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.

Just rooted and installed the Absolution ROM and am loving it .
Just a few questions:
I want to change the wallpaper to one of my own, but can't find an option to do it - Or the folder where the 'stock' wallpapers are so I can put my own in there?
I don't want the email alert to go off everytime a push email arrives in Hotmail!! I have the notification sound set to silent for mail, but it seems to return to my default notification sound as soon as an email arrives?
Would ask this in the dev section, but I don't have enough posts to start a new thread!!
Any help??
For wallpaper you can normally change it from your launcher.
Clic on menu (key under the screen), wallpaper, choose Galerie and broose to the one you want on your SD.
This depend of your launcher, it's like this for ADW.
For notification sound, it depends of the mail application you're using I think.
You can define the default no in Sound in Settings (don't remember if you have detail or just global notification sound). Sorry, can't check more as I'm under ICS.

ADW > wallpaper only gives the option to intstall from Absolution wallpapers - No other option. So if I knew where it was storing those pictures I could save my own file in there.
The problem with the mail notification is that I can change the mail notification to silent, but as soon as a new mail comes through it resets itself to the global notification sound.
Cheers anyway.
I was browsing for 2 days now and still cant find the answer, is there anyway that i can assign a shortcut for a specific option on my phone settings?

My Zopper companion app (ZW Utilities) supports enable/disable toggles for Wifi, Data, Bluetooth and Flashlight, if that's what you are looking for. If you just want to open the Settings page for Wifi, you should be able to do that by opening the OnTap action dialog, swipe two times to the right to the "Shortcuts" page, scroll down until you see the "Settings shortcut" option. Tap that and you can select the settings sub page you want to open with a tap on the Zooper module.
Hope this helps you out and happy theming

I don't have any experience with the new Samsung devices, sorry. Might be that they don't have this feature in their system. Maybe another Samsung user can help you then.
oh gawd anyway thanks for your help mate

You COULD use Tasker to get the job done. You can literally hard code it to toggle on/off Wifi. Then, when you're done configuring Tasker, hop over to your Zooper widget and just point it to the Tasker profile you just made. Should allow you to toggle when you click on whatever object you place in Zooper. You can also do the same for data toggles, images, etc.
EDIT: I actually forgot that they integrated this. Configure your rectangle then click Module OnTap, scroll two screens over to the right, click "Settings Shortcut" and then chose Wi-Fi. Then back out to your widget, let it update and then click on the rectangle. It SHOULD take you to your Wi-Fi settings page. Hope this helps. :0)

Hm. You are right. Odd. Give me a few days to do some research, and I'll try get back to you with some sort of workaround.

Looks like we may have a solution: http://www.jagwar.de/en/zooper-wifi-toggle/
hi thanks for your research i really do appreciate that however base on my understanding it just creates a toggle where it enable / disable the wifi, what i was trying to do is open a wifi settings.. im not sure if i can do that with tasker.. im really terrible at programming
i will do my own research too, again i appreciate your time
thanks a lot
Oh, I see. Let me continue poking around and see what I can come up with. Unfortunately for you, I don't think it can be done on your phone, seeing as you're missing a vital element to make it work...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using XDA Free mobile app
yeah its such a shame that a new flagship that is supposed to be more powerful doesnt have this feature.. oh well i hope i can find a work around.
thanks a lot
To use Tasker:
Create a new task;
Enter a name for the task then click the check mark;
From the task edit page click the + at the bottom;
From the select action category list click settings;
Scroll to the bottom of the list then click WIFI settings;
You don't need to make any changes in the action edit page so go back to the task edit page;
Since your going to use the task as a shortcut you need to assign it an icon so click the icon on the bottom right corner (it looks like an app drawer icon);
Select an icon (it doesn't really matter which icon because for your purposes the icon will not display);
Then use the back button to completely back out of Tasker (this will automatically save the task).
From there just setup up your widget to launch a shortcut the task you just created.

Hey there, although your request can be managed by Tasker, I feel like you want a quicker/easier alternative. Coding can wait another day.
Download this app from the play store link then enter the OnTap property of your chosen Zooper widget module > Swipe once to the right > Select Wifi Settings from the apps list.
And you're done. Just tap on the module after a minute to let it refresh and you're set.
The free app is under 18kb so hardly resource intensive and more than makes up for the surprising lack of Settings shortcuts on your S5. (Seriously, my Note 2 has these basic shortcuts as does most stock/custom roms. I wonder why it didn't make it to the S5).
I have been equally frustrated by a similar situation. I want a widget that automatically takes me to the battery status.
I had built one before but was being thwarted by the lack of access to this setting. I thought I was crazy in not finding the settings be available. I dont really need a toggle for the wifi, but is there a suggestion for the battery settings?
i suppose I will play around with Tasker to see if I can figure something out, now that I know I am not crazy.
i may have found a quicker solution via a third party...
- install 'anycut' from the play store (icon ooks like a mushroom house)
- when setting up the 'on tap' part, point to 'any cut' under 'shortcuts' and let your mind be blown by the myriad of shortcuts provided, including the elusive wi-fi settings
enjoy
Cannot find option te set notification sound in messages app settings. It is possible in general device sound settings but causes the same notification sound in all apps. Is it solution ?
Open your message app
Next tap on the person message you want to customize the notification sound
Next tap on the 3 dots on the top right corner and select custom notification and tap one more time to enter the customized field
There look for sound
Thats it
Hope this helps
Unfortunately when you delete a thread with an individual where you have set a custom sound, the sound goes back to default.
You can also use Textra App. Amazing UI and customization with that app. Support Dev with pro version to unlock other useful features.
Only if you don't use RCS (well I can't find anywhere that third party apps support it).
If your looking to change the message app notification sound it self then do this

Yes that's it.
I didn't notice in first look that "new messages" and "general notifications" could be double tapped with further possibility to set sounds.
Thanks for that and for previous posts as well.
Hi All,
I'm using Nova Launcher 6 and Tesla Unread for years. The only thing that prevents me from updating to Nova 7 is the lack of Tesla Unread.
Is there an alternative to this addon?
Any update on this?
I'm not sure what you mean, tesla unread is obsolete we now have all the function built in Nova and Android. Enable notifcation access for Nova and select what kind dot, number customize color etc in Nova options. In order to select which apps use it and which dont you use android app notifcation settings individually and de-select use of the badge.

It is not the same functionality. As soon as you swipe the botifi ation away the unread count vanishes. Tesla unread always had a badge on the app icon with a count it never counted on the notifications.

I think that's the normal function, its an un-read count notifier, so it should go away once you've read or swiped away the notification, why would you want the number to stay, or am i misunderstanding?

But it's not how the old function worked. Previously TelsaUnread didn't rely on notifications for unread counts, ie. I don't want a notification for every work email I get, but I like the number showing on the icon.
To this day I am still using Tesla Unread and Nova6 for my unread message counter (for whastapp, gmail, etc.), is there no new solution?
The "notifications" counter doesn't work for me, since I have them disabled. I am not interested in a notification for each WhatsApp or for each email that arrives, which are dozens.... I want to know how many pending messages I have.
I don't understand this operation of android...
Hi there!
I don't know how they are called in the english original, but on my P6P I really miss the little dots e.g. on the Mail App when there are new messages.
In my options it has this option and it is on, but there aren't any of these dots. I really miss them, cause so you always have to pull down to see where there's something new when you are already using your phone.
Anyone a conclusion for me?
In the GMail app? I can't picture the dots.
That's called "Notification dot on app icon" and can be found in System Settings --> Notifications, down near the bottom.
It can also be turned on and off on a per-application basis by going into the application specific notification settings at System Settings --> Notifications --> App settings --> {whatever}, and switching on/off the option to "Allow notification dot" at the bottom.
But personally, I dislike this "feature". If the application notifies you, then why not click it instead of running around through your menus trying to find the one with the dot?
Thank you for the right name of what I'm looking for
But no I don't run around looking for these dots, I just open the phone and mostly there are WhatsApp or Mail news and I always have to look inside to see if there's anything new when I don't want to swipe down for my notifications.
The Settings are all set, but there are no dots for me!
Don't know if this matters, but I use the Nova Launcher.

You need to allow notification access in Nova for the dots or badges to appear. Go into Nova settings > Notification Badges and then tap the message at the bottom of your screen to enable read access to notifications.
You can also check if notifications have been disabled by going into System Settings > Notifications > Device and App Notifications and checking if Nova is enabled or disabled.
The hint with the settings brought me to the solution I think. It seems you need Nova Launcher Prime for the dots
