There are several things that annoy me with the S3 that I hope can be solved, either through changing a setting or through installing something. Any help would be really appreciated.
1) The double-tap motion to scroll to the top of a webpage doesnt work for me, regardless of whether my phone cover is on or off. Motion settings and 'tap to top' are both on for me, so thats not the problem.
2) Can I ensure that the address bar is always showing when browsing the internet?
3) Is it possible to open the browser homepage to the bookmarks tab?
4) Is there a quick way to adjust the brightness without having to open up settings > display > brightness?
5) Can I customise the notifications at all?
Some of these points may be quite basic, but considering I am a new Android user, I have yet to find solutions. Thanks for the help!
#4, get Quicker in Google Play.

Thanks for that, but is there anyway to tweak the default browser rather than using another?
One more issue:
6) The keyboard/dictionary doesn't auto-capitalise the new letter of each new sentence. How to solve this?
Tap to top doesn't work for web pages, says right on the device its for contact lists, email lists and email messages.

settings -> language/input -> samsung keyboard settings -> checkbox for auto capitalisation
In my experience, the auto-capitalization doesn't work if you add more than one dot. (eg. "..."), which in my eyes is technically still a new sentence.
Not sure if it bugs with more or less dots, but for me it doesn't work with three...
#4 either make a shortcut to that setting or get a free toggle from the market.
#2 get dolphin browser
No.5, what exactly are you trying to do?
If you want custom sound allerts for different things, no probs. In settings I have my notification sound set as silent, but I then go into the settings of each app (messages, individual gmail accounts, calendar) and set a custom sound in their individual notification settings. If you want more features than that you may need to let us know what exactly you are after? For instance, I use a free version of Calendar Snooze for my calendar notifications and it has a custom sound, reads out the details of the appointment, and brings up a notification screen where I can snooze etc etc. Also auto reminds me if I don't respond to it.
Probably other apps to do things like this for other things too.
I would recommend trying Google Chrome Beta for the browser as well. I like how it syncs your browser with your home computer's browser (assuming you use Chrome).
why is the brightness in videos low even though i ve turned autobrightness off..??
Well, since you're a new Android user, you need to know that you'll find a lot of alternatives for almost all the stock apps, like you browser..
If you don't like you browser, just install another one from Google Play Dolphin and Chrome are very good alternatives.. Stock browsers sucks and lacks of functions!
For brightness you can use apps like this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rubberbigpepper.DisplayBrightness
For notifications, sometimes, every app has it own Notifications config..
2 & 3) definately go Chrome, makes it all better. And I love the feature (which I think the stock doesn't have) where if you have fat finger and hit 3 links at once it will popup a zoomed view saying "Hey fat fingers which one did you try and click?"
I think you could add 7) Not being able to make folder like the STOCK ICS as in click and drag an icon over another to make a folder, I don't know why but this bugs the crap out of me. I know there is other launchers that do this but I like the TW widgets. And how hard could it be for Samsung to do this?? it's a stock feature of the OS haha.
End of Rant...sorry for the semi hi-jack

Can you change the brightness on this phone by sliding your finger left or right on the drop down-bar? You may have to pull it down a bit. I do not have this phone, but did this on my previous Samsung phones.
Found the solution to adding the wifi toggle:
1 Get SqlLite Editor
2.Goto Setting Storage |System |
3. Edit field "notification_panel_active_app_list"
4. add DormantMode
5. edit field "dormant_switch_onoff" from 0 to 1,
6. Hit save and reboot
You can now toggle blocking mode. Can't seem to get it to work though.
I got it to block the led light. I set dormant_always to 0
Set start time to 13 (1:00) then set dormant_led to 1.
Turned on blocking toggle and the led would not blink when I received a message. I still got the notification and my screen turned on tho.

I had several force close of "settings" with dormant mode enabled. Doesn't seem to be working that cleanly, I'm disabling it for now.
I don't really need it anyway.
PS" dormant_switch_onoff just toggles it on or off. I turned it off and went into SQL Editor and it was set back to 0 so that's not an "enabling" control.
I am trying to download a System Dump to see if we are missing an .apk for some sort of Blocking Mode Setting App.

It likely needs to be turned on in settings, phone, messaging and anywhere it affects. Won't be a simple missing app.

isnt it a feature in android?. I looked it up on my note to where exactly its buried. and it looks like it's buried deep inside com.android.settings hopefully that'll help figure something out.
Long pressing on the Blocking Mode toggle should open the settings. Instead for me it crashes System UI and reloads the notification bar and such. I'd probably start there as well comparing from AT&T version.
Blocking Mode seems to be working correctly for me. I can toggle it on and off.
As others have stated, it crashes Settings when you try to open settings for Blocking Mode. My theory is that Blocking Mode settings is still there but disabled instead of just hidden. When you try to access it, Settings crashes just like if you we're to Freeze the wrong thing in Titanium Backup and then try to access it.
There is probably another field that would allow us to enable the settings for Blocking Mode, we just need to find it.
On another note, while I was poking around I found "Throttle_Reset_Day" which had a value of 22. Any theories on how this works? I changed it to 15 thinking maybe if you reach the throttling point of data use that it would reset and unthrottle a few days earlier. That theory only works if the throttling also resets at the beginning of the month though.

i'm looking for a rom from any other S4 besides Verizon's to see if i can pull the smali's to look at the differences today. i'll let you know if i come up with anything.
I flashed SecSettings for the i9505 and blocking mode still doesn't show. So I'm not sure how Samsung set it up for which file to read so it knows whether or not to show.

I have a feeling it's more involved than that though. You could probably flash framework, systemUI and settings from the i9505 and it wouldn't work.

I'm not really not looking forward to that, but i want to find it out. it's now bugging me. haha. if only i had better internet than crappy DSL
Bump.
Blocking Mode is working perfectly for me, it's just when trying to reach the settings screen that it causes a problem. I adjusted the settings manually by editing the proper fields in SQLlite and added the notification toggle and it will turn on and off without issue. I have it set to allow calls but not notifications or the LED. It works as advertised with these settings. I have no real need to adjust the settings further but it would be nice to get the settings screen back as well.
I set it up and I put favorites as allowed so I'll have to see it if works.

The settings screen works properly and doesn't crash in Beans rom.
Notifications are blocked properly, but it still lets calls ring through even though I have that checked.
dormant_disable_incoming_call was set to 1, so the feature is broken, not the setting in the database.

Hello,
I have a rooted Nexus 5 with stock rom.
I tried to use xposed module "flying android", it works when I start it within apps overview, but not as explained in the video by pressing long the home button. I always get the google now icon.
Could anybody help me please?
Thank you!

After installing and enabling Flying Android, you need to launch "FA Toggle" to move the window of the Activity. But this module does NOT provide any way to launch it. So you should prepare other apps to do it such as Gravity Box, SwipePad, etc. In the demo movie, I use Gravity Box to show "FA Toggle" on the Navi-ring (popup when long-pressing the home button).
Oh ok, I understand.
Thank you!

version 0.6.0 causing other apps to FC all over the place. I had to revert to 0.5.6.

Thanks for your message, I fixed the bug at version 0.6.1 already uploaded.
0.6.1 is not working correctly. I can't control the black list: the checkboxes for each app don't work. The "Show only black" checkbox works. But once I open the black list, Flying Android stops working correctly until the next time I reboot my phone: when I fly an app, the fly window turns into Flying Android's app window, and when I unfly, my context has been switched to FA. If I reboot and don't open FA, it works correctly.
In addition, with 0.6.x, I'm now able to fly gReader and my phone app, which I couldn't do before.
Also, AquaMail now flies, and Firefox flies without displaying messed up graphics.

OK, I revert Black list's layout to previous version. And FA Toggle's behavior you said is probably Android's specification. Because FA Toggle is an Activity within Flying Android package, it brings another Activity within same package to top of app's stack if the another Activity is running on background. I think FA Toggle's flag is bad, but I couldn't fix it. Therefore, please exit Flying Android's app by pressing Back key before fly.

My Galaxy Note's phone app still cannot fly. And Firefox works correctly even if flying.
I feel that model-dependent behaviors are increased on version 0.6.x. I also received a report that FA's icon is displayed on the top if FA is enabled on HTC's phone.
With 0.5.6, I couldn't even use my phone app. I don't mean flying it, I mean it wouldn't work and I couldn't answer calls with FA enabled. I'd have to disable FA in Xposed and then reboot to make a call. But now it's ok.
Is it possible to add an option to disable FA without having to reboot? I've seen other Xposed modules that have a disable feature.

Could you answer calls with 0.5.6 if appends the phone app to the black list? It works as FA is disabled if the app is added to the black list.
Now, I uploaded FA version 0.6.3. The new version can change settings without rebooting, requires to recreate Activity instead.

No, I had the phone app and contacts blacklisted, along with the system phone app (blacklisted by default?), but I simply could not use my phone, except in a very limited way. The phone app would pop up a warning dialog, and if I dismissed it, the phone call would disconnect. Plus, I couldn't use the keypad at all.
0.6.3 has a similar problem, and I've discovered that 0.6.2 doesn't work properly with the phone app, either. I've blacklisted the phone app and com.android.phone. I can make a phone call, but the screen goes black and then com.android.phone pops up an FC dialog. The phone call continues, but if I dismiss the dialog, the phone call will cut off. At that point, I see the keypad again and can make a new call, but the same thing happens. Also, there's a persistent notification of an ongoing phone call that I can only clear by rebooting my phone.
The other features of 0.6.3 look good and I haven't seen problems with any other apps yet.
EDIT: I want to suggest a new feature: fly the pull-down notification window. When I open notifications, I can't clear them one-handed because I can't reach the "clear" button.
Thank you for details. I have understood the problem as last. In version 0.6.4, I fixed the bug that cause to FC in call on Galaxy. I tested by Galaxy Note, but I think that other Galaxy devices are same behavior.

Although I had tried to stack notifications from bottom for one-handed operations before, it is failed. I couldn't come up with your idea.

The "in call" bug is fixed on my Galaxy S4. So I took the phone app contacts off the blacklist, and they fly correctly. The pin options look good, and option changes take effect after restarting apps that were already running so that we don't have to reboot.
EDIT: suggestion: I only find the pin function useful in a few apps (that do internal scrolling). It's annoying to display the pin for apps that don't need it because I might accidentally touch it. So I suggest a whitelist for the pin function.
@tkgktyk: I got a cycle reboot at sony ericsson ray (os 2.3.4 stock)
It doesn't work well with ezPDF, so I had to blacklist it. When you view this app's recent items list, FA changes the list's coloring to mostly white so that it's hard to read. I guess that has something to do with the "Force set window background" feature, which I have checked. Then, when you fly ezPDF while in the recent items list, it takes two clicks to un-fly it completely. I don't really need to fly this app, but if the bugs associated with ezPDF are fixed, I imagine it will make FA work better with other apps, too.

ezPDF is fixed.
EDIT:
The status bar pin mostly works. But after I fly it once, the next time, it won't fly until I touch the pin two times. The same behavior when I un-fly the status bar without dismissing it. To re-fly it, I have to touch the pin two times.
The pin white list doesn't work. I white list an app, but all apps continue to show the pin. When I return to FA to check the white list, it shows no whitelisted items, so white list selection isn't sticking. I tried rebooting, but that doesn't fix it.
Also, the pin behavior changed as of a couple of versions ago (I forgot to mention it). I want to pin the app Solid Explorer, which is a file browser. Previously, when I pinned it, I could then scroll the file list inside the pinned, flying window. But now when I pin it, I can't scroll the file list: the flying window is just pinned in place until I unpin or unfly it.
@tkgktyk: I will try.
the status bar doesn't fly if it only contains ongoing notifications.
* This is an Xposed module. You MUST have Xposed Framework installed. Otherwise this app WILL NOT FUNCTION.. You can download Xposed here: http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer
With Quick Access, you can allow your selected apps to be launched over the lockscreen without unlocking your device. You can also swipe up from the on-screen home button to launch Google Now or launch applications from lockscreen widgets without unlocking your phone . For example, allow your camera, music, and to-do list applications to be launched over the lockscreen to access them in an instant. Allow your friends to browse your music library without fully unlocking your device, quickly add a task to your to-do list; or never miss that photo opportunity; with Quick Access the possibilities are limitless!
In addition, Quick Access also enables you to expand your status bar in secure lockscreen and also show all widgets (instead of only lockscreen widgets) in lockscreen widget picker
Computer Mode: This allows you to let the timer keep going, even when the screen is off. This means that you can use EyeRelax to limit your time on the computer, television, or whatever other device you own, without using battery to keep the screen on and the timer running!
Notes:
- To launch applications from DashClock widget, please select DashClock in Quick Access. Or more specifically the activity: com.google.android.apps.dashclock.WidgetClickProxyActivity.
- To launch Google Now by swiping up from the on-screen home button while in the lockscreen, please select Google Now in Quick Access, or more specifically the activities: com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.SearchActivity AND com.google.android.velvet.ui.VelvetActivity.
- This application does not actually launch the applications (yet), it just allows them to be launch (via other methods) over the lockscreen. A good application to do that is DashClock.

I'll give an example. If you select your music application in Quick Access, you don't have to unlock your lockscreen to view that app. If you launch your music app and turn your screen off and on again, normally you'll have to unlock the lockscreen to access your music app, but with QA the music app will be displayed over the lockscreen so it's the first thing you see when you turn your screen on.
Another example with lockscreen widgets. If you have a google now widget on your lockscreen and click on it, normally you'll have to unlock first; with QA google now will be displayed over the lockscreen.
I have the examples make sense.
Ahh know i understand, thx!
Have trouble with this. I select the apps in QA, reboot, and nothing on my lockscreen.

If your Downloads page is set to sort by status, it's right there in alphabetical order. If it's sorted by last update, it's the fifth listed. If it's sorted by creation date, it's the first one at the top of the page. And this is ignoring the fact that Xposed has a search function.

Sounds like a root issue to me.
FWIW, it's better to just use the reboot option in the power menu anyways. The reboot option in the power menu allows apps and processes to terminate gracefully whereas when an app reboots it just kills all apps and processes.
interesting concept. so is this the same kind of idea as what google maps does then? where if the screen goes off, and you unlock, it will just wake up to maps? and then if you try to back out, it'll request that you do the passcode?
Just a quick note to add that the mod (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2342370 )to add the missing mobiledata toggle back into the notification panel works for the Galaxy S5 once rooted. The older version of sqllite editor in the original thread is not compatible with Android 4.42 however, you can use the new version available in the Playstore ($2.99) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.sqleditor
T-Mobile has the annoying tenancy to remove the mobile data toggle from the notification panel and the latest GS5 and 4.4.2 is no different. Not a huge issue for those that are on the current T-Mobile plans that allow data roaming internationally, but if you are on one of the older T-Mobile plans that don't allow that, or if you are like me planning to use my unlocked T-Mobile GS5 on another network, having that toggle is handy to avoid pricy data overages.
-------------------
As per the original thread, the same instructions apply;
1) Download sqlite editor app from the Playstore. (Older free versions force close on 4.4.2)
2) Open the app and give it root permissions. It should populate a list.
3) Scroll and Tap the "Settings Storage"
4) Tap "Settings.db"
5) Tap "System"
6) Scroll down until you find "notification_panel_active_app_list", tap to highlight it. I noticed its a little hard to get it highlighted because it seems to want to highlight the one under it. So you might have to tap the one right above it to get it highlighted. Make sure its the notification_panel_active_app_list, and NOT the notification_panel_default_active_app_list. I picked the wrong one the first time and it didnt work.
7) Once it is highlighted tap the phones menu button.
8) Tap "Edit Record"
9) You'll see a list of all the toggles that are currently enabled to show in notification area.
10) At the bottom of the list add ; and the words MobileData then another ;. So it will look like this at the end. ;AirplaneMode;MobileData; Then press Save.
11) Reboot and you should have a data toggle now. You can now use the edit feature and move it anywhere you want in the list of toggles.
Note: After I edited it and rebooted the "notification_panel_active_app_list" moved closer to the bottom of the list. So if you go back in and dont see it scroll further down

Just a quick note to add that the mod (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2342370 )to add the missing mobiledata toggle back into the notification panel works for the Galaxy S5 once rooted. The older version of sqllite editor in the original thread is not compatible with Android 4.42 however, you can use the new version available in the Playstore ($2.99) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.sqleditor
T-Mobile has the annoying tenancy to remove the mobile data toggle from the notification panel and the latest GS5 and 4.4.2 is no different. Not a huge issue for those that are on the current T-Mobile plans that allow data roaming internationally, but if you are on one of the older T-Mobile plans that don't allow that, or if you are like me planning to use my unlocked T-Mobile GS5 on another network, having that toggle is handy to avoid pricy data overages.

You can use the old version of SQL. You just need to download TB Restore Fixer.

I downloaded TB Restore Fixer, but SQL still crashed. Can you tell me how you did it to get the older SQL version to work? Really want to add the Data toggle in the notification bar.
Just a related comment I had about turning off Data:
On my AT&T S4, I would frequently use the data toggle for saving the last ~10% of battery after a long day or two of use. I found that simply switching data (and wifi) off saved a ton of battery, keeping my phone alive for emergencies on that last few percent for much longer than it would if I were to allow apps like Facebook to constantly fish for updates.
The power-save icon seems like it "might" do the trick, but I wish it had the option to just fully turn off mobile data instead of "limiting" it.
Once I finally root my device, this will probably be one of the first things I do. Thanks!

Yeah, I just want to be able to turn the data on and off through the notification bar instead of going to the settings.
Got it to work using SQlite Editor version 2.0.1. I now have my mobile data toggle on the notification bar.
Does anyone know the wording to add the hotspot (wifi tether) toggle?
Just an fyi, all the toggles will be baked into the new version of my Project Infinity rom later today.

;WiFiHotspot;
Caps sensitive
SQLite Editor not saving tether settings
I've tried changing my tethering settings but every time I reboot SQLite will revert to previous settings which is preventing use of tethering.
With Samsung Galaxy S5 it looks like some of the values have been changed to some extent. Going through some of the id's values I notice not all the values are consistent, I've notice with some id's 1 will represent disable while 0 represent enabled while with other id's 1 is enabled and 0 represent disabled values.
Im a little confused as to the reason behind such confusion maybe other devs can shed some light as to what is going on here.
Some settings seem to work like changing and adding MobileData and WiFiHotspot values worked with no problem.
Thanks. It worked on my SM GS5.
Thank you so much! Worked on my GS5.
Wish this method would work for adding the flashlight toggle.
Does this work for the AT&T variant of the S5?
Great mod!
worked great sprint S5 SM-G900P!!
download the app here:
download.apks.org/?server=13&apkid=com.speedsoftware.sqleditor&ver=2.1.1

It did not work on my GS5 T-Mobile, I rooted my device, downloaded Sqlite, followed all the steps, but when I rebooted my device, the mobile data toggle didnt appear just the normal ones are there

OK found my mistake, I clicked on Notification_panel_applications_for_reset I found the normal one by using the search option and it worked perfectly! Ty so much!
Hello, nice mod, does something similar can be done for Hotspot/Thethering toggle? adding a ;Hotspot; or ;Thethering; ?? Thanks!
I just used the reset one and when I rebooted I reset it and boom it was there. AT&T G900A

I didn´t get if the free app could be used or not, so I bought it and tried. It worked perfectly on G900T1 MetroPCS.
Thanks!
