Vertical scrolling

OK. I think I'm going crazy here but I went to grab my phone and hit the app drawer button and noticed that it was now showing up vertically with most used apps on the top instead of the normal horizontal. Was there a way to always change this that I never saw before. I didnt do anything different unless something got presses and changed while it was in my pocket.

I'm just looking for the option to go back and forth if there is one.

Thanks!

Scrolling Screen Capture Port from Note 5?

This is a super cool feature that's exclusive to the Note 5 for no good reason... I'd love to be able to take scrolling screen shots on my edge+ but I'm not aware of a way to do that.

Does anyone know if there's a way to port this apk or something? Thanks everyone!

scrolling issue

I've seen this on certain ROMs, and wondered what it might be and if I can adjust or tweak something to fix it, (but maybe it's just something you have to live with depending on where the ROM development is at). It's kind of like a wave that goes across the screen. It seems totally random, I haven't been able to predict it, but it happens maybe once every 10 scrolls or something. You can see it in the mp4, near the end of the clip. Any ideas?

[MOD] request: Scrolling Screen Capture + Double Tap to open Camera

Hey there,

Can someone port the Scrolling Screen Capture feature over from the N5 to the N4? :)

also is it possible to Port the Double Tap to open the Camera while Screen is off/with a secure Lockscreen from the N5/S6 to the N4? I don't want to use Home2 Button.

Greetings,

Kivikaki: ;)

Chrome and scrolling lag after loading a page

Hey! I just got the Nexus 6 last week and I noticed an annoying issue with Chrome: when the phone finish loading a page there is this lag on chrome when I try to scroll. It just pauses for maybe 1 or 2 seconds.
I tried Stock rom, then Chroma and Pure Nexus (after wiping everything ofc) & LK Hellscore Blu_spark kernel, and I have still this issue.
It's a shame I can't get smooth scrolling with such a powerful device. Otherwise I absolutely love Chrome. I tried UC firefox & Opera & I keep coming back to Chrome... My nexus 6 is very fast otherwise (I'm experiencing some lag with the GEL launcher too, when I swipe to Google now's card but I had the same issue with my LG G2).
Anyone else has this issue? Maybe there's a tweak somewhere I missed?

Can we take a "scrolling" screenshot?

Is this possible? I want to take a screenshot, but the content I'm trying to capture is too long to fit on 1 screen.... and I don't want to use a photo editor to combine them.

Wallpaper Scrolling

Is the Note 5's inability to scroll wallpaper as you cycle through the home screens a bug or working as intended? If it's not a bug, is this function removed because of Samsung/TouchWiz or Android 5.1.1? (I'm coming from an LG G3 that had 5.0.X on it and it scrolled the wallpaper.)

To be clear, this was the feature that would move your background wallpaper slightly left or right as you scrolled in that direction through your various home screens- I believe it was called parallax effect?

Scrolling Problems?

I just ordered an G920i which I will be getting tomorrow. Is it like the Galaxy S5 with lollipop when it comes to the scrolling? I absolutely hate it its hard to explain but example: Scrolling up and down through settings or a website, its not lag its when you scroll really fast it has a jumpy affect or effect where it will scroll the opposite direction. I've seen this on Several Galaxy S5's and the Note 4 when I help someone with there phone. Its annoying. It does not happen on other phones running lollipop except the Xperia Z2 I had.

Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Why does Android scrolling not smooth?

Or will it ever get better ?

I switched from IPhone to Android back in 2013 when Samsung announced the Gakaxy S4. My opinions were mixed and i kept switching back and forth between the iPhone and the S4. I decided to switch to the S4 as my daily driver and since then i never looked back. I kept on upgrading every time to the latest flagship Note 3, Tab S 8.0, and now my Note 4 & Tab S2.

I noticed that android improved a lot in such a short time, but in some areas it remained the same. All of my devices not as smooth as my old iPhone in scrolling specially in websites that contains ads. I tried my best to fix this issue and tried other devices but it seems that Android is plagued with this issue on play store, chrome and many others. It seems like the developers can't hit the right spot in coding.

I tried to look for an answer but most of the info i found pointing to the problem that only Google can fix. Some say that UI rendering is not getting the priority in the process some other they say its because Apple optimize its ios on their phones and other say its because Android coding is hard compared to ios.

Will we ever see Android as smooth as Ios ? The question is going in my mind for a long time and the only reason I'm still with Android is because i love the filixablity that it offers to the user despite the other issues that we face with scrolling and surfing websites.

Would love to hear your opinion and if you have something to share.

Regards
Yathani

How can I get Scrolling Homescreen w/o Nova launcher?

I think as we all know Nova Launcher just doesn't play well with the Edge screen. I like having my Edge screen available to me at all times. Its why i bought the phone but with Nova, it blacks it out.

I don't have a rooted or custom ROM and I don't have the time now till winter to play around with the phone. Is there any app that will let me have a scrollable background?
