Because of the big screen of the Note 3 i made this:

Download Touchwiz Launcher Mod 5x6 (Version 3):

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByXq0QneVqRrMy1OSWhHNmEwdXc/edit?usp=sharing

(Replace the original 'SecLauncher4.apk' in system/app with this one, be carefully at this and install other launcher (e.g. nova) before so you can use that if something goes wrong)

Because of questions here the detailed installation process for launcher and widgets:

-) download the apk

-) copy the apk to your sdcard

-) with e.g. Root Explorer copy the apk first ony to /system

-) rename the apk to its original name (without my mod-extensions on the beginning)

-) set the permissions to rw-r--r--

-) set owner and group to root

-) move the apk-file only now from system to system/app and replace the original one (or rename the original to.bak before)

-) if there is also an odex-file with same name delete it (or rename it to .bak)

-) clear dalvik-cache and cache

-) reboot

Widgets see post #2

You need ROOT for this MODS, its for odexed and deodexed Stock-ROMS (i used sources from MK2-firmware), if you are odexed then don't forget do delete the odex-file !!!

First do a backup, you need a Root Explorer to replace the original files in system/app or for SHealth in data/app (because of update), take care of the permissions rw-r--r-- and owner and group is root.

Should also work on other firmwares like MJ7 and so on, please try and post here.

I am not responsible for errors, brick, damage or something else ;)

I wish I didn't have issues with TouchWiz when widgets gets frozen...right now I'm forced to use Apex launcher because of that, but hope that in near feature someone will figure out how to cure this disease...

Can you show how in your version:

1) very long names in apps and in folders look like, do they overlap?

2) notification badges look on apps and folders (number of missed calls, new messages, emails that shown on app's icon)

3) opened folder look like (with badges)

I'm asking this because I've spent probably 10 hours changing one number at the time in this launcher to make it "perfect" 5x6 but at the end gave up on badges being cut off and icons shown too close to the edges in folders.

Thank you.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] firasusman:
Thanks for your work

The thing I noticed is transperant accuaweather is not fit to screen.

Its smaller in width .

But centerized .

It looks bad .
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] wandro3d:
Thank you for your effort. I was pretty excited about the Active App Widget with no title. However upon install, i found out it is too big.

Could you make smaller/original sized Active App widget mod with no title? I would appreciate it. Thank you sir.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] ElMartinoAT:
(Screenshot with developer option for layout-boundarys on)

@ V@eno:

First if you have issues with frozen apps try this:

check if you delete the odex-file, clear dalvik-cache, clear cache and restart (to rebuild the dalvik-cache for the deodexed apps)

For the layout please check the screenshot and tell me what you really mean ... i know there are some little finetuning problems in the dock-line and there is a prob with 2lined text on folders in home-screen ....

@ firasusman:

Yes that is because the weather-widget is in beta status, as you can see on the sreenshot also the non transp version layout looks bad, it consumes much time to change the layout because there is no layout-xml

(if someone knows how to change quickly the layout based on the string-arrays please help)

@ wandro3d:

I will think about making different sizes after the first version incl weatherwidget is done

so have a nice 2014

elmartino
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] ElMartinoAT:
Version 2 of the launcher MOD is online (see Post #1), i did some bugfixes on the layout (see also post before)

Also the new Accuweather-Widget is online with correct layout and non transparent, 50% transparent and full transparent version (see post #2)

[MENTION=5643126]wandro3d[/MENTION]:

There are now 3 versions of the icon-widgets (Assistive Light, Active Applications) online, small icon with text, small icon only and big icon only

(see post #2)

elmartino
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] V@no:
Oh I did not clear dalvik, hopefully this is the reason for widgets freeze...giving touchwiz one last chance now.

But there is one little cosmetic issue with v2: folders in dock get cut off. And besides, the dock icons are little too close to the bottom that imo too easy accidently hit back button instead of apps drawer.

Thanks again!
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] ElMartinoAT:
if something freezes on replacing system-apps there are some reasons:

-) old odex-file for new deodexed apk --> delete the odex file, delete dalvik and restart

-) old dalvik-cache-entry for new deodexed app --> clear dalvik cache and restart

-) 2 same apps (same package name) with different filenames in system-app --> delete one of the 2 same apk-packages (the filename does not matter for android, you can name the apks as you like -- the package name can be seen in the manifest-file inside the apk), thats my most frequent mistake in replacing system-apps ;)

Ok i didnt use folders in dock before (since now) ;) thats not my usage of the dock line ... so because of the layout and vertical place ist not possible to see folder-icons in the dock line completely (only the way in vers 2 with seeing half of the black discus is possible now, but this looks not so bad in my opinion because the housing of the note3 is also black ;)))

Second i have no probs to get the right icon or the menu or back button with fingers or pen ....

Maybe its possible to get up the icons a little bit and downsize the 'homesite-marker', let me think about that.

elmartino
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] V@no:
Yeah, I have fat fingers...

Perhaps by reducing vertical space between Icons (which in my opinion is a little excessive, taking in account small font used) you could gain little more room for dock.

Also, does anyone use the magazine app (swipe up)? There is a way remove that feature by replacing magazine_flick_up_y_position with some outrages number in dimens.xml

Don't know about when pressed home button while on home screen.

P.s. I did two mistakes you mentioned, didn't clear dalvik and left original files renamed in names not extension.

Fixed it and so far all widgets still working. Thank you!

widget problem

Hey guys, anyone else having a problem with all widgets disappearing after each reboot?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] ElMartinoAT:
What do you mean with disappearing ? In the menu ? On the homescreen ? which widgets ?

How did you install it ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] wandro3d:
Mr Elmartino, the small icon is perfect! You made my day. Thank you very much kind sir!
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] metalman1884:
I downloaded the apk file, followed your instructions onto where the file goes, renamed old launcher apk file with an extension .old

My Rom is deodexed so I rebooted and wiped dalvik.

I put widgets on home screen and other pages after every reboot they are not there anymore.

The widgets I use are calendar (comes with the rom), wunderlist and beweather (are from apps that I installed)

Hope this clarifies some things

Thanks again
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] traycold:
hi,

I installed yoour touchwiz mod + SPlanner widget mod + weather widget on my Note 2 (with Note 3 pack mod installed).

All is working ok, except SPlanner widget.

Attached to this message you can find a screenshot.

I tried both the transparent and the normal, with the same results.

The header is ok, just the grid is too big and some rows/columns are missing.

Can you fix it?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] ElMartinoAT:
I think the MOD is not compatible with other than n9005, sorry
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] traycold:
that's a pity, all your other widget works correctly even on Note 2.

Thanks anyway. Any clue if I would like to try and make some modification by myself on Splanner widget apk?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] ElMartinoAT:
I can not understand this failure .... i use Splanner every day installed now wunderlist and beweather and the widgets are allways there

some more questions:

-) do you use a n9005 ?

-) installed the modded launcher-apk correctly (copy modded apk to system, rename it to SecLauncher4.apk, set permissions, owner and Group, move it to app and replace the sys-app, clear dlavik-cache and cache, reboot)
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] ElMartinoAT:
All Samsung-Apps and there widgets are problems because they always programmed and layouted only for one specific device (no multi dpi), i think Samsung does this to prevent to use apps from other devices ... SPlanner and SecEmail are special problem-apps about that

So what dpi are you using ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] traycold:
I'm on default DPI (320), and in this condition as I said I installed your mod for 5x7 touchwiz launcher + weather widget. Both worked perfectly.

Then I installed the Splannner widget, with the result I posted before.

I also tried, using xposed app setting module, to change the DPI of SPlanner widget to 240 DPI, but didn't worked (no change at all).

Thanks for your help.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] ElMartinoAT:
Standard on Note 3 is 480dpi so Samsung programs all apps and widget to only fit that dpi and they are not multi dpi suitable, sry this is Samsung ... because of that policy i only use from the Samsung apps SPlanner (beacause of exchange task and calendar in one app) the Maill-App (syncing with Exchange) and the SPen Features .... Google Apps are all multi dpi suitable, and i think much of the apps from store.

Did you try the original SPlanner app from Note 3 MK2 ? How does this look ? Screenshot ?

how to install

hello how do you install step by step i still dont understand,

my rom is odex.

note 3 n9005
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] firasusman:
Thanks for update...

You are so awesome..

I will include your mode now in my assassin ROM..

Sure if you give permission.

And sure credit will be mentioned..

Thanks again champ.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] V@no:
The version 2 put dock icons way too close to the bottom, it does not look good as on the screenshot, especially the app drower icon is touching the edge...

P.S.

unfortunately wiping dalvik and cache didn't help with my problem with widgets freeze...damnit!
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] metalman1884:
I have T-mobile note 2

I followed the instructions down to a tee and the widgets still were gone from home screen after reboot.

But I finally got it fixed, my friend suggested to clear TouchWiz Data in Titanium Backup, which reset it to fresh state. After which I was able to set up all my widgets and everything is staying in its place after reboot!

Thanks for your feedback and a cool mod!

One thing I've noticed is the menu (app drawer) icon is sitting right on the bottom of the screen in the dock, it's a little raised on your screenshot (which was probably before version 2) compared to mine. Is that on purpose or by accident? Anyway to get it back up a little?

Thanks again for your work!
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] ElMartinoAT:
Version 3 is now out with some small layout-changes, the icons in dock get a little more up and more usability for folders on homescreen and in dock line.

Also there is a new accuweather-widget with 100% transparence and also without the night effects (like a black shadow in the background)

See Post #1 now with detailed install instructions

Including in Assassin Rom is granted if credit is mentioned, thx

See version 3

Nice to read that it works on Note 2, are the layout of all widgets ok there ?

See Version 3 out now
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] ElMartinoAT:
Yesterday i searched around in the code to find a solution to bring the menu/widget-button in the dock line to the middle, but Samsung changed the code since SecLauncher2 so nothing same.

If someone can help with that, i think to search in the CellLayoutHotseat (download zip with smali and class) is the right way but it seems that there is no easily way to change this in the smali, if someone can do that please post here
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] traycold:
thanks for the explanation, anyway I think I solved my issue. I made some experiments changing the values of file

res/values-sw359dp-xxhdpi/integers.xml

until I got a good layout on Note2 screen.

Now SPlanner widget is almost perfect (at least, for my needs!).

Thank you very much.

PS: for reference, I attach here the modded integers.xml with values for Note2
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] ElMartinoAT:
Version 2 of accuweather-widget is out now, it corrects a little layout-bug (see post#2 for that).

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] ElMartinoAT:
I don't know, just try it .... the resolution is the same and i think the apk-versions are the same (check the versions in the apk in the manifest.xml), the secsettings.apk could be a problem because of other firmware ....

if you want to do then make backup before and try it .... and please post if it works or not and on which firmware, thx

Have you checked the versions of seclauncher4.apk from your N900 MK2 und my modded from N9005 MK2 ?

Everything is working fine, except for the transparent S Note Widget.

When I open it (either in widget on home screen or in app drawer), it says "cannot play this video" over and over and it won't let me start the app.

Any thoughts?
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] glos7777:
actually I was changed "stock seclauncher" apk with that mod_apk at below link a few days ago.. it worked but when I long press home button nothing happened..

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2579686

Then I have seen your MOD and wanted to try it.. it worked but still nothing happened when long press home button.. I didnt understand why :S
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] ElMartinoAT:
This happend for me one time but never again, you can solve if you press simultaneously the button on 'cannot play this video' and ther further-button of the app, if you are fast enough the further-button press is recognized and you can start the app ... i dont know why this happens sometimes, i think because of the Installation of the video ...

I dont know why this happens on N900, if someone also with N900 can test this ....

4.3 AccuweatherPhone2013.apk re size

I think you must change only the first value.

<string-array name="gl_constants_ls">
<item>[COLOR="Blue"]1.4f[/COLOR]</item>
<item>1.738f</item>
..........

Change 1.4f in the first "fl_constants_ls" line to something smaller.

(depends on the Grid height and Gap, so should be between 1.35f and 1.2f for you)

Lower value => bigger widget, higher value => smaller widget.

You should find the same size as the background has.

Then must re size the text inside. (seventh and eighth line)

<string-array name="gl_constants_ls">
<item>1.4f</item>
<item>1.738f</item>
<item>1.62f</item>
<item>0.85f</item>
<item>-0.8f</item>
<item>1.15f</item>
<item>[COLOR="Blue"]1.20f[/COLOR]</item> # Horizontal text size multiplier
<item>[COLOR="blue"]1.20f[/COLOR]</item> # Vertical text size multiplier

Higher value is bigger text size and lower value is smaller text size.

(about 1.3 - 1.4f)

;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] sshafranko:
ElMartino is there a chance you could move up the page indicators a little bit? They look too low. Maybe you cant because of the 6 grids but I figured id ask anyway. Thanks

Could you decode more of those figures. thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] tkari4:

<string-array name="gl_constants_ls">
<item>1.4f</item> # Size multiplier for shadow frame
<item>1.738f</item> # Default background horizontal size multiplier
<item>1.62f</item> # Default background vertical size multiplier
<item>0.85f</item> # Sync button position, or size
<item>-0.8f</item>
<item>1.15f</item>
<item>1.20f</item> # Horizontal text frame size multiplier
<item>1.20f</item> # Vertical text frame size multiplier
<item>-0.05f</item>
<item>-1000.0f</item> # Default background size multiplier

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] sshafranko:
Yea I second the rotation. I really need it for my car. It would be great if this could be done. Im sure its difficult because noone has done it yet that I know of. The one thread that has TW rotation is the N2 launcher not N3. I havent seen it yet for N3 launcher.

I just like the stock look thats all. I like the icon labels under the dock icons and a little space between the icons and the page indicators. It kinda looks like my Nova Launcher set up now.
