Request: How to remove Location Notification Icon - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

Is it possible to remove the Location Notification Icon from the Notification Bar? I am Not Rooted (and do not plan to until things are settled down a bit.
I am on the Verizon Galaxy S 3 Stock Everything.
Here is a screen capture with the icon in question

"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

That's the e911 icon, and all I saw in the threads was to delete the images associated with it.. Although that will just lead to an unusable blank space on the taskbar..

well that sucks, its a rather annoying icon, thanks for the help

Yea, I was spoiled for 1.5 years with custom ROMs which had it removed.. Still looking for a legit solution which removes it completely..

We have to wait for a custom Rom to remove it.
Just curious what things are you waiting to get settled down to Root? I think the method we have now works pretty well, at least for me

Being as I have a Verizon Galaxy S 3 I want to wait for the Kexec Kernel method to be functioning and out the door with a bit of feedback prior to rooting my device. As far as features that i used to "hack" into my phones the only one that the GS3 does not have out of the box is the ability to block ads. Everything else it already has (moving from a D3 with CM9 on it)

Odined a rooted stock recovery and installed TWRP recovery.. Better than having nothing or waiting for something to happen with the bootloader..

when you do that does it do a wipe of the phone?

Thanks for this, good work also im running the black and red and its sweet
I am rooted but when I try to install it simply says Application not installed. Do I need to flash this in recovery or manually put it in my system folder or something other than installing it normally?

You have to extract its contents like the op says there is 6 apk files in that zip

Yes, I know. I did that. When I extract them and then try to install blue.apk it fails on me. I'll try the mediafire one this time and see if maybe something happened to my downloaded dropbox one.
Edit - Yep, still won't work for me. I am running the gingerbread-shift-deck rom if that matters. Seems weird considering I could install the updated market posted by thronnos a few days ago.

Yes you can
Is it ass easy ass just copy "defaultthemes.apk" into system/app witht the permisions of the original file and reboot? Ill answer my own question: Yes it is..I didnt even have to reboot.
Would you mind editing the "White" theme to having grey and white text boxes in the text app?
The pink was kind of "to mutch".
Is this difficult to port to xperia mini?

are only the pictures changed or also the status bar ?
Looks nice thanks for this
Thanks so much... very nice themes.
great job, just hope to include better wallpapers.. anyhow thanx and keep it up
I managed to add themes to the package instead of overwriting them. Just decompile and add your files using unique names. Then make sure the uid's are sequential (+1, use a hex-dec generator). Or you can use the file from my Black and White theme as a base for 10 additional wallpapers.
Thanks, it worked on my Neo V rooted, with locked bootloader.
Had to reboot to get themes working.
Is there any easier way to keep stock themes and just add this new themes, instead of overwriting?
i really like the white one.. but can you change the color in messages.. its pink -_-
is work with rom 4.0.2.a.62?
great theme works well

[APP][MOD][DEODEXED] Message+PRIME.apk from CODIS (no MMS compression)

This is a deodexed version of the SMS apk from CODIS 1.1.1. I modified nothing in it, I just wanted to have the features it provided with a different, deodexed ROM, so I deodexed it.
It has MMS Compression disabled along with color icon (like a mini version of the actual app's icon) for the notification icon, rather than the default flat one.
You'll need to install this manually, overwriting the current Message+PRIME.apk located in /system/app/ (or optionally renaming the current one with a .bak after the ".apk" and then just pasting the modified one from this post) and make sure permissions are correct. Then, Reboot.
Definitely not a bad idea to wipe cache and davlik, either.
I may make a flashable zip at some point, just thought I'd share this as-is for anyone interested.
Thanks to chingy51o for permission to drop this, and team Mik for a great ROM and the changes for this apk in particular.

Requesting a livewallpaper

Hi guys,
I've seen videos on youtube about the Wind Turbine livewallpaper that comes preinstalled into the galaxy series and I think it's realy cool. I have downloaded couple of apks from various websites but they are either outdated or don't work on my Nexus 4... Can someone be kind and extract the apk from their phone and upload it somewhere so I can download it?
Thanks.
Here you go
http://db.tt/VOgfA587
Although I think it might need other apps ie. Possibly accuweather as it displays live current weather I do believe

It cannot install on my Nexus 4 unfortunately even after installing accuweather but thanks anyway. I hope someone will create something similar or at least make Samsung's one work on other devices as well...
EDIT: If there is a file called secretwallpaper then can you please upload it as well because I think that it's a part of the wallpaper and might work if I install it too?
This is the actual apk from the S3 no idea if it will work on your Nexus, don't rename it leave it as it is called, it will show as Windy Weather in your live wallpapers if it works
Download the WindyWeather.zip, extract the apk from inside the zip and install

Side load it and set permissions, if that doesn't work then I guess it needs porting

I tried side loading but it didn't work and don't really understand what you mean by permissions. I am not rooted if that matters...

Yup it does, you will need root to move it to system/apps and set permissions

[BOOTANIMATION][[07/10][AOSP/TW] Google Play Edition Boot Animation, Full Rotation!

I've whipped up a Google Play edition boot animation, with full rotation.
If you look at the original boot animation from google, you will realize its does not have a full rotation of the "flower". Focus on the yellow dot:
{
"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_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It only goes around halfway before starting over. If you're neurotic like me, this makes your skin crawl
This animation has been edited to have a full rotation:
The dots go all the way around now! :victory:
To install:
For Google Edition/AOSP ROMs, flash this:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7r1gfrm1vXoTmRvNzdYSFVSYXc
For TouchWiz based roms, flash this.
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7r1gfrm1vXoVEpqcGktTU9LVlE
Credits goes to dankoman for bringing us the bootanimation zip so that I could recompile it into qmg's, and to sgosiaco for bringing the original HTC One M8 / Galaxy S5 version down to our phone's resolution and posting it over on reddit, and a BIG thanks to Tylorw1 for helping me create a version for TouchWiz ROMs.
Oh, and as always, if you want to use this in your ROM or whatever just drop me a PM and credit me for it
Happy flashing!
hmm never noticed this. now it bothers me lol. thanks!

Not a problem. Did you flash it, or push the qmg's into your system manually?
hmm. I flashed it on Stock rooted NC!1. It works, but the animation is really slow. Any ideas?

It is. By default TouchWiz ROMs run boot animations at nearly 1/3 of the speed as the Google Edition ROM I run. I am currently working on getting to work fully.

Scroll your mouse over the the top of the white box and a little control bar will come down. There will be a little download icon on it. Click that and it will download. :good:
It will only work if you are signed into your Google account though.
All I get is a black screen on TW KitKat 4.4.4
