HI,
Very new to LG Gq D800 model and have a couple of questions. Phone is updated to lollipop and is currently on T-mobile sim. I have two questions:
1. The ringer and notification volumes are so low. Any way to increase them. I saw the mod for earlier android version but nothing for Lollipop. Anyone find a fix?
2. The stock Home launcher looks awesome but my eyes are hurting looking at those icon sizes. The text size on the phone seems fine (eg. messaging app is ok), but the home page icons and their titles are just too small to make out and hurts my eyes. Tried messing with DPI settings but doesnt seem to change those icon title size. Also tried changing text setting to Large font with no joy. Any pointers on what to change? My phone is rooted.
Thanks so much.

Recently purchased a (used) HTC Inspire, looks like running Android 2.3.3.
Apparently, the previous user had changed the Notification sound specifically within Messaging, and so when I change the general System Notification sound, the sound within Messaging doesn't change with it.
Is there a simple way to return the Notification within Messaging back to Default (so it responds to/with changes to the main System Notification)?
Thanks in advance.
Bump, I was going to post about the same thing but it seems there's already a post, I might as well bump it to get someone to answer.
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.
Hey
At first I'm sorry fom my english.
So I installed new rom to my xperia from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45739055&postcount=16
It's ROM tested on exact phone. But after installing I found 2 problems.
1. I can't change resolution/quality on camera.. Settings button is changed to something else..like when I hold home button. And there is no software button to settings on camera. And photos are in really bad quality..maybe 2-3Mpix
2. Everything is too small. Icons, text and stuff. I can read normal text but eg. walkman widget is unreadable. Same with lock screen. I already changed text size to max.
Tkank you for help.
Lollipop seems a little quicker and better battery life.
However it seems to me the developers have changed many things just for the sake of it, and many of those old good things are now worse. Many require a lot more clicks to do the same job.
For example, the pull down status bar quick settings isnt as good and isnt customisable like it used to be. and many features are no longer intuitive to open or access them.
Changing txt size in messaging simply by using volume up or down was convienient.
The camera is not as easy to use. Beforehand the video and the photo button were on the main camera screen so you could instantly select one or the other to quickly take a photo or a video. Now you must swipe the screen and then select the video or the camera option and then when the screen refreshes you can then click the button to start recording to take the photo. That can litterally add 5 seconds to the time it takes to get a video going plus you need to concentrate on the camera screen to get the process correct, so you are late capturing the action and cant watch what was going on with whatever it was you wanted to video or take a shot of.
The camera settings are not as customisable as it used to be either and currently you cant even select to store in the external sd card
Phoning and txting is not as easy or simple as it used to be. Eg, in "recents" you used to be able to swipe right to call a contact and swipe left to text. Now to call you tap on them. then have to tap it again to select to call them. And if you want to text you need to tap on the icon next to the name or number and it opens the contact, then you need to select the message icon to txt them. Friggen stupid!
What else am I missing here??? Im probably being a bit picky... but why make it worse!

Lolipop Touchwiz or Stock Android ?
I think u r talking about Touchwiz am i right?
If that's the case.
They actually improved performance. (because of art actually) i also actually like the design of Lolipop touchwiz, making it more lively. but it depends on the people. i dont really care about the old setting. i only care battery and performance.
as i am a 9505 user, i cannot really tell the difference between 4.4.2 KK and 5.0.1 Lollipop Touchwiz as i only tested the LEAK version of it.
I think he's talking about GPE roms. As I'm sure that touchwiz lollipop ui looks a lot like kitkat ui of the s5.
If you do a google image search for touchwiz lollipop you will see that there isn't much difference in the ui except for the looks and a few small aditions.
The OnePlus One camera app, that comes as a choice when you install Danvdh's GPE rom, has the photo and video button on the main screen. Also has the option to change save location.
The CM messenger app, that also comes as a choice in Danvdh's GPE rom and comes stock on CM roms, has the ability to pinch zoom in or out.
I don't know how the kitkat GPE roms were.
But I agree with some of what he said. Activating mobile data isn't as simple as pulling down the status bar and tapping on the icon. Now you have to pull it down, tap the icon and then tap the small dot to turn it on.
And when you restrict background there is a stupid persistent notification. So you'll have to restrict background data on a per app basis to not have that notification. This is not really convenient.
Then the battery saver mode turns the status bar orange. Why would it do that? There is another stupid persistent notification telling me that battery saver is on. I don't need a orange status bar. And I doubt that orange is more battery friendly than black.

Well i couldn't swipe from the right to make phone calls or swipe left to text someone in recents.... (Or i just didn't noticed it....which also i know that feature is in touchwiz)
But the thing is that KK was more easier to use specially on GpE or CM based roms, and a lot faster specially carbon rom. (That's for me) and save more battery because of the Holo Dark theme.
But as i said. I like the Design of lolipop, so i'm going to stick with it. I'm on Cm12 right now where i dont need to press Twice on the wifi to turn it on,just the icon. But data turning is the same.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app
So i have been modding my phone for a month now and have found several bugs that make thinks kind of difficult. I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace 3 (GT-S7275R) and installed the Cyanogen 12.1 mod and latest kernel from Kotzir. The problem is when i get a notification in the drop down menu, it overlaps with the menu and the other notifications. I understand that the transparent theme may cause this "trick" of hiding the notification behind a menu may cause it to appear behind it, but it should scroll with the menu anyways. And besides that, in the notification area the notifications overlap as well. The standard music app even has 2 notifications overlap itself. So i think there is something wrong with the grid of the notifications? Some counter that's stuck or something? Other than that, the phone is really stable and battery life has extended by 150% so i am happy, but i don't like to have to manually open every app to see what is going on, even more so if you can only open it by the notification like USB settings and such.
(i would like to post pictures but since i am new here i have to make 10 post before i can. i will as soon as i can, sorry for that)
Thanks in advance
Nevermind
This from can be closed, i moved over to android 6.0 CM13. It doesn't have the problem.
However a bit more information for other people who want to stay at the CM12.1:
1: The problem seemed to happen whenever more then one app had a notification. Just one app after a fresh reboot didn't cause anything.
2: If you pressed where the icons should be, you would still select it. This means it was just rendered wrong. This would mean the grid is fine, but there is a bugg in drawing the notifications properly.
3: Sometimes the menu would freeze and the animation would hang but the menu would still be pushed upwards when swiped up. The menu would freeze causing you to only see a stripe with a half gear and the other icons but just at the top.
4: The clock becomes visible after turning the screen 90 degrees either way.
5: Restarting the GUI via the settings menu should solve the problem. The icons still work just image swiping down with your eyes closed. swipe all the way down and press the gear icon to open settings.
Thanks to the admin who placed it to the correct category anyways.
have a nice day everyone ^^
