Is there a way to get the G icon Google search widget whilst running stock or is it a different launcher?

Hey guys,
is it possible to get rid of the "Close all Apps" button on the buttom of "Recents"? Or place it on the right or left side without changing ROM?

Everytime I want to go back to my app I click on that "Close all Apps" button... It's a really unfavorable position to have this button in the middle!

Read thoroughly.

Check the sixth feature in...features lol

Read through the instructions carefully.

You are rooted right?

Thank me later! :highfive:

how do you stop vibration all together?

 

[t2jbird]

I've never actually done this and don't want to waste my time if it doesn't work, but if I only flash a custom recovery (no root) will it break SafetyNet or will I still be able to use Android Pay, Netflix, etc no problem?

P.S. I know I could use Magisk to bypass SafetyNet

My Audio tuner doesn't work. Nothing happens when I adjust the levels or change presets. Use mostly Google music. Am I missing something?

Think not, you just have to get used to it

Hi. What are my options for getting one handed operation of this phone? I'm thinking so it shrinks the screen down to within reach of my right hand thumb temporarily.

Hey guys. I just got my OP5 yesterday and downloaded GTA San Andreas and I'm getting artifacts while playing. No matter what graphic settings I select, it's still the same.

Has anyone else got this? Should I send it back?

I tried real racing 3 and no issues. What other games do you think I should try that is heavy on graphics?

Thanks

Why is the upper part that big when I start settings?
Faced this problem today for the first time.

I'm having problems with GPS. Maps is showing my location incorrectly sometimes. Tried some GPS apps and status shows as "No fix". Could it be the hardware? Should I request a replacement before time runs out?

It was included with OP 3 betas and nobody knows why..it's kind of annoying...

It is not a problem, that is how it will be from now on.

There is a way with substratum, but of course you need to be rooted.

Try asphalt 8, implosion, n.o.v.a., but i'm almost sure that it is a problem related to GTA not being optimized for the SoC . If all the other popular graphic heavy games work without any problems, it is not a hardware problem.

Try gboard keyboard. It has a one-hand mode, that can partially help alleviate your issue.

It's because of the large search box on top. You can swipe the screen to top to make it smaller. Swipe it down to make it bigger. Not sure what's the utility of that space, though.

It happened to me as well, on earlier build. But, as of now it works fine.

Thank you for replying. I will try them games. Cheers

So trying to install update manually to an unrooted Unit. I get to stock recovery and the password is not my unlock password. I would rather not delete all info. Any suggestions?

Is there a reason you can change the SMS ringtone, but not the notifications?

Any way to fix this? I literally just want to use my ringtone for regular notifications (email, etc)

I apologise for my poor wording. What I meant to ask is are you a official representative of OnePlus?
