I have tried the Xposed Framework and none of the modules gave me the desired white notification/text effect (although I could get the transparency to work). I pretty much want to exactly mimic the status bar of the S4. How can I do this?
Although Samsung listed Smart Stay in its list of official 4.1.2 update features, it wasn't there. How can I get SAMSUNG'S Smart Stay on my phone? I don't want the Smart Stay on the Play Store as its not Samsung.
Where can I find the white themed Messaging app, GS4 keyboards, and S4 S-Voice for my phone? I don't have the Root Explorer app so I can't "push" to any folder.
If anyone has any info on how I can do these things PLEASE let me know. I've looked everywhere on how to do these things but to no avail.
Thanks.

Hi everyone!
I've recently bought my beloved Note II in places of an iPhone 4 and I have only two things bugging me.
As you've may already guessed, I seriously need autocorrect.
My experience with other Android devices (namely Motorola Xoom) was perfect minus the astonishingly good performance.
I was able to write quickly knowing that the original Android keyboard will correct every thing for me... but now I can't.
So, is there a way to enable autocorrect on Samsung's TouchWiz keyboard (don't want to lose S Pen functionality)?
Secondly, I only need 5 of the loads of widgets on the notification drawer.
Is there anyway I can modify them to the number and order I want?
Is there any ROM that can fix those problems without losing S Pen apps?
Thank you in advance!
1- No way to enable auto correct in stock samsung keyboard as far as I know. I recommend downloading swiftkey from the android market. It has (in my opinion and many others) the best auto correction/prediction of any keyboard in the world. Granted, it is a paid app but there is a free 30-day trial.
2- You can't modify the notification toggles with stock rom. With certain custom roms, yes.
Just a little info.. the notification thingies that allow enable/disable of wifi/bluetooth etc are called toggles. Widgets are the ones you can put on the home screen.
The problem with having a 3rd party keyboard is when you want to use the S-pen you have to select the samsung keyboard. Try using the continous input option of samsung keyboard, you can swipe which does auto correct / predict.
So I used Lockscreen Policy hoping it will also remove the google now but it only removed the widgets and camera.
I use WidgetLocker with a sense3 slider and I keep hitting the google now icon and has been fairly frustrating.
If you have any tips to remove it that would be great. I am using the stock 4.2 I am rooted and unlocked but I just haven't had the chance to play with other roms yet since this phone actually has been functioning properly unlike my Optimus 3D. But if you know of a rom that this doesn't show up or has the option to remove it I will consider that as well.
wrong thread.
disable or uninstall google search app. at least i do since im not using it.
Hey guys,
I have been using this phone now for a couple weeks and totally love it but I have a couple questions I'm hoping someone may be able to help me with.
1) is there any way to turn the phone on besides using the power button? Like, is there an app you can use to shake that will wake up the phone?
2) is there any way to autohide the status bar up top? I am currently rooted but dont want to change launchers as adw launcher works but some widgets are missing from it.
3) is there a way to ad other access icons to the power strip (that has wifi, data, airplane mode etc)?
4) I can't seem to get any adblocker to work.. if I open up apps with adds they still all appear even though I've tried several different ones like Adfree and one you can use with ROM toolbox.. is there something I'm missing?
5) what is a good font change tool to use? I have tried a couple and they too do not work at all.. makes me wonder if there are still some locks is the os where it prevents these types of changes even though the apps I've tries have superuser access.
Thanks for any help!!
1)Yes, in the market.
2)Yes, on the ADW
3)If you mean the stock one, no
4)Yes, you missing a fact some apps has ads built in. There the app called Chelpus Lucky Patcher, it has some great abilities (Prohibited though) including ads removing from apps.
5)Settings->Display->Font
Thanks for the tips!
Regarding the font, I am aware of the fonts built in but is there a way to use different fonts?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Android will accept any TrueType fonts. To install 3rd-party fonts, you'll have to root your phone first (yes this is from the Sprint forums but it works with all variants).
Read this guide as well if you need more help on how to do so.
I would like to entirely remove the quick settings tiles in my Notification Shade, on my TMobile Galaxy S3 (SGHT999). I am running 4.3 stock rom (I highly prefer TW framework because I utilize some Samsung apps[New Boootloader!]) My device is rooted and has SuperSu Pro installed. I also have Xposed Framework installed, I have seen quite a few modules for other devices to do exactly what I've been hoping to succeed, but none for my device or compatible with my device. I can delete all the icons but am then stuck with an empty void and edit button. I'm looking to abolish the entire quick settings toggles as an option within my Notification pull down shade. I've been searching for days and cannot find a functioning solution, any help would be extremely appreciate. My apologies if this has been addressed somewhere and I overlooked it. I did not want to resort to making new thread but did what I could before making one.
Hi
I have installed Lineage 14.1 (Android 7 ROM) and Gapps. It's runs on the google launcher which is pretty awesome but it doesn't feel right as the tablet is a Samsung.
I know the word "Touchwiz" can cause arguments in the android world but I want to install the s8 touchwiz as it is really smooth and a massive improvement on it predecessors. I have installed an Apk like I have done on my s7e but it just says "Touchwiz has stopped working"
Is there other apps that I need so the touchwiz can run?
(Note I am just interested installing the touchwiz not the other samsung apps (bloatware) but obviously if there are any samsung system apps I need, I don't mind installing them)
Thanks
Hi peeps I have an update.
I have come up with an alternative solution.
Basically I haven't got touchwiz on my tablet there is so many system apps I need to look into and research it's madness....but I will keep looking into it and when I crack the code I will let you know.
I have found a way of making my tablet look more samsung and close to an S8 touchwiz than ever.
First step is go on to google play store and download "Note 8 launcher" made by Nice Launcher Apps, this app is the best samsung touchwiz launcher I have ever tested and I tried a lot of them, once it's downloaded and installed it's time to start tweaking with the app setting (I luckily had an S8 in front of me to help me compare) the hardest setting is getting rid of the all apps button as you don't need it due to the fact it has the awesome swipe up feature like the S8 and N8. You need to go into a setting called dock and enable editing at the very bottom then you can drag and remove what apps in the bottom you don't want and add which ones you do want in the bottom that you do want.....also look at other dock setting get rid of dock scrolling by changing it to 1 page and once your finished in your dock setting disable the editing, to sort lock your in your prefered setting. The rest is quite straight forward and you will also have to change the awful wallpaper it comes with (unless you like it)
Once you have all setting tweaked to the way you like it....you need to move on and get some samsung style widgets....you see a lot of suggestions on the net for widgets but I feel the most accurate when sitting right next to S8 is Xwidget app via the play store, just type in samsung and loads of s8 and s7 style widgets appear choose you favourites if you have the normal version of the app or all of them if you have the pro version. Then simply apply the widgets the same way you apply other custom widget apps to your home screen.
Lastly if you don't like any of the icons installed or available to the Note 8 launcher app then go on to zedge and get some from there as they have good selection as well.
This was all for a Samsung Tab Pro 10.1 but this will pretty much work on any android device and it doesn't seem you will require root (even though my tab was rooted) all you need is some confidence around settings and a little bit of paitents.
If anyone has any info on samsung system apps and how to get a real touchwiz working on my tablet.....then that would be great.
Have fun all
Hey people.
I feel like I need to update this thread as the method at the top didn't work out. For some reason the launcher wouldn't remember my setup and in the end would become a waste of memory and time.
I heard that you could set up nova launcher to look like touchwiz. So I searched around the web and found this post from XDA.
https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/foru...theme-nova-launcher-s8-launcher-t3583095/amp/
It perfect and does exactly what you need it to do and feels just like Samsung s8 touchwiz/Samsung Experince.
For the icons I downloaded this app
https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&s...oQ5YQBCCEwAQ&usg=AOvVaw2UNLhVoe-wCWql_eNnYhkF
Any of the icons that are not right then you can edit them via nova launcher and put the right ones in.
It's prob worth noting I was given a tenner to spend on Google play store after a mix up on android pay. So I got the nova prime and paid for the decent icon pack. If you got the spare cash then it's worth a spend but if you don't then I think you can do this free as well....plenty of other s8 icon packs on play store.
