lockscreen/keygaurd move emergency call - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

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.

Any Way to Remove "Recommended Apps" w/ Headphones?

Is there any way to remove the "recommended apps" notification that pops up when you plug in headphones, with or without root?
Settings -> Application manager -> swipe right to "All" tab.
Scroll down to PageBuddyNotiSvc....click it...Turn off.
This will turn off all of those recommended apps. Not just when plugging in headphones.
There's another way to disable each one, but requires a Nova launcher from the market. If you use that, let me know. I can post that way too.
I would like to know please.
Thanks

I was looking for a way, then realised you can use Xposed Framework to do it - http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/xposed-installer-versions-changelog-t2714053/post24267797
Install from the link above, then install Wanam Xposed, there is a option under Sound to disable it.
Hope that helps.
I've searched many forums and no one seems to have the settings I have with my Galaxy Note 3 running 5.0. I don't know why Verizon hasn't updated this model to 5.1.... but, I don't have "Pagebuddy", mine is actually called "Recommended Apps". I can see the process running. I can Force Stop it. But it comes back. And there's no setting that I can find in all of the android settings to turn it off. So am I crazy, or does this particular setup have no way to shut off this notification?
(and I can't root because it's a company phone)
SM-N900V.07
Android 5.0
Kernel 3.4.0
Build LRX21V.N900VVRUEOF1
Config B13.SAM.SMN900V.0
*** EDIT ***
Found it!! It wasn't under "Sound and Notification" as expected. It was in the "Display" settings. Then in "Notification panel", it's called "Related Apps". Turning that off gets rid of the notification for earphones.
Hope it helps someone...

[Q] Wanam and Gravity Box

Did any one use Wanam and Gravity Box at the same time already?
Currently I was missing the quick pin unlock and Gravity Box includes this.
In Wanam, I couldn't find the option. Therefore, Wanam has the disable start sound and wake on home button settings which Gravity Box doesn't include.
Any experience?
I'm currently running both, but don't know yet if they affect each other.
I've found I can use both at the same time but many things on both don't work. Eg quick settings tiles and ordering on gravity box.

I actually had Gravity Box still installed, so I just reactivated it and tried.
So far, the quick pin unlock works. I hope that skipping tracks with volume buttons still works without glitches. What I had though were 2 circle batteries So I disabled the one in Gravity Box.
It's just really hard to know which settings in one of the modules affects settings of the other one.

Home Button no longer works with s view after kit kat update

Anyone else find that the home button will no longer light the S view window. The on/off button and the volume button does but not the home button as in the past.????

Same issue here. Friend with same situation also did a factory reset, which didn't help.

other than using the power button to turn it on, and crossing my fingers that this will get re-enabled in Android 4.5/5 around July/August, no :/
Also annoyed that the auto-brightness+ setting is now gone, but that at least was fixable through the Lux app.
Brightness button did not disappear on mine. Sprint S4
Any solution for the home button?
It's a world wide issue with all tw KitKat updates.

Couple alternatives. Wanam with Xposed could fix it. Also, a different launcher would let you set it too.

Thx bud,
I don't think that the prob is from the launcher, as it doesn't work with other launchers neither (I don't use TW, also it is working normally with s-view cover opened).
I have Wanam with xposed, but don't find any option like that... could you help me out? Thx a lot!
I found another strange issue, don't know if you have it , too. If I deactivate auto-unlock when I open s-view cover, it still unlocks when I open it... even after restart.
Edit: Found the solution for other issue: Nils Notification was set to always unlock when cover opened, nothing to do with rom... My fault

In Wanam, under System, there is a section for Long Home key behavior, can you not, Launch S Voice from there?
I use Google Now, and this is how I launch that.
As for S-view, I can't help with that, I dont have that.

I go to Settings, scroll down to Slide Aside (Device section) and then click the toggle switch (top right), does that not work for you?
I don't even have that option...
I never really found it all that useful when Google's builtin Multitasking app lets me pick any open app (not just 3). Plus I don't have to manually hide anything.
I DO use the floating apps and Memo often.

Sorry, I read your initial post too quickly. I now understand that you meant you had disabled Slide Aside. So now it is listed with your Disabled apps but the Enable button is greyed out, correct?
I wonder if another app is also disabled that Slide Aside had as a dependency?
Are you rooted? Have you ever run GMD Auto Hide Softkeys?
No i'm not rooted.
D802 International with kit kat 4.4.2
As you'r right the button its greyed out.
And in the menu the option its not there.
same issue here, disabled slide away while phone is on root, flashed to official 4.4.2 and am unable to enable slide away.
I guess the solution is to root my phone and enable it again
But i'v never been rooted at all
No ideas guys?

Lol I have the opposite issue. I disabled mine (although mine is listed in disabled so idk wth is up with that) but slide aside is always showing up in running apps even though it is disabled in settings AND apps.

are you using gravity box with xposed framework?
i lost recent button as well when using gravity box and messing with the hardware keys options, long press, double tap, etc
i would uninstall gravity box if you have it and see what happens.

Nope ... no gravity box. Haven't messed with any settings in quite some time and *poof* I open recents one day and the task manager and close all buttons are gone.

if thats the case, id install xposed frameworks, install gravity box, mess with the hardware keys options and see if that FIXES it. If not, your next option would be to do a clean wipe and flash.

Yeah I run xposed with Wanam and a couple other modules. Worth a try I reckon ... Could update to latest release while I'm at it still on NI2 that should take care of it as well ...

Wanam is great for theme-ing , call, security and other tweaks, but i havent seen much about hardware keys in there, your best bet is gravity box for your recent key to come back.

Understood re: Wanam ... was just saying I have it in reply to the suggestion I install xposed. Will give it a try.
Didn't make any changes to the phone and *poof* just as mysteriously as they disappeared, they are back ... *shrug*
