I have a new Verizon i815 and am trying out the stock firmware since I would like to have GPS/auto-brightness/stability.
Is there a way to customize the notification bar without having a custom rom? Specifically, I wish to:
--Remove the "No SIM Card" notification, wireless network notification and brightness slider
--Remove some of the toggle switches
--Remove the "mini apps" shortcut
I'm hoping someone will come along and say, "Stupid noob, haven't you ever heard of $specialtool?"
I'll answer one of these: Using PimpMyRom, I was able to access my Tab's "hidden menu" and disable the cell radio entirely! It no longer complains about the SIM card... hopefully it will also save some battery.

I'm not sure if this is a setting or a byproduct of TF3D, but I can't stand the way that alerts work.
If I have a reminder for an upcoming appointment, the notification toast doesn't appear at the bottom like it did with my Mogul and other WM devices. The chime goes off and the alert icon appears on the menu bar, so I hit that, I get the menu bar selection screen and then if I hit the alarm bell, the toast displays at the bottom.
I'm running the default Sprint ROM for now, with some of the basic tweaks. This (and the inability to use a 4-pin headset) are my only real remaining beefs.
Is there a config or tweak I can do, is this just the way it is?

I have a ATT fuze so I dont know how much of difference the set up is...Did you look in system, sounds and notifications then notifications then scroll to reminders and make sure display message on screen is checked...What else have you installed that could be interferring?
Slawcops hint did the trick here.
After upgrading to the newest HTC official (dutch) ROM, TF3D was always in front of such system messages.
By going into the setting menu, sounds and notifications, notifications tab
then selecting "Reminders" (I guess thats what's it called in the english version) in the dropdown box and enabling the "show message in screen" my problem was solved.
Hope this helps!
edit: It would seem this action is needed every time after a soft-reset...if anyone knows where and if this value is stored in the registry, I would really like to know.
Hi guys,
I have a new Atrix 2 unlocked and using it with a non-US operator.
I am constantly getting notification "Background data disabled" in the status bar. When I go to Settings->Battery&Data manager->Data delivery the "Background data" option is greyed out.
If I open Android Market, I get a pop-up telling me I need to enable background data and this takes me to what looks like original Android data settings menu (not Motorola customized) where I can enable the background data (this change is reflected also in still greyed out Data Delivery option in Motorola Battery&Data manager) and now Market runs fine.
However, I still have the Background data disabled notification in the popup.
Does anyone know how to get rid of the notification and how to make it possible to change this settings in Motorola customized settings?
The phone is also rooted (to get rid of AT&T logo in status bar).
And one more - does anyone know how to enable Edge (2G) vs 3G data selection? It's not available in Settings anywhere.
Thanks.
For switching between 2g/3g take a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1456609
Not so sure though as to why the background data option is grayed out.
Thanks, 2G/3G resolved now.
Hey all,
I've got a Verizon SGS3 and I had a couple questions.
1. The notification power widget. It's got so much stuff and it takes up a lot of room on the notification shade. Is there a way to eliminate it or remove some of the useless ones? I never use bluetooth.
2. There's also a weird icon next to my 4G icon near the clock. Anyone know what it is? http://i.imgur.com/Cat4R.png And if I can get rid of it?
Also, bonus question: A way to remove all the useless ****ing share options for pictures/other files? I will never use S-Memo, Color, Group Cast, Messaging, Backup-assistant plus to share any of this ****. Go away.
Me too!
I have disabled everything I can think of and this icon will not go away!

I believe that's the "Wi-Fi Notification" icon that is persistent in Verizon SGS3 phones.
The only way currently known to disable it is to root the phone and modify a database value use a SQLite Editor.
LS,
Does anyone know of a way to remove both the SIM icons from the pull down menu of an S5 mini Duos?
Like here for the GT-I9082: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283514
(which I'm too afraid to flash on my S5 mini).
I've seen suggestions to use Xposed modules, but I can't figure out which one(s) to try...
I'm using stock 4.2.2.
Thanks in advance!
After som etrial end error, I managed to cook something up myself (see attachemnt). For use with TWRP.
It only hides the ridiculously big dual-sim-switch icons in the pulldown, leaving more space for other stuff.
Hey there, nice job!
I use the icons quite frequently but would love to make them smaller. Would you have any ideas to help?
Regards
Keliuss
Probably, if I can find time in the next 2 weeks
But out of curiosity, what do you use them for? In the phone settgs, I enabled that the phone is askimg me to use which SIM every time I make a call. Never had to use the pulldown icons again after that....
I guess the banner of the dual SIM icons can be made smaller. If I remember correctly, there are the icons with the SIM name / number beneath the icon. I think the banner itself can be made smaller, or the little icons can be removed, or the SIM name can be removed.
Tell me what you want and I'll give in a shot somewhere in the next 2 weeks...
Hey there IcyK,
Apologies for not getting back sooner but I've been too busy. First of all I'd love to know where that setting is that asks you every time which sim to use. Damned if I can find it.
Anyway I'm living between two different countries and so I switch sims fairly regularly depending on where I am. This switching doesn't bother me at all. In fact I think I'd prefer it to being asked every time I make a call. What bothers me is the amount of space the two buttons take up on the drop down menu. If Samsung had done it right there would just be a toggle button at the top with wifi etc. to toggle between sim1/sim2
I've played around with systemui.apk before (I have customised sim icons in the notification bar) but I didn't do it the proper way with flashing a zip file. I did it the easier (and clumsier) way of modifying the apk and just replacing it.
So I'd love to know which settings to mess about with to reduce the size of the sim icons
Regards
Keliuss
Hi Keliuss,
I'll try to explain how to find the setting that asks which SIM card you wanna use. I have a phone in Dutch language, so maybe the wording of the menu options can be a bit off (because of translation Dutch -> English).
It can be found by going to (Apps ->) Settings -> SIM card manager (the purple icon).
At the top, there are the 2 switches to switch the individual sIM cards on or off (making the phone operating on a single SIM )
Below that, there are three options:
- Voice call
- Video Call
- Data service network
When you tick one of them, you can choose either
- Current network
- Always Ask
- SIM 1
- SIM 2
Needless to say, you'd probably wanna select 'Always Ask' for Voice Calls
After that, when you enter a phone number, of select a number from the logging history, you're presented with the choice to use SIM 1 or SIM 2 for your call.
I just got my Verizon Galaxy S6 and I love it after debloating it with CleanROM Lite and disabling any unnecessary apps. I have a couple questions regarding the dropdown menu though.
Here's what mine currently looks like: https://i.imgur.com/sArnGjj.png
My questions are,
1. Can I hide that charging notification? I don't need a notification to know that my phone is being charged. It's pointless and takes up space.
2. Is there a way to change the name of buttons on the quick settings panel? The 'Mobile Hotspot' button takes up two lines which I don't like.
3. Is there a way to remove the "Verizon Wireless" from the bottom of the notification drawer? I remember being able to do this on my Galaxy S3 a long time ago, so I'm wondering if it's still possible.
Thanks!
Bump
The only thing I can think of is for you to root and flash extreme syndicate rom. Alliance framework I believe you can change the Verizon text and you can remove the text from the toggles period. I don't know of a solution for the charging notification at the moment.
