[Q] Hiding Blocking Icon - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys,
I use this function to prevent being disturbed at night.
However I hate the Icon associated with this feature. Is there a way to hide this (phone is rooted) without using Exposed framework etc?
Thanks,

I assume that you are talking about the notification icon. The notification icon is a feature implemented to let the user know that the phone is in Blocking mode, which is pretty important considering that one might miss phone calls and alarms if using the phone in this mod without knowing. So the icon is a pretty important indicator that cannot be removed only by messing with the framework. I am sorry to be disappointing you, but there's no other way.

I'm not sure I agree. The blocking is only setup for early hours of the morning. Why do I need to know Blocking is enabled for the rest of the time. Also it is set to allow those I consider important to call. As such I don't need or want it.
I also think your wrong that this can't be done as a Google search shows a mod to do just this is available for the s3 however I'm not going to flash that.
I could just install exposed but I find it has negative effects with my rom.

It is possible by editing the framework, for sure. Go ahead and try the app. You can also edit the framework manually in order block any icon in the notification bar. That would clear any other secondary effects of that app, but also would involve messing with the rom files

[Q] Apps

I know this topic has probably been talked about already, and I am pretty sure I have already read a thread exactly like mine, but the question gets asked and then it goes off in different directions not giving an exact answer.
I have a Galaxy Nexus, brand new as of Saturday Jan 4. As soon as I got it, it got an update, I'm guessing to Android 4.0.2 since that is the version I have. My question has to do with My Verizon Mobile app, the Books app and the Email app. Will disabling these apps screw up anything with the phone, like are they very connected to any other apps or setting with the phone ?
Also, is disable like delete, if not how do I truly delete an app ? And while on topic of getting rid of things i dont use that wont effect the phone/other apps/anything, what other stock apps that come on the phone from the start could I get rid of with no side effects at all ?

Those 3 should be able to be disabled with no adverse effects.

Disable is just like it sounds. It removes the app from menus and stops it from running. In order to fully 100% delete system-level apps, you must be rooted.
There are many different threads/lists of "safe to disable" apps.

[Q] Remove touchwiz lockscreen?

I have been searching for a solution to this forever, but cannot find one. I want to completely and utterly remove the Touchwiz lockscreen and replace it with the stock one. I know it is doable as I found instructions for how to do it, but they were unfortunately rather over my head. Is there an easy way to do this?
Please note, I am not talking about simply disabling it and replacing it with some third-party unit from the play store. I'm talking mucking around in the /system folder and deleting it entirely.
Thanks.
Could you link the information ???
That would help the group understand what you are looking at. ..

To answer your question, no, it's not this easy. Lockscreen simply does not fall into a certain file or folder. It is tied into framework-res, SystemUI, and Settings.apk. Removing as much as you can will likely break Android OS as this is a system level thing and is tightly integrated. Your only option is disabling. If you can't disable it thru settings, where you set it to none but it's still slide to unlock, you can use Tasker and an on-boot profile to disable keyguard action. That will cause your device to show launcher when you click power button.
Hope this helps,

[Q] Besides recent apps, a quick way to switch between current and most recent?

While I study for the GRE, I do a lot of switching between OneNote and some other app ( eg dictionary ). Considering the slowness of loading recent apps, it gets a bit annoying considering the number of times I need to switch between the two. Hoping for a way to switch between the two most recent apps without actually going into recent apps.
Can either app work in multi view?
Onenote is for reading so would rather avoid having a split view

You could try MW enabler (Search for it in the play store) It doesn't require root, and it would allow you to take one (or both) of the apps and shrink them down into a bubble, that you could easily open and close and hide. In your situation it might be an option.
There are some limitations due to it not needing root... the 2 biggest are that it has to uninstall and reinstall the app... you will lose whatever you have unless you have it backed up somewhere (wouldn't think its a big deal for a dictionary) and you need to turn OFF auto updating for those apps, because if they update from the play store you will lose the multi window/bubble feature until you re-activate it.
Yeah not sure if I like that option thanks for the info. If it irritates me enough the next few days I will likely reconsider

Didn't know this was possible without root. Awesome! And it removes it from the list of installed apps for you so no fear of auto updates.

Give switchr a try. l set it up in "Flow" mode and use a right side edge trigger. Seems to work well for switching between applications.
Umm just drag your finger down and in from the top right corner of the screen while in app. Then you can minimize it to a bubble or have multiple apps open at once on the screen.
right you can windowize the app... then all apps that are windowed can be iconized by pressing the home key.
I'll have to watch a video on YouTube to see what you're referring to. New to this whole multi window thing

Got it up and running. Needed to make a few changes (enabling certain apps with Package Disable Pro), but other than that it seems snappy. Will have to see how some of the extras work before I can form a solid opinion.
Does wifi calling and volte (HD voice) still work with the official Tmobile nougat release?

So do you have to use both the pc and phone or was the directions trying to say you could choose the method?
No replies here folks.... Somebody is going to have to step up and do the mod and report back for us on tmobile. We need a volunteer.

Actually your directions are not that easy to read or understand.
The OP states a list of steps to take "from PC" and none of those steps other than running the bat files are done from your PC. They are all things don't from phone.

They are clear to those actually looking to use it Instead of just looking to argue a useless point the first person to try it got it and so did a few others. As I stated I quoted the original post so anything you are not clear on then you ask there. This is only to let us tmobile users know it works. Now I will go back to life outside of XDA and leave you to argue with yourself.
Question did it work for you? Did you try? Do you already understand adb? If yes to any above then you should be able to follow directions

If you guys are having trouble getting it to work you could always just install nova launcher and make it pretty much identical if not better than the original pixel launcher. Or else there is another app called nougat UI for Android that looks promising but I haven't tried it yet.

If you start a thread, even when you're just giving a link to more info people will ask questions. I've been there, started a few compilation threads over the past decade on XDA and it never fails... people hope that since you compiled the list you have the info... Not to mention it is a Verizon mod and tmobile people will have different questions. But you enjoy being an ass... I'm gonna run to Fred Meyers and grab some cookies.

I would reflash without wiping anything first. If it is only the launcher FC, a reflash without wiping might fix what ever went sideways during the initial install.

I've had trouble with Pixel launcher as well. No problems during the beta, but after "official" it mysteriously stopped working.
Working awesome here! Nice and smooth!
I found the easiest way to install this through adb is, make sure you have adb/fastboot installed on your computer, DL the play store mod file, extract it and all you have to do is CLICK on the play store rom.bat and it automatically opens the command window and the directions on there will guide you through the process.
MAKE SURE your home screen grid on the TouchWiz launcher is set to 5 x 5 as that is the default grid on the Pixel launcher. If it is set different on the TW launcher it messes with the Pixel launcher viewing. It offsets the app icon grid and makes icon s look crooked on the screen and widgets are all out of place also.

Tutorial: Workaround for Missing Notification LED by Always on Edge

Disclaimer: I am not Responsible for Burns on your gorgeous Amoled display or the Nuclear war triggered or your anything using by my guide.
As we have the Notification Led ditched by Sammy, we have a few alternatives. However, I have somewhat mimicked the missing features through Always On Edge.
Play Store Link: (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.used.aoe
I can understand that this has already been discussed, my purpose of this thread is to Guide you an effective configuration of the AOE app. Many people find the app difficult to configure as this is like a "One Page Website" containing almost all the options in the same place, therefore looking messy. Also, this app have several bugs yet I found this most reliable yet.
I don't claim any credit for the App.
Steps:
Please disable dear Samsung's Edge Light feature OFF.
Disable Window and Transition Animation off in Dev Settings if you don't like AOE flickering statusbar during notification reminder.
Install Always on Edge from the play store link above.
Go to AOE settings, Give the app necessary Permission.
Exclude the app from being battery optimized.
On How/When to Light section, select your preferences. In "When Notification Comes", select your apps to notify and set your preferred colour.
Turn Reminder on for 8 seconds in every 16 seconds.
On Edge Style, Select Stable (This helps reduce battery drain).
Check Adjust brightness, keep it at mid range or as you prefer.
On How to Close, select Double Tap to Close.
Now, on Enable Edge Lighting, keep it enabled, Select around Notch only. On the notch support settings, select Adjust manually and select the values 55,0,15,10, Right > 120 respectively.
This will make a smaller notification LED like light above the notch. We usually don't use that area so, it should be absolutely fine. With these settings, you get a working notification LED alternative.
I hope this helps a lot of us. These settings are my personal preference at this moment. I am also looking into Chainfire's Holey Light but that thing is a baby and drains battery plus does not notify when on battery and screen is off. So, I shall wait till other alternatives are available.
There's a Thank Button for Every Post That Makes you Thankful to the Author.
Why wouldn't you add this to the thread that already exists about this app?
I can understand that this app has been already talked about but why I made this thread is so that more people can get the guide easily and it does not get lost in the conversation. If moderators think it's duplicate and wish, they may merge it with the other thread.
Hi.
If I want to set it for missed calls and messages, what I have to select? Thanks
This is a proper location for this guide. It's where most users come to look for something like this. Look at the title of this section: "Guides, News, & Discussions"...
Leave it here, where it belongs.
And many thanks to the OP.

This app doesnt work properly for me, it only shows notification around camera ring after i wake the screen, whats the point of it than?
Not to mention often there is like overlay over regular losckreen so i need to unlock twice, it comes over fingeprint area so i cant directly unlock phone from screen off.
Reinstalled it 3 times already just to see if im crazy or not and redid from scratch following 100% guide from youtube or net.
What im doing wrong here or it works like that for all?
@ivicask,
I can't tell you what you're doing wrong, but it's not supposed to work like that. On my phone it notifies me as soon as a new message notification arrives. Try experimenting with some of the options. And read all the notices that the developer put in the app.

Can you check if the "Screen is Off" is selected in the when a notification comes section. Also, did you disable Edge Lighting?
These are my settings and it works perfectly fine and the notification light stays on until I dismiss it. The red circled area is what needs to be changed to leave the notification light on until you dismiss it.
In the last screenshot, you scroll down through that list to select the apps you want a notification light for. Whenever you install a new app on your phone it gets automatically check off in that list. Just something to remember.
In addition whenever you make a change you have to hit save at the bottom.
This setup also works with Samsung stock AOD.

I wish people would stop recommending this app. I have had 0 success in using it and having it work as intended. I have tried your settings, and once again this does not work for me; When I get a notification, the screen lights up, shuts off, and there is no indication that a message has arrived. There are like 3 threads on this particular program that also offer suggestions on how to get the program to "work".
Yes, Edge lighting has been disabled. I even went a step further and rebooted the phone, then installed the app. Used your settings, as well as the other settings that have been suggested and I have the same outcome, I just don't get it. I am sure that atleast 100 of the reported downloads are form me trying to get this app to work LOL.
I appreciate your time to try to explain how you managed to get the app to work, but is not reliable imho, and I really wish it were
I just use the AOD, as much as I hate it, it's about the only reliable way to know that a notification has arrived.

What are the other apps? I would love to try anything that would give me a working notification indicator.
You and I have a vastly different expectation when it comes to "working as intended". If it did work as intended, all of us would be able to have this app function correctly.
I also find it very convoluted and bloated. When creating a UI for any app, you should use the "user is drunk method". Meaning even if a person were intoxicated, they should be able to use the app. But that is neither here nor there.
I appreciate what the developer has done, I just haven't been able to accomplish the task at hand.

Not to mention often there is like overlay over regular losckreen so i need to unlock twice, it comes over fingeprint area so i cant directly unlock phone from screen off.
Reinstalled it 3 times already just to see if im crazy or not and redid from scratch following 100% guide from youtube or net.
What im doing wrong here or it works like that for all?

I have only a problem with this app.
When there is the notification I can't unlock the phone with fingerprint. I must wait the led/notch is off

I also have had the same problem. I normally used double tap to wake. It is however, present in this app.
Select double tap to close this app. And just use the fingerprint sensor to unlock the phone. It works. I have been using this.
About the Bloated UI of the app, I also agree with all of you. I also contacted the developer on this. He said he will look into this once the app become more stable.
Those, who could not get this app working, I'm sure there is some settings of your phone that are contradicting. For examplen if a notification wakes up the screen, this app will not notifiy. Moreover, yes, I have been using this app as my daily driver now. It does not disappoint me. I have used all the other apps available, Holey Light, Arc Lighting. None works as it should. They works as mentioned by the dev but those features are not the feature an LED-holic person is looking for. Holey Light cannot notify when not being charged. Arc notification ridiculously asks me to watch ad for every hour I use the app.
I am not being paid by the app developer to spread the words. I am spreading the word because it works for me and it SHOULD work for you also as we share the same device. There must be some conflicting app or settings. If anyone needs help settings this up, I would love to help.
