http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZLYox-tThc
which is a Halo Lockscreen that in the tutorial it says is for android and to put the file in the system data folder but galaxy s4 does not have that? I like the galaxy s4 apps and camera so I do not want to do a custom ROM but is there a way to change the Lockscreen to this?

Correct but If I flash it wont I loose TouchWiz and such on phone...? Also I have looked all over for how to change the S4 lockscreen and I cant find anything anywhere. The only thing I can find is how to change the Life Companion text off it...

I havent had any problems with root explorer. Ive used it to move files from dropbox to folders, delete bloatware, create folders for ringtones/notifications that i imported and install a few .apk's. Is there something i'm missing or should keep an eye out for?

Mind sharing the modified mms.apk? What is exactly "modified"?

Here is the link that explains the added features and the download link. The only thing i can't get to work is the colors of the led aside from that works just as stock.

i also was able to use it before.. not sure if the update or kernel i'm running now killed it
I was able to install but it removes messaging app from dock. Anyone else with this issue? FYI this mod app LETS you send/receive mms while on wifi
I must not be following the terminal instructions correctly. when I type the cp command line it tells me that cp is not found.

So I followed those instructions, but I get a force close error after reboot. Now mms doesn't work at all. Ideas?

It works fine for me.
Removed the original Mms.apk in the app folder.
Adb pushed the new Mms.apk into the app folder.

Yeah I'm running a custom touchwiz where you can edit the bottom defaults and the apps. The new Mms.apk does remove the messaging icon, but with the custom touchwiz launcher that I'm using you can put the Mms icon back.

hi, care to share youre custom touchwiz launcher? thanks
I will post it whenever I get out of class. The only issues I had with this touchwiz launcher is that the google search widget is overally large and the samsung widgets do not load. So I deleted the samsung widgets.

So just the icon in touchwiz gets broken? Everything else works?
The custom touchwiz launcher I had didn't look right. The dock icons were smaller and widgets didn't fit the screen right. Anyone have one that doesn't have these issues

If we do get it, you will probably need to be rooted in order to use them.

Than no app can work for you becuase gmd's hide soft key does not modify any thing in system and build prop
let me know which rom u r using right now
btw did you tried fullscreen app in playstore it creates its own systemui bar so that you can recieve incoming call etc
yeah, I've tried any possible apps to hide the navbar in stock ROM without removing the statusbar, but no luck.
Currently I'm on CM 10.1.2, using expanded desktop feature.
I'm trying to get some samsung stock apps for CM10 too!
Hello, actually Stock Jelly Bean 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 would crash when you add the line to system/build.prop
I'm currently using JB 4.2.2 in this thread and the qemu.hq.mainkeys tweak worked :fingers-crossed:
But that's just on P3110, because I don't own the the others

[Q] How to flash a different app icon?

Hallo, I'd like to change MMS app icon with a different one. As I'm on CM nightly, I'd like to create a flashable zip, to reflash it after update (just the icon, not the full app).
Is it possible? Thanks!
You have to decompile the apk, change the image in the appropriate drawables folder, and recompile. It is not possible to just flash the icon. You could also use an app called Desktop VisualizeR in the Playstore.

Or you could just use Nova Launcher, from the Play Store. You can use any custom icon you want plus more. http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher

[REQ] Stock Lockscreen for AOSP

Hey - I've tried looking for this but I don't think anyone's done it. Can anyone port the stock lock screen to AOSP based ROMs...Jishnu..you seem to be the man when it comes to LG stock stuff. I finally made the jump to CM11 from stock on my D800 but I miss the weather and unlock animations on the stock lock screen...as well as the 5x2 weather widget.
Thanks!

You could give this a try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lockscreen.optimus I'm not really sure how well it works. I tried it on Mahdi once but I can't remember if it had weather and all or not.

No need to request it as its just disabled on your phone. Find the ro.lge.capp_lockscreen build.prop entry and change it to false and reboot. Or you can just install the G2 xposed module and enable the aosp lock screen.
Hi i instal g2 xposed modul and cann not find the function for aosp lockscreen.
