possible to extend edge panel? - T-Mobile Note 7 Questions & Answers

coming from the note 4 edge to the note 7 I have grown accustomed to an actual edge panel and miss it greatly. i cant stand that i have to choose a specific location for the panel to reside rather than being able to swipe from anywhere...
i have already increased the size to its max so i know it shouldnt be more than a few lines of code to make it even larger... but how possible is it?
something that xpose could tackle or would the bootloader need to be unlocked with a modded ROM?

We're talking bootloader unlocked status here

Edge shortcuts and Edge Notification

Hi,
Does A8+ will support EDGE shortcuts like its there in S8(Swipe from right edge of the screens to get options.)? Also does it support Edge Lighting Effects for Notifications? If not with the current version, in future?

Currently it doesnt support EDGE shortcuts or notifications. It is an exclusive feature of phones with Edge display. The chances of getting them in future updates is nil.

Let me know if i am wrong, Both shares same screen types right? Also A8+ has Samsung Pay(Swipe up from bottom), There will get a small borders with space for Samsung Pay, Similarly its easy to implement from the right side for Quick Shortcuts?

It's not hw related, simply Samsung doesn't adds Edge features to non-Edge devices firmwares. We added Edge features even on flat devices :silly:

Note 9 Samsung Notes app. Please help

Dear All,
I have been using the Snote apk i got off Sam mobile, but today I started trying Samsung notes. What I can't figure out is, when you use the Create note shortcut (when one comes out) you can expand the new note and write from the very edge of the screen. But when you save it and edit it (or do a new note within the app,) it will not let you write on the edge of the screen. Instead this is used to scroll up and down using the pen. People moaned the Note 8 was not wide enough, and I agreed. I think the Note 9 does feel wider.....but then they limit your writing width space by giving you a slider bar! Really! Lol.
Does anyone know if you can turn the slider off? You can go up and down pages on everything else without the need for a side slider on both sides of the screen!
Many thanks.
Matthew

This seems to be just what Samsung decided on margins (there's the same blank space on the left too) ... if you go in the "Brush" tab you get edge to edge again, but then it is added to the note as an inserted image with those same margins. I don't see, or have ever read of a way to turn this off or adjust margin width.
This isn't an issue for me as I don't really go the far to the edge- pen often slips off edge if I get too close to the curve. Plus, I prefer S-Note which doesn't have these margins.
Sorry, this isn't much help... maybe go back to S-Note (there is an official apk on the Galaxy App Store)?

Hi - no thats ok, thank you for replying! S-note is good, and i have used it always on the note 8, its only trouble is, the pen is way less reponsive with s-note in comparison with Samsung notes - so its a shame. Its not the end of the world.
thanks though.

I guess it's a case of personal preference. I find the Samsung notes a downgrade from the S-note and was a shame that Samsung removed the creative features of the S-note app (photo note, idea sketch, easy chart etc). The device is made complete by the software so I cant see the sense in removing useful software which was productivity enabled! I have all these features enabled however (thanks to the guys here) so perhaps you might feel differently if u had those features enabled on the S-note. I know there is a Note 8 thread somewhere and this was discussed and resolved.

AOD/ambient notifications question

I'm thinking of getting either a Note 9 or an S10 to replace my Pixel 2 XL. Been searching for some info about how screen-off notifications are handled but haven't been able to find it, hoping someone here will help me out. Last time I owned a Samsung device (S8+), I found I didn't like the way the always-on display was utilised as much as I like it on Google devices. Wondering if it's changed with more recent Samsung UIs. When the screen is off (but AOD is on), what happens when a new notification comes in? Does it wake the screen, does the notification show in an "ambient" version like on stock Android, or do you just see the icon and not get the text at all? And, since I'll have the exynos version and have the bootloader unlocked, is there a way to enable the ambient behaviour if it's not stock? Thanks!
I have mine set to not show, I been meaning to get that working so I'll try to get some screenshot tonight and post!
Hopefully maybe someone else will also!

Project : petition to get true fullscreen under developer options (no more black bar)

Hi dear members.
Long story short, i am fed up with the display setting that it's supposed to force fullscreen on selected apps but that does nothing 90% of the time at best. I also noticed that many people over here and reddit hoped that developpement would help bringing this to life with time.
I see that we couldn't find a sustainable solution for this, no modding, no rooting, no custom rom...
Only "app cloner" manages the result but doesn't work with many apps.
I wish we could have a developer option allowing the notch to be ignored system wide. Even if it means losing that circle portion of the display with app details being rendered behind the punch hole.
I bought into losing a small circle, not an entire portion of my screen. End result is that the screen panel is bigger than the galaxy s9 (or my previous lg v30) but in reality there is less usable screen space with this phone.
If we manage, all of our apps could take advantage of the entire screen. Too many apps are cut on top or on the side (landscape). Other 16/9 apps arend centered (fullscreen browser videos, many games, video editing software,... I always went "immersive mode" with all my previous devices but with the Galaxy s10, that's impossible except for (almost exclusively) the gallery app and YouTube.
TLDR : i wish we could get true immersive mode system wide if we wanted to.
I would like us to launch a petition that we would show Samsung via Twitter or something. English not being my native language, is also need help to write it's description in a concise way.
If enough people would mind being part of this, or helping for visibility (like push for a front page article on xda, share with the other s10, s10e, s10+, note 10 forums...) That would be great. Not only for our devices, as power users but also, for future buyers since the gs11 will most likely have the same notch as the note 10 series.
Many thanks in advance !!
note 10 plus fullscreen immersive
Thanks much for posting this. I'm up to as well to get this done. I have done the immersive on other Samsung phones, s9 plus, note 9. Believe it or not this was the main reason I went on to upgrade to the this phone with the main purpose of doing the ADB Commands and get it full immersive but little did I know this is not possible with the note 10 plus. it's a disgrace that Noone seems to care about this
What apps specifically don't work with full screen. Everything I use is full screen and if not I change the aspect ratio on the app settings and it works fine.

It is definitely possible.
Search for "notch" module in Magisk.
Install it and then go to Settings-Developer-Notch -> select last one, no cutout.
Now immersive mode will actually be full screen. Problem is, right padding needs adjusting, otherwise the status bar icons will sit underneath the camera.
-----
It's not like samsung dev hasn't thought about it. But they went in the end with the lesser devil, disable the whole notch bar.
The main problem being that apps will not know to go around the camera. Nor have dynamic paddings for icons and buttons.
So for example with immersive mode on (full screen, no black bar) on all apps. You will notice that almost every app has the three dotted button, icon in the corner, which will be hidden under the camera. Samsung QC will never officially allow this.
Perhaps that's why Note10, S20 and the others, have the camera in the middle. Using immersive mode, will not cover much important info, so we might see it in the future on those phones.
But as it stands, S10 (or any corner cutout phone) will not display apps correctly, hence there will never be an official fix.
-----
Pro tip: Instead of enabling system-wide immersive mode and get frustrated in some apps, I remember there was a paid app, granular immersive, or something. Which allow you to enable full screen only on some apps.
But Magisk notch module has to be installed in any case.

TL;DR!!!
LOL jk man
if anything is going to get this done, itll have to be a device-wide system update that will be a major PITA for Samsung. I personally believe that not having this option is a literal mistake and to correct it, theyll have to admit that it was a f**k up from the get go. Im betting that "GoodLock" is going to be our best bet to get this accomplished as it is allowed root access from Samsung and its written by Samsung, so it can allow this "personal preference" that they should have built in in the first place.
Id bug the goodlock folks. Its probably your only hope

sad but true. goodlock is the most likely path we have to Samsung giving us access to modding stuff we will likely ever see. Im just glad that i can change my buttons on the bottom TBH, i like having a kitty butt as my back button LOL!!

Is possible to achieve it Now. Download system UI tuner. Connect phone to laptop and execute adb commands to hide the navigation bar. Disconnect phone, go to galaxy store, download Good Lock, then open up the app then download multistar . Open multistar go to the last option to stretch The screen over the camera hole. Chose options to all.... Now go to system UI tuner and select hide navigation bar.... that's all

EdXposed and Gravitybox working on ROG phone 3?

As the title asks, does anyone know if EdXposed amd GravityBox are working on the ASUS ROG Phone 3? If they are working, are there any features that are known to cause problems and should not be used?
Thanks all and stay healthy!
Exposed should work fine (haven't tried it myself though).
I thought GravityBox was for Samsung devices only......?
You can also try SystemUI Tuner - a lot of its tweaks do work.
Hey, thanks for the response. As for GravityBox, as far as I know (I could certainly be wrong though) it's developer originally designed it for OnePlus phones due to OnePlus's willingness to give out it's android source code to make it easier for users to root it. Later on, the developer decided to add support for other phones as well.
As for SystemUI Tuner, I've never heard of it. Does it require root? (Im asking because obviously root allows far more customization and that is what I'm looking for.) I am a several year GravityBox user and I want to have at least most of the customization features from GravityBox if I am going to be using a different app/piece of software. For example, I would like to still have the feature such as being able to customize the number of rows and columns in quick settings, keeping the screen off when the charger is plugged in and unplugged, changing the carrier text (i.e. instead of "MyCarrier" you can put anything you want), having the network speed & date AND time in the status bar and changing the position of all of the items in the status bar, having right and left arrow keys in the NavBar when the keyboard is showing, amongst other things.
