Is there an app for reducing screen size for one-handed operations like samsung published fore the note 3?
Would appreciate it for my S4 as well.
I know there was an app like that back in the days but forgot the name.
Options I found so far (which do not work on our device or are limited):
Xposed Module for One-Handed Mode > not the whole screen will be resized an certain apps don't seem to work
[PORT] OneHand from Note 3 (i9500)(deodexed) > only works for stock ROMs

Hey there,
I'm just coming to the note 3 from the S3. I hope I made a good choice
I've always used AOSP ROMs with the ability to change dpi, else my device just feels clunky. Having more information on screen, akin to a PC, really boosts productivity.
Which ROMS (either AOSP or TW) support DPI switching? What's best from your experience?
With Note 3 however, TW or at least Samsung Keyboard seems to be necessary for just one reason - one-handed keyboard mode. Otherwise it seems AOSP can do everything just as well. I don't need any of the pen stuff personally, smart stay, etc. Is there a way to get a one-handed keyboard on AOSP?
Otherwise the TW apps are just slow and bulky IMO (for example messaging can't handle 10k sms without lag)
The S3 with paranoidandroid worked very well to force the browser to think its a 600p form-factor tablet and show tabs at the top of the window. SMS convos would show 10 messages in one window and same goes for email or contacts. This was super efficient and worked well! Why isn't this the norm?
you have many rom with multi dpi
just look in title of the thread
There seems to be Reading Mode on S5 (G900F, still on ANE4) (launches for example when creating shortcut to Settings activity using Nova launcher). I understand S4 had this but I didn't notice it in settings on S5. (Might be worth creating a mod if it would be working)
When I enable it for an app, I do not notice any difference. Is it working for you or is it just me (too much debloating)?
Too bad no devs have interest in this subject. Reading Mode is not the only good feature which disappeared when moving from s4 to s5. There is also Quick Glance. The corresponding Air Wakeup on the S5 is a batery hog.
Well, little did I know... After loading a ton of lib and framework changes, I found a hidden feature nobody has posted as of yet.
Hopefully my screen capture will explain for its self.

I watched the video, and was surprised that grey scale is not recorded with screen capture. Believe me it works. Even background data restriction as well.
OK, I tested again this time doing a full wipe to stock 4.4.2 load, and only changing the ui apk to the s3 ui. The added power save feature is built in to the ui. It was easy to discover, as power save button, on the quick buttons, would not reflect what power options have been set as the two function semi independently. It would toggle but toasts would only be shown if no power save functions have been set previously or vise-versa.
One other side note... With stock 8.0 4.4.2 f/w, changing the module name in build.prop will give a 6 button quick settings over the 5 on the s3. Plus if you should use appsettings in xposed, you can get twlauncher to have a single file app drawer like 4.2.2 with small icons, and a pull out nub that is smaller as well. The nub can be hidden just like before OK.
Also you get two added quick links in the lock screen, which are spen and quick shot. The extra power save functions are not included. Both 9005A or F and 900A or F work fine, s4 and s5 respectively.
Hi there, i created this thread because i would like to know (as a freind of mine just got the brand new HTC OnePlus One) if there is a way to port his rom "CM11S" to our phone as he already run CM11.
In fact, i really like the apparence of the rom, sure it's Holo launcher with kitkat status bar, but it's not exactly the same we frequently saw.
And i like the blury lockscren or the "gestures support" that when the phone is lock, just double tap the screen make the phone awake or when he's lock, simply draw a V shape and boom the torch lights up.
Or the "fast reboot" botton on the extended power menu and the CPU frequency which we can set natively.
Surely it's just some features and nothing else but for me it's just super freakin' handy.
I think i found the rom he uses : http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/development/rom-cyanogenmod-11s-4-4-4-int-l-att-t-t2822636
So here it is guys, i hope we can have theses features on our phone too !
Thanks !
You can port any rom if you have a base but it's easier if the port rom is the same resolution & the same cpu type otherwise it's just too much hassle
As with the features well
Tap to wake will be a kernel feature so no point in porting a rom as that won't work - it will also drain the battery
Quick reboot just use a widget instead

You can set cpu frequency using an app like no frills cpu
Blurred lockscreen there are guides please search
As with gestures I'm guessing this is a launcher feature
You will have to find a launcher that has gesture controls or a 3rd party app that integrates gesture support
For example nova launcher supports gestures but I don't know if this is compatible with galaxy y
Nova launcher works with cm9 or cm11 galaxy y
You need to have Galaxy S6 or Galaxy S7 with Nova Launcher and Marshmallow.
Confirmed working on SM-G925F
So, to access hidden activities you need to add Nova Launcher widget called "Activites" then scroll down to "Settings" and select something from list. Some things won't work (they are not available, need additional permissions etc.), some of them are already available via Settings. I am not responsible if tinkering with activities do something nasty to your device!
However, there are some options that are hidden but can be very, very useful.
Hint - you can "test" specific activity by long press, there's no need to put every activity on home screen and test it that way. Also, applying settings isn't dependent on Nova Launcher, ergo you can use whatever you want after changing something.
Here's what I've found:
Settings
.DisplayScalingActivity - enables condensed view of system UI, same as on S6 Edge + or Note 5, meaning smaller icons and UI elements.
.IconBackgrounds - enables homescreen and app drawer icons background like it was in Marshmallow Beta.
.ModePreviewTablet - enables additional "Reading mode" in display options. It dims screen so I don't recommend using it on bright daylight because it can be harder to see assets on screen.
.networkconnect.NetworkManagerActivity - holy **** this one is nice. Allows you to select which app can use WiFi and mobile data. Also it allows you to select which apps can use data even after data usage warning is shown.
.RunningServices - shows running services, like in Developers Menu
.Settings$AirCmdSettingsActivity - S-Pen Air Command setting. It won't work since S6/S7 doesn't support S-Pen functionality.
.Settings$MemorySettingsActivity - Shows RAM usage options like on stock Marshmallow, at least I think. Very helpful for troubleshooting misbehaving apps or battery consumption.
.Settings$ZenModeSettingsActivity - it seems like this is Do Not Disturbed (DND) on steroids. You can add additional rules and select which events can have priority.
.UsageStatsActivity - shows usage for every app on phone. It lists app name, Last time app was used and for how long.
.wifi.WifiConfigInfo - very detailed info about configured WiFi networks.
System UI
.settings.BrightnessDialog - shows small slider for brightness
.DessertCase - old KitKat hidden animation from About
.egg.MLandActivity - hidden MM game
List will be updated with new discoveries.
Link for the widget please?
I am not able to locate it will Google search.
it´s a widget of nova launcher...just add the widget to homescreen
