After 7 days of using this apk, it's asking me to pay for it.
I got it, and made my launcher get all buggy. Kept getting force closes, and my s pen stopped working.
Deleted it, now everything works fine...
This is my signature....
I FULLY endorse this app!I love it! I have had it since the time I bought the phone, and it's totally worth the money. You have complete rotational control and it has settings that allow you to set its function BY THE APP, so if you want your game app to run in landscape or portrait, you can set it to only work in one or the other! As an example, I'm an avid Flick Golf player and it only works in Portrait. If I rotate it to Landscape, it turns it off and makes me restart (reloads right from the beginning). By forcing it into portrait, I never have this problem!
This app is a godsend!!!!
Personally, I much prefer to just use a launcher like Nova or Apex that already has this function built into it as a standard feature.
If you don't want to do that for some reason, this app although it can be somewhat buggy at times is another option to gain that function.
Love this app. Must have for stock launcher. No errors so far.

just got it and its amazing!!! Thankyou :laugh:
Been using this app for months, stable on Stock ROM, Rooted Stock ROM, and Rooted BeansV6 ROM.
This app does work pretty good, my only issue is on accelerometer based games, such as need for speed. The car with just go in circles. I tried disabling it for that app, and even for forcing orientation for it, and the best I could get was for the car to do circles in the opposite direction. Uninstalling the app and rebooting fixed the issue. Kind of a bummer, but at least most ROMs have alternate rotations included, so the app isn't necessary.

Lol, I totally know what you're saying. What you need to do is preset Need For Speed to landscape, but here is the important part! You need to rotate your phone's orientation to landscape prior to opening up Need For Speed. If you open it up from portrait and it has to switch, it throws the accelerometer off which is why your car will always do counterclockwise turns since it is emulating the motion of rotating your phone as well.
Trust me, I went through this but this solution definitely works!

I've tried and tried to no avail as far as using my palm to get a screenshot. Is it maybe because I'm using ICS perfection based on the newest build?
EDIT: I didn't realize your palm has to touch the screen. Silly me it works flawless. Its actually the quickest way to achieve a screenshot

Is it my imagination:
The android keyboard is less forgiving?
I have way more typing errors than with previous bases.
The gallery looks blurry?
My eyes aren't what they used to be, but . . .
still could use more work
As with the previous leaks some of the issues were not addressed. Basically some will find this leak pleasant and others such as myself not worth the hassle (returning once again back to stock). I quess it all depends on how one uses their phones. For me the task manager (jobmanager.apk) is a must, task manager must be used repeatedly to accomplish anything. Next Bluetooth works, however when using it with Pandora and programs via data I lose the ability to control music using headset (some functions work others don't). Trying to connect to a call via Bluetooth during audio playback in news or Pandora is more trouble than its worth. Tap to zoom while viewing pages over zooms not to big an issue but prefer to have it zoom and fit the screen. Last but not least, I still think the note has the worst call quality of any phone I've ever used was hoping a ROM or update would fix this, of course this is my opinion here. I will give the browser one thumbs up (the other hand is being used to display a middle finger to this leak) it far surpasses the previous stock browser, I'm not a fan of the checkerboard effect. I haven't used this leak long enough to find any other problems.

I'm glad to see that the keyboard problem wasn't just me. I felt like Homer Simpson trying to type. Not only was it generating a lot of typos but it also seemed like the auto-correct was acting like a drunk Marine... way too aggressive and usually wrong. The strange part is that I encountered the exact same problem with the android keyboard, the samsung keyboard, ICS keyboard, A.I. Type, and Swype. Swiftkey has acted fairly good for me though. I imagine there has to be some component, related to autocorrect, that all of the other keyboards share but Swiftkey doesn't.
I seems that the hidden menu:
*#*#4636#*#*
is not working anymore. I think this is a new issue, before this was always working.
I also don't like too much this new keyboard ... too many typos.
So is it the way the screen reads your fingertips, or is the dictionary a suck-hole?

Alternatively, search for "Rotation Locker madmack" on Google Play for a free app that works too, pressing and holding "auto" when you start up the app will make it run in the background.

There was another thread with a couple listed. I use button savior to be able to use back, home, menu and power/lock with spen. Pretty nifty, and stays well hidden. GMD gestures is another good one to customize spen gauss with and without pen button. I don't use it though, it's only five bucks too.
Edit: Pixlr, Nova, and JuiceDefender as well. Misread the subject, I thought it was spen apps :|

IMHO Nova Launcher is the first thing this phone needs out of the box. Makes it so much more user-friendly, and keeps waste of screen space to a minimum.

I know I saw it somewhere in here but can't find the message again. Where is this option, and the rest of the dev options?
Assuming your developer options are still hidden. Go to about phone and tap build number repeatedly until it says it has unlocked developer options. Then you should see that in settings and your force gpu is there.

Not at all, the S4 does not lag one bit. I would NEVER recommend enabling it, it comes disabled stock for a reason.
People claim to experience "laginess", but this is perceived due to having a 3rd party launcher. Install ANY launcher and look at the delay between tapping an icon and the app actually opening. On the stock launcher, it is INSTANT. Don't know how I managed to go off topic but hope I answered your question.

This, I use to be a big supporter of a popular launcher but I realized that there is almost always going to be lag with them. Its better to find an awesome ROM and go stock imo.
On the topic of gaming, not all emulators are the same.. I use to use a paid PSX emulator but had to switch to a new Gmail so I had to start over and was using a free PSX emu. While I finally got my S4 2.0 MHL adaptor in from Samsung and was gaming. I see that the performance is a bit laggy and slow (40-43fps). Having done my research and knowing that its not the phone's fault or the adapter, I conclude that its the app so I buy the paid app I use to use (FPse) and boom, 59-60fps consistently
I can only dream until we can get it ported properly to lg g2. Icons seem huge same with app drawer. :victory:
Yea I saw a video where they made them a little bigger.

I set this up quickly, but then killed it because it disabled knock on. Also the nav bar was still the LG one so it kind of looked weird to me. And yes the icons were garrishly large. I liked the 5x5 grid on the stock launcher and this made me feel like I was using a Fischer Price launcher with the huge buttons. The killing blow for me was that I could not switch easily back to stock launcher and had to uninstall the new 4.4 launcher.
if it could work with Knock on, I might give it another go. (unless I was doing something wrong and there s a way to make it work.)

If you long press in the middle of the screen you get the options to pop up as well.
So, can "OK google" be installed by itself? Or does it require apks other than google search? What I'm curious about is, does it fully integrate with calender, etc.?And for those that did install it, how is the battery with it on? Can it be turned off, or does it require uninstall?
I have the launcher installed and the Google search and play services. But I cannot for the life of me get OK Google to work.
