I don't understand the smart settings removal either - But I probably wouldn't have used it anyway as I use Tasker now.

or rather I used it on my old phone - will setup tasker on new LG.

home screen loop is under home screen settings and is a check mark - below that if the app list looping check mark.

I don't like the home screen loop - but I like the app list loop

just install Nova Launcher Prime and it will be back in full living color

How does Nova Launcher bring back LG Smart Settings application?

one thing I miss from my note 3 - smart stay

very useful use of the phone camera to keep the screen on. I'll have to download and install screebl I guess

the question was continuous Homescreen looping which Nova Launcher does

Napalm · Oct 25, 2016

the base rom has that feature - no need for another launcher.

settings home screen - loop home screen check.

StevieAA, just trying to help. I'm running my V20 on VZW. In settings, home screen, there is a check box for home screen looping that you can select (like I want) or deselect (like others want). If that's what you're looking for, I think you can get exactly what you're looking for.

Nova is a great option, but I think you can get what you want right out of the box. I might have misunderstood your goal, but hope that I've helped.

So, you convinced me - order placed for an unlocked version.

Longtime Samsung user. I currently have the Note 4 and was considering the Note 7 when it was first announced - glad I didn't. So I went to a local ATT store and played with the V20. It seemed pretty slick.

My pluses: removable battery, expandable storage
My minuses: no app drawer

So convince me, why should I get the V20 instead of the S7, or wait for something else from Samsung? Is my only option for all my apps to create folders and store the apps in there? I prefer a minimalistic screen, so lots of folders is not ideal and clutter. I also use Nova Launcher Pro, how well will that work without a drawer?

There is an app drawer. It is off by default. But you can turn it back on in the settings if you want to.

There are only 4 things that make this phone unique
1. Removable Battery
2. Micro SD slot
3. Infrared blaster
4. High quality DAC

If you don't need/desire those, then go with the S7

The first two are rather important. There are other desirable features as well.

Nothing else makes this phone unique

Took the plunge this afternoon. I am coming from an HTC, and will post my first impressions as soon as I get a chance to sit down and write properly.
