I'm sure this has already been answered, but since I can't figure out how to search within the 148 pages of support for PocketZenPhone I'll have to ask again.
Is there a way to remove icons for the profiles I'm not using? I know I can disable them with the checkbox, but the icons still show up.
Thanks,

Go to settings, privacy, and un-check the box for show message text in the lockscreen section. Once you open privacy in settings it's pretty easy to figure out.

Hmm I don't know about BAMF I'm on Gingeritis VIII. I though that setting was always there tho even on stock. May have to ask in the BAMF thread or maybe someone else will come along. Sorry.

I have the same problem. How the hell do I disable text on lockscreen?
Might not be the perfect solution, but you could always try GO SMS Pro. That app has tons of different options for notifications. Hope it helps.

I have found another way around this if you don't mind using the AOSP lock screen.
The AOSP lockscreen will NOT display the contacts name or any part of the txt msg.
Use rootexplorer and go to the /system/apps folder and re-name the "htclockscreen.apk" to "htclockscreen.apk.old" then reboot your phone. If you ever wanna go back, just change the name back and reboot.

thanks for the tip, it works great!
BTW, did you have issue on data connection when you change the lockscreen. I have a feeling it's probably not, but just want to ask since I am losing data connection after I made the change. Probably its Verizon flacking ...

Ok, has anyone been able to figure out how to change the notification sound of the built in Email client? (Not Gmail). It's an annoying bell and I see no option anywhere to change it. I've been through the system settings AND through the email settings -- maybe I am missing something.
Also, is there a way to change the water sounds to the regular Android sounds?
Thanks in advance!!
Not sure about email client but to change to android sounds u need to root.
Extract ringtones u want from a different Rom...ie an S2 ics Rom for example.
Then use root explorer to place new tones in /system/media/audio/ringtones.
Reboot and the new tones should show up in settings for u to select. .
Hope this helps.

Mine show up under the email settings...
Open the e-mail>>settings>> select the email address that you have added... scroll to the bottom... Notification settings...
This is a per e-mail account setting so they are "hidden" under each attached account

Thanks! I'm already rooted, but there is no option to change touch tone sounds, even if I added more to the directory.

So basically it's just like the Gmail settings then? Cool. Thanks.
Found them, they are all in the UI directory. One controls touch, one is for back, etc. They all have to be changed in order to get rid of the 'water' sounds.
It's called: /system/media/audio/ui/
The two files I have found so far are:
TWTouch.ogg
S_HW_Touch.ogg
Now if I could just find the standard Android touch tones somewhere.
I have an Apex AP-GS918 (Nobis NB09) tablet with rooted stock Jellybean Rom. There is an annoying screenshot button on the bottom bar next to the volume button that I keep pressing accidentally because it is in a bad spot. I wish to disable it or remove it completely. I have searched the forums but all the answers seem to be for Samsung devices. They say to change the quick launch in the settings which I do not have. And they say to remove or disable the system app that controls it, they have different names for the app like screenshotcapture.apk and such, but there is no system app with that or similar name.
If anyone knows a way to be rid of this annoyance, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I was unable to find an app to disable, and you were correct that it was part of SystemUI.apk. But I found out how to remove it from the bar. I am unable to post where I found the method because I am not allowed to post outside links yet, So I kind of wrote a tutorial (if you can call it that).
I decompiled my SystemUI.apk using Android Multitool on my PC. I edited \res\layout\system_bar.xml.
The info about the buttons are there. I found the line labeled
Code:
@id/screenshot
and changed the following code after it
Code:
android:layout_width="@dimen/navigation_menu_key_width"
to
Code:
android:layout_width="0.0dip"
which makes the screenshot button 0 pixels wide, meaning not there anymore.
Then I recompiled it, opened the new apk using 7zip and copied the edited xml from it to the original apk to prevent signature failure (after making another backup of it of course), used ADB to push it, permission it, and reboot it. After that I was free of that %$#@ button. I now have to use a third party screenshot app from the play store, but it doesn't have a constant button that leaves me with 50 accidental screenshots a day.
It also works to remove the volume buttons, which are pointless when you have the hardware buttons. Those lines are labeled
Code:
@id/sub
@id/add
(on my device anyway). It does NOT work for the 3 dot menu button, but that one isn't so bad to have there.
Take that you cheap Chinese tablet.

I got it to go away. The method is in the original post. Thanks for the info that got me going in the right direction.
How/where can I get one? I need it on my home screen. I have XtroLite 1.2.2. The BT widget should open the BT settings. Thank you.

Not the place to post questions. How about Playstore. Bluetooth Widget....
I don't agree with you. This is the the theming and apps forum for GS S5. A widget is part of a theme or an app so I do consider that this is the right place. Anyways, thank you. I found in the Play store what I needed.
Moderators, if you find my post not appropriate for this forum please move it or delete it. Thank you.

Sorry you don't agree. But again...in any case a lot of useless posts being posted in lieu of using Google...your best friend or simply search the Forum posts. My 2c. Happy to have helped.
With all due respect for the fact that you have 10 times more posts than me and without rambling about the free internet and expression I'm going to say only that. This is a moderated forum and would be nice if only moderators can judge and act if this is a useless post or not.
By the way do you know how to resize a widget which is fixed and Nova cannot resize it. It is labeled as 1x1 but it way bigger than the other widgets (playstore - widget bluetooth by greenlos).
Thanks and have a good one.

I'm not here to judge. I'm here to help. Let's start over. The KISS method. Keep it simple (I won't say the last, since it wasn't intended)
Instead of a widget per se, how about a shortcut. Go to your widgets and look at settings shortcuts and simply create a shortcut to Bluetooth. That should work. That should give you the same size as all your icons I would think. I use this method a lot, such as direct message or direct phone call shortcuts to certain contacts I want immediate access to, instead of opening a phone app or a message app. In nova, you can drag down to the dock too. Hope that helps.....Sorry again if you took my posts the wrong way. Not here to judge.
No worries. I didn't take it personally. We're all good.
Well the KISS method didn't work. The Bluetooth Widget from Playstore installed as a widget. I cannot find it in the apps drawer nor in the shortcuts list. It is only available through the widgets list. This widget has a double function which I like it. One tap turns on/off BT and double tab enters the settings for BT but unfortunately it is double in size than the others and it looks really ugly. Nova does not give me the option to edit it so I cannot change the icon with another one. I may have to look for another option.
Thanks for your help.

You misunderstand what I suggested. Let me open Nove and give you step by step. IOW...you don't have to use the Playstore widget. You use a direct shortcut setting instead.
EDIT: I have Nova Prime, but the XNote ROM is acting weird. I can use TW launcher, create a shortcut looking at the widget selections to Settings:Bluetooth and that works. IOW go to the settings choice and then all the various settings choices open up. Choose BT and then you have a direct shortcut to BT on your desktop. Yeah it's nice the single tap vs double tap the playstore app gave you, but you can't resize the 1x1 unless you get into editing the widget itself, and I won't go there here. But with Nova, you long press the screen and choose shorcuts, then settings then BT and I get app isn't installed? Weird.
I didn't.
If I can find a shortcut to the BT settings would be great but I tried and got permission denied.
The reason why I'm looking for this kind of widget with double function is that I have all the time BT devices around me (10-15 all in total). They're everywhere and accessing through settings takes one more click and I also have the problem that I don't associate visually the settings icon right away with BT so I'm going all over the place for it.
You're right though. Finding a way to place a shortcut on the home screen is easier than modifying the apps icon size and shape.
Another solution would be if i can find a way to create a shortcut for the BT quick setting.

Touch wiz launcher lets me do this. Nova doesn't and Holo doesn't. Try what I say to see. In settings change default launcher back to Touch Wiz. Then scroll the widgets for settings. Open that up and create a desktop BT shortcut. You should see all your devices simply opening that up. I don't know why the other launchers are creating havoc. Guess it's a Kit Kat thing. Don't know.
Edit: Hang on...I think I May have a fix., It is a KK thing that google messed around with permissions. Testing something.....
Thank you. We'll do.

Didn't work. I have some urgent stuff I need to get too. All I know is prior to 4.4 this wouldn't be an issue, in the reading I have done. I thought I found something that would allow to edit the permissions to run called com.findsdk.apppermission on Playstore. But looking at that I could not find anything to actually go from off to on(allow). So that said, it's either 1. a larger widget. or 2. Touchwiz launcher that allows a BT shortcut. If I think of anything, I'll try to get back. I even hoped it would be a SU (superuser) easy fix...but nope. Anyway...I don't like being beaten by an issue such as this...so I will keep it on the backburner.....:good:
No problem.Thank you again.
