Galaxy Note 3 NFC Status bar icon removal - Galaxy Note 3 General

This is pretty easy, just for reference I'm on a n900w8. Canadian Note 3, But I do believe it is the same on all?
First things first,
Prerequisites:
ROOTED Note 3.
A root file explorer (I use ES File Explorer)
A text editor (one comes with ES File Explorer)
Common sense.
1) open your root explorer
2) go to /system/csc/ and open others.xml with your text editor.
3) scroll down until you see NFC and "DEFAULT"

This may be a silly question, but I noticed you do not have the horizontal red and green arrow icon. Do you know what it is and how I could get rid of it?

The one below wifi or 3g/lte? Its there just grey be because I was not downloading or uploading anything. The up arrow means uploading, the down arrow means downloading. Not sure how to remove it. I like it.
If that's what you meant then I can't help you, but iv never seen any other arrows besides thoes. Sorry

I have a set to the left of those, with a solid green and red icon that I can't figure out. The one under Wi-Fi at least make sense, or indicate activity. The icon I have seems to just sit there. Thanks though!

One day when you get some time on your hands scroll through all your settings, and turn everything thing on and off and see what removes it, then let me know and i'll see what I can do to help you out ;p
You've sparked my curiosity

Will do. It is driving me crazy.

This is what I am seeing, FYI.
Edit: it goes away in airplane mode.

It has been there about 12 hours now, since I activated the phone. I suppose I could try rebooting at lunch and report back.
Edit: I'm dumb. Rebooting made it go away. It must have been a remnant from activation, a confirmation that the service was activated successfully.
Sorry for wasting time and hijacking the thread!

while you're at it, any idea how to remove the blocking mode icon?

You can use wanam/exposed framework. Has an option for removing statusbar icons

NSA Mirroring is turned on.
It is not in the manual, or at least the copy I have. It could be an icon for an app you have loaded onto your phone though.
I would think you could pull down the notification window and see a matching entry??

Look for something in the others.xml involving blocking mode, But I have no idea if it would be there or not.
Like the fellow above me said, there are apps that remove status bar icons for you. (I just prefer to do it myself rather then install another app i only need for 5 seconds)

I also noticed this the first few days I had my phone, looked it up under settings>about>Icon Glossary, just says "Sent" and "received" for some data I'm guessing, not sure where
ANYways, I've got the Verizon version of this phone and when I navigate to the directory to edit this file, I open the text file and it's completely different than the file I'm seeing in this post;
I see the following:
Any reasons why my file is different? Where I could possibly find this NFC file for verizon Phones?

I like that NFC icon, but Aussie version never have that icon..

Please make that image smaller, i believe its against forum rules to post one so massive.
Is that a note 3? I'm on the n900w8 model. Not sure if that will make a difference but i even had a different NFC icon then you to begin with (a ugly blue N).. Let me know and i'll look into it

[MOD] Remove Text From Home Screen(s) (Rosie)

Some alternative home launchers (ADW) enable you to remove the text underneath the icons on your home screen(s). The mod does the same while keeping the stock Rosie.
Attached is a MetaMorph that you can use to apply to your existing Rosie.apk, that will remove the text from the icons on the homescreen(s), while retaining any previous edits done to your Rosie launcher. It does not currently recoup the space that the text previously occupied, however, it does allow for a "cleaner" look.
Reference:

}
XML MetaMorph Control File <--- Apply using the latest MetaMorph Application
Note: When modifying Rosie.apk with MetaMorph any of your existing widgets on all of your screens will likely get reset and need to be re-added.
Also, for some reason on the EVO, Rosie does not appear to like to be edited via MetaMorph, and as such, after applying the MetaMorph, you phone may freeze, requiring a battery pull or issuing a reboot via adb. All will apply fine after reboot.
As an alternative, you can pull the 'resources.arsc' file out of the linked MetaMorph, and manually insert it into your existing Rosie.apk file, and adb push back to your phone. It is recommended to issue the push during a reboot, or generate an update.zip file to flash via recovery. Pushing via reboot or applying via an update.zip file in recovery will prevent you from having to re-apply any of your widgets. As mentioned above, applying changes to Rosie while the phone is fully booted causes you to have to re-apply any widgets.
haha!!! been wanting this since I got my Evo!!!! Thanks a lot!!!!
thanks man im not sure if im going to use this but im definetly considering it

YEAYUH!
BEAUTIFUL! I've been looking to remove the text from my screens for a while too! No chance there's a flashable version, or a set of instructions for the N00Bish, is there?

Problem is, if you have any other changes to Rosie making it non-stock, a flashable zip will undo those other changes. It's such an easy change, if you want, post up your Rosie.apk file, and I'll modify it and create a flashable zip.
Will this myn-WarmTwoPointTwo-09-27-2010-RLS-1 ROM work with this .zip file on recovery clockwork mod flash?
Worked great with Myn
Btw.. thank you OP.
sent from EVO with XDA app.
The linked zip file is a MetaMorph. It is not a flashable zip that can be applied via any recovery.

Anyone else notice that this doesn't work with the HTC Sense settings widgets? This removed all the text from my home screen (flashed with Metamorph only lost my widgets not my icons) but the Wifi, GPS, Mobile data, and Ringer Profile all still have text. I assume this is because they are widgets not app icons?
Also oddly enough it un-centered the Phone icon on my Rosie launcher using Virus theme, it is now slightly to the left, doesn't matter at all to me just found it odd.
Again sir, another great MOD. Glad you have an EVO now, I always seem to like your MODs.

That is correct. Any widgets that have text under them are essentially not program shortcuts and would have to be modified directly, as opposed to globally via Rose

That is what I thought for the widgets just wanted to be sure. As for the phone icon mo that was actually me not being observant lol. Turns out it just removed the word "Phone" that was next to the phone icon, I just never noticed the icon was off center till the word was no longer there. This is an awesome mod to bad soon after flashing this I found a really awesome font, one awesome enough for me to want my icon text back lol. I had to flash my Nandroid back up to get the text back. Do you know if there is a way to make a metamorph to bring the text back instead of having to go this route?

Oops, that should not have happened, i.e. remove of the 'Phone' text. That is an accident on my part, as I have it removed, and it is in the same file. I thought I was working off a stock Rosie for this mod, but clearly I was not. Sorry about that. I will modify accordingly.
You can always grab the stock Rosie.apk out of the ROM zip file you originally downloaded and just push it back to your phone to undo this change.
So with this mod taking away the texts, is it possible to manipulate the size of the icons as well??

My first Android App!

Hi,
This is my first Android app, NBLauncher. It's a simple app that let you add shortcuts to apps as buttons in the notification bar (expanded view), so you can quickly launch an app from anywhere (as long as you have access to the notification bar). I've seen similar apps on the Android market, but I haven't seen one that uses multiple buttons/apps on the same notification line. NBLauncher currently allows a maximum of 15 buttons (three lines of five). After installing, launch NBLauncher from app drawer to configure what apps you want to add to notification bar. Use the up/down arrows to rearrange the order of the buttons. Make sure to click "Done" when exiting. You'll then see the NBLauncher icon on the notification bar. Pull down the notification and you'll see the buttons to launch your app. It also saves the list of apps so you when reboot the phone, it auto-starts with your configured list.
Two minor things that I haven't figure out. Maybe you guys could help.
1. Each notification line requires it's own notification icon in the bar. So if there are three lines of buttons, there will be three separate icons. I have made only one visible and the others invisible, but I have no idea how to get rid of the invisible icons while keeping the notification. Any ideas?
2. During installation of the app, Android lists accessing phone book/contact as one of the things that the app does. But I am not touching the phone book or any contact info. How can this be? How does it determine what an app could do? Based on permission? This obviously has an negative effect of scaring people away from the app
Feed backs and suggestions are welcome. Thanks.
can you give us a little screenshots before we give it a go?..
Nice, I like it, much better then App Launcher, which costs $2 right now.
I couldn't find it in the Market though, did you pull it?
Only complaint so far is that it doesn't play well with lcd density changes. I'm set at 161, so the UI is a little cramped when setting up, but the launcher in the notification tray scales perfectly and looks good. There are several market apps that don't scale well with density changes, so it's not even that big of a deal. Spare Parts, MixZing, Mint.com, and Shazam don't either, just to name a few.

Hmmmm this looks very interesting, i like how its horizontal buttons as opposed to an ongoing item.....definately will try
downloaded and it opens and adds apps to the ongoing just fine...however if i click on a button, nothing launches, it just closes my notification menu

If minSdkVersion is not set in AndroidManifest.xml, it assumes a minimum version of 1. In the SDK version 4(ish?), a few new permissions were added, so if minSdkVersion is below that, those permissions are included whether you need them or not. Read Phone State was among these.
TopShelf10,
I only tested the app on Droid X (my phone) and Evo 4G. Haven't test it on Samsung Galaxy series yet. I noticed button events in the notification view behave differently on Droid X and Evo 4G, so I had to code around it. I guess it's different again on the Galaxy phones. I'll need to get my hands on a Galaxy phone

Sure. As long as you site the source and keep me updated on any findings so I can update my app accordingly.
To be more specific, I think the problem is how button events/intents are handled vs. default intent of the notification content view. I'll try to post some code when I get home.

it creates a condensed button layout (5 shortcut buttons per row/item slot) as opposed to cluttering your notification menu with several ongoing items (one slot per item)....plus it has a nice look to it

cool thanks for the info. getting it now
I think I am really going to like this app. Works great on my rooted Incredible. Any chance you could add an option to hide the icon in the Notification Bar?
Edit: Thought I would mention that I'm running a ROM using the EVO framework. So I couldn't tell ya if it'll work on a stock HTC Incredible.
Well this looks great, just installed it. It doesn't work though. I press on an app, it seems to highlight, then the notification bar just closes.... Any help?

I present to you my AOSP Honeycomb theme (**FROST**BITE**V1.0) for p6200 and p6200L (let me know if it work on any other)
I have had the day off college so i decided it was time to get to grips with my tab as we don't always see eye to eye. haha. iv modded what ever i could find in framework & system Ul. although it looks cool now just give me some time to work on this baby
what is themed?
well....
.system ul
.notification box with transparent backing
.power control themed gray
.lock screen
.clock
.settings icon (will theme setting ASAP in black)
.messaging icon (will theme message .apk ASAP)
.notification bar is now stock black with stock 3.0 soft keys in gray/white
.battery is themed but needs work sizing etc (I may add a circle mod hmmm..)
.signal bar ripped from XOOM stock 3.1 honeycomb ROM
.launcher is themed with stock honeycomb app key but still TW (i will add the option of a stock AOSP launcher.zip but you can not add widgets
to be continued.......
what is stock?......
well....
.camera is stock AOSP with stock icon.
.browsed is stock AOSP
.gallery is stock AOSP
.music is the latest AOSP version (sooo cool)
.clock widget is stock AOSP.
extras...
you will also get in the .zip....
asus weather widget
XOOM clock widget
movie studio XOOM
Toshiba media player
and a selection of stock honeycomb wallpapers
installation.
0.nandroid then check if you have a nandroid back up then check agen haha...
1. clear data on the following before install....Browser/ clock/ launcher (it just helps prevent issues and damn force closes)
2. make sure you are deodexed and rooted
3.place **FROST**BITE**V1.1.zip on to your external SD card navigate to choose zip for SD and flash....BANG!!!....your in **FROST**BITE**V1.0
thanks me or buy me a beer
Download here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8623715/FROST_BITE_V1.1 beta.zip
the setting will come in a update.zip also with the soft keys you see now
updates:
v1.1 beta:....uploading now
whats changed?...A) soft keys are more stock with matching screen capture and a very nice purple battery mod. you will also get AOSP stock setting with TW feel.
AOSP wallpapers are attached at the bottom to install but a faulty install in the .zip may mean you need to go to root explorer and uninstall the other one if it does not work let me know.
Disclaimer: i am not responsible if you brick your device under Google's open sauce licence. i will help you if you do something wrong but its not my fault.
if you do decide to blame me i will simply giggle at your expense haha then suggest ways for you to use your tab...drinks tray, diner mat, roofing slate...haha
Went a head and flashed your ROM on the T869 device (running deodexed rom). Screen cap below. It was charging at time of screen cap. I changed wallpaper immediately because the one the theme was very odd and very "zoomed in" looking.
I know this was not meant for this device...but its fun to try right?
Few things that don't look right.
-Lock screen orbit is a small square...that's it. You can still unlock though.
-Battery icon when device is not charging is off. It turns it into a gray spiral type icon.
-Get 3g icon instead of 4g (obvious reason why)
Again, not a problem report...just letting those know who want to play with the t869 device. I'm finding these themes are almost do-able on the T869.

thanks mate for you reply as you sed this is not for your device you were lucky not to soft brick it it only looks funny on your device as the framework files are quite different from the ones on your device so you have most probably entered a different file when it flashed hence the freaky wallpaper p.s. my new update it being uploaded in second so feel free to give it a go my friend its so much better that the older version and the battery looks cool to made it myself
i am planning on making some battery mod.zips with a big selection and next week after making this theme black i will defo start a new

In regards to me flashing this on T869 Device (which it was not made for)
I knew it wouldn't soft brick...been playing with the current themes offered and have flashed before. Most of the framework and system are similar enough it will boot every time...just may not look right on some things. Ive owned and flashed many android devices...so very comfortable with it.
Im in no way a dev...very wet behind the ears when it comes to theming. But the T869 device needs some love so im trying my best to learn how I can do just that...give it some love.
I greatly appreciate your work.

thank you very much im pleased with that.
what tools are you using to theme at this moment?
Just picked up a 6 core system last night to run Linux on. Probably try setting up the kitchen once I finish building the system.
Any tips you could help me with would be appreciated.

ohhh...cool man what possessor u using?
the best software to theme is something as simple as 7-zip for opening apks and PAINT.NET for coloring and re-sizing or Photoshop for high quality themeing
AMD Phenom II X6 3.3 GHz, 10g mem
I'm very fluent in Photoshop, so I will be using that for "theming". Very familiar with 7zip.

Appreciate the encouragement. I just need to do some reading and figure out all the details of doing theming.
My only thing im very unsure of yet is creating update.zips. Still have plenty of reading to do...

its very easy all you have to do is set up the kitchen you require and select the option fill in the information you want to show in the recovery log add change log and fill with apks etc... haha but you do have to write the paths out e.g. if you want something going in to system, app make a system folder and put app folder in to that one then place your required file in to it and it will pop it in their when flashed. A very easy cheats way is to copy someones META-INF file and place it in to a .zip then fill in your paths described above easy!....when you get going

Note: The toggle switches have been slightly rearranged per my preferences. If you would prefer do have a different order, post reply below.
Please note that there are different versions for stock and for beans rom. Beans are marked accordingly. However,the launcher you are using does not matter.

ICS Blue Mod EDIT: Ghosting should be fixed now
I will not be accepting custom requests for the ICS Blue series due to the number of files involved. I apologize for the inconvenience. I wasn't expecting such a huge amount of traffic and requests coming in. Thanks for being a great and active community. I will work to develop a solution with which to allow customized versions of it in the near future. I might create an ICS blue version for the second most popular toggle configuration based on dl count. Most likely one with MobileData in the first section.
The current configuration is as follows:
-Toggle Order: BT/Wifi/GPS/Orientation/Sound/PowerSave/Airplane/DrivingMode/MobileData/Sync
-All Toggles are themed blue
-Battery Icon is themed blue
EDIT: GREEN BEANS IS FIXED!! (no really, it is this time. tested + confirmed)
Both stock and beans versions are available. See attached
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To-Do List (bean support where noted) REQUESTS ARE NOW CLOSED (SEE EXPLANATION BELOW)
-kill gps crosshairs (multiple requests) See here for progress
-stock with wifi instead of screen rotation (stam2000) [In Progress]
-wifi/sound/mobiledata/screenrotate/airplane/powersave (cvballa3g0) [In Progress]
-remove "battery is full" notification (revolt1) See here for progress
-color date ICS blue (Schaweet)
-AntiToggle w/ ICS Blue battery (aatrek)
-Wifi/BT/GPS/Airplane/Orientation/Sound/DrivingMode/MobileData/Sync (Zoandroid)
-No Animation (MAD Industries)
if you are on this list and you are using the bean rom and the entry is not marked for bean, please send me a PM so I can correct it
CLOSED: Because I need to develop a system to more quickly and dynamically generate these files. This will allow a greater level of support as well as personalization. The tradeoff is time. I will have to devote a certain amount of time to this project instead of the requests once I am through with the current list. Rest assured if you are on the list right now, you have priority. Thank you for all the positive feedback this thread has gained. It's had much more impact than I could have imagined.

Could you possibly explain which xml files and which parts of those files to edit in order to get rid of certain toggles? I only want 5 total toggles on there and am just now learning how to edit this stuff.
WOW thanks a lot this is great! Can you post a Screen shot?
Any chance you can make one with just GPS, WiFi, Mobile Data, Airplane Mode, Bluetooth? in that order? Im on VZW btw

Sure. You will want to decompile /system/app/SystemUI.apk using apktool. (dont forget to apktool if framework-res.apk so you dont get decompile errors, also make a backup of SystemUI.apk) Then go to /SystemUI/res/values/arrays.xml and you will find a quicksettings array. That will list both the order and type of toggles. You just add/remove/move the lines around.
EDIT: Also, you cant just recompile and push to phone. You must recompile and pull the resources.arsc out of the new apk and then slip that into the original apk file that you pulled.
If you need more specific help, join me on freenode. #verizons3

Tried the new version and it worked. I love it when developers help us put the phone in a condition that the manufacturer intended and not the way Verizon wants it. Thank you.

Pretty sure one must be deodex to use this.

That is a significantly more amount of work. This is just a quick hack. That doesn't mean it wont be done though. I'll look into it. That's usually the sort of thing to include with a rom.

Yes, I updated the OP with an option for stock. Also, can you confirm this is now working? (just making sure)
Dumb noob question
What does "flash with recovery" mean?
If I already have a rooted phone, can I just rename the existing SystemUI.apk and copy this one into its directory with Root Explorer?

Messaging app doesn't show unread count

I just got my Verizon HTC One M8, and I noticed the messaging icon on my home screen doesn't show an unread count. The mail icon does, and the messaging icon on my DNA (running Sense 5.5) did too. Is this normal behavior, or has something gone wrong? Thanks!
I don't think there is an unread counter for messages, you could always use a custom launcher like nova and get them though
That's weird that they would remove that since it was in the last version of Sense! Also, the mail icon shows unread emails too! SMH!

Try removing messages from your dock and re adding it. You should have the bubbles unless you are on a custom rom with them broken.

I tried removing and re-adding the icon and it didn't work. I'm on the stock Rom, s-off, unlocked and rooted. I thought I was crazy, so I looked at my wife's DNA and she definitely gets the little green bubble with the unread message count. Just to be sure, you're verifying that you have an M8 and that you get the unread count on your messaging icon? Thanks!

No didn't touch VVM, just froze Verizon bloat like VZ Navigator, VZ Cloud, VZ Tones, etc. Nothing that should effect messages.
I'm actually surprised to see you have the unread notification! I just spent an hour Googling around, and I see a few people saying that they only get the notification on the email app.
The guy I work with has a One M8 as well, and he has the unread messages notification bubble!! I tried unfreezing the stuff I had frozen, and that didn't work. I changed my theme back to the default theme, didn't work either! Anyone have any other ideas that I should try? Thanks!!
I get them on CleanROM.

Unfreeze until they return. Bet it's tied to Verizon visual voicemail.
I found out that the culprit was the extended power saver mod. It replaces the Messages.apk with one that is compatible with the mod, and then you lose the notification bubble. I replaced the APK with my original Messages.apk and the bubble returned but now I can't launch messages from the extended power saver launcher.

So here's the thing.... that's probably an international phone based mod you flashed. The extended power option mod can be done and bubbles still be present. The intl phones don't have vvm... and even just swapping their MMS app for ours ends with missing bubbles on our (VZW) phones.

According to another post I saw, you are correct. An XML file can be edited as well as a smali file, and then you get both the extreme power saver setting as well as the notification bubble. I just wish someone would put them both together and release it!!

Awesome!! I can now launch messages while in extreme power saver mode! Let me ask you this...I reverted my messages.apk back to the original version to get the notification bubble back, which broke the ability to launch it during extreme power saver mode. Your apk fixed my ability to launch messages, and I still have the bubble! However, I just noticed that MMS is limited to 300K. Is that because of the messages.apk I'm using? Can I go back to the messages.apk included with the extreme power saver mod and still keep the notification bubble? And will my max MMS size go back to 1200K? Thanks a bunch man, I really appreciate your work and your help!!

It is not because of the messages.apk file. Your /system/customize/MMS/default.xml got tampered with the mod that you flashed. You need to re-flash the current rom your on again or if you made a restore?
