S4 Launcher.zip question. - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

I found a thread in the nexus 4 section where there is a s4 Launcher with widgets and all. Now I'm curious if I should flash this. I don't want to brick my phone. Your input?

There a huge warning saying "TOUCHWIZ USERS DO NOT FLASH"
Otherwise I dint see it bricking...and wet use the proper dpi (xhdpi)
It's just installing apps...if nothing is done to the kernel/framework and most importantly boatloaders, there's little risk other than a factory reset to get rid of those apps if they were to not work.

OK. I tried flashing it before you answered and just caused a weird boot loop. Restored all good now. If I extract the zip there is no apk

Why is my GS3 being slugish ? Im gonna break this phone in half I swear!!!!!!

Ive had GT-I9300 model for several weeks now. Got it from Expansys. Didnt really notice this problem up until 1-2 weeks ago and its been happening alot throughout the day. I even tried factory reset and the problem is still present. Im talking about apps force closing alot. If im on facebook and im multi tasking or just using facebook app trying to view pics etc the app will lag and it will force close..sometimes this gets so bad that phone restarts on its own...it def. doesnt feel like quadcore at all.. the whole phone is just very slugish. What can I do here. Thinking about selling it and get gnex if this continues to happen without any solution.

mind mentioning the app name that force closes.? try updating the apps to latest version or try different apps for the purpose.
if you are still not satisfied with performance and going to break it anyway then please courier it to me

So you would blame GSIII if rogue apps from market FC? You should even mention the app names as bala said and whether you have restored data? This kind of half baked question will never get a proper answer
If you search the forums properly you will find alot of threads with advices how to remove the said sluggishness from your s3 via turning off certain settings like s voice and also heed the previous poster's warning about rogue apps.
When i turned off alot of unnecessary settings the lag came off and i can listen to music while playing HD games while having my facebook on the background.

Music on reboot or start

Hi. I tried to put this on the development thread but I dont have the proper permission. I flashed scroslers vrall4 stock rom. All is good except when I restart or reboot I get a musical theme that I can't shut off. I found the wave file, over the horizon, and first changed the name. That did not work. I then deleted the file and that did not work. Anyone know how to eliminate this. Thanks. GA

Try system/media/audio/ui/PowerOn.ogg
That should be the boot up audio.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
Thanks for the reply. I know about that and changed the name of the pwr on and off files. The music starts after the samsung light show during a start or reboot. Its like the file is somewhere else other than where you would expect it. I deleted it from the ringtones folder which was the only folder I could find it. It still plays so its somewhere. Its a mystery!
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
Does that ROM, even though it's stock-ish, support custom boot animations? The boot animation might be calling a different file. Try finding the boot animation and see if it is calling a different audio file?

Okay....I'm on the hunt. Let you know
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
Well. I have tried to find access to folders or files having anything to do with boot animation and struck out. I also checked titanium backup to see if there was an app that was obvious to freeze. No joy there either. Probably going to flash a different rom and see if that helps.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
Update.... my problem has gone away however I'm not sure what I did to fix it. Downloaded the 23 toggle app from the theme and app section. Tried to flash it in twrp, which failed because it did not recognize the zip. When I rebooted the music was gone and everything is as it should be. I guess there was a loop in the bootloader that trying to flash another app somehow repaired. Noob dumb luck strikes again!

[Q] No effects when clicking on a desktop icon

Hi after I have installed several apps , played with the input and phone languages, installed a new keyboard, and ultimatelly received this "unfortunately the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped" error the effects when I click on an icon on the screen are gone, the wavy effect is just not there and I have searched the whole phone for solution.
R: [Q] No effects when clicking on a desktop icon
The several apps right there might be a problem...or the rom is buggy (many are).
So tell us what rom it is, what android v, what apps youve installed that required root access.and if youve modded.any futher the rom or enabled mods already within the rom.

The rom is the standard one that I reckon comes with the phone.
I haven't had modified anything apart from installing apps and updates.
The phone is not rooted in any way. Nor have I modded or inserted into the rom.
I have updated to jelly beans. And the latest applications I have installed are koffice, swift key, poker stars, and I am quite sure I have been changing settings but nothing visual.

Some of them are, but some I have downloaded in a different way if you know what I mean. Hopefully I haven't caught a virus or something like that. Now, a factory reset will erase all my data right? And what else?

A factory reset is better than resetting a factory i guess....
Factory reset really seems best.
Just make a backup of your apps (use titanium backup) and then restore them
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
that's interesting, because as far as I know, the ripple effect on the desktop (not the lockscreen) is not included in the stock ROM. are you sure you're not talking about the lock screen? you can enable the ripple effect by going to Settings - lock screen
Yeh I am sure. I'm sure that it was there for some time after I have updated the os. Then again I have installed a great deal of software which I think had made my wavy effect disappear?!
And can I do a backup of the apps with no root access I don't think it's a good idea to play an expert and damage the phone beyond repair. Thanks!

Aye, what do I have to do? If you just give me a link to the most current method used, please.
The phone is gt-i9300 international. Thanks!
read the basics
I realise that. But there's a lot of people who suggested all sorts of different ways doing the same thing. All in all if you flash the rom solely don't it enables root privileges in a more effective fashion..? Thanks!

R: [Q] No effects when clicking on a desktop icon
The most effective fashion is the most complete one, not how you do it.
If youre speaking of flashing through odin modified parts of the rom so you can gain root access..then yes thats what i did (just look it up on youtube, make sure you write galaxy s3 international (if international version) and android version of your rom).
If youre speaking of flashing a custom rom which comes with root access already unlocked, you need to have root for that.
Its easy you can find it on google or youtube. Best method for now (or perfectly working one used by the most people) is flashing some stuff through a programm for pc (or mac i think, but im not sure) called odin. Then i advise (once you have root) you boot into the phone and install from the play store rom manager. Thru this app you may install a new recovery (basically safe-partition of disc, think of it as a bios or firmware for a pc. What u need it for is to save ur ass if u f***k up your phone, or to make COMPLETE backup images of your device so that you may restore them later on. It can also be used to flash other recoveries and therefore replace itself, or flash other roms or kernels. Its a MUST HAVE for anybody with root)

use any method, it does not matter at all.
but rooting will not get your ripple effect back. If you said that you had it before you installed something, then factory reset

***Updated*** Ink Effect 18 Colors for AT&T AMDL Deodexed

I started to work on the ink effect for the S4...
Requirements: you must be on the latest version which is "AMDL" and deodexed and have the latest recovery installed..
I have tested this on two different devices both running P-ROM.. One unit normal kernal and the other running ktoonsez kernel.
Now with 18 color choices and I fixed the menu layout as well...
It's compatible with Nottach's Xposed as well.. If you are running any other customs rom this could break some features that are in that rom...
Installing this will also give you the long press menu to kill function and 4way reboot...
I will be improving on some of the colors in the next update ex: making pink a little darker and pinker...
I will also be looking at the ink flow to see if I can increase it...
Install using your favorite recovery and as always make sure you backup your system before installing...
Have fun!!!!
On initial boot if your lock screen is black just swipe it to unlock and you are good to go.
Ink 18 Colors For S4
Not responsible for bricked units.. Follow the directions and you will be good to go.

No. I forgot to. I removed it though. All I did was take the files that were in your mod from the rom I was using and replaced them with the stock ones. BTW your mod is working great except for the color flash thing. Keep up the good work.

Just flashed this on my AT&T S4. After flashing I cleared Dalvik cache and cache. Rebooted and immediately had an error message saying "Unofrtunately the process TouchWiz Home has stopped working). I then proceeded to turn on the ink effect but every time I selected something in settings, I would get the same error message about TouchWiz Home not working. Good thing I made a backup before installing!
Really hoping the bugs get worked out as I miss this mod from my GS3. Adding the water drip sounds for lock and unlock would go nicely with this
BTW, I'm on Nottach's P-ROM with stock kernel.

[Q] Jelly bomb question

I installed jelly bomb last night and everything works super amazing! Thank you josh beach!! I just have one problem, when I turn my phone off then back on I get a little message on top saying "kernel is not seandroid enforcing", "set warranty bit: kernel". I just would like to know if that's normal? If not, what can I do to fix this? It's my first android phone so an explanation in depth would be preferred please. Thanks
I experience this as well. It is nothing to worry about. Getting rid of it would be nice though.

If you're not satisfied with the look and feel, want some more customization, then make sure to set up Xposed Installer and Wanam Xposed.
(From a post I made in the JellyBomb thread)
Learning how to use the Xposed Installer and Wanam Exposed is essential in customizing JellyBomb Domination, once set up all sorts of customization options become available.
For anyone who wants to change the look and feel of, for example; Notifications Panel "background" or add a "Call Recording button" to the Phone app...
1. Run your Xposed Installer, select Framework and Install/Update. Reboot.
2. Ensure that Wanam Xposed is checked in the Xposed Installer "Modules" tab.
3. Run Wanam Xposed and start customizing!
There are all sorts of Xposed modules available for download if you need something Wanam Xposed doesn't offer.
The Battery Icon can be customized several ways with these Mods, as well as through options available in Wanam Xposed.
Exposed is the shizz mos def
Also I have that same message on my phone and I don't believe it is a problem
