I am sick of this screenshot button on screen!!!!!

Is there any way to get rid of this option????it accidently get pressed then i have to waste 10 seconds.its frustrating......i am on stock rom 4.0.3

Slow down !
This is Samsung. You can customize the button or remove it.
Go to Display in your settings. Under "quick launch" you will find a few cool options. Including disable. That will remove it entirely.

Yes, this is probably my favorite update in 4.0.4. I actually replaced the screen shot button with an app drawer one.

Where is this option?

It`s in settings/ display / quick launch , but only in 4.04

just flash a custom rom. And be done with it

That button is very convenient for me. I use it for my touch screen games.

yes buddy its convenient but when pressed accidently it is irritating

Just rename in system/app the P5_ScreenCapture.apk (Mount R/W) . That will leave the icon, but accidently taking pictures will be something of the past.
As far as I know in Touchwizz there isn't yet any solution for the system bar.

Anyone else's lock screen do this?

So I have preview messages in lock screen and status bar checked on. Why is it that when I click on the message in my lock screen this blank box appears that I can't do anything with? Never had so many questions about a phone considering I get so many a year. I've attached a picture for reference.

It's a built in function. For instance, once you click on the text, you swipe in the box below and your phone goes right to the text.

From what I've been able to tell, the swipe on that lock screen is actually a widget. The box that sometimes appears is the area where the swipe trail can be triggered.

Swipe down on the message notification, then you can click on the text message notification on the lockscreen.

that helps, although I dont see the point in bringing the box up. Not like it really matters where you swipe as it will unlock.

Its no unlocking the phone by swiping the box down. Its "enabling" the lockscreen text messaging widget that google implemented in 4.2, because by default samsung overrode the aosp lockscreen with its swip from anywhere.

So does that mean there's no way to get rid of this box that pops up?

That is correct, there is no way.

I guess it's been awhile since I used my s3 and it's just something I will get used to.

very simple to get rid of that box...... but it requires using a different messaging app that is the only way right now until roms are built

[Q] What do the text message notifications look like?

I am very curious about something that really isn't a big deal.. I don't have a S4 yet, I have a Galaxy Nexus. When I get a text message I have 3 options in the drop down notification shade. Reply, Read, Call or something like that. I have had ROMs on this phone since I got it so I am not sure what options are suppose to be in the notification shade when you get a text message on Jelly Bean phones. So when you guys get a text, by pulling down the notification shade what are the options you have if any? Thanks!

I personally don't get any options It simply shows the persons name, and the first part of the text (or amount of texts if more than one)
If you tap on it it opens the person - no options like the above.

You may find different SMS apps give more options in the notification bar and they have been incorporated into the roms you have been using

You can't expand it? (Drag it down with 2 fingers)

You can but that just shows more of the message. Doesn't give any options.

Thanks however its not a problem or fault its built into the stock firmware I realize that changing to a custom rom or launcher will fix it . But I was more hoping that someone could make a mod or a fix for this or point me in the right direction of how to remove it myself but thanks for your input

Haven't seen that on my system (stock TouchWiz), home screen items can be moved simply by hold and drag.

Must just be the Australian firmware. I tried the Telstra Firmware the same now using non branded stock firmware the thing is still there ... Sammy must think that we dumb aussies need extra help in arranging our home screens

Remove Smart stay icon in notification bar?

Hi as title says, is there a way to remove the slight faded eye looking icon in the notification bar when smart stay features are on?
I always leave the feature on so the icon sitting on my notification bar is unnecessary. I am rooted and am amusing I need to delete a system file (maybe?) so if anyone knows please tell me
Thanks!

I fixed that on mine by using the corresponding option from Wanam xposed.

What do you mean? Can you tell me the solution?

Root. Install latest xposed framework. Install Wanam exposed module. Toggle the corresponding setting there.

use 2 finger to pull down from top and you shall see the option to turn it off.

That is not the same thing, the toggle will disable smart-stay, most people would want smart-stay to still work but not to show the icon.

I don't understand the process. It sounds quite complicated so I think I'll just live with the icon showing on my notification bar.
