Since the Mate 20 X display is AMOLED I thought I'd share this nifty Easter egg.
All you have to do is send a crescent moon emoji ( ? this one, specifically) to anyone in chat in Messenger. That should trigger the hidden menu.
If it doesn't, exit out of the app completely and enter back again. Then, long press on the sent moon emoji, and you will have the dark mode toggle pop up on your settings screen.
Enjoy dark mode.
And also make sure to update your Messenger. I told my friend about this trick this morning, it didn't work, so he checked for an update, applied it, then the trick worked.
Thanks! It must be the moon only in the message, I tried the crescent moon together with some text (explaining what I was doing ) first but that didn't work, then just the moon and voila, an animation and message that dark mode was available in settings.

Doesn't work. Where in the settings will the hidden menu be?
Edit. It's present as dark mode in settings.
Is this a joke? Cause I keep trying but cannot get this to work

The trick wasn't needed on regular messenger. But messenger lite doesn't seem to have this option.
What? The dark theme has been enabled for months without using any tricks. On the conversations window, click on your photo (on the top left) and you'll see the dark mode switch...

This has to be one of the best apps I have ever seen on android. Great drawing app and is free. The full version is only .99 too if anyone is a professional. This could turn your nook color into a viable sketch book.
Are you talking about SketchBook?

Whichever one is from Autodesk. You might be right about the name. I will edit.
anyone have an apk? The only access I have to the android market is through a cupcake emulator.
Here you go
by any chance has anyone installed this on the nook? any luck saving a drawing or similar? seems you probably need the menu button but the soft keys and the status bar is gone
SketchBook in fact, IS amazing! I splurged and bought the $0.99 version. Once I learned how to use layering and import pics, the whole process became very easy. Controls are very intuitive. Maybe we could post pictures we've done in this thread? I'd like to see how others have used it.
Looks interesting
How do you get it to go full screen? the notification bar covers up the bottom buttons.

To get the menu button to show up using SoftKeys, make sure SoftKeys is set as your default launcher. Single tap of the N button should take you to your favorite launcher (Zeam, ADW, LauncherPro, etc.) and a double-tap should open Softkeys where you can tap Menu > New or Gallery > Save or Don't Save.

Mine was full screen by default. Maybe try reinstalling? What are you using as your Launcher?
I just purchased Sketchbook Mobile app & it installed, but I don't see it in the app drawer. If I go to the market, it said "installed". If I click on it I get an option to open & I can & it works, but even after a reboot it doesn't appear in my app drawer.
Any ideas? BTW It doesn't show up in my uninstaller app either. Can I re download it somehow?
Update: Uninstalled & reinstalled & finally found it. Maybe I just missed it. Wasn't looking for "SBM" descriptor! They should have mentioned that it would be named that!!!

I use Zeam. I'm new to android though. Does the launcher influence whether or not the notification bar is visible in apps?
also, my dpi is set to 200. I've found that I can hit the button at the bottom by tapping just a hair above the notification bar.
It can. Under menu>preferences>general you'll find the fullscreen option. You also have the option to toggle it under the gestures menu in Zeam.

I did some drawing on my Nexus S some time ago, I attached the result. I'm still waiting for my NC to be delivered, can't wait to use SBM with a bigger screen!
patience paid off!
I remember first using that SB on my laptop and then it was the only reason that I was going to buy an iPad. I waited hoping that it would come to Android and my patience paid off. It's surprisingly stable on the NC but it's crazy fast on my Evo.
I love this app
Hello,
Is there any way to get rid of that ******* hold button on freex10 . i have pressed it like numerous times and it wont take long before i really bang my head on the wall .
Can we replace the phone apk ( i dont know what it is really called , Dialer app?)
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Two things, is the proximity sensor on the phone working? IE, does the phone screen black out when u put it up to your face?? If NOT, that is the main issue.
Two, you can go into settings and change the layout of the dialer for left or right handed and move the hold button away from your face!
Hope this helps,
Chris

I did check many a times ... i don't have this option . don't know why.. and think there is no way to over-ride the stock dialer app which shows ON-CALL . i am i wrong here ?( i wish i am )
and why is my right handed/left handed setting is missing ? "confused"
Haven't run z's rom since first beta, but on other aosp based 2.2's its there n on my 6.1.1cm rom I just looked it up..... hmmm, I am stumped... hit android market, should have a dialer option or two!!

i can CONFIRM that the settings ARE in FreeX10 Beta 4.
Go to your homescreens -->> press menu -->> settings -->> call settings -->> check left-hand mode (2nd last before "other call settings") -->> reboot
I have the same problem with the same rom. Yesterday I lost half of my story because of this . Changing the settings is not an option because I tend to switch sides a lot during a call. Might try another dialer.

Indeed, this happens to me too.
Settings/Personal/Security/Screen Lock - Set it to "none".
Thanks, that works.. I notice it took a few tries of unlocking first but then the setting took..
I haven't been able to get it to work either but I found a workaround
Download the app Shake from the Play Store. App icon is a phone with two blue arrows rotating.
Download OClock from the OStore
Disable the lock screen option from Slide to None. Found in Settings -- Personal & Accounts - Security
Open the OClock app and select a watchface
Open Shake app and configure, here's my settings
Action when shaken - Simple - Run an installed app - Selected Oclock
Sensor sensitivity 16
Check Start at phone start up
Check Active when screen is off
If you want the Omate to sleep faster after a shake to wake, change the Display timeout in Settings - Device - Display - Sleep
Hope this helps.
icon callisto 100 and ostore
just got this watch. it seems to have only one watchface on it the black and white analog. where is this ostore and how do i download new watchfaces to the watch? a link and instructions would be a great help thanks!

If you're in OUI2.0 launcher, wavy background, long press to bring up a menu. Then Add the Ostore to the homescreen.

OClock Watch Faces
I can't get the watch faces in Oclock to display 12 hour time. Is there a setting I can change? Some of the watch faces that should show the date or other info just have blank spots also. TS 1/8 1900, ensec + operative root.

Not that I've found. Just that one blocky looking one. I'm not much of a fan of it.
I wish they had an API to make your own too.
I've been using the Ubuntu Launcher as my "watch face" since it shows notifications and a big digital clock on the lock screen nicely.
There are some great looking new watch faces for the sony smartwatch 2 on the playstore. Does anyone know if these will work on the truesmart, callisto or aw 414???

When I try this, when I use shake, it does not show me the selected face. Instead, it brings me to the oclock faces selection page again. Any ideas?
Could anyone be so nice and post the Oclock app apk here? I would like to use it on my ZGPax. Or even better, the OStore, if it's compatible. Much appreciated. :fingers-crossed:
Edit: Nevermind, got them myself. Both work with no problems.
themes? and 12 hr mode?
I select the "Grandmaster" with the carbon fiber theme watch face. When I turn on the watch it reverts back to the default "grandmaster" Any way to save the carbon fiber grandmaster as default? Is there way to change to 12 hour mode and not use 24 hour mode?
Thanks

How do you change the different themes? I tried swiping in all directions, each clock only has on option. Come to think of it, I swear there was a pong clock shown in one of the videos months ago...
Edit: Oh, I needed the Oclock app. Except I can't use any as my lock screen, it says I need to purchase it?
I wasn't satisfied with any of the watch faces available, so I ended up disabling the lockscreen and adding another home screen to my launcher (I'm using ADW), installed UCCW and Zooper Widget, and added a full screen widget with time, date, weather and battery status. After testing a few widgets I settled for Iridescent UCCW, but there are many good alternatives like Primium or Square Clock.
I just need now a way to disable the touchscreen without turning it off.
Hello,
been loving my mate 10 which I own for 3 weeks now.. but there are just somethings that keeps bugging me. I try to check hi care to see but don't to use the phone to talk about something I know the support from our country can't answer.. So here are some questions that you guys might have some solution to...
1. Notofications DPI - been trying to resize this via dev mode, but to no avail.. Is it just me or that thing is really big?
2. mini display view when not using nav bar - no instructions how to do this is you don't like to use the nav bar and maximize the screen.
3. PiP - i know this doesn't work in youtube unless you are a red subscriber but, it doesn't work with chrome as well..
I'll try to add more if I see some, but the 1st one is tbd biggest problem I have. I tried going to a huawei store and they just showed me the mate 10 pro and p10 capable of minimizing font in notifs when view mode is set to small...

Same sentiments here. And it gets really annoying.
Pip works for me in chrome. While streaming just toutch homw button once. I use ogyoutube for background playback, download and pip.
So sorry if this has already been discussed but when I take a screenshot on my phone, whether it be pressing power and volume at the same time, or using the other 2 options to take a screen shot, I don't get that thumbnail image where you can select options to edit the picture, scrolling screenshot, etc.
I've searched everywhere for options, but can't find any answers online.
I see the thumbnail pop-up for literally a split second where no human can possibly select an option. The only other photo app I have installed on my phone is QuickPic but I don't think that's causing it.
Can anyone help me with this issue? The phone is only 3 weeks old and pretty stock in terms of apps on it. I keep everything very simple. Non-root of course, no mods whatsoever.
thank you in advance!

It got broken 2 updates ago for me. Broke the floating bar I was using as well. I'm using an alternate until they fix their broken updates or I just get sick of all these bugs
Did you turn your animations all the way off. If so you won't see the thumbnail with the options.

Pretty much as far as I can remember since there has been options added and a window popup made rather than just a notification for a screen shot. AOSP ROMs that I have developed for call for a window animation value, and unless it is set for a hard coded value, it will default to what the system window animation value is.

My issue is the screenshot will save, the SS will show in the notification pull down, but the edit option doesn't do anything anymore. Only share and delete work from the pull down. This is since the June 1 security patch. That patch also broke my floating bar for screenshots, screen recording, crop etc. I am having to use a 3rd party floating bar that constantly turns itself off when the phone goes in deep sleep. Even have the battery saving turned off for it. Why would they break such an important feature.
