Most of custom roms are using preload folder bcause SecSettings.apk is a big file. So it's good to prepare preload pack and put it in OP too.

SecSettings.apk in Ultimate is located in preload, this mod use system layout. You can extract the zip and push the SecSettings.apk to Preload\symlink\system\app folder

does anyone know which file to edit (in secsettings.apk) so that we would get white backround

Is there anyway of getting ota update, ink colour changer and ad away in settings as this mod has removed them thanks

white

hello,

I already mod like this too, base on LT4 on superbean rom, everything works.. :good:

but I need an answer/confirmation from everyone who has tried this mod... on menu -> more setting -> mobile networks it still has black background color ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] asmanao:
yes it's black :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] galaxynote2:
Yes, its black because "more settings" its apart from the secsettings.apk...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] ikromy:
thanks,

so do you know which file that contains "more setting" ? the only clue that I found is "com.android.phone.MobileNetworkSettings" :confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] indiandroid:
It doesnt work on Stock DDLSC.

Kindly provide the solution. Thanks.:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] galaxynote2:
Please, tell me what problem do you have (force close, still black etc)...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] indiandroid:
I guess it will work on deodexed Rom's. Mine was Stock odex.

The problem was the phone hanged while replacing secsettings.apk through root explorer.

But i tried the mod in another custom deodexed Rom ( Snow ) and it worked ok.

Also the mod doesnt effect the menu on Desktop where we add widgets/wallpaper. Its still remain black while main settings are white? Wats the solution?

And is there anyway to make Settings transparent like the Multiwindow mod??
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] lohyitchun:
Color contrast problem

First thanks for sharing such nice mod.. really love the white settings.

I have see most of the pages without problem but noticed the volume adjustor has color contrast problem, as show at picture below:

It would be appreciate if this problem can be fixed.

Thanks again!

Besides, I'm using ultimate ROM v6 that had additional settings integrated, such as UpdateMeOTA, ink color changer, USB mode switcher etc... These additional settings disappeared when I using this mod... These settings reappeared once I have revert back to original SecSetting.

hi

Good job! thanx! i was looking for ROMs that have white settings..i am using Angry Rom...and it has the option to see the settings on 2 columns ! can we have that too? just like on tablets... and the resizable windows in order to minimaze them?(in multitasking)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] remondt:
great

i just can say... thanks :good:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] galaxynote2:
Sure you can have that (see attached image). Just use Xposed Per App Settings to change it. About Multiwindow resizable feature, i guess it is possible. But you need to change some things (dont know, smali files,layouts, etc) and i dont know how to do that. You could try Xperiacle's Multiwindow mod and tell me how it works. Changing ui to white its really easy and fast, just add ".Light" after "DeviceDefault." in res/values/styles.xml and then recompile it. I already did it in some apps: Phone, SMS and SecSettings.apk.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Hassan_Elyas:
Wow! It really works!

Just flashed it on Pristine V4.0 Slim version!

Flashed it , wiped cache and dalvik cache and rebooted!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] mscion:
Hi galaxynote2. I am actually trying to set up a white ui on my galaxy note 2 but with mixed success. But now I think I have been going about things incorrectly. For example I used a sec.contacts.apk from a tablet which worked nicely when I started contacts but if I then tried to use the phone the contacts stops. What you suggest is something better. That I learn how to modify the apk myself! Is this something I can do without a SDK. For example can one edit and compile this on the phone? Sorry if this is a totally noob question. But on the bright side, I am educable!

EDIT: I see, there is an app you can edit and compile (AIDE) but you still need to decompile... Have to take a look at SDK and apktool.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] galaxynote2:
I dont knew anything about an app that can Compile, edit XMLs and then recompile it again. Maybe developers didn't created it for a basic reason: Who wants to create an app on their phone? I think it would be difficult to edit strings, hex colors, testing apps, copy & paste strings from xda, scrolling to see the whole xml... It would be a nice idea for our 5.3" HD's Note screen , but imagine editing an app on a Xperia mini or an S Advance... Maybe in a near future, they will be some apps with user interface (like an Xposed Module) that can modify apps, force White theme, changing icons etc...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] cplking:
Any luck on my request bud?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] mscion:
Yes, having the real estate of the galaxy note helps. Too bad it doesn't come with a hardware keyboard! Anyways, here is a link for the AIDE app.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aide.ui&hl=en

They set up a "hello world" file for you play with. You can edit and compile to make your very own app! It even sets up an icon. I was thinking that I could just edit my Sec.Settings.apk by putting in the modification you suggested but I first need to decompile it! So I'll be downloading apktool and SDK tonight...

SameProblem?!

Hello!

I'm a newbee... i want to connect a GPS 4TomTom to the USB Port.

So i don't really know, how to connect the MDA II to the USB GPS-Mouse.

I've taken an USB cable, that could charge the MDA II and build a adapter to connect the cable and the GPS Mouse in it. It won't work. I've think so already, but i've read it anywhere in the www.

So, could anybody help me with the Problem?

I've an Haicom HI-202E GPS-Mouse,

the MDA II :wink:

a soldering iron...

and a 5V Powersupply in my adapter (consists of 2 USB ports connected to each other, powersupplied with an 7805 (2A))

How can i fix it?

Thanks!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] LumpiStefan:
Re: SameProblem?!

I'm not 100% sure, but i think, that wouldn't work.

The USB Specifications says that USB requires one master device to controll the slave devices. Your PC is the master device and the mda is just an slave. You won't be able to get 2 slaves talking to each other without a master.....

Stefan
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] Nobody0815:
cant the MDA work as an Master? :cry:

I've heard it so. But I'm not shure.

Some people gets a external HDD working on other PDA's.

I'll look and think about, but i've never found anithing an web for thet problem/solution. :roll:

I've wondered that nobody wants to connect more on the PDA...

I mean 20Gig HDD may be nice in Holliday to listen music :wink:
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] Nobody0815:
the tomtom software for PPC's will enable under "GPS-status - GPS" the options to select a protocol/GPS-Mouse and the connection:

Ir

BT on com6

serial on com1

com9

.

Serial on USB

Bluetooth GPS

so, i thought it will :(

Thanks for more...

Tan
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] edsub:
@nobody: THE MDA can ony act as slave.

BUT: For GPS you ony need a serial port. And after all USB IS a serial type of port.

Only thing you need to do is solder a cable that connects the +5v, ground, Tx and Rx of the GPS USB connector to the appropiate pins of the MDA connector . . . .

On one of the german forums (cant remember the name :-( )there is a memeber nicked 'mocki' that offers custom built cables.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] cruisin-thru:
Tanman, choose nmea 4800 and com 1. Make sure beams are off and also that you dont have a keyboard driver loaded. Go to the gps screen in tomtom and see if there is any bars showing for satellites. If this doesnt work or gives an error let me know.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] tanmann:
Hi cruisin-thru

Worked a treat

what I could not find at first was 'nmea 4800' which was the name of the sat receiver

Nice one thanx a lot

Tan
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] cruisin-thru:
Tanman, that is actually the protocol used by the receiver rather than the name/model. Glad its sorted for you.

AC!D Audio

DISCLAIMER:

I don't claim this to be my work nor dev it. I just want to share my finding...and flash at your own RISK!! I'm not responsible for what happened after. A big thanks to the AC!D team. Please if you have the time thanks them.

OK with that out of the way...

I have tested and confirmed that AC!D v7.0 works for our S4. When I say confirmed it mean I tested multiple version and let it sit before I shared it.

Here's the original link to the thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1923630

Tested on WICKED v2 (which is a TouchWiz rom) with TWRP 2.5.0.0

NOT COMPATIBLE w/ WICKED 5.1 Use V5.0

**MUST BE ROOTED**

Installation instructions:

1. MAKE A NANOID BACK-UP!!!! (I can't stress how important this step is)

2. Download v7.0 AOSP3 [2805] ONLY!!!

3. Download Add-ons either: Clear+Audio or Noozxoidelabs.noozy.84.011 (Your pick...I like Noozxoide personally.)

4. Reboot into recovery.

5. Flash AOSP3 [2805] (this will take a while, don't worry it's installing...)

6. Wipe cache/dalvik (I do this twice just in case)

7. Flash add-on

8. Wipe cache/dalvik (I do this twice just in case)

9. Fix permission.

10. Reboot and enjoy. :victory:

The build.prop will be added. To confirm this use Root Explorer and goto /system/build.prop and go to the bottom and you should see the added props.

Sound setting I prefer putting on your headphone and test all options. It varies from each person. One thing I do not like is how the actual volume button is weak I have to put it on MAX...so until there's a mod for that you just have to live with it! :silly:

Issue: If you are experiencing issue with EQ not working or buzzing noise.

Fix: I may suggest you recover to previous backup before the 2805 flash and flash 2802 first then 2805. As some have issue with 2805. Can't confirm call quality on AOSP rom.

After some testing it's noted what 2802 is best by it's self with certain TW rom.

Q&A:

Q) Why can't I just download the Stock Rom version?

A) Because I tested that and it will send your phone into bootloop.

Q) How do I know the mod is working?

A) Test the option with your headphone on and YOU'LL SEE THE DIFFERENCE!

Q) Do I have to flash the add-ons?

A) Nope, your choice. The actual mod has Beats EQ already.

Q) Have you tested this on a STOCK rom?

A) No I haven't. I only did this on WICKED ROM.

Enjoy your new mod and happy modding! :cool:

Beats EQ

First, Thanks to merchant2112 for finding this. I don't claim any of these work to be mines.

Second, I did installed it and ran it for several days before updating OP.

Beats EQ

Download link:

http://d-h.st/7Jm

Pre-Installation steps:

Ideally a fresh/clean install would be great, but...

A dirty flash over AC!D is OKAY. You would need to uninstalled Ac!d audio v5.0 or v7.0. Please uninstalled all the Ac!d audio app and any add-ons you might have (noozoixde, clear audio+, etc...).

***If you don't this will cause random restart. I used TiBu to wipe data and uninstalled.

Installation steps:

1. NANOID BACKUP!!!

2. Wipe dalvik and cache x2

3. Flash BMSound_Full_S4_LTE.Zip

4. Wipe dalvik and cache x2

5. Fix permission

6 Select BeatsEQ on your Setting>Sound>Music effects.

Test out all the setting and see what's best for your ears.

Note: Extreme is pretty extreme and some of the bass might be very distorted so consider that before going extreme.

ACID V7.0 2805 will flash fine n a wipe install of CM10.1 or any other AOSP such as Slim Rom etc. but it will kill Phone call audio. It only works on TW based roms. You must use ACID V5.0 optimized for Samsung roms on all AOSP roms so that Phone call audio works. They both sound great and our a huge improvement in audio quality in conjunction with PlayerPro with DSP Pack and PowerAmp. I am using Slim ROM V5.4 with Acid V5.0 and Phone call audio works perfect and audio quality with PlayerPro and 10 Band DSP Pack is as good as it gets and sounds just as good as Wicked V2 TW with ACID V7.0 2805 + Clearaudio.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jawang26:
Has anyone tried this one stock rom rooted? I need wifi calling...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Docmjldds:
I am using Acid V7 2805. on the Death Star V2 ROM posted here. My phone audio works perfectly. The only deviation I used from OP is when I went to the referenced site I had actually downloaded the AOSP 3 2802 file instead of the 2805 file. This was based on what I had read on that site. I then downloaded the correct 2805 AOSP3 file, flashed, wiped caches, fixed permissions and also used the Noozy apk reference in OP. Again, audio works perfectly for phone. I'm blown away by the sound quality and the shear loudness achieved when listening using my Monster Titanium Turbine Pro bud I bought almost 4 years ago. I use probably half dozen various music apps including PowerAmp Pro and all works perfectly on my S4. Just my own observations.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jaytee84:
What notification? I never heard of such before?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jaytee84:
Should be fine. Since wicked is base on stock just really debloated. You can test it and report back. Just do a nanoid backup and you'll be fine
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jaytee84:
I have no issues w call quality.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] hurtz777:
Because you are using a TW based rom. Try it on an AOSP rom and you will lose audio on calls.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jaytee84:
My s2 i tested both v5 n v7 n it was fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] hurtz777:
ACID V7 2805 kills phone audio on TMO Galaxy S4 which is where this thread is located. It worked fine on AOSP with my TMO Galaxy S3 though and sounded amazing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] detonate:
I apologize in advance for the noob questions.

What does it mean to fix permissions?

What are the differences between ClearAudio and Nooz?

My phone is rooted and running Wicked V2.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jaytee84:
In twrp "advanced" features there's a fix permission button use that.

The differences is interface and eq selection between nooz n clear.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] detonate:
So I have Acid Mod installed and some things I have noticed:

Noozy player is not made for our screen's resolution. It takes up about only 45% of the screen. I can't return to the playlist menu after selecting a song. To exit the program, i have to task kill it.

Awesome Beats does not work. Am I doing something wrong? I tried over and over with different music. Speaker and headphones.

I enable it, put effects to extreme, and there's no difference. Is there a notification when it's on? I also tried using the Awesome Beats equalizer, and that does not work.

I would like to compare the audio quality with and without this mod, so is there a way to turn off Acid Mod? I know that I can turn off/on the Acid Mod notifications, and when I do that, each time I turn it on, a notification pops up and says Acid Mod enabled. However, if I turn off the notification, is Acid Mod turned off?

I have OUDHS recovery and followed the steps in the OP to install.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jaytee84:
I recommend using twrp 2.5.0.0. I flashed it multiple times without a issue. Not to be rude but oudhs is a basic recovery and is base off cwm. Let me know if you run into any issue. This is why it is recommended to fix permission after a flash.

Suggestions is recover to previous backup n run twrp recovery to flash files.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] detonate:
I took your suggestions. I recovered my backup, installed TWRP recovery and followed the steps to install AcidMod. This time I didn't install any addons.

AcidMod does seem to increase the bass that the S4 was missing however Awesome Beats (app) still does nothing for me.

I tested Awesome Beats with both the stock music player and PowerAmp and it doesn't affect the audio at all. Can anyone confirm if Awesome Beats works for them?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jaytee84:
What rom are you using? Try putting on a headset to confirm? Try the add-on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jaytee84:
I'm not having any issues w stock music player (even using voice action) Spotify and ttpod. Did you goto setting/sound and choose the proper eq?

I recommend going to setting/sound Pick Awesome Beats

reboot phone and play with the setting.

Then mess with the preset. Range from "flat" to "bass booster" to see the change. If not flash the add-ons.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] G00DFe77a:
Awesome beats does not work for me. I tried various equalizer from the add on and the equalizer is not consistent. In fact most equalizer makes a hissing noise. I'm really just looking for a way to make sound louder and softer via home screen shortcut.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] detonate:
I've tried many times with Awesome Beats and I'm going to conclude that it does not work for me. Neither does ClearAudio+.

I've tested it with clean installs, following the directions to a T. I've tried adding in some extra Cache/Dalvik wipes and that didn't help. I've tried both ClearAudio+ and Noovy.

Is it because I'm flashing 2805 only? The installation instructions from the link in the OP:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1923630

states that 2802 should be installed first before 2805. So are we suppose to install 2802 first?

Maybe installing 2805 alone, for me, has had no effect on sound at all, and that what I thought was more bass was just all in my mind. I've restored my old system and without AcidMod, the sound might actually sound the same.

If it helps any, this is my phone specs: T-Mobile S4 (SGH-M919) with OTA MDL update, Rooted with Odin, using TWRP recovery, and flashed with Wicked V2 Rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jaytee84:
I notice this as well when I switch from different EQ without rebooting. Can you verify the same?

I'll flash both and let you know what I find. It could be the original build.prop wasn't build the handle the S4 hardware, but I'll come back with a finding.
