Hi there,
I just received the update from Samsung via OTA of Android Pie. After it was concluded, i noticed some strange translucid bars on both sides of the screen. At first, i thought it was some kind of bug related to the Edge Panel. However, when i slide it, it shows the navigation bar buttons.
I couldn't find anything like that in any other XDA post, nor Reddit, nor anywhere else. It doesn't seem to be a feature (or maybe it is, but too advanced for me) and i'd like to know if you have faced something similar. You can find the evidence, here:

(new members can't post links, apparently)
If there's no workaround this, then i'll probably just factory reset it.

Look for "One hand operation+" app and you can disable the side navigation handles there.

Hello all;
I have been searching and searching, but so far have not found an answer to this. I have a Verizon LTE Galaxy Tab 10.1. The issue I have is that I have a 3 year old daughter that loves to play with it. The problem is so far I have found no way to completely lock the notification bar. I have found apps that lock the back and home buttons, but not the rest of the buttons, the notifications, and more importantly the settings menu.
Here are the exact details of my hardware.
Model: SCH-I905
Build: HTJ85B.EL01.SCH-I905.EL01
Kernel: 2.6.36.4-cyanogenmod+ [email protected] #1
Does anyone know of any solution for my situation?
Thanks in advance for any help!

I assume you mean you want to let her play without the worry of her pressing and opening other apps?
(LOL, 3 year old opening and reading your mails *sarcasm*)
But yes this can be possible. I however am confused, what would you like to disable? The hardware keys or the touch keys? Don't think disabling the hardware key's is a good idea, incase the tablet hangs up. But I guess it's all based on your reply.

All I am looking to disable is the soft keys across the bottom. Currently I am running the latest released Verizon build so it has the TouchWiz skin/interface installed. I am looking to disable all the soft keys across the bottom of the UI. Most important is the pop up menu you get when pressing the clock area in the bottom right of the screen.
Thanks again.
Try the app called Hide Bar - it will completely hide the bottom system bar (not just dim like when looking at photos) and only re-appears when you use a certain gesture...
hope that works for your needs!

I searched the market for "Hide Bar" and cound not find anything that matched that name, but I did find an app called "No System Bar" and it did the trick wonderfully.
Thank you very much for the help on this one. It was driveing me nuts.

I've installed the PACman rom to try out, I've plenty of experience with other roms so installation no problem.
My problem comes from one of the features (no idea where it comes from) where I've got a float round semi-transparent blob on the left hand side of the screen which seems related to notifications somehow. It wasn't there initially, I think I pressed something in the notification bar to bring it up.
I find it annoying and gets in the way, but I can't find in the options how to get rid of the wretched thing.
Since I don't know what it's called, searching is pretty much useless. The thread in the development area posts to a place for "new to", however that's a dead link and I can't post anything there to ask or get that corrected since I don't have enough posts.
Can anyone help?
My guess is that it is Halo. Have not tried PAC so can't help u to get rid of it but guess there is a way to turn it off. Good luck
PS. try longpressing it and see if you can delete it.

The above poster is correct, it's called Halo. To delete, double tap but don't let go of the second tap. You can then drag it up, to a red circle at the top of the screen and delete it. There will always be an option to turn it back on, from the notification shade though. That's unless PACman has an option to completely disable it, I know Rootbox does. Watch this video to see what it does/ is intended for, it's more than just a notification manager http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5WljHcOyXs

heyy how is the battery life of the rom and what bugs doest it have?
Thanks
Thanks for the info, I managed to get it turned off again. I'll come back and take a look at it properly later, see if I can get used to it, or find a way of making it more to my liking.
Running themer on my stock G2. I really like it but have an issue when often upon waking up the phone, the icons are shifted down and off the screen a bit. This ususally corrects itself after a while. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Sorry for the links not working, apparently I haven't posted on the forums enough. Thanks.

Is the issue just with Icons or does it happen to the widgets as well?
Do the themes you use have the status bar locked in place, or is it hidden until you slide down to display it?
I have yet to see this on any of our test phones.

It happens with the status bar shown or auto hidden. I've attached a couple of more photos of similar issues using other themes. In the one with the white back ground, check out the clock hands. It seems that it may be related to wake up? After I unlock and my home screen appears, the home buttons kind of slide up from the bottom. You can actually see the screen sort of adjust after the home buttons slide up. Sorry again for the links not working directly from the message. The forum won't let me post links just yet since I haven't made enough posts.

Ahhhh... those shots were helpful, but you mentioning the fact that the bar slides up from the bottom is really interesting and may just be the cause of this issue. We unfortunately do not have a G2 in the office to test this on.
Here is what I am thinking. If I run my N5 with a Paranoid Android Rom, or any other that allows me to remove the software navigation keys and replace it with the ring navigation, the aspect of the screen;s drawable area changes as far as Themer is concerned. In essence it makes my N5 a GS4 or HTC1 to Themer.
What I think may be happening on your device is very similar. I believe when you unlock the phone the aspect ratio of the draw-able area on the screen, may be reporting back to themer as larger than it really is, then the software keys finally slide into place and Themer takes a few seconds to realize the it.
Ill bring this to the attention of our Devs and see what they think.

Just a little more information. I think what you describe happening is correct. I was playing around with "Blades" set as my theme. After I unlock (pattern) the home buttons slide up and you can sort of see the main background adjust to the new screen size. It just looks like the widget parts don't adjust. If I long press and then change the default home screen to 1 and apply, it reloads the theme and everything looks OK and everything is in place.
I also noticed, if I sleep the phone with an app open, like the browser, it wakes to that app. The home buttons still slide up upon waking but when I return to my homescreen everything looks to be in place.
I hope this helps you guys troubleshoot. Other than this small issue, I love themer! Thanks! Let me know if there is any other information I can provide to help you sort this out.
Same issue on LG 4x HD... i hope the devs solve this problem, cuz it's really great app, a way better than buzz launcher. Keep the good work guys. Issue seems to be like some incorrect columns vs. rows settings or maybe just the resolution 1280x720is not supported ?

For all of you still having issues with the LG device.
We have a work around for you.
This is NOT a fix from our end ... yet, but it will resolve the issue on your device.
The fix is pretty simple, you have two choice.
One, turn off your lockscreen on your device.
If this is not an option for you due to security concerns, then you can simply install an alternate lockscreen app from the market.
The LG lockscreen on these devices is the culprit, disabling/replacing it will fix this issue.
Since installing Lollipop 5.02 I notice that when there now appears to be a "feature" that calls in google search when a swiping up from the bottom of the screen in the region of the home button.
I find this to be a flipping nuisance when scrolling through pages of info - I seem to have a tendency to place my swiping finger near the middle of the screen and keep getting google starting up all the time.
I don't recall seeing this in KitKat so I assume it came with Lollipop.
Does anyone know where to disable this "feature", it's driving me up the wall.

It is extremely annoying. I know some Xposed modules for HTC phones have an option to disable it all together, but so far I haven't seen anything similar for Sony's UI.
I use this app to make it less annoying..it just reassigns the Google shortcut to the app itself, which then makes the swipe up do nothing (except for the brief animation): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.AdrianCampos.swipeuputility
Thank you, thank you, thank you for that link.
There has to be an app for everything nowadays!
So it appears the function is baked into the firmware, that explains why I could not find a way of disabling it.
At least this app minimises the disruption to workflow and restores a little bit of sanity.
Anyone being bugged by the swipe up feature - install this app and be happy
Hello,
Sorry if this is in the wrong section. I'm just curious if it would be possible to remove that little notification "bubble" curve which indicates if you have reached the top or bottom of a page. I don't even know what that little thing is called, and I'd rather remove it as it's rather useless and I don't like the feature at all.
I'm running rooted Lollipop with Nova Launcher on Mlais M52, cheap china phone. Asked my friends with Marshmallow and seems like they are not having that "bubble" on every single menu, just WhatsApp or FB messenger. I'm getting it even in app drawer which makes it rather annoying as I prefer to scroll from top to bottom instead of left and right.
Found something from StackOverflow, but seems like the feature is not called "FadingEdge". I'll add a screenshot with that "bubble curve" if my explanation was way too confusing

Couldn't figure how to upload a direct screencap to the reply. Here you go:

bump, do anyone know even what's the feature called?
