So I've done a lot of customizing, jumping in between custom ROMS and the stock TouchWiz all the time.
What I've noticed as of late is that for some reason the Ink Effect on my phone will not activate, regardless of the toggle's selection. This is a replacement Note II, since the first one was destroyed by a jet airliner.
Any ideas on how to get the ink effect back?
By default, the ink effect only works with the S-Pen. If the ROM hasn't enabled ink effect for any unlock method, you won't see it unless you're using the S-Pen

Is there an apk out there that replaces the standard lock screen (which is portrait only)?
I'm running CM7 Nightly 102 and can't get the lock screen to be horizontal since I find myself holding the Nook in that orientation most of the time.
WidgetLocker.
My understanding, due to theme chooser, widgetlocker doesn't end up saving widgets on the screen. They end up being erased after reboots.
if thats the case, you can try ripple lock

Man I wouldn't have laughed nearly as much if my r didn't look like an n sometimes
Ripple Lock doesn't do what I need it to do. I don't just want to unlock but I want the pass code/gesture to be horizontal too. Thanks for the suggestions though.
I used to have a Galaxy S on t-mobile and loved it. Recently picked up the razr and the one thing that is really annoying is that the notification bar "swipe down menu" from the top of the screen has no buttons to turn gps on/off, etc.
Is there any way to get these buttons on here?
No idea why in the hell they would omit that feature....

That's a cm 7 feature as far as I know. Never had it on a stock phone.

It's actually a TouchWiz (Samsung's Android skin) feature that Cyanogenmod incorporated. Bottom line: not stock Android, and not on Motorola's skin.
cm? Cyanogyn mod?
Now that i think of it i did have a custom rom flashed on there but i know it wasnt cyanogyn, it was one of the stock ones with voodoo on it so it would run faster.

Galaxy S has the options in the pulldown by default; most ROMs will incorporate it, though, since it's a nice feature. It's not something in stock Android, though.
Best thing for now is the power control widget till our phones can get bootloader unlocked and development for roms can begin. I too had that previous. I just use thd widget for now
Available in the Market as always for example via Widgetsoid.
How many times will I have to say that for people to understan, unbelievable.

Widgetsoid seems like a great app with a lot of potential and nice customization features, but on the Razr you can't toggle directly from the notification bar with it. Instead clicking on the toggle icon will popup another window to toggle the setting on or off. That and I haven't been able to change the colors of the toggles in the dropdown so that it's readable.
Notification toggle is the closest I've found. Each toggle takes up a line but you can actually turn the item on or off straight from the dropdown.

wenn i change the config_animateScreenLights from true to false, i have on Galaxy S2 and Note a TV (CRT) Effekt on shutdown the device.
In the big new Frameworrk is this tweak useless.
How do I get the CRT effect again? In systemUI, apk?

The .so file needs editing.
In S2 also the .so file was problematic and Tungstwenty if I remember correct his name he fixed it.So someone needs to take care of this too.
Cyanogen Team was the first who fixed this ,and probably they will do it again

same goes for navigation bar, after I set the enable navigation to true it just freeze although I can already see the navigation button but it freezed. hopefully someone can figure out how to get the navigation bar and crt effect back
I miss CRT dude...
Ok.. If u disable or change your stock lockscreen and use screen off and lock (from market) you can tweak the animation settings to 'old TV style'. Its what i'm doing for the crt effect

CM9 Will fix it.

Our stock lockscreen doesn't play nice with apps that can turn the s3 screen off. Probably a touchjizz 'feature'. To answer the previous post question.. No it doesn't work with the power button. Just an app to do the same task.
Blame the faulty power button issue the nexus one had,i've grown paranoid of using hardware buttons, fearing they become faulty from heavy usage.

Surface Dithering improves the quality of the images shown on the screen.
CM9 has the option to enable it. How can I do it on a Samsung ROM, if it's possible?
Doubt it. You have to understand, stock roms are built for ordinary phone users, not people like us. Ordinary phone users wouldn't even know what surface dithering is let alone what a setting to toggle it on/off does.
That's why you only see it in custom firmware.
I understand what you mean, but there are lots of mods and tweaks for a great multitude of Samsung ROMs, so... isn't there one that can enable surface dithering? It's a great feature which I'd like to have on my SII! :/
Oh, and I don't use a stock Samsung ROM, but a modified one (Omega v15).
Ask Indie if he can maybe include an option to toggle dithering in a future release of Omega ?

just edit your build.prop and add this line
persist.sys.use_dithering=1
it works on every rom but differences are negligable
Is its possible?
its driving me insane - it makes my s9+ feel like a cheap laggy phone - what a terrible useless effect.
Do you mean you pull the status bar? Because I like to have it and using Swift installer to do this
I mean this blur effect here

Just a wild guess but it's probably just the pixels turning on

I just want to find a way to bring back the regular transparent background - in the homescreen this isnt so bad - but in the lockscreen it feels super slow

Agreed... also found in Pie when opening notifications it's slow switching apps. Oreo was way faster... (I have disbled animations through dev. Options)

I didn't say it was a solution to the blur thing you mentioned. I just said your issue, plus the slow switching animation are things bothering me in Pie and cannot solve it.
Also tried with different themes, but none of them modified those things

I don't think this is possible to remove the blur. It was introduced already in the good lock app quickstar on android 8 and now they added it as default.
when I pull down the notification bar there is no lag though. But I am using the feature "reduce animations" which I really like.. way better than setting animations to 0 in dev options..
Is there any way to make the icons in the quick settings smaller though? They are waaaay to big for me and is killing the experience.

it doesnt lag in the home screen - but the animation is terrible when u do it in the lock screen - partially because it decides for you to open the entire drawer
Update:
Just updated my phone today - the blur effect was removed
Guess Samsung figured out if they cant do it right they just need to remove it lol....

It's for the better, that blur was horrible and out of place
At the beginning i thinked the same, but the content is Blurred to focus on The Notification Pannel i guess, When you touch the status bar The Blur Animation(Transition) was a nice effect, they should leave it as optional and Not Remove it fully

I have the Galaxy Note 8 and the Galaxy Note 9 side by side, both running Android pie. I wasn't paying attention at first, but I noticed something after I installed a good lock, which worked perfectly on my Galaxy Note 9. Upon uninstalling good lock, it is around this time that I noticed that there is a blur background when I pull on my notification bar. But I cannot remember if it was always like that. Comparing it to the Android pie in note8, this is not the case. The background remains transparent but a little bit dimmed, which is what I prefer.

Smaller or are we able to add more than 6 on the top row? Hell my s7 or s5 I think I could have 8 icons on the top. Makes it way more convenient when accessing things. I noticed with Oreo I can have 6 and there is no where that I can find that I can add more... Is this a feature that Oreo removed?
Thanks,
