Stock Apps after MM update - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5

Took the OTA MM update last night and notice that I can no longer change the stock messaging Bubble design or colors, only the chat background. Is this is feature that was removed?
I also notice that my signal just says 4G now and not 4G LTE in the status bar. I thought I remembered reading that this changed, but was hoping the official version wasn't this way.
On a plus side, the stock alarm in the Clock app can now adjust snooze settings! No more need for a 3rd party alarm clock app for my use.

You are correct about the messaging bubbles. No longer able to change bubbles (unless you change to a theme from the theme store)
Regarding the 4G LTE icon... it should still be there if you're getting LTE, unless you are using the GoodLock UI from the Galaxy Apps store.

*#*#4636#*#* I went there and in the proper location make sure LTE is selected. Mine wasn't. Was on wcdma/gsm auto put it on LTE/Gsm and it worked.
Yeag hate that I can't change the bubbles on mms. How do we make our own theme.

[Q] Messaging app icon showing 1 unread.

Read every message individually, showing 1 unread on app shortcut icon.
Deleted all messages, still showing 1 unread.
Any suggestions?
happens to me the odd time, leave it, it will go away. it's an odd but rare bug!
Leave it?
It's playing havoc with my OCD!!
I had that a lot. Then I started using the Gmail app and updated it from the Market. Since then I haven't had that problem.

No, I'm talking about the stock sms messaging shortcut icon (as found in the bottom toolbar as standard).
what version of the play you using?
like gsm cdma?
happen to me also but it the stupid visual voicemail from verzion lol kept showing up as a txt
i can confirm that bug on 4.0.A.2.368 UK Generic. Using GO SMS Pro but stock messaging app icon shows a number 1 on a circle. good thing it's not on my homescreen. just use a 3rd-party messaging app and replace the stock sms app icon instead. you won't be bothered anymore, as i bet you barely visit your app drawer as i do.
I got the same problem on mine, v annoying!

Bar Control & access to hiden settings

Hey folks I downloaded an app off the Market called Bar Control. This app basically allows you to pin frequently used apps to your notification bar, in short its a multi tasker.
What's odd is that I thought I would merely have access to the apps in the app drawer but once I installed it & went to pin apps to my notification bar, it gave me a crap load of what I guess are system functions. I don't know what alot of them do as I'm not to savvy in regards to that area.
Some examples are:
APN's
Auto Answer Without Device
Auto Reject List
Battery Read
Camera Firmware Standard
CDMA Options
Cell Broadcast SMS
Check MSL
DATA
Device Administration Settings etc. etc
I point this out because maybe some of the info could be of use to someone or our more technically savvy members..
Maybe it's no big deal but I just wanted to point it out.

[Q] Brightness slider

I'm new to AT&T from T-Mobile and unlocked phones, so please bear with me.
So, the brightness slider in the pull down: per a Google search, I am supposed to have the option to uncheck it so that it won't be visible. I don't, and I'm assuming AT&T removed it. Is this correct?
Carrier label text in the status bar: assuming this can't be removed without root. Correct?
Those are the 2 most obnoxious things so far. Thanks guys!!
Edit: one more thing. I am using Smitten SMS and have delivery reports checked, but I'm not getting them. Does AT&T not support them?
No one knows??

without root, you can't remove those two.
The check beside the slider is to activate auto bright. Neither of these can be fixed without root.

I was referring to unchecking it in the notification panel settings. I saw a screenshot online where the international version has that option in that settings page. So it appears I was correct in assuming that AT&T removed it.

the option to hide the brightness slider is not available on the att/vzn/tmo versions, I can't speak to Sprint. I don't know if you saw a stock international feature, or just a root mod that just happened to be on an international model.
no, the awful carrier label is stuck there till root, I hate it as well. if you have even 1 notification up there tho it will go away. now that I type this it gives me the idea for a workaround; an invisible notification bar icon. that'll do the trick to get rid of that att label.
att does not support them. and actually, delivery reports don't have a standard protocol for reporting. carriers send out sms, but have nothing in place to see if it was received. tmobile can tell you if the recipient is another tmobile user, and iphones using imessage (are they even allowed to use anything else? idk) have a check built into the imessage app which will tell you if another iphone read it, but they can turn off this feature in their iphone settings so again.. this isn't truly reliable.
semi related note, give Textra a try, it's a better messenger app in my opinion.
lastly sorry it took so long for anyone to reply to you. k goodnight

Some feedback/issues on Carbon

First off, I love Carbon, so far the favorite of the ROMs I've tried out. Second, my post count is too low to post this in the actual carbon thread.
I've got a couple issues/bugs I'd like to report noticing.
1) the pop up notifications, like text messages, phone calls, etc. seem to run off the side of the screen when in vertical mode. when in horizontal (landscape, etc.) mode it fits okay. When it's standing up though, I'll miss text data and a button.
2) Occasionally when picking files to attach to e-mails or text messages, the file picker thing will crash and may need to be relaunched a few times. Not sure if that's an app problem or part of the ROM, but putting it out there.
3) When switching from local to roaming data, I've had to manually switch APN's from TMo LTE to the normal epc.tmobile.com APN and my roaming data will work again. When returning back to in network, I manually reset to IPv6 fast.t-mobile.com... Not sure if there's a way to automate that or not, but posting my manual fix.
Outside of these issues though, it's much nicer than stock, and my battery life has almost tripled. Keep up the good work!
For the Carbon popup issue I'd post over on the G+ community for it https://plus.google.com/109453683460749241197/posts

Any good auto sync data toggle applications? Or options?

I had a auto sync data toggle in the notification toggle bar on my S7 Edge and Note 7 but don't have one for the Pixel. I know i can go to settings>applications>menu dots> toggle on/off, but that is a hassle when i forget it before heading to work. I use this option a lot so that i can get work emails, and scheduled appointments throughout the day. I would turn it off after work, unless i'm on call, i often forget to until i either notice my phone blowing up due to email notifications or see the toggle still active. Does anyone else use this option as often as i do? Is there a good app i could get that will allow me to quickly toggle this option on/off without going through a bunch of different settings/option windows? I found a couple, but they have ads everywhere which is annoying for only using it for one task. Thanks.
Found an app called QuickTile which does exactly what i needed. Took me a little bit to figure out how to make it right but it works great. A great app if anyone else is interested. I also get a promo code to get the pro version from the developer ascsa.
