How to disable app badges? - Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers

Greetings all.
I have 34.4.A2.118 CE1 on my phone. I wonder why there isn't a setting for app badges in settings menu. Is there a way to make it appear? Or at least some way to turn badges off.
Cheers!

Rooted? There's probably a way with Xposed or some other root app. There's Xperia Home module by Server, and I think I remember seeing some badge settings in Gravity Box, but I never bothered looking into it. I'm using Sailfish at the moment, so can't check. I know certain launchers handle it within themselves, but I think there's framework code for it also. Try decompiling Xperia launcher and framework-res and see what's in bools...

I just found this in framework-res....

Well, I think that this is simply not possible.
You can hide the notification bar in your app but you cannot do this while other apps are in the foreground. You would need to use a custom ROM for that.
However, what would probably be possible is creating an overlay which is shown on top of the notification bar. Nevertheless apps will not be fullscreen, just your overlay will be displayed instead of the notification bar. (If you want to do this, have a look at the RoundR sources on github.) I do not think that this is what you want.
Modifiying the system UI from an app is not possible!
(And it is good that it is not. What would you say if an app removes your notification bar without your agreement? )

I understand what you are saying.
But how is Smart Statusbar done?!

Im trying to create a similar but more simplistic.

Looks like the dev is really clever. :good:
I have got an idea how he could have done it:
Create an overlay on the screen (look at some souce at github: https://github.com/MohammadAdib/RoundR , https://github.com/sukso96100/SidePanel)
If it is clicked, launch a transparent activity with this attribute in Android manifest: android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar"
After some time or after a click on the screen close it.
(No need for the status bar permission. It seems to be a one created by himselft.)
I think that this should work.

Yes, but you cannot tell the system how other apps should be shown.

[Q] Beans ROM

Anyone know whether Beans' ROM (or stock, for that matter) is capable of disabling/hiding the notification toggles entirely? I'd inquire within his thread, but not permitted to because it's for devs only...
No, I don't see anything like that.

Not sure I totally understand the question, but you can hide the status/notification bar easy enough if you use Nova Launcher??

If you use Exposed, there is a module called NotifyClean that will hide what ever you want.

Thank you, but to clarify, what I was talking about was within the notification pull-down, at the top there is normally a row of toggles with items such as wifi on/off, bluetooth on/off, etc. While I realize that you can customize the order of the items that appear within this bar, as well as which items display, I am interested in knowing whether the entire bar can be removed/hidden.
thanks

Much gratitude; I wasn't aware that existed, and that sounds like it would do the trick.

That only hides the notifications, not the toggles (I use it myself & it works perfect for what it's intended to do but hiding the toggles ain't it)

Thanks for dashing the false hope! Back to original question: anyone? Might some other xposed module do this?
*bump* in hopes of someone knowing whether achieving this is possible (removing/hiding the toggles bar in the notification pulldown)
Message beans and ask him if it's possible. Beans is a very nice person and one hell of a dev. Just be polite and not demanding and he will probably at least respond

Hide The Right Side! (Signal,Battery,Time)

Hey xda,
need some advice from u. I want to hide all the icons on the right side of my Statusbar. Things like Time, Battery, Signal,Wifi and so on. I used to use Wanam Xposed to do this but since XTouchWiz wanam removed theming options I can't do it that way anymore. I know of another module called something like flat style status bar icons but that's too much! I was wondering if one of u know another simpler way of doing this? a csc tweak/build.prop mod is welcomed. or a module.
Xposed download flat icons design. Amazing app. Completely configure the status bar.

I want something more simple. I just want to hide things not customize them. In order to hide I have to move those things outside of the visible area which sometimes messes up the position of normal notifications.

No, if you want to hide them, you select them then click hide.

Notifications badge

Hi
I'm using CM12.1 on SM-N910F.
I just want to show notification badges on differents applications like Facebook, SMS and Gmail.
I read on forums Trebuchet might be the problem and to fix it, I installed Nova Launcher and TeslaUnread but the problem is not fixed !
Do you know how can I fix it ?
Thanks for your work
Make sure you've activated Tesla under Nova and then restart the launcher. Don't use Facebook, but SMS and gmail badges work for me, I'm not on CM though but not sure how that matters.

TeslaUnread is activated on my notification access. I had also checked TeslaUnread configuration and I checked all programs. Finally, I restart my phone and nothing changed.
I don't know where is the mistake !
I meant make sure to activate it here.

Wallpaper Motion Effect Option Gone

It seems for some reason I don't get the motion effect option toggle anymore when I set up a static wallpaper.
When I first set up the phone, the option was there. Then after a few hours I tried another wallpaper and now the option is permanently gone. No restarts, clearing theme cache or resetting settings manage to bring back the option toggle. Not even using the same picture.
Anybody else experiencing this?

Sorry man I've searched and can't find anything. Hopefully someone will know but if not, you might be looking at a factory reset.

Go to Settings, Apps then Default apps and then make sure that for Homescreen, the circle for TouchWiz home is filled in.

You're a friggin genius!!! Thank you. That was bugging me to no end.
Thanks, I was wondering where the option had gone! It must have been cleared when I tried the Pixel launcher.
I had the same issue today, where I couldn't understand why the motion effect was gone. Then I remembered it had something to do when I installed Nova Launcher. I tried the launcher but I didn't quite like it so I deleted it. I went to settings and checked if touchwiz was checked on and it was not. Always Make sure touchwiz is your default home screen. Simple little thing that can really make you go nuts. It's working great now.
Perfect Solution

Motion Effect Issue
Hi everyone,
I called Samsung technical support and they told me within 2 mins now to fix the Wallpaper Motion Effect Issue.
These are the steps to follow..
1- Settings
2- Apps
3- The top right hand corner has a tab with 3 dots, hit that and go to "Default Apps.
4- Go to "Home Screen
5- Final step is, after going to "Home Screen" make sure "Touchwiz Home" is selected. If it's not Select it and that will fix the "motion effect" issue.
??
Hope that helps.
