This will take the apps out of your app drawer, but unfortunately they are still on your device.

Wasn't criticizing you, Dude. Just stating that it is unfortunate that we can't completely remove the apps.

When I got a message or notification while my screen was off it would light up the screen automatically to show you the notification on the lock screen. Is there an android alternative?

go sms works perfectly as you described, and its my choice, but see what works best for you.

Honestly I looked into a few of those recommendations but I chose Tasker with the plug in Secure Settings.
Now I can choose to wake up my screen on any notification for a defined amount of time before it turns off automatically.
Tasker is a very powerful system app. So if you haven't tried it, I highly recommend it. It's a paid app ($6.95) but very worth it. If your skeptical go to the developer's website for a trial.

True, I've had multiple iPhones as well. I actually HATED that feature and I still don't like it on my note. It should come with a damn LED notification like 99% of every android phone.

Forgive me if this was already posted but I was playing around in the task manager and went to default tab and cleared the setting. After you do that go to your notification drop down and select setting and it will ask which settings program you want to use. Choose the one without the folder behind it.

I believe if you go into settings and hit the menu button, you will have the option to switch into list view. Also, there are two "settings" in your app drawer. One is for the tabs, one is for list.

I actually didn't know this could changed at all. Thanks to both of you. I personally prefer the list view.
Well, now that we're doing things the easy way, anyone know how to get the battery usage screen with the graph at the bottom that shows wifi on, awake, screen on, etc? I've only been able to see it when I get the low battery warning, which isn't very often with this phone.

My wife and I have the DNA stock. Her gps comes on on boot. I disabled the same apps on both phones. Setting for maps on both is the the same, so is location settings.
I cannot find what makes her DNA does it and mine does not.
any help will be appreciated.

Got it the other day. It was an update for Samsung apps from what I gathered from the playstore info.
here is the link for info:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sec.spp.push&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5zZWMuc3BwLnB1c2giXQ..
So is it possible it made my phone faster or am I imagining it you think?

Make sure that in the Settings for S Voice you disable the home button activating S Voice. Makes Home button response better.

Placebo. I actually got the notification for that update, realized that I forgot to freeze it, so I froze it. It's just bloatware.
Wish I could figure out why my home button has a slight delay sometimes. Closing all recent apps makes it go away.

Do you have the S-Voice mapped to your home button? If you push it twice then it opens S-Voice you do. Just disable it from the S-Voice options.

I wish Google Voice Search could be used with the home button instead of S voice. Seems to be a much better application.
Just like the title suggests, Im on rooted MK2 build and am looking to stay till root is achieved on kit kat. This prompt keeps popping up every couple minutes and i really hope there's a way to disable it...
Thanks
Usually if you long press on the notification you can uncheck the box for showing it. At least it shouldn't nag you anymore.
