[Q] disable the complete lookscreen

is there any chance to disable the lockscreen itsself ?
it is comfortable to open the cover and the device turns on- and so the buttons to power on the device are not good to use it is really nessesary-, but every time i had to unlook the lookscreen.
kind regards
gandalf
edit : found the solution myself- under security you can choose On /off disable Lockscreen- the only left lockscreen is if you change the user.
if you think you re crazy cause you dont find it....the option is only chooseable,if the lockscreen disable option is not enable by "wipe".
Yes, go to settings, security, and in the Screenlock option select "None".
I use this myself with my fake smart cover.

If you have two users then I'm not sure... ask Saruman he may know.

[Q]

Hi!
I'm wondering if it's possible to change the way the meny look? I don't like the gray "bar" that's around the icons/program when you press the menu-button. So, is it possible to change it? Like with a theme or something.
And my second question, is it possible to change the settings when you make a recording (video)? Or does the same settings from camera-mode automatically start?
And my last question, is it possible to make a videocall without Skype and programs like that?
//Philip
i dont even know where to start.
1st your title for this thread is nearly nothing, give more info other than just a letter "Q"

dont quite understand,
-go to stock camera app > change it to video camera > click on the settings icon
-go to play store and download some other video apps

Installed Null, now Double tap of screen does nothing

I cannot access anything from double tapping the screen now that I installed the new Null Rom. I want to be able to get to the standard Note 3 settings for Volume and Brightness, as I shut down the volume while sleeping to avoid hearing incoming notifications, and to adjust screen inside or outside. Any settings in Nova or other that may have caused this, and how do I get this feature back? Thank you.

Thanks, but did read, and he only talks about double tapping the Home button, not the screen.
Lock the screen in Nova settings, then set the double tap gesture to whatever you want.

No sir. Could not get it, and since I am US AT&T with no cool Bluetooth tether, I went back to Stock.

Just got done chatting with fOmey. Looks like we can get something similar but we need to install gravbox from the rom to get the settings. I have have quick access to what I need. I will work on adding in a tutorial next week some time.
Nice options with gravbox
Adding to almulders reply, if you want the stock double tap experience you have to use the normal systemui.. not the full systemui.
The double tap action expands the notification panel in the watch system ui, when you use the full system ui this obviously overwrites this and opens the standard notification panel.
Gravitybox enables additional toggles, which will allow you to toggle sound mode etc.

Thank you very much fOmey. I appreciate all your work, but being in USA I found that the only real feature that i would use is the Google Search. I am hopeful one day for a fix to our bluetooth issues on AT&T, but until then I will keep checking in to see what else you and the great community can add. I cannot regretfully ever hack my phone rom, as i am on a Corporate exchange system and had to sign off on a policy stating I would not do this type of thing. I would have already tried the International one otherwise, but I am a Director and cannot get in trouble over this with the company. Thanks again.

Remove add user icon from notification bar

Hello I have a galaxy tab s2 t810 running lollipop 5.1.1 It is rooted .I want to remove the add user icon from the notification bar. When the screen is locked anybody can pull down the notification bar click on users and then create a new user by clicking on add user. I want to remove only the add user icon please point me in the right direction. I have looked in settings under lock screen and there is no option to turn this off. Thanks
Tejal
Agreed
Wow, I can't believe there is still no information anywhere about this. I would really like to know the answer as well. I imagine a lot of people are the sole users of their devices and do not want anyone who picks up their device to be able to create a new account, change settings and download apps. I encrypt my devices and know my information is secure but if I want to add a user I can do it from the settings once I'm logged in. I would love the ability to remove the option from the lock screen. I just don't get whoever thought this was a good idea but apparently most people either don't mind, don't care or as I suspect, don't realize it's there. This option should be available for unrooted devices as well.
Check this out. Maybe this is what you need.

Thanks "add fw.max_users=1 in build.prop and restart the device" works great!!
Thanks for the quick reply it itandy! I will give this a shot.

I did that and it worked but there is still the icon for 'setting' in the lockscreen pulldown and clicking on it bypass the lockscreen. Can I get rid of that icon too?
I updated to tab s2 to nougat. I was expecting the add user option could be customised to disable it completely but it is still the same.
I want to remove add guest and add user completely from the notification. How do I make this happen ?

Hi !
Still looking for a solution on this one. Any body successful ? It feels so helpless when some one can simply open your device using add user in notification !

Here, ?
fw.max_users=1
fw.show_multiuserui=0

This goes to end of build.prop (if not already added)
This disables addition/changing of user from settings app/status bar.
Please hit "Thanks" below ?

Question Network Modes (5G-2G)

I just moved new from huawei to samsung. and on huawei they always had a shortcut to switch directly to 4G only. also when long pressing on the mobile data in quickpanel it took you directly to the setting page where you can change the network mode.
On samsung software i cant seem to find any shortcut to this except to go to settings > connections > mobile networks > network mode and change from there. I dont want to keep it at automatic because sometimes i am in poor reception areas and already have wifi so i need to force it to 2g only which has better reception. (to reduce battery drain)

This worked for me.
Samsung Band Selection - Apps on Google Play
This app will help you access hidden network settings for forcing band selection
play.google.com
Select the "More network settings" option

I click on the button I mentioned and it brings me to a band selection screen. Might only work on the QUALCOMM version which is what I have.
Here is a screen recording I just made.

Just use Bixby routines and create a condition or a button to trigger the change to your preferred network mode.

seems so. and besides it still requires you to go to the application and click the button. so i can instead click on settings and then connections and then im on the same screen. on huawei it was just 1 click to be on that screen

I have set up a bixby routine to switch network modes, and you can put a button on your homepage.
Settings > Advanced Features > Bixby Routines
If Start Button Tapped
Then Network mode (select what you want)
You can also make it revert when you unclick the button
Then on the home page, long press, add widget, add a bixby routine button, select the routine you just made

Sure. In the "if" condition choose "start button" then choose the action to switch to the preferred network mode. After that you can set a home screen button for the routine.

Thanks guys, ok I have managed to create the scenario but I was under the impression that this button can be put in the quick toggles but I cannot find it. Where do you find the button?
I can only see it as a widget. (I am using nova launcher if it matters)
Thanks again

There are apps I have used in the past that create shortcuts to system tasks that appear as apps, however I don't know if it's compatible with Bixby Routines. Will try at lunch and see what I can find

I have found from the galaxy store the app called widget edge that would allow you to add widgets to the edge feature.
For now this solves my problem in a way. If you think of other solutions please let me know.
