Looking for that split screen feature that came with phone - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

I rooted my phone with the shabbypenguin build but don't have the ability to hold the back button to split screens. Is there an APK I can download or zip to install for this?
Thanks!

I'm assuming you're running cyanogen? If so no. It's a touchwiz only feature as the framework is completely different

I don't believe it's cyanogen, basically just rooted with the sprint hotspot hack and custom recovery. I currently use the touchwiz launcher afaik, is the framework different?

If you just Rooted the stock firmware the setting can be found by going to settings -> my device -> display-> check the multi window check box. And you should be able to run split screen

[Q} What 'Launcher' is this?

I'm on stock ROM with tablet mode enabled (changed DPI in build.prop) and this is my home screen. I really like the app launcher being the discrete little icon in the top corner but I have no idea how to change settings to get that there on another ROM. I've loaded several different ROMs but always end up restoring my backup just for that launcher!
Can anybody tell me what that is and how to configure it on other ROMs?
That's the stock launcher in tablet mode.

I knew the answer would be simple. Thank you! So if I want that on another ROM I can just extract Launcher2.apk from this one and install elsewhere? Or do I need other files too?

Just put the other rom into tablet mode via dpi and it'll do it automatically. Or use paranoid android and select everything to be tablet without changing DPI.

I had tried that on Paranoid but was still left with the phone launcher. I'm going to play around a bit tonight though. I've got 3 or 4 ROMs downloaded and I'll see which one I can make work. Thanks again.

Messaging box color

Hey,
Just picked up this phone came from a Note 2.
Anyways i cant find any settings to get the messaging box where all the texts are from everyone to be black. its white/gray and it looks ugly with my swiftkey thanks
Cedric
Hey bud, I'm guessing you want to change the color of the bubbles? Go to the main text screen (shows all your active texts) and hit the menu button on your phone. From there you'll be able to access settings and change a few things.
EDIT= Just realized what you were talking about. I hate it too! I have everything on my phone dark and that's the only screen that's white. I'm not sure if you can change it.

Mines black by default? See my screenshot below.
But someone over in the theming section remade the apk, I think you can just install it, might have to replace the old one I'm not sure since mines black and I don't need it.
Ahh it's going to drive me crazy. And I don't want to root it.

Try this modded apk from the themes section. I believe you can just install it without needing to root

How? No idea, I've got the Rogers S4 up in Canada so maybe its our firmware? My SMS/MMS contacts and dialer are all black by default, wait till you have an unlocked boot loader and maybe flash our ROM? There's also no lag
If anybody wants to try to use my default SMS /MMS here's a link to a zip with both the apk and odex files you'll need to copy into yours system / apps folder
**THIS IS NOT A FLASHABLE ZIP**
**YOU MUST EXTRACT MANUALLY AND PUSH MANUALLY**
Side note : you make be able to simple side load the apk as normal but I'm not sure. Report back if you'd like
I can also do contacts / dialer as well
https://www.dropbox.com/s/xuepksbhn22lla4/SecMMS.zip
Might be interested in the contacts apk....first going to see if I can get the MMS to at&t to work

Hey buddy I would love for you to help us out. I'm not rooted so I'm not sure if it matters. I extracted the file into the System Application folder. I can click on the APK but after trying to install it, it says cannot install application. Help!

[Help] Nova launcher & custom icons

Coming from the Galaxy Nexus, I could change app icons on Nova launcher to custom icons I made myself which I placed in the Pictures folder.
Now however, I cant do the same. Nothing changes after selecting the icon I want. Downloaded icon themes work though...
Is this a bug in Nova itself?
Thanks.

I'm using Nova prime as well. Are you able to change your icons to pictures in your gallery app?

Yes, click on icon, hold, EDIT and change icon. The little window just look different than before.

I click edit, select Gallery, choose the custom icon I want, crop, select done, and nothing changes.
A few others are having the same problem back on the Nova launcher Xda page too...

Tried restarting Nova?
Menu > Nova Settings > Advanced > Restart Nova Launcher
You are clicking the correct mark on the left top, to left of Edit Shortcut?
I am running custom rom - [V0.3] Doc's Barebone aosp hybrid (WIP)
same problem
Since Nova updated to 2.1 I am encountering the same trouble!
I used to change stock icons with icons in my gallery but now it just can't seem to work.
I follow the same step as described above. I'm on a i9505 Galaxy S4 with Omega V3. I had the same issue on stock firmware.
Have you found any solution ?
Great news! The latest beta update fixes this problem.

Same problem here but I've installed the latest beta and the problem has been fixed with that update.
Install the latest beta (2.1.1) from here. This will fix the issue with custom icons not sticking

[Q] Hyperdrive ROM for MK2.

Im running a Safestrapped MK2. I'd love to run Hyperdrive. Which version should I use? I see people pointing others to the verizon thread all the time. There is a link titled "Safestrap" over there. But it also tells you to download and use the AT&T compatibility pack with it, and for those of you who don't know. There is no link to a compatibility pack there.
This one.

That's the ATT compatibility pack.
Don't forget the modules to get wifi and bluetooth working.

Ah ha! This is the problem. All the links he gave you were correct, except the link for the ROM itself.
This is the correct link: RLS12 Safestrap
If you have trouble downloading, look for Mirror #20. It worked great for me.
By any chance has as anyone used this rom in stock slot without error?

Ok. If you remember how you did it would you be able to share your experience please? I am still on mf3 and have listened to many people who claim its not worth going to 4.3/mk2. Honestly I stopped using Safestrap, because I didnt want to divide my internals space to add another alot. I tried a couple roms in slot 1 but really like the way Hyperdrive looks. By the way...did the note 3 launcher work for you or did you use the s4 touchwiz launvher option in aroma? Thanks.

Idk I like the Google edition Roms because its close to stock and you can flash gpe Roms on mf3. I'm running shostock right now but I had HD12. You have to download HD from the Verizon forum under the safestrap version then do the necessary steps to run it in safestrap like any other ROM. I would create a ROM slot first and test it out, you have to input att APN settings to get data to work and flash mk2module to get WiFi to work. Yes note 3 launcher works but I just used nova launcher over it.
