[Q] Hide SMS from Call Logs - Galaxy S III Themes and Apps

Please help me. How to Hide SMS from Call Logs. Is any fix or any way to hide it. Please give me specific instruction step by step.

Go to "Phone" -> "Logs" tab -> press option button -> "View by" -> "All Calls"
Is this what you wanted to do?

i think that's only half of what he wanted.
what he wanted is for that to stay permanent once chosen as an option and not going back to default of all logs once you exit the log and view it again.

Small Question with Calendar

Running stock, rooted, Sprint.
When I set a reminder for my calendar, is there anyway to just get it to go to the notification bar? I don't want a full "alarm" which it does now where I have to swipe to clear the reminder and it takes up the full screen. I just want a simple notification in the background on the sidebar and a ringtone to go when it sets. Anyway to do this? It seems like it would be simple but I haven't been able to find out how to do it in the settings.

Heyyy old question, late reply. Maybe you won't need it anymore.
If I understand the question right, open your Calendar, and click your Settings softkey (bottom left beside home button)
Scroll to Settings
Click the Account Name (ie [email protected])
Scroll down to "Notification Settings"
Place a check mark
Then hit Select Ringtone (just below it) and switch to Silent.
Hope that helps.

FAQ from the website
I installed the app but the icon doesn't show up in my app tray. What can I do?
If this happens on your phone, the only solution we found was to use Nova Launcher because it has a feature that allows you to run a specific activity within an app. To set this up:
Within Nova Launcher, long-press on the home screen.Choose "Shortcuts"Select "Activities"Find "Google Dialer" in the list, then tap to open it up, and select "Phone" (use the first one in the list)
This will put a shortcut to the dialer on your home screen. At this stage, you can use this to access Google Dialer. It's not the cleanest solution, but it does work.
Can I disable my default dialer?
The short answer is no. As a general rule, you will need to keep your present dialer enabled in order to receive calls. The long answer is that on some phones you might be able to disable your stock dialer, but on others you definitely cannot. Feel free to try it on your own device and let us know what your results are.
(I disabled the first phone apk of the 2 that show up (flashing adds another one and I had it A-Z order))
EDIT: After disabling the APK, when I select "Call" the phone doesn't show any call screen whatsoever, and still has a call going, (mic works, and you can call, but the only way you can hang up is to leave the app and click the extended notification)
Again, this is all them!

all contacts

I use Android 4.4.2, Vanir ROM.
When i open the phone / blue icon / i want to have all the contacts first ( NOT like in the image below ) but i couldn't find a way in ROM settings or contacts settings.

Thanks, any ideas are welcome.
Open the people app instead.
But you know, if you star your most frequent contacted people, they should automatically show up there. and when you start calling people more, they will also show up there. You just have to use it and let it learn.
Click the three lines in right corner and then "all contacts".

[Q] Quick access to LP dialer

In the stock dialer, it requires more steps to get to one's contact list or dialer pad (for T9 dialing)
Has anyone found a good way to open the dialpad directly from a homescreen shortcut, or access favorite contacts directly?

thanks - I have GB and the option checked, but it doesn't do anything for me
tried using secure settings to access all the child activities under the phone app as parent, but none of those worked either
the multiple steps just to make a phone call is frustrating ... guess as time goes by, devs start to forget that the smartphone is actually meant to be used as a phone (too)!

How do I disable BlinkFeeds Meal Time Bundle in Marshmallow?

Hi,
I'de like to disable the Meal Time Bundle that keeps popping up on my lockscreen.
I've intalled ARHD 53.1, and when I used the Lollipop version 45.(something), I could disable this feature in BlinkFeed in Settings > Notifications on Lockscreen > Untick the Meal Time Bundle option (or something like that).
Now, in Marshmallow I don't have the option called Notifications on Lockscreen. Does anyone know how I can disable the Meal Time Bundle feature?
Its funny that all I miss from sense 6 is the mealtime suggestions, yet everybody else wants them gone. I have never even seen suggestions on my Blinkfeed 7.
If its not much trouble to help me out, please make me a backup of your sense home (apk+data) using either Helium or Titanium Backup. This feature is immensely useful to me during my frequent travels.
To disable mealtime suggestions in sense 7:
1. Swipe right in blinkfeed to reveal the menu, go into the 3-dots menu, and select "Remove contents". Scroll all the way down, and select "Mealtime Recommendations", then tap the "Remove" button. This will remove it from blinkfeed.
2. Swipe right in blinkfeed to reveal the menu, go into the 3-dots menu, and select "Services & Apps". Scroll down to "Mealtime Recommendations" option and make sure its now unchecked - otherwise uncheck it. This will disable the "mealtime recommendations" service.
3. Add the "Sense Home" widget to your home screen. Tap on the top left label (either home, work, or out), tap on the 3-dot menu on the top right corner and select "Personalize Sense Home", then uncheck the "Share my precise location..." option. This will prevent Blinkfeed from using your location for geo-personalized contents in the future.
Voila,
Enjoy
P.S. Here is a Play Store link to Helium Backup (free). It doesn't require Root.

#1 and #2 doesn't work here. Those options are missing for me in Marshmallow. I've already tried #3 at the day of posting, and seems I haven't gotten any more suggestions yet. So that might solve it. I can see it as being a nice feature if you travel in your work, etc.

I don't think I ever got the meal suggestions to stop. Although I don't remember if I tried Option #3 (stop sharing precise location) or not.
My main issue with the feature, is that (at least in my case) it never suggested anything of interest, that was actually anywhere "close" to my location. It either kept suggesting the same one (mediocre) place I already knew about, near my house. Or kept suggesting places that were several miles away. Which in the Boston area, might take 30-40 minutes to get to; so not usually practical or desirable when other options were much closer. Every time it would suggest a place that looked interesting to me; I'd look at the location, and it was somewhere 2 towns away or more.
HTC prescribes a "long route" solution: tap & hold on mealtime suggestions in BlinkFeed then tap remove. Repeat this whenever you see them, and BlinkFeed will understand and eventually stop showing them altogether.
I think HTC should've made this feature much more customizable: deep integration with Yelp / Foursquare apps is the way to go, instead of random nonsense. That way you give users total control over what they want to see. These apps already can be personalized to suggest relevant venues that match the user's specific preferences including taste, environment, social setting, distance from current location, budget, etc...

I agree, it was a cool feature in theory; but never reached its potential. Customization options could have made it a really useful feature.
