Random name on lockscreen [SOLVED] - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

In settings>lock screen an security I have always on display and notifications turned off. All of the sudden I'm seeing a random name on my lock screen, any ideas?

Bump, this was a brand new phone from day one. How does a random name end up on the lock screen?

Not sure what you mean. I'm stock and using a theme from the Samsung Theme Store. I am using a couple of apk's from here.

4.0.4 LRK Yellow Theme

Hi
Just thought I might share with anyone on a LRK rom a yellow theme I have. I made this for ClassicRom but should work fine on any LRK rom and possibly 4.0.4. There are some issues with LR6 with wrong text displayed but all good on LRK but haven't tested on previous 4.0.4 roms.
I used some images from this theme here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1618692&highlight=emily which was made for a charity cause so check it out.
Link
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B74yQ4mwfAnDUm1RMWx0QnpwTUE
APK's themed are
framework-res
twframework-res
criskelo-res
mms
contacts
jobmanager
systemui
Thanks to grgsiocl, criskelo, ruger94 and Johnsondr80, if forgotten anyone sorry.
The usual make a backup and flash at own risk
Hope you like and screens attached as well as an 8 toggle as it comes standard with 6
Edit: Fixed issues with clock fc when trying to set alarm, twframework causing the issue so redone the apk.
Fixed green alarm icon in status bar, now yellow
Fixed some framework-res issues
Looks good thanks, one little thing my alarm icon is green is there a fix for that? Looks out of place with everything else yellow.
Oh and my clock keeps force closing, am unable to set an alarm.

Ok, thanks for the feedback, I don't use the clock so didn't know that was happening. Icon is easy to fix, but will have to have a look into what happened to the pngs in the framework for the clock. Hopefully I'll be able to sort it out today some time and get the fix up.
Thanks, I really liked the theme but had to back to a blue one as I needed the alarms but will be trying it again if you can fix it.

No shouldn't need to wipe. Two things I can think of is check your system space in a root explorer sometimes files wont flash if pretty much no space available. So just check system/app to see what's left. If have free space could of just been a bad flash or download.

[Q] Does this HAM7 have lockscreen notifications built in?

Hey guys, Just wanted to ask a quick question about if the HAM7 has a default built in notification system for the lock screen. I have done many searches on xda and the web and couldn't find any info on this. Anyone care to help me out? Really interested in buying this phone but this was one of the things I was most curious about. I know there are other options like dash clock widget and other 3rd party apps, but I don't even know if widgets are available on the lock screen either! Help me out!
Thanks!
Hi turbo, yeah it does.
Awesome thanks!! Any chance someone could show a screen shot of what it looks like? I have the nexus 5 right now and the lollipop lock screen notifications are functional but not the most elegent of design. Any captures of what a text or email notification on lock screen would be so appreciated!
Thanks!

Are you sure we're all talking about the same thing? I think the OP means notifications in the style of the new Lollipop. Not every phone has these, they're not standard in Android up until 4.4 afaik, and have only been introduced for stock Android in 5.0.
Again, I'm not talking about the icons in the status bar, but about banners on the lock screen.
@vonotny - You're exactly right! I didn't get true lock screen notifications until Lollipop on my Nexus 5. The model I do plan on getting is the L09 and I assume this does not have the lockscreen notifications? This is kind of a bummer... does AC Display work?

Okay, now I get it. And you can set lockscreen notifications for WhatsApp and Facebook. But you don't get all notifications on the lockscreen, which is what you'll need something like NILS for.

What is NILS ?
Notifications on lock screen, it's a good app, but imho defeats the purpose of a lock screen if people can read notifications on top of a lock screen. It works well though.

Aha, my friend, it seems there is after all something I can teach you
This is NILS: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roymam.android.notificationswidget
Shows you notifications banners of ALL app notifications either on the lock screen or as a home screen widget. Very handy, especially if you have your lock screen protected and can't swipe down the notification bar. It's like the lock screen notifs in iOS and Android L, has been around for a couple of years (since JB, I think).

Help: some Quick Toggles disappeared

This is odd!! I am rooted on the stock ROM (OC3). I used to have a quick toggle for Mobile Hotspot and some others (not sure what else is missing) and now i do not!?!
when i click the pencil to edit them, they are not there?!
I have not flashed anything other than the material dark theme (here)...but from what i can remember, I still had them after that.
any thoughts? how can i add the Mobile hotspot toggle back?
Thanks!!!!

You need a sqlite editor to edit your com.android.providers.settings database which is found on your root folder under data/data. I enabled 30 toggles on mine by first using this enclosed app. The problem is, it names the flashlight toggle incorrectly so the flashlight was gone. I had to go in and rename it back. I could try and do the same for you if you like.
Awesome!! this worked perfect!!! thanks!!!
can you post what the correct flashlight text is? i have SQL and can edit no problem.
thanks!
i found your post here. Worked perfectly!!!
Thanks!
Quick note: I had to add TorchLight to both the notification toggle DBs to get it to work.

They are all different. On my OC3 rom, it added a whole new item all the way at the bottom. The two at the top had no affect whatsoever. Also, in that same database you can change the top scrollable icons to include all, not just 10.

Same database where you changed TorchLight. There will be a category called notification_panel_active_number_of_apps. Change it from 10 to however many toggles you have, 30 or 31.

The only bug (or is it a feature?) I found till now is the color of the navbar. It's now white (don't like it). Found no way to change it back as before (black background with white symbols) Tried it with the xpreia launcher and the nova launcher.

Did you get a white navbar too?
I think the white navbar icon with white background is not a bug, when you're doing something with your phone and you're not touching the navbar area, the icons in the navbar will fade to an off-white colour. But when you're doing something that involves even just touching the blank parts of the navbar area, the icons will show their true colours.
The real bug is actually the navbar icons are way too close to each other.

I don't think it's a bug, my navbar changes color depending on app. It does go white on Spotify which is all black so it looks bad, but on other apps it does change to black like messages, Twitter or anytime I use the keyboard. I'm guessing the app picks the color unless the app isn't updated so it defaults to white.

I don't know for sure, I read it on reddit.
I think I found a bug, when adjusting the incoming call volume in audio settings it plays the alarm sound and when adjusting the notification volume it plays the call sound. The correct sound plays when actually receiving a call

Niceone sony. I think they are the 1st to release pie this year.
and crap, as usual my system update OTA is broken and fails to install on my H8296.
wonder if flashing a different region's firmware (initially went from Taiwan to India because the TW/HK updates are weeks behind) killed the mechanism. currently on DE and it hasn't made any difference for OTA. On to XperiFirm... Bother.

Just tried with System UI tuner app but it's not that.
You may go to Settings -> Screen -> Statusbar icon manager (or something like that) and disable items on by one. If it is a system icon it will disappear after disabling an item. If not you should look for an installed app.
BTW, where did you get that nice background image?
