Ok waiting for new 😘😘💯let's do this

[GalaxyTechie]

One UI Home:

When you long press on an icon, have it so that you can hold and drag to the shortcut you want in order to open that shortcut. (Instead of having to hold, let go, then tap the shortcut that appears).

When you long press a folder, it should show all the notifications from the apps in that folder. (Same should go for Game Launcher).

Showing more than 1 notification when long pressing an icon. (Maybe letting us see 3 at once instead?).

Let us long press on the page indicator to quickly scroll between different pages on the home and Apps screens.

Option to have a different home screen layout when in focus mode.

Option to have a “Widgets” section on the left side of the home screen.

Have a “white” icon for the apps button that changes based on if you have night mode enabled or not.

Have an option for labels on the dock (the icons at the bottom of the homescreen). These labels were removed with the One UI update, add an option to bring them back.

Add a vertical option for the app drawer with A-Z quick select.

Add an option to remove the dock.

Add widget "stacks". Like on iOS.

Add the “Styles” option from Stock Android: This lets you change the system font, icon shape, toggle style, and accent colours.

Add Material You theming engine: Accent colour which applies to the quick settings area, in apps (camera, keyboard, etc.), And on home screen app icons. Also, have an option to pick the accent colour from the wallpaper.

Add an option for wallpaper scrolling, motion wallpapers, and wallpaper touch input support.

Make "Apply Dark mode to Wallpaper" turn on automatically based on the ambient lighting (auto brightness basically).

Bring Google Discover to all devices.

Navigation bar, Buttons and Swipe gestures:

Option to hide the Navbar/Gesture hints on the home screen (but have it appear everywhere else).

Bring back the button to show/hide the navbar (without having to use goodlock).

Bring back “back gesture” option on keyboard.

Make the gesture animations faster and smoother.

Add a “Zoom in/out” wallpaper effect animation when opening/closing apps, it would look nice.

Option to remove "swiping from left edge". Most Android apps still use a hamburger menu, being able to remove the left side for back would be a good change (without having to use One Handed Operation+).

Have the "Swipe gestures" be fully transparent in all apps. Implementing this is dependent on the app developers, Samsung should add this into their own apps as well. (The Goodlock implementation doesn’t count, it’s not the same).

Have the default navbar/Gesture hints colour be black instead of white (That’s why the navbar is sometimes white when it shouldn’t be).

When opening and closing the camera app with gesture navigation, there is a delay and Frame drops in the gesture animation. This happens even on the Galaxy S21 series of phones. Please fix this issue, Samsung.

Immersive mode: Hide the navbar/Gesture hints when you’re scrolling through an app and you aren’t using it.

When going home and then quickly swiping up to open the app drawer, the Gesture hints animates when it's not supposed to.

Display:

Make the Adaptive Eye comfort shield work more like the iOS True Tone feature. Currently, the Eye comfort shield is very subtle, I can barely tell when it changes, Samsung needs to make it more obvious in my opinion.

Add an option to lower the screen refresh rate below 60 Hz on devices with a high refresh rate when idling. (I.e., 48 Hz on Galaxy S21, 10 Hz on Galaxy S21 Ultra).

Add an option to adjust the gamma level.

Camera:

Simplify the camera app: There are way too many camera modes, I.e., see below.

Get rid of night mode, it’s already included as part of the scene optimizer anyway.

Combine the photo and night modes (Rename it to “Auto”), just have a button to take a video.

Combine the Portrait and Portrait Video modes (Rename it to “Portrait”), just have a button to take a Portrait video.

Combine the Pro and Pro Video Modes (Rename it to “Pro”), just have a button to take a Pro video.

Combine the Slow Motion and Super Slow-Mo modes (Rename it to “Slow Motion”), just have a button to switch between the two slow-mo options.

This change will be beneficial IMO, going from 15 modes down to 10 modes will make the user experience a lot better.

Add a dedicated Astrophotography mode: Have an option that uses the device location and AI to check for the Earth's rotation to reduce star trails.

Add Clone Videos and Time freeze video modes, like on Xiaomi phones.

Add photosphere and fisheye modes.

Add more "zoom" to the selfie cam, currently, there are only "normal" and "wide" options for zooming, having an option to zoom in, even more, would be nice, like on Snapchat.

Let us lock the camera orientation. (Sometimes the camera doesn’t rotate when you want it to, having it locked in landscape mode all the time would be beneficial).

Add exposure bracketing under Pro mode.

Add a sharpness slider under Pro mode/Pro Video mode.

Exposure time in Pro Mode: The current limit is 30 seconds, expanding this to 60 seconds and having more steps in the longer timings would allow for a lot more light when using the camera.

Focus on making the camera app faster and lighter, the current camera app is very CPU heavy.

Faster shutter speed: When Scene Optimizer detects pets or children (Basically, a fast-moving object), the shutter speed should increase to prevent blurry photos. *Also, enabling motion photo makes shutter speeds slow, having motion photos on AND fast shutter speeds would be much appreciated.

The viewfinder has a "preview" of what the frame will look like with the ultra-wide lens (Like on the iPhone).

Portrait Video should work with all objects, not just faces (I would like to take a video of a subject and have my background blurred).

Add an option to change what zoom levels the tree icons go to. (I.e., tapping the one tree icon goes to 10x) and let us add more than three trees.

Add an option to have panoramas on the front camera.

Add an option to swap the “Hold shutter button” and “Swipe down on shutter button” functionalities.

After you hold down the shutter button to take a video, let us “lock” the button so that we don’t have to keep it held down during the video.

Add an option to customize the top row of icons and rearrange them (Settings, Flash, Timer, Aspect Ratio, Motion Photo, and Beauty).

Also, some additional toggle suggestions:

HDR (On, Off, and Auto), Resolution (720p, 1080p, 4K, 8K, etc), Framerate (24,30,60,120 fps).

*Some of these resolution/frame rate options are only available in the pro-video mode for some reason.

Add an option to swap the top row and the bottom row (Modes) (Like on Samsung Experience 9, Android Oreo). I’m much more likely to tap between the options at the top than I am to switch between modes. Plus, we can just switch between modes by swiping left/right anyway.

Add Auto FPS on UHD (30 FPS and 24 FPS).

Flash use on the Ultra-Wide lens.

Add an option to turn the flash on when tapping to focus on the screen.

Telephoto lens support in Pro Mode/Video Pro Mode.

Add 16-bit support when using HEIC. (Some devices, like the Galaxy S21 Ultra, have the hardware to support this, and 10 bit for Galaxy S21/S21+).

AR Emoji in Director’s view: Let us have our AR Emoji on our face while using Director’s View. I think Virtual YouTubers aka "Vtubers" would love this.

[GalaxyTechie]

Advanced features:

Option to use drawing for gestures. I.e., draw a circle to open the camera app, turn on the flashlight, etc. Like how it is on OnePlus phones.

Option to use three-finger gestures. I.e., three-finger gestures to take a screenshot.

Let us adjust the sensitivity of "Palm swipe to capture".

Dual apps feature for all apps. (Without having to use Secure folder).

Let us remap the Bixby button without having to sign in/activate Bixby, and add an option to map it to Google Assistant.

Bring back the option to cast and screen share to non-Google devices.

Screenshots and Screen recorder:

Make the "screenshot toolbar" animation faster.

Add an AI that makes "smooth shapes". (I.e., draw a circle and it will make a perfect circle on the screenshot).

Option for 1440p on Screen recorder

Option for 60 FPS and 120 FPS on Screen recorder

Option to show screen touches on Screen recorder

Option to remove the 3-second timer from the Screen recorder

(I know they added this, but I meant if it was an option to permanently remove it in here):

Lock screen:

Make “Lift to wake” work better and respond instantly. Also, add a "Lower to sleep" feature.

Add sensitivity customization for "Lift to wake" and "Lower to sleep".

Option to take a picture with the selfie camera after multiple failed to unlock attempts.

Add an option for motion wallpapers on the Lock screen.

Add a “Zoom in/out” wallpaper effect animation when the screen turns on/off, it would look nice.

Add different options for the screen lock/unlock animation. For example, the animation that plays on Samsung TV's looks like a CRT TV turning on/off.

Let us rotate the lock screen when using a video wallpaper or a live wallpaper (We used to have this feature in One UI 1).

Option for notifications to be hidden until you look at the phone and it unlocks with your face. Used to be a feature in the Android 10 beta, would be nice if they brought it back.

Have an option to “stay on lock screen” when unlocking with a fingerprint.

Have an option so that the weather can appear under the clock.

Make the “Icon” notification style icons larger and add the borders back, they’re hard to see.

Add more clock styles (And bring back the ones from One UI 2!).

Add album artwork to the lockscreen like we used to have back on Marshmallow.

Make “Lockdown” mode force close all apps and delete device encryption keys from the memory (return the phone to BFU state).

Security:

Option to lock individual apps via the screen lock password/pin + biometrics or another password/pin + biometrics outside Secure folder.

Face authentication for logins and payments.

Secure folder:

Add the option to access the Secure folder directly by entering its password on the lockscreen. (But limit it so that you can only access apps inside of the Secure folder).

Add an option to make a Secure folder into a launcher with its wallpaper and app drawer.

Fingerprint scanner icon customization:

Pick different “fingerprint” icons which all animate differently? Maybe different colours aside from the standard white and black (Have the status bar icons, and the FP icon colour adaptive like the clock is).

Have a section in the Galaxy Themes Store for different Fingerprint icons/unlocking animations, since Samsung is going to add this feature to many phones going forward, having this be customizable would be great.

Choose between different unlocking animations since so many people don’t like the ripple animation. Have something like a laser line going through the fingerprint icon.

I think Samsung could implement this since they let us customize the Iris scanner “masks” on the S8/S9.

Phone:

Add an option to block numbers by area code or part of the number itself. (I.e., block “@”, “+1”, or “+800”).

[GalaxyTechie]

Add these missing features to the Galaxy S21:

“Macro Mode”: S21 Ultra has this feature automatically, I would like it if Samsung somehow added this to the S21 and S21+ as well, even if it meant for us to have to manually focus to use it.

“Portrait Mode”: S21 Ultra has Night Mode for Portraits, I think they could add this to the S21 and S21+ as it doesn’t sound hardware related to me.

Bring Auto Framing feature to all phones. This feature is currently only foldable, having this feature on other phones like the Galaxy S21 would be great.

(Galaxy S21 series only). Add an option to have FHD Auto or FHD 60 FPS as the default in Super steady.

Add an "underwater mode" for the camera. When underwater we know that the touchscreen doesn't work and sometimes it even detects false clicks and stops video recording, messes with the zoom etc. So, this mode would allow you to disable the touchscreen temporarily and remap all the physical buttons (power, volume up and down and Bixby) and choose their behaviour inside the camera app, be able to save those profiles and swap between them, so you could zoom underwater, toggle flash, take screenshots of the video being recorded or other things.

One could ask, how would you toggle this mode off if the buttons are remapped once enabled and no touchscreen would be available? You could for example hold the volume up and down simultaneously for 3 seconds or hold the power button for 5 seconds (because holding power for two seconds could be enabling the flashlight for example), pressing buttons twice should be customizable too.

And of course, don't worry about being locked outside, if you forget the "escape" combination, once the app hits its idle timer and closes, the touchscreen would be back.

Always on Display:

Bring back the “Rotate” and “Auto brightness/brightness slider” buttons on the Always-on Display (Android 10 update removed these in place of a Settings and Brightness slider button, Android 9 had it perfect).

Adaptive brightness that learns your preferences over time. The phone has this feature already, but the AOD doesn’t.

Add an option to have the Always-on Display rotation “sync” with the phone rotation. For example, if you are in landscape view on your phone, and you press the power button, the AOD should appear in landscape mode.

Have it so that the AOD rotates to landscape depending on which way your phone is facing.

Alright enough with the landscape mode! Here’s some other stuff:

Add more clock styles (Once again, bring back the ones from One UI 2!).

For the “GIF” clock style, there should be an animation when going from the Lock screen to AOD, but there isn’t.

Make the Edge clock style interactive with different widgets and notifications.

Add an option for wallpapers as the Always-on Display, like we used to have back on Android 7 and allow us to make our own.

10 Hz/48 Hz mode for Always-on Display: Galaxy S21 goes down to 48 Hz, Galaxy S21 Ultra goes down to 10 Hz. Having the AOD go down to their respective minimum refresh rates would be good for battery life.

Also, make the Always-on Display brighter, it’s too hard to see. Have an “Outdoor mode” that automatically triggers when the phone is under a bright light.

Widgets (Lock screen):

Make the Face widgets an open API so that devs can make their own on the Galaxy Apps store! Like how we can download extra Edge panels for example.

Let us add any Widgets to this panel.

Bring back the old media Face widget from One UI 2, the one in One UI 3 is hard to read and you can no longer wipe it away.

Battery and device care:

Bring back Storage cleaning.

Add "RAM Plus" feature from Galaxy A52s to Samsung flagships like Galaxy S21. (Being able to "simulate" 12 GB of RAM on a phone with 8 GB of RAM using the phone storage would be great).

Show the “Battery Health” in the “Battery section”. For example, it will say “Your phone is at 85% Battery Health, which is considered good”.
