Changes introduced in 4.4.4 - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General

Ok, I have experienced both 4.4.4 and 4.4.2 now.
Other than the usual changes (useful ones like (probable) radio improvement - though I can't personally vouch for it, and useless ones like new and updated bundled apps), there are a few interesting changes which I did not read about online.
For the benefit of everyone, I wanted to document the interesting changes that I have noticed. I am running 4.4.2 KOT49H.N900VVRUCNC4.
1. Switching to 4.4.4 removes the "Shutter sound" option from your camera app. So you can no longer switch it off, however, if you switch to silent mode before taking a picture then the camera will not sound.
2. Sticky icons are removed in 4.4.4.
a) Smart stay- In 4.4.2, a grayed out eye icon will always remain if you have enabled smart stay. In 4.4.4, the icon only comes during every time-out, when the phone is deciding whether to stay, and disappears within half a sec.
b) 4G icon - In 4.4.2, even when Wifi is connected, 4G icon is displayed grayed without the up/down arrows. (There doesn't seem to be a way to get rid of this, Wanam options don't work.) In 4.4.4 either Wifi or 4G icon is shown, not both together.
Edit: The following happened only because of Wanam as pointed out below.
3. In 4.4.2, if you set your display to auto brightness there will be a slider which you can adjust. In 4.4.4, auto brightness is not adjustable - there the normal brightness slider is shown, and if you change the slider it switches off auto brightness.

That actually shows up once Wanam Xposed is installed. The +5/-5 slider is not there on stock 4.4.2.

Thanks! Edited. I did not realize it is from Wanam theme as I didn't explicitly turn it on.

Just noticed it doesn't do that hover thing over the lock screen. Not sure what it's called but when you hover your finger over the screen it detects where your finger is and shows ripples. Also there is a different color effect on the ink effect but I can't get it working yet, maybe after a reboot

Calendar Location
Prior to the update, The location in calendar events was clickable and would take you to google maps.
For me, that no longer is the case, has anyone else seen this?
HUH. After the Update new events have the Location Link...
Maybe that was a fix on the NK1 release?

[Q] Edit notification bar settings

I had Xperia Arc S before this phone and i had CM11 on it. It had option in settings to make notification bar show regular notification when pulling left part of it and quick settings if I pull right part of it. On Z2 I noticed that I need to pull down and the click on quick settings every time, since it does not have this option. (And i haven't actually saved any click, it is same as i went to settings and turned wi-fi or data off)
Is there any possibility to turn this on on Xperia Z2?
I am using stock Kit Kat ROM v 4.4.4. (not rooted)
Thank you in advance!
Tap the notification bar on the right side & pull it down slightly & you should see the quick settings button get highlighted in white then continue to pull down & it will show the quick settings.
Edit on stock 4.4.4 you can swipe in the notification shade to switch between notifications & quick settings, just noticed that myself.
Get the xposed module xperia xposed kk
In system ui right side pull down has what you want.
Probably going to aosp since that modules quick settings selection is lacking, and it the extra tiles keep disappearing.
Gravity box only works on aosp

[MOD] All My... (Xposed tweaks for CM/AOSP/TW)

Collection of various tweaks for CyanogenMod/AOSP/TouchWiz and few apps (Firefox, Adobe Reader, MX Player). This module currently offers over 20 tweaks. All the tweaks were previously available as standalone modules. I enable most of them on all of my devices. Because of that and the increased number of tweaks, it no longer makes sense to offer them separately.
List of tweaks:
Disable Su Indicator - Disable # (pound/hash) indicator in status bar
Always Software Menu - Allows to have both software menu button and menu mapped to key on CM. Workaround for this.
No Toast Icons
Pocket First - Make Pocket the first option when sharing

One Hand Zoom Enabler (Firefox/Adobe Reader)
Battery History XXL - Enlarge the stock settings battery history - from 10 to 30 records
Native Freezer - Disable and re-enable any 3rd party app from System Settings
Minimum Brightness (MX Player/system) - Change the minimum brightness level from usual 10 to 1
Gentle Haptic Feedback
Compact Volume Panel
Chrome Tabs Toolbar On Phone - Enable tablet layout while keep mobile User Agent
Disable Horizontal Scroll (Adobe Reader)
Remap PREV button to PLAY/PAUSE - Allow use volume keys to change volume, advance to next song and play/pause
Remap NEXT button to Torch - Allow use volume up key (long press) to start flashlight (when music is off)
K920 Cardboard Fix - Fix screen resolution in Google Cardboard on Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro (K920)
No Wake On Charge - Disable screen wake when cable is plugged in/unplugged on Samsung Galaxy S5 (stock Android 5.0)
Reader Mode (Adapt Display) - Enable Samsung screen ebook reading mode for Adobe Reader/Moon+ Reader on Samsung Galaxy S5 (stock Android 5.0)
Disable Android Wear Disconnected Notification
Media Stream Default - Prefer media instead of ringer during volume control
Advanced Volume Keys - Long press VOLUME -/+ for PLAY_PAUSE/NEXT when screen is off or showing lock screen
No Password After Boot - Disable the "Unable to use fingerprints. Device restarted. Enter backup password, then fingerprints can be used next time device locked." message
Touch key light - Re-enable the lost option to set buttons light timeout (Samsung Galaxy S7)
sRGB for video only - Switch to sRGB (Basic screen mode) for video (MX Player/YouTube) while keeping Adaptive for everything else (Samsung Galaxy S7)
MTP Without Unlock - Start MTP even with screen off or without unlocking unsecure keyguard (Samsung Galaxy S5/S7)
Allow MTP Access - Get rid of the "Allow access to device data" dialog (Samsung Galaxy S7)
Disable Battery Prediction - Hide the estimated battery usage in battery graph
Detailed Battery Usage - Enable detailed 'Wi-Fi/Awake/Screen on' battery usage stats
NEW! No Gboard Bar - Disable the top bar in Google's Gboard keyboard
NEW! Keep LED off during DnD (Samsung Galaxy S7)
NEW! 'LTE/3G(auto connect)' network mode - Enable network mode profile without 2G in the system settings (Samsung Galaxy S7)
NEW! Remap BT Redial to Next Track - Great for headsets like QCY Q26

Will the minimum brightness app have a min brightness setting? I have an IPS screen on my lg g4. Will this lower my actual brightness? I use my phone at night and the minimum brightness is too bright. I've tried screen filters but I would prefer an app that actually lowers the brightness past stock.

Since there's actual UI, I will probably eventually add such option... But please be aware that it's still the same feature that GravityBox already offers (so if GB doesn't break anything for you, you can use it already).
Minimum brightness is not working in my device. What system apps and/or framework files from my ROM would you need me to send to you to fix it? It's a stock ROM, Android 5.1.1, my phone is a BQ Aquaris M5.
Thanks!
thank you for this nice module (and your old ones it replaced for me)
would you please be so kind as to include changelogs in the play store? I kinda hate getting updates but having no idea what it changed until i dig in the app for something that looks new
Thanks for this great module I was using some seperate modules from you but one big module is always nice. I can confirm Always Software Menu works on my S5 running CM13. Battery history xxl was working on CM12.1 and I even think it worked on CM13 Unofficial alpha version but on newer CM13 versions it doesn't works anymore. Is it possible to port it over to CM13 one day? And in the past the separate module disable toast icons didn't do anything on my S5 running CM13 for example when I'm in Root Explorer and enable R/W the root message appeared with the SuperSu icon but since 2 days I use the separate module from you NoToastIcons.v0.1-disable-all and that works great no toast icons anymore. I didn't try No toast icons from the All my... module.
Thanks for your great works.

The "No Toast Icons" tweak in this module disables icons in all toasts so it should work for you as well.
Few trivial tweaks already work with CM13 but the rest requires me actually flashing CM13 ROM - which I will do in the upcoming days or weeks on my S5.

It may not work on all devices (because of differences in display drivers/settings etc) plus it probably doesn't lower the minimum brightness when adaptive (automatic) brightness is used (though i didn't investigate that much...).
Great job with the one hand firefox enabler. I can now finally stick exclusively to firefox. Thanks!

I keep adaptive brightness disabled most of the time. If there's anything I can do to help making it work in more devices, you tell me.
Latest version 0.1.3 adds "Chrome Tabs Toolbar On Phone". Normally you could lower your DPI (system wide or per app if that's an option) to get the tabs toolbar in Chrome (that could however make the UI too tiny). The better option is to use "Screen (dp)" option in App Settings which get's the job done just right. This tweak reuses the same hacks to get the tablet layout with tabs in Chrome while it adds one important change - it changes the User Agent back from "tablet" to "phone" so you still get the mobile/phone version of various sites instead of the full featured tablet/desktop ones.

Version 0.2 should make all the tweaks compatible with CM13/Android 6.0. If there's any issue, let me know (I didn't check against clean AOSP).
Native Freezer - because there's no longer dedicated disable button on MM, I use the Force Stop button.
Battery History XXL - it works and as usual it not only makes the list longer but also unhides some normally hidden records (when they do not pass some threshold).
I also added one more tweak for Adobe Reader - "Disable Horizontal Scroll". Adobe Reader doesn't provide any feature for cropping white space so this helps me tremendously (after I double tap to the main content). (I'm still sticking to Adobe cause it's still the fastest though I probably could use the cropping in Xodo.)
Hey. I sit on the CM 13. I want to ask you to do, led to work if the battery charge is low, but when connected to a power source - did not work (not displayed, it is charged or charge).
Here comes another tweak in version 0.2.1: "Remap PREV button to PLAY/PAUSE" (PREV = long volume down press) which allows to use volume keys to change volume, advance to next song and play/pause. The "Playback control" needs to be enabled in system Settings (CM).
I have few more volume buttons related hacks in mind... :fingers-crossed:

Well, the current tweak handles the LED based on priority so I'm not sure about your question (really it can't be set in settings?).
Hey there
Im running cm12 since 6 months and i really appreciate you work
Specially native freezer
Im wondering did you made or plan to make a mod to replace recent menu action in navigation bar ?
By default short press bring recent and long press for last app
I hope i you can reverse it to be short press for previous app and long press for recent menu

Floatify = GREAT "notification bell" replacement (so far)!

Just ran across Floatify in the Playstore: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jamworks.floatify
Seems to work on the lockscreen the way Android Marshmallow notifications should work! I disabled the heads up setting in the app, but in my 5 minutes of playing with it, the lockscreen works GREAT! You can keep your ZTE lockscreen, the notifications just display on top of it and you can swipe them away. You do disable the stock notifications, but this has worked fine in my email and text test as well as a few Dropbox notifications.
It lets you expand the notifications too.
Only down side I've seen so far, you need the "pro" version ($1.49) to get the notifications to stack on top of each other.....Otherwise, with the free version it still works....But the newest one is on top, when you swipe it away there is one under it....so if you get 6 notifications, to see the first one you'll need to swipe away all the others on top. I've already purchased the "pro" version, otherwise I'd test that setting out to make sure I'm correct in telling you this?
But all's I know, I'm really happy with this $1.49 app!
Nice find! How well does it handle music playback notifications?
does it work with the fingerprint scanner?

I'm using Shuttle+ and the top one is the music notification. No controls, just "what's playing".
Lol.....It even reminds me that my wife took the Kohl's card last month and used it (busted).
Best solution I've seen so far.

It's a flashable .zip font called "ChinaCat". You have to be rooted to use it, since it flashed via TWRP.
Yes, amazing. I hated that bell, now it's six feet under.
I just wanted to provide a different option for anybody who wants the finger print scanner + album art to work.
Hi Locker.
Main benefits: full album art with the audio controls and works with finger print scanner.
The main downfall is if you want to do the finger print scanner, you have to have ZTE's stock lock screen enabled which means you'll have two lock screens.
It works two different ways.
1. If you press the power button, it'll bring up the ZTE lock screen with the bell. If you have your lock screen set at swipe, it'll then go to the Hi Locker lock screen which will display notifications. If you press the button, you can unlock by using the finger print scanner twice. So, ultimately, using the power button and swiping immediately will bring you to the next screen and that will have all your notifications including album art taking over the wall paper and audio controls.
2. If you use the finger print scanner, it'll bypass the ZTE lock screen and go straight to the Hi Locker screen. Now you'll be able to function with all the other above. You can then use the finger print scanner a second time and you'll completely unlock the phone.
It's a weird way but this was the best way to get the finger print scanner and album art going at the same time... until ZTE releases something.

Great!
tele_jas, Thanks for sharing this one! I think it's much better than having a second lockscreen. I left my native notifications turned on,but just turned on the "Show on the lock screen" option (to kill the bell). Then, inside Floatify's settings, under Heads-up, then under "When", I disable "On Notification", but left "On Lockscreen" set to All Notifications. So I have Floatify only on top the lockscreen, and the default system notifications everywhere else.
Great find!
Thanks for this thread, love this app it's a massive improvement to the Axon 7.

Edit: I don't know but find it very complicated through setting.
Too many settings and similar option
Missing simplicity from the app.

Sorry I find the app too messy and complicated with dozens of similar option and settings.
Prefer next lock screen as lock screen replacement and I'm using glimpse notification to wake up screen on notification alert and double tap to sleep from lock screen.
Or just wait if being stock until ZTE make the bell optional witch not being late until released via software update.

How disable not interact badly on lock screen when pull down notification while playing music??
Also interact badly with player pro widget on notification center when pull down while playing music.
I don't know how disable music player widget on floatify.
Even disable player pro widget on player pro it continues to show both player pro and floating app music player widget together on Notification Center.

Sorry to those not happy with it and are asking me questions on how to use it?..... I liked it and found it useful and posted the link. I don't really know much of, or any of the technical stuff about it, I just set it up and left it alone and haven't touched it since day one. No, it's not perfect and not as useful as real stock android notifications, but I still like it MUCH better than the "bell".
I do know when you "start the app", you'll get the option to disable the stock android notifications (the three choice menu). You want to choose to not show any notifications and this will disable the "bell". There is someone on here uses it a slightly different way and left instructions on how they used it.

Always On Edge - Edge Lighting App

So I thought I would start a thread since this seems to be the best app out there to replace our missing notifications LED. This seems to be the best solution at the moment but I'm having some issues.
1. I can't seem to get the colors to change on a per-app basis.
2. The edge lighting around the notch doesn't seem to work.
Has anyone else figured this out or have any other suggestions?
Here is a link to the app for those that haven't tried it yet.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.used.aoe
In settings for the app, give it the required permissions, scroll down to the blue box that says "enable app and its color and time", select the app you want, check enable edge lighting, (I have only checked out One Color) then tap the colored box, and select the color you want, and press Choose.
Been playing with it today. Works well enough that I paid. One remaining concern, is effect on battery so we'll have to see how it behaves tomorrow.
For the ring around the camera, enable "notch support" under widget settings and make sure you have either "around all screen" or "around notch only" selected under lighting above.
To get per app notifications, use the "when a notification comes" option under how to start and it will open up a selection.
Another really cool feature is "display notification icons" that can be used together work edge lighting, or stand alone by itself to create an alternative to aod that stays on when there are notifications pending.

I've been playing with the notch ring only cause is what I am interested but it somehow disable Always Display and dont know how to get it back... I just want the led notch ring notifications
Is it me or does this app have an archaic setup process? It just looks so dated and hard to use.

Which option do you choose for the following;

I am curious....it cannot be setup to work as the original led notifications, right? I mean, the light ring disappears after a few seconds...cannot be set to repeat after a certain period of time..?
Yeah, it has a reminder function. Thanks for clarifying to myself )
Curious about battery usage with this app. The features are cool but the setup is just a pain.

Thanks - all good. Seemed that Nine was supported as Samsung email works fine as does Whats App. To me this is a 100% solution to the no LED light so happy days..
Yes I'm very happy with it so far. :good:
Im still tweaking with this - can't seem to figure out how to get rid of the AOD it puts on the phone. I just want the notification ring.
I cant seem to get this to work as well

Must Have Apps on the ROG 2 [1-11-2019]

Hi guys,
These apps i am about to introduce will change your phone experience for the better not just our phone for that matter but any Android phone.
1. Immersive Mode Manager (Paid)
This app is a must for every Amoled screen to protect your phone from future screen burn, the other thing is you get to enjoy the full screen experience with every app on your phone. I install this app on all of my Android devices.
I have created a thread long ago doing it manually but i think it's too much of work for people who want an app for that, if you want a manual free alternative check it out.
2. Glimpse Notifications ( Free)
So on the ROG 2 phone only a couple of apps does wake the device when you receive a notification mostly chatting apps and I guess not all of them. This is where Glimpse Notifications solves the problem that is if you just want the screen to simply light up.
3. Blokada (Free)
You must have an Ad blocker on the list if you are unrooted and definitely one of the best open source and free app out there is this one.
4. Fluid Navigation Gestures (Free/Pro Features)
I will dare to say IMPO that it's the best custom gesture navigation app on Android currently. Also it's way better than the default gesture navigation because of the extra features.
5. Tiles (Paid)
Although it's a paid app it's worth its price. The beauty of having it you get options of having tiles of any application you need including the power button which I use mainly for that purpose, instead of clicking and wearing the power button.
6. Edge Gestures (Paid)
This is by one of my favorite developers in the play store, he has some other apps in the play store you should check them out. Now why I recommend this app because with this app you can add extra features to the default system gesture navigation which completes it.
I stopped using FNG because in certain apps it doesn't play well and sometimes it stops. So using this app you can add whatever shortcuts, apps using one swipe from whichever side of the screen you like especially the top part of the side where back swipe doesn't work anyway which makes the default gesture navigation complete.
7. Zone Launcher (Free/Paid)
Launch any app from any screen with one swipe, this is a new favorite.
-------
Edit:
I have removed "Light Flow" from the list due to it not working properly with our device. When you try to customize the led notifications for third party apps and then testing the modifications within the app itself everything seems be okey. But it turns out non of the modifications apply or stick. Anyway for now there isn't any third party app that can customize the led notifications for our device!
I will keep updating this thread once other apps are discovered or suggested.

Thanks for the suggestions! Definitely these apps seem useful and apart from Fluid Nav Gestures and Light Flow, rest are new to me.
Also a small correction, link to Fluid Nav Gestures is wrong(tiles link attached to Fluid Nav Gestures text).

6. Light Flow Legacy (Free)
This app is a must have if you want to customize the led notification light for each app, currently i believe only 3 colors are available for our device (Red, Yellow, Green) so you can set any colors of those to any app you want.

Hi, thanks for these. I really like FNG. However, I'm having an issue with Immersive Mode. All the input boxes that are normally above the keyboard (e.g. try to change the name of your phone) are hidden because they are now under the keyboard.
Any idea how to fix this?

Make sure that the system navigation is set to virtual key navigation instead of gesture. Now if you have the pro version of FNG you can disable the navigation bar from the app settings. So either buy the pro version of FNG and disable the navigation bar from there or use another app to disable the navigation bar which you can find some apps do that in the play store.
I couldn't get light flow to work. What settings have u tested it with to get it working?

Make sure it's not killed by mobile manager. Also disable battery optimization for it. Personally I mainly use a different color for two apps sms and calls. I use red color for calls and yellow for sms.

Did both of those but still nothing. When I go to test and turn screen off, nothing happens.

On my side when I do a test it works fine. But I can't confirm if it's working all the time because I can't recall the last time I noticed the notification light of my custom notifications.
Try to reinstall the app and play with settings.

I tried everything. I also have the pro version of led blinker, and that doesn't work either.
But who knows. Maybe a few restarts will help

I tried Light Flow Legacy, and it seems to work, except for cyan, blue and light blue color. If i put light blue, the led is Yellow. If i put cyan, the led is green. What's wrong?...

I only see the notification light when the phone is off and is charging
I use the APP dimly. It helps lower the minimum brightness on the phone so you won't get blinded using it in a dark room.
I just updated my phone to 1908.21 WW and now ther LED notification is back and working again!

I have tried both Fluid Navigation Gestures and Edge Gestures, both pro/paid version, and the system will sooner or later make them stop working, and have to enable them again, having to give them permission to draw over other apps from time to time and it is a bit annoying. did you or someone manage to make it work perfectly? any tips on what might I be doing wrong? thanks
I don't think Tiles app works as it says it's only for Naugut and Oreo. I have paid for it and now it's not working. I don't know why did you say that it works with our phone. You should not give wrong info to others without checking.

If you don't know how to use it that's is your problem, I have it right now on my device working. Add to that I haven't recommended any app on this thread without testing. Choose your words carefully!
One more thing, if you don't have anything positive to say just move on and let me be, you don't have to visit this thread or take my word for that matter!
