Samsung good lock - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5

Received good lock this morning as a samsung app update
Holy cow is this ugly and annoying. There are some interesting features but I can't get around the magenta look. I can't find it to freeze it. Horrible

I got it yesterday there is a setting to change the color. routines>default>go thru the set up. Also you can uninstall it from the settings look for the icon in the app drawer.

Thanks. Finally found it. Can't keep up with all the new gestures. I'll give it a day but still think its ugly

What the heck is the point of a lock screen if one can now litter it with apps, widgets, and notifications?

Make sure in the stock app and in settings, notifications and sound that stock notifications are off

thanks guys, no bueno. It's very strange, I went and changed the sounds in the stock notifications, and turned them off again, and it still gives me the stock notification, with the stock notification sound. It's like it's coming from some where else but where? This just started about a week ago, I don't understand because I've been using handcent forever

Did you install anything from the market that can control notifications?

just figured it out, part of a beautiful widgets update pack had a sms widget, didn't even realize it. I actually wiped everything, used titanium back up, and added apps one by one texting myself in between each add to find it! I did that 18 times before I got to it. Oh well, it's funny now, but it really pissed me off!

hey i'm having the same problem that you were having and i wondering if you remember which beautiful widget you needed to delete that was causing the double notifications. Because this is driving me insane.

Hey I've found out exactly what widget it is,so no need to answer. For anyone that might have this issue. When you download beautiful widgets they came come with a sms widget also. You have to long press on your screen, select widgets, then scroll down to the beautiful widgets there should be a beautiful widget sms. Select that and then the option should come up which has the notification options you need to turn off.

Strange lockscreen on stock?

On stock rooted EL29 rom. When I press the home button I get put into a strange lock screen that has the weather and some icons on the bottom. I have no clue how this thing got activated but I can't figure out how to dismantle it.
Pic? really? I would love a different lockscreen.
This is the screen that pops up when I hit the him button (the arrow button): have no f'n clue how this crap came out of nowhere. The home button used to take me to my main launcher screen.
Wrong screenshots. Here: how do I get rid of this sheet! LoL...disregard the first two pics. I'm too damn tired

it is your "clock" app. I have no idea why it does this. but you need titanium backup or something like it. find the clock app and delete it. if the is a really easy way to get it to stop people let me know please. as this is the only way I have found out how to stop it. also just use a third party clock for your alarms.

[Q] Lolipop Notification drawer.. WHITE!!!

Oh god please tell me I can change this to the dark theme from KK. I looked in the settings and cannot find it.
Love this phone but I cant take it anymore without root and custom roms. 90749175791 ATT bloatware notifications, lag, and now horribly disturbingly ugly WHITE notifications in the notification drop down.
Someone tell me there is light from this dark tunnel.
30 views 0 replies, looks like the tunnel is getting darker. Selling Note 4 : 500 flat =)

Yeah, selling it is your best choice. There's no way to change that without root, and root is not looking good.
Cant you just downgrade to kitkat?
You can change it if you're willing to use a different launcher. Nova Launcher can do it, for example.

I don't think nova launcher does it. I have nova and don't see the option. I know you can change the notification bar. But don't see options for drop down menu.

I was going to say "Nova Settings > Drawer > Background" but I just realized I'm still on KitKat. Maybe it's different on Lollipop...

Thanks, actually I tried that, that setting is only for APP drawer not notification drawer. I still have a Note 3. Its sad but I may actually go back to Note 3 and give my wife the Note 4. Other option is to sell and go to another phone, not sure yet, the Note 4 with the gold versus case just looks too good

Nice find. If i reduce the size of the icons they fit perfectly in the edge.set to autohide and your ready to go.
Needs way to arrange the apps in the order you like but good other than that(Lists in order you add them at the moment)
yep, nice find; hope there are more like this coming for the edge!

Great find! And they say the edge isn't very functional.. lol
Thanks! This adds much functionality to the opposite edge and enables both sides to be utilized. I'll be curios to see what the battery consumption (if any) is.
I just downloaded and am going to give it a try, thanks.
I don't want to jump the post but I think since its in the same vein those playing with this sort of thing might want to give Swipepad a spin around the block. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.conduction.swipepad.android You have to buy into a number of different add on apps to get full functionality and I think the buy in is too steep for what you get but if the stock functions work for you it can be a nice add. Right now I have it set up as a grid of work contacts and it functions well in that use.
Edit... Ok, fiddled with the app, totally dig it. If the guy keeps going with it he has a winner.
It just needs more functionality otherwise it is the best i could have found. Thanks to the app developer
Great find, been looking for something similar to when I had my note edge. Started to live by the edge... This brings me that much close to it. Wish we could get/extract a working apk from the note edge. I tried to take the sidepanel.apk but I didn't take... Any thoughts?
Perfect app for the edge....just have to block notifications for it to get rid of the constant stat bar icon. Thanks for the find!

Go into your application manager in settings. Then choose this app and uncheck notifications.
Hold down tap on notification and select 'i' and then disable notifications for program.

Annoying start animation

Hi,
Very satisfied with my new phone, but ...
Each time I open an app it starts with very hard color taken from the icon of the app. Since the color is very hard, it is annoying. I disabled the animations, but stilll, the color is there. I have changed the icons of the apps to a less bright color, but this is not the right solution, I think. Any suggestions? Thanks, Natasa
Are you talking about these icons which show when we start an app?

to be fair it's only on for a split second, you could just use dark mode if it's to bright.

Yes could be that
But i can reach 4 more lines from top contact
Still prefer to see whole screen with logs
Before one ui my favorite phone app was on samsung phones becouse the ability to strat from where you close it
Only samsung does it
You can push on the screen upwards and it will vanish.
