Does anyone know what that top left symbol is in the notification bar? I have no idea what it is..
On Checkrom 3.5

Turn on notifications.

It means that notifications are turned off. You can turn them on by tapping Notification in the status menu: http://i.imgur.com/bipCg.png
(If you don't see that option, you may need to restore the original toggles - since I don't use CheckROM I don't know if its latest release is using the custom 15 toggles which IIRC don't have the notification toggle option)

Phone goes to Negative Colors automatically?

Hi ...
In last couple of days my SGSIII went to negative colors automatically without even touching that option and I had to reverse the colors manually to get original colors back.. I am not sure what could be the problem nor have any idea about why it's happening.
I haven't installed any such app that will do that or so..
So can anyone suggest me what to look for as I already factory reset it too but to no available..
P.S. - It only changed for three times and not more.. Also while talking there was some sweat on the glass, could that be a reason though it didn't changed it's colors at that moment but later..
Thanks.
Funnily enough this happend to me today. V. strange

I have the same issue with Omega 27.1 but every time after I disabled it, it automatically goes back to negative colors if I leave it idle for awhile. Any idea?

Are you using siyah kernel? Disable that toggle setting in it's settings..
Use Stweaks and under screen, negative toggle setting.

on Android 5.0.2 there is an option where you enable (and disable) negative colors by clicking 3 times the cetral button I was looking for a week what made my phone (samsung A3) turn on the negative colors. So, the easiest way is to go to settings and search for "negative colors", Its hard to explain where becouse my phone is on greek language but there are two options you have to uncheck in "Accessibilities". One option to turn on/of the negative colors and the other to turn off the option clicking 3 times the central button. Hope that is uderstude and helpfull
update: (ok found it in english)
go to "Settings", then "Accessibility" and tap on "Direct Access"
i got same issue on my samsung galavy V, but there is no 'negative color' button on my accesibility
can someone help me?

[Q] Button light for notification

Is there any app which turn on the light buttons if i have call or message notification? and thanks!
Yes. Backlight notifications (BLN) Can be activated on siyah or dorimanx kernel via exTweaks. For this you'd need to be rooted and be on either one of the above two kernels.. uses the LEDs of the two capacitive buttons like the notification LED on the nexus phones.

Yeah, but when noled app is active with a notification, screen led stays open....so it consumes more battery than touch keys i think.....

Not really. If you really knew what your phone is capable of... The LED "bulbs" which your screen is made of are turned on only if there are any colors to display.this means that when you have a wallpaper, half white half black, only the bulbs where the white color is will be turned on. The bulbs on the area of the black screen stay off and that means that having no LED indeed is more battery saving than turning on the backlights.

Not exactly. NoLED is actually a known battery sucker even on an amoled since the phone is awake all the while the notifications are on. The advantage though, as someone mentioned is its customizability.
BLN on the latest siyah can be used without wakelocks (BLNWW option in exTweaks) but you don't get the blinking/ breathing option if you activate BLNWW. On standard BLN (with wake locks) you can have breathing or blinking LED options. Also can set it so that it deactivates itself if the battery goes below a set threshold..which is why I'm assuming it didn't work for the OP.

Do they work if you use the test button. Look at the charging options too. I apologise if the "easy tick box" comments offended you.

[Q] Lightflow constant LED?

Hello everyone,
Okey when I had my Nexus and used the Lightflow app, and a certain notification popped up in the notification bar (that notification was setup in Lightflow with a blinking LED) with screen on it would also blink.
On my note2, if my screen is on and I get that notification, it doesn't blink. I have no idea why.
Anybody familiar with Lightflow? Any ideas how I can make Lightflow blink with screen on?
Sent from my AK-55
Have you checked out Lightflows settings to make sure that you have that checked? Also that may only be a option in the paid version of Lightflow. Im not very familiar with it but it should under settings I would think.
Edit:
Just treated it for myself and it works perfectly on the free version. Click on the app in you app drawer, click settings, enable root mode, enable Samsung mode, then set your apps up.
I tested it on a low battery and it wouldn't quit flashing or give me a notification to turn it off like it does with email and other apps so I had to set it to go off after one minute for the low battery warning. I think the only reason it didn't have a pop ip was because the battery was already at 9%. The light stayed on the entire time the screen was on also.

No problem, its a bit annoying when it wouldnt show the notification for the battery so you may have that problem in the future or it may just be cause I tested it with a low battery.

[Q] How to reset the status bar

Hi
yesterday I updated my SGS3 GTI9300 to the latest official 4.3 update.
The update progress worked fine with odin, but now I face a little problem.
In the status bar, the "eye" icon of the smart view feature is visible all the time. I know its cosmetic, it bothers me.
I guess it can be easily fixed if I clear the data & cache of the status bar apk...But I don't know which application it is.
Can somebody tell me how to fix it?

Most of the phones now have the smart stay icon permanently. (Even those running 4.1.2 like galaxy core, express,etc) It was just our S3 that wasnt like this during its 4.1.2. days.
Thats just an indication the smart stay is active and u can disable it from the notif bar.
However if you still cannot tolerate it then u can do some ROM editing of your own. IMO its not worth the hassle :/

No the icon is even there, if I deactivate it! This must be a bug, my friends doesnt have this. Only for a few seconds when smart stay checks if your eyes are there
If you install Wanam Xposed framework you can choose to hide the eye icon...
