I downloaded your wigdet so I can mod my own using yours as an example.

I extracted the player control bitmaps and added them to mine. But when looking at your config you have the module on tap action set to open the samsung music player. I'd like to use them to do prev, play/pause, next. I did install media utilities from the play store.

My question is how to I configure the module on tap to perform those functions?

I'm still googling around and reading, so once I figure it out I will come back and post the answer here.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
To be honest I've never tried breaking any of those commands...the launcher style was really all I was shooting for...i mainly use them for the look and feel rarely any function tbh that was the first launcher kind...def let me know I'll add it to the method of op2

A lot of the tutorial pages are broken links.

Zooper.org refuses to open. I know it got bought by the Themr folks, maybe they killed all external sources to zooper. Dunno.

I am looking at these threads right now trying to figure this out:

This video may be what I am looking for:

The zooper info is around 14:18 mark in the video.

EDIT: So I got it work with media utilites and set the on tap action to media play/next/previous for each button. Track info shows nicely also. I cannot get it to work with the built in music player though.

That is what holds the screen to the frame. It's heat activated. By the looks of your photo, it would b e better to get an LCD with the S-Pen sensor attached to it just to be on the safe side. Also, when installing the new LCD, MAKE SURE that all the foil is removed before putting on the new one. Otherwise, the screen will left up and will not seal correctly.

OK after heavy usage today and I mean heavy after 12 hrs I have 21% battery left. I was outside shoveling snow so was listening to music through Bluetooth. I also have my gear s on. I tweaked my rom with greenify and wanam as discussed also use setcpu to tweak my cpu to specs in op2. Tomorrow I will try not to use the rom so hard and see how long the battery lasts. I know I shouldn't be posting battery stats until 5 days after. Feel I have to post day 1.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
What kinda screen on did you pull in?

If you use my settings for interactive and 1400 2700 you're only ever gonna top out around 5 hours to 5.5 screen on at full brightness especially with gear s connected...those are not battery efficiency those are for extreme performance...so adjust your setup after it settles in accordingly

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] dirtymindedx:
I am not even using full brightness I never do. That would probably kill the battery quicker. Brightness less than 25% even before using this rom. 2700 is high and 1400 low interactive row are my settings. I got 4 hrs time on for my screen.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea that's not too bad given the mix of your setup at this point....cool man enjoy

I like the second widget, is it with zooper? Thanks in advanced
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Temetka:
Thanks!

The whole widget is interactive.

The icons next to calls, mms, etc open their respective apps when tapped on.

Tapping the time opens S-Planner

Tapping the weather icon opens Yahoo! weather.

The bar at the bottom is a progress bar for the media player.

I like it so far. But if you've checked out some of the themes from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=41397411#post41397411

I still feel like I can't hold a candle next to some of those guys. First off I can't create grpahics, i'm just not creative like that.

I'm going to play around with the spacing a little bit more. I am getting very addicted to zooper.

And yes, mega, they were bought out. Check this out:

http://themerapp.com/about

Look at the person on the bottom of the list.

RE: Things moving around. I have found that using the option to anchor the text, then specifying it's X and Y coordinates helps text from moving. For example where it says unread e-mail, that used to shift to the right if I had any unread e-mails. Now it stays in it's spot.

The media controls work for play music, but not the built in samsung music app. Still trying to figure that one out.

On another note, I tried Milk Music the other day and really fell in love with it. I've been a Pandora user for years and have customized all my channels nicely. But Milk, it adapted very quickly to my mood and genre settings. Something that took me a lot of liking and hiding songs to accomplish in Pandora. If I get a few more clients, I will definitely be subscribing to it. It's that good.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
noooooo[emoji85] [emoji24] whyyyy zooper why lol...

Oh for sure but some of those dude are programmers and designers lol so that helps haha...it's a really intricate coding system for a widget beautifully put together...i got hook a long time ago when he first tested the original free beta pro and since then it's one of the few mainstays that have stayed thru the waves of fads in apps...yours is def looking great

tbh idk how long you've used zooper or if your just starting...or for anyone else getting into it...but the one thing I wish I knew when I was just starting learning it was don't start off doing transparent no background widgets...start by copying the s5 widget with the background and all like I've posted just make one on your own...this gives you a guide to balance and space in and a sort of context for balancing your transparent widgets easier....after a while you can sort of picture this size clock here usually fills x amount of space on the launcher ect for picturing how the widget will look in your head much clearer then design isn't also fighting the structure or layout

Mega

like this one was tricky and took me a few layout changes to fit...was going for an oversized/fill the widget style plus multi-day weather...but even though it turned out exactly how I picture it...as a widget it doesn't really look good...that's the other weird thing with designing these I've noticed...alot of amazing backgrounds make terrible widgets ect

Where one of my first original ones I did is still my favorite cuz it just looks great on almost any theme

Great rom mega smoothest rom i ran to date thus far. Using your exact setup in the OP and nova launcher lag free.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
I'm guessing your using gnow launcher which has the function built in and is constantly running so the app wont wake lock much...post your stock overall battery stats to get a more accurate overall picture...plus 4 hours is a super small amount of data for wld...Also it may be preconverted to a user app prior to flash I know some devs go that route ...is it greenified? These are just off the top of my head as obviously aosp and tw are identical but for a theme and some peripheral files it's not like separate os's lol

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] FormeriPhoney:
I'm using Nova launcher

Definitely not a user app

Not greenified

I'm gonna flash back to Firekat right now. After a few days on cm12 I can honestly say that your rom is almost just as snappy which is absolutely unbelievable for a TW rom. Kudos
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
I added a few thoughts to my post...lol distracted....it's hard to say exactly but the overall battery life is more important as well as performance ...what gets better overall battery life fk or aosp?

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] -LBT-:
I'm running FK7, and the battery life is quiet good - 2 - 2.5 days of normal use, easy. My brightness is managed by Tasker (I have different profiles for different time of day, night, inside/outside).
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] FormeriPhoney:
That was just a recent example. Same goes for a 12 hour usage day.

As far as battery.. It was a dead heat for me bc I didn't use greenify on FK but I just flashed firekat again and I'm gonna do it right this time.

On Cm12 I get about 10 hours usage with 4:30-5 hours SOT

Literally the same for firekat but I look forward to improving that with the correct settings followed from OP#2

I have never used greenify so bare with me. All the other optimizations you posted I have done.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Sweet man...not too shabby for keeping all the kit lol...greenify os Hella easy lol just click on the apps you'll wanna make sleep and it's a one click process...you'll be surprised how effective it is...cool have fun hooking up your new setup man

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] FormeriPhoney:
OK. So I selected most user apps except for the few widgets I have (Dashclock & today calender)

How exactly does it work? Puts them to sleep when not in use? Wouldn't that make then lag on start up though?

Look right?

I've been using Zooper free for over a year, just paid for it a few months ago.

That being said, I work in IT and have been programming in various languages for years. I am not a full time dev. I am a sysadmin who dabbles in code. VB, HTML, CSS, JAVA, SQL, off and on for personal projects or fixing someone else's code here and there. I also like to tinker with Conky and LUA scripts on my linux boxen. So jumping into the scripting language in Zooper wasn't all that hard to figure out.

I think my next long term project is going to be either an off line reader for articles that are tagged and stored, or modifying the TouchWiz launcher for a 5x6 grid layout. The first project would be easier as I would have no clue where to start with when it comes to TouchWiz. For all I know it could be just editing variable in the SQLite editor. I really like TouchWiz, I just wish there was more room on the screen to add stuff. The default 4x4 grid on a Note 4 is just a sin IMO.

I like tinkering with things. :)

And who said it doesn't happen on stock, FYI... it happens on all phones/brands....
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tfly212:
Totally agree...the single most important feature is battery life...with a dead battery the only feature that works is paperweight.

Despite its "buttery smoothness and snappiness" I have never seen a AOSP feature that is worth a couple hours of screen on time. When it dies an hour or two earlier it may be a buttery smooth and snappy, but its still just a paperweight

I don't know what's up with my phone. It was behaving itself all day and now all the sudden it's hot as ****. I was browsing on Tapatalk, stuck my phone in my pocket so I could do some stuff, and when I took it out of my pocket my phone was insanely hot.

I checked 3C Toolbox and it showed my CPU usage was at 95%, all 4 cores were maxed out at 2.65ghz, and my CPU temp was like 77°C. I wasn't doing anything CPU intensive. Just browsing XDA with Tapatalk. I don't see anything unusual running in the background.

I hate this phone. I have to charge it twice a day and it's always uber hot. My Note 3 with the exact same set up was ice cold and lasted 2+days on its battery.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Face bro what's up? The last few weeks your notes have been fighting back man lol try a reboot and see what happened prolly just a bit of a fluke...if your touch controller is activating from the broken screen that will drastically spike the temp pushing the cpu to max clock so that's what I suspect is happening

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
I've tried reboots, clean installs (including Odining back to NK4 first), factory resets, using no SD card, etc and my phone still eats the battery alive and is always hot as testicles. I've done all the battery saving tricks in the book and I still have to change it after about 6-8 hours. WLD shows my phone awake like 2% of the time so I don't know what's wrong.

I hope you're right and replacing the screen fixes the issue, but we'll just have to wait and see. Mobile Tech Videos needs to hurry up with my Note 3 so I can get a new screen for this POS.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jongcruz:
After using this Rom for a week I can say it is great.....fast, stable really smooth but I'm not impressed at all with battery life, is not bad, is just like factory......anyways I'll keep trying it for a little bit longer.

Thanks you for your great job!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
You do realize battery life is a standard right? the roms efficiency and your usage or optimization of it are two seperate things...What your individual setup gets is dependant on your apps and usage...if you download apps that aren't coded well and let them run wild they'll kill the most efficient rom thats simply cause and effect...check out the op2 for some setup tips

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Well it seems logical to that your experiencing high heat and max clock speed which unless acted on by say a cpu controller only really kicks in when interacting with the screen...the touch controller and sensor are part of the feedback commands for the kernel parameters to ramp up the clock when active vs idle in your pocket. ..unless idle in your pocket with a broken touchscreen lol

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
I'm using the stock kernel with no tweaks. Your thesis sounds logical, so if my Note 4 isn't amazing after its new screen then I'm just gonna deal with the financial loss and sell this thing.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Ill give you the same advice i gave my buddy when he replaced his mega screen...Imo if it's not back to "normal" or will always be in the back of your mind bugging you...sell it...no matter how good the install or screen if it irks you your experience and enjoyment of the device won't be worth the the loss of selling it and either replacing it or going a new direction

Samsung will be replacing the screen, not me. It's only an extra $8 for them to replace it vs buying some unknown brand screen and doing it myself. I don't trust myself to replace the screen. With my luck I'll **** it up...

Maybe my phone is just defective and it's not the cracked screen causing my problems? I can't exchange it with T-Mobile/AT&T because I bought it on Swappa and my Samsung warranty is void because I set off Knox :(

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
I figure that if they **** up my phone they'll be responsible for fixing it or giving me a new one. Like if they snap the mother board in half or tear some of the ribbon cables while replacing the screen they'll have to fix it at no extra cost because they broke it. If I short it out or tear a cable then I'm pretty much SOL

I've noticed that my battery percentage goes up 3-5% if I yank it out then reboot the phone. It's strange...
