Asus has brought some powerful specifications to their
smartphones, including their custom interface (Zen UI).
Here are a few tips and tricks that you can use on Zenfone 2, Zenfone 4,
Zenfone 5 and Zenfone 6 smartphones.
HINT: In case you are not using the latest Zen UI edition,
a few features might not work, but once you update to the latest version, they
will work without any problems.
App Drawer Customization
The Zen UI comes with an application drawer, which allows
you to arrange your applications the way you want. To do this, open the
application drawer and you will notice that it comes with separate sections for
applications, search option, widgets, view mode and a detailed menu which
allows you to customize the app drawer.
The Zen UI retains the app drawer and has added several
customization features to arrange your apps as you like. Open the app drawer by
tapping the menu button. Once the app drawer opens, notice that the header
appears just below the top notification bar. It features separate sections for
apps, widgets, search option, view mode and a detailed menu for customizing the
app drawer.
Quick Trigger
The Zenfone 2 smartphones comes with a 5.5inch display,
which is quite big and you might find out that’s pretty difficult to use it
with only one hand. However, thanks to the Zen UI, you will see that’s not that
hard. Go to Settings->Asus Customized Settings and turn on the Quick Trigger
option.
After that, tap the home key twice to activate “One Hand
Mode”, which will allow you to resize the window or change the position of a
window. This way, you will be able to control the device with only one hand. In
order to turn back to “normal mode”, tap the home button twice.
Screen Pinning
A new feature that the Zenfone 2 models came with is the
screen pinning. Since this feature is based on the Android 5.0 Lollipop
cosmetic interface, you can use it once your smartphone is updated to Lollipop.
You will be able to pin one application to the home screen
and keep it active until you unpin it. In order to activate this feature, head
to Settings->Security->Screen Pinning and turn on toggle on Screen
Pinning.
Auto-start Manager
Are there some applications that you want to auto-start
once your Zenfone 2 boots? Well don’t worry because auto-start manager can do
that without any problems. In order to access this feature, tap on the
Auto-start manager icon from the home screen and set which applications you
want to auto-start once your smartphone boots.
Manage your Home Screen
The Zenfone 2 allows you to customize every single inch of
your home screen. You are allowed to change the wallpaper, install more icon
packs, install new fonts, download themes and even change the scroll effect.
