[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] doga.ozkaraca:
Hi XDA Friends,

I decided to port S5 S View Cover Stuff to our beautiful S4.

You know samsung made worst S View Cover Stuff for us.

Note 3 and S5 have useful features on their View Cover..But S4 only shows clock&date,and only stock music player stuff.(i don't write anything about call answering etc.I'm talking about Screen on state only)

ANDROID 4.4 KITKAT FIRMWARE REQUIRED ANYWAY I DIDN'T TEST ON ANDROID 4.3- , IT WILL LOOK BETTER ON S5 THEMED ROMS .BECAUSE S5 FONTS ETC.

EDIT : I will make an apk for changing stuff and also xposed weather stuff for note 3 + s5 S-View Service

You can't use anything in your zip file/ROM etc. without my permission.

But S5 Port doesn't work correctly.Probably GLHelper java classes are crashing. But logcat doesn't show anything about crashed stuff.So i must dig it for fixing FC problem.So i decided to make a port from Note 3 and theming like S5 .And Results below.

Anyways S5 Port is useless for now :)

I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE OF ANY PROBLEMS IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG.But,probably you won't get any problem.

Current S5 S-View Cover Status :

- Shows notifications.

- Touch buttons doesn't work, probably framework related.

- Crashes when screen turns off and turns on again..

- I have never seen clock,maybe thats the reason too for crashes(i checked font dependencies,fonts are working.)

Current S5 Themed Note 3 S-View Cover Status :

-Touch buttons doesn't work, i think it's framework related. Because Note3 And S5 ViewCover sizes out of bounds of original S4 S-View Cover screen.

-Clock&Date Works, S-Health doesn't work , Weather currently doesn't work but i added Weather layout.I wrote 20 degree manually.It doesn't fetch data for now.(I'm planning to change weather text + icon with xposed via my own service. It will work after that.)

-It doesn't crash.

As you can see S5 and Note 3 S-View Cover Services doesn't fit. So you can cut your S-View Case and put another plastic glass.And It will look like S5 or Note 3.Maybe I can create youtube tutorial for this.

But i want to fix touch buttons on S-View before doing that.

I can change S-View Color with S5 Touchwiz(menu button) -> Set Wallpaper -> S View Window

Current S4 Modded S-View Cover Service :

-Everything Works

-Customizable Background Wallpaper
