Android pie update - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers

1. Is there an option to move the time to the top right instead of left side
2) Can the clock style be changed when using the S view cover on S9 +. I can change the clock on the lock screen but seems to be
unable to change when close the cover and the clock that shows up thru the cover is not changeable?
3) Device maintenance/battery . Under the Useage by apps ...... Today heading : all the apps are shown that use the battery. Before the pie update there was a button to " Close all"
Where is it now and how can you close all these draining apps at once. Why has been removed? You have to click on each app and toggle a switch to close it which is tedious etc.
There is about 20 apps using battery and s/be able to close all of them at once to save the battery. Any suggestions?
Thx

Re download systemui tuner and there's the option, thank you.

@1, move the clock with Samsungs QuickStar. There just came a Pie compatible version... also support to put the clock to center.

@3. also trying to find it.It really makes me headache.

First download Good Lock from
apps.samsung.c*m/appquery/appDetail.as?appId=com.samsung.android.goodlock
Then Quickstar from
apps.samsung.c*m/appquery/appDetail.as?appId=com.samsung.android.qstuner
Open Good Lock (first app above) and click on Quickstar after both are downloaded. You will want to then tap on "Clock Position"

Then select where you want it to be.

Be sure to replace the "*" in the first 2 links with a "o". I'm new so cannot post links.
Good luck, enjoy [emoji106]

[Q] Change quick launch shortcuts?

I was wondering if there's a mod out there to allow you to change the quick launch shortcuts at the bottom of the screen? Or am I just stupid and you can do this with a stock phone?
I realize when we get some new ROMs going this will be added in, I'm just enjoying my stock ROM with Da_G's OC kernel and CWM for now.. I don't really have the free time to be playing around with new ROMs right now, but a flash-able mod would be great for this since I only really use two of the shortcuts.
Have you tired a custom launcher? I just got my note today and the first thing i did was install the zeam launcher.

App drawer - menu - edit - customizable grid - tap and drag.
Okay.. I was trying to stay away from using a different launcher, I've tried them in the past and always ended up uninstalling them after a few hours.
One more step to add to mikegehl's write-up: Then Menu > Save, or your changes won't stick.
Why they had to make it so much more difficult than any other position on the screens (simple drag-n-drop to remove, press-n-hold to add) is beyond me. But, it is one of my very few complaints about the stock UI.
How to change quick launch icons.
Ok I wish this was a little easier but there is a way to change the quick launch icons (all but the applications icon of course). Just click on Applications icon, click on the menu button, click on view type, make sure its on customizable grid, then click menu again, then edit. You can now drag icons (upto 4 on the note) on and off the quick launch. remember to click menu, save once you're done or it will revert back. Hope this helps!

That would be awesome, I know you can customize status bar on CM but that would be great on stock. In case there is a solution by now, please let us know!
use nova launcher that can remove status bar,u can still draw curtain down,i think apex launcher also has this feature..

Gave it one star. Doesn't do what you said, only adds notifications
Did you ever find a solution? This is especially irritating considering that I installed Battery Widget Reborn and it has a more readable icon that sits next to the default one.
I have a Verizon S3, but here is what I found, just have a question...
I did a search looking to delete my battery icon from my status bar now since I have the percentage up there. I have already found the stat_sys_battery.xml file but I had a couple quick questions. (got my info from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010487 )
I downloaded 7Zipper from the market, open the SystemUI.apk with it ("Open with Zip Viewer), go to res/drawable and I navigate to stat_sys_battery.xml, the only option I get is to extract it, not delete it. Does this need to be done via a computer to actually delete it or will "extracting it" just remove it from the .apk?
Also, I have 2 res folders: 1 dated 09 Nov 12 & one dated 01 Jan 80
With that said, I also have 2 drawable folders, both with the same dates as the res folders.
It appears they are the same, but look like they have the same things in them. I guess in the end my question is, Is this the proper way to delete this on the phone or should I plug it in and delete from the computer?
Install JKay framework (link found in my signature), and then buy the deluxe app from the play store to customize it. you can hide or center clock, alarm, battery and play with it the way you want. It also contains lots of other features

Discussion for BoredSigns — Custom SignBoard Widgets

Ever wish that LG had given the V10/V20 more widgets in the second screen? Well, wish no more! BoredSigns adds many more widgets to your SignBoard (get it? SignBoard --> BoredSigns?), ones you may need and ones you may not.
The best part about BoredSigns? It doesn't need root! That's right; you can get some brand new widgets on your completely Stock V10 or V20. In the future, ADB may be necessary for certain widgets, but right now, you don't need your computer at all.
Current widgets:
— Information
— Weather
— Image
— Navigation Bar
This app is open source! If you aren't willing to pay $0.99 to buy it, feel free to build it for yourself. I only ask that it not be re-distributed without substantial modifications (i.e. more than changing the theme and name).
GitHub: https://github.com/zacharee/BoredSigns
Google+: https://plus.google.com/communities/105544332208886942595
Feel free to open an issue on GitHub to suggest a new widget!
Package name is com.zacharee1.boredsigns
I already have it and its working flawlesly ?

I bought it in the play store (I want to support any development for the 2nd screen).
I have to thank you just for the simple fact that at first, I didn't know how to run it... so I went into the 2nd screen options. I had no idea that I had other widgets that I could run. I never thought to tap the "..." on "Show when main screen on" so I have been stuck with the basic options this whole time. Worth my $1.05 right there.
So, after using it for a few minutes, I noticed the persistent notification for BoredSigns, so I long-pressed it and turned off all notifications. Will this negatively affect the operation of the app? I did notice that when I swiped my notification shade down, or when switching between widgets, the 2nd screen options would come on, so I restarted the phone. It doesn't seem to be doing that anymore, but I did have to toggle weather on and off a few times to get a real location and not 100*F in Philadelphia.
Bonus question... where can I find out more about the "yet unreleased AOSP implementation of the 2nd screen?"
Found the perfect image for the second screen a mod one of the best football team in the world...perfect fit and color !
Happy user here....thank you again for this :highfive:
So someone suggested I do a navigation bar widget. After lots of Java reflection (the actual tool, not thinking about my life with Java), I went with a simple Accessibility Service.
Because of that, these functions will be available:
- Back
- Home
- Recents
- Split Screen
- Power
- QS Pulldown
- Notification Pulldown
If there are any other (simple) buttons you might want, suggest them. I'll add them in if I can.
Here's what it looks like right now:

Borderlight Live Wallpaper for Poco F1?

Borderline live wallpaper seems very nice.
Wonder if poco f1 will have such thing?
Even though it's really meant for amoled screens, tried it on my Poco F1 anyways. Looks nice. Have to play a little with settings to get the corners and notch right. Go for it. ?
Copy this and import using app.

[APP] Second Screen Status Bar

NOTE: ALPHA PHASE HAS FINISHED.
If anyone wants to continue using this app which is going to be pro only for the moment, contact me (tg group and channel)
THIS PROJECT IS BEING UPDATED AND SUPPORTED AND I DON'T PLAN TO ABANDON IT.
If you ever wanted to have a working status bar in the second screen in a stock ROM, this is the thread you were looking for.
I have coded a widget for the second screen that replaces what the stock status bar does (and even more perhaps).
It has been months of coding.
As always, you have to install the app and open second screen settings and enable the widget.
If you want to hide the status bar, there are several ways. I do it using an xposed app to change status bar height. If you don't want to use xposed, you will have to go the long way of modding system. I may do it some day when I finish coding but there is a lot of stuff in my to-do list.
Don't forget to use the settings option to set some of the available features in this release.
If you find any bugs, I will need a log (logcat) with both log settings enabled. I will try to fix any bugs.
Check the attached screenshots!

I have not been trying much how to hide the status bar as I need time to code the app but afaik that can't be done because it will mess full screen apps (and maybe the notifications pull down because it's not drawn below the status bar but over it). Let me know if I'm wrong or if you know how to make it work correctly. Thanks
If you use any app that changes its notification icon, like a battery meter app, speedmeter app, weather app, etc, you will see the icon does not get updated. This is because I tried to optimize everything as much as possible so the app is coded to get the icon just once. The PRO version, if it ever gets to be released (depending on the interest of the users), will have some code to handle those apps which very little battery drain (which actually depends on how buggy or optimized is the notification posting from the app).
In the tg channel there is a video showing it.
@Daved+ tested works fine, thanks for this. I'm glad that it doesn't go away suddenly like previous solutions. I'm interested in buying pro version, jus need to figure out a way to disable the status bar without going the Xposed way. Tried Nova launcher hide option, it takes away the second screen as well, so no luck yet.
Edit: quote op correctly
Working great on my unlocked US996.
Would love to have single line height rather than stacked. Too cluttered with two lines of icons for my taste.
Thanks!

AFAIK you have to patch system to change the height of the status bar (you have to use apktool to decompile and compile).

Great to hear it works in different models. I can do other layouts, I have several ideas, this one was to use the second screen as much as possible to make the screen look bigger so no empty spaces in the corners. If you want, let me know your ideas, but I also need support to continue development.

Think there's a way to replace the default screen Date & Time Screen-Off Widget with yours when the main screen is off?
In the past, I have resorted to using battery percentage apps to get realtime charge levels during screen-off. I'd love to streamline that, using your app; which clearly has the potential to replace the default widgets.
