I don't think this is a default notification.
You can find all default notifications here http://eguides.sprint.com/support/e.../samsung_galaxy_s8_s8_plus_ug/status_bar.html
I think that the 'N' comes from a third-party app. Have you installed any apps lately?

I think he's talking about the icon hovering over his home button.

You shouldn't ask the same question in multiple places on the same forum.

It looks like the circle and X you drag chat heads to to remove them off the screen when you're using Facebook Messenger.

ADW Launcher

Ok so I don't know if this has been mentioned before and if it has I apologize. I searched and didn't find anything. So I am running CM6 and as you guys know it comes with ADW. So if you press and hold the launcher icon and swipe up and hides the tab along with the phone and broswer to the left and right. Then I dragged some icons down and to my surprise they stayed. To get the launcher icon back all you do is swipe down in te area and it pops back up. Thought it was kinda cool. You can also add more apps then what the screen width allows you too and they are scrollable. Here is what my screen look like right now.

Yeah you can also enable swipe up to open an app. I use it for the phone. Combine it with beautiful widgets home and you can tap time for clock, date opens calendar and you can set whatever you want. Also don't forget to backup your ads settings so if you flash another Rom your set

Lock Screen modification question

When browsing through some Themes I have noticed some ics lock screens look like they have about 5 different apps you can launch from the lockscreen. Is that mod a zip you can flash or or is it baked into certain ROMS or is it simply a setting I am missing? I am using CM9 right now and I see no option to add more apps to launch on the lock screen.
Here is what I mean. (Sorry about size I just grabbed it from the thread)

hey there
this option is implemented in some ROMS like codename android who lets you choose up to 8 targets(4 costumizable).
other than that you can use app because there are few locker apps that does exacly that.
you can use go locker free theme:

or the paid version :

please consider hitting the thanks button if it was useful
I would also recommend Go Lockker.
It has a lot of theming options.

Anyone know what this is?

A new icon has started popping up in the status bar on my SGS 6 (UK) since the recent update:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It only appears when I open Chrome, Flipboard or Facebook and is persistant for some time after the apps are closed (even if I kill the processes).
Can anyone shed some light on this please?

Yeap, WiFi calling.
I should have clarified that it happens when I am not on wifi as well. I also can't figure why it would be active in an app like Flipboard that is not in anyway a communication app.
Gonna clear and hard reset my device in case as this seems to me a little suspicious.
There is an option to turn it on or off in the notification center.
I dont have that option on my notification but it is the right icon so at least I know what it is.
Thanks for the advice guys 😀

[UX] How to get automatically rearranging home icons?

On iPhone, the home UX is pretty logical: when you delete or move an app, all the row of app moves to fill the empty space which is practical and clean.
On Android everytime you move or uninstall an app, it just becomes full of incoherent empty spot which means you have to manually rearrange each apps.
Is it possible or are there any plugins/mods so that app automatically rearrange themselves when moving or deleting an app not to leave an empty spot?
Thanks.
No one? An idea?
Probably not, Android doesn't use the home screen as an app tray by default.
You could try another launcher maybe. Something like one launcher may do it. Or another iPhone style launcher

Did you figure out how to do this?
Under the settings menu, click on Accounts & Sign in. Then select your Google account. Scroll down and toggle on the switch for Apps Only Mode.
Nice find! Going to try it on Hisense TV, my hope is to just have apps instead of all that noise.
