Ok, got the 5x6 home screen done. Download and preview in the OP.

It was tough getting everything packed in there :p

A piece of advice: If you try the 5x6 and don't like it, before you flash back to 4x5, move or resize any icons or widgets that will no longer fit. Say you have something in column 5, row 6, either move or remove it. You can put it back later. I say this because the google search bar was in column 5 when I flashed back to 4x5 screen and if I tried to move it, Touchwiz forced closed. Had to flash back to 5x6 and move it. No damage done, just a hassle.

Try it and let me know what you think.

Your Mod was featured on XDA TV. Thank you

Just curious how many people are using the 5x6 home screen.

Those of you that have tried it, any issues? Widgets seem to work ok?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] HassanM:
Im on Omega v10 - XWUBMG1 ; Baseband i9500DDUBMF8

Plz I was looking for 4x4, 5x5, 3×4 w/ Scrolling off

Plz try to make one...

Thanks in advance...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] fgr:
Ok, I downloaded an I9500 rom and used the files from it to make this:

Link Removed.

Note that is is the SecLauncher3.apk, you will have to push it to the phone with adb (preferred) or copy it to /system/app with Root Explorer or equivalent. I would also fix permissions after sending it to your phone.

I don't know if the languages will be there or not. I have no way of testing it.

Let me know how it goes. If it's ok, I'll put it in the OP.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] HassanM:
Thanks mate... Downloaded it , Pushed it and set the permissions (644)... Working fine but couple of issues...

- Icon sizes are as before... I belive if u could reduce the icon sizes a little bit, itll be much better

- TW seems to crash specially when trying to edit the Home screen...

- A little bit of problem with widgets...

I believe little bit of fine tuning is required. .. Reducing the Icons size will give it a very good look...

Other than that keep it up... Good job!

@fgr

For your reference Ive posted a screenshot from my S3 i9300 ... It has 5x5 App drawer with reduced size icons... It was a mod by one of the XDA members...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] fgr:
Stock was 48, I reduced it to 40. Try it and let me know.

This is nearly impossible for me to fix without having one of these phones. I don't know what I can do...

Here is the apk with the reduced icons, give it a try:

SecLauncher3.apk version 2 Link removed.

Be sure to rename the file from SecLauncher3_v2.apk to SecLauncher3.apk before installing !!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] HassanM:
Ok mate let me try it and get back to u...

---------- Post added at 09:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 PM ----------

@fgr

Excellent work!!!! Just wanna give u 2 more suggestions... Hope theyre not too hard to implement... Just took a screenshot of my phone your mod... Have a look at it.. Itll be easier for u to understand what im saying...

The icons size it perfect.... If u could reduce the space between the rows a little bit it will indeed look very nice... I mean theres alot of empty space between the rows... Have a look at the image in Post # 131... Secondly if u could reduce the Snapduration time to about 350 - 400 ms , it will make the TW snappy... I believe the default time is 550 ms...

Rest is all perfect.... Great job!!! Keep it up!!:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] fgr:
Oops, snap duration just slipped my mind. I have started doing that on all variations...

I'm a little confused on the spacing. If the icons are moved closer together, that will leave quite a bit of unused space at the bottom. Is that ok?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] HassanM:
Hi mate...

If u look at the post # 131 ull have an idea... I believe if u look at the image it also has some unused space at the bottom but thrust me it looks perfert...

I believe Snap Duration of 350ms will be good.. It will be snappier yet it will be smooth as well keeping in mind that default is set at 550ms.. What do u think in your expert opinion??

Im online ... if u need any more opinion/suggestion...

By the way your mod is running perfect... Very smooth ... Excellent work... Keep it up...:thumbup:

Edit: Also what about moving the Page indicator on Home Screen below the stock icons??? It was just a wild thought giving your mod kinda different look...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] fgr:
Ok, moved them together a little more, and the snap duration is at 300 (that's what I use for myself).

[MENTION=863124]fgr[/MENTION]

Great!!! Let me download and try it... Will be back in 5...

---------- Post added at 02:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:50 AM ----------

[MENTION=863124]fgr[/MENTION]

Mate its really good... Very snappy... But looking at it esthetically, I believe u should bring the top row a little bit down... Rather than moving the bottom row upward (like u just did) try moving the top row little bit down... I believe the same space u used in the bottom row moving up.... Or a slightly more...

I mean move the bottom row to where it was and move the top row downward instead ...

Until later... Take care...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] pathtologos:
What's in this version 3? What I mean is along with speeding up the page transition, which mod is this--the 5x6, the 4x5, etc.?

I just downloaded the 5x6 with 3x4 widgets, and scrolling wallpaper (I LOVE IT). I'm just wondering if my package also had the mod to speed up the page transitions. I'd love to see them flip faster.

Thanks to the OP. Nice job.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] fgr:
It's kind of a custom job for the international versions of these phones (I9500). Don't use it for your phone. I'll go back and edit the post to label it as such.

I'll look and see if the 5x6, 3x4 has the faster page transitions. If it doesn't, I'll update it.

I'm just guessing at numbers, so if it's still not right, give me a screenshot so I can see how far things moved with the current changes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] HassanM:
Amazing work mate... Well done....

Icons size looks perfect... Very well aligned ... I think ure good to go lauching the "fgr Launcher";)

Just couple of suggestions...

- I believe uve set Snap Duration to 300ms... I think u should try it at 350ms...

- On the Home screen can u move the page indicator below the Stock icons?? Im sure it'll look better that way...

Rest is all set...

Great Job.....:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] HassanM:
PERFECT!!!!!!:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Looks awsome.... Very snappy yet very smooth...

Congratulations mate!!!! I believe a new TW SecLauncher is ready to be rolled out...

If u need any more opinion or suggestions, plz feel free... By the way which app/ software do u use editing the xml files????
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] fgr:
Glad you like it.

To edit these, I use apktool to decompile and notepad++ to edit the xml's.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] HassanM:
Thanks mate....

Indeed I liked it... Uve dont a wonderful job...

As for editing the xml files, the reason I asked is because im trying to learn all this myself... Who knows one day I might assist u in something...;)

By the way which 2 xmls correspond to icons size and snap duration i.e. if u dont mind telling...

Anyway thanks again....

Until later...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] fgr:
Go HERE, and at the bottom of the OP is a zip you can download that has my notes on what I have changed.

There is one file called SecLauncher3 Edits and Other Info.docx that shows what all the values are that need to be changed. The numbers it show are the stock values, and not everything has to be changed depending on what setup you want to make.

The other files are specific to the individual setups and have just what needs to be changed and what the value should be changed to.

In the OP of this thread, there is a link to a thread created by Toss3 which is where I learned how to do this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] HassanM:
Thanks mate.... Appreciate it....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] HassanM:
Hi mate... I used your info and tried to modify the integers xml... I decompiled it and edited the snap animation to 400... But some how when I try to recompile it, it gives me an error... Its really driving me crazy... Dont know whats wrong... Attached is the screenshot of it...

If u can kindly have a look and tell me what might be going wrong???

You can enlarge it and im sure ull figure it out in a sec...

Would appreciate your help...

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] fgr:
Ok, you probably didn’t load some resources before trying this, so do this:

1)	Pull your framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk from the /system/framework folder on your phone and put them in the apktool folder (same folder where you put SecLauncher3.apk) on your computer.

2)	Pull SystemUI.apk from /system/app and put it in the apktools folder.

3)	Open a command prompt and go to the apktools folder.

4)	Type "apktool if framework-res.apk" (no quotes)

5)	Type apktool if twframework-res.apk

6)	Type apktool if SystemUI.apk

7)	After each command it will say something like “framework installed to: c:\(some directories here)\1.apk. Twframework will be 2.apk and SystemUI will be 127.apk. Apktool pulls info from these files that it needs to compile the launcher (and almost any other system app you may edit). You only have to do this once no matter how may times you edit the Launcher file.

8)	Now I would start over by decompiling SecLauncher3.apk again.

9)	Without making any changes, recompile SecLauncher3.apk. You may get some warnings, I always do, but the apk should build and will be in the folder c:\apktools\SecLauncher\dist (we are doing this just to make sure you can recompile it and run it successfully)

10)	WAIT, not done yet. The file needs to be signed before you can push it back to the phone. Unfortunately, we can’t sign them, so…

11)	Rename the original SecLauncher3.apk that you decompiled to SecLauncher3.zip

12)	Open it and select the META-INFO folder AND the AndroidManifest.xml file.

13)	Extract them to c:\apktools\SecLauncher3\build\apk folder. Overwrite any files when asked.

14)	Now recompile it again, exactly like you did in step 9. Apktool b SecLauncher. The first time you compiled it, it should have taken awhile, this time it will go very quick.

15)	Take the file in the \dist folder and push it to the phone and see if it works.

16) If it does work, go back and edit the files you want and recompile it. Copy the meta-info and androidmanifest files to the build\apk folder and recompile. Should be good to go now. Note that any time you make changes and recompile you have to copy these files over and recompile a second time.

After looking at your screenshot, I see you called your folder android, so anywhere I say apktools (what I called my folder) you should put android. There may be other slight differences between our folder structures, but hopefully you can figure that out pretty easily.

I learned a lot of this from a thread HERE. It is for an HTC phone (which I had many of), but it works the same, only the names are different. (they use com.htc.resources.apk instead of twframework-res.apk, things like that.)

All the info you need is here on XDA. Sometimes it's a little hard to find, but it's here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] HassanM:
Thanks alot mate... Really appreciate your help and concern...

Ill definitely try to edit one of the files with your instructions. ... The only thing im dreading is if decompile/recompile and push it in my phone, if at all its not done properly whats gonna happen to my phone - not booting, bootloops etc etc... U know what I mean...

Actually I wanted to edit and change the snap animation from 350 to 400 in your SecLauncher3_v5.apk...

I could have requested u to do it but ill try myself and if im unable to do it then ill probably request u....

Nonetheless im gonna still try it and hope that all goes well...

Thanks again...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] fgr:
ALWAYS save a copy of your original...

Any problems, just push it back.

Hi mate... I just noticed in your v5 that on the home screen the Apps icon seems to be larger in size than the other 4 stock icons... Moreover the text "Apps" is not even aligned with the other 4...

Attached is the screenshot... Can u plz look into it...

Thanks...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] fgr:
It's like that on all versions...

That icon is unique and doesn't resize like the others. I have not been able to find out why. I think it is part of another program. I would also like to move it to the center, but haven't figured that out either.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] HassanM:

Hi mate ... Alls well with u...

Can u plz change 1 value in your v5??

- Snap animation from 350 to 400

By the way, ive been comparing the integers/dimens xmls from my s3 with ones u have on the v5 and trying to figure out the difference between the Apps icon size in both of them... If u want I can send u the file for your consumption i.e if u feel like comparing them... If u wan I can send u the decompiled seclauncher from s3 or which ever file u want I can do that...

Until later... Take care

With your reference to my previous post... Ive attached a screenshot from my S3 with Icon size of 44 dip... In case u wanted to have a look at it... The Apps Icon seems to be pretty much the same size compared with the rest of the 4 stock icons...

Thanks Scott for your Help !

I have been looking for a fix for international Roms So I can run them on my Note II from Verizon

Several Roms out there for the Note II but not a lot of them unless they are Verizon Versions on the Software Some of the VZW Apps Don't work properly This should Fix the GPS Issue you might ran into.

It does two things, moves the VZW lib files over for GPS and it also should fix the volume levels in some apps that are low...

GPS fix file :http://www.scottsroms.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1309&d=1366957564

Make Sure to Check out ScottsRoms Website http://www.scottsroms.com/content.php?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Lodingi:
Thanks for posting this thread. I'm sure it will benefit many who suffer. I haven't had any GPS issues on any rom I flashed. Is it possible Samsung used GPS chips from different vendors?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] andrewjt19:
Have you tried getting a gps lock on another ROM, done a nandroid, re flashed desired ROM? Usually this fixes it. Or if you toggle between LTE/CDMA and Global under the Wireless & Networks this too sometimes helps.

---------- Post added at 01:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 PM ----------

So does this mean that an International ROM could be flashed followed by this and then the modem plus kernel?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Davidson3680:
Yes, I would say so I would flash Rom,Kernel,modem the boot up then go back in to recovery and flash the rom worked for me :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Davidson3680:
Yes, I would say so I would flash Rom,Kernel,modem the boot up then go back in to recovery and flash rom worked for me.

If it Doesn't I Flash Beans then use root uninstaller to back up the maps apk and stick it on your EXTSDCARD and go to recovery and wipe everything flash International Rom and the go to ES File Explorer and hit the menu button and go to tools/root explorer/Mount R/W and mount all RW NOT RO then go into the ES Explorer and go to Local and EXTSDCARD Then restore the Gmaps and it will ask to overwrite and say yes to all. Then reboot the Phone. When the Note II reboots then go to the Google Store and pick up GPS test its free and you can reset the AGPS and Update the AGPS Signals GO out side and get your Signal. If this doesn't work Try to Flash the Scotts GPS test Patch and should help. FYI I have had issues with the Global Mode popping up a lot and I went into the settings/more settings/Mobile Networks/Network Mode and change to LTE/CDMA and then if you get Updating Sim Card info a lot at the bottom of the Screen Set it back to Global and should fix but you will still get the Switch to Global mode Message More I am still stuck how to fix that issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] andrewjt19:
So that's awesome. Pretty much we are fair game to flash international roms? That great! Definitely will try it out.

Edit: Sounds funny but where is the International thread here at xda? Or is there one?

Maybe Try it but most of the time I believe it would work but could need some other Verizon Libs.etc to work properly
