Touchwiz Mod

Just to share. I found this over in the Sprint S4 forum. There are some really nice mods for the Touchwiz Launcher at this links.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2316428

I am currently trying out the second download option in the MDL Download section. The one called.

4x5 Home Screen, 4x6 Apps, 3x4 Widgets, Page Indicator Above Bottom Icons

So far it looks like it is working very well. I really like having the extra row on the home screen. There are other mods there that can be tried but of course at your own risk.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jeffreii:
Looks like you have to be on stock Touchwiz launcher for that...eww...most of that customization can be done by Nova or other 3rd party launchers...along with hundreds of other features!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jai112:
that was a couple of days ago just got around to posting it so i don't remember the screen time but i think was around two and a half or three and i'm pretty much stock i don't mess with the cpu or any of that stuff screen set to auto and i use a app called greenify to hibernate apps i'm not using so a lot of apps are not running in the bg only the ones i have open and the ones the system needs
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pham818:

news brief 8-24-13

Hey guys, just wanted to go give everyone a heads up!!.. You may have seen MGC fw out there, but i want all the users here to know MGC is no Different Than MGA, I dont want to update this Rom for no reason and have you guys have to go thro the pia process of setting up a fresh instal that is nothing more than a *number change* for a different region !!

So ya, Im no being lazy!! If there is no reason to update, why make you guys do it for no reason? :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] freebee269:
hey ib4stid, is it possible to get the transparent accuweather widget to work with nova launcher? when you use nova launcher, the widget is not selectable in the widget drawer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
ya, it sucks u cant .. would be nice tho.. if anyone comes across anything tho let me know !
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jeffreii:
Download Eye in the Sky app. It has an even nicer weather widget imo.

EDIT: Very customizable too - see screenshot for mine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
thanks for that man!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] freebee269:
what?!? i have that app and didnt know it could be transparent! i'm gonna have to look at this again!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jeffreii:
Haha yeah it's not completely intuitive but go to the widget editor and choose background color. The long narrow bar near the bottom is for transparency. Slide that all the way to the right then press the --> Rectangle on the bottom right to apply it.

I cant seem to find the option to enable tye flashlight setting? Any ideas? It should be under display ya?

small update 8-25-13

- add-on added for sbeam with out having to install crappack!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] gho5t82:
These are the only options i have.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] AndroidPwnsMe:
iB4stid, do you mind also making a flashable for S-Voice as well?

Btw, LOVIN' your ROM!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] fukenbiker:
GoldenEye, the cure for flash-a-holics

Those are the only options I show as well. It's because I did not flash any "add on" in the OP. I do not want to flash any add ons. GoldenEye is the perfect rom for me. I use mini flashlight app from play store and keep it's icon in the bottom tray where I can always find it.

I would like to share how well TWRP works. I still show Baseband version ending in MDL, so when my charge port stopped working, I flashed the backup I made of my current setup on GoldenEye. I had selected all the boxes in TWRP when I made the backup. I flashed it to see if the charge port would start working again, but it had no effect. I will say however, the flash was flawless and the phone operates with no bugs and everything works great.

So knowing about the MF3 OTA, the last thing I wanted was a new phone, I want to keep MDL, so I set out to repair my problem of not being able to charge the battery. I've peeled handsets like this apart before, they are all of similar construction even though each device differs from another in detail. It snaps together like Legos.

There is a great YouTube tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5e3r_2N15c that was almost exactly identical to my S4.

I obtained a new charge port from Amazon for $14.99 peeled apart my S4, replaced the charge port, and snapped it all back together. Now it charges again, and the computer recognizes it again when I plug it into the desktop. I am happy as can be. Fixed it. Got to keep MDL and GoldenEye. In my opinion this is how a modern handset should work. Flawlessly with no bugs and no bloat.

It's my alarm clock, flashlight, telephone, computer, television/DVD/Cable box remote, GPS/maps, camera, camcorder, calculator, calendar, holy smokes I probably can't remember all I use it for. All that stuff in one handset. I can not imagine an improvement that would enhance it's usefulness beside adding a pocket knife blade to the case!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] obriane217:
Then it didn't install right then. Make sure you check md5 and your flashing correct zip in recovery. :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jeffreii:
As mentioned above, reflash the TorchLight zip and check MD5 first. I attached a screenshot of what you should see in the settings.

EDIT: If that still doesn't work for some reason, it's pretty damn easy to manually enable it if you have Nova or Apex launcher (and I'm sure many other utilities can do the activities shortcut). See this thread (post #1 is the hard way, post #2 is the EASY way):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2355931

Haha nice work dude - you have more balls than me taking apart the phone. I build computers but at least those are meant to be taken apart and assembled by people like me! Well done.

Oh and as far as improvements go, don't forget a screwdriver to go with that pocket knife!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] gho5t82:
I got it to work. I missed the zip in the add-on section.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] fukenbiker:
phone repair

Peeling apart the S4 was not as problematic as some handsets. The first one I tried a couple years ago, was to replace a cracked screen on the Samsung Infuse. I severed a cellophane containing 3 conductors with my thumbnail. I still finished the job, in order to learn what that thin strip was all about. Turned out it was for the external speaker, and one of the button backlights. The button still worked, and everything worked except without an external speaker, the phone made for a lousy alarm clock.

If you work on computers, you'll have no trouble learning how to peel apart phones. I suspect it was a steeper learning curve for me, than it would be for you.

As far as knives and screwdrivers, I will point out that my favorite is the "Leatherman Wave". The tiny phillips in that multitool worked perfect for taking apart my phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] WoodburyMan:
Will be giving your ROM another go :).

Have been running on CM10.2 / 4.3 for a bit but I will be going on vacation and don't want to have to about APN's and such and I require the "Extra Sensitive" screen setting stock-based roms have to use with my underwater case I got :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
nice! the fish will be jealous of ur s4 :p

I love how this ROM barely uses any RAM. I rarely see it go over half of the total RAM on the phone.

I have never had this good of battery life in any rom before.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] EpicMango:
So guys....

I flashed 2 things today, the battery mod v1, and the CRT off screen animation...

so I'm using my phone while its charging and I notice that the scrolling is QUITE a bit less responsive....it feels QUITE a bit heavier so inertia based scrolls where you flick and let it scroll are quite a bit slower and heavier....

And there is more latency between the actual touch input and the selection...

As soon as I unplug it, its back to its regular self.........

any thoughts..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] fukenbiker:
no add ons

I made many words already, perhaps you're familiar, I flashed this GoldenEye Rom with no add ons and I'm happy. It's zippy and fully functional and "Watch On" is something I tolerate from the Play Store so I can enjoy having a universal remote. If I could improve anything about my handset, it would be to get rid of the Watch On Bloat. I do not need to be able to do anything but mute the Ellen show when I get home from work. I could care less about it's TV Guide functions as I don't watch TV. I do like having control of it. Add "remote" to the list of things that can clear off the night stand.

This handset running it's MDL baseband version, and the LTE/4G speed here in LA wakes me up in the morning and there is no alarm clock on the night stand. This thing is more than my phone. It's my computer.

I'm "online".

It's my flashlight (you don't need to flash the add on) Just say no to add ons. Bow your head and shade your eyes with a hand to the "crap pack". (love that name)

GoldenEye rocks. Nine ways to Sunday. I am a recovering "flashaholic" fan of Cyanogenmod that thought it was cool to have a wonky camera and FC on Bluetooth.

There's my thoughts, and hopefully inspires your own, rather than persuade.

Screen Mirroring

Hi Guys

Has anybody used Screen Mirroring option succesfuly with this ROM? I have tried using it and it connects and hear the sound of whatever is being played on the phone on the TV but no image. What i get on the TV is an error saying HDCP not supported by the enabled device. Any luck anybody?

Thanks

Thanks! Downloaded the second one as well and it was exactly what I was looking for. So far so good!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jeffreii:
Don't use stock launcher! Download Nova Launcher. Even the free version is awesome.

To be fair, Apex Launcher is great too...and there are some other great ones too. Most allow you to change the number of icons allowed on the home screen and other places.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
mga maybe the issue than .. try MDOB if its an important feature for u , that is a mf3 based rom.. sammy could have changed something in the mga fw not playing nicely:good:

yes sir

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
ya, right now im running kangabean.. the nexus 4 is gone so , it gets me by.. but im always switching back to Goldeneye :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pham818:
im tempted to try that rom! is it smoother than goldeneye because its stock? do you miss the touch wiz features?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
well, i never used the tw stuff.. i do like adapt sound.. but besides that i never really was into the gimmicks, there nice to have, but for me im very minimal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jeffreii:
I'm bummed! Watch Espn app just got updated for the 2nd time in as many months and still FC's on opening with Goldeneye! Damn!

Still an awesome ROM but it's making me lean towards trying Kangabean and MDOB, if I could just get a day off from work to do it lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
ya, just make a nandroid backup, and give one of them a try.. u could always restore if you want :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] freebee269:
i like your kangabean rom also, but i dont like that i cant add apps to the lock screen circle. guess i'm spoiled from aosp roms. also i didnt see an option to set up a pin for the lock screen to make my device more secure. that's kind of a deal breaker for me also. so i stick with your goldeneye rom because it's smooth, has lock screen pin option, has the camera UI that i find myself loving and has the most addons of all your roms. i'd be interested to see what you could do with an aosp rom. but i know you already got alot of work trying to maintain these 3 roms in this section.

only thing i wish goldeneye had was screenshot from power menu! *hint
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] angle409:
I wonder, when on AT&T network, do goldeneye and MDOB have the same signal reception? Since Goldeneye is international rom and MDOB is an AT&T rom, could it be that MDOB has better reception on AT&T's network?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rfb813:
No both have the same reception and speed tests for LTE.

I have an i337M with Rogers in Canada. What are the kernels available to me? I've seen some referencing to T-Mobile kernels so I'm really not sure where the line is drawn when it comes to cross-compatibility between the kernels of these variants. Can somebody point me in the right direction?

Reason I need a custom kernel is because my Wifi doesn't work, even with the fix.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] freebee269:
you could always back up your data in recovery. then reinstall the rom. dont recover data yet. boot into the rom and see if it still does it. if it does then that's just the rom itself. if not then you know you changed a settings somewhere. then you can recover your data in recovery but that may put the setting back to where it was when you had your issue.

Hi iB4STID

I have been reading on why Miracast/wifi mirroring does not work on this Rom. What I have found is that any rooted or moded TW rom will break this feature producing the HDCP message beign displayed on the TV. The only way I found for it to work was to basicaly go back to unrooted stock TW. This is unaceptable!!!!! And I read that it would also work if you are on rooted stock TW but by doing the Triangle Away procedure. Still unaceptable.

Can you be kind enough to look into this. As this is a nice feature to have; mirroring your display to an external TV. But without loosing the ability to be on one of your roms.

Thanks

Quick question: I'm running a basic GoldenEye config with no mods except the AOSP browser. I just noticed that my phone no longer has swipe to unlock. PIN unlock works normally, but if the PIN timeout has not yet occurred, then the screen goes live as soon as I wake the phone with the power/home button. Is this "normal" for this rom, or something that I messed up? Thanks
