Auto-activation of Location + WhatsApp modifications + Browsing animation on Album



Hey,

I've got four questions, and would kindly appreciate any help/suggestion.

1. I would like to know whether it is possilbe or not, to allow certain apps (e.g Waze) to turn on Location automatcially upon start, without the need to manually turn on (and later off) Location via Settings.

2. By using a third-party app (Notify Me), when getting a message on Whatsapp, it will wake up the screen and show a preview of the message. The downside occurs when a second message arrives from the same sender: instead of creating a new row, with a new preview of the message, it is summed up with the previous message and now I will see: "2 messages from XXX" - and the only way to preview those two messages is by unlocking the screen and slide top-to-bottom (to show the updates center window).
I tired to play with the notification settings on Whatsapp, Notify Me and "notification" on Settings, but none of them satisifed me.

And another thing regarding WhatsApp - when I recieve a photo and download it to my album, and later I delete the photo from the album, it will also be deleted from the sender conversation window! Why those two are linked? It means that if I delete a picture from my phone and then regret and want to re-download it from WhatsApp, I can't.
P.S - WhatsApp is installed locally, and pictures are saved on SD-Card, if it has anything to do with that.

3. That might sound a bit odd, but I don't like the animation shown when browsing photos on Album app (kind of "revolving doors" animation). Is there a way to change it or to turn it off? Maybe changing animation settings using "Developers mode" will sort it, but then it will disable each and every animation on the phone, which I basically like.

4. Is it safe to use old syncing cables (original ones when I had Samsung Galaxy SIII mini) with my new Z3C? It seems to have the same mini-port connection, but I fear it will somehow damage the Z3C because of unknown compatibility issues (different voltage or something)

Thanks a lot!!
