I thought I read somewhere that the 4.3 OTA was supposed to enable turning off the Power Saver notification (a complete waste of screen space) but that doesn't seem to be the case? Or am I missing something?

They moved it to the quick toggles.
You can turn Power Saver on and off in the Quick Toggles, but can't control the notification in the pull down. I want Power Saver on, but without the notification. If you go to "Power" under All Apps, there is a notification check box but it is grayed out.

He's trying to say that he does in fact want power saver to be on (which is just a press of the toggle), but while power saver is turned on, a notification appears in the status bar just like it used to. He doesn't want this notification.
Install this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jmzsoft.powersaverdisabler&hl=en
remove the icon from the notification bar with it, then uninstall the app, powersaver still runs but it wont show in the bar anymore
done
You can also do it yourself straight from terminal emulator
Code:

Yes you would need root, it would be a simple matter of rooting, running the app/command to remove the icon then unrooting however it just depends on how much effort you want to go through vs how much you hate that icon
personally I didn't mind the icon and learned to ignore it with 4.1.2 but now with 4.3 I decided to remove it. I'm not sure why they force it on us in the notification bar when its not really a "notification"

I actually hate that icon a lot! Almost as much as the big menu bar at the bottom of the screen, which thankfully is now gone. Rooting, removing and then unrooting is not a bad idea - I've rooted several devices, its not something I enjoy doing, but I can do it. I can't stay rooted thanks primarily to Time Warner Cable and their TWC TV app, that won't run with root without additional convoluted effort that doesn't always work.
My other alternative is to force close the notification manually ... given how infrequently I need to reboot the phone, I wouldn't have to do this all that often.

not the only one. Check and see if you can disable it by going in to settings -> apps -> All -> Power. I can't get rid of it sadly. :/
The only way to permanently remove it now is by rooting.
To temporarily remove it, you can ford close the "Power" app from the App info screen.
What i done was hold it down then stop app it's now gone but can use it in settings

If you are rooted, you need to either flash a ROM that has that option enabled, or install a mod (like this) to enable it.

For non-rooted (stock) phones, you can't remove it. You can bypass it by "Force closing" the Power app. But it will come back after a reboot or if your battery goes down to 14% & Power Saver turns on.
As for disabling it, I didn't try, but would expect that you will loose the "Power Saver" function & the options under Settings>Power. ("Power" will be completely gone).
the best way to disable the notification while keeping the power saving app running is to disable the notification receiver activity in the power app.
must have root access
1. install and open an app 'system tuner'
2. click system and wait until all of the apps are there
3. scroll down to 'Power'
4. tap power and then tap details
5. scroll down to "receivers"
6. untick "powersaver.PowerSaverNotificationReceiver"
7. reboot

I don't know about the Active, but on the regular S4 the LED light from the "hold volume up button" is noticeably dimmer than when you activate it with apps. I'm using the Notification Toggle app from the Play Store to put the LED toggle in the notification panel. It's nearly as convenient as using the volume button and it's brighter without any risk of accidental activation in your pocket.

Yea it does have that option, just not the volume up with the screen off. You have to hold the brightness slider icon in the notification panel to activate it.
Not to be a bother, but I notice it works on some peoples phones and not others. Is there a special thing that needs to be done to get the vol-up for torch working? I know how to get to the secret settings, and they're set for me. It doesn't light up for me . Any advice?

NottachXposed has both of those options. The volume up function is in the Lockscreen settings. You actually don't need Nottach to access it. It's just a convenient shortcut.

I think you need a deodexed ROM. Didn't work for me until I flashed the Mint Jelly ROM (which I recommend :good.

Alright, i'll give that a try. Not opposed to flashing roms, especially if they remove all this Samsung + ATT bloatware Thanks for your help.
Just an update.
I'm not sure if it was having a deodex rom, or just simply being on Android 4.2.2 (Might be the case). But my light is working now with screen off!
EDIT:
One more thing. Enabling this setting will create a wakelock that'll keep your phone at the lowest mhz you set it to instead of letting it go into deep sleep. It's a nice setting, but at the battery cost... it's something that isn't good enough for me yet. I have a profile setup in tasker for TelsaLED on with a shake on the locked homescreen to try my best and mimic this functionality (I was looking for something that starts up at boot, and flips the LED on from lockscreen). I know there's another flashlight that does this as well, but I ran into the problem of it not booting on startup, where as I use Tasker for other functionality so it starts up 100% of the time. It's not 100% since the LED takes a little to flip on... but it's better than having to unlock.
JUST an FYI to save people the feeling of underwhelming when it starts sapping your battery mercilessly!

thats absolutly not true, i use the feature on nottachs xposed app and my phone goes into DEEP SLEEP using ktz kernel,and there is another mod that u can use called 3 minit but you need framework but that has torch when the lock screen is on by pressing the home button,but i found i would have the light on by accident ,idk how but it would jsut be on with that mod.
3 minit work pretty well you can set it to long press home

I'm going to stick with what I think then. After I flip on the light.. it never goes back into deep sleep. Try it yourself. I'll take a look at 3 minit
FYI the wakelock it made was PhoneWindowManager.mTorchlightWakeLock
This is a feature in CM10.1. You can add it under lock screen options for long press home button. Absolutely love it.

I think your Android version needs to be 4.2.2 to do the torchlight thing through Nova. I could be wrong though.
Ok another update on this.
Since djmouse wasnt getting any sort of wakelock, I decided to try again getting it working. I enabled it through xposed instead of the nova shortcut.... and for some reason it's letting me go to deep sleep now! ... I also flashed crossbreeder... so that might be the savior. Not sure, but happy to report the wakelock seems to be lifted. I'll report back after a few days if it stays that way.
THanks djmouse for challenging me to try it again!
Using an app called Torchie, just press both 'volume buttons' together to turn on/off torch anytime. It runs as a background service and just works anytime, even when screen off (if enabled from Torchie Settings). It kinda make your phone feel like a conventional battery operated torch. No root required.

Is there a way to disable the notification that is always there in the drop down notification bar? I go to the settings and the option to disable it is greyed out. I don't want to remove it, because I like it how it is. But I really hate seeing it every time I pull down the notification bar. I tried following steps at http://teamdirt.me/showthread.php?126-Disable-Power-Saver_Notification but I guess I'm a noobie at decompiling. I used apk manager and it just gives me the files, not the code that the directions show. What do I need to do to do it properly? Thank you to anyone who reads this.
If you are on 4.3 it doesn't show up unless Enabled, if you are rooted and on 4.3 then you can use Disable Service to disable the notification service through that app. If on 4.1 then it shows when both Enabled AND Disabled so then you can use that same app if rooted to disable the Noti Service. Now, if you aren't rooted then all you need to do is go ahead and Force Stop the app through Settings but will have to Force Stop every time the Status of the Power Management changes. Going this route, same as with the rooted method, will still Power Management and Power Saver to run but not show the Noti Icon.
if you're rooted, we have a mod in our mod pack to remove it from notifications

You're welcome, I personally do not like installing modifications or modifying system apps due to the high risk of messing something else up but with that app it only disables that service instead of removing it which I am perfectly fine with.
First off, let me say that I am overall happy with how rooted 5.0 has been running. The battery life seems fine (at least better than the mess that 4.4.4 was for me), and the phone seems to be running smoother on the whole, though that may or may not just be placebo.
The one reason I was weary of updating was the loss of Xposed functionality. While this has mostly only led to a few minor annoyances (such as the inability to hide specific notifications and toasts), the most annoying loss I've noticed thus far has been the ability to disable the home button screen wake. Now, my phone once again is constantly woken up in my pocket. To avoid music skips and accidental calls, I have had to disable the phone shortcuts and lockscreen notifications. Ideally, I could just disable the screen waking action of the button and avoid a lockscreen altogether, but for now it mostly just adds a lot of unnecessary swiping to my day.
I wouldn't say I regret the upgrade, because the PROs seem to outweigh the CONs. What has your experience been?
I miss App Settings. Being able to set individual DPI for apps was amazing, since I like to use a 380 DPI, and that breaks the camera pretty hard and makes the phone app look pretty wonky.
Amplify was also amazing for my battery, as of right now, my phone battery is being eaten up by some android system process constantly holding a connection to something. I've already disabled a bunch of stuff, but I can't find this rogue app. Wakelock Detector is also not working, not sure if anyone else has this option.
Wanam Xposed was a huge help for fixing a lot of inconveniences with this phone, such as dialog boxes for everything like Airplane Mode and Data. Also, losing a Data notification toggle hurt, and I still wonder why it isn't default.
There is a way to disable home button wake through editing a system file with a root explorer. Google it, if you can't find it I will find the exact file and walk you through it.
Same thing with adding back the data toggle.

You can do it on stock, so likely all roms can?
