[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] megalomanic14:
My personal setup step by step...

For the absolute most optimal setup follow these few simple steps to take MegaKat to a whole new level and make your Mega run like a brand new phone...enjoy

I've had so many requests for this here ya go...here's how I do my exact setup...absolutely most optimized possible

....

1. Uncheck Force Gpu Rendering in developer options...about phone, click MegaKat V10 (whatever build your on) 10 times to unlock dev options

2. Use Wanam and Xposed to deactivate Dvsf under Advanced in Wanam...dramatic boost in responsiveness, lower running temp, no screen dimming or cpu throttling

3. Change Animation and Transition settings in developer options...set all 3 from 1.0x to 0.5x. ..another huge boost to responsiveness and speed of any launcher

4. Greenify all downloaded user apps...Dont touch system app/don't activate greenify xposed mod

5. Disable the follow apps

Samsung Push Service

Google Chrome

Google Books

Google Magazines

Google Music

Google Hangouts

Google Plus

*obviously unless you use any of the above

6. Disable google location history and location reporting...doesn't affect maps or g now at all only stops a ton of data mining and wake locks

7. Do not use power saving mode...it defeats the optimizations and tweaks I've done to make the battery life so awesome

Enjoy the new build...latterly for those who want v10 on crack and steroids...use multicore controller or setcpu to max throttle the cpu to 2.26 ghz full time on performance governor lol then you're head will be spinning

Optimized Setup 2

As for the rest of my setup. ..op2 is a standard...ive done that forever every single flash exactly the same...

Honestly I don't do much else I let the rom do all the work...

For battery life: greenify is all i use...i greenify everything except widgets like zooper pro, live wallpapers like aurora or ocean weather, root apps like setcpu root explorer ect, ...which is mainly widgets, wallpapers, and root apps...no system apps

NO TUNERS CLEANERS RAM CLEARERS ECT...these are all counterproductive and usually cause more drain than good..

I also do not freeze or uninstall a bunch of apps from my system. ..i only do the few listed in op2

Never use power saving mode on my roms

Disable google history and reporting in location settings: doesn't negatively impact google maps or now, all functions and cards work. ..just no excess data or location pings

For performance

I use multicore controller: interactive governor

2300 ghz max

1200 ghz min (although recently increased due to excess battery life) i charge at night and since v11 on every other night getting about 5 hours screen on over 36 hours total full brightness

Animations on kk esp 4.4.4 are drastically slower than 4.3...thanks google for seeing ios8 and thinking that's the direction we should go in...[emoji107]...

I always change my animations to .5 in dev options

I use setcpu with exact settings as multicore controller to adjust io scheduler...use ROW io setting

themes

I uses to theme tw by coding and hated it tbh...because I love changing themes...wanam is by far my favorite mod over greenify setcpu ect...i could so without cpu controller as the roms already so quick...but wanam gives you an insane freedom to theme as you see fit on the fly

Zooper widget pro is def my favorite app becuase of the same reason with wanam. ..the freedom to have the s5 widget on nova or g3/g flex widgets on N4 ect...or the freedom to go off an get creative makes for a one of a kind device....

That's truly the key...i give my setup as a guide for how to lean it out, speed it up ect...but love watching what everyone does with the same blank canvas...

My favorite background ever is none 1 Aurora Live Wallpaper ripped and posted in op2 for everyone...my favorite theme lately has been the beach theme on my n4

S5/n4 AccuWeather are my favorite widgets ever...up with note 1 5 day layout one...but im not a big fan of the centered transparent n4 one tbh

Stock apps:

I'm actually a big fan of the stock Keyboard on n3/n4 that's what I use plus I use the s pen a ton so it's easier...i hate the new sms theme for the most part but love the clean look and use...with apps/services like email and sms browser i tend to a stick with stock becuase i like most of the apps, they're quality, optimized in the build and run well...it's a little different on stock admittedly but on fk

I do have swiftkey and google keyboard. ...new Google keyboard is hideous imo lol

I also have javelin browser for a second browser option

Def us stock camera since i optimized it the shots are just phenomenal...but i do like the lenovo apk i posted in op2 that's a pretty cool point and shoot replica style ui to play with. ..that's the thing with most stock replacements i have or try it's just a secondary give it a shot once in a while thing for the most part for me...i like most of tw and tw apps tbh

The rest of my apps are games or junk...hopefully this covers most of what op2 has in more/different detail plus any additional information you may find useful. ..let me know about anything else you may be interested in...ill be home again after this around 6

Using root browser or root explorer

System

Open Build.prop as editable text

Scroll down to the lines

ro.product.name=hlteuc

ro.product.device=hlteatt

change to:

ro.product.name=SM-G900S

ro.product.device=SM-G900S

Click save to save the mods in the build prop

***if using root explore you must delete or remove the build.prop.bak that's generated before rebooting

Enjoy...you can also mod this new theme with Wanam just like usual but enjoy the new circle toggles style/theme

Unlock Hidden Quick Toggles

Add Hidden Quick Toggles to Notification Bar: use Sq lite editor

1. Open and Grant Root

2. Scroll down the list to Settings Storage

3. Tap Systems.db

4. Tap System

5. Scroll down the system list until you find "notifications_panel_active_list" (see photo)

6. With notification panel active list highlighted hit the MENU BUTTON on your note

7. Tap Edit record

8. Scroll to bottom of quick toggles list

9. Add quick toggle codes for whatever toggles you want to activate with apostrophe in between each toggle ...ie ;mobiledata;hotspot; ect (full list below)

10. Once you've added the codes for the toggles you want...double check everything then click SAVE

11. Reboot

12. Enjoy the new toggles

List of Hidden Toggles: type exactly like this...make sure what you add looks identical to structure already in sys.db

1. Mobile Data: ; MobileData;

2. Location: ;Location;

3. Silent Mode: ;SilentMode; ***again already in our note but att use ;Sound;

4. Wifi Hotspot: ;WifiHotspot;

5. Toddler Mode: ;ToddlerMode;

6. Car Mode: ;CarMode; ***May not work; I think samsung use ;DrivingMode;

7. Brightness: ;Brightness; ***you already have the slide bar on notification page so useless imo

8. Do Not Disturb: ;DoNotDisturb; ***Called Blocking Mode on samsung devices...blocking mode is a more advanced tweaked version of do not disturb by on samsung higher end phones/tabs

***Some of these may or may not be supported on att base builds...i know several were not supported or have no function, some are also simply renamed/different toggle code but does the same thing...ie driving/car mode, blocking/do not disturb ect... so if you try one that doesn't work let me know and I'll note it and remove from the list...likewise I'm sure with the s5 and a few other new devices there may be more toggles hidden in kk if you find any that work let me know and I'll add them...enjoy

Zooper Widget Pro Guide:

So I think all of you know I'm obsessed with Zooper...it's the business lol...so after fielding a bazillion questions about it I figured I'd put this newb kit together then add it to op2...

To Replicate A N4/S5 (Any) Widget: static...these will.not change wallpapers with weather...you can I just typically like 1 at a time...preference

1. Get the background you want: either extract it from the apk of said widget or my drive box has about every flagship every made weather widget decomp backgrounds in there lol

2. Add 4x2 or 5x2 widget to home page

3. Layout

4. Add+

5. Choose last option: Bitmap

6. Choose gallery

7. Choose background: example sunny s5 (below)

8. Resize to fit widget box

9. Back to Layout Menu

10. Add Text: option 1: choose text content

11. Choose Time

12. Choose 3rd option (my preference pick whatever)

13. Resize clock and place using x and y adjustment

14. Back to Layout Menu

15. Add Text: Text Select: Date

16. Resize Date and Set in Position

17. *** Follow this same method for

Weather

Temp

Forecast

Location ect

18. For Weather Icons: Choose add bitmap icon

19. Choose bitmap

20. Resize and place in location

21. For "Last Update" like Samsung widgets check choose Edit Text and copy paste this into bar

Last Updated: #WLRM/d h:mm#

22. Resize and Place on bottom right corner

Basically let's you do stuff like this...enjoy
