Is it possible to remove carrier logo from notification bar? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

It's driving me crazy! Remember I was able to get rid of that either on my Moto X or OnePlus, but can't find an option in the GS7. Apologies if it's already been addressed, link would be appreciated!

ATT, I hate you for putting your stupid logo on top left of my phone. You suck and are beyond annoying. I know what service I have, I put the sim card in the phone myself and pay the bill every month, why do you insist on taking up room in my notification bar... UGHGUGHGUGHF**FCKKS

Open Samsung app store and search for good lock, then install/update.

Thanks, trying it out now, ATT is gone, but it also changed other things about the phone I can't say I like. The purple and the lock screen changes...

Color and other stuff can be customized. Open good lock and you can find the settings.

Thanks. Guess I just don't understand the whole routine thing and this app is changing and adding more things than desired. It did remove the ATT logo.

Appreciate you trying.
It's amazing how such a small thing can annoy so much. They got so much right with this phone, I want to say it's the best phone I've ever had. But then I turn it on to check a text message and that stupid logo is there. I can't be the only one who's frustrated with it. Oh well...

Can't seem to remove my gf 3 logo from her gs7 edge. This app didn't work for us. She doesn't want me to root it, as its still in contract, i have read on another thread that you just delete the bootanimation.zip in media file. But i can't find it? Any help with this (without roooting) would be welcome.

Its ok, i now know how to get rid of the carrier logo without rooting. For anyone else wondering with a Samsung phone, Just flash the latest stock non carrier. firmware with odin, Once flashed, boot firmware then boot recovery (home, vol up and power) and do a factory reset, which will debrand completely.
This is what i have read in another thread. If there is a different/better/updated way of doing this, then please let us know.
Tnk.

Dutty Rom Settings Bug

when you click 'menu' in the settings section, it used to take me to a screen where i could adjust menu bar colors and other menu related options, similar to full version windows. however now, when i click 'menu' which has the same icon the old program did, its actually takes me into 'start menu' options. did he move the other 'menu' , top car color options somewhere else??? or is it just a bug. is there possibly a fix...couldnt find anything in thr 170 page thread
no disrespect, dutty is god of all that is mobile
bump for the fix

if you meant ...
Start -->> Settings -->> personal tab -->>Menus
it has always been about what items (7) you want on the start menu !!
That has always been like that default !!!
you must have been thinking of something else regarding the menu bar colors and other menu related options ...etc

Why would you create a new thread for a Rom that already has a thread?!?
Now that you have created this thread...which Rom are you refering to?!?
If after 170 pages, you didn't find a resolution for your issue...it probably doesn't exist...hence the term "User Error"
You've been around long enough to know better
Please don't take this as a flame, but why open a new thread. Post your question in the existing thread and I almost guarantee it will be answered.

you were kinda vague... if you want them to be black in all the programs... run the exe file... it you want to make them blue or any other color... run the cab for ui tweaker... run the program... and play with it... it has a lot of options including changing just the bar

Looks interesting. Make one with an Android mascot and maybe I would flash it I'm assuming to do that you are modifying the images in the HtcLockscreen.apk file or one of the frameworks files?
Definitely interested here. Same as above though...I assume the background could be changed via standard method built into the phone?

ooo good call, i 2nd that request!
Man... I Like better its crazy hot.... it would be awsome with the Android mascot
I suggest you zip and release them as-is, and tell folks how to change the image themselves
Personally I really dig the last one, and would use it.
I concur with the above -- I've been looking for a good lockscreen replacement, and yours with the Android mascot instead of the lock would be absolutely amazing (especially the last one)
I like the 2nd one in the pic ... one with clock over the lock ... can we erase that SPRINT ... haha
how about small android on the bottom of the lockscreen remove time and put iwhat? on top of his head ala someones avatar

Actually I think you can remove the sprint. Edit your build.prop. shouldn't break anything but I never tried.

[Q] Strange display size in [CM10.1 AOSP 4.2.1 Jellybean]

Hi all, I'm new in this forum...but i follow it from a long time.
Now, I've a question about last "CM10.1 AOSP 4.2.1 Jellybean"; as you can se in the attached image I have some problem in the display size of my Sensation.
It leaves too much span on the top and on the bottom of icon's space, and I don't know how to solve this problem (for example you can see that the play music widget is cut in the lower part).
Thanks a lot.

Ok, I've tried this way...but unfortunately not works!
From the First post in the CM0.1 thread, near the bottom:
If your homescreen doesnt look right (icons not layed out right) go to System Settings>Launcher>homescreen click Stretch screens. Then choose grid size and set row
This fixed it for me.

I've already done this trick...but doesen't work. It's a pity because this rom works better than others on my phone.
Have you tried to put some widget on the bottom of the screen too? Can you see it correctly?
Hi,
Have you tried a different launcher?
I use Lightning Launcher,and I can stretch my icons to whatever size I want.

I've used Go Louncher but it makes the phone a bit slowlier.
The only reason of my question is that in the rom's screenshots the icons' position is correct.
Try Nova Launcher
Settings > Launcher > Homescreens
Try changing the size of the grid and check the option "Stretch screens"

Press and hold the widgets to resize them.
It is possible to allocate more area to the widget.
This is just how the launcher works; if you don't like it, you should switch to a different one.
It's not fair to ask the developer to recode the app just because it doesn't work well for you.

I'm sure you could have done it without factory reset. But anyway if you didn't had the patient/time there you go. [emoji3]

[Tutorial][8.0+] How to Install Good Lock 2018

Hi
If you're a XDA's regular visitor, you have already known that Samsung released GOOD LOCK app again and this time for OREO only. If not, head over to the XDA feature portal here:
Samsung is bringing back Good Lock, the UI customization app
​https://www.xda-developers.com/samsung-bringing-back-good-lock/As it is stated in post this release is region specific only. Luckily I've figured out a way by which every Oreo Samsung user can install and use this to modify some system UI tweaks. So let's start.
Download the .zip file from here, extract it and install all apps one by one. Some apps(edge lightning etc) show icons on launcher. Open them and go through them you'll learn how to use them to tweaks SystemUI.
For apps that don't show icons, Download and install Activity Manager app from Play Store.
Now Launch it and search for the apps you installed along with good lock like quickstar, lockstar task changer etc
Upon finding app, just lauch 1st activity and you'll be brought right to that app's setting page.
Modify it as you like and you're done.

Thanks for a great contribution.
Thanks for the files works great!
Hey guys, does somebody know why my clock disappears on lockscreen whenever I use Lockstar? I'm on RenovateICE and every apk is working fine except Lockstar that for some reasons doesn't want to make the clock appear. I tried to check on the RICE settings if there was anything to hide etc but everything is disabled/stock. Any advice?

I tried every single possible thing so far that I could come up with, but I got no results. It's a bit sad though, the apk is so great that it would be a shame to lose it!

Because there is no plus symbol

Cool
I was able to install Good Lock through The Galaxy App store. The apps work as they should, no issues.
Thanks !

I can confirm it's the dpi. Reverting it back to 360 makes Lockstar work again.
Sad, won't keep my phone at a crap dpi just for a lockscreen!
