You can actually change icons in your app drawer with Nova (or at least Nova Prime - so long since I used free Nova that I can't remember). Just long press on the icon, select edit, choose an icon. In fact if you change the icon in the app drawer it also changes it everywhere else.

I've never had a problem with creating folders, but I prefer to create them in Nova's app drawer settings because that creates folders where I can give the folder a custom icon, nest folders inside folders, place them in the dock, and keep them in an app drawer tab. Very, very much more flexible than the ad hoc "drag a couple of icons on top of each other to make a folder" approach that most launchers provide (including Nova).

In the end it was almost complicated to set the scroll bar colors with other colors as well..
But over all it was pretty decent until it crashed a bit on my moto edge cell..

Collectors And Their Collections

My buddy that lived down the block always let me read his Sarge cartoon magazines. He was an only child and always had cool stuff. He had the first slot car track I ever saw. He had a pellet rifle. He introduced me to silly putty. His dad had a set of dies to make lead army men. Four different guys in a mold. My buddy was allowed to use the smelting pot and pour lead into the mold. We would set the guys up and plink them with my bb guy and his pellet gun. Once they were disfigured beyond recognition we would melt them down and make new men. It was the greatest thing since sliced bread!!! :) I bet they don't sell anything like that anymore.

How to Turn Off Pairing Notification Sound on Android?

Milo Willamson
The quoted text —


“If you'd like, I can help look up ADB-based tweaks or provide instructions for advanced approaches that might offer more control. Want to venture into deeper waters?” —
is a response to a persistent issue discussed on the page: how to silence the Bluetooth pairing notification sound on a Samsung Galaxy device, even when standard settings don’t work.
Click to expand...

Context Summary​


The original poster (RJB) is frustrated because:


  • Their Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra plays a notification sound when a Bluetooth device attempts to pair — even in Do Not Disturb mode.
  • They’ve already tried muting Bluetooth system app notifications, adjusting notification categories, and setting sounds to “Silent.”
  • Despite these efforts, the sound still plays, suggesting it may be hardcoded at the system level.

What the Quoted Text Implies​


The quoted offer to help with ADB-based tweaks or advanced approaches is a pivot from basic settings to deeper system-level modifications, such as:


  • Using Android Debug Bridge (ADB) to disable or modify hidden system behaviors
  • Possibly exploring root-level changes or custom ROMs, though these are riskier

The phrase “venture into deeper waters” is a metaphorical nudge, inviting the user to explore more technical, potentially complex solutions that go beyond what the UI allows.


⚠️ Why This Matters​


Samsung’s One UI and Android 15 may lock down certain system sounds, especially those tied to security prompts like Bluetooth pairing. That’s why even muted categories still trigger sounds — they’re likely protected system events.


Would you like me to walk you through safe ADB commands that might help suppress these pairing sounds, or explore whether Samsung’s system UI allows any hidden toggles for this?
