I'm one of the few people who almost always holds the phone in landscape orientation; even when talking on the phone with Bluetooth... especially, with the large high-res screen of the Note 9. I'm able to do this with One UI (and also the older launcher on Oreo)... however, I'd like to try others with more customizations.
The first launcher I tried was Nova Prime. To my surprise, it now has an arbitrary limitation which does NOT allow having the dock at the bottom of the screen in Landscape mode... even if there's room for it. Instead, it puts the dock at the right edge of the screen... which looks really bad IMO. I used to be able to do this with Nova launcher, even on my old Note 4. Not anymore.. I've already confirmed this limitation with other Nova users who use a Note 9.
For those of you that are using 3rd party launchers (other than Nova), I'm curious if you could please confirm that you get the dock at the bottom of your landscape screen ...like the screenshot below. I'm thinking about Action Launcher.

Am I doing something wrong or is the wallpaper utility pretty bad?
Every wallpaper I try to use I have to resize but it resizes as if I'm using it on a small screen (Like a Blackberry curve screen). Is there any way to just use a wallpaper without resizing it? Actually I guess I mean cropping it now that I'm thinking about it.
I downloaded the exact size wallpapers for my Hero but then I have to crop it like it's for a small screen and of course I can only use a fraction of the actual image, I must be doing something wrong
Use "Wallpaper set & save" from market.
Also remember that the "correct" size for a wallpaper on your Android is 2 x screenwidth at 1 x screenheight.
So for your Hero that's a 640x480 wallpaper. I use WallpaperPlus to manage wallpapers and have perfect-quality screens
Plus, when you do it using the usual way (without any additional application) note that you have to pull the selection rectangle all the way out...
Common mistake, if you didn't know that already ofcourse...

Thanks WallpaperPlus works nicely. I still don't understand why the regular wallpaper utility does what it does with the cropping business.
Regular wallpaper application works just fine as well over here Just pull all the way out.
I was wondering if there was a launcher out there that does the same thing that TWL does where you can bring up your apps, then just press one of the overhead dots to quickly go to that particular page (column) of apps? I was told that LP doesn't have the functionality, & I played with ADW today for a bit, but couldn't find a setting...
Bottom line: me no likey da scroll-y.
If you install SGS Tools there are different variations of Touchwiz. Just go to upgrade stock apps and then upgrade tw launcher.
Yeah, I've already got the updated version installed; was just wondering if there was another launcher out there w/the same functionality. le sigh.
EDIT: Do you want that feature in the app drawer?
If by "app drawer," you mean the screens/columns that you see when you hit the button to bring you to all of your apps, then yes. I'm referring to the dots @ the top of this image:

But you aren't the first person to suggest Zeam. Maybe I'll see if that's got what I'm looking for today...
*Edit - tried Zeam, & unless I missed it, it doesn't have it, either.
Happy to share the result of my hard work over the past few months. Edge Launcher (previously known as Edge Quick Actions) is a fast gesture launcher and app switcher that you can access from the edge of your screen anytime.

Edge Launcher allows you to access more than a dozen quick settings and toggles, switch between recent apps very fast and open your favorite apps. All of this is done with one single touch, without lifting your finger from the screen (there is also an option to open it with a quick swipe from the edge of the screen).
This is a major update from the previous version, with card UI and nice animations, as well as material design for the app settings. I'm also working to add more functionality such as adding contacts, shortcuts and theming support!

Happy to hear your thoughts and feedback. Thanks!
tI've been using my Note 8 for about a week and a half and I've encountered a really annoying bug that wasn't there on the first day.
When I'm in any kind of multi-tasking screen, any Internet Browser on the bottom half of the screen is blanked out. So for example, in the two screenshots below, I have Amazon and NewEgg open in Samsung Browser and Chrome at the same time. Whichever one is on the bottom is completely blanked out. If I switch which app is on the bottom, it switches which one will be blacked out.
In my phone, it looks black, but in the screenshots below it looks white.
Anyone know what this could be? Admittedly, it could be a lot of different things--I've been toying with Bx Actions, Bk package disabler / ADB, Nova Launcher, my settings, etc...
As it stands now, the rest of the phone works great, but I may have to factory reset my device.
It would also help if someone can tell me how to reliably create a bunch of restore points so I can move in iterations next time I set everything up.
Thanks

Hi, I switched to an LG Velvet a few months ago, however, instead of getting rid of my old Huawei p20, I instead converted it to my dedicated media streaming device. Specifically, I use it exclusively with my CRT television as a means to stream 4:3 content from my server through the VLC app. Overall, I absolutely love it, however I have one minor issue that I hope to resolve. My problem is that despite the phone's settings toggled to disabled all sleep functions, the phone when in desktop mode/EMUI, when not in use for a prolonged period of time will display the lock screen on the actual desktop screen, while the phone itself will appear unlocked, meaning I'll have to physically get up and toggle/cycle the on button.
Using my bluetooth mouse does not seem to work for the lock screen either. I was wondering if there was any way to remove this screen entirely or a custom rom that is better suited for a streaming/desktop mode in mind. I rather like the EMUI GUI which scales pretty well to a 4:3 ratio, so anything similar, minus the lockscreen nag would be ideal. I've attached a screenshot of said screen.
