[Q] Disable keylights on PAC

Hey just signed up with my new email and I am unable to post of the PAC forum yet. so i figured i would get some help here. Anybody have any idea how to disable the back and menu key backlight. I hate the lights coming on even for just a second, its a unnessecary (but small) battery drain, and i really like how flat and black my phone looks and would rather not have those buttons show.

You may disable key light as it. Setting/my device/display /touch key light duration /always off. If I helped. Press the thanks button.

Thank you but i think that is how to disable to lights on the stock rom. I am using the 9/4 nightly of the PAC rom. the setting is not under display and lights.

It used to be under advanced settings. that is no longer an option. any ideas?

Use a different launcher like nova, apex or adw, long press the home screen and add shortcut. Add advanced settings. There ya go

Move settings across to the left so you get the screen with PAC settings scroll to 'buttons' down the bottom and you can turn them off in there

Share A Really Good Tip with Note 3 Users

Hi guys,
Now that you've spent some time with your Note 3, how about sharing your top recommended tip with the community.
This tip should be more like your personal experience with the device. I'll go first...
Switching to Nova Launcher Prime with system animations set to fast took my user experience to an all new level...be sure to use "zoom fade" effect on nova settings...

Great thread, I used to use card stack, but changed to zoom fade, thanks for the tip, the tip I would share would be invisible lock screen widget, place it on your home screen, and turn your phone on stand by without any icons showing.

Will try this out soon thanks!
Here's another tip: After trying a lot of hd wallpaper apps, I found "ZEDGE" to be the best in terms of wallpaper clarity and variety. I now use this app and filter out newest wallpapers with stunning picture quality.

Quick Torch access
There is a setting to allow the flash to be used a s a torch quickly while the screen is off. You long-press the Volume-Up key to start it, and press the Volume-Down key to stop it. It also has an optional timeout setting.
To get this setting, called 'Torch Light' I use the 'Activity' shortcut in SSLaucher, as it is not in the normal settings. You can also use the 'Activity Launcher' app. Once set, you do not have to set anything again.

Here's a good one....want Developer options? This is bizarre, but go to 'About device' in settings, then to your build number which appears greyed out. Click it about three, four times, it'll say 'you're almost a developer' and then bam it'll say you are, go back to settings and wala, you'll see a new 'Developer Options' tab! Kinda strange way to get it to show, but it works.

Man this has to be the best tip that I've seen so far hands down...I literally installed spare parts plus to get the dev options and make animations faster!
Off to unistall spare parts and see the shiny developer options in settings! Thanks a ton mate!

TIP to Reduce Number of Button Press on Note 3:
So this is a tip to substantially reduce the number of times one has to press the power on and home button.
Install "lock screen widget" from the play store (free) and place on ure home screen...it automatically switches off screen on touch...
For those of you who long press the home button to get the multi tasker up...configure the swipe up action in your non touchwiz launcher to open the "recent apps" list...

*Bump*

- Under Settings--> controls --> SPen you can set S pen Keeper, to alert you if you ever walk away without attaching the Spen. In case you forget it. Which has happened to me twice so far. :silly:

In settings/device/accessibility and under the section of mobility you can select the assistant menu and a little pop-up menu will give you some nifty shortcuts if you are using the s pen and don't want to press the home button of s shame with the pen hahaha it's just terrible to do it.

Thanks for the s pen tips guys...though I've really not come around to using it often on a daily basis.

LG G3 Has A Screen Mode

So I'm looking in the hidden menu with the Quick Shortcut Maker app and searched screen mode and what do you know its there. Standard, Vivid, and Natural. I cant tell the difference when switching but its there. Just sharing info...:good:

Cant find this mode on secret menu..

Hmm maybe this has something to do with the difference in whites between screens (blue tint vs yellow tint)

It's not in the secret menu. You have to go through the app mentioned in the first post. At least that's how I found it. Hope this helps.

As soon as you open the app it says input keyword. Type screen mode and the tap done. Settings pops up tap it and then you will see settings Screen Mode tap it then tap on Try and it pops up.

I've tried changing it but I don't seem to see a difference. Although it could be me since I'm not very into detail. Can anyone tell which is the best setting?

It's probably a feature that wasn't finished and left in incomplete. That's probably why there isn't a difference and it's hidden. They have that accessibility thing for color that they might have gone with instead.

I search for this with shortcut app and there is no "screen mode" on hidden menu or any other app in my phone.if I search for screen and mode there are options but not this one.
Which version and model are you running?
Mine is V10j for D855.

It is present in the Verizon 985 version, but does not seem to do anything.

It's hidden in the settings when you search for screen mode under the activities. Press the down arrow and a list will show, find the screen mode. Mine is V10i, SEA version. From what I see, they're all the same.

If you use an alternative launcher as in Nova you can get to the ScreenMode without installing any other app.
Simply press & hold on Home Screen, select Shortcuts, then from the list select Activities and scroll down to Settings (on my G3 it says there are 364 different settings to choose). Finally scroll through the list until you get to ScreenMode, tap on it and it will create a shortcut icon on your Home screen.
Tap on the icon and it launches ScreenMode.
Note: I didn't notice any differences with the choices available.

Same here no difference i am on v10H.

Nice find man. But I don't notice anything?

10j no difference.

My guess would be that they would add it with an update in the future.
Would actually be cool if you can have the option to make things more vibrant (not to say i'm not satisfied with the screen, but sometimes change can be nice)

I sure hope so. I hope it's not the opposite, where they disabled it, but forgot to remove the code. I'd like a more vivid screen as well. I played with the color options in accessibility, but the results are... Ehh....

Clock stuck in upper right hand corner, how do I get rid of it?

A friend of mine is having issues with his samsung galaxy s4, there is a clock stuck in the upper right hand corner of the screen. Not the one that is suppose to be there... he's not sure what he installed on his phone, to be able to uninstall it, and I've gone thru the phone... without any luck... I'm at a loss, other than deleting everything he's got on it one by one just to see what it was... next step... so if anyone has any ideas... that would be great...
Thanks!!!

Are you sure it's not the set alarm icon?
Check the alarms - if any exist, try disabling them to see if the icon disappears.
If it is the set alarm icon, I don't think you can remove it...

Nope.. it looks like the reg "time, battery, and signal" like it should be in the right hand corner, but when you pull down from the top, there is the orig. one that is suppose to be there. This one that's there is masking over the original ... goes away when in certain screens... so not sure where this came from, or how to "rid it"
But thank you for that bit of info!!!

Hmmmm... I would back up everything that I want to keep and that I know doesn't have to do with a clock then wipe your device and start over

Xda app no menu button

Ok so i got my edge plus yesterday. Been using the regular s6 for a few months now and in the xda app there is a actual menu button with 3 dots that kinda hovers down at the bottom. Well on my plus it isnt there. Cant figure out how to being up the menu. If i hold back with a longpress it just starts backing out. Holding home brings up google now. And holding the task brings up multiwindow.
My problem is i cant bring up the menu to create a new thread. Thats why im posting this on my s6 rather than my edge.
Is it something simple im just overlooking?

Dis you guys try to uninstall and install again? Im using XDA premium 4 and everything is awesome here

Yeah I have the same issue. One thing you can do though (not a permanent solution) is to go to accessibility settings and then add that hovering extra button and in that way you can access the menu button.

Long press back button?

I wrote about this over in the Note 5 forum. Nonfiction except to use the XDA premium app, which I think is inferior.
Actually the sad thing is that there's so little one can do to the locked device that I stuck to the free version and it doesnt matter as I hardly have a need to create new forums like the old days (where are you now, HD2???).

Here is the temp fix guys the problem is a lot of apps detect if there is a hardware menu button and omit showing the soft 3 dot button common in a lot of apps. The S5 has no dedicated menu button but it does have the long press home button option to launch the More options/Menu button, however out Galaxy S6 models do not have this option. BUT some apps still detect it and delete their in app button.
Here is the fix I figured out that works in this situation and it would be good to pass this on or write up a document.
Go to phone settings => Accessibility => Dexterity and interaction => Assistant Menu.
At the top right slide the off button to on to enable the Assistant menu icon on all screens. Then click on the Edit option. In the edit menu deselect all the buttons you do not need by hitting the red negative on the icons (-) in the upper part of the screen. (note it has two buttons that you cannot remove Home Screen, and Menu Settings) on the bottom half of the page hit the green plus sign (+) on the More Options button (It has 3 dots).
Now on all screens is a little round button with 4 dots on it, it appears on all screens in all programs and is floating. There is the More options button now which is the software menu button we are missing =). You can just go back and disable Assistant menu afterward or like me leave this handy button on because I have multiple programs that do this.
Hope this helps guys Cheers!

Long pressing back key brings up menu in most of the Apps

Yeah I tried that it did not work in the app that I run that I could not get to the menu with, I will try another program and see if I can get that to work. I also tried many of the other options I could find through the searches. See the reply above mine in this thread.
