Some gripes about Verizon Galaxy S7 Edge - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers

1. TouchWiz - When you create a collection of icons in the home screen in a 1x1 space, the folder icon always shows the + sign at the end. I know how to add more icons in there, why waste space by having this stupid icon there that rarely gets used? AT&T, Tmobile, international version Galaxy S6 didn't have this + icon inside a folder.
2. Night Clock displays an alarm that is way far out. For example, it's Thursday today, and I set up an alarm for Wednesday 7AM. The Night Clock on the edge of the screen will always show an alarm icon with "07:00AM" displayed all the time for the whole week. Today, I don't care about an alarm that's set out for that far out. I don't know if other carrier versions does this or not.
3. Absent of Smart Manager. I know my Tmobile and international version had this software included in the S6. Why did they have to remove it? It was a pretty useful app to make sure rouge apps are suspended without having to have root. I don't want to root my phone since I have to use SamsungPay.
Currently on the latest release, PB5.

What is Suggested Project Notification?

I got this odd notification in my pull down from home page today. It said suggested projects with an icon on the left like an old fashioned movie clapboard. When I clicked it it went to a clock hand image with a wallpaper background I've never seen. I haven't downloaded any new apps. Any ideas what this is? Thanks.
We'll I did manage to find out that it came from Samsung video editor from the Samsung app store or whatever you call it. I have no idea why it gave me this notification and cannot find an option to shut them off. I rarely use the app and haven't used it lately.
Beamed from my Galaxy Note 3
Same here
I have the same problem with my samsung s5. The video editor keeps pushing notification saying. Suggested project. Tired of it

Two carrier texts in statusbar

Been reading alot here since switching from my old iPhone 6 Plus, first up, i wanna thank you guys alot for the tons of useful stuff here.
Informations:
S7 Edge G935F
Rooted Superman ROM v 1.8.1
1 SIM
So i just installed Flat Style Bar Indicators via xposed to modify my statusbar, but now there are 2 carrier text thingis (Telekom.de in my case). Using the mentioned Flat Style Bar Indicators i can hide one of them, but i can't hide the other one.
Does anyone of you have a clue what to do in this case?
(trying to add a screenshot, but since im out of data it's damn slow to upload)
EDIT: Flashed SuperMan ROM without tweaked UI - it's fine now..
Another thing.. when i wake up my phone (being in always on display or whatever) i wan't to see my lockscreen + notifications but it instantly gets me to the "enter your pin/fingerprint" unlock stuff. Is there any option to fix this?

Two Questions: Edge panel & Status bar

First of all, English is not my primary language, so there might be some spelling/grammar mistakes ahead...
My device:
Samsung galaxy s7 edge (Exynos | SM-G935F)
- Android 6.0.1
- GoodLock UI installed
- Rooted
- Xposed framework installed
- TWRP recovery
Question 1:
Is it possible to only make the edge panel visible when accessing it?
To be more precise: Normally, when opening an edge panel by swiping, the panel shows up with the rest of the screen getting blurred. A settings kog and some text also appears on the screen next to the actual panel. I would like the rest of the screen to stay normal and only see the panel itself, without blur or extras. Is there some mod that allows me to achieve this? Is there an alternative app that i could use to replace Samsung's edge panels?
Question 2:
I'd like to remove two specific icons from my status bar that i just don't want to be there. The icons i'm referring to are the VoLTE icon and the Vibrate/Mute icon. I installed some apps that claim to be able to remove them but they don't seem to work. Disabling VoLTE completely would get rid of that icon, but i want to keep that active.
Thank you for your help and time

LG V20 customizing Second screen with Apps vs. Quick Tools?

I am trying to replicate the functionality of a Galaxy Note II notification LED on an LG V20 for Sprint. AFAIK, there is no such LED on the V20 although there are some differing opinions on whether the camera flash can be used of this.
The standard email notification icon available when the main screen is off is tiny and for some reason, it disappears or gets pushed aside by other notifications. e.g.
1) I send myself email and I can see the icon within a couple of minutes
but
2) Email comes in overnight but when I check the phone in the morning, the email icon is not there although some other icons for updates and whatnot are.
I have the stock email app on the Second Screen and when mail comes in, it puts an indicator on the icon. But, this only works when the main screen is on. With the main screen off, the best I can get are the Quick Tools, none of which are relevant to me.
Is there any way to get the app icons to appear on the Second Screen while the main screen is off? Or, are there any third party apps which can show clear new email status with the main screen off?

Does your weather app update regularly?

Mine doesn't. I have to manually update it even though I have the weather in home screen. This is stupid. It's there a way to update like hourly?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yep
How?
How?
Think mine does as well.
There are times I'm not paying attention to the weather and the temperature # will change on the widget without me opening the app and manually refreshing.
Have seen it happen on at least 2 occasions that I can recall. Don't really use the weather app that much in the first place
My weather widget doesn't update. I've heard it might be a bizarre issue where it doesn't update in the EU region. Possibly a GDPR confirmation missed at one point. I didn't want to try this method for my reasons, but you could try setting your phone region to India, for instance, creating the widget and letting it detect your location. If that succeeds, you can revert to your region and the thing should then work, in theory. Let me know if you succeed.
I not working ,you can set up automatic update at night. Between 23 and 7!! Who need update when sleep.
I use Google widget At a glance and its working without any problem. Everyone have it in widget - Google
Only option I have is overnight crap. The weather is so unstable in this part of the world. I need to be able to update at least hourly, automatically of course.
Even if it does update during the night, at 6pm your widget will still be showing weather from 7am
I tried "simple weather & clock" by difer, which almost made it. I realized if you use 3rd party weather app, the time on notification bar stays on, in home screen. Which is annoying because I only want 1 big time shown on weather app that also allow me to access timer and alarm. Who needs 2 of same time shown on home screen? I rather have defect stock weather app, looks neater at least..
I also have the clock always in the status bar. Except for when a notification arrives, or right after unlocking it. It's connected to the default launcher and I'm using the Poco Launcher. I need my app drawer
If you don't want the clock in the status bar, you could use the MIUI clock only widget, and then just a separate widget for the forecast.
