior. My first week I noticed the extended preview of messages, but now it seems that they are always the sheet version. I wonder if dumping app storage would rejuvenate the experience.
On aosp all you had to do was swipe down on any collapse notification to give the expanded version. On sense it apparently doesn't work that way and I've yet to find a way to get to expanded other than the top most notification.

You can pinch to expand or shrink the notifications. Supposed to be the same motion in 4.1+.
i figured out why it doesn't do it...
because of that stupid WIFI nag! when you do the trick to temp get rid of it (hold it down, hit app info, force close), then every first notification that defaults to the top IS expanded, every time. now i need to root to get rid of that nag!
Hi,
it seems the new update (4.2.2) is finally coming to my Xperia tablet Z - wifi (SG312).
I'm a bit hesitant to get it.
So can you, users of 4.2.2, summarize the differences and pros/cons versus the 4.1.2 version?
Big thanks in advance.
Laurent.

Quick summary. Although they say 64GB SD support, from what I hear it had that anyway. They probably mean exFAT.

More like Phone UI instead of a tablet UI.
Small App drawer is there just like in Xperia Z series.
Quick Settings feature from notification panel.
Lock Screen has semi-transparent status bar.
Multi User Account option now available

Thanks. These are the official and "immediately visible" changes.
I'm interested into the other stuff such as performances, battery usage, bug fixes, new bugs, annoying things (it looks like the centered home button is one when using the keyboard)...
I would advise against installing it, unless you have at least 15cm long fingers!
I'll be reverting back to 4.1, because:
* the new soft buttons in the middle of the screen are hard to use in landscape
* notification bar on top wastes room
* notification bar on top is hard to use
* I see no improvements... only the slightly nicer design of the lock screen
They used a design intended for a phone, not a tablet!

This update is a massive improvement in my opinion, particualry the speed. There is no longer and stuttering on the homescreen. When I left a CPU intensive app and went to the recent apps tray on 4.1, there was a 3/4 second lag that has no vanished.
The on screen keyboard now has a 'thumb' option with a reduced size allowing you to float the keyboard around the screen. Very handy indeed.
I've also seen a big improvement with the speaker quality and after moderate use for several hours since the update, battery life seems improved but difficult to tell at this stage.
Video unlimited now sports a dark look over the previous white.
I have some questions regarding wi-fi performance since my was always a bit on the down side.
Notification bar on top is somewhat bad news for me, since I read a lot (moonreader mostly) and I like every space to be availlabe.
Anyway, could you guys enlighten me a bit?
Open moonreade and open a book on it and tell me if the notification bar is dimmed out or if moon reader cover it up?
And what about wifi?
Please answer me this questions because I love to update stuff and 4.2.2 is availlabe now for me and I am ichting to update but wont do it if it is not an improvement as many are reporting...
Thanks in advance!
I need to ask. For all those who opt not to upgrade because of the new layout of the notifications and soft buttons, will you be staying behind when we get 4.3 and onwards? Sony is obviously not bringing back the tablet UI.

I actually intend to update anyway, just want to know if it will bother me a lot or just a little...
And BTW, how can you be so certain that sony won't bring tablet UI back?
And please, open moonreader and tell me what happens to top notification bar?
I confirmed the 4.2.2 upgrade on my SGP312/Japan version fixed the WiFi drops problem, tested on the same router and S4 WiFi hotspot. Tested for over 24 hours now and ran perfect. For the Centered soft keys problem, I installed a small app "Home Anywhere" to place the keys at left screen when portrait. Worth to try, buddies.

I'm not going to bother with this update. The only thing that's important to me is compatability with a 64GB card, and I've been using one successfully ever since I got it. I really don't want to go to a phone UI on a tablet.
I don't think I'll have an issue with the new UI, but does anyone have any screencaptures of it?
They seem to have fixed the Bluetooth/WiFi issue that Sony was so mute about.....
Here are a couple of screen captures for Aid777. Anything in particular you want to see?
Hello,
is anyone tested the MHL with this version ?

Thanks m8, I can see the home screen icons in the middle there, I don't mind that, are those shortcuts on the top left?
I thought I read someplace here that the drop down menu thingy was on the top left, seems to be the MIDDLE? are screenshots taken with volume buttons now, or is "clip manager" still available?

No worries. They are shortcuts on the top left in a very similar place as 4.1.
Drop down menu is in the middle. Also screen shots can still be taken from the power menu.
