★SecLauncher Mods★

What's up Everyone! I have come here to give you all some awesome modifications of the SecLauncher for your T-Mobile Galaxy Note 3 device. Here are a couple of modifications below for you to flash!

The only issue with these modified launchers "excluding stock" is that Samsung didn't make some of their widgets dynamic to where it can resize from 4x2 to 5x2. It seems some widgets like Accuweather widget are stuck on 4x2 or the formatting for it doesn't stretch properly to 5x2. I would simply recommend using widgets that will resize properly... most other widgets including play store widgets such as Beautiful Widgets, HD Widgets, and etc will work fine....

6x6 or 6x7

Hey jovy,

On my note 2 I had a 6 across x 7 verticle stock modified launcher.

Do you think if you made it 6 across the stock weather widget would auto adjust all the way across?

On my note 2 it did.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] cbucz24:
I got this to work as well but the accuweather would not display at all. Has anyone messed with the default dpi of the rom?

By default its 430. Next progression down would be in the neighborhood of 320 or so. I can say, I tried my n2 dpi an I couldn't get to the desktop. Everything fc :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] zoth:
Accuweather widget does not show, but I'm pretty sure default DPI is 480.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sqjzb:
great work.

one quick question. any idea if this thing works on other carrier g note 3 ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] holycow1:
Yes. I second the 6x7. Please!

Will this work on the VZW version if I pull the APK and manually put it in?

Thanks!

It should work, these files are fairly universal. Its not until you get into the ui, mms, settings that you have issues cross swapping them

Okay that's what I figured, just wanted to double check to make sure things didn't change from the s3 to the Note 3. Thanks!

[Xperia Z1 General] Chekhn:
Hello xda members, I bought this phone because i thought it would be an awesome phone. Which it kind of is but still not. And i am writing this so people who wants to buy this phone gets a some information about the phone. And yes i know there are a thread like this, but one is only positive and the other is only negative etc.

In general this phone is a beast, it look good really premium feeling. But when using it for a couple of days i fins so much in this phone that is really bad that i seriously consider changing phone.

I am not make this phone look bad or so, it is still a awesome phone but these things is not acceptable imo. And all of these things that i will write are IMO

- ´The camera is really good, it takes sharp pictures and is quite good when it is dark (but should be better), but god damn the camera app is terrible. There are no options at all! You can't do a sh*t, and when taking pictures of "landscape" the picture turns out great, but when you zoom in every single detail is blury as hell (look attachment). A phone with 20MP should have much better camera app and more features.

- The battery life isn't good, I used only GSM and no wifi, lowest brightness and the only thing i did was texting and looking at the clock. But the phone was still consuming quite a lot battery..

- The wifi performance is bad, i have a samsung galaxy s2 too and i put the phones on the table and my samsung has stronger signal (which leads to "faster" internet).

- The viewing angels are bad but it's okej i can live with that not such a big problem.

- The bezel is way to big, the phone could be smaller and still keep the display size, because the phone feels a little bit to big and doesn't feel so good in the hand.

- And last but not least there are a few things they should fix in their "ROM", that are bugging me.

But overall it really is a great phone, but these things makes me consider changing phone.

Hope those of you who want to buy this phone thinks this is useful.

The first picture is in auto mode, and the other one is in manual mode.
[Xperia Z1 General] natkaen:
have to agree with you on the camera. when you take a photo it looks really nice, but when you zoom in it's a like a painting lol. no sharpness whatsoever. hopefully it'll get improve with further update. i thought the battery would be much better, but i find it the same as my old htc one and that's 2300mah.
[Xperia Z1 General] Timaustin2000:
Not my experience at all. These aren't even the sharpest shots I've taken - you should see the ones I snapped of the outside of the Natural History Museum. Hell, you should see the ones I took of the ceiling inside the natural history museum.

It's a cameraphone,... I'm just not sure what people were expecting. Of course it's not a DSLR but it's pulling in far more detail in every 8mp image than any 13mp phone picture I've taken.
[Xperia Z1 General] Chekhn:
I didn't say that the pictures ain't sharp, they are sharp and really look good. But when you take a picture like the ones in the attachment it is very blury when you zoom in. But overall the sharpness is really good, but the camera app sucks big time, you can't change any settings, the old phones with 2MP had more options..

Btw nice pictures you captured with the z1
[Xperia Z1 General] gm007:
Did you take this pic with Z1? Can you upload the full size of it?
[Xperia Z1 General] Timaustin2000:
I did - self selected Night Portrait mode at 8mp 4:3. The other version of this shot was actually captured using superior auto (I know!). SA decided to turn on "Spotlight Mode" as the interior of the truck was bright and the exterior was in full darkness. It became a very interesting shot!

The full samples are in the link (above). Click on the image in the gallery. This takes you into Lightbox mode. Then right click the image and select "original". This is the full resolution image. Right click again, select "Save As" and resize and inspect to your heart's content.

All of the images in the gallery above are as they were out of the phone. No post processing, no photoshopping. Many of them were taken in Manual with me selecting scene modes but if you see a 16:9 shot it was taken with Superior Auto.
[Xperia Z1 General] sofir786:
Well i must say i had HTC One which was tricked out, with a modified stock rom and a custom kernel with all the bells and whistles, I use my z1 with wifi connected when im at home and 3g when im out and about, its my main media player, so i use it for mp3's and what not aswell as whatsapp and a few other apps, i got to say the battery life is about the same as my old htc one, bearing in kind, the z1 has a bigger screen and a faster processer. Ok i agree with the bezel it could be better, its still a well built phone and in terms of looks i think the htc one is the only phone which will top it for now.

I dont know whats wrong with your z1 but my pics come out great but then again i dont use superior auto mode, i have no issues with wifi, i get very good speed even when i only have 2 bars. it is known that some phones do not give an accurate read out(GIYF). How long has this phone been out? and how many updates have been made? its a brand new phone only released a few weeks back, fixes will come out, have some patience.
[Xperia Z1 General] gm007:
I start to believe that there is different hardware in each batches of this phone,like sony did with the screen.

No way i can get this results with my phone.

Anyway i am going to the shop for a replacement maybe i will get lucky with one that have good hardware.
[Xperia Z1 General] Chekhn:
There is nothing wrong like that the picture a really good it's just that the pictures taken at landscape shown in attachment. everything becomes blury when zoomed in. And that the camera app kinda suck if you compare to other phones even though this phone has a great camera and that the camera is something sony focused on.
[Xperia Z1 General] Smartphoner:
Anyone experienced boot up failure and not being able to force reboot using power button and volume up button even after several times? coz i had this and didn't know what to do until it booted up after many trials!!
[Xperia Z1 General] DAddYE:
Mmm, have you still the film on the back of your phone? The len looks awful, I did a lot of shots never got one so bad. Are we sure is a Z1? Finally on which firmware version are you?

Actually it does, fixed right away after first reboot, what about the email not showing inbox mail.
[Xperia Z1 General] gm007:
Stock email? I never use it.

Maybe some settings.
[Xperia Z1 General] POWER1FM:
My friend i own Xperia T and Xperia Z1 and so far the Xperia T is THE BEST CAMERA PHONE EVER.

The quality when you zoom in to the pictures with Xperia T is better than my digital cameras.

The noise at Xperia Z1 pictures is worst than my Xperia arcS.

The same think happened with Xperia Z also.

After the update to 4.2 the camera quality went to h@ll.

I hope that is a software problem that can be fixed.

Last but not least.

Xperia T at superior auto captures at 12Mp and the Z1 flagship at 8Mp.
[Xperia Z1 General] 30Seconds:
Yes I had this problem and it was taking so long to boot I thought the phone was dead.

Finally after waiting as long as 10 minutes for it to boot it started up. It would get very hot during this and use as much as 5% of battery. I found it would do the same thing even when booted in safe mode or after I had removed all of my apps.

From what I can see it is some sort of software problem that happens after the installed apps are updated when you initially configure the phone. I can't tell which app is the problem. Another weird thing is that it was carrying over settings from my last phone (lock screen text etc) that are not compatible and this may have been a problem as well.

I did a factory reset and setup again and it did the same thing after a day of use. So I did a factory reset and then did not upgrade the apps or do a sync right away to my Google account and so far so good and I powered off and back on this morning with no issues. So I am not going to update the core apps for now and maybe I have it fixed.
[Xperia Z1 General] keithwalton:
You have tried putting it in manual mode instead of superior auto right ?

manual mode you get more options than i've seen in any other phone camera

(exposure, white balance, iso, metering mode, focus mode, resolution, hdr, steadyshot to name but a few)
[Xperia Z1 General] Chekhn:
yea i know, but i meant when you have 20MP there are no settings you can change only when 8MP, but the biggest lack (imo) is that they don't have features like for example drama, slow motion etc that galaxy s4 has, htc one also has the slow motion thing.
[Xperia Z1 General] Chekhn:
I have said it before, the pictures are really good other ways, just that it is blury when you zoom in
[Xperia Z1 General] Chekhn:
It's a shame how many faults there are in this camera.. :/
[Xperia Z1 General] BenniBenassi:
If you want to modfify the settings, use the manual mode.
[Xperia Z1 General] Chekhn:
Look post 20.. I KNOW -.-
[Xperia Z1 General] Smartphoner:
The Xperia Z had car mode, where is it on the Z1?
[Xperia Z1 General] Timaustin2000:
I still have an Xperia S (virtually identical camera module, bar a megapixel) and, to this day, it takes great, detailed shots,.... but better than my Z1? You've got to be kidding. The XS (and by extension, the XT) has far less dynamic range and, I'm sorry to contradict you, produces far, far more noise, even in broad daylight.

The night-time and low light shots are miles apart between the two, also. My experience with the Z1 has been that it's by far the better of the two.
[Xperia Z1 General] Chekhn:
Btw, I CAN'T FU*KING TYPE WHEN I AM IN A PHONE CALL AND CAN'T OPEN DIFFERENT THINGS. This phone is a bit*th made joke

[Xperia Z1 General] Timaustin2000:

[Xperia Z1 General] donny007x:
New Z1 owner here, I really like it so far.

I've tested the wifi connection and it performs fine, no drops, strong signal, high throughput. Wifi performance and signal level are subjective to a lot of things, including the (usually poorly configured) wireless access point. The "number of bars" you get says absolutely nothing.

I can't really judge the battery life yet, but after a day of heavy use I still have 60% left (11 hours left according to the Sony battery widget).

The screen is both breathtakingly amazing and bit disappointing, coming from a first generation Galaxy Note I really miss the Amoled deep blacks and viewing angles, the colors, sharpness and whites of the Z1 display are much better though.

The viewing angles are meh, dead-on its like looking at a mini Sony TV, look at it from a side and blacks become grayish. And no, I'm not talking about extreme angles here, a little tilting is enough. It's more noticeable with dark objects on the screen.

I like the bezel, it makes the device easier to hold in landscape during gameplay and for one-handed photography. I don't mind the larger footprint.

I haven't really tested the camera, the few snaps I took with it look decent. The camera app is ok for me, it's better than the stock Android camera app.

I didn't like the stock Xperia software. The Xperia keyboard, clock, calculator and launcher are just not for me, I prefer the stock Android experience. With Nova launcher, Calculator (CyanogenMod), Clock JB+ and the Google Android Keyboard you can get a very pleasant almost stock Android experience without installing a custom rom.

The Z1 gives a true lag-free Android experience, even with heavy games and tasks.

I'll probably throw CyanogenMod on it when the time is ready.

Does anyone have a problem with their signal strength....mine will show 4g in an LTE area....it will switch back and forth from LTE to 4g constantly...sometimes the signal strength would be so low, that web pages wont even open for a min or two....I am using a sim adapter to use my sim card from my iphone 5, instead of using the new sim....I switch back and forth between my iphone and note, so I don't want to use another sim...does that cause problems?

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jetbruceli:
I was getting great 4G connection before this last update and now it's using the highest signal like 2g most of the time.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ripnetuk:
Mine is rubbish

Well the actual signal strength is fine when its working, but it has real trouble re-connecting to my network (3, UK) after going out of range.

It sits on the 'emergency calls only' mode for ages, and requires a reboot, after which it immediately connects to my correct network.

Its made slightly better by manually selecting '3' as the network operator, but I have to reboot several times a day to keep connected.

Im planning on going to Car Phone Warehouse tomorrow for a chat about it...

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cgi:
ripnetuk: Just as a suggestion:

My NexusS tends to not to reestablish the data connection after a weak signal period. I can fix that by switching to airplane mode and back. (Rebooting takes ages with that phone).
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ripnetuk:
Hi,

Id established that sometimes putting airplane mode on and off fixes it, but it often didnt. A reboot /always/ reconnected to the three network.

I took it back today, and Carphonewarehouse swapped it for a new unit, no questions asked, so im gonna give it a go for a while before thinking its fixed.

I did get my highest ever speed test result with the new phone tho - over 15 megs... ive never seen over 12 before, so hopefully its got a good antenna on it :)

Hi everyone,

i flashed Xperia Z Fire Series 5 XP Rom on my tipo. Everything went fine, but after a while

i got simlocked. I read that some other persons have the same problem but i can't find any

solution to this. The sim card is working in other devices and the problem is also on other

roms or stock.

Does anyone know a fix for this?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codeman05:
So far I've changed a handful of apps and all seems well.

I got a little ambitious though and was going to try and shrink the status bar a bit.

If I remember correctly (been using PA for a while), in the past all that required was changing the DPI for Android System and System UI.

However, doing this leaves me with a gap under the status bar and changing the DPI of Android System seems to affect all the apps...and royally screw up the Samsung keyboard. It works, but the graphics are massively stretched so you have to guess where the keys should be.

Changed these particular settings aren't a huge deal, was just curious if anyone else has had more success, or if I'm just doing something stupid :p
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wiser212:
I'm wondering about the same thing. I have not touched anything with the status bar but would really like to shrink the ridiculously large font. I have changed DPI on a number of apps and no issues so far.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zach Alt:
I've never messed with this but I'd love to get rid of the huge font everywhere. Haha
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joe ferreira:
settings/device/font/font size

I changed mine to extra small

I also use apex launcher and changed all the icon sizes to 85% and increased all the rows/columns +1

this made it seem as if it is a better dpi but without hardcore modding of the individual dpi's
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinpusher:
I'm just doing individual apps for now as well. 400 DPI seems to be the sweet spot for my eyes.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bladerunner1825us:
I changed my whole system to 320 dpi for play store compatability. Whatever dpi ya set make sure to set the tw apps to 480 so they arent screwed up. These include calculator, phone, contacts, camera, email, photo editor, tw home & tw easy home. Ive noticed the keyboard is finally multi dpi and its working just fine for me on 320 dpi. Oh by the way i used rom toolbox to switch my overall dpi & set my per app settings BEFORE changing dpi to prevent any fc's lemme know if ya need any help
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImSteevin:
I'm running 350 DPI with romtoolbox and apex launcher, it's running great for me, I like the size so much more
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codeman05:
Yea changing the build.prop and then overriding a few apps is a much easier approach, good call.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bladerunner1825us:
Biggest thing is to make sure ya set the specific apps first haha. I set the whole thing once first and it was a big mess! With setting the apps I specified, the only weird thing i saw was if you go to task manager the top bar is off centered. You can still see everything but theres black space to the right. Other then that everything is just about perfect
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElAguila:
Does running the dpi at 350 or 400 cause any issues with the play store? I don't have Xposed installed but I was thinking of using rom toolbox to set it at 350 or 400.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bladerunner1825us:
It may cause some apps not to show up in the app store because its an unrecognized dpi. Theres a module for xposed that restores app store compatability though I believe
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dawheat:
Anyone what program needs to be set to 480 for the S-view window to appear correctly? Tried a bunch but nothing seems to affect it. Thanks
