a voice comes up when editing folders in drawer

Hi guys.
I flashed RR v7 on my note (so ICS).
Maybe I have got a hidden setting I didn't know the existence before.
If I put in edit mode the app drawer to manage my apps in folders, when I open or close the folders there's a synthetic voice telling "folder opened, folder closed" plus something else....
Am I wrong? Any suggestion? I want to get rid of that. Only doing this operation I hear that. Really annoying. I did not check anything in voice settings...
Thanks.

Check System Setting > Accessibility for a Voice Over feature. Turn everything off in that menu, might be it.

Thx mate. Already checked and everything is off. In my opinion is due to the custom ROM I have. In fact it is the only place of the entire phone where I have such voice "help". There must be some hidden recall to voice function active on that. Quite annoying but I can survive.
Thanks for your reply.

I had this 'bug' using the new galaxy s3 launcher. I've reverted back to stock launcher before i found the cause of it.
Hope this leads you in the right direction

Mate, you are right.
I changed the default s3 touchwiz with the classic one and the "bug disappeared".
So it is related to the new touchwiz itself.
Thanks so much to have given to me the right tip.
Cheers!

You mean feature lol

Feature? Yes if it would be a thing I can choose..
Not this case...

I had a similar problem but was triggered by my 'Iphone Notifications' app, it looks like apps enable under 'Settings/Accessibility/Services' can trigger this wierd behaviour in touchwiz, i disable iphone notifications and the 'Folder Opened' voice goes away, I enable it and it comes back.

If you disable any Text to speech (TTS) apps installed, usually have a Google one and a Samsung one installed in Stock ROMS, the problem should disappear. Its a well documented problem with Google Talkback.

[Q] Is there any way to disable Recommended Shortcuts in notifications?

Does anybody know how to disable Recommended Shortcuts in the notifications shade? It appears every time I plug in the headphones. I remember that I had to freeze an apk on my Sgs3 to disable it on early firmwares. Later there was an option in the clock settings to turn it off. For the life of me, I can't find that option anywhere on the sgs4...

I've noticed that if you stop the Page Buddy service before plugging in headphones, it no longer appears. That said there's no option for Page Buddy like there was in the Note 2, or at least not in the same place it was on there.

Yes exactly, I have it disabled on my note 2 (haven't yet managed to sell it on).
I wonder what does this page buddy do on a SGS4?

From the description it's supposed to provide contextual pages.
I disabled the app and the notification went away. I'm leaving it disabled for now to see if it affects anything else I use.

Also there is an option for "Show notifications" for the Page Buddy service Application page. I just unchecked that, leaving the application enabled and the notification is gone now.

I wonder: What is "recommended shortcuts (earphones)" and where can I configure it? I like the idea, yet I'd like to configure it.
But I can't seem to find a setting or app. Is it really connected to a "Page buddy" app? I have no such app on my SGS4.

is there a way to remove/hide Ongoing Notification?

this is ridiculous!
all these Ongoing Notifications taking up the whole screen!
is there any framework or app able to remove or hide it?
I know 3Minit able to do it on galaxy s4.

I hate them. .. I'd love to know the same

Any help if you go to: Settings -->General --> Applications --> Choose an app --> uncheck "Show Notifications"
ps. Not exactly sure did I give correct names to menu, as my phone language is not english.
pss. You should get there also if you drop notification bar down and long press the notification --> It give something like App Info --> then uncheck "Show Notifications"

For some reason this does not persist after a reboot. Is this by design, or is it a bug? The toggle is switched off after a reboot, but the notifications are there anyways.

Root> go to es file explorer> delete or rename knox> reboot.
This is how I made it work on note 2.

It acts same way in my phone, so it looks like a bug, but it doesn't matter for me as I don't boot my phone so often it could get annoying..
If I need to re-check them once or twise a week, no big deal
Anyway I hope Samsung will fix it

Yep, it reverts after a reset.

An apology for bumping a thread older than my nephew, but has anyone found a non root method for 7.0 n. ??

Lightflow kills one hand operation

I don't use it very often but I do like one handed operation. Today I realized that it wasn't working so I started undoing all the mods/setup I've been working on. Turns out it was lightflow. I can disable it in accessibility options and one hand operation immediately starts working.
Are there any other decent led control apps to try?
Thought I'd post here to hopefully save anyone else the trouble if they run into the same problem.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

It seems like having anything enabled under Accessibility kills one-handed mode.
But Light Flow is working for me without the Accessibility setting. There's a new setting called Notification Access in the Security section.
Try enabling Light Flow there and see if it works. As I said, mine is working that way, but I'm also rooted, so maybe that has something to do with it...

Yeah it was enabled there too. Maybe there's just something wrong with mine because my wife just informed me that hers is working find and all she did was install it and forget about it. I had to enable options I've never used before like the one to make the led flash even when the screen is on, in order to get or to do anything at all.
I'm rooted too.

Make sure that you have the LED settings under 'Settings' > 'Display' to have "Charging" and "Notifications" checked along with the checkbox in 'Security' > 'Notification Access'.

Lol, looks like that was my problem. For some reason I thought they all needed to be turned off so I did that initially and didn't even think to revisit it.
Thanks.

So we don't need to enable it in accessibility? Cuz that ruins most features. Makes you disable them.

Mine is currently disabled in Accessibility and enabled in Security -> Notification Access. In Display -> LED indicator, I have Charging, and Notifications checked.
Working like a charm.

Works good this way with or without root. Just installed.opened.enabled the notification access. And use. Doesn't need enabled in accessibility.

In my S3 they had to be disabled in stock settings to work. In this they need to be enabled in stock settings for it to work. I know lightflow told me to disable it in stock settings on the S3.

lockscreen/keygaurd move emergency call

I'm using kangakat and Gravity box. On my lock screen, the emergency call button is millimeters from the home button and so I constantly hit it by accident. Can I move it above the Sliding ring? I could do with removing that carrier id as well.

You can't actually change the location of the emergency call button. You can, however, remove it and the carrier logo. I did that using Wanam xposed app. It has a lot of the same things as Gravity Box and more. You also don't have to worry problems with using both apps. You can use some settings in GB and some in Wanam without compatibility issues.

Thanks. I tried wanam xposed, found the settings but they don't seem to stick (wanam does say my ROM is not supported). Unless I have a way to do it manually I may be stuck. Asking about it in the gravity box thread is a nonstarter.
In case anyone find this thread, the settings are in "wanam xposed" not "wanam kit"

I didn't think to ask you if you were on stock rom or not. There may be an easy way to do it under the lockscreen settings in the rom. If not you might also be able to manually change that setting in the build properties, but I've never tried to do that with a custom rom. If you tell me what rom you are using I can try it on my phone and see if I can find a way to do it. It may take me some time, but I'll help you out.

Kangakat 6.0
I don't see it in the security settings. Thanks for your help.
