Help resizing apps! - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys
since we tave tablets..naturally the app passcode screen is huge
is it possible and if so how can it be made much smaller etc?
thx in advance!

Same question here.
But I believe it depends on each app.

Yeah..im wondering if root can resize app passlocks???

Nope, unless there was an app for that purpose that requires root

[Q] Looking for a Smart Screen Lock App

Hi there,
So I was looking for an app and done some searches but cant seem to see one out there. I`d thought I would post here as if there isnt one it could be a pet project for someone
Basically the app I am looking does this:
When on my local wifi network the screen lock is a simple pull down. However, when I venture outside it becomes a pattern/pin based lock screen.
So I wondered if there is an app out there that meets these prerequisites?
Thanks for reading!

Are you on JB ? Flash the Alex V S2W kernel, then you can turn the phone on and off by sweeping the touchbuttons !

Disable Touch Key Backlight on Google Edition

I hope someone can help me out with this (I guess most of my posts arent worth bothering with as they usually go untouched by anyone). I'm trying to figure out a way to disable the touch button backlight on a Google Edition ROM. I have been searching for an answer since the Google Edition hit. All I can ever find is how to disable on GSIII ROMs (non ge). If anyone can please help me out I would very much appreciate it. Thanks!

Screen Filter is an app that can disable the backlight of the softkeys. Set it to auto-start at boot and you should be good. I know its not a direct fix but its a low impact app that shouldnt effect battery life or operation.

Seems to work for me. Did it dim the screen at all (thats its main function)? Did you see the check box "enable softkey back light" (uncheck it) at the bottom of the app ui?

Yes, it did dim the screen, but if i uncheck the enable softkey back light, anytime I touch the screen the backlights still come on. Are you on a G.E. rom? I am currently on Infamouse G.E.

No im not. I am on AOSP (Slim Bean) though.
There are options to do this in AOKP and CM roms. Anybody know how those builds pull it off?
Give me a minute to shower and I'll write you an app. All you have to do is install my app, reboot, grant it root access, and profit.

Okay i am having troubles setting it to off on boot. But here is a "toggle" version of it where you can toggle them on or off. Will try and fix the boot issue tomorrow.
SWEEET!!! Works like a charm thanks dude! Like I said, I've been searching for this forever! I know that many others have been searching for this, perhaps you should make a thread in the mods section.

SideSync 3.0 and Note 3

I've been using the 8.4 for a few days now and while I really enjoy the SideSync feature to sync up my Note 3 phone when it's not on hand, I haven't been able to open a keyboard to actually type anything, respond to a text message etc.
I was wondering if there is anyway to activate a keyboard.
Thanks!
My keyboard auto pops up.

Same here, but I can't get mine to connect without launching the phone app each time
I have to launch the app each time too.
Does your battery on your note 3 not like just drop like a rock? Seems for me when it is connected by wifi direct it just drops like a rock.
I found the solution. I installed a S5 keyboard on my note 3 and it worked after that. I'm running Effortless rom on my t-mobile note 3, that's where I got the keyboard linked below.

Thanks! Working great now. Last question - is it possible for me to install a zip file without having a rooted phone? My note 3 isn't rooted.
To install that particular zip, you need root. It needs to write that keyboard to the system folder which is only writable if you have root

Grabbed the zip and flashed it. But now my Samsung Keyboard isn't working at all - I'm getting a force close whenever it's set as the default.

So has anyone solved this problem of having to launch the app on the phone each time? It'd be much more useful if we can keep the app running on the phone so we don't actually have to physically get the phone in order to use it.
I saw in the ads that we can answer/make calls from sidesync... but when i tried it won't allowed me.. is it just me?

I was told by a samsung sales guy in Best Buy, that for now, only the S5 phone can be used for calls in the ablet in sidesync.

no rumour, sammobile tweeted " Lollipop will be released around March/ April "
So how will Lollipop work given the buttons that are available on the Tab S e.g. Home , previous apps and Back buttons?

I don't see how its a problem. All the Samsung phones have the same arrangement of buttons. Verizon has already released it for the Galaxy S5.

Lol, I disabled that damned capacitive keys!
I only use gestures from GMD gesture control for back and recent apps
Hope to see Lollipop soon on this great device!
Here is a video of Lollipop in the meanwhile!

How do you disable those keys? And do you need to reboot to make this active or could it be done on the fly? They do bother me when I'm holding the tablet (10.5) in portrait mode.
I'm also using GMD gesture on tablets, much easier than using those buttons.
Edit: never mind, just found there's a thread about it.
Why don't you just root it and ROM it blisspop

I don't think it's possible without rebooting
You have to edit 'generic.kl' file in /system folder, of course you need root

You've made multiple posts on this. That's normal for a VPN.

Yes, stop using DNS66 and iy will go away. It doesn't take an Android pro to look under the notification settings.

Hmm w/e. I'm just trying to be polite. I don't want to stop using DNS66 as it's a good adblocker app. You've got a similar app ?

They all do the same thing, because they all use VPN
