[Q] Notification Screen On - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5

does anyone know how to disable the screen turning on when receiving a notification?

i found the solution to this. credit goes to @PuffJr2 for his thread on verizon forum. here is how to do it:
To disable this feature, you need root.
start off by opening up a file explorer, I used Root Browser.
head off to /data/data/com.android.mms/shared_prefs/
once in that folder, open up com.android.mms_preferences.xml
scroll down and find <boolean name="pref_key_backlight" value="true" />
change true to false.
save, and reboot.
now when i get a text message my screen doesnt pop on in my pants pocket and start doing things i dont want it to do.

Nice
Thanks for sharing this. Unfortunately I never really use the music controls because I have a pattern lock set up, so the lock screen doesn't appear at all (unlocking goes straight to pattern screen instead of lock screen). Is there a way to reverse this?

s0niqu3 asked if I could add some media controls the the ASOP lock screen, so when
I start that project I will also add them to the pattern lock screen also.

Did you ever start that? Just curious.

[Q] Editing android application settings

For the applications that don't have working soft buttons. Is it possible to manually edit the application settings by editing some file? I'm trying to get Perfect Viewer to work in landscape mode but I am unable to access the menu through the application.
I figured it out. If anyone is interested in using perfect viewer, here are the instructions. I'm not sure if you need superuser installed to get permission to write in the data folder but I already had it installed prior to doing this.
Code:
adb pull /data/data/com.rookiestudio.perfectviewer/shared_prefs/perfect_viewer_settings.xml
edit the xml file so the following are true
<boolean name="ScreenAutoRotate" value="true" />
<boolean name="EnableImageCache" value="true" />
Code:
adb push perfect_viewer_settings.xml /data/data/com.rookiestudio.perfectviewer/shared_prefs/
If you want to flip the right and left page turn functions so that tapping right turns the page forward, change these values:
Code:
<int name="LeftFunction" value="5" />
<int name="RightFunction" value="6" />
does this work for other apps as well? for example Prism 3d

[Q] After updating HTC One to ADRHD22, what is the N notification symbol?

Hi there,
To day I upgraded my HTC One from ADRHD 12 to ADRHD v22. I did a full user wipe during the installation and I also cleared the cache and dalvik before rebooting.
So the phone started up, went through its usual initial starup sequence and all is working ok now, though the battery did drain from 100% to 70% over the course of the installation and app downloads (about 20 apps).
Anyways, I noticed that there is a permanent symbol in my notification bar that is driving me crazy. Its not from any app as all the apps are stopped. It kind of looks like the Nescafe "N" symbol. I've attached a screenshot of my phone so you can see it at the top.
Does anyone know what this symbol is, what it means, and how I can remove it?
Many thanks

You can change that in /system/customize/ACC/default.xml. Change
Code:
<item type="integer" name="nfc_show_icon">1</item>
to
Code:
<item type="integer" name="nfc_show_icon">0</item>
And the NFC icon won't show when NFC is on

It's the NFC (Near Field Communication) icon.
To remove it two choices:
1- if you dont use NFC, go to Settings->More (under Wireless & Networks)->NFC, uncheck that
2- if you DO use NFC, use a root-enabled file explorer (eg ES File Explorer but with ROOT enabled) and go the file
/system/customize/acc/default.xml
change the line <item type="boolean" name="nfc_show_icon">1</item> (it's at about 15% from the top according to ES)
and change 1 to 0, save, and reboot ==> NFC still working, but no icon

Ah right. I managed to get rid of it.
Its just that, I dont like seeing unknown symbols popping up as for all I know it could be some sort of virus or something.
But Im glad its harmless. Thanks to everyone here for their fast replies! :highfive:
I was wondering what the damn thing meant, finally after my search on the web I found this thread. Thanks guys.

How to enable double tap to wake for P9?

Hi guys,
I follow the steps below, but it doesn't work, anyone could help me out?
1) Go into system/build.prop and open it in your favorite text editor. Find the line that says ro.config.hw_easywakeup=false and change the false to true then save your changes.
2) Go to system/emui/base/xml and open up the hw_easywakeupmotion_config.xml in your favorite text editor. Find the line that says <EasyWakeupMotion name="Double_Touch" support="1" value="0" flag="0" keycode="131" /> and change the value=0 to value=1 then save your changes.
3) Restart your phone
4) Go into Settings/Smart Assistance/Motion Control and at the bottom you will now see Double Touch. Turn it on.
5) Restart your phone and you will have Double Tap to Wake enabled and working.
Hi friend
Please, show link "How to enable double tap" .
Where r link from.
yep doesn't work the same way as on the mate 8, sadly.
Either we are missing an option, maybe some other value that needs to be changed in build.prop or some other file, or it's simply not supported by the kernel at this point? I'm not sure and I have no idea where to start looking in the system files... Huawei is known for adding this feature later like they did with the P8... So there is hope
This option is not kernel supported. Is not going to work unless is kernel supported.

Just disable all apps which appears when you tap 'open settings'.
And from 'more options' disable system apps too.
You must be good to go.
Thank you its working.
I got the same issue.
It caused by facebook messenger apps.
When the application asks for permission, there will be a permission pop up display on screen, if there is any application run with screen overlay mode (just like facebook messenger or its chat head) , It will overlap the permission pop up and users will not be able to see it. After a few hour workaround with it. I found the way to resolve it without disable the screen overlay that is close the facebook messenger as well as its chat head then try again with the apps with require permission.
If the problem still occurs, Press the "List" button and end all the background applications.
