Hey guys, sorry if this has been answered, I did search, I swear!
I've heard I should be able to edit the dock icons other than the app/home icon.. For the love of God I can't figure out how!
Anyone want to enlighten me?
EDIT:
Turns out they called it 'apps' and 'toolbar':

go into the app draw > menu > edit then drag and drop to the toolbar.

Is this in the regular settings menu?
I opened up my applications and then selected the context button and changed the type to custom, and then selected edit.

Edit:

Then in applications menu>edit

open app draw > menu > view type > customizable grid > take you back to app draw.
menu > edit > takes you back to app draw > press and hold icon to move it or drag to the tool bar.
Shooooo. That's the antonym of intuitive.
FYI to the OP and to others who may not have know, this and a lot more is in the sticky.
DUH

OMG Thank you so much. I've looked every where, Glad I finally found this thread. It is over a year old but works the same on the Sgs2 ...... Many Thanks
Generally, you can enable USB Debugging by selecting
Settings option -> Applications -> Development -> Check the box for USB Debugging to turn it on
But sometimes, the checkbox for 'USB Debugging' is unchecked and greyed (in my case). That's because the tab is currently using another USB setting scheme which disabled the USB Debugging.
There are 4 setting scheme under Setting option->Wireless and Network->USB setting:
Samsung Kies
Media Player
Mass Storage
Ask on connection
Normally the "Samsung Kies" is selected. Change it to "Ask on connection" and go back to Setting->Applications->Development->USB Debugging, you will find it is enabled and can be checked.
You're right. The pre-configured USB connection mode will override some detailed options.

I find this a pain to drill thru the menus to switch this on an off when needed. Has anyone found a widget that can control this from the home screen. I've looked and yet to find one. Since I have an AT&T SGT I have to frequently turn USB debugging on when using the Sideloading Wonder Machine app as AT&T locked out the option for sideloading apps normally. Again, it's a pain to drill thru the menus.
If you use ADW Ex (may work with ADW or another launcher that provides "Activity" or intent based shortcuts), you can create an icon that will take you directly to the page with Application options. To get to it in ADW Ex, choose add "Custom Shortcut", tap "Pick your activity", click "Activities", scroll down to "Settings", tap to expand, tap "Development(.DevelopmentSettings)" and that will directly bring up the page with the USB Debugging checkbox. I'm not sure if that particular activity was in ADW's list, but I know for certain it's in ADW Ex, as I have such an icon on one of my screens.

You're awesome! Works in a P1010 (wifi only) Tab as well, same options. Thanks!
Well, as you may or may not know, CM10 has an option to slide your finger on the status bar on the top to change brightness. I enabled that, and initially it worked. I then started using the brightness button in the notification bar, and after like 3 clicks it got stuck on auto mode. Now no matter how many times I click it or go into display and turn off auto, restart, remove the button from the notification bar, etc, the widget stays on auto (it still changes brightness, it just says its on auto) and I can't enable the status bar brightness slide, which I personally favor over the button. Does anybody know how to get rid of the glitch? Would reflashing work?
Thanks,

I had this same issue on CM9. For some reason once you turn on auto with the notification bar you cannot turn it off with the other setting. The way I fixed it was to use SQLiteEditor (a paid app by root explorer) to manually edit the settings database. Then I went into the setup for the notification bar to remove the option to toggle through auto so it would not happen again. If you don't want to use the paid app, another solution is to wipe data and start over, then immediately go to the notification setting and disable the auto toggle.

Thanks. I already tried removing data for the "Settings Data" App. Should I disable auto toggle first? It also has this error in the homescreen widget (the one with all the system toggles like btooth, wifi, brightness, etc). Also, would any SQLite or other database editor work? Where would the database file be found?
Thanks again!

Yes it is probably a good idea to turn off the toggle first.
Any database editor that works will do. But I don't know of any free ones that have a GUI to make it easy. The free ones are command line apps that are a pain.
The settings database is in /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

Had the same problem on my Nook HD running CM10.1 on the hybrid install and this fixed it today. My issue was that I think I clicked "auto" while adjusting on the slider and then the brightness was stuck and the "auto" was not checked nor was it selectable. Flipped the bit from 1 to 0 and now it's working ok. Doing a CWM backup now so I'll have the fix in my gold install.
Had this problem on my Samsung T679. Just fixed it and figured I'd record the steps for my own and other's reference. I'm cheap and like doing things the hard way, so I didn't spring for SQLiteEditor. I found that sqlite3 was already installed on the phone.
Before starting: use cwm to make backup, just in case.
1. Force-stop Settings app.
2. Get /data mounted read-write.
3. Open a shell (recommend via ssh/adb, because we have some typing to do).
4. cd /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases
5. rm settings.db-shm settings.db-wal (not sure about this step, but the change didn't seem to stick otherwise.)
6. sqlite3 settings.db
Here is my session, you should get the idea:
Code:
sqlite> .tables
android_metadata bookmarks system
bluetooth_devices secure
sqlite> select * from system
...> where name like "%bright%";
71|status_bar_brightness_control|1
278|screen_brightness_mode|1
605|expanded_brightness_mode|0OV=I=XseparatorX=I=VO1OV=I=XseparatorX=I=VO3OV=I=XseparatorX=I=VO5
607|screen_brightness|30
sqlite> update system
...> set value=0
...> where _id=278;
sqlite> .quit
screen_brightness_mode needs to be changed to 0. Don't forget the semi-colons. Now fire up the Settings app and you should be able to enable the status-bar swipe brightness control. I had to toggle it once before it worked.
I noticed it wasn't in our section, So I C+P'd OP's work. It was for T-mo's, But I added it to my GS5 on Sprint, Since it's not added to ours :/.
"
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

I've not had this problem before, but now when I plug in the phone to the PC, it opens the V20, and says the folder is empty.
USB Debugging is on.
If I turn off USB Debugging, it launches Microsoft Phone Companion. It says "To see more info, unlock your phone". IT has a line for Phone Storage and SD Card, and is greyed out.
Any suggestions?

lets cover the basics first. have you selected the tap to change usb options notification in the notification bar and then selected file transfer? if this doesnt work try changing usb slots and usb cables. if this doesnt work, do you have the proper drivers installed for your phone on the computer? if yes, uninstall it and install i back again.
Some replies in blue

I have no USB notification or options in the notification bar. All I see is USB Debugging on
if this doesnt work try changing usb slots and usb cables.
That brings up the box on the PC to select what to do. When I select the optoin to View Files, it opens an explorer window and has the message "The folder is empty"
if this doesnt work, do you have the proper drivers installed for your phone on the computer? if yes, uninstall it and install i back again.
I had installed the LG drivers. That was the first thing I tried after your reply, and it was Microsoft drivers. So I reinstalled the LG drivers. That was what allowd the window to pop up to ask what I want to do. But once I do that, it never pops up again.

I just decided to try to go into Device Manager, and uninstall the V20. Only option there was Disable, or of course update drivers.
Ok. I'm seeing them now.
On the Notifications bar is an option: "Android System - Charging". Then in small print below it says tap to change USB options.
So once I do that the following options are available:
Charging
Power Supply
File Transfer
Photo Transfer
Midi Device
Not sure what changed when. I have never gone through that menu to see files.

If you want to always use your usb for that purpose when connected to the pc, then choose file transfer and select always. It doesnt mean it will stop charging. (it will still charge the phone, however it allow access to the computer to transfer files from and on to)

That's always been the options for my v20. I've had the occasional brain fart and forgot to access the menu.
Is this a nougat thing or lg thing?
