[Q] Stock 4.3. Can't disable TouchWiz animations permanently - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys,
Do you have the same problem?
I received I9505XXUEMJ5 OTA and first thing I noticed after installing is "Transition animation scale" (in Dev options) setting has been restored to "1x" (even though I had it previously disabled). I thought this is one time upgrade quirk so I set it back to "off".
Problem is that it keeps resetting back to "1x" after i start Camera app.
Try on your own: Disable this setting, start e.g. "Contacts" app - you will see animation is disabled. Now close "Contacts" and start "Camera". Close camera and start "Contacts" - transition animation will be there and setting will reset to 1x in Dev options.
Anybody knows how to get rid of those animations permanently?

It happened the reverse for me. I WANT transitions and it kept disabling it. I've put developer options off now and its fine.

Hmm - i see you are not using the same phone and I'm not sure if you have the same software version (surely not - as it is different phone).
If i disable Dev options - I get all these transitions back (and i really don't like them).

I have 4.3 MJ5 (Not updated to the latest MJ8 yet, you know the OTA limit and Kies crash)

got the same problem with MJ5 and MJ8 , so disapponting

Only solution is install another camera app (4.3), the problem is lose all the features in stock app s4. But is a valid solution

Thanks for confirming this Braulio00. For some reason (OCD maybe) - I find this very annoying. I tried to speed up this transition but even if you change this to 0.5x - it changes back to 1.0x
Horrible.

Yes I know, it's horrible! I used the câmara app 4.3 for now to avoid this, is very very annoying for me because I don't like any transition, x0.5 it's fine, but x1.0 it's a lot for me.

I cant believe Samsung didnt fix it in MJ8 update, when it came out I thought its mainly for that, I think its the most annoying and apparent bug in the 4.3 update

I've found out that it's the camera apk that enables back to 1x the transition animation scale.

Newer 4.3 firmwares (like the MK8) fixed that.

I have never noticed this... I guess another thing to worry about... maybe there is an xposed framework module out there that fixes it ?

You can avoid this by not using camera or keep the transition effects 1X
In Crash ROM MK1,if I close camera by kill it.The animation will automatically change to "None",but if you close it normally,you won't have this problem.
I hope it will help U guy !!!

Why does everyone have to put FIVE ALARM FIRE!!! titles in their not so significant posts. If the phone doesn't have lock enabled this is a convenience feature not a security problem.

I mean seriously, do you even read any of the posts before replying?
1) OP said he's running a Villain ROM which means he's rooted and modded.
2) Another poster running Villain can't replicate the problem.
3) No one other than the OP (and I'm assuming even you) can replicate the problem.
4) Who knows what the OP might be running app wise that might be triggering the issue on his phone.
I know I'm not a mod but these little "crisis" posts that start out as embers end up being raging fires. Maybe its because of all the different languages spoken. By all means, if anyone running a stock ROM can replicate this report back. It would indeed then be an issue worthy of the front page and the title "Security Flaw in our phones."
Just to add - I'm using litening 1.1, and I have an enforced exchange PIN.
Double clicking the home button will not get past the password entry screen.
Believe me, I've tried all ROMs and various apps to get around the password, still haven't found one yet.

No SMS notification sound

Hi everyone I asked this in the TMO help section but havent gotten anything useful so hopefully someone here can help..
My sms notification sound isnt playing for some reason, I've done a hard reset and restarted the phone...The notification sounds work for everything else just not SMS. I am using the default sms app and have gone into the SMS menu to make sure notification sound was checked.
Any one have any ideas? I really not want to factory reset if possible.
Did you double check that there was a notification sound picked and not silent.

Ended up just doing an exchange works now
I have the same problem on mine, but it's only when I change the sound profile automatically using either an NFC tag & NFC Task Launcher, or when I use a profile scheduler.
When I change it manually it's not a problem.
Been driving me around the bend.
SMS sound
Hi, newbie here,
I have tried a number of profile changers with the GS4 ,currently Automatit.
All produce the same result,reboot phone, sms sounds work ok, once the profile has been changed, no sms sound unless you reboot.
Not come across this before with any android phone (Last phone HTC one X)
I guess it is a bug, hopefully there will be a fix before long?
Regards Shanks
I'm also having this problem, but what I notice is, if you disable the vibrate when ringing (no tick) under ringtones, the SMS sound notification works.
If you enable vibrate when ringing (with tick), there is no sound only vibration for SMS.
Can you guys try it whether this is the same as mine?
found this on another forum.
It definitely works for me UK Samsung Galaxy S4 on Orange
If you have a profiling app like timeriffic or llama etc it stops the sounds on your sms (even when its not meant to). I uninstalled timeriffic and it works perfectly now
Yes, working again

Definitely a bug,I have tried a number of profile changers on the GS4 and my HTC one X and the bug is only there in the S4.
Probably a conflict with Samsung Touch Wiz?
Hopefully there will be a fix soon as this is a basic problem.
Uninstall any profile manager restore back the tone
Not until I unwilling to remove my favorite app Phone Weaver, the sms tone come back again.
Samsung bug here
I have a S4 and I have the same issue on the SMS notification sound, when using profile apps like llama
So 2 solutions :
- install GO SMS like apps
- or change the profile using the power button... (not sure that a reboot need to be performed).
I hope that Samsung will fix that soon...
It's fixed

Same thing happened to me when I initially went there. Scroll to the top of the page and click login. It worked for me
Waited so long for this only to not install it on my 3113.
Installed it on my GF and daughters tablet already. It is a bit sluggish, but that is expected since neither were clean installs.
Honestly though, I find this update to no longer be needed by me. Since Cody found a way (and whoever else helped) to add the IR-Blaster driver into CM10.2 (JB 4.3), I find this to be a case of too little-too late. That is only my opinion though, of course.
But looking through this update on my GF's tablet I did notice some cool things. Only thing that she dislikes is that now the notification pull down goes over the entire screen, regardless of how many notifications it has. Is there a way to alter this?

Tried multiple times (that used to work for me): Login worked for the forums but not for downloads.
However, it doesn't matter, as the samsung-updates.com site worked fine, and only a one hour (1GB) download (not the 2.8 hours predicted).
Observations:
Chainfire's "CF-Auto-Root" works just fine.
There is no option to enable debugging. Yes, there is! On the "Build number" field in "About device" under "Settings", tap seven times to enable on "Developer options". That permanently adds it to the "Settings" menu!
You can make an ADB connection either via USB or "adbWireless", but "adb devices" on the PC shows the device "offline". Both work! A newer version of the Android SDK was needed on the PC ...
It only supports WiFi channels 1-11, even with the "wifi_country_code" database fix that enables channels 1-13 on v4.1.1.
Other than those and some cosmetic changes and minor additions to "Settings", I see no significant differences.

Observations.
I upgraded via Kies, got a message saying "Access to the software update service is provided to users in the order in which they request it. Try later" when I was trying the OTA.
This updates the android version to 4.2.2, if you didn't already know.
-The device is not vulnerable to the master key bug.
-The clipboard bug is fixed.. for now.
-Transparent status bar on homescreen and lockscreen
-New wallpapers
-Offline charging indicator slightly changed (color)
-Stock apps (SPlanner/Calendar, Browser, Alarms, Gallery, Memo..) have new UI + New apps: Group Play, Paper artist, Help.
-Device does not overheat now ,comparing to the latest build.
-Battery icon in status bar changes color depending on percentage:
1.Green: 100%-21%
2.Yellow/orange : 20%-11%
3.Red : 10%-6%
4.Warning sign "!" : 5%-1%
Pros: 1. More RAM. 2. Nice weather widget 3. Smartstay feature.
The device is not laggy/sluggish as some users have reported: I upgraded from the latest "UECLK7 4.1.1" build, no factory reset.
Cons: 1. Looks different from previous build, kind of weird - bigger icons and fonts, with more spacing between them. 2. White notification panel which takes over the whole screen. 3. Can't add lockscreen widgets with secure lock (Must use swipe to unlock) 4. Can't add swipe lock with pattern lock, like the previous build. (No shortcuts now, with pattern)

it should work if you checked one handed operations in the settings. this was the first thing i tried on the display model at the at&t store today. the guy in the video is kinda doing the wrong gesture to get it to work though. its not a half circle gesture, you need to swipe the screen to the left and back to the right real quick with out taking your finger off the screen. or vice versa.
Did that already. Still does not work. Dont know why. Hehe.

I'm also having the same issue, haven't got it to work yet either. Again, I've enabled it in the options but no matter what gesture I make, it doesn't work.
I've got a suspicion that there's another setting conflicting with it somewhere but I don't know what.
Does it only work on the home screen with the stock launcher or is this supposed to work anywhere? In the videos I've seen demoing it it's always been on the main home screen.

Please excuse the poor quality, that's my old phone (and the woman in the background is my wife, ignore her).
Believe me, I've tried every variant of swiping that I can think of, I just cannot make this work.
Somebody did a factory reset and after tried? May be some settings or app cause this.
I had the same problem. I solved it by disabling all accessibility services, in my case it was lightflow that caused it. If you enable lightflow you get a warning that talkback can't be active in junction with several Samsung services, which is on one hand exactly what happens. On the other hand it's not talkback that's activated, but lightflow. which is really strange : the message is simply wrong.
I spotted this thread here:
http://developer.samsung.com/forum/...=GeneralB&messageId=204387&messageNumber=2156
Look at post #35. This is a bug of the S4 but it seems to be also existent on the note 3. this is what also breaks the gesture for one handed operation .

This is it! I disabled all my accessibility services and suddenly one-handed mode worked right away!
That's a bit of a damn shame, as I need those services for my Pebble and to a lesser extent, Lama. Oh well, fingers crossed for a bugfix.
We better cross fingers very hard because Samsung had not fixed this for over a year!!!
To get this working it seems all accessibility options have to be turned off. I don't think any specific third party app is to blame as any of the ones on the screen cap caused the function to stop if it was turned on. If they are turned of it works fine in Touch wiz and other launchers tried.
Hope this is fixed soon as Lightflow, DynamicNotifications, Pebble and Tasker etc. are very useful to me - even more so when rooting is reliably sorted.
It's also worth mentioning that turning on any of these accessibility options also causes the standard browser to keep talking annoyingly saying "Page Loading", Page Loaded" etc. Further indication it is an Android bug.

Yes you are wright. This was the problem. But without pebble and tasker is not my option, so I'll wait for the fix it.
Really thanks for your solution!

[HELP] Disable S-VIEW

Hi fellow devs nd members of xda,
I have got problems with my Galaxy S4.. The sview is flashing throughout my screen without any S-Cover or any magnetic material. This happens randomly.. So I need to disable the s-view service and associated files.
I have tried the following :
1. Disable s-view from system settings
2. Renamed and changed permission for system/app/sview service.apk
I heard from another developer to change the value from OPEN to CLOSE in hall_detect file located at sys/devices/virtual/sec/sec_key. But I can't write into the file or rename the file.. The only thing I can do is change the permissions, but that doesn't help..
Does anyone have any idea how this sview works. It's become annoying when I play movies or games on my S4..
Many thanks
AJ

After KitKat update I guess! Didn't had this problem in JB. Deleted SecView apk and seems to be fine so far though ?

If you're rooted you could try the xposed modules, there's one in there that disables S-View.
I will edit this post if I find the specifics.

Install Xposed from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
Install my module http://mohammadag.xceleo.org/public/Android/Xposed/DisableSView.apk
It's as close as you can get without disabling the sensor. I didn't hook into the phone so that might still show the S-View window, but that's no biggie. Also, the Smart Stay icon disappears, but hey, that can be a plus

Have you ever figured out how to turn off S-view magnet sensor? I have the same problem with a magnetic car mount and it's very annoying.

Well people say just by removing the L1 screw in our phones under the back, the issue gets resolved.
There is one screw name L1 just under our cover.

First Thanks for uploading your files but sadly I think I broke something because I geting only a black screen with statusbar at the top even when I paste in your files back in and this happens since I accidentally delete my. (before that black screen with time, date and so on)
I found no process or app or autostart that contains "s view" or something like that. How did find it and how was it named ?

Okay I understand. My problem is I can't find it (screenshot) there mainly I broke it somehow but do you know if there is any way to install a app back into touchwiz framework because when I try to install that apk it fails.

You saved my ass, thanks for that. After getting root and so on I tried to follow your instructions. The App was there and I stopped it but needed only one tap (clicked once ->Force Stop) and then stick it on the phone holder but again the S View Cover Screen comes on (with time/date and status bar). I have no clue what to do now because I can't deactivate the app even.
EDIT: When I deactivate the app per third party app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.SystemCleanup.Inteks.org) the black screen comes on without time and date. So there is any other process that start when a magnet comes close to the S4 ?

Does your dock have something magnetic??
A magnet triggers that stupid sview.
Use any custom rom that doesnot have sview. It shall get solved.

Yes, of course the holder has magnets too so yeah I know its triggering that view but I thought that view could be fully disabled without a custom rom.
A custom rom is no solve for me right now.
The Question would be how the S View got removed in the roms then I could do the same for my stock rom.
Found out that the Hall Sensor triggers that but found nothing to disable or something like that.
