Removing the music bar and power settings from the top slider (notification bar)

Recieved my P990 yesterday. But I cannot seem to find the right application to remove to ditch the music bar and power settings from the notification panel.
Already removed the music application etc. (trough titanium backup with root)
Does anyone know what the application is called that shows this. Or is it in the rom and can't it be removed. (which mean I have to put the music app back to make it work and ditch winamp)

Open the musicapp and open the settings, there you van disable the player in the notification bar.

That only works if you didn't remove of freezed the music app. Unfreeze, deselect the option, the musicbar is gone. Freeze or remove the app, the musicbar is there again. I've tried it many times...

Music bar is managed by the framework.
It is on by default at boot but can be turned off by the Music app. If you remove the Music app it never gets told to "turn off".
Actually, in the framework it appears really easy to totally remove this functionality but will require a patch that I've not worked on yet, and it may require to remove the actual Music app to prevent force closes.
I might have a play with that this weekend.

Anything on the second question of topic?

There's no option to turn them off as far as I can tell but I think I can also remove that permanently... I'll look at that too.

Okay, so don't try and do this.
I just bricked my phone.
I'll need to wait for a mod/update or return it. Back to my Nexus One for the weekend it seems.

No problems, have a Nexus One to go back to which is sweet.
Don't (try to) replace framework-res.apk, that's what I learned...

How the hell do you brick a phone by replacing an apk? A brick is what the word suggests; A brick, paperweight etc. Surely you could replace the apk with ADB?

It's a paperweight.
I need a nv flash to replace the system.img.
The framework fails to load and a reset command is issued by the system as soon as it boots. I have adb access for less than 3 seconds before the phone restarts and can not issue a stop command before the reset command.
It's not that uncommon really.

Can't you issue the adb command and it will wait for the device to boot fully and then stop before the reset? Unless you probably already tried it. Best of luck man!

I want to know the exact same. Looked around in secret menu but there was no fix for it. Anybody else have any idea? The music app is annoying since it always seems to start up and sit in memory for no reason

[Q] Camera shutter sound

DU Hellooooo00ooo,
Well, Hi there good people of XDA.
Using my S4 active for a good 2 months now (minus the month away fo replacement, water damage) but I'm getting really annoyed with the camera shutter and filming sound.
Looked on the whole internetz but could only find tips that didn't work.
So here's what I tried:
>> Phone needs to be rooted! > Downlaod "Note 2 hidden settings" from the market and disable shutter sound.
This works and is the quickest and most easy way to do it. You need to be rooted though!
>> "If the phone is rooted... goto root > system > media > ui
Under ui , rename the files shutter.ogg to anything eg shutter_no.ogg
do the same for camera...
Reboot....
Voila!!!! No camera sounds..."
This works when used with a ROOT explorer who can get W/R permissions
>>"If you want to remove it completely, try this app. It worked on all my previous phones.
https://sites.google.com/site/enforcedstreamsilencer/
You're welcome."
This didn't help either. (could install and use it but didn't change a thing)
>> "Click on the settings icon. Press it again for a window to pop up. Then select the most right tab and scroll down, you should see the shutter sound option. It should be second to last on the list."
This option isn't even there on my (unbranded) S4 active. (seems to be not available in some countries due to privacy stuff)
>> "If you are rooted, you can change the settings to give you the prompt on the menu. The file is root/system/csc/feature.xml. Change the "false" in the shuttersoundmenu line to "true". It will put the option on the camera settings menu."
This didn't work because when I tried to change the false to true it didn't let me save it.
So my question here:
Is there any other way to get rid of this shutter sound?
And if not. Am I doing something wrong with the file changing?
Thanks for any help in advance!

You need to use a root file-explorer and then mount the /system folder as RW - the options to do this should be in whatever root explorer you choose to use. Remember to remount back as read-only when you're done deleting, for security.

If you install the Xposed framework and then the Wanam Xposed module it'll offer the ability to shut off that/those sound(s) for you, as well as add a whole bunch of other functionality too. Highly recommended for such tweaks because it's easily reversible courtesy of a checkbox...

Xposed framework. Heard that was a tricky thing to do with the active.. Or am I wrong?
will test the RW thing tonight. Will let you know how it went

Xposed framework works fine for me on the i9295, but then it's a bit overkill for just disabling the shutter sound - if that's all you want to do, just use the file-delete method. I used ES File Explorer to remount the /system folder and make the change, and have had to redo it after every update of course.

That is unfortunately not true - Samsung is one of the companies that choose not to give the end user the choice to break the law.
Yes, in some countries it is apparently illegal to turn off the shutter sound, due to rampant upskirt picture taking and so on.

Really - although I should of course only speak for the Active since that's the device I own, I've heard repeatedly that Samsung owners have problems with this. Perhaps some devices are excluded - alas the international S4 Active is not.
Edit: I checked, and that option does indeed exist on certain versions of the S4 - not most of them, and not the S4 Active however, or at least not the international version. I'm guessing you have a regular S4 by the endline of your post - please note that this is the forum for the S4 Active, a completely different device.

Guys guys guys,
The shutter sound setting is there depending on country and their laws on those things.
At my S4 Active that option is not there, read the first post where I talk about changing a word from false to true to activate that option. Still didn't work.
The matter is solved for me but if you don't believe that there ISN'T a settings button... here's a screenshot

It's not entirely country-dependant - it's model and provider dependant. Samsung by default apparently removes the setting. A few providers in the US put it back in their custom versions of the phones - on the regular S4.
Don't worry, it's not an argument - I just think it's better if the real info is in the thread when people go searching for ways to fix this "feature".

i just change to silent mode on my s4 active int. version.
No shutter sound.

as mentioned...Note 2 Hidden Settings allows you to set the shutter sound among other settings.
you can download from play store. it requires root though.

Note 2 hidden settings works aswell indeed. will update OP with that option!

[Q] How to disable popup warning AFTER charging?

Hi,
I recently got a wireless charging receiver for the phone and now I get this annoying popup which says to close the micro usb properly to prevent water damage.
This happens also sometimes during charging in the middle of the night.
Can anyone tell me how to disable the popup? To make it clearer, it is not the flashing text that appears when the phone is connected to the charger. ( this can be disabled via xposed module)
The one I am talking about is more like a text with a white background picture.
"for protection against water damage firmly seal the charging cover before use"
Anyone else with the "problem" ?
I am on NEE-I9295XXUBMK2.
Thanks for the help in advance.
[edit]
this also happens when I disconnect the device from USB.

No one with this problem?

I have found battery_cover_notice.xml in systemui\res\layout
There is an battery_cover_notice_image and an battery_cover_notice_message
The Pic is help_img_usb.png in folder systemui\res\drawable-hdpi
Now you can try and delete the battery_cover_notice.xml from the SystemUI

I tried and it worked ( at least the popup doesn't appear anymore) but I do not have a notification area at the top anymore. No clock, Signal or anything.
Perhaps it's because of the odex file? Didn't touch that.
I will try it again. Might be, I did something wrong.....
Thanks

okay thanks for feedback...
I will investigate this....

So is there no non-root way of disabling this?

I am.
No solution found so far.
Only I remember - that started after OTA update from Samsung in later 2013.
On original software I didn't have such warning.
Before and after is 4.2.2 Android, I didn't notice any changes, so I am lookiing for old firmware to download...
p.s. I also have wireless charger from "indiegogo"

Cloud it be that this notice is a toast with a custom theme? You could check it with my app EnhancedToast, and hide it if it is a toast. Enable logging in the app and watch it.And yes, root is required for Xposed. Btw, the Google edition don't show it at all

^Mostly what I was going to say, so thanks.
You should check EnhancedToast if you can, and you could always switch ROM's - I'm loving the CM 10.2 ROM, which doesn't have the warning, and offers a lot of other advantages. If a notification comes up in the bar, long-press it and see if comes up with the "app info" button - it could be run through some sort of stock app that you could disable or uninstall altogether.

Hi everyone! I'm new on the forum and in smartphones as well. Rooted GT-i9252 last week. Starting to develop app in future.

Any good source to learn more of ROMs? What do I lose if I dump the original, what do I get with some other ROM?
How should I backup? Meaning there's lot's of data:
- contacts and messaging and that stuff
- pictures, music, videos etc
- OS (?)
- ROM
- Apps (downloaded and system)
Maybe someone could explain the best practice to backup ROM,OS and apps.
Thanks in advance, Kaptah.

What method of rooting your phone did you use? They are not the same thing, but it is possible to do them both at the one time. If everything looks different, then yes, you would have changed your ROM while rooting.

OK I've found the option but it's not the one I was looking for. This one seems to remove the message when you plug your phone to the power supply. Maybe I'm wrong. Anyway thanks a lot for your help.

This problem appeared/reappeared when i upgraded from 4.2.2 to 4.3 (ML2)
After rooting ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2690133 )
and disabling KNOXagent it still gives this warning, which it did not do after the 4.2.2 Active Root.
This is merely an annoyance but if someone figures out a quick way to disable it that would be grand.

i have this issue too. cant wait for a fix for this. just updated to 4.3 a few days ago and having to tap the bubble everytime is just annoying. why the hell would they add these rediculous notifications? its not like att or samsung will stand behind the "waterproof" claim anyway..... water damage weather the door is open or closed means your screwed no matter what.

I've personally tried using the "EnhancedToast" module for xposed and the prompts do not register as toast events. It has to be something else.

MM 6.0.1: "Screen Overlay" - Pulling My Hair Out!!!

Hi,
I am having a major issue with Marshmallow 6.0.1 on my Rooted N910T and it's driving me nuts! I'm totally new to MM and I have no idea how to handle this, or if it even can be handled.
This is a new phone for me, that was fresh and I updated to MM using Samsung's ROM, Rooted it and have PhilZ Recoveey on it.
After I install apps that need access to my Storage (or some other things), like for example "OfficeSuite Pro", which needs access to my Storage, a message pops up when I open the app, telling me it needs that access. So I tap "Allow".
Then another message comes up that says; "Screen Overlay Detected" and it tells me that I have to turn it Off. So I tap "Open Settings".
Then it takes me to a list of apps that each have an On/Off switch and it says; "Apps that can appear on top" at the top of that screen.. And sometimes I can move the switch, sometimes I can't. But whether it's already in the right position, or I can move it there (and I've tried both settings) makes no difference.
I.e., it still does the same thing when I go into the apps and so in this example, I still can't access my documents.
May I please humbly request, does anyone have any idea what's going on here and how to hopefully fix it? I would be so amazingly grateful!!!
Thank You!

If you have a screen color changing app like Twilight or F.lux running, pause it and run whatever you want without overlay bother. When you're done with your app, resume your color changing app.

If you have root+xposed installed you can grab ( disable screen overlay warning ) module and activate it. You can get rid of it permanently.

feature advisor emui 9.0?
