New to this forum so apoligies if this post is in the incorrect place.
I rooted and installed CM9 last night and tried to follow the noob guide which was not that clear especially when you don't know what flash means. I know I am a real noob I ended up finding a great video by searching Samsung galaxy s2 root. Had all the links and latest version of cf root.
I have to say CM9 is what the S2 should of been like !
I have a few questions though. Sorry in advance if these are noobie questiins.
1. On stock ics for my device when i chose a picture from gallery for wallpaper it would let you choose if you wanted it in portrait or across 3 parts. Now I have a box which I have to adjust and I can never get the size correct !!!
2. How do I get a seperate picture on my lock screen.
3. How do I get camera to save to SD card , there is no option in camera settings ?? would this be because google devices have no sd slot ? is so how can i change this?
4. How do I get the cool unlock effect then after I do that get the pin option ?
5. Anyway of adjusting keyboard options like key size (way to small at the moment) and feedback as vibration is too strong at present.
6. How do I get folders in the app draw ? Can only do it on homescreen. Very annoying as could do this previously and I am ocd with these things.
7. Found that if I use the camera there is a very slight pink splodge in the center of the screen. Never had this before ?
8. No 3G but i do get the H symbol occasionallyy pop up??
9. Battery life poor and really really much worst whilst using gps.
10. gps takes at least 5 mins to get a signal on navigation / maps even when i have it fully on.
11. How can I get notification numbers on the text and email symbol on the homescreen ? beleive its on stock ics.
12. Anyone know if whilst in rom manager I can update to the latest nightly build and is this the best way to update my phone now i am on cm9 ?
13. Sometimes my homescreen swipes are inaccurate ?
14. keyboard presses sometimes dont vibrate but letter appears?
15. anyone know how to get music player to look like this. http://www.xda-developers.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/cm9-music.jpg?139d23. the cm9 one looks grey and dull and has less options.
16. my videos on my sd card wont play ??
17. lost notes which came with the s2? where can i find it ??
18. how can i get gestures like cm7
19. how can i change themes as the option seems to be unavailable in the menu e.g its there but wont let me press it ?/
Thanks in advance. I know there are lots of questions here and all the little things here won't put me off using cm9 as its sooo much better than stock !!
+1 with the inaccurate home screen swypes and also when turning a page in moon reader pro....

blimey.. well..
answers to some.. .
2. not at the moment
3. Cant at the moment (use ICS+ Camera from play store if you want that)
4. i guess you mean Faceunlock.. read the CM9 discussion thread lots of questions answered in the first post)
6. is being worked on in nova Launcher but no others at present..
7.KNOWN ISSUE for most people since the phone came out...
10. there is a GPS fix you can get but you just need to experiment with radios etc,... again search the CM9 discussion thread
11.. being worked on on various launchers not a CM9 issue (believe Nova and Apex are working on this)
19. Themes are not essential as it is only a nightly build ..
remember most of these issues are known about and are varying in importance on when they are worked on.
thanks
Thanks so much for the answers.

Let me google that for you
Google ?
No point using Google. If I had found the answer there then I would not have created the thread. I have also emailed / posted cm direct but they state they won't reply or that in so many words. I am assuming that battery life has reduced due to rom but don't know ? That's why this thread was created ?

And yet, his answer provided you with the information you needed to find out yourself.
Common cause of battery drain is wakelocks, and his provided google search linked you to a ton of threads and links which detail what to do to find out what is causing wakelocks, and how to try to prevent them from happening. That will improve battery life.
"No point in using Google".... C'mon, dude.

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?

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
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.
https://youtu.be/VGiItteDcfw
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 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.

How to remove navigation bar (three button) in Android 11. NOTE: Root is required to use this method!
Hi guys! Please either move or remove this thread if it's either in the wrong place or covered by another thread. This thread is intended to walk through removing the three-button navigation bar in Android 11 since the traditional way ('wm overscan') doesn't work anymore.
This is useful for if you want to use an alternative gesture system, such as Fluid Navigation Gestures (FNG). Before you get started with the below, be sure you have enabled the replacement system first. FNG's built in navbar disabler doesn't work on Android 11, so you don't need to have this switched on.
Assuming you have root already (there should be plenty of tutorials available to help you out on this), all you really need to do is download Substratum Lite and nonavbar.apk (available at: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AsqLR2yZd3fMiaV4fcCSAw7trgl8AQ?e=e9ncai). Choose to install nonavbar.apk, then it should show up as a theme in 'lite'. After pressing the NoNavBar theme, you should see 'Android System (android [11])' to the left of a checkbox. After checking this box, press the '1 SELECTED' button on the bottom right. Then, press 'Install selected', restart, and get back to this screen to finally 'Enable selected'.
See for screenshots: https://photos.app.goo.gl/HL48xhsZMPMkmcdV7
And at that, you should have your replacement gestures as your primary input now! Enjoy!
I'm by no means an expert, so my ability to help with questions is limited. Hope this helps!
Works perfectly on OP8 Pro with latest Android 11 update. Thanks a lot.
I would appreciate if there is the way to completely
hide status bar in android 11 with "no display cutout magisk module".
Been searching this for awhile now. Thanks for the solution, works great
Amazing! Thanks so much for looking into this, was very torn away when I couldn't disable nav bars given I used immersion mode with FNG on Android 10. Tried this on android 11 and it worked. Actually for Galaxy OneUI devices I don't need to be rooted.
You can just use the substratum lite and install synergy - OneUI compiler app. It will apply the modifications on a built in OneUI theme.
Question; how did you find or created that nonavapp.apk?
Since android 11 came out and google pulled that overscan crap, I have been scouring the net for a solution to use FNG. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
As the creator of the Fullscreen/Immersive gestures module, I'll just say, thanks for offering users the ability to use their favorite alternative navigation methods on Android 11
It's really unfortunate that people have to be either forced to use Android's standard navigation gestures (which quite a few people dislike) or an impossible to be hidden 3 button navbar (due to the removal of Overscan)
Keep up the good work
On Pixel 5, after enabling NoNavBar, there's a delay when switching between camera modes. It goes from 1 sec without it enabled to almost 5 second after enabling it
Works perfectly fine on my 7T Pro running OOS Beta 1! Thanks!
Works on great on mi A3! Thanks a lot!
Works great, but, could you possibly build it for the "normal" substratum?
Thanks a lot
Excellent work!
I was looking for a solution to this problem with FNG.
Now, If I can say something about this, in my case, the Home Gesture (Swipe Up) dindt work. I reboot the phone and nothing happened. After some minutes, I decided to try this:
Configuration > Adittional Settings > Full Screen Display > Activate the option "Full Screen Gestures".
This way, I could to use the Swipe Up gesture.
To finish, I would like to know what to do to undo all this configuration when I decide not use FNG anymore. I'd really appreciate it.
NOTE: I have a xiaomi phone (MI 9).
Substratum lite is free, but it requires another app called synergy (it's just $2, but it's annoying to have to pay for it). haha
Either way, this tutorial worked very well for my galaxy s10+, so that I could use FNG instead of the new navigation bar from android 11 (the new navigation bar is pretty good actually, but it's annoying as hell that it didn't let me disable the Google Assistant shortcut that is activated by holding the mid button). Thank you for this solution!
Thanks for this apk. I used to use XDA navigation gestures a lot on A10. Which I really miss a lot on Note 20 OneUi 3.1. so question is can I use this on a non rooted OneUi 3 with synergy and substratum lite?

This works perfectly on my OnePlus 8T on Android 11, so it should work the same on OP8.
Thank you so much @Veiran for sharing with us, it has been many months that a lot of us were searching for the solution. I didn't know that this was posted back then in Nov 2020, but I am glad to find it today!
Is the source code open for this?

Link is working.
@Fr1day_13 - thanks. I tried it under windows and it works, but not under Android. My fault!
The tablet received a major update the day before yesterday. It was 4.0 GB in size, bumped Android version from 11 to 12. Otherwise there were almost no good changes.
Changes I noticed:
Android Version 11 > 12
like on the phones no dark mode settings for individual apps
Material You support (but also like on phones no settings)
Security patch to October 2022
Launcher:
appicons change their positions during the update
grid is no longer adjustable & changes automatically (!) after display rotation (4x6, 6x4), therefore the icons also move
there is a large margin to the left and to the right, both orientations
many app names must be abbreviated with "..."
the new widgets are finally here, BUT this restricts all other widgets in size & position (There may be gaps that are large enough but can only be filled with apps)
Notifications and Control Center:
background Blur for notifications and quick settings: "simple-blur" > "real-glass-blur"
the notifications are displayed in a smaller space in landscape (like phone in portrait)
thus also more abbreviations than before
the control center has been updated and now looks more like (a fake of) iOS
One thing is striking: some things that were previously adapted to the display size are now more optimized for phones. This can be seen from the fact that, for example, the notifications are only in the middle of the screen and look more like a "portrait on landscape". As a result, the content no longer fits in completely and is abbreviated to "..." for most notifications. Something similar can also be observed in the launcher: The icons always have a large distance to the edge, they are so close together that the app names have to be abbreviated with "...".
Would it be possible that the base of the ROM was changed to that of the phones? I don't know how to check that, but I think in this case it would be possible to release the xiaomi.eu ROM for the tablet.
So don't update yet right? My Pro wifi version still stuck on 13.0.10.
I would ditch MIUI altogether if you're on the Elish (WiFi only) model.
I'm using Arrow OS (A12) and this is just 100x more smooth than the stock MIUI ROMs.
It BAFFLES me that this is the case.... team that makes the device should be able to optimise it as much as possible, yet some random built ROM from source is far superior. Sheer incompetence....
There's a Telegram group if anyone is interested.

I would say it's a matter of getting used to it. After a few weeks I no longer noticed the disadvantages. On the contrary, I'm happy about (the reintroduced) real glass blur and Material You support (especially Gboard).
The fact that the app icons in the launcher always switch between 6x4 and 4x6 (screenshot attached) is also the case with the new 12.5 tablet. If you want a pen/keyboard and up-to-date security patches, there is no way around it.
Unfortunately, I discovered something else (Does not have to be related to the update): if you leave Firefox, just to answer a message, for example, everything is reloaded. Means when I read an article I end up at the beginning, when I pause at a film I'm back at the beginning, if I want to add a photo to this post I need 5+ tries because the page will refresh in the time of choosing... Unfortunately, adding a lock to the app in the app overview does not change anything.

Hi friend,
I'm just wondering if you're able to use desktop mode or anything similar with Arrow OS. A big feature I'm looking to use with the wifi tablet is desktop mode (connect keyboard and mouse)

There's a bug in that the on screen keyboard doesn't come up by default... So I plugged in a usb c hub with keyboard and mouse. All worked great.

Cool! Are you using the desktop mode APK (launcher) do do your work or just using it in the regular tablet mode

Regular tablet mode, but I would expect that means your hardware should work as you expect. End of the day, you could easily flash back to stock.
