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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2276611
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.

Well, neldar and morfic of xda have done it, there is now a working back light notification for the Nexus s! morfic has included it in his latest kernels, Honity12 and Honity14. but, you do need the BLN control market app to make it work. there is a free version and a pro version in the market, i recommend the pro version. it has much more options, including controlling the speed of the blink. heres a video demo of BLN on my nexus s--> http://goo.gl/tUcD6
also, heres morfics Honity thread, download links for the kernels are in the op--> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=973125
Fantastic!
I have been waiting for this
Working perfectly for me! Great work.

weeee finally thanks for letting us know
Cool it works. So pretty much we have to buy the pro version if we want it to be useful at all? Right now when I get a notification it turns on the button LEDs for like 2 seconds then turns off, and that's it, doesn't keep pulsing...
wait for this since i bought this phone now its perfect!!
waiting for a BLN kernel which work with the NSCollab ROM

yea, you do need the pro app to get the full features. on the free app, itll blink again(like every minute or so), just not right away.
thanks for the heads up! I guess it's time to change kernels for the first time for my nexus s. Didn't see the need to in the past, as I don't really need more speed.
backing up CM7_RC2 right now, and getting ready to flash the kernel and buy the BLN app
edit: sorry to go off topic, but does anyone know of anyway I can make notification sounds repeat like they did on NoLED?
can you control what icon will be shown
WOW sounds great
Question
Can i control it to the level that -
SMS will light the HOME botton
Mail will light the SEARCH botton
MISSED CALL will light both BACK & HOME bottons
??
Well, I'm using this kernel and it seems to be causing issues where the capacitive buttons are unresponsive on screen unlock. I think morfic is trying to fix this. I seem to have stumbled across a work around that I can't post on the developer thread(being "new" and all). Don't know whether anyone else has mentioned it.
If I leave the BLN test notification in my notification bar alone. Then the issue doesn't crop up any more and my buttons and BLN feature work fine.
Sorry, scratch that. That was a bit premature. The issue is back when I leave a notification unattended and lock my screen. My bad.

sadly not for all nexus s user
I've found a bug with the kernel where if on keylock you touch the shortcut buttons. Once you do that they light up and it doesn't fade away, only happens when I take it out my pocket. Also sometimes the buttons when unlock done illuminate and aren't clickable resulting in a restart.
Has anyone else seen this? If not it might be down to my set up.
Same problems here. You might want to try morfics s10 BLN v3 test kernel.

BLN is very buggy. when charging the phone and getting a notification it will cause the phone to freeze or reboot. Also when getting a notification and unlocking the phone the cap buttons will not always light. Locking and unlocking the phone will fix this problem but not always.
Even after uninstalling BLN, the cap button weirdeness persists. Only way to fix it is to restore from a backup or install a new ROM. I'm using CM7 11 w/ honity12 at stock speeds.
When BLN works its awesome. Hopefully they can fix these problems before I install it again.

Actually, what you need to do is use another kernel (which coincidentally happens when you restore a backup or install another ROM).
So does the backlight notification work if I just purchase the pro app from the market or do I need to install the kernel? I plan to install Og's kernel with voodoo features so I was wondering.. can multiple kernel be installed? No right?

You can only have one kernel at a time.
It's a pity it only works with some ROMs, I like to cook my own ones making them as tiny as possible, removing unused apps and changing ringtones and notification sound for my own ones
As long as you're basing your cooked ROM on a ROM that has a BLN-enabled kernel, you can use that kernel.
For example, if your ROM is basically a CM7 with some modifications, you can use any CM7-compatible kernel and it should work.

Problem is the ROM I like to use is a very stock one with some modifications done with dsixda's kitchen.
I'll start reading about kernels and how to change them, maybe I can combine my ROM with that kernel
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!
I currently own a ATT S4, it's rooted with Wanam Xposed Framework, Nova launcher, Stock Nexus messaging app, etc... And I must admit I really like this phone a lot, after having an Nexus 4, and Galaxy Nexus before that. The battery life on this S4 is freaking amazing, easily 50% better than my Nexus 4. I get 5h -5.5h On Screen time every day, and I really like the 1080p screen, very beautiful. And this phone is plenty fast for me, no lag with Nova set to "Faster than Light"
TouchWiz is pretty much hidden away with all the other .apk's I have installed. But the one thing I HATE on TW is specifically the Dialer and Contacts. Swiping to make a phone call is ****ing stupid, and not being able to swipe from the contacts to the phone dialer is another mistake.
And pressing the Phone app, or the Contacts app, are the only two apps, that have a slight pause or delay, not really lag, just a pause till it opens up. No other app does that, everything else opens up in a blink of an eye.
But other than that, I do like TW, and the other cool features it has, and I use. But would love to find a stock Nexus Dialer and Contact .apk, but not sure those would ever work on a TW phone ? And I can't flash any zips, due to being on MF3 firmware I can only do .apk's with Root Explorer. Is there something similar to the stock Nexus dialer/contacts on the Play Store ? And something that is not laggy or worse than even the stock TW ? Some of the Play Store might look like a stock Nexus app, but are actually slower, and worse.
I found this app on the Play Store, and it seems very much like a stock nexus dialer, pretty quick, and light
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dexetra.dialer&hl=en
Checked my Greenify settings, this 'dialapp' is running big time in the background, with lots of wake times. Looks I need to delete it now. Dang, can't I just install the stock Nexus dialer from an older 4.2.2 build, and delete the Samsung TW dialer ?

Try exdialer and contacts that's what I use and love it. You can change the interface to make it look like how you want. Try it out https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.modoohut.dialer

I tried both apps, Dialerapp and ExDialer, and they were good, but still have TouchWiz running behind them, when pressing to hang up, it shows the TW interface there, or some other areas still show TW. I thought these apps would erase and get rid of TW 100%, guess not.
I suppose I could try to delete all Samsung Phone / Dialer .apk in /system with Root Explorer ? Would love to be able to push a 4.2.2 based CM10.1 phone.apk, but I think that might screw things up ?

Find a guide to try flashing the zip. I think either you would have to change the script of your device and edit it or flash the zip via safestrap. I usually look into the international theme forum they have a bunch of great ports that work for our phone also.

was there any solution????
I've just gone back to Touchwiz after using CM11 for a while, and I really want a circular battery with percentage in the notification bar. I've tried searching high and low for a mod that I could flash, but I've decided that it might be easier to just make my own replacing the battery*.qmg in the root/system/media folder. Only trouble is, I don't know what size the images have to be and I can't open the qmg files to have a look. Any themers out there that know what I need to do?

You can try Wanam xposed :good:
yeah that works, and it's definitely not as obnoxious as I thought it might be, after having installed Echoe Rom and Assassin Rom, I thought Wanam eXposed would come with all the other apps like the setcpu control and all that, but no, it's just one app and you click it and it makes the magic happen. So thanks for pointing me to that :highfive:
so what i really like in my stock 4.4.2 is the knock on /off and I tried CM 10.2 but sadly I noticed I dont have knock off...
I want a simple rom...I like how nexus clean version of android looks and feels..I want a minimalistic rom...
I really liked the option in the oneplus one to drow a pattern when the screen is of and activate a certian app if theres a rom wich include it ill like to hear(I guess maybe CM 11 but I havent tried it yet becuse its still in nightly version)
I have a VS980, and I have flashed most of the ROMs available in the dev section for it. I don't believe that any AOSP-based ROM is going to have knock-off, so you would have to use one of the stock based (such as Malladus or XDABBEB). These in general aren't going to have minimalist look of AOSP based ROMs though.
Your other choice is to run an AOSP ROM with Xposed. I know that the Xposed GEL Settings module has an option to set double-tap to an action, though that may be a premium feature you have to donate to receive (which I recommend anyway, as it is an amazing module).

Another option, if you're OK with using a launcher other than the GEL, is to install the Apex launcher. I believe it gives you desktop knock off in its free version.
Using this launcher, you can use any ROM you'd like, as long as it provides knock on. I think most ROMs for the G2 provide that.
