Enable S5 Grid UI in settings - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps

I was playing around in SqLite Editor, and I stumbled upon a way to enable the grid UI in settings.
What I did was open SqLite Editor, found Settings Storage, then into Setting.db, then into System, found "settings-gridui" and change the value to "1"
I have the S5 found Note 4 and the setting menu as as a grid was pretty cool and to get it back on the Note has made me love this phone even more.
Try it out and let me know if it work a for you all as well.

Thanks for the find! Trying out now

I hate the fact that if you change it to like tab view or something, you can't go back in

Sweeeet! I lived off of Shurling Dr

Wow wouldn't have thought I would see somebody that stayed in Macon, let alone East Macon. I used to stay on Knightsbridge Rd.

Definitely, I'm looking in the SecSettings.apk to see if its possible to enable the grid view option, I'm pretty sure its in there somewhere

I'm also looking into how to get the UI to stick for the addition lockscreen options that's available. Once I can get them to remain optional after a reboot, I'll post a couple of screenies and some instructions:good:

Lol is this why you asked about the sqlite editor?

Grid view can be permanently enabled with xml edits. It will also give you the view options you are looking for so you can change views whenever you want. You decompile SecSettings and edit the appropriate xml file (can't remember exactly which one unless i'm looking at the files, sorry) to enable grid view and disable tab view. This combination will allow you to switch between the two views with the menu button. However it won't let you use tab and grid settings at the same time for some reason... only list and grid or list and tab.
What you are doing is editing the settings.db file which is fine but if you do a reset it will be lost.

Great find, I'll toy around with it and see what will come of it. Thanks for the info and instructions

Decompile SecSettings.apk
Look in res/values for bools.xml
I believe you will find the setting in there... i'm pretty sure.
Just remember that you can only set one of them to true. If you set grid and tab both to true, it will not work.
Save then recompile and push it into your priv-app folder then set permissions and it will stick.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing. Love it.

Can someone cook up a flashable zip to do all the work for everyone?

Needing some assistance with Launcher Edits

I am trying to remove some useless options in the SGS3 TW Launcher. In the pic below I highlighted what I am trying to remove. It is a redundant option and when you select those two options it gives you blank boxes. I have decompiled the apk and have searched through the xmls and smali. I cannot seem to find which or what determines how many slots and what it displayed in that menu.
If anyone has any ideas or insight into this it would be greatly appreciated.

I could take a look but don't have a copy of the sgs3 launcher. I just fell in love with the LG launcher. The way you can pinch the widgets on and off the home screen rocks.
I can upload it for you if you want. I already have it decompiled. If you want i can zip it up and link it.

Its all good man. I just now woke up myself. Get me some caffeine in me and I'm gonna try that. See what that does.
Well I tried editing the stringsxml and it seems to be somewhat in the right direction. Now when you long press the homescreen it just force closes. I have uploaded a zip that has the launcher in apk and in decompiled state for anyone that wants to look through it. Ive been working on this for like a week and kinda scratching my head right now LOL.
You will not be able to remove strings like that. any time they get called in the app it will FC if you do that. You will need to find where that string is being called in the xml or smali and remove it from there. Usually putting a 0.0dip width and height will remove them with no errors.

Right! I should have thought of that from working on a lock screen mod a few weeks ago. Unfortunately Im not that good with smali, baksmali yet. When I recompiled it, the lock screen showed up but wouldn't unlock the phone, lol. Ended up restoring.

How to hide navbar?

I'm currently running CM10. I have some major screen burn in from the navbar. I found an app called "dead pixel detect and fix" that can fix my problem, but I need to be able to hide the navbar. Is this possible?
Yes, use a rom that allows it. For now, cm X doesn't.
Sent from my i9250
There might be a no nav mod somewhere if you google it. Otherwise you will have to grab the framework-res.apk and decompile it with many of the tools out there, edit the appropriate files (bools.xml and all plural.xml files) recompile, and then either stick it in a flashable zip or push it back in and chmod 644 it.
download paranoid, as far as I know, is the only rom that let you switch between full and regular screen, I have it and use lmt launcher and love it.
Try Fullscreen toggle apk.
Just search Google.
No need to flash a whole new different ROM.
Hit the thanks button if it worked for you. ^__^

i didn't want to create another thread for this .. this thread is kinda sorta related to it so imma ask here .. anyone find a way to make the nav bar transparent? like in Moto Atrix HD

decompile framework-res.apk
/res/values/dimen.xml
Edit the nav height vertical/horizontal/portrait all to 0.0
This will not only remove your nav bar, but will make ICS+ optomized apps think you have one...so they show the native menu buttons in-app.

I'll have to try that. Unfortunately, I won't have access to a computer for the next few days. I'll keep looking for a mod in the meantime. Everything I've found so far only works for ICS or other ROMs.

I use Go Launcher Ex which allows me to hide my status/navigation and dock screens.

Request: real floating multi windows mod

Can anyone port real multi windows to galaxy grand?
I mean, not this basic multi window limited to two static windows that we have but the real stuff, with unlimited resizable floating windows, like here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2312004
I installed it on my galaxy tab and it's awesome, I can open as many windows as I want, minimise or maximise them like in a computer, pin them to keep them always on the screen, open any app as a window by just clicking its icon from the flash bar etc.
It would be really nice to have it on our grand, wouldn't it?
Thanks in advance to whoever will do it!
Nice concept!! Worth to have! @chotu222 and @k2wl knows such modifications!

i think we might need each other's help....i see that u are interested in getting floating window working for the galaxy grand and i'm trying to help the galaxy advance guys get their multi window mod working(the advance does NOT include multi by default) so i was thinking if we can figure it out then it MIGHT work for them also. If u are willing to try a few flash zips and file replacements then i'm wiling to help....of course u know i don't own a grand so i would be depending upon your reports. What i need to know first is will your phone still boot at 160 dpi and if so...does it change the ui from phone to phablet/tablet?
@unclefab
lets start simple...first add the line qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to your build prop. Next...delete the "com.sec.feature.multiwindow.phone.xml" in "system/etc/permissions" then place the 2 files below in the same location (don't forget to set proper permissions).
edit: If u are on MF7(actually shouldnt matter) u can just flash the zip below (i would try it anyway...just be sure to backup before u begin) or u can pull the 2 permissions files and do it manually...the package already has the build prop edited with the above line and dpi is set to 160 but may need to be changed to 200/213

The one in the notification bar will disappear once u delete phone.xml...the one in settings should show up when u add tablet.xml which means u probably need to check permissions.

I set up the right perms from the beginning mate
I have the xposed multi windows manager from before, with all apps allowed.
But no fun, pushing the back button doesn't do anything, No mini tray arrow, unlike with the tab 7...
By the way, thank you to take in charge this thread, cuz the "devs" here in grand forum seem to be more interested with fancy colours in their notification bar or s4 wallpapers.
But at their credit I have to admit that floating multi window is harder to realise than changing colors in the system ui

Which dpi? For the whole phone? Or for a specific app?
Ok, let me try first with some specific apps.
Another problem is that the grand flashbar doesn't display properly if it's dpi is below 230, I had tried previously. It appears, but the lower part is missing and its impossible to edit it.

Changing dock icons on TouchWiz

Well I would really like to change the icons on my tablet but whenever I go edit to move the icons around there is no option to change the docked ones. I have been using apex/nova launcher but find this slows the device down slightly. Anybody know how to change them without a launcher???

If you want to just change the apps that are in the dock all you have to do is hold and drag them to the desktop or trash bin. To add apps to the dock just add shortcut to any screen then hold and drag it to the dock. Changing icons is more complicated because of the lack of built in icon theme support in TW. Not sure you can at this time without being able to use xposed + icon packager or something similar and/or doing manually which is time consuming.

This doesn't work. Holding the icons do not do anything. I can only tap on it to open the app.
And the approach use on galaxy note ii etc by changing to customisable grid in app drawer doesn't work either as dock disappears in app drawer.

Samsung has disabled the ability to change the dock icons for some countries, e.g. stock Australian ROMs. This may have been a result of local legal challenges by Apple. Options are to use another launcher, like Nova Prime, or root the tablet and edit a file to restore the ability to edit dock icons.

Sure, it's /system/csc/others.xml. Find the line <CscFeature_Launcher_ReplaceHotseatAreaInEditMode> and change the value from TRUE to FALSE. Then save and reboot. After that, you can edit your dock.

Sure, it's /system/csc/others.xml. Find the line <CscFeature_Launcher_ReplaceHotseatAreaInEditMode> and change the value from TRUE to FALSE. Then save and reboot. After that, you can edit your dock.

You are a ****ing Legend.
I just got the SGS5 and I don't have any complain about the touchwiz except not be able to move the icons from the doc.
I should add though, if someone is not familiar on how to edit the .xml file please follow below link

Found S-View Wallpaper - how to sorta

No Expert, but after digging I found where that wallpaper is located. As mentioned no expert but I was able to change mine, it will still show default wallpaper when setting color in accessory but the one you place is displayed. It is located in:
framework-res.apk in res\drawable-sw360dp-xxhdpi\mainbg_pattern_mainarea.png
I just pulled to desktop, opened with 7-zip, replaced, pushed.
Maybe someone with more theming experience can create a better way to mod it so that you don't have to set the color as it takes away from the actual image. Tried taking a screen shot but no go. Just using solid black background with size 1002x891and naming it the same as what it was in that dir.
If i helped, hit thanks!

Did you read what this does? Sorry, this is for sview background for those that have the sview case not changing the homescreen background, wouldn't have to edit the framework file for that.
