Still a very cool feature on the V20, what do you have as your top 5 app shortcuts?

Mines are:
Messaging (SMS)
Camera
Quick Remote (IR Blaster)
Reading Mode Widget (on/off toggle)
Greenify Hibernate Widget (kills apps running in the background)

Pretty cool how you can actually use certain 1x1 widgets on the app shortcut bar.
 
I keep the Quick Tools on the second screen.

You mean at the top of the screen? I want even aware they could be changed past the six options you get to put in those five spots!

Reading mode gives you the option to quickly change the display time-out to 10 minutes (or however long you want) temporarily so that you can read without the screen turning off. It also enables a blue light filter to protect your eyes from too much exposure to blue light, which is bad for your eyes and affects your circadian system (natural sleeping habits). I have the widget to toggle on and off quickly when I need it.

(Version 1.0 has the widget, version 2.0 doesn't so don't get that one)

The V20 already has comfort view on the shortcut toggle however it doesn't automatically change the screen time-out.

I keep Quick Tools turned off because when the Always On Display is on, sometimes my hand accidently triggers the toggles by itself.

Yeah you can change it to whatever you want. Settings > Display > Second Screen > Show When Main Screen On > then click on App Shortcuts. If you have a 1x1 widget, you can simply drag and drop it on the second screen.. only certain widgets will work.

Nope, it's not in my settings. I'll keep looking but now I'm sad, thanks still.

That occasionally happens with me, but it's rare and the proximity sensor prevents pocket activations.

Nice I didn't even know about Reading Mode! Thanks.
