Problem with quicksettings and toggles - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good day all!
I've been searching around and have been able to find a reason or solution to my problem and I'm wondering if I did something wrong. I have an AT&T S4 (i337) that I have unlocked and rooted and installed the i9505g 4.3 version. I really love the stock Google experience and was really into it until I noticed that in the menu I seem to be missing interface controls under the settings menu to add toggles to the quick settings. I haven't been able to determine if that's something I did wrong during installing the rom or I simply can't turn things like auto-rotate off on a stock google rom, though it seems very silly to me.
I was using a Task650 rom on the GS3 and I really liked it so I attempted to install an SGH-i337 Task650 rom on my phone, which works great and I get access to edit the toggles but the S-view case doesn't work on that rom since it isn't based on the stock google kernel for the i9505. I was wondering if someone could help point out my mistake on this one, or if we really don't have those toggle options and need to rely on 3rd party solution.
Cheers!

Samsung GS4 Keyboard...for use on the GS4

I've searched around and found several links of the SamsungIME.apk which allows GS3 owners to use the GS4 keyboard. I have not been able to get any of them to work on my GS4 though. I've installed a custom rom based on Cyanogen and can use swiftkey etc but I'd really like to just use the keyboard that came stock with the phone. I'd like to have the number keys across the top without having to longpress or toggle them on. Does anyone know a way to make this happen?

AT&T Galaxy S4 with GPE Room Graphic Issue

Hey All,
I tried searching this thread before posting this and didn't find too much. I installed a Google play edition ROM on my AT&T S4 (i377). It works fine so far but I've been noticing that there are some green lines through the middle of the screen. They look like graphical glitches. I'm willing to accept it if thats just the name of the game, but just wanted to know if anything could be done, or if another rom that works with this phone is better.
It doesn't seem to come up in screenshots either. Anyway let me know if anyone knows something about this issue.
Thanks

Go to your developer options and check if any drawing/rendering screen options are enabled; some of these options can cause screen flashing/margin lines/rendering line updated/etc. If you have any overclocking enabled in a custom kernel restore your GPU and CPU frequencies back to stock and reboot If neither of those don't fix your issue I suggest using a more stable and well known ROM. I myself use a rom by @Task650. Zero issues with it and it's stability is great, very lightweight.
No glitches here. Must be an issue with the room you are running. I run ibl4st1ds kangabean 4.2.2 ROM with the mf3 radio. I side loaded samsung shealth and downloaded watch on from the market. Many Samsung apps work with a simple sideload with the GE ROMS.

[Q] How to add note3 keyboard to rooted s4?

So I was using Sacs custom rom. It was great but I was running into a few issues that weren't good for me. I resorted back to a stock MJA rom and recovery. I have added Philz touch back on and rooted.
I would really like to know if anyone knows how to install the note 3 keyboard back onto it which is available in Sacs custom rom. I've tried to run just the .apk but it won't install even after setting it to allow unknown installs.
Is it possible ? I really enjoyed the white instead of black that it is now or maybe there is something a lot more simple that I have missed.
Thanks for any direction people are willing to point me!
Nobody knows? I wish I knew more about roms because like I said the stock white keyboard is available while using sacs v4.3 Anyone out there willing to make it? I've searched all over and can not find a stock keyboard or a way to modify the colors
If you can't get the Note 3's keyboard why not try a 3rd party app like SwiftKey from the playstore? They have a white keyboard although not exactly the Note 3's but not bad looking at all.
GS4 Stock Rooted MJA 4.3,Philz Touch CWM,HotSpot Mod,Transparent Weather Widget,8SMS(Stock Messaging,KitKat)
Thanks for the suggestion but I have tried that one already. I just really like the placement of everything plus having the numbers available without having a long press is great. I have tried lots of the available custom keyboards out there but none stack up to me like the stock one does sadly.

Did you ever get this figured out MrWicked? I've been searching for the exact same thing.
Sadly no I've searched high and low. Tried what little I know to pick apart the rom to see how he did it. I just can't seem to figure out how to do this simple thing, or at least what I thought would be simple. Apparently it's not.

Any way to customize the cover screen?

So I have a flip case for the S4, and it has this little cut out of glass that gives me a black screen with some basic information in it.
I have no idea what to call that screen but is there a way to say change the black to an image, and maybe change the color of the text ?
Think it's not allowed because of the hit in battery. It's black and has limited info because of the oled screen. But there may be a way to customize.
The s view is what it is called. It can be changed with 3minit on sacs ROM.

Thanks, I have not got around to flashing a custom ROM after I rooted it. but I will check out that ROM or see if there is a way I can flash the 3minit framework to the stock rom.
It helps knowing what I am wanting to change. I was searching things like "close cover screen" and got nothing.

yeah with 3minit you can change color text and there is an xposed app that lets you display meta info from any music player like spotify and google all access i think it was called S-View Controls

I do have xposed installed , and that has made it so I dont feel the need to flash a custom ROM so far. The only real things I want to change is the s-view and remove a TON of bloat from the phone.
Here is a link to the 3minit framework if anyone else sees this and wants to try.

I am going to read more about it latter on, and see if it will work with a Stock ROM - Even if not, I guess its time to flash a custom ROM anyway.

I recommend Sacs Custom Rom, Its constantly being updated fast and good battery life, all bloatware has been removed and its 3Minit certified. Check it out.
Just make sure when you modify the S-View settings you don't pick anything to bright. The phones that utilize the s-view case usually suffer from severe screen burn in after awhile.

[Q] is there a way to disable knock on feature in KitKat ROMs?

I keep looking for a way to disable the knock on feature with KitKat based ROMs, but haven't found a way yet. I'm running SlimKat on a LS980 right now, but none of the other ROMs have had the option to disable the knock on feature.
It is great to have until I try running with the phone or using it to do manual work while listening to music. It keeps changing songs, opening websites from Google now, rearranging my home screen apps, and sometimes managing to call people.
Does any one know a easy way (or stable ROM) to have the ability to deactivate knock on? I'd love to be able to turn it on and off easily like WiFi or Bluetooth so when I need the feature I can have it, but when I don't it isn't a pain.

you should specify you want a solution for aosp based kitkat because on stock(the lg themed one that came with the phone) you can go to settings>gestures and turn it off/if the proximity sensor is covered it doesn't allow knock on to work to prevent it from unlocking while in pockets and stuff
BUMP!
I'd like to know as well! The screen keeps coming on while in my pocket. What file/code/apk/ect is responsible for Knock-On?
I'm running AOSP C-ROM 7.1.

It is mainly kernel which is in charge of knock on so unless you know how to create kernel there isn't much you can do

Access the hidden menu on your phone and disable knock on
EDIT: that would be for stock lg rom, but you could still try with your aosp kk rom
