[Q] How to reset the status bar - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

I dun think u can delete it without having root. Even with root still hard. U have to edit the rom.

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...

Wicked rom help

Just wondering if the wicked rom can be changed to 4by4 icon grid rather than the 5by4 icon grid it came with.
Also it has barely any samsung apps/widgets wondering if particular apps such as readers hub and widgets such as the stock weatger widget can be reinstallled some how. These were things that i used before rooting and installing this rom.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
yes, go to menu - launcher and set the desired grid size.
yes, samsung apps caan be downloaded and readded again, check the forum it usual has samsung apps on first vpage as a zip file.
You should have read the rom description before using as custom roms try to eliminate all samsung apps. you should then stay with a stock type rom which has your required apps.

Lolzz... Flash the ThemeEnabler.zip in the WickedROM 2nd Post.It will give you your old launcher.
And in the 3rd post all those apps you want are already provided in different packages(right from only samsubg apps or only hubs or all the apps)

Thats not completely true about no settings in TWLauchers.My ROM comes with TWLauncher which lets me put 5 icons on the bottom tray and TW4Launcher which lets you change the amount of rows in the app draw.
First and second screenshot TW4 app draw settings,third screenshot TWLauncher 5 icon bar.
Has Any1 done this i dowoaded and flashed the hubs now when i try to use readers hub i have to install the book reader. However it says server will be available soon i mean what gives before custom roming it it always updated and installed instantly is this an app error or a rom error.
Thanks

But most probably, thats the TWLauncher 4.5 launcher (by Fr4gg0r) you are using i am sure.It has those settings.It is a modded launcher.The user was asking for the stock Sammy TWLauncher i guess

Not if the camera isnt modded or the ROM doesnt have a mod file you can flash via CWM to do so.
Could you elaborate cooza i just want to have the option to turn of shutter sound stock rom could. What do i need to flash.
Ps. Is the siyah kernel really good for battery life. If so what is the best way to go about flashing the kernel. Im a new user lol
Thks mare
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
yes, siyah is good for battery life.
If you are rooted use CWM to flash the zip file after copying it to your sd card. cwm- recovery-install zip- choose zip from sdcard-yes install, wit for it to finish, reboot phone.
other wise use ODIN, flash the tar file.

If you are on stock ROM you cant turn it off.If you are on a custon ROM the dev normally modifys various apps so that you have more options or you can download a file to flash and modify each app personally as you choose.If you are on stock then nothin,if your on a custon ROM ask the Dev or on the ROMs thread if there is a Zip file or CWM file that can mod the cam to turn off the sound.
Chetan can u release a mod or something to turn off camera sound

[Q] remove notifications one by one

Is it possible to remove only selected notifications one by one on the Galaxy s2, instead of having to clear them all at once?
Android 2.3.5
thanks
no i use clear all,cause the thing ur taking are the ads i gess ,if yes install adaway an otha apps c in market an install wat u think is good....i got adaway an also tried trust ads go ,etc now no notifications for me....
Tap a notification, and it only that one notification will be removed, and the relevant app will usually open. That's one by one, isn't it?
The latest version of Checkrom has swipe to remove notifications just like ICS but its a Gingerbread Rom.

Simple, but outraging problem with Touchwiz !!

Hello all Galaxy S3 owners !
I am totally desperate about my phone. IN fact im almost crying.
My problem is simple, trivial, stupid. Yet its totally affecting my work with phone.
I canĀ“t delete home screens in Touchwiz.
Yes thats right, when i zoom out to manage home screens, and i tap and hold to move the homescreen to the delete bar- it just freezes at the first touch with the bar and bam. Touchwiz has stopped, it will restart, and that homescreen is still there.
Pretty simple, huh? Yeah, but well the point is, i have done around 4 factory resets and that problem is still there. When im done setting up the phone, its working good. But the first time i will restart it, i cant delete any home screen again.
Please for the love of god, help me.
What firmware .What phone missing information .

You need to make sure that transition scale is not off in developer options.

You need to reboot after changing those settings..
If that didnt work then factory reset. This will wipe your settings and internal memory.

Well that firmware is not for my region and its functions is totally same as in XXELLA, so i guess its alright
And yes, when i came back home now, i was experimenting a little and rebooted up too. Yes, this enabling of animations solved the issue. Animation scale to 1.
God how i hate them, that phone aint that fast now.. Well at least i know whats the cause of it

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Yeah, this has a few more tweaks than nottach so far, and some that didn't work before (Quick Setting tile number wouldn't work on my MF3 I337) are working now. Anyone is safe to install and tweak away as long as you're on stock/tw.
EDIT: nottach xposed does have a few more than this at the moment, I was wrong. Specifcally the full battery and headset notification I've noticed so far.
I'm not sure if this is related but after installing this i noticed my mobile connection would randomly switch to h+ in settings. I rebooted and got the padlock. Booted fine still and noticed an extra battery icon. I only enabled the module and looked at the options without checking or changing anything.
Uninstalled and rebooted. No padlock, no extra icon. Goldeneye MH1 with only scrolling cache and call record add ons.
So I really want to try this out but I have a quick question. As of right now im on MF3 and I am planning on rooting my phone. The only think I would like to be able to do is to have lockscreen widgets on my device while having security enabled such as a pattern lock or password. Will this give me the option to do just that?

The extra icon does sound like something that a tweak/app like this can be responsible for.
Whether it's a one-time glitch or a bug that will recur, who knows.

3minit isn't much of an option since you have to flash the framework and we can't through recovery (I think there is an app to flash without recovery, but it's risky business.)

I know it's not supposed to work. I wasn't expecting it to work. But I tried it anyways.
Slim Bean AOSP 4.3 ROM + Xposed + Wanam all seemed to install fine.
But a reboot or two later, before even selecting any option changes, ended up getting to where it refused to boot into the OS. Even after a factory reset.
Don't jump me, I know it wasn't *supposed* to work.
Guess I just confirmed that for the rest of the 4.3 AOSP guys?

Expanded notification on lockscreen

I did return the phone in september after only a day of usage, pretty much just for software littlenesses like this one... that's just a shame for a phone like this, if just huawei would relase codes to get AOSP built...
Same problem, very annoying. Really hope this gets sorted in 6.0. Might give NiLS a try as I used this on my previous phone running 4.4.4.
Actually going to install it right now, I'll let you know how it works on the Honor 7.

Yes NiLS works very well. I turned off all notifications on lock screen from EMUI and replaced them with NiLS. Finally getting notifications from Gmail on the lock screen and all notifications can be expanded. I can recommend this to everyone. The free version has everything I need but I might buy the premium one for just 2$ to support the dev (who is btw a member here on XDA).
Thanks for the update
