You can install xposed framework and install "app settings" I think it's called. It let's you basically have paranoid Android ability in any rom.

Hey, I found this in the lockscreen app. looks like this is where it's defined. If you get me the values that are needed, I might be able to hook you up. Feel free to give it a try yourself as well. It's located in /res/values/dimens.xml
<dimen name="quick_cover_window_width">247.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="quick_cover_window_height">307.54688dip</dimen>​
p.s.
This is also right below it. May need to be changed along with it but im not sure
<dimen name="knock_on_area_left">0.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="knock_on_area_top">208.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="knock_on_area_right">360.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="knock_on_area_bottom">300.0dip</dimen>​

Sounds promising!
Can you just edit and save or do you need to repackage file etc?
Also, that directory doesn't exist on my phone ?
Edit, just realised you said about the lockscreen app!
How do you decompile and recompile it? Which tool can I use?
Thanks for your help!!

Alright, here it is. I've changed only the two lines. I have not tested it. It would be a good idea to backup your current lockscreen app. You may have to uninstall it before installing this one.
Let me know how it goes. Link below

Thanks mate!
I've tied it and sadly the whole lock screen changes and becomes pointless , the quick window doesn't function either
Backup restored and up and running again. It's a shame but thanks for your help :thumbup:

im trying to find a system wide one so i can view them in apps like instagram or twitter. u know the black and white ones
I use Kii Keyboard for systemwide emoji and ascii art.
But typically Swype for everything else.

Try emoji font updater I use that one on my s3 and I would doubt the font on the s4 is any different. But if it is the app backs it up so you may restore I'd you need to. And it's great in combination with Kii keyboard.

[req] Port Touchless Control?

So Touchless Control has been released on the Google Play store, is there a way to port it?

I'm sure it'll find it's way onto other Android devices in the future :good:
Here's a third party app that does the same thing.

Yeah it isn't the same. +1 for porting touchless control but im worried about the negative effect it will have on battery life, the moto x has a dedicated language processing core for a reason.

Go to Settings>Apps> View all apps and find your app in the list. open it and enable it
Tried but its not in there

If it's disabled, it won't be in alphabetical order with your other apps. It will be at the very end of the list.
In the settings menu it is named Contacts.

Re-Check, the name might be. Contacts or it may be on the end of the list
If it's not, then try re-installing your rom or you can manually push the apk to /system/app/

So this app replaces the menu button with a recent apps button?
