Just now I flashed Cyanogen Mod Nightly in my Galaxy S3. Everything works smoothly and better, but a broadcasting SMS from cell broadcast channel 50 annoys me repeatedly. I got 50+ notification in just 15 minutes. Tried to black list, force stop, etc. But nothing worked. Finally, I found a solution from the CM forum which I shares here.

Block Notification From Cell Broadcast Channel 50

1. Open Terminal Emulator
2. Type su and tap on enter
(Allow on Superuser Permission popup)
3. Then type pm disable com.android.cellbroadcastreceiver and tap on enter.



4. Thats it .. You will get the success message as below
"package com.android.cellbroadcastreceiver new state: disabled"

Toggles on Notification bar help us to easily enable/disable or navigate to settings,tasks etc. In stock android ROM there is a limited number of notification toggles and there is no option to edit those toggles. If you have a custom ROM based on AOSP/AOKP then you can add or customize the notification toggles easily.

For custom notification toggles i am not going to recommend you to flash a custom ROM. Without having a custom or rooted ROM you can add and customize notification toggles by installing free or paid apps.

I prefer Notification Toggles and 1Tap quick Bar. These apps are free for download. To enable the premium features you can buy the full version from PlayStore. I am happy with the free version.

Notification Toggle

Pros:
- Possible to add many toggles in one line
- Possible to add 2 Notification bar
- Possible to add Installed apps to notification bar
- Possible to add custom icon images
- Possible to add custom icon colors

Cons:
- Installed apps icons are a little big
- default toggle icons are not much attractive when compared with 1Tab Quick Bar
- UI is not much attractive

1Tap quick Bar

Pros:
- UI is attractive and user friendly
- Possible to add Installed apps to notification bar
- Possible to add background to the notification bar
- Installed apps icons are better size when compared with Notification Toggle
- Default toggle icons are better than Notification Toggle

Cons:
- Possible to add only 6 icons per notification bar
- Free version limited with 1 notification bar

Note : Above is my review for the Free versions of the apps. The premium version may be more attractive.
