I've been a bit puzzled by the 'shortcuts' in the Note's (stock GB) camera app. You can only have four "shortcuts" showing and there's no way to change any of the other settings unless you change one of the shortcuts to the option you want to change, tap it, change it, then move your original shortcut back, assuming the four shortcuts you originally picked were because you wanted to change them frequently? Meh.
Am I missing something? Besides "use another camera app" ?
Bump, maybe someone knows now
I don't remember the details in GB but if it works like it does on ICS (samsung stock camera. I'm almost positive is the same) you can scroll down on the settings box and see all the different options.
By using the shortcuts you don't have to scroll all the way down for the functions that you use more often.

Damnit. Of all things, I didn't notice the Settings icon right in the 'shortcut bar', I was looking for something exposed by the menu button. Thanks!

I'm really missing the scroll wheel from the mogul/6800. Is there a way to make the ring scroll in programs that don't have it mapped (like zooming in Opera)? I'd really like to use it to scroll through e-mail. I swear that I got it to scroll once in mail for a split second while the app was still loading, but promptly stopped scrolling once it finished loading.

I know I've seen somewhere (I think over @ ppcgeeks) that there was a way to set up custom apps to use the scroll ring in other applications. I'll look again and see if I can't find it.
you can enable scrolling with the sensor using advance config. At the bottom of the list there will be an option with 5 or 6 sub options
I believe DiamondTweaks also has an option for this

I just installed the file "Advanced_Configuration_Tool_v3.3.cab" and I don't see any options for that in it...
Checking the other program mentioned shortly.

Yes it does. Nice app too.
Not as consistent as it should be but I am sure the developer will improve it steadily.
When I say this, I mean that u can scroll around but onceyou make a selection, you can't scroll within that selection.
In advanced config you have to add the programs that you want to scroll with manually. Open advanced config, go to menu, more settings, smarttouch, and add what ever program you like.
there are 2 programs. 1 is called gscroll and the other is called sensorscroll. gscroll is not free, but here is the link for sensor scroll: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=466377
It does shut down on random, but allows you to scroll in manilla (fav contacts, programs, text message etc)
I am on CM7 RC1.3 (previously was on RC1) and I have had the same problem with them on both. My main dock randomly will disappear and the only way I can get it back is to restart my phone. I think it is when i open an app that request full screen access then the main dock bar never comes back. But I can't fine anywhere to disable full screen.
It's an extra place for you to put shortcuts. Disable "Hidden Dockbar" in ADW Settings if you don't want it. Either that, or play around with it until you get used to it. Dragging up from the bottom opens it and dragging down (from the top of where the dock WOULD be) closes it. It takes some people a little bit to get used to it but it is a useful feature.

well i want the main dockbar to always be there. i dont want it disappearing when i go back to the home pages. there is a "close dockbar" option which says "auto-close dockbar after app-launch" when checked. i dont want to see the dockbar when an app is open, but i do want it to be there when i close the app. but i have that disabled anyways, so that shouldnt be an issue. i did a search and saw i am not the only person that has had this problem. but options they took to fix it, i dont have for various reasons. (i.e. CM6, tablet)
the swipe up and swipe down gestures are set to none also.

Yes. I understand. What I am describing is not "auto-close dockbar". It is the Hidden Dockbar as described.
Eh, I don't use it but I just installed it so I could be more descriptive of where the setting is.
Menu->Settings->ADW Settings->UI Settings
Under the "Hidden Dockbar" section uncheck "Dockbar".

Those are completely different than what I am referring to. If the "Hidden Dock" is enabled then swiping up from the bottom of the main dockbar will open it and swiping down from the top of the extended dockbar (imagine where the top of the main dock bar would be if it was there) will close it. I'm not sure how to explain this any better.
I'm sure you can set a hide/unhide the Hidden Dock as a icon shortcut, softkey shortcut, and/or swipe gesture as well if you want to keep it and that is more convenient.
Ok, I had checkmark on Dockbar. I took it off. I'll let you know how it works. Thanks.

Hi, I would like to know how I can toggle Recent App of ICS. It can be shown by long clicking on the home button. The one that has preview because I don't like to be pressing so much my home button as I am noticing improper responses from it. Is there a way to put this as an icon or widget on the homescreen? Thx
Anyone? Tried apps like button savior, etc. But it shows their built-in recent apps instead of the firmware's or samsung's.
BUMP
I know this post is old, but Im trying to figure a way too without using an app or service BUMP\
I found what I was looking for in app LMT using the "invisible swipe gestures" set to top center of screen so that swiping top left is notifications, top right is quick settings, and top center opens recents. This is for anyone who might be searching and happen to land on this dead thread. Any other particular method of shortcut will work if you set it to Activities>SystemUI>Overview.recents is the path to this.

I use GMD Gestures, because my sensitive buttons aren't working. Before, I used CM official inbuilt option that you can change the option sensitive (or back) button for recent Apps. Can really recommend that. Greetings.
Updated my Vodafone firmware about a week ago, now running the BULP7 4.0.3 firmware.
In the previous version of the standard browser, when scrolling down large web pages, you could reveal the task bar at any point by changing to scrolling up. Now you need to scroll all the way back up before the task bar can be revealed. I used to use this lots when wanting to select another bookmark, without having to scroll all the way to the top of the web page. There's a new sidebar that can be switched on at any point when browsing, but it doesn't let you access the bookmark icon.
Anyone have any advice? I've tried most browsers, but settled on the standard one when they implemented the task bar enabling in the last version, would prefer to stick with the standard browser - maybe I'll see if I can hunt down the previous apk.

By "task bar", are you referring to the address bar? It also shows when you press the menu button, doesn't it?
And I don't think my standard browser ever did this. (show the address bar when switching scrolling from down to up) Though, the newer versions of Dolphin Browser did.

I guess it is the address bar, and the previous version of the standard browser certainly made the bar visible when changing from scrolling down to scrolling up, regardless of whether you were at the top or bottom of a webpage. This was the only thing that meant stayed with the standard browser. But with the new version of the browser, you need to scroll all the way back up for it to be visible.

Ah, things are different on the ICS browser from the GB browser. Sorry. I'm unable to answer this question.
Aha, you mentioned the menu button made it visible. I've now discovered if I hold down the menu button it eventually makes the address bar visible. If I just select the menu button I get the menu list for browser settings.
Maybe not a complete fix, but I'll see how I get on with this.
Another tip for you is to hold the back button to get direct access to your bookmarks. Hope that helps out a little.
go into the settings menu then to lab and enable fullscreen and the other option then you can get a action to show address bar from touching the edge of the screen.

Hello,
I have been using the LG V30 for 2 weeks and I am pretty happy with it. The only thing that bothers me are the Icons of already installed apps (like WhatsApp) and GApps. Even if i choose the original shape, these ones stay the same rounded square Icons. I guess that is nothing new and expected behaviour.
This is why I have googled around for the last two hours in order to find answers on how to change these icons.
The only answers I have found were
a) custom icon pack with other launcher
b) use ThemeX and edit specific icons
c) root
d) use a theme
Unfortunately c) is not an option because i do not want to root. b) is off the table as well because that does not work with V30. And since i really love the double tap feature and i cannot stand the solution of nova launcher and other launchers, a) does not fit my needs either.
So I guess the only option for me would be d), wouldn't it? However, all the themes I tried either do not change icons or they change them too much (like all the 'top' themes in LG Smartworld).
This leads to this post and my question: Is there something I did not try yet? If not, is there a theme in Google Play that only changes specific icons (LG Apps, GApps) and no too much else?
Sorry if this is kind of a 'repost' or if this specific question has already been answered. I know this topic was discussed wildely in the Internet and here but i could not find a thread that was as specific as mine.
Thank you very much and best regards,
Brothize

Please clarify why you don't want Nova launcher, as it seems to meet exactly what you want? Nova launcher retains double tap unless you are talking about something else. Mentioned in almost every Nova article: https://beebom.com/cool-nova-launcher-tricks/
I do not use the double tap feature, but when I've tried it with Nova, it's there. For me, the back fingerprint sensor button is much easier to tap for on/off than trying to hold the phone and do a double tap on some open space on the screen (I have lot of icons).
Yes, I have rooted stock firmware and am running Nova launcher with custom pack icons. But my wife and mother and several friends just have Nova launcher with custom pack icons and are NOT rooted.

Thank you for your answer.
I use the the double tap mainly for locking (feels nicer than pressing the button on the back) and sometimes for unlocking in order to check notifications (when phone is on a table, especially at work).
Concerning Nova launcher: I use the floating bar and the screen does not really turn off as in yes, it turns dark, but the floating bar is still visible. Not even after waiting 30-180 seconds. I even tried to play with the settings. Unfortunately the floating bar was still showing. Sorry, I should have clarified why it was not working for me properly!
Are you using the floating bar and it works? Which would mean something is off with my settings I guess.

I believe Novas workaround for non rooted devices is to turn the screen black until your display times out. You may have your timeout set high. The other workaround is to use device administrator but that makes you have to enter your pin/password when you turn your phone on again. I also don't like either method so before I was rooted, I just relied on the double tap on status bar to turn the screen off
Nova launcher prime have gestures and you can made double tap to lock the screen.

I forgot and that method. Yeah, that locks instantly even with Nova.
