why does Verizon s3 not have wifi in the notification toggles?? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

is there a way to add it? or change the other toggles?

I don't know why it doesn't in the normal toggle area, but considering it annoys you in the lower notification about it (and you can turn it on from there), you don't really need it in the normal toggle area (even though it'd be nicer to have it there).

The easy way to say it... verizon decided to take a beautiful phone and **** it up.

(Mod) Enable/Disable shutter sound option in camera (how to)

I used and found this mod in the Sprints Galaxy S3 forum. I did not see this posted here so I wanted to share this. I take no credit for this. This was done by Freeza and by s3.Zeke.
What you have to do is use an app like root explorer and change the following lines in /system/csc/feature.xml
Edit the following:
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>false</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
Change the "false" to true. Save the changes and exit.
Reboot your phone and now you can toggle if you want shutter sound in options.
Remember you have to reboot your phone or it will not show up.

An easier way, for me was:
Open Root Explorer
Navigate to System>media>audio>ui
Mount R/W
Scroll down to 'Shutter.ogg'
Rename to 'Shutter.ogg.bak'
Profit!
I've done this on both stock and Beans B14. I haven't tried it on AOSP, so the file structure may be different, but the idea is the same. (The file was called 'Camera_shutter.ogg' on the Thunderbolt.)

While this idea turns the sound off, you have to go through all the steps to change it every time. The OP's way allows you to toggle it on and off inside the camera's options. So you wouldn't need to go through all the steps every time you want to turn it on or off.

I installed the 'HE' ROM, and made the changes above.
The settings menu is not showing the sound toggle, although the device was rebooted and the 'true' value is confirmed.
Was working on G7 previously.
I'll retry.
Update:

That's crazy. So Verizon actually removed that option with the update? I can't even think of anyway that would benefit them. I can confirm the T-Mobile version still has it on the latest update. Bizarre.

Its not a matter of benefit its a matter of perverts taking pictures and video with no one knowing. Its actually illegal in some states to disable the sound due to these retards that cant get their own woman and have to take pictures and video home to their computers to wack it too.

Thanks for this, works great on MA2! Just a note, make sure you properly set permissions of the saved feature.xml file. ES typically created a backup of the original file, and doesn't properly set permissions on the new edit, and this mid won't work until you correct that.

Halo feature, paranoid android

What do you guys think about the new paranoid android halo feature? I think it's gonna be fantastic with PIE. The whole reason why i never switched to using PIE is because i couldn't keep track of notifactions easily.

I had the same experience with PIE. I never use it because I can't see my notifications when I turn my screen on quickly and turn it off, but Halo might solve that problem. However, I do have issues with PIE because it gives me issues with things at the very bottom of my screen like the space key. Sometimes I hit the key and it activates PIE instead of space (or whatever else I have down there are the moment).

You can move the trigger area to the left, right, or top for using pie.

Yes, but it creates the same issue for me. If I want to swipe the screen from right to left in an app it pulls out pie.
It's a minor issue and one I would surely get used to if I used it more, but it has still kept me from using it.
been impatiently waiting for this feature. hopefully it gets ported over to our build with the quickness. it looks great.

Me either, it makes a lot of sense on phones with on-screen softkeys, like the Nexus, but on a phone with dedicated hardware buttons like the GS3, it's totally unnecessary.

unless youre like me and dont use hardware buttons.
Ive always used pie or the navigation bar.
I hate using the buttons.
Pie is useful for shortcuts to activities or apps you use often.
Example: I may want to look at the weather or messaging app, or maybe even battery stats. But I'm in the middle of a different app. No need to close it and find the app on my home screen. I can just use pie.

I like the idea of HALO, but I haven't found a ROM yet where the blacklist function works as advertised. I'd like to have HALO not show me Tasker or Clipper (my clipboard manger), and blacklisting and whitelisting never work.
On the PIE tangent, it's nice to be able to do things like sticking in a shortcut to a Tasker task to the app drawer, so you can get to your app drawer without having to go to the home screen first. Having 2 rows available as in some ROMs gives lots of quick options.
waitting for the apk
I love the lmt launcher I hope they make halo a apk file so I can install it like lmt on my moar ROM
Could someone explain the pie feature to me? I don't get the point when we have physical buttons. It makes sense on a nexus 4 since it only has on screen buttons.

just personal preference. I just dont like using the buttons. once you get teh gestures down its quick and responsive. it also adds some real estate to the screen over the nav bar. that with halo allows for full screen use which i like.
you can turn it off in every rom ive ever used.

I can't stand it.

It doesn't get rid of it off the lock screen. Just doesn't tell me who it is, which is even more annoying

yea, i dont like the new ls either... i prefer the aosp one...
Use the message center lock screen widget. Its a single communication screen for all messages. Does that help?
Guys the problem is this - when you enable ""Preview Message" it enables it on the lockscreen, which is nice I guess, whatever. But, this also enables you to see who sent the message in the notification shade.
Now, when you turn it OFF it still shows it in the lockscreen AND the notification shade but doesn't tell you who it is.
The big issue with this is, if you have a lock-pattern or other security turned on WITH "Preview Message" turned on, then anyone can see the contents of the SMS on the lockscreen - BAD SECURITY. On AOSP, this did not behave in this manner. On AOSP you would receive the notification, but that's all I need to see "Hey I have an sms!" - I don't need to preview this if I have enabled security on my phone for the very reason of keeping prying eyes off my phone.

I was JUST going to post about that. I have some nosy ass girls who look over at my huge screen whenever they hear a beep or a buzz and I REALLY can't believe they wouldn't include a seperate option to NOT see the message preview from the lock screen.
It's nice to be able to preview it WHEN you slide the notification bar yourself but I don't need prying eyes on my lock screen.

im running apex launcher pro and rooted but even when i enable all the options , i get no notifications on my lockscreen , does it work with apex or only tw ?
I hate this lock screen too! It's so frustrating because I have long fingers, and I very often hit the clock when trying to swipe which just "grabs" the clock instead of unlocking the phone..
I am completely missing the point of widgets on your lock screen. I don't want them at all and I want to turn them off, but that's not an option. Why?? I want the screen to unlock whether I swipe the clock or a blank part of the screen!
Opening messages directly from the lock screen now is also a chore. Who thought to themselves that sliding a puzzle piece across the screen (or dragging your finger across an icon) to look at a message was too hard, and then came up with the current implementation? Click the message, then swipe your finger in a very specific part of the screen. Because that's intuitive.
We can have many home pages that have all of the widgets and icons we want on them. Why do we need an extra layer of them on our lock screens? If the lock screen weren't cumbersome to use, then shortcuts on the lock screen wouldn't be necessary because they wouldn't be saving any time.
The way the lock screen works really irritates me, and I honestly thought about just keeping my GS III because of it (and a couple of other things that are OT).
As cheesy as the slider lock screen on the iPhone is, one thing I really like about it is the ability to open the camera app directly without having to input my (corporate IT mandated) PIN to use it. That extra second or two wasted putting in my PIN on the S4 could mean I might miss a neat shot. It needs some tweaking, for sure.

Text Percentage in notification tray

I know with samsung and htc, there's a setting that allows you to add a text % to the notification tray. I haven't been able to find one for the Maxx, has anyone else looked?
I know you can add a battery app to do it, but I prefer it be on the right side so it doesn't take up additional space.
