What happened to zoom in chrome? Marshmallow 6+ - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm used to zooming in chrome with a double tap + slide up for zoom in or double tap + slide down for zoom out. Has this feature been removed?

Nobody?

Maybe try a clean install (wipe data and delete the junk and chrome folder in you storage/Android/... But make a backup before, in casr it doesent help you can easily restore ur stuff....
Im using (official) Sony MM (6.0) Concept builds from jenkins-84 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/development/rom-t3232674
No mods at all, only deleted some useless app from system & using greenify beta.... Nothing special..
Im using chrome "dev" version because its faster than the normal or beta one.... But it has its bugs sometimes...

There was no zoom feature on my Nexus 5X out of the box totally stock. Still no zoom with an OTA to 6.0.1. No change with Chrome Dev. Not rooted, not unlocked, totally unmolested vanilla Marshmallow.

So we Talk about that it doesent works on n5x and not z3c??
Wow thats weird i couldnt imagine how to browse an that giant screens without that double tap to zoom i use my phone 60% one handed... Cant even believe they disabled it, Maybe Google again f***ed it up... -_-, but,
You did maybe a search on Google if some other experiencing the same issue? Maybe need to set a switch or sth..??
I will go tomorrow to a tech Shop & try it. On a 5x and 6p and report back.... If they really disabled it, then... Google need to not take so much stuff ?

Yes I use my phone one handed all the time, or at least I used to. Now I have to fumble with the phone to use a second hand or try to pinch zoom one-handed. Quite annoying.
I have searched Google and there are reports over the years of the feature being missing but nothing seems specific to N5X or Marshmallow...
I think most people don't know the feature is there and that is why they don't notice it missing.

I can really feel ur pain but also cant imagine they removed it Most of my friends have Android phones in all classes like old or new some are flashed with CM or something and i think it works there everywhere... Im sure for the Most phones.
What i read is that some had this Problem, because if you enable "zoom gestures" in accesability settings, it dont works. Maybe you check that?
I will also see hows on the nexuses here, tomorrow. But im pretty sure the dont removed it. Its a bug when. There would be apps and xposed modules at least to bringt that functionality back...

Yes I can't imagine they removed it, I think it must be a bug. I had this feature working just last week on my Nexus 5 (2013) before I got the 5X. I was running Cataclysm (AOSP 6.0 + tweaks I think) and the feature was there.
I also read about the zoom gestures, but that can't be it because it was never enabled... until I started searching all the menus of the phone to remedy the problem and found that zoom gesture (was disabled when I found it, but I enabled it in an effort to bring back the one-handed zoom). The gesture offers some one-handed zoom but it is really crap in comparison to the regular double-tap + slide. After messing around with the "triple tap magnify" in accessibility menu and finding it crappy, I disabled it. Still no double-tap slide zoom. Garrgh..

Well here's an update. I noticed I DID have the double tap + slide to zoom feature in chrome, but only on particular pages and only if I tapped in certain spots on the page. I'm probably just an idiot.
Regardless, I've unlocked, rooted, and flashed Cataclysm last night. No issues. Double tap + slide to zoom works as expected. Case closed!

I installed marshmallow today and my zoom feature no longer works on chrome either. I have a Samsung s6 edge

CM 11-20160115-SNAPSHOT-XNH0E0O00N-i9300 (4.4.4) -can't locate 'sticky home' button

Hi guys,
Read the recent news about CM14 being available for i9300. Amazed, I thought I'd have a look.
Noticed that it was only currently in BETA so opted for CM13 instead (Marshmallow).
As impressive as it is, that Marshmallow can run on an SIII, IMO... it is quick enough moving through homescreens, but when it comes to launching apps, it was taking roughly 5 seconds for a typical app.
More resource-hungry apps like Skype (always a slow starter), or Chrome, took about 8 seconds. I decided to revert back to my tried and trusted CM11.
Installed it, and it's looking a bit different to how I rememer, I might now being a slightly newer build than before, and some changes are welcome (app drawer icons stacked vertically, rather than swiping left-right through screens). It also looks a little marshmallowish in my opinon. All good!
However, I'm looking for a feature I truly miss: in my old KK, I used to be able to longpress on any screen, and click a 'HOME' icon to make that the sticky home screen. (hardware home button takes you to this screen).
my question: --------------- is this feature missing, along with the other cosmetic differences I mentioned, because of the newer build. Or is it maybe that I'm using a newer version of Gapps? (Im now using OpenGapps). When I browsed to the OpenGapps homepage it default selected OGapps 4.4 ARM. ---I would have thought that the 'sticky home' button I'm talking about would be more to do with the Launcher than Gapps?
Cheers if you can help

Can't help you with that, except to use an alternative launcher.
But besides, I think that's the wrong section for your question cuz this is the Developer Forum.
There is a Thread for cm11. I advice you to post your question there.
Good luck

★How To Get True Immersive Mode/Fullscreen/Expanded Desktop in ANY Rom★

Want true fullscreen in any 7.1.1 Nougat rom? Want to be able to get maximum viewing space on your 6p? I have a treat for you!
Although the 6p screen is very large, I'm a huge proponent of maximizing screen real estate.
I found this setup is awesome because it gives you so much more viewing screen for everyday use. For example, in Chrome, now you can see so much more of a web page and it makes your viewing space so much better:
1) All in One Gestures App: enable fullscreen (within the app to get true fullscreen/immersive mode. Expanded desktop rocks. Massively improved viewing space baby!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...gestures&hl=en
2) Download Swipe Navigation App: from playstore. This is AWESOME. Enables swipe gestures to navigate and swipe as opposed to having a physical navbar. This saves huge amounts of screen real estate. At the bottom of the screen, left swipe up is back, middle swipe up is home, and right swipe up becomes recents. (This is so cool).
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...vigation&hl=en
3) In a build prop editing app (I recommend BuildProp Editor), paste this line and save:
qemu.hw.mainkeys = 1
(this removes the on-screen navigation bar, now you have awesomely improved screen real estate!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...p.editor&hl=en
Can you use the build prop edit to hide nav bar in 7.1.1 last I knew it wasn't possible.
Not sure where you heard that, because yes you certainly can!

it's possible to hide the navbar. it's not possible to change its height (through substratum). maybe that's what you heard
Hmm. Keyboard won't work when you enable immersive mode in All in One Gestures. Kind of a deal-breaker.
Edit: tried out Swipe Navigation and the build.prop edit. Works perfectly right now. I was a little worried after restarting the phone because the Swipe Navigation app didn't start right away (I couldn't back out of an application, lol). But it started up in less than a minute and everything is good. I'm going to use for a while and maybe buy the $1.50 add-on that unlocks custom actions.

Please don't spread misinformation. The keyboard DOES certainly work when you enable immersive mode in All in One Gestures. Everything works perfectly. I've been running this setup for 3 weeks and it works like a dream. This isn't the crappy GMD fullscreen buggy app, lol.

Oh my god... alright, whatever. Your logic is just flawless, I guess. You're right, it works for everyone - every, single person. Even me... somehow?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This app from the play store is the best that I have seen. Cost $1.99, I brought it with google play credits from the google surveys. It will give you the tiles in your toolbox and everything. You can hide the status bar, the nav bar, or both, plus alot extra. I use it. As long as your rooted there is no need to edit the build prop.

Easy there you get very defensive.
Rather then squabble with you, i think i discovered why it's not working for you.
Are you using superuser or supersu? I'm using the newest chainfire supersu SR3 beta. This might be your issue:
http://download.chainfire.eu/1021/SuperSU/SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742.zip
** IMPORTANT** Also, did you enable all permissions for the app?
As you can see from my screenshot, this is mine, works perfectly and IF you take the right steps i highly suspect it works for EVERYONE.

The reason why you need to edit the build prop, is because, if you want to use Swipe Gestures (the easiest and superior method for nav bar-less navigation imo) is because otherwise now you have two extra steps. You swipe up from bottom, and now you wait for the nav bar to 'come up'. You then hit the button you want. Takes time.
With my method, you instantly navigate with a gesture. One lightning fast action. That's why removing the nav bar in build prop is so important.
Also, the app you suggested costs money. Can be done better and at absolutely no cost.

Like I said earlier, I set my phone up just using the Swipe Navigation app and the build.prop edit. It's all working right now, so I don't really think that first app would add any benefit to me right now, even if it was working for me.

I clearly stated to download the beta that i posted. It's like three months ahead of the 'stable' SuperSU development cycle.
What rom are you using? I'm using uberstock.
I flashed two other roms, and I was able to get the keyboard working in immersive mode in both.
Everyone felates and sucks off purenexus, but Uberstock runs circles around it in my opinion.

How-To Enable Two-Button Navigation on the OnePlus 8 Pro

I love that OnePlus gives us the option to use either gesture or three-button navigation. But I wish we had two-button navigation too! It's the best of both worlds! The good news is that it's super easy to enable Two Button Navigation with a super quick and easy ADB command. You will need USB Debugging enabled on your phone and ADB installed on your computer.
ADB Command: adb shell cmd overlay enable com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.twobutton
Check out the video here to see it in action.
If you are on Android 11, the first method will not work. Please watch this video for instructions on how to get Two Button Navigation working on Android 11 (root required):
Would you happen to know how to get the original OnePlus gestures back to? Just figured I'd ask. Thanks.

they were the OnePlus gestures found on the OnePlus 6t that's what I came from and the back was a swipe up from the bottom corner of the left or the right side and then swipe up home was straight up from the center and then recents was swipe up and hold and then you can also jump to your last app that you opened by swiping up and to the right.

So it took me a few minutes to refresh my memory but I figured out what you're looking for! Good news is that I have the answer, bad news is that it's not what you're looking for.
When Google rolled out Android 10 they basically gave OEM's requirements on how the navigation bar had to work. The old implementation you're looking for is OnePlus's take on gesture navigation and Google basically says don't do it. So when they rolled out the OnePlus 7, they got rid of that option.
There might still be a way to enable it, but I haven't found anything yet. If I do, I'll be sure to let you know!
Here's a really good write up that explains the change. https://www.xda-developers.com/google-gesture-navigation-android-10/

On 6T Android10 , we have both options to choose, google implementation and this one from OnePlus, for gesture navigation..
I believe this app will provide you all the gestures you need, posted elsewhere on these forums.

FWIW, Google doesn't force OEMs to get rid of their own gesture implementation - they just have to hide it behind one extra Settings layer. For example, on the OPPO Find X2 Pro running ColorOS 7.1, you can still enable the swipe-up gestures (the same one from older versions of OxygenOS) as well as Google's full-screen gestures.

I wish it was a bug! Unfortunately, it's 100% by design. With Android 10, Google basically retired any navigation options that weren't their gesture or three-button options. Manufacturers can still include their own options but they have to do it in a submenu and can't use the Google framework files for it. They basically have to repack a bunch of files to get their stuff in the right spot on the menus, to get the overlay to work correctly, and then they have to still push the Google options as the default. It's just not cost-effective for OnePlus (or any manufacturer other than maybe Samsung) to use another option now. This method worked because OnePlus already had the work done on the framework, they just didn't update the menu to show their navigation options. With Android 11, there was enough of a rebase going on that they didn't go through the effort of adding it back in. But hey, this is XDA. I'm sure we'll see some mods in the future that will bring it back though!

A "few" questions to the s10 Lite owners.

Hello!
I’m considering buying this phone and I’m heavily into customization, I have a few questions about what you can do to S10 Lite to personalize the experience and how far it’ll let me change things before I have to resort to root or custom ROMs that are risky and missing for now.
First, about the themes, I found two good customization apps for Samsung devices, Good Locks and #hex Installer, can you use together?
What’s the extent of their customization, using both or the best of them if you can only have one working, can you:
1. Have a custom accent color system wide? So the same color for toggles, volume slider, highlights, colored text, notifications, quick settings etc/ like on stock android?
2. Can you change quick settings buttons background shape?
3. Are you able to switch recents view to a vertical stack of cards with the clear button bottom center?
4. Can you change icons for individual apps with stock launcher?
5. Change the navigation bar height, button size and spacing between them?
6. I like two fonts, Ubuntu and Google Product Sans, is any of them available?
7. Where can I check Good Locks availability in my region? Also, can it become unavailable with updates?
8. Do 3rd party customization apps from play store work? Kwgt, Custom Volume Sliders, Custom Navigation Bar etc.?
Next, I have a few questions regarding general usability:
9. Can you get rid of google assistant/bixby? They can be installed, I just don’t want to ever see them or have them running when not launched.
10. Does the Always on Display work well, is it actually always on?
11. Can you have the AoD show 3rd party app icons with a notification counter?
12. Does it have any problems with 3rd party launchers, Nova specifically?
13. Have you tried the Non-root version of YouTube Vanced? Does it work without issues? Can you install it with MicroG and log in?
I’ve also heard that Samsung’s OneUI likes to kill apps and prevent them from running in the background.
14. Did you have any issues with widgets getting stuck, becoming unresponsive, not updating and not working properly in general because they get killed by the system, did you have any issues like this?
15. Did you have any problems with 3rd party app notifications? Are you getting notifications from 3rd party messaging, email and other apps? Do they still come in when the screen is locked and the phone is in deep sleep?
I’m sorry in advance, I know it’s a lot but I’m very used to having the phone set up my way and I don’t want to spend this kind of money only to have to immediately root it or put up with a phone that doesn’t work properly for me.
Lol.. This is huge. I'll reply to some.
7 Good lock is working fine. In my country is not available but no problem. You can download the apk, everything works. If you know what good lock can do, then most of your questions (1,2) are replied as you can change notifications colors etc, at least what good lock is letting you change. Also 3 yes, with good lock.
5 by changing dpi through developer setting you can shrink everything so shrink navigation bar. Other navigation bar apps also works.
8 kwgt etc working fine.
9 yes. Froze them and anythings else you want by package disabler pro app.
10 works fine. You select if you want it or not.
12 nova works fine. I actually can't answer about samsung launcher as i always use nova. If you use it, then most of your questions also being answered as you know what nova can do.
13 yes to all, i use it always. (I use the hacked completely black amoled version, not the gray one, last version).
14 I have a problem actually with 1 widget, eWeather. Is somehow change size some times, and when go to its nova page, it changes ok again.. But i haven't problems with any other.
15 I don't have any problem with notifications but phone is a bit strange. It has 2 deep sleep apps somehow and need to untick the apps you want to have notifications to both of them. It reminds me xiaomi
It is good as due to this probably it has amazing battery. But it is a bit aggressive i think. Some times i lost some notifications but it was probably my fault, I'm not sure. Anyway i don't think there is a problem there. But better have more answers to this.
My opinion is that the phone is fantastic especially in battery, but its all about what everyone needs more.
Perhaps my video there, the comment, some hacks, the description and xda link there may help you, read it. I updating everything useful i find by writing new comments there, so anyone interested check it by time to time. Most things i post there are working to most samsung phones.

Again, I can answer a few. Mine is completely stock (not rooted). I may have needed to change settings when I bought the phone, but I don't recall which ones.
9: I don't know about getting rid of the assistants, but I've never even noticed that they're present, so they're unobtrusive.
10: Yes, Always On Display does what you expect. I have mine set to switch off overnight, but that's entirely optional.
11: Yes, I get notification counters on things like Aquamail.
12: I've been using Nova since the day I bought it. No problems.
14/15: For context, I get annoyed by these kinds of issues, and I won't buy another Huawei phone for exactly these reasons. On the S10 Lite, as currently configured, I get all notifications and widgets update as expected (agenda, Google Keep etc.), so I'm happy enough. I had to turn off 'Adaptive Power Saving', 'Adaptive Battery' and 'Put unused apps to sleep' to achieve that, though, and I've added a number of apps to 'Apps that won't be put to sleep'.

Thank you very much guys! Your replies clarified a lot!
Did you/could you perhaps check if Good Locks and #hex Installer can be used together or if you have to pick one to customize the system?

I'm not sure if I worded it correctly in the OP so I fixed it now, but could you please clarify if this refers to the Always on Display?

Ah, sorry, misunderstood. I get 3rd party notification icons on the AOD but I've not seen a counter, I'm afraid.

I don't understand why.. One file name has the word "black" so i dont think i mistaken the files..
Try setting, go to general, display, and then choose the black theme therel settings - vanced setting - display settings (or something like this, i translate from my language), and there is also a black theme setting there. Although i does think this is the problem..
Try also the new version here :
(The specific link it's not pirate or something, it is only for vanced hack)
https://forum.mobilism.org/viewtopic.php?f=429&t=3888296&hilit=Vanced
You must install no root, black arm64 version. I think you need sai application from playstore to install the file you will download.

Thank you.

Received EMUI 11 beta on the international Mate 20 X

I tried to enroll my device in the beta project for EMUI 11. Has not got a feedback through the app, but a month later has received OTA EMUI 11.
No huge changes, bit for a reason the interface looke better (pretty much IOS 14ish. More fluid, better performance as well as few pits and pieces here and there.
So far:
Text optimised cropping. I think it was there already, but now works better.
Better multitasking with apps drawn in a window while ongoing background apps/ interface working simultaneously.
Better visuals, closer to IOS ones (don't know who follows who, got lost a while ago and I don't really care). Actually I like the EMUI idea being a middle ground between iOS and Android
On the other hand, I believe that WiFi is not right with some connectivity issues.
However it's still early days, let's see how it goes

How did you enroll ? Beta app doesn't shows any option. Did you enroll on Chinese beta web page ?

I applied to the international version. Hasn't got a reply. But 2 weeks later got the OTA update.
I'm still on EMUI 9.1 because EMUI 10 ruined the speaker sound quality. How is it on EMUI 11?
Oh and the multi screen dock: does it let you launch all the apps you have in split screen or in a floating window, or only some approved apps?

sound quality is veeery subjective, so cant comment on that. especially since i wasnt on 9.x for long, updated to 10 almost instantly.
as for the multi window option, it basically lets u add any app to a sort of quick select, from which u can then create a bunch of floating windows (resizeable)

Thanks for the reply.
Would you say the sound quality of the speaker is the same as with EMUI 10?
And for the floating windows: it let's you add any app that's installed on your phone? Even let's say the "Settings" app?

it seems to be a tad louder than before, but again, very subjective.
as for the floating windows: as far as i can see, it only covers user installed apps, no system apps.

Thanks mate. Sorry for all the questions but I want to be sure that I'm upgrading to something I'm going to be liking.
One last question, about the floating apps. Can you only launch a floating app from the apps you've put in the dock? Or can you also launch them from the whole list of apps you get when you press the "+" icon (or do you have to put them in the dock first)?

no worries, happy to help. the dock has a total of 15 slots and can be configured freely with any user installed apps. once added, u can then open the apps from the dock as floating windows.

And is there any other way to launch a floating window or go to split screen? Or can you only do it with apps that are in that dock?

the dock is not always showing, if that is your worry. there is a shortcut gesture, dragging from the side of the screen towards the center and then hold a bit, that brings up the dock.
if i remember correctly, there is a different gesture that can activate split-screen mode with currently running apps. dont remember what that was though (i only ever use one floating window at a time, usually for watching a video while surfing the net or texting)

welcome to the EVR-AL00 EMUI 11 family where are u located?
Italy
Did EMUI 11 introduce a tap-to-wake feature for the front screen? I read they might include a back panel tap feature, but that is of less interest to me.

lemme see what i can do mate
edit:
Uploaded on MEGA: https://mega.nz/folder/lPA3XSYB#K3sWqh0o0PGeUflujIq3vQ
Included MMS.apk as well as two services related to MMS (not sure if needed to install properly)
Also added the Call Recorder app since I saw so many people asking for it
Let me know if this works! Extracted it from the system partition in the "app" and "priv-app" folders.

Oh one last question: can you resize the floating window? EMUI 10.1 didn't let you resize it but maybe they've changed it in EMUI 11.
