Allow Mock Locations Vs Mock Location App? - Verizon Note 7 Questions & Answers

I am trying to side load the app called Flowly . On My Note 3 I have the "Allow Mock Locations" box with a check mark in the Developer's options and can side load apps.
On My new Note 7 in the developers options it has something called "Mock Location app", with three chooices
Contacts, Message+, and Messages. What is this and why cant I side load apps on my new note 7? Please Help!

iI found the Allow Mock locations it is in Settings\Lock screen and security. (I really hate when they move stuff around, I guess it makes sense to be in the Lock screen and security setting, but it would be nice if they had some pointers!)

[Q] S-Planner "location" share / navigate. Also different "note" app tie-in

[Q] S-Planner "location" share / navigate. Also different "note" app tie-in
The s-planner event "location" is great, but there's no way to share the map with another app; in particular I'd like to be able to navigate to the location. Any suggestions?
Also, the "notes" only gives me s-note as an available app... I'd love to be able to use a different app, such as evernote for the note portion of the event.
I realize that a different calendar app, such as Google Calendar, might give me these sorts of options, but the "see event title on monthly/weekly view" aspect of s-planner makes it a very attractive app.
Ideas?
UPDATE: I think I figured out that the Location can use "normal" map functionality (directions, navigation, etc.) if you enter an address instead of "pin pointing" a location on the map. I would still, however, like to know if anyone has ideas for how to get away from using s-note as the only note editor for s-planner. I've also installed CalenGoo... an excellent alternative that rivals s-planner in terms of functionality, but not as easy to use.

My Zopper companion app (ZW Utilities) supports enable/disable toggles for Wifi, Data, Bluetooth and Flashlight, if that's what you are looking for. If you just want to open the Settings page for Wifi, you should be able to do that by opening the OnTap action dialog, swipe two times to the right to the "Shortcuts" page, scroll down until you see the "Settings shortcut" option. Tap that and you can select the settings sub page you want to open with a tap on the Zooper module.
Hope this helps you out and happy theming
what i wanted to do is just a simple task, like when i tap on that particular object it opens the WIFI settings, im sorry but i really cant find "Settings shortcut" im using galaxy s5

I don't have any experience with the new Samsung devices, sorry. Might be that they don't have this feature in their system. Maybe another Samsung user can help you then.
oh gawd anyway thanks for your help mate

You COULD use Tasker to get the job done. You can literally hard code it to toggle on/off Wifi. Then, when you're done configuring Tasker, hop over to your Zooper widget and just point it to the Tasker profile you just made. Should allow you to toggle when you click on whatever object you place in Zooper. You can also do the same for data toggles, images, etc.
EDIT: I actually forgot that they integrated this. Configure your rectangle then click Module OnTap, scroll two screens over to the right, click "Settings Shortcut" and then chose Wi-Fi. Then back out to your widget, let it update and then click on the rectangle. It SHOULD take you to your Wi-Fi settings page. Hope this helps. :0)

Looks like we may have a solution: http://www.jagwar.de/en/zooper-wifi-toggle/
hi thanks for your research i really do appreciate that however base on my understanding it just creates a toggle where it enable / disable the wifi, what i was trying to do is open a wifi settings.. im not sure if i can do that with tasker.. im really terrible at programming
i will do my own research too, again i appreciate your time
thanks a lot
Oh, I see. Let me continue poking around and see what I can come up with. Unfortunately for you, I don't think it can be done on your phone, seeing as you're missing a vital element to make it work...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using XDA Free mobile app
yeah its such a shame that a new flagship that is supposed to be more powerful doesnt have this feature.. oh well i hope i can find a work around.
thanks a lot
To use Tasker:
Create a new task;
Enter a name for the task then click the check mark;
From the task edit page click the + at the bottom;
From the select action category list click settings;
Scroll to the bottom of the list then click WIFI settings;
You don't need to make any changes in the action edit page so go back to the task edit page;
Since your going to use the task as a shortcut you need to assign it an icon so click the icon on the bottom right corner (it looks like an app drawer icon);
Select an icon (it doesn't really matter which icon because for your purposes the icon will not display);
Then use the back button to completely back out of Tasker (this will automatically save the task).
From there just setup up your widget to launch a shortcut the task you just created.

Hey there, although your request can be managed by Tasker, I feel like you want a quicker/easier alternative. Coding can wait another day.
Download this app from the play store link then enter the OnTap property of your chosen Zooper widget module > Swipe once to the right > Select Wifi Settings from the apps list.
And you're done. Just tap on the module after a minute to let it refresh and you're set.
The free app is under 18kb so hardly resource intensive and more than makes up for the surprising lack of Settings shortcuts on your S5. (Seriously, my Note 2 has these basic shortcuts as does most stock/custom roms. I wonder why it didn't make it to the S5).
I have been equally frustrated by a similar situation. I want a widget that automatically takes me to the battery status.
I had built one before but was being thwarted by the lack of access to this setting. I thought I was crazy in not finding the settings be available. I dont really need a toggle for the wifi, but is there a suggestion for the battery settings?
i suppose I will play around with Tasker to see if I can figure something out, now that I know I am not crazy.
i may have found a quicker solution via a third party...
- install 'anycut' from the play store (icon ooks like a mushroom house)
- when setting up the 'on tap' part, point to 'any cut' under 'shortcuts' and let your mind be blown by the myriad of shortcuts provided, including the elusive wi-fi settings

How do I disable BlinkFeeds Meal Time Bundle in Marshmallow?

Hi,
I'de like to disable the Meal Time Bundle that keeps popping up on my lockscreen.
I've intalled ARHD 53.1, and when I used the Lollipop version 45.(something), I could disable this feature in BlinkFeed in Settings > Notifications on Lockscreen > Untick the Meal Time Bundle option (or something like that).
Now, in Marshmallow I don't have the option called Notifications on Lockscreen. Does anyone know how I can disable the Meal Time Bundle feature?
Its funny that all I miss from sense 6 is the mealtime suggestions, yet everybody else wants them gone. I have never even seen suggestions on my Blinkfeed 7.
If its not much trouble to help me out, please make me a backup of your sense home (apk+data) using either Helium or Titanium Backup. This feature is immensely useful to me during my frequent travels.
To disable mealtime suggestions in sense 7:
1. Swipe right in blinkfeed to reveal the menu, go into the 3-dots menu, and select "Remove contents". Scroll all the way down, and select "Mealtime Recommendations", then tap the "Remove" button. This will remove it from blinkfeed.
2. Swipe right in blinkfeed to reveal the menu, go into the 3-dots menu, and select "Services & Apps". Scroll down to "Mealtime Recommendations" option and make sure its now unchecked - otherwise uncheck it. This will disable the "mealtime recommendations" service.
3. Add the "Sense Home" widget to your home screen. Tap on the top left label (either home, work, or out), tap on the 3-dot menu on the top right corner and select "Personalize Sense Home", then uncheck the "Share my precise location..." option. This will prevent Blinkfeed from using your location for geo-personalized contents in the future.
Voila,
Enjoy
P.S. Here is a Play Store link to Helium Backup (free). It doesn't require Root.

#1 and #2 doesn't work here. Those options are missing for me in Marshmallow. I've already tried #3 at the day of posting, and seems I haven't gotten any more suggestions yet. So that might solve it. I can see it as being a nice feature if you travel in your work, etc.

I don't think I ever got the meal suggestions to stop. Although I don't remember if I tried Option #3 (stop sharing precise location) or not.
My main issue with the feature, is that (at least in my case) it never suggested anything of interest, that was actually anywhere "close" to my location. It either kept suggesting the same one (mediocre) place I already knew about, near my house. Or kept suggesting places that were several miles away. Which in the Boston area, might take 30-40 minutes to get to; so not usually practical or desirable when other options were much closer. Every time it would suggest a place that looked interesting to me; I'd look at the location, and it was somewhere 2 towns away or more.
HTC prescribes a "long route" solution: tap & hold on mealtime suggestions in BlinkFeed then tap remove. Repeat this whenever you see them, and BlinkFeed will understand and eventually stop showing them altogether.
I think HTC should've made this feature much more customizable: deep integration with Yelp / Foursquare apps is the way to go, instead of random nonsense. That way you give users total control over what they want to see. These apps already can be personalized to suggest relevant venues that match the user's specific preferences including taste, environment, social setting, distance from current location, budget, etc...

I agree, it was a cool feature in theory; but never reached its potential. Customization options could have made it a really useful feature.

Disabling unneeded apps/bloatware

I wanted to remove (disable) some of the apps I don't need (starting with Chrome and Weather); however, the Disable icon on the app properties page is grayed out. I then checked a few other "system" apps and none of them had the disable button working.
Is this some new Oreo "feature", or is it Xiaomi / Mi Max 3 specific? I know that on a Huawei device running stock Nougat a few months ago, disabling was available.
(On a side note - is it possible that MIUI doesn't include "search" (for apps) on the homescreens?)
You can disable system apps by following this:
Set the language to english, go to Play store -> Help & feedback, find and open the following article "Delete or disable apps on Android", you will see a link named "Tap to go to Application Settings", tap it and the stock app manager will appear.
it's not oreo or max 3 feature, it's just hidden. download from play market - Redmi System Manager, no root requires, open app, give it permissions (if asks) touch the button on the bottom (three point vertically) press Show system apps, find and disable. I've disabled many useless apps this way
Thanks, seems it gets to the same stock app manager as the one from Help&Feedback in Store app. Also, I came across an app MIUI Hidden Settings which also pretty much accomplishes the same (and has lots of other features as well). So there is hope (until I actually read parts of Xiaomi's Privacy Policy, which made me worried...).
But it seems that Xiaomi (if I compare it to my Huawei experience) is much more stringent when it comes to being able to disable crap. For instance, I was able to disable Chrome and Google Photos, but Feedback, Cleaner, and stock Browser have a grayed out Disable button no matter what.

Question Little dots on Apps missing on new messages

Hi there!
I don't know how they are called in the english original, but on my P6P I really miss the little dots e.g. on the Mail App when there are new messages.
In my options it has this option and it is on, but there aren't any of these dots. I really miss them, cause so you always have to pull down to see where there's something new when you are already using your phone.
Anyone a conclusion for me?
In the GMail app? I can't picture the dots.
That's called "Notification dot on app icon" and can be found in System Settings --> Notifications, down near the bottom.
It can also be turned on and off on a per-application basis by going into the application specific notification settings at System Settings --> Notifications --> App settings --> {whatever}, and switching on/off the option to "Allow notification dot" at the bottom.
But personally, I dislike this "feature". If the application notifies you, then why not click it instead of running around through your menus trying to find the one with the dot?
Thank you for the right name of what I'm looking for
But no I don't run around looking for these dots, I just open the phone and mostly there are WhatsApp or Mail news and I always have to look inside to see if there's anything new when I don't want to swipe down for my notifications.
The Settings are all set, but there are no dots for me!
Don't know if this matters, but I use the Nova Launcher.

You need to allow notification access in Nova for the dots or badges to appear. Go into Nova settings > Notification Badges and then tap the message at the bottom of your screen to enable read access to notifications.
You can also check if notifications have been disabled by going into System Settings > Notifications > Device and App Notifications and checking if Nova is enabled or disabled.
The hint with the settings brought me to the solution I think. It seems you need Nova Launcher Prime for the dots
