Can't move shortcuts to lockscreen on I9300XXUGML2 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello there.
My problem is as follows. On Android 4.1.2 i could move app shortcuts freely to the lockscreen and remove them too. After updating to Android 4.3 via OTA this doesn't seem to work anymore. I tried asking at the FB group of Samsung and i only confirmed more people having the same problem.
The option in the menu to change the lockscreen still exists, but from there you can't chance the app shortcuts anymore.
Does anyone from here have the same Problem or maybe already found a workaround or even a fix??
Greetings and a happy near year to everyone from germany

Sharing options in Gallery App

Hey all,
Anyone else having issues with sharing options in stock Gallery app in SGS3? I tap on the share button at top of screen, list of options come up but I'm missing Messaging, Email, Gmail etc...Theres a list of other options but not the ones I'm after. Any way of changing this?
Also, I've come from an SGS1, what happened to the fancy 3d Gallery app ? -_- This stock one is very dull
When you click on share, there is a 'more options' at the bottom of that list. Clicking ink it expands all the existing options. Included amongst them are those you are looking for.

Like the poster above said -- expand the list.
As for the 3D Gallery. Why would anyone EVER want to go back to it? It was slow, cumbersome and gawdy looking at best. The new gallery performs 100x better.
I've tried expanding the list guys, still don't have the general sharing options...I have all these other options like Direct WiFi, Flipboard, Picasa etc.
Bump, still got this issue any help would be greatly appreciated.
did u click on "see all"? post a screenshot of expanded options
I actually agree that the new Gallery is faster as well. Screen capture attached. So weird, on my fiance's S3 all typical options show up...
Bumpity bump
Help please
which firmware are you on? Also have you tried scrolling? I can see all the options on LG8
Take a screenshot.......
How do I check version? I have tried scrolling no luck.
I'm on Android 4.0.4 and yes I have tried scrolling but no luck.

You still haven't given us a specific firmware.
Is your phone branded?
Download the newest firmware and flash it with ODIN -- see if that restores all functions.

[Q] Jellybean: Is there a way to remove the Status Bar?

Hi there,
I have just installed AOSP Jellybean (and also CM10 preview) and am searching for a way to remove the status bar completely from the bottom of the screen. I was using AOKP and could do this from the power menu. Is there a way to do it in JB or a mod that could be applied.
I cannot find anything on the web or on XDA about this. I am posting here as I cannot yet post in the development section, but I think I should probably be asking that question there instead.
Many thanks,
Graham.
for status you mean notification? if so that has to come from a custom rom IF any developer feels like doing it.. that's a jelly bean feature.. if you dislike it go back to ICS.. personally y prefer this way because the os its more consolidated between phones and tabs..

Hi Msedek,
Thank you for your response. I am finding JB more stable than the ICS varieties as I have trouble with Splashtop with any ICS build (it crashes the tablet). It seems to run fine in JB. I need to remove the statusbar because when I run Splashtop to fill the screen the status/nav bar is in the way - therefore I need to temporarilly remove it when using Splashtop. Reverting to ICS would not work for me I am afraid.
I have seen mods for other Android version (e.g. Honeycomb) that add a toggle to the power menu (and software that removes the status/nav bar) but I cannot find anything for JB at this time.
Kind regards,
Graham.

Hi maplesyrup. Thank you for your response.
I had a look at that app however it wont do the job as once i have hidden the status bar then there is no way to return to the homescreen or another application as button savior and the gesture control app do not seem to work with jellybean.
Many thanks,
Graham.

I was thinking in including that option in the AOSP ROM, the next build I will. Also, you can contact the developer to report that bug.

- Stock based CM9
- CRT animation
- access torch on lockscreen pushing home button
It will be for sure compatible with locked bootloader n,n and about lockscreen we are thinking to put addons on the new thread then you guys can download a mod and install it to have another lockscreen theme or another addon's "in future"
Would also live to see option to switch songs by pressing volume buttons...

Making it usable with a locked bootloader would be great.
I love your most recent version of Iced Bean, but I have two issues: First, even though the two correct .apk files for themes are in the app folder (i.e. 'ThemeManager' and 'DefaultThemes') when you set a theme it doesn't appear to work.
The second (slightly more serious) issue is that it doesn't seem to be possible to enable data access via mobile network. In other words, the only way I can access the internet via my phone is via WiFi.
Has anyone else had these issues I wonder?

That issue is only from you try re installing your DefaulTthemes.apk and clear cache of it or just wait on next update there would be more DefaultThemes on addons n,n and about your second problem yes maybe thats of cause of removed bloatware i really don't know why but you can do it... just search for your setting like for me was: Googe: datos perfiles de internet. in your case just search your profiles like: Google: internet profiles "your company" and that's all n,n
P.d: It would be for locked bootloader too

You can add i yourself. & it's not so necessary i think & vibrations eats battery.
Add xperia t (5x4) launcher...and an aroma installer will be great...easier than placing it in backup folder...

He means that you should search for APN configuration in Google. Try to add your carrier's settings manually.

Aha! I get it now, I got the APN configuration & entered the settings manually. Worked fine!

[Q] All widgets disappear after every phone reboot

Hi All,
I am a new user of Themer and I am really blown away by the level of customisation that this app offers.
However I noticed a problem on my Nexus 5. I applied a new theme and added some customised widgets (twitter feed etc) and locked my widgets, my widgets will all disappear (both the ones the were default from the theme and the ones I added on). Only shortcuts or icons will remain. I also notice that they will prompt for me to give all access for themer to access widgets information despite it was already given multiple times.
The problem will not appear if I did not add any other widgets and only apply the theme direct. Was wondering if anyone else is bugged by the same problem?
I have the exact same problem on my nexus 4 since one the last themer update.
Same here.

my best guess would be something to do with the cache and/or dalvik...
It's not with dalvik/cache. On previous threads they said it's a Themer problem. Just save your theme and after the restart apply it again.
yes it happens here too i hope it will be fixed soon.

Yep, very beta. Over a year later the problem still exists. I know the workaround with saving the theme but as soon as I change a little bit on the home screen and I forget saving the theme again, all the widgets are gone by the next restart (every now and then they just forget their configuration)
I love the app, but this is the only problem I cant solve.
Hi,
I have this exact problem after updating my XtreStoLite 2.4 ROM to Marshmallow. Have the latest Themer version. how to resolve?

[Q] Z2 Lollipop: Hide notification from lockscreen but show in status notification.

I found a few threads with the same issues here and here, but those are still unanswered. So, I'm creating a new thread to know to fix this problem soon.
I want to know how to hide the 2 apps from the notifications from the lockscreen, but not from the actual status bar notification.
The 2 apps, an battery saver and 3g network monitor are essential in the notification but I don't like it being shown all the time in the lockscreen. It also kinda blocks any new notification of other apps like fb, whatsapp, etc.
Any help is appreciated.
Attached the screenshot of the lockscreen.
PS: My first post here so plz let me know if I miss anything.
Go to settings>apps chose the app you want and uncheck show notifications
Then it won't be shown in the notification bar either.

You can disable all notifications from lockscreen but you can't disable specific one unfortunately
That's all what I know

Ok. thanks for the info. Lets hope there would be some patch released in the future by Google.
There is one more bug in the lockscreen in the new Lollipop as one has to swipe-up and then use pattern-lock to unlock the phone. Earlier we have to use pattern-lock only and no swipe-up.
