Full Screen Contact/Caller ID Pic In-Call - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods

Finally got back on Samsung after a break from my Note 3, with a Note 8, carrier unlocked U.S.. One thing I miss is having full screen call/contact pics. For the life of me I cant figure out why they would make the contact pic so small when making, receiving or in progress of a call. Its pretty close to the size of the send/end call button. I guess maybe its a Nougat thing, because my V20 was the same way. Question is, does anyone have any insight into a remedy for this. Non-Root remedy perhaps.. Any themes or anything of that nature that may exist with full screen caller ID/Contact pic. Thanks in advance

You could try this. Although not full screen, but a little bit better..

Same here...Waiting since s8 got oreo beta...
@RequeLine any hopes..

It was best during Note 2, 3, 4 days where really we used to have caller image as that of size of screen size. Developer like Poppuri had best of it. Now a days all half screen image are seen in Oreo custom roms except some apps in play store.

Figured I would drop back in on the off chance that someone has come up with a fix. The link in this thread worked fine until Oreo came around. And as of now, only the European version has the capability of larger contact/in call pics. Anyone have any luck with US unlocked version?

Okay I'll take care of the header. And maybe the font size too. Also, if you could upload some pictures, because i havent seen my own app :3
Thanks for the update. Still not right though. This is what it looks like now.
It looks like the title should fit, but strangely doesn't.

Seems like a bug in the SDK. I decreased the font size (was 18, now 14) should (fingers crossed) work. Now, it has an aggressive build, meaning the app will now become faster and reduce lags if there were any.

Definitely a bug. I'm still seeing "Countdown T..." Why does it do this? Can it be made to wrap to second line?
Other than this the app working good and fast
Thank you for this. Ill check it out.
quick question. The timer works great by the way. Ok for my question; what is the watch face download? It doesn't seam to do anything. Am I missing something? Normally when I install different watch faces, I can switch to them. With this one, it isn't showing up in my list. What am I missing here, other then a brain!!!!

Well, I dont own a Pebble. As far as I can guess, You download the .pbw and Put it on your phone. Then, load it to your pebble using the Pebble App. It will probably ask you to browse to to the pbw file. You could [email protected] for help. He got it running.

This is not a Watch Face. It's a Watch App. You will find installed Watch Apps by pressing the right-middle button and scrolling down.

I get that. The app installed fine and works great. However on the first page you can download the countdown time and also a watch face. What's the face for? Is that what the first build was called, and as they progressed the name got changed? That's what it looks like to me, but if it's something different, I can't figure out what. Since it has a different name, I figured I would ask.
Thanks for the response though, all are welcome and helpful.

No, the first download is a WatchApp. The default name after compiling shows as Watchface and i forgot to change that before uploading. Nothing else. Glad to hear the app works well.

Flash to focus ( flash assist) on 4.4 GPE??

This is thing is driving me crazy from time..
Finally HTC decided to implement this function ( that is present in EVERY phone with flash) from 4.3 releases..
Now, why the hell they haven't included it also on GPE?
Nexus got it, S4 GPE got it.. why HTC no? is there a way to have it?
Where is the problem? in the kernel i assume.. right?
This has been driving me nuts too!! My old Galaxy Nexus has this and so does the Nexus 4 and 5. Did you find anything out about it? I would like to use AOSP based ROMs full time but for me this feature is a bit of a deal breaker.

OK, this is odd. I tried santod040's port of the HTC One M8 GPE ROM that can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2722134 and flash assisted focus WORKED!
It did behave a little strangely though. It would work in a dimly lit situation but not in a dark or pitch black situation. I have restored a Sense 6 backup and the flash assisted focus works in pitch black as does my wife's Nexus 4 with stock 4.4.2.
But... it DID WORK more than with any of the M7 GPE builds that I have tried.
Have you tried with flash on and not automatic? Maybe with forced ON it trigger also on pitch black !

I can't remember if I did... I think I did and it made no difference.
It also seemed that after trying to get the flash to fire for focus in a dark/very low light situation it would not work and then if you tried a "not so dark" situation it would not work until you closed and reopened the camera.

[Discussion Thread ] Oneplus V

Hello everyone, so the Oneplus 5 is coming later this month and while we are all excited leaks are out day after day so what are your thought about this device ?
I saw a post this morning saying that it will start in India with a price of 500$ and the 8GB of RAM variant will cost almost 600$ which is a but high considering Oneplus make "Flagships Killers"...what do you think ?

I hope you understood my point of view mate

Ahhh okay, that's fine. Sorry
If the design is confirmed (most probably) in the presentation to be like the Iphone and OPPO ones, i will probably start calling it iPlus 5/iP5 for ever.

OnePlus 5 Jelly Scrolling Issue Debunked/Solved

Figured out how to reproduce the jelly scrolling effect on every phone I have. The jelly scrolling effect isn't an issue with the OnePlus 5. I was able to reproduce the bug on my OnePlus 3T and Samsung Galaxy S7. Here is a video displaying the bug:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylPgd4V-z98
Let me know what you think and if you can reproduce it every time like myself.
Edit: Turns out the stock launcher doesn't have the issue, but nova launcher does. I'm not exactly sure why nova launcher is causing it to happen, but maybe that is why a lot of people are experiencing the issue. Nova launcher is the most popular launcher on the market.

Interesting , I can't seem to replicate on stock launcher I've had 3 devices now and none of them had the effect replaced for other reasons mainly just paranoia that I'd got one of the earlier manufacturer date that some had issues with so returned and got a later manufacturer date 10/6/17 , this one performing nice

Just tried with the stock launcher, I can't reproduce the bug at all.... Interesting indeed. I wonder if it's just a nova launcher issue? Could you try installing Nova Launcher and see if you can reproduce the bug?
Tried Nova just as smooth as stock for me although by default the icons are smaller and more on the page maybe it's something Todo with the Grid layout bigger icons more of a gap in between them or something
Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk
honestly i see nothing wrong in the video..
out of the dozen videos i have seen so far, i can only identify the jelly effect in one of them..
and that one is now used to illustrate the effect in all major sites/blogs i read..
not trying to imply anything.. maybe the only fact i come to realise from this jelly drama is that im one of the lucky few (who cannot see.. )

Strange, I just reinstalled nova and can reproduce the bug with stock settings. You're getting in between the grid on the app draw right? I was able to reproduce the bug on my 3t, s7 and LG tablet with nova launcher.
Yes in between app icons as said it defaults icons small think 5 in a row if reduce Grid to 4 in a row the gap between apps is greater will try with bigger gap

Try installing nova launcher and scrolling in between the app drawer grid (white area, completely avoid pressing the icons.) Let me know if you can duplicate it. I'm confused why other people are having issues reproducing it like myself. I was able to do it on 4 devices now.

Issues solved? How? Where?
Still don't see the jelly on mine. I also ran into someone locally that also has a OP5 and he had no jelly screen either. I've got one of the early models and after this latest 4.5.5 update my bad wifi performance is finally gone which was the only real issue I had so far. I was also wondering if the whole jelly thing people are seeing is more noticeable with the standard white theme. I switched mine to the dark theme right out of the box.
Either way, I'm done trying to look for an "issue" that isn't there. I've been trying to spot an ounce of waviness/jellyness since the first reports started popping up and haven't seen anything as such since. Cant speak for anyone else but this is my second phone from OP and I personally have had nothing but great results on both.

Thats the right way to go about it, if you can't see it, than there is no reason to furthermore try to find it.. Its like once you notice it, you pretty much cant unsee it.. so yeah, glad you dont see it, enjoy your phone!

i don´t understand how meizu can ruin everything with this bad ui
So this phone is at banggood at 170/200 euros, it´s a nice price for this
There are a lot of people that are buying this right now, no one can make custom rom like faust did with pro 5?
Some money can be raised
Yeah i am planning to buy this phone on banggood. Anybody shipped it to india?I liked to know what amount of custom duty i have to pay?
