Relevant if you're in the UK and bought your phone from O2, not sure where else you might find this useful.
I spent a couple of days trying to figure out how to get rid of the "O2 - UK" taking up space in my status bar, since there's no toggle for it. Eventually found a way that turned out to be pretty easy since I already had my bootloader unlocked and LSPosed installed. GravityBox has an "advanced tuning" section, and under "system UI" in there, you'll find a "config_showOperatorNameInStatusBar" option - override this value with "false" and reboot.

Is there anyway to change/remove the Verizon Wireless text on the Sense 2.1 lock screen?? I've been searching the XML's and still have come up with a blank.
I've been able to find the status bar pulldown text to change just not the lockscreen.
In earlier phones, it was in eri.xml. But, with 4G, it's probably pulled from the UICC ("SIM"), which contains a "CDMA Home Service Provider Name" file. So, it's probably not just a matter of finding and changing a string somewhere. I suspect you'd have to dig into the code to find where it's written to the display, and make changes there.
Sorry if this has already been asked and answered (i did a search...didn't find anything), but is there anyway to shortcut directly to the items in the "ASUS customized setting" section of the device settings?
Basically, i want to turn off the ASUS Quick Setting menu and revert to the standard ICS notification panel. However, i don't want to lose the quick access to the performance mode and Super IPS+ toggles. so far, i've had no luck getting those toggles into something like Widgetsoid...anyone have any ideas? where does ASUS hide those?
Thanks!
Dear All,
I am having an odd issue with the time in the notification bar that I cannot seem to fathom. The thing is that my Beautiful Widgets' clock will always show the correct time and as I have the notification bar hidden I generally do not notice that it is incorrect for a while.
When I head into the settings, under the 'Set Time' row it does have the correct time and pushing this does seem to fix the notification bar. Additionally, whilst I usually have the 'Use Network Provider Time' option, when I turn this option off I still get time issues. There is no particular pattern to the error either; the clock doesn't stop, it just leaps to an incorrect time (with incorrect minutes - it does not seem to be a time zone issue). I am worried that one day my alarm won't go off and I shall miss work!
I should also say that I am currently running AOKP M6 on my S3 and I am using the default kernel packaged with AOKP M6. This has been installed for a while and does not seem to contribute to the problem.
(I did see that someone has posted a similar problem today but in the 'Xperia Mini & Mini Pro & Active General' - I assume these are not related, but it is the same problem)
Many thanks for any advice
This is killing me, and given the original thread is labeled "Lollipop", I thought i would start a more relevant thread subject so people can find it. The problem is in the new Samsung UI 2.1 update re-enables pop-up notifications, and the old method below doesn't "fix them" like it has since Lollipop. Here is the link with details to the original thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/howto-4-to-disable-heads-notifications-t3197660
My hopes are that someone knows how to disable these in UI 2.1. They just kill me when I am trying to type messages and a window keeps popping up over my work with incoming messages. Stupid and so GD iOS'ish it's ridiculous!! The answer before UI 2.1 was the simple command "adb shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 0" which Samsung must have changed the control variable. I am really hoping someone technical can tell us the new way to disable these annoying pop-ups again which we've been able to do so since Galaxy S5!
I've been asked by a lot of friends on how to disable those notifications which pop up on the top of your phone's screen. They are mistakenly called "pop-up notifications", but their real name is Heads-Up notifications and can be really useful, but sometimes they are extremely annoying. Specially if you need to use a button or something that is located on the top of the screen right when the notification appears. Some ROMs do allow to turn them off in the Settings, but most of them don't.
So in this thread (which is my first here on XDA) I'm gonna put all the info I gathered during my research about disabling the Heads-Up notifications. These methods will COMPLETELY disable them for all applications while MAINTAINING regular notifications in the status bar. All of these methods are free. Some require a rooted device and some don't.
1- ADB method (using your computer) [FREE]
Before trying this method, make sure you have installed Android ADB in your computer, that your phone is connected AND that you have "USB debugging" option enabled in the phone Settings.
If you don't have Android ADB, you can download it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=48915118. If you have any questions concerning ADB and how to use it, take a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2225405
a) Open a terminal and check if the device is connected using the following command:
Code:
adb devices
b) You should see your phone on the list that appears. Now use the following command:
Code:
adb shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 0
c) Reboot your phone.
d) Done!

It looks like this is now available in the app and the adb hack isn't needed any longer. It would still be nice to apply a global default with this hack rather than changing each app individually. It's there, under "Message notifications" and is called "Show as Pop-up".

Yeah! There's the option to change it.
For example on the Samsung Message app:
Go to notification settings, tap in "General Notifications" (tap on the letters, don´t tap the toggle switch) and then you would find the option "Show as pop-up".
You have to do it individually for each app, in FB messenger and Whatsapp is a little different, but you would find "show as pop-up" by tapping in the letters in each option in the notification settings.
Hope this help!
This option to change it manually for individual app has been there since Android 9 in Samsung. But that's a pain! Every time you install a new app you have to disable it. The option to completely disable heads up notification would be nice for the One UI 2.1
Hi all,
for context: My grandparents (93) are happily using WhatsApp since a few years but using their tablets is becoming more difficult. They accidentally mess stuff up and don't find back without help. We locked all the settings (password protected with some 3rd party app) and removed most options from the quick settings (pull down menu) but we cannot get rid of the brightness slider. They frequently change the brightness to 0 and can't bring it back up again. They are currently using an Acepad A121 for which there seem to be no rooting possibilities; we would buy a new device if it helps.
Do you have any ideas or resources for this scenario? I found was a site by "konnekt" but that isn't helpful (good advice but nothing about brightness). I also read that it should be possible with GravityBox but I am not sure what device I need for that.
Best

It is possible with gravitybox. The device needs to be able to be unlocked and have a root method. (You want to aim for a device with a twrp recovery and a Magisk root method) With Magisk you can install EdExposed and with EdExposed you can install gravitybox, there you can disable the brightness slider.
Remove Brightness Slider
Steps on gravitybox.
Launch the GravityBox application
Tap the Statusbar Tweaks option toward the top
Tap the QuickSettings Management option
Enable the Master Switch and reboot (if you haven’t already)
Scroll down the page of this QuickSettings Management section
Then toggle on the Hide Brightness Slider option toward the bottom.

Thanks! I'll just look for a tablet on the TWRP Devices (twrp.com/Devices) list and it should probably work? Or do I have to check a Magisk or GravityBox compatibility list too?
