[SOLVED] Help. What is this icon in my notification tray?

Can anyone tell me what this bullseye icon is (red arrow pointing to it)? It's bugging me and I want to turn it off. Just started sometime in the last hour. Tried uninstalling a few apps I recently installed, but no change.

[SOLVED] What is this icon in my notification tray>
Posted this at ppcgeeks too and they told me its a GPS icon from a custom ROM. When the GPS is turned off, it shows like that so you know it's off. When you turn it on, it shows the normal crosshairs GPS icon.
I just flashed to Calkulin's ROM last night and hadn't noticed it since my GPS had been enabled up until recently.
EDIT: I also had a few requests at ppcgeeks about what a few of my widgets or apps are. Below are the responses I gave in case anyone here has the same question(s).
That's the Gmail Unread Count Widget (Free) - LINK
Battery is Battery Indicator Pro ($.99) - LINK
I am not running Sense, but instead the latest ADW. I have the weather toggle widget for the clock and weather using an HTC skin. Works in landscape too.

It's the sniper detector. I'd move away from any windows. If outside, take cover.

Apps and whole folders disappearing

I've had an issue with my S3 since I first got it. Sometimes I'd update an app and it would disappear from where it was originally put, either in a folder or on one of the screen pages. Last night I had a whole folder disappear without updating anything. On the screen shot, it was located in the upper left corner, the folder was named "entertainment". It's not in any other folder, another page or anything, it's just gone. Has anyone else had this happen? The phone is stock, no ROMs, not anything. I'm running GoLauncher, WidgetLocker and 2x Batter Saver, that's about it.

Just an idea, but I use GO Launcher too, and sometimes when I install/update an app it gets placed at the end of the list in the app drawer...so I always do another sort (alphabetically) to get them back in the right order.

Flash the mod, go to 3Minit in app drawer, check either "Remove Carrier Text" or "Custom Carrier Text"

well i tried that and it crashed my phone.. it sticks at the end of my boot animation and the backup I did well it wont let me restore .. next idea?

Install xposed mod... Then xblast for xposed... Tons of other mods for xposed also

I had to reflash my rom again now it is up working fine again. still no carrier removed. but that's only a small thing I am not worrying of it any more.

Birthday notification

Hello friends, I have DN3 5.2 rom on N7100 and this notification of birthday of my friends is killing me. It does not show every day, but sometimes, and i just can not turn it off. I unchecked options for birthday in callendar, even greenify this app which is called "homescreenfestivaleffect", and it is no good. I can force close it but after some time it shows again. Eventually I uninstalled app, and no effect. This app came with rom so i suggest that somebody must have same problem. Thx

Long hold will give you a menu with app info. That will give you the exact application. That one can be removed or maybe these notifications can be removed.
Maybe you can revoke the right to notifications to that app, effectively removing all notifications for that app.

You can't long hold on this, nothing happens

Ok, you can try to find the correct app by long-pressing on a notification, or going into Settings > Apps and then selecting the app for which you want to disable notifications. Tap on the check mark box next to Show Notifications and accept the warning. Going forward, you'll no longer receive notifications for that specific app.

[Q] How to disable slide-down overlay notifications that recently started appearing?

I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find an answer on the forums.
I'm running 4.6-BETA5 on my Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 Int'l.
In the last couple of weeks I've started getting notifications overlaying themselves at the top of the screen, as in the following screenshot whilst the eBay app is being updated:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is annoying if several apps are updating one after the other, because it makes the quick settings drawer unreachable.
I've been using PA for ages without this issue so I'm sure it's a change I've made recently - except I can't work out what.
When I first got PA I found, as others have, that Chrome was opening in a floating window so I followed a guide involving something to do with Xposed Framework and the module XHaloFloatingWindow. Recently I believe there was an update to that module, and I'm wondering if by updating the module I've somehow enabled overlay notifications (or whatever they're called). It was some time ago that I first messed with Xposed and I cannot find the original guide I used to mess with the floating window thing.
So, is it possible to turn off this overlay style of notification?
Thanks.
Chris

It's called Hover. You activated by tapping the Hover icon in your notification drawer...just disable it the same way you enabled it. By tapping the icon.

Thanks for the reply - I feel stupid now! I was looking on the quick settings menu and hadn't even considered the icons at the very top change between quick settings and notifications menu. Cheers!
