[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] WizeGuyDezignz:
Hey guys, I thought I would share this MOD with everyone here on the AT&T forum. I came over to AT&T from Verizon and I had the S4 while I was there. Anyhow, there was a ROM named Hyperdrive and the TW launcher performance was unmatched.

A big thanks to @sbreen94 who is the Verizon dev who hacked this launcher for his ROM, Hyperdrive. I received full permission from him to post this MOD.

This is the stock TW 4x4 launcher (with infinite scroll) which he hacked for insane speed, and it's very noticeable. Just try it and you will agree. This should work on any TW ROM. I have used it on AT&T, International and T-Mobile based ROM's that I've flashed since I've been on AT&T with no problems at all. Be sure to go over to sbreen94's Hyperdrive ROM thread to thank him if you like this.

This hacked launcher is based on Android 4.2.2 JB TW I545VRUAMDK, Verizon S4 firmware. Please note that after you do this, some widgets may disappear. You will have to simply re-add them.

**UPDATE 8-14** I have added the AT&T hacked launcher based on MF3 which was hacked by sbreen94 to #1 of install instructions.

Install Instructions:

1. Download THIS (or THIS which is the AT&T hacked launcher based on MF3)

2. Make a Nandroid backup just in case you bork something during this process

3. Use Root Explorer or your favorite root file explorer and navigate to ROOT>system>app and find SecLauncher3.apk (depending on the ROM, it can also be named Launcher.apk, etc)

4. To be safe, rename SecLauncher3.apk to SecLauncher3.apk.bak (that will essentially kill the file, but make it revivable by removing .bak from the file name if anything goes wrong or if you want to go back to the former launcher)

5. Move or copy over the hacked SecLauncher3.apk that you downloaded from step #1 into your ROOT>system>app folder

6. Change permissions of the hacked SecLauncher3.apk that you downloaded from step #1 to rw-r--r--

7. Reboot & profit

**DISCLAIMER** Neither sbreen94 or I are responsible for any damage that you cause to your phone during this process or if your dog eats your phone and makes it irreplacable.

Enjoy! :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] bigblue95z:
Awesome! I've got Hyperdrive on my Note 10.1. This hack is really nice! D/l-ing now!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] c0ldburn3r:
What base was the launcher made from? Just curious since the MF3 base has a semi transparent status bar.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] AxAtAx:
Oh boy, I luz me the speed, gonna try right now....thanks my friend...good one...what is it 4x5 5x6?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] WizeGuyDezignz:
Android 4.2.2 JB TW I545VRUAMDK from the Verizon S4. Sorry that I didn't mention that in the OP, I will add it now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] c0ldburn3r:
Thanks! I'm not sure of the other bases will have this but mf3 base will fc setting a lock screen background. Minor inconvenience when considering the speed of this thing!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] WizeGuyDezignz:
Yeah, it's quick man! From the OP, it is 4x4. :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] AxAtAx:
hehe I'm stupid, got so excited that I completely skipped over that part...:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] bigblue95z:
Seems to be working fine with Goldeneye.... Although 2 widgets disappeared but others didn't.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] WizeGuyDezignz:
No problem man, lol. I would recommend renaming and adding .bak to your current SecLauncher3.apk just in case you want to go back. But I don't see why you would want to! :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] WizeGuyDezignz:
Yeah some widgets may go away, so you will have to re-add them after you do this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Russ77:
does this work on stock/odexed roms? what do I do with seclauncher3.odex?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] tavito05:
All I have to say is wow. WOW. amazingly smooth , thanks for this mod OP.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] jetlitheone:
Sweet I gotta try this one out later :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] carlospr21:
Thanks will try :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] WizeGuyDezignz:
Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I would replace the main file with this one and just leave the odex file. It's worth a try and let me know!

No problem man, when I left Verizon I was missing this so much and now I can't flash without it lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Russ77:
yep, tried that. works great.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] WizeGuyDezignz:
Awesome! If you try and like it, let me know if you want to incorporate it into your ROM. I will ask for permission or I suppose you could as well. :thumbup:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] sbreen94:
If you guys would like me to mod the newer based ATT Launcher with transparent status bar, someone post the deodexed apk file (SecLauncher3.apk and i will do it! :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] jetlitheone:
Definitely ! I'll let you know I have an idea of what this does. Something I was gonna do myself. Genius ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] WizeGuyDezignz:
There he is, the man himself! Dude, if you could do this for us, that would be amazing!! :thumbup:

If you could port your ROM over to us lowly AT&T folks, even better! :p:D:thumbup::thumbup:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] carlospr21:
here you go semi transparent statusbar twlauncher for you to mod

http://www.mediafire.com/?85sb9nqm4sxx240
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] WizeGuyDezignz:
Thanks for posting this for him bro, this would be sweet!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] carlospr21:
no problem glad to help out a little

gave his launcher a test run and i love the speed

---------- Post added at 02:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:57 AM ----------

i hope he does port this to and official mf3 att build at least ill test run it if he does
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] WizeGuyDezignz:
I actually did flash his Verizon Hyperdrive ROM on my AT&T S4 with an AT&T kernel and it did run. I'm just always afraid it's gonna bork something so I flashed something else. If he ported it, you guys would love it! It's such an amazing ROM! :thumbup:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] sbreen94:
I am planning to and could use some competent testers so if you have some time to test and feel you fit the bill pm or email me :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] sbreen94:
Alright guys, here you go, Hacked att launcher! Hit the Thanks button if you appreciate :) I'm okay if people would like to include this in your rom, but just give credit ;)

Enjoy the fast speeds !

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] :
This hack works on the S4 active. Thanks for posting.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] pupochek:
Works fast on MF3 based ATT S4, no infinite scroll though...

:good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] sbreen94:
That's a feature you need to enable in csc in feature.xml. Not the launcher
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] WizeGuyDezignz:
Count me in brother! I would love to do testing for it and provide any type of support that you need. Just hit me up when ready!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] WizeGuyDezignz:
He's exactly right... Go into ROOT>system>csc and open the feature.xml file in a text editor and scroll down to where it says disable page rotation.

By default it will say true... Just change it to false, save and reboot the phone. Voila!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] KennyG123:
Mods and hacks really belong in either General or Themes and Apps

If the code was posted and development work shown then it would be OK in development

Thread moved

Thanks

FNM
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] pupochek:
FWIW, adding this (mine did not have the line at all):

<CscFeature_Launcher_DisablePageRotation>false</CscFeature_Launcher_DisablePageRotation>

to feature.xml section related to the launcher did absolutely nothing.:confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] sbreen94:
I'll post what you need to put to get full looping later tonight :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] chavesdo8:
That's fantastic.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] ddre73:
Using this with the Goldeneye ROM and Wow!!! My GS4 fly's.

Thanks for this
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] chavesdo8:
Same here. Wow
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] shadowfiber:
What exactly does this do? Is it just code changes to make the differences? Does it OC the CPU? What is the magic?!

:silly::good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] chavesdo8:
A lot of things. Try it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] shadowfiber:
I like to know what mods do before I install them. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] phobia09:
Sorry guys, noob here. I just wanted to confirm; I'm rooted on stock MF3 OTA. Has anyone else in the same boat confirmed this works?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] chavesdo8:
Yes, It is.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] abendroidx:
Will this work on other device like the one in my sig?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] carlospr21:
i made them both into a flashable zip for everyone to flash easy

Hyperdrive RLS7 Modded Version the one on the OP

AT&T MF3 Modded Version and the new one for att build
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] sbreen94:
I wave my dev wand over it. That's the magic :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] shadowfiber:
I don't want to install something that could potentially damage it :( I usually tend to stay away from OCing my device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] carlospr21:
Are you goin to do the full loopong on the att version
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] sbreen94:
It doesn't oc your device or do anything that will harm it I promise
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] sbreen94:
Yes here is the correct line you need for feature.xml. This is for verizon btw but i think its the same for att :)

<CscFeature_Launcher_DisablePageRotation>false</CscFeature_Launcher_DisablePageRotation>
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] pupochek:
Yep, it enables the looping on the homescreens and in the app drawer. I wonder what enables wallpaper scrolling :cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] blyndfyre:
Any chance you can work your magic and modify a version for us Canadians? I337M on MG1 modem. I'm running the latest GOLDENEYE rom however, so will it work with that regardless of my modem/radio? Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] kalel0817:
the looping

What exactly does the looping do? I put the line in feature.xml but haven't noticed a difference. Perhaps I put it in the wrong place.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Another thing, the launcher from the op works great, but the att launcher doesn't work. No idea why, maybe it interferes with something else I'm

Running.

Many thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] custo:
The mod works on any touchwiz rom
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] blyndfyre:
I noticed an AT&T specific build so that is why I asked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] carlospr21:
Im running the att version and it works great
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] sbreen94:
yes this function in enabled in the launcher itself

You need to edit that line in feature.xml to look like that. Not add it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] sleze:
Ok...I downloaded the file, renamed the old file, moved the downloaded file and fixed the permissions. After rebooting, I lost the launcher and get the following message:

"Unfortunately, TWH has stopped."

I was dead in the water until I was able to use my status bar (which was flakey) to enter settings and I removed the default function of TWH. Hit home and selected TWH Easy and was able to get back into Root Explorer and restored the original SecLauncher3.apk.

I use a rooted S4A with MF3. Not exactly sure why this happened but DEFINATELY back up the old file before you play.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] kalel0817:
I can't even find that line to edit it. Thank you though.

---------- Post added at 05:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:37 PM ----------

It happened to me too, using the AT&T hacked launcher, but the one from the op worked fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] pupochek:
Nope, it is not enabled in the launcher itself (wallpaper scrolling, I mean). Hence my question.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] sbreen94:
Lol wallpaper scrolling is enabled in the seclauncher3.apk itself. I can assure you that ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] shadowfiber:
I think there are a few miscommunications happening in this thread; maybe we can clarify a bit.

I know myself and a few others are reporting the looping CSC feature to not exist in features.xml. Thus, we assumed by adding the string it would do something, and we're reporting it doesn't. People are asking what it does, because they do not know and want to learn; I added the string and didn't see any change; sbreen stated adding the string doesn't do anything, so I assume this could be a "feature" that isn't available on certain firmwares.

In addition, wallpaper scrolling on custom wallpapers I can report isn't functioning as well; I assume this feature is the ability to swipe left and right on the home screen and your wallpaper moves a tad with it to give the illusion of moving wallpaper. Out of the box, I can report this doesn't function as well; as others are saying.

I appreciate the dev's work; hopefully this can clarify what I think a few users are experiencing so we can hash out the bugs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] pupochek:
To clarify, I added <CscFeature_Launcher_DisablePageRotation>false</CscFeature_Launcher_DisablePageRotation> line to my feature.xml, it was NOT there at all. After that looping on the homescreens and in the app drawer started working (did NOT work before this manipulation of feature.xml), but wallpaper scrolling does NOT work. I am using the launcher attached in this thread for AT&T MF3.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] mrnovanova:
Can somebody explain to me when the insane speed kicks in? Is there an extra step other than installing the apk. I installed fine but my launcher is no faster then the original one I still get scrolling lag, I still get animation lag when I open folders. It's pretty much the exact same thing.

Galaxy s4 sgh-i337m on Alpha s4 6.0
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] pupochek:
I don't have any lag, but I did not have it before installing this "mod". I honestly can not see the difference...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] WizeGuyDezignz:
What do you mean you installed the apk? Which steps did you take? You should definitely see a speed increase in scrolling homescreens, it's not a placebo effect.

The animation lag of opening folders is a totally different animal. This won't help that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] mrnovanova:
Yeah I followed your steps from the op everything worked but as far as noticing a difference goes. There isn't any at all.

Carried by a Raven
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] WizeGuyDezignz:
Hmm so bizarre, I notice an instant difference. Did you install the AT&T one or the one from the op? Which rom are you running?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] mrnovanova:
The one from the op. But I am running Alpha s4 the launcher might have been modded already.

Carried by a Raven
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] WizeGuyDezignz:
Oh ok, maybe it is modded already. Sorry it didn't work out for you!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] WizeGuyDezignz:
I updated the OP with the AT&T hacked launcher that sbreen94 set up for us in #1 of the install instructions. That way people don't have to dig through the thread for it. :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] carlospr21:
I post a easy flash for every one a few post back

Hyperdrive RLS7 Modded Version the one on the OP

AT&T MF3 Modded Version and the new one for att build
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] WizeGuyDezignz:
Awesome, thanks! I will put these in the OP later tonight or tomorrow if you don't mind.

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] shadowfiber:
Is it normal on reboot to have "android is upgrading, starting apps" .

It does this every reboot since changing the launcher.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] WizeGuyDezignz:
That is not normal. That should only happen on the first boot after you change the launcher. Which launcher did you use? The original Verizon one that I posted or the AT&T one?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] shadowfiber:
The AT&T one. I am going to change it back and see if the issue goes away.

Edit: Confirmed: Issue gone on the old launcher.

Any solution?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] WizeGuyDezignz:
Hmm, that's odd. Anyone else having this issue?

I will let sbreen94 answer this question since he is the one who hacked it and has much more knowledge than me about it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] blyndfyre:
Try going settings_more_security and make sure "verify apps" is unchecked.

Having this checked on a few custom roms caused the upgrading at every reboot for me in the past.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] shadowfiber:
I attempted your solution, it did not change the outcome; it still states android is upgrading on every reboot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] WizeGuyDezignz:
Let me just say that you guys are in for a huge treat soon. That is all I will say at the moment. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] shadowfiber:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Mf4466:
hello dere fellow AT&T users I just wanted to know does this mod work on the gs4 m919 T-Mobile version??? :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] idrummer:
Does this work for rooted MDL, stock rom as well??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] LuRock:
I love the speed but I hate that it takes away from the smoothness of the transitions. :rolleyes:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] WizeGuyDezignz:
Just to throw a bone, you can believe me when I say that the delay isn't for the lack of trying. I have been testing for the last week or so. We are making progress but there is currently a big bug that we need to squash before release.

Stay tuned...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] thachosenone:
Any chance we can get this launcher with a 4x5 homescreen configuration? That would be awesome. :) Thanks!

Unfortunately, WizeGuyDezignz decided to sell his s4 because he got sick of Samsung or perhaps it was just touchwiz... well... He got sick of the lag (stutters and microstutters?).

So... my guess is we will never see that update. :(
[Sony Xperia ZL] Peanutboy:
so, as the title says, my zl was fine on friday...then when i woke up on saturday it was totally discharged...so i went and tried to charge...to my surprise all seemed normal until the screen, instead of showing the little battery icon in the middle of it, just rebooted...The phone kept doing that for a lot of time and i was losing my mid...until out of nowhere, in started normally (it had done that previously) BUT THIS TIME, the pc recognized it, and the phone showed that it was CONNECTED to something (the previous times, it didn't...it said 1% AND NOTHING about "connected" or "charging") of course i took that chance and it charged successfully up to 100%. Everything was fine, i could even use it today....BUT then again, the battery showed 5% left...i was about to charge it...and out of nowhere it went to 0% and shut itself down...and then the same started to happen....red led on the bottom...sony showing...screen stays grey....restart. I managed to get into the normal screen...but no to make it "connect". I can't flash, because if i try to flash anything the pc doesn't recognize the flashmode, and can't mount usb storage.

Anything i could do? ( i have 3 different USB cables, and 2 chargers...so i'm pretty sure it's a bug with the battery)

I'm on Stock ROM from Existenz .423.

Thanks in advance :'( i'm desperate
[Sony Xperia ZL] butatx:
Can you explain in structure paragraph? I got confuse reading your essay. So if i understand correctly you can not enter flashmode, so you can not flash anything?

Do you use flashtool? When you open flashtool while connecting your device, do flashtool recognise it?
[Sony Xperia ZL] Peanutboy:
exactly, i can't flash because flashtool doesn't recognise the device...the phone shows a red led signal, instead of a green one.

Right now, i have the phone in normal state, connected to the pc, and it says "connect to the charger"...so i don't know what's wrong.
[Sony Xperia ZL] butatx:
Have you check all drivers need for your device? Do you install PC Companion?
[Sony Xperia ZL] Peanutboy:
checked and checked...everything is set so that the phone should be recognised...but it just doesn't.
[Sony Xperia ZL] butatx:
Have you try this;

1) Switch off the phone

2) Press "volume down" and hold

3) Put he USB cable in.

Do You see driver installation dialog running in windows? wait until it finishes.

4) Start the flashtool

5) Flash the ROM.

Or try downloading SEUS and run it.

Do you install the latest version of flashtool?
[Sony Xperia ZL] Peanutboy:
When i do that, the pc says "device not recognised"...and it shows a red light
[Sony Xperia ZL] butatx:
Try remove all drivers related with your device and reinstall.

You can try run the SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service) first too if you want.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Peanutboy:
How do i remove all the drivers? PS: SEUS didn't work...doesn't recognise the phone either.
[Sony Xperia ZL] butatx:
Uninstall the PC Companion and check at control panel>programs & features search for any sony mobile driver, uninstall all.

Then restart ur computer and reinstall PC Companion.
[Sony Xperia ZL] butatx:
Have u try hard reset ur device? Try Google how to

Never let your battery go below 6%.

Below that, it turns off to safe the battery. ( if the battery ever reaches true zero charge it will be irreversibly damaged ).

Gesendet von meinem Xperia ZL
[Sony Xperia ZL] sirsmokey:
my phone has reached absolute zero many times what evidence or proof of irreversible damage can you provide us?
[Sony Xperia ZL] Sirence:
I'm pretty sure your battery has never reached 0% yet as android doesn't let that happen. You would have to leave the battery off for about a year to get that. What you mean is you let your phone shut down when the battery ran low. Even if it shows you 0% it Still has about 6% left that you can't use to safe the battery. If it's truly empty it is truly dead and can never be charged again.

But still, it is also not healthy to let your battery run down till the phone switches off. http://gizmodo.com/how-to-take-care-of-your-smartphone-battery-the-right-w-513217256
