So I have deeply searched and have found nothing worth using to date with my SP. I need the active display like app (like in Moto X) that flashes my screen whenever there's a notification with ONLY THOSE PIXELS illuminated that need the notification to show up!
But I dont want to install another ROM. will stick to the original for now.. . Is there any way I could get that?
Specifically need to be notified about whatsapp notifications

The above one is from what i see exactly the same active disolay but in app form

Well here is another question sorry if it has already bein answered. Well the other day while surfing the internet at the bottom of my screen in a box it said "screen captured" I don't know how I did it but I did. Well it created a new photo of what I was viewing and a folder for it. So has anyone heard of this?

Are you rooted and do you have ShootMe? ShootMe has an option to use the accelerometer (by shaking) to take a screen shot. You don't need to shake it very hard. It also has options to use the proximity sensor and noise (yelling at the phone).
With 2.3.3, there will be a built in screen shot tool, but that isn't even a twinkle in our eye yet.
Nope I don't have any screen capture apps and I am running froyo 2.2 from att stock non rooted. It really has confused me..

Hrm.. never heard of that happening unless you have downloaded an application that will take screenshots.
I would double check what apps you have installed. Also... I know a lot of the custom ROM's are starting to "harden" their builds against spam/ads/spyware etc..
Possible you will want to update your hosts files to block the crud on the internet. Unfort I don't know if their is an app in the market that does this or if you would just have to move to a custom ROM.
Keep us posted.
Well after doing some research I found this...http://getandroidstuff.com/how-to-take-screenshot-with-samsung-galaxy-s-with-no-root/ now I can't get it to work on my phone but maybe it will work on others and when I went to my running services I had one called "screencaptureservice" I may just be pushing the wrong buttons though any ideas?

Well.. this is a whole lot less scary.
The site states if your holding down the back button then press the home button it will take a screen cap.
I would just monitor how your using your phone and be careful when pressing your capacitive buttons. Could be it just recognized the command as you wanted to take a screen shot and you just fat-fingered it
Good info to have though - thanks for the tip.
***edit... btw I couldn't replicate this - but then I'm running a custom ROM. Anyone on stock 2.2 been able to repeat this?
Lol no problem hopefully it helps somebody though I still can't get it to work for me
Though I did just root my phone and I don't really need it seems iphoneish

Dear xda users,
I have quiet some time a problem getting notification message in whatsapp and hangouts (even in the previously version on Google talk).
When i clear all apps with Task Manager. Exit to home screen. meaning, Whatsapp is not running in the background, I get no pushed messages, no notifications. Nothing at all.
I then launch the app and get all my "missed" message ,then exit back to the home screen and now I see the messages and notifications.
The same thing happen when the screen is off,actually it seem it start there.
I have no limitation on the background apps,surf only with 3g and it is happen also with hangouts,it is started a few months back before google update her app,in the old Google talk also.
The most strange thing is when i launch a game,because it uses the internet when i exit from it and not clear my task manger it seems like whatsapp and hangout getting the message for day or two and there again nothing,maybe i imagine i really do not know
My phone model is i9305 with official Samsung Nordic Rom.
i used avast anti virus until couple days ago.
By the way whatsapp+ that i saw here recently could help me in any way?
I really appreciate your help. :good:
want to clear it one and for all to enjoy my phone.
Thanks in advance,
David
Hi David,
you kinda answered yourself, the problem is with the task manager. I suggest reading the following:
http://www.howtogeek.com/127388/htg-explains-why-you-shouldnt-use-a-task-killer-on-android/
Chris Hoffman can explain better than me
BTW it's also says directly on whatsapp that it will not work well with task managers.
Cheers
Dear eytan123,
Thank you for your replay,I want to clarify myself and tell you that i do not use any external task manger,but only the built in one in jellybean.
In addition even when i do not "clear" my ram it still no working,i also compare it to others galaxy 3-i9300&i9305 that use and clear the ram with the built in task manager and still not suffer from this Phenomenon.
I guess Samsung keeps this app because it lets inexperienced users(unlike you and myself, or for that matter anyone in XDA ) the feeling that they can upgrade their performance...anyhow - It's strongly suggested that you don't activate\use ANY task killer.
Why not trying the suggested method for a couple of days? I'm sure your results will be much better
Thanks again for trying to help,but i already try this couple of times before open this thread.
Unfortunately not a single method that i tried was useful to me.
like to hear if you have another idea
upp
bumping a thread more than once every 24 hours is against the rules. don't post until you read them
Just noticed you asked about the whatsapp+ - it's not supposed to make things any better, only customizations. And you said the problem persists at the new hangouts.
If you're certain that your internet connection(cellular of course) is working good, before I suggest wiping and re-flashing or trying another rom I suggestthat you use the following app(it increases battery usage in a VERY MINOR way):

Try clear data
Make sure sync is on

Hi,
Thanks eytan123 but this app that you gave me it is just for rooted phones,i do not want to root my phone in this moment,about the rom,it is the same problem that i experienced in my previous official rom.
Still glad to hear about this app for future notice
Thanks hello5629,if you mean to clear app data i already try this also
You wanna tell me that only my phone suffer this problem?
Just making sure - have you tried to uninstall and reinstall the apps ?
yep,several times..
Well I guess that leaves you with factory reset your phone.
But since your'e not rooted keep in mind you'll lose all your apps..
ya i know,i do not really want to do it,i think i will open a thread in general android forum,maybe there when it is not only i9305 community,maybe some will have the answer.
Thanks again for your effort
Just wanted to post a tips about an app I just found, LG P880 Touch LED Notification available on the Play store. Just installed it on my custom rom (Slimbean) and it got a lot of options (much more than I expected) to
configure how it should blink, sleep cycle and so on. Though this requires ROOT so don't buy if you don't have it.
Just a tip, this is not marketing (So I hope this thread won't be removed).
I see @SimonTS coming along here. Please report, I'm on mobile.

Ok probably another note question but I can't seem to find how to get notifications working on my new watch.
I've updated all the software to the newest versions as well as the gear manager but I don't see any options for notifications and I'm certainly not getting any on my watch.
I am however using a custom rom would that have something to do with it?
If I'm using a custom rom based on touchwiz do I need any specific things to make my watch 100 percent compatible with my note3?
Right now other then the Bluetooth and camera I can't see much use for the watch!
Do I need to go back to stock on the Note for best compatibility?

In Gear Manager, click on Notifications, scroll down and find "More Notifications" (or maybe More Messages)
In there you can tick the apps you want to send notifications from, Facebook, Gmail etc.
I'm getting sick of the lag on my 4x. Camera tags so long the moment has past, messaging crashes 50% of the time, needing the recent tasks to be brought up and cleared before it will work again, browser is infuriating, and whenever anyone calls, the phone will ring and vibrate, but the screen will take so long in bringing up the 'answer/reject' options that sometimes the caller has rung off before I've even had a chance to answer!
This is on the most recent official 4.1.2
I know there's loads of roms available to me, but I need an un-rooted one, as I use the barclays banking app a lot for my business and it won't work on a rooted device.
Is it simple to just turn off the root mode on a custom rom?
Are most of them quite stable nowadays?

i'm almost sure you can't have a custom rom without root. try using some launcher to get your phone smoother like nova or adw and some task killers like clean master.
AFAIK, Omni is not rooted. You have to install SuperSU separately.
Also OP, this isn't the adequate section of the forum and the title of the thread is confusing too.
Even if you flash a rooted rom, the su app should give you an option to unroot (deleting the su binaries).. However, by doing this you'll lose some rom's features, which work with su permissions.. BTW, @laufersteppenwolf, maybe it's better to move this thread in Q&A section

and this is an original android development thread? Sounds legit.
Have you tried to use superSU and check temporarily unroot option btw?

We can help you how to unroot a ROM, but asking for "the best ROM" is against xda rules, so please rename your thread title, or else I have to close this thread. Also, I will move it into the Q&A section as soon as I'm home

Thanks all,
I'll have a look at the custom roms and choose a new one I reckon!
RootCloak looks a great idea! Exactly what I need!
I'm assuming most users (those of you who replied) don't find your phones as unusable as mine with your custom roms installed?

Personally, I have to say that my phone is smoother, faster and more battery friendly since from when I'm using a custom rom..I really prefer custom instead of stock
