So one of the things I was excited about when I got this phone is that the Edge Lighting app would not include hole punch camera notifications. But when I reinstalled the app it wouldn't work! Wouldn't even open! I found this especially odd cuz why wouldn't an app developed by Samsung work on a Samsung phone? I ended up uninstalling it since it didn't work. Now I can't even find it in the Galaxy Store. Only 3rd party apps.
Has anyone else had this issue?
It was always a bit twitchy.
Make sure it has all needed permissions, notifications. Global power management may also screw it up ie adaptive battery and such.
Edge Screen is in settings under display if that's what you're referring too. At least on the N10+/Pie variant.

On my S9 Plus I had the Edge Lighting + app which gave additional animations. Those look to be standard on this model. So I guess the reason the app didn't work is cuz all those features are included now. I was able to find it. It's moved in settings to Notifications. In the pop up settings you have to select Brief to get the Edge Lighting now & then got into Brief Pop-up Settings to select which effect you want.
I was going to delete this thread but don't see the option. If a mod can delete it please do.

Good thread. If I do a search in settings for "Edge Lighting" I pull up that that page in my previous but also this one.
I can navigate to it through search but not otherwise. It's hiding
It may interacting with Good Lock which is firewall blocked to keep it from updating.

I will never use the Messages app to send a picture (yes, never. I don't have an SMS plan) so I'd like to be able to remove it from the sharing list from the Gallery. Is there any way to choose which apps show up in that sharing list?
Thanks.

Only by removing the apps. You could go into the Messaging App Info page, and Disable it. As a warning, though, Messaging is one of the core OS apps, and disabling it could possibly cause instability. I've never had any reason to try it, but just keep it in mind in case you have issues; you can always re-enable it.

Any idea if this is the kind of thing a custom ROM could enable: choosing which apps show up in the menu?

Anything's possible; that could certainly happen. I don't see it as being a very widely anticipated feature, though. Just out of curiosity, I'm not sure if you noticed, but after you've used the sharing menu a few times, it shows only your top 3 apps (technically 2nd, 3rd, and 4th) that you've used for sharing, and then a "See All..." button below it. Also, your foremost sharing app will show up as an icon to the right of the sharing icon. Example below, with imgur, Messaging, Kik, and Gmail.

Just use Quickpic is is really good. I use it as my main gallery. Also has the option to hide stuff.
Thanks for the ideas.
This icon has shown up recently in my notification bar and will not go away. I am struggling to find what app it is for. Any ideas?

Google Goggles didn't return any results. What have you installed recently?

Nothing new has been installed.
I was thinking since its showed up recently there was probable an app installed recently as well, since not.. did you maybe change any of the developer settings lately?
I'm guessing there is no additional info in the notif bar, right? cause if so, you can hold it down and select "app info" and then uncheck the "notifications tickbox". That works on any app that gives notifications you don't want, or if an app requires a persistent notification to function properly but you don't want to see the icon all the time.

You are correct. When I pull down the notification bar, there is no additional information for this icon (nor is the icon shown). I have not made any changes to my settings (that I am aware of) nor have I done anything in the developers settings...which is why this icon is throwing me for a loop.
Hmm. I cant think of anything else either, if something does come to me I will let you know. Hopefully someone else does know what that icon is for.
Mystery Solved....
Apparently my Notification Toggle App changed icons. I hate when that happens.
First day on new Samsung Galaxy S21 FE phone. After some hours, I noticed that I don't have a search features in Settings anymore. It was there as expected on Android, but now it simply disappears. Any idea what can change this behavior?
Additional info - I made debloat as instructed in XDA forum for Samsung phones. Maybe there was something which could damage it?
You debloated it Dependencies...
Be very careful what you disable especially with the smaller Samsung system apps. Some are useless bloatware, but many just sit there unless needed.
In Android 10 Samsung added dozens of small system apps that preserve the UI functionality and appearance. Android 9 on the same device didn't have them but both look and behave nearly identically.
The "damage" isn't permanent. Either undo the edit(s) that caused it or a factory reset will purge all the edits and revert it to factory default settings.
Tnx.
I didn't find a solution, so I made a factory reset.
Now it works again (until my next debloat session ).
I use a package disabler and block about 80.
Some of the lists I've seen are way more than I would do. Things like that settings search feature which can be useful at times.
I poked around a bit, this is the app that provides that service.

Tnx. As I wrote, I have already made factory reset. I will be now more careful

I really appreciate you making this comment even after OP had resolved their issue. It's very helpful for future people who end up searching Google for the same issue, like I just did, haha.
I found my search function missing as well and I figured it had to have been dependent on an app I disabled, but I couldn't imagine what app. Thankfully I landed here and your comment saved me a lot of time I would have spent scouring up and down the apps list.
Funny thing is I don't remember ever even seeing the Settings Suggestions app when I was debloating. I definitely would have figured out what that was for and not disabled it. I used the app "ADB AppControl" on Windows and I did run the "Basic" (lowest level) Debloat wizard, assuming it wouldn't disable anything so essential, but I'm certain that's what must have disabled it. So there's a warning for anyone else, always be careful with one-click solutions! Hopefully this helps anyone else who ends up here on another future Google search.
I recently debloated my new OnePlus 9 Pro. Everything seems to work fine (I did make sure to install replacement apps beforehand). However, today when I wanted to change the wallpaper (with a different "custom" photo), I noticed I can't do this any longer. Tapping on "album" (which is supposed to open a file picker where you browse to find a photo you want to use as a wallpaper) doesn't do anything:
{
"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If I tap on the second icon shown above (Inventive wallpapers), it still works and opens to this, as usual:
Here if I tap the second icon at the bottom, it will open the gallery app (I use the one from Simple Mobile Tools), where I can pick the photo. (However, I don't really want an "inventive" wallpaper.)
I suppose this second one uses the correct function to call whatever gallery app is set up as the default. And the first one probably wants something else - I suppose either stock Google Photos or Files apps, which I removed. Any idea how to solve this without having to install those two back?
Found the culprit: While de-bloating, I also removed com.oneplus.gallery which is the stock OnePlus Photos (because I figured Simple Gallery Pro from Simple Mobile Tools would replace the need for that as well).
So my assumption was right - the first icon calls directly this stock app, whereas the icon on the second screen finds the one gallery which is installed, or offers the choice to pick one, in case there are more installed.

Good to know and thanks for the feedback!
I am a new s22 user, I have turned off all animations in the developer settings, all animations are turned off except when you swipe up from the bottom in any open app to go to the home screen, the app screen does a little animation and shrinks into the app icon. it's pretty annoying. it only happens in gesture navigation mode, if you change it to the button navigation bar, pressing the home screen button at the bottom shows no animation. does anyone else experience this? I did all sorts of searches online, but the results are not consistent, it feels like it's a problem related to the android 12 rather than Samsung and many pixel phones have the same issue.
If you want traditional virtual buttons, Galaxy store>Goodlock family of apps>Navstar
One Handed Operation plus is another Good Lock app that allows dozens of swipe gestures switches from the right/left sides. Very customizable and uses almost no battery.

All stock N10+ using the above options. Edge is also active and can be used in conjunction with One Handed Operation plus.
doesn't really answer my question though, do you have s22/android 12 phone? would you be able to confirm for me even all the animations are turned off in the developer setting, the back-to-home/minimize app gesture still shows annoying animation? thanks kindly to anyone who can confirm this for me (so that I know it's a system problem rather than a problem with my phone/software)

Yes this seems to be OS level. I get the same behavior on both my S22 Ultra and Tab S7; both running Android 12. I use Microsoft Launcher on both, so it's not a OneUI (at least I don't think it is) feature. There doesn't seem to be a way to turn it off. At least not without digging in to the OS.
