actually there's no need to download the attachment. just go to the default theme folder, and delete away the search images.

Phone folders/directories

In thru OfficeSuite>Phone>System>Media, you find Ringtones and Notifications.
HOW can I put files into these folders?
My PC only sees the Mem Card, not the phone itself??
Also, has anyone found the folder for the Wallpapers directory?
Access to this also?
Thanks.
u can use astro from market it is file manager

So, I'm guessing, put mp3's into audio, wallpapers into pic folder on card, then use astro file manager to move them to the phone directory..?
Well, so far, astro has allowed me to browse thru the phone directories, but copy/move any files in there?? Nope.. I can browse the directories without any 3rd party apps, so astro, although easy to look at, offers no benefit to me as yet..
Yes you can copy and or movefiles with astro. When inside a folder hit your left menu button, select edit, select all, then manually deselect the files you do not want to move, then hit the menu button again, edit, copy-or-move. Back out and navigate to the folder you want too place the file into, menu, edit, paste. Sort of round about but it works.

I tried the same thing, using ES File Explorer (which I find much more practical than Astro). No luck.
Could the problem be that we don't have permission to write to the phone's storage, rather than a problem with the apps?
yes, u have not the permission to write in the telephone memory! but its not becessary, us the sdcard, it will work.

Sounds good in theory, however already tried this, and the "Paste" option is not available once i'm in the file folder i want to put the files into..
Also, still hoping someone will shed some light on the location of the wallpaper gallery..

Up in the top right area in root explorer, there is a button that says "Mount R/W". Press that button and you will be able to delete files in /system.

Disable wake with Home button!?!

Hey all,
I did a pretty extensive search for this with little luck. I used to have the Note 2 and disabling wake with Home was simply editing the sec_keys.kl file. I tried to edit all the files in the S5 but I can't seem to stop this sucker from waking with the Home button. I don't want to go through a bunch of kernels and roms and whatnot...simply stop it from waking. Has anyone had any luck doing this?
Thanks!

I don't think you can do it without rooting your device. might wanna search through the Dev section bud. good luck
Sorry...I should clarify...
It is rooted. I just need to know which file I need to edit. Here's the steps for performing this on the Note 2 but I can't do it with this new phone as there's no "sec_keys.kl":
1. open root explorer
2. navigate to : system/usr/keylayout
3. now press the mount r/w button near the top of screen to enable read and write permissions
4. scroll down to: sec_keys.kl
5. press and hold until menu pops up, select: Open in Text Editor
6. locate line: key 172 HOME WAKE
7. tap behind the word WAKE and delete it so you see: key 172 HOME
8. press menu and select: Save and Exit

Since it is rooted, you may want to try to install Wanam Xposed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/app-wanam-xposed-customize-stock-t2383484
There is a "Disable Wake Home button" feature and many more.
Do not forget, you need a Xposed framework for this to work.

[How-To] REMAP CAPACITIVE BUTTONS ON GALAXY S6 [ROOT]

HOW TO REMAP CAPACITIVE BUTTONS ON GALAXY S6​
If you're left handed like me, then you might wanna remap your capacitive buttons if you use the back key more often than the multitask button.
You can remap many other buttons such as volume keys and the power button, just use some logic and you'll figure it out.
As we progress on, you'll realize that there are many more things you can remap other than the physical buttons.
!!!DISCLAIMER!!!
I'm not responsible if this doesn't work for you!

1. You'll need root access for this, otherwise it won't let you edit the file
2. Go to Play Store and download the app called Total Commander (you can use any other file manager that supports root, but this one worked best for me)
3. Open the app, and go to File system root
4. Go to data folder and when it asks you, grant it the permissions
5. Go back and go to the system folder, then to the usr folder and then to the keylayout folder
6. Long press on the Generic.kl file and click on Open as, then on Text and then select Totalcmd Editor
7. Now click on the magnifying glass icon without an arrow in the top right corner
8. Search for the word BACK, but select the Whole Words checkbox
9. Change it to APP_SWITCH (make sure it's capitalized!)
10. Search again for the word MENU and change it to BACK (there may be two MENU words in the file so search twice)
11. Search for the word APP_SWITCH and change it to BACK
12. Click on the Floppy disk icon on the top of the window and then click OK
13. Exit and close the application
14. Reboot your device and enjoy!​

Oh, and I see that you may be using CM, I'm not, so I'm not pretty sure if the files are same. I used stock ROM on my Galaxy S6, but I'm pretty sure any other ROM would work, as long as you have the S4 or S5 or S6 or even S7 and the latest version.
