Hey, just resently recieved my new Samsung Galaxy S. Running stock UI, 2.1, Unrooted ect.
I don't really understand the benefits of rooting my phone so i'm not going to bother with that..
Just wondering if anyone has an tips for customizing my phone a bit more?
I've heard about this ADWlauncher.. So I installed it and a ADW Sense theme, but my phone hasn't changed/I dont know how to activate the theme..
+ Can anyone help me with these annoying things aswell..
1. Recieve push Facebook notifications under the notifications bar at the top?
Bloo doesn't work for me and Offical Facebook doesn't support this.
2. SMS notifications, can you remove notification when you view the message? Because at the moment, you have to press back to go to the Message Inbox then press back again to remove the notification and return to what you were doing..
3. The black background on Applications Screen, the background on SMS convosations, can you change this to a wallpaper somehow? It's annoying when it's black..
4. Can you change the dock somehow to a nicer looking one? HTC Hero has a nice dock
Thanks for everyone who posts your genius reponces, helping a newbie out
ADW Sense theme is a theme for ADW Launcher, so you must have ADW launcher installed. ADW replaces the default touchwhiz homescreen/launcher. The other option is launcher pro. Both allow you to customise the dock.
Check out my list of apps to get you started

reminder
if you want to keep using KIES you will need to switch back the phone default TwLauncher
get the utility called Home Switcher

Hello. Am using the Galaxy S4 with Apex Launcher Pro on it. Love both of them pretty much. But there was this 1 thing that annoys me. Whenever I set swipe down feature to toggle my status bar / show my notifications, all the widgets on my screen will move downwards when the status bar is being toggled. It's kinda annoying seeing my widgets move out of positions. I am using 4.1.2 stock JB and the show notification bar option doesn't work. When I swipe down, it only toggles my status bar instead of bringing the whole notification bar down. Are there any apps that would enable or show my notification bar without moving the widgets? Thanks in advance.
? Don't you get the notifications bar when you swipe down from the top of the screen - I mean without down swipe enabled in Apex. Used Apex for ages and never known this not to function

I hide the notification bar. Does it work only when the notification bar is not hide? I've tried this on another phone it works and the notification is also hidden. I just swipe down with gestures and the bar expands. It happens in Nova Launcher too...
I've searched a bit under the S7 edge specific threads here, and I haven't seen anyone else mention this. For some reason, I have no unread notification badges on top of my app icons.
One of the first things I did when I got the phone was to change from the Touchwiz launcher to the Google Now launcher. Is this the culprit? If so, is there any way to rectify it without 3rd party permission-hungry apps?

That would be why. Not sure with Google Now Launcher, but Nova has its own separate program to handle this.
Hmm... so I slapped on the Nova Launcher and the Tesla Unread and I configured Tesla Unread on things like Gmail, Messenger, Phone... and no joy. In the setup area of Tesla Unread I can see my unread Gmail messages in parenthesis, but it doesn't plop it on the icon.
I tried doing a clear data of BadgeProvider, then a force stop... and finally a reboot.
Should I just wipe this thing and start over???

Did you grant TeslaUnread notification access.? Go to unread count badge>teslaunread settings>then in should prompt you to grant notification access.
Nova Prime with Tesla Unread is working flawlessly for me, +1 on the notification permissions, probably.
OK, found it.
Nova Settings
Unread count badges <- Nova Prime only
So, my badges are $5. Didn't realize that was part of the pay bit of Nova Launcher.

Ohhh my bad, I've had Nova Prime sooooo long that I didnt realize that it wasnt included in the free version. Well worth it though:good:
missing notification badges on S7 edge
I deleted Microsoft Launcher and that fixed the problem
Hi all
I have a Samsung Phone which shows the number of notifications in a red circle against each app icon on the home screen. So i can see, at a glance, if there are any emails, whatsapp, fb messages etc....
Is there a launcher for the Tab A which would similarly indicate the notification count against each app icon, or is this something that's only possible from Marshmallow Roms ?
Thanks in advance
Nova Launcher does this. Settings - notification badges.
Whatsapp dynamic badges not working on Nova Launcher.
also dots not working also.
how to fix it?
