today screen plug in

right, ive had to do the 'clear storage' thing again on my phone as i was having problems with it.
now ive been using the same kind of set up on the today screen for a LONg while and i want a change.
I dont like the touch flo or windows menue style either.
i put pointui on last night and its good, but there are things i want to change on it but i cant.
so what would you reccomend for me?
my old set up was like this...
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Have you tried, or willing to try flashing a custom ROM onto your phone?
The Max Sense interface is based on Sense 2.5 (newest version of Touch Flo), but is HIGHLY configurable. It it doesn't give what you want, I don't now what will!
Energy ROM has it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=562773
Lots of people also like SPB Mobile Shell, but that is paid software.

i tried SPB demo but there were bits i didnt like, but i cant remember what it was now LOL
i am installing throttle launcher as we speak. ill let you know how i get on.
As for the rom i have still got the stock ROM

Flashing a custom ROM is not difficult. It might give you the home screen you're looking for, and may also alleviate the lag issues you seem to have (based on your signature).
I flashed my first custom ROM last May, and its so good, I immediately started wondering why I waited so long!

im rubbish at doin **** like that and ill probly brick my phone LOL
rubbish excuse i know.
but i also want a super light rom when i do finally do it tho.
throttle launcher is good btw, but when ya flip your screen it all goes away

Read the threads, and follow in the instructions, and you won't brick anything.

See how the first thread is titled "Flashing your First GSM Rhodium Rom (For Noobs)"? Its really written to be simple and idiot proof. Anyone can do it.
Best thing to do, if you are flashing for the first time, is read as much as you can BEFORE you start. Read the first few pages of each thread, and maybe the last several pages (to see what commons issues people have had). Same with the thread for whatever ROM you choose.
Follow the instructions carefully, and you will be fine. Usually nothing terrible will happen, but maybe just a minor glitch in the process that is not exactly per the instructions. That's why its good to read through the threads. You won't likely encounter a problem, which has not already been found by somebody else and has a solution posted for it somewhere.
Good luck.

fair enough, anyone wanna creat a super super light rom for me were everything works really well now?

i wonder how much a chef would want to create a rom to my specs??

How did you geth the icons on your Today Screen ?

Anything that is based on the sense/flo are pretty bad, they are just as slow. There isn't a ROM out there that is simple and fast, I have tried many of them and they're all bloated.
The fastest version of any of them is the default with the HTC Sense disabled, like you have found.
HTC sense is terrible and slow.

SPB Pocket Plus is descent: http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/pocketplus/
The closest thing I can get to Samsung's "Today Plus" from my Sansung Epix...which is awesome and really fast.
This SPB version is ok, the graphics aren't as good as the Samsung version...there are a couple of options missing...like the ability to see missed calls, voice mail, or email or text messages on the today icons...but it runs 10x faster than touchflo3d with maybe 1/4 the space.
I love the touchflo and sense look even more...but they take so much space on the device to run...you can't do much else at the same time.

Market fixed at 240 dpi with other LCD densities in build.prop

Hey guys,after a while I realized that quite a lot of people prefer lower than stock LCD densities on their phones.At first I thought it was stupid,until I tried it and now I can't go back to 240 without swearing because everything is too big.
My problem,as everyone else's,is with the Market not showing apps as compatible.So two days ago I stumbled upon this guide for modifying the Market.apk.I did everything the guy said to the letter(although I signed using Signapktik on my phone instead of SignApk),and it worked at first.I don't know how and why,but is stopped working after a while and it still doesn't work.I've modified more Market apk's,including the newest 3.5.15,but it still doesn't work.
Below is attached the latest one I made.I think,if someone can do something to help,many people will benefit from this.
Thanks in advance guys!

Bump!

Lol, is somebody else confirmed is working just for some time or for a long time? From which thread is that guide? This market issue is really, really a big pain for me. I will be glad to help you and other somewhat to fix this issue.

Yay!Someone cares! Lol

Yes,this thing with the Market is a pain in the butt.The guide was just what some guy in the Android Themes and Apps section followed to mod Market 3.4.6 .In his thread reports were the same.It worked for some time and then stopped.I think it didn't work for everyone though.
However,my knowledge on apk editing is less than minimal.So I hoped that someone more knowledgeable than me would take it from here.I tried and,for the time being,failed.Maybe I will try again tomorrow...

Turns out that there is a temporary solution to density problems with the market.We just have to follow a certain procedure.So,supposing we all want to lower our lcd density and not increase it,we should do the following in the given order(as LordClockan's IceColdSandwich rom says-it's based on AOKP I think):
i)Using whatever method you like(I prefer Root Explorer,but you can also do it via other apps or even adb) change ro.sf.lcd_density=240 in your build.prop to ro.sf.lcd_density=160.
ii)Reboot.
iii)Once booted,go to Settings>Applications>Application Management(Or whatever,my menus are Greek)>"All" tab and find Market/Google Play Store.Clear its data.
iv)Go back to your homescreen,open Market/Play store and hit accept in the prompt.
v)Then again,change your lcd density to whatever value you want.Mine is ro.sf.lcd_density=200 for example.
vi)Check if it works.I suggest searching for Mobile Odin in Play Store because it shows up as incompatible with non-normal densities.You can check with any app you know that is incompatible with low densities.If it works,you're okay.If it doesn't,repeat from step (i).
I found that,if not followed to the letter,it won't work,so don't skip any steps.I hope this helps until a permanent solution shows up.Unless this is a permanent solution after all...

I haven't tried the above method yet but this version of the market works http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23336920
You'll need to make sure market updater is uninstalled but thanks for this, next flash I'll try this out.

Well,I'll make sure to give that a try next time I get trouble(almost sure I will ).Thanks
However,what makes the method I posted effective,is that it will work with any version of the Market,new or old.I for one am using latest 3.5.15 with no issues.

Can anybody help with the issue i am having in touchwiz. Changed the density to 200 and get following screen issue.

Well, yes: TouchWiz isn't designed to run on any resolution, so you're having this problem. The Email app and Dialer are smaller than normal - they're not handling other densities than 240. Strangely, Messaging works just fine.

Thanks. Oh well back to 240
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA

Why ? unless you have poor vision (which I can understand), everything looks much better at a higher density; you should see it on 160, it's like a shrunk tablet
Just get a better launcher (Apex Launcher or Go Launcher are both good) which can be adjusted for the new screen density and you're good to go ! perhaps get a new email app and a new dialer if their small size bothers you.

Tried launcher pro and it was fine. But the issue with email and dialer would annoy me.

Saferoot.zip Look for it in the forums. It is simple and does not require Odin. Just connect to USB and run the batch file.

Can I put a custom ROM on this thing now? I'd really like to try PAC ROM. I definitely want 4.4.2 on it.

Nope! A no go with custom ROMs.
ATT Note 8.0 has locked boot loader and will brick if you install an unsigned ROM.

This is very disappointing... So I'm stuck?

IMO the samsung ROM is good. Just a wee behind. One thing you have on your side is rooting.
Once rooted, you can use framework mods to enhance the features.
I tested Civato's ROM and Kernel. Found it good but lacks supporting 64GB SD cards with Exfat.
Had way too many issues with Fat32 to call it worth while. Speed was good, but I realized after letting myself get use to the OEM ROM, there was not much difference.
If anything I recommend getting Solid Explorer Pro and Titanium Backup Pro..., they are worth their price on Google.
I removed all the apps that I can get on Google Play most of them are Google apps, but there is a few that you can obtain.
Once I removed all the Google apps... kept play store, I installed what I wanted. Don't bother with Google Music Player, it will run even when you reboot.
I kept Samsung Keyboard, and found it better than SwiftKey and Swipe Keyboard. As it has quite a bit of features you would not expect in a stock keyboard.
Setup my voice and language to be Ivona UK Welsh English, it is the best sounding of the English language. Google is setup to be the voice recognition.
My Samsung voice will be Ivona, and any Google voice in Google Now will be Google.
I setup a number of things with the framework mods, so it will take some time booting to completely load HD Widgets, if you choose to go that route.
Once ATT releases 4.4.3 in April, I may hold off until Xposed Framework gets a major overhall for 4.4.x.
I recommend the non framework version of Ghost Hide Root, with plugin. There is a framework version, but it does not work well with Samsung ROM.
Startup manager also is a good framework app, but there is a paid app that goes even further... I kept the Xposed app because it was smaller.
Don't bother with Power / battery apps... they tend to hog memory, and don't do much better than having your tablet do power saving mode when browsing or reading.
I keep WIFI and Power save mode on all the time. Yet to find a real issue with speed. Able to watch streamed movies and Miracast without hicups.
Oh by the way... I dropped Greenify as well.. seems to take up a lot of memory. I just stop some apps that allow not to be started during boot. Be careful, as some are part of the OS. I stopped All email apps, this way when I am wanting email I just open them. Also you can manually sync if you chose to. Though it can be annoying if you open mail for the first part of the day and find 40 emails waiting. On vibrate or notification sound it can be a bit annoying.

[Q] note 8 downgrading inquiry

hi everyone, first of all i have to mention that im a total newbie, ive only flashed a stock rom once and i was a copy cat nothing more.
I recently upgraded my note 8 to 4.2.2 which I dint recommend, Battery life has beem reduced to like 30%. so now im trying to downgrade it back to 4.1.2 which was much better imo.
I dont know which rom version to flash, there are many with different codes and country, here is a screenshot for the "about" section, please provide me with the best stock rom fo3 my tablet.

thanks in advance guys, and if u know how to fix the battery drain problem let me know, also some tips to prevent bricking my tablet while flashing would be great.

I have 4.2.2 and found most of my issues from Google Music app, and having over 45 GB of MP3 files. They show up as 115mb in the folder in system. HA!!! My MP3 files had some underline characters in the names. This is mostly from Itunes but MS media player will do it if configured in the file management for rip settings.
Once I cleared up the issues, I get the same battery drain as with a custom ROM which I reverted back from.
You should look for my battery drain / charge fix on this forum. It has all the fixes I could find when troubleshooting my issues with battery drain.
I get about 10% drain every hour with normal use.
When 4.4.2 comes out for Samsung Note 8.0 I am sure it will be even better.
Since using 4.2.2 I would not dream of going to 4.1.2. Haven't had it and find 4.2.2 has some features that 4.1.2 does not have. Just google screwed the pooch with Music player on their last two updates.

after flashing new rom make sure to do battery calibration - get app from play store - it will get you back to a more normal battery life.

Search for saferoot.zip.
You do not need a battery calibration app to fix your issue.
It looks like DVMS is your issue. Once rooted with saferoot, you will not need triangle away to clear your counter, just install four apps to allow hiding of root and disable DVMS.
First thing find Xposed installer 2.5 and install. On google play store search for Substrate and install and search RootCloak and install do not install the xposed version just the app. Search DVMS in google play store and install. RootCloak is simple to config and runs at start up. Xposed is a wee different, as you will have settings for xposed and various options to perform tasks, one of which is modules. From there you can activate the modules you install for xposed. Once activated you must reboot again. Yes there will be a few reboots before all 4 apps are running on your android. DVMS is an activate and forget app, about half of the xposed apps are that way. Though only a few apps will work with the Note 8.0 without any issues. With a keen eye, you will find that many of the smaller modules can be found in larger ones, Wanam module for example.
I have an extensive setup with Xposed for many of my mods. So if you have any issues or questions, I can be of assistance.
Yes, I find disabling DVMS to be the better thing to do for accurate battery measurement. Wanam makes both DVMS disabler and Wanam Xposed, the later has DVMS disabler as one of the many options in this larger module. You may opt for that instead, I prefer newbies to stick with simple tasks before diving into the whole enchilada.

[ROOT] Switcher 4K for Z5/XZ/XZ2 Premium v1.3

Switcher 4K​
Hi,
I built a simple app that allow you to quickly switch the virtual resolution between default 2K and 4K without a computer.
Unfortunately, since the command is not available on the userland, the process needs superuser permission to change virtual resolution.
If you somehow manage to break your resolution, especially leading to crash loop of Xperia Home, check on other topics how to restore the original values.
Since the custom feature can be "dangerous" for the reasons above, I added a check when save and switch custom values to avoid any resolution under [email protected] (Z5 Compact default values).
Min Android version: 6.0
Target: 9.0

Yes, it is one of the goal of this app, being able to switch back to 1080p without a PC to use apps that doesn't support 4K.
The phone app is the most common known issue.

Is the battery consumption less?

Not much for usual usage, I suppose much if you play 3D games.
There is another topic I don't remember where speaking about this.

When set to 4k, the phone app no longer goes. g8141

Get the screen flashing light and dark like screens messed when it's not though works perfectly. Then suddenly get flickering

Wow looks like weird...
What definition are you using ?
As described looks like a screen issue of your phone.. It happens in 1080p too ?

I saw that the best dpi on the 4k resolution without crashing any app wasn't 807 but 706, 720 or 721, I don't remember exactly sorry

This app do the same job like adb command (wm resolution 2160x3840)?

As far as I know, it does the exact same thing as the ADB command (except through an app).

It said that the newest file couldn't be found (error: 410)?
I tried the older version (1.1) And the program doesn't seem to do anything, is there a way to check?
