So I recently installed the Paranoid Android rom on my Sam S4. This rom allows hybrid properties. I can pick between tablet ui, phablet, ui and of course the normal phone ui. Eventually I started getting a failure message that said System Interface has stopped working... The problem disappeared by setting my phone on tablet ui mode. This means that the statusbar is on the bottom of the screen and some system related layouts is tinytiny..
Now I'm tired of tablet ui and want to go back, but then I start getting the fail message again. It pops up every 5 seconds so it's pretty annoying. Any idea on how to fix this? Without doing a hard reset?

Running at 200 dpi on CM9 changes the keyboard to go tablet mode. I love the phone mode keyboard but the button layout in tablet mode, everything feels off. Is there a way to always force the phone mode keyboard regardless of dpi?

Using PAD build(Paranoid android) you can force it to use phone ui with tablet dpi, you could also try Da's hybrid build. Short of those two unless you set over 214 its will be tablet keyboard layout.

Like so. That is phone ui at 160dpi.

Not quite, I still want the tablet UI, just the phone UI for the keyboard only

Good luck then, hybrid is one thing, trying to force an app to render two different ui styles is another.

Using PAD, set messages to tablet ui 160 dpi, then set android keyboard to 320 dpi with phone ui. Might work.

Use Hacker's Keyboard. Phone or tablet mode it allows you to use 4 or 5 row layout and adds more keys. In landscape it has a number row which is great on the large Note screen. It's worth a try at least, it's free and open source (based on the stock GB keyboard but now has ICS theme).

Firstly, I'm typically an Apex user and really like that launcher but have used em all.
The issue im having and its been a while now and again on this new S3 phone is that the launcher(apex first and then many others i try) start force closing after i get to a certain point of customization. I get my shotcuts on my homescreens. Add my widgets. Tweak settings but invariably there ALWAYS comes a point when they start crashong and once it happens it goes downhill fast.
Anyone else getting this on and off? Any thoughts n ideas?

I am using Apex and have not had the first FC. I am stock, not rooted. I have tweaked about everything that you can.

So I have just installed the stock jelly bean on my phone and decided that the touchwiz crap used too much RAM so I installed nova. What I found was that when swiping accross on the home screen the folders and widgets would light up around the edges then "turn off" about a second after the swipe has finished. Another unusual thing was as I swiped the clock widget and would go back a minute while retaining the same time and showing two times at the same time. It shows the normal time the same time as the others go back to normal. So I thought I would try Apex launcher. I then found out it didn't he same thing with the icons but not the clock. Is this an S3 fault or is there a hidden setting for this?
Thanks,

P.S. not sure how to make a thread a question on the xda app
This is a well-documented issue at this point. The "fix" turns off hardware rendering via GPU and sends it to CPU. No resolution other than 1) using the "fix," or 2) learning to live with it til it can be addressed.
Thanks for the quick reply. I think I will just try and live with it firbthe moment.

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to get rid of them annoying water noises and get clicks and also is it possible to get a stock looking drop bar? I know I can get the keyboard
Thanks

seems to me that you have applied some custom framework. Which ROM and framework do you have?
Generally, for disabling water noise sound and click sound go to Settings>Sound, scroll to the end, and un-toggle 'Keytones','Touch sounds' and 'Screen Lock sound'
I like the clicks and that I just don't like how Samsung love to mess about with things that are fine how they are they seem to make things worse when "if it ain't broke don't touch it" I am on super nexus but it has minor bugs here and there and I'd like the stock apps eg all share and have better battery and ui
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
my advice is that you should switch to ROM that is more stable and has TW framework(because without you wont be able to have samsung apps such as all share because they are implemented in Samsung's TouchWiz framework), and you can install some launcher such as apex, holo, etc, and preserve that android-stock look if you are aiming for it
I'm mainly after stock aosp sounds I can sort KB and launchers

Update to Android 4.1.1 with the slide down notification bar
Now that the OTA is finally rolling out and people are updating, I think it's a good time for a thread about the differences aside from what's mentioned in the changelog. It'll give a little insight as to what's changed/added.
So feel free to start listing out what's changed!

So can you put emojis with the keyboard or they just show up when someone texts you?

I'm not sure about input but I know they show up like they should be instead of having blank squares. Here's an example from Instagram

Don't notice anything new right off the bat with the camera. It did take a while to update the firmware though. Still have to dig around
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
Here is a summary of changes I noticed:
UI is smoother than before with no hiccups yet, but that may be a placebo effect.
Notification panel toggles look shorter and waste less vertical space. They cannot be turned off anymore. Now you can only select which ones can be scrolled through horizontally before you have to open the full toggles drawer.
Default font seems to have been updated, though I am not sure whether I was on Samsung Sans beforehand and it simply reset the font.
Upon further inspection, it seems as if my font choice has been reset to default from Samsung Sans.
Camera firmware update, but I don't immediately see any changes.
When viewing photos in gallery or camera app, the date taken is shown briefly on the bottom left.
GPS location and Verizon location services have been merged into one option, it is no longer possible to disable Verizon location services if you want to use GPS.
Blocking mode, reading mode added.
Wifi notification can be disabled.
Play store updated to new sliding drawer, version 4.4.2.1 (this may have just been a coincidentally simultaneous update on my part).
There is a link in the app drawer to install KNOX, which looks like some sort of secure VM based on the text in the app.
NFL Mobile added (may have been in MI1 and I just didn't notice, but it is in my app drawer).
Contacts list is more compact (white space removed), you can now see approx. 9 contacts at a time. There is no scroll bar anymore, and the letters to quickly jump through the list are permanently visible.
Wifi location polling when wifi is off (as per Android 4.3).
Calculator is fullscreen (no status bar) with no way to change it, pretty sure this didn't happen before.
The stock music player can now play the mp3 files I have saved on the device. It always said that the files were unsupported beforehand, and I did not change them at all.
The dialer doesn't seem to lag as much when looking up contacts as you type (666 for "MOM"), but this might have come with the overall UI. It also doesn't lock up the phone for half a second when initiating a call anymore.
With Air View on, a few of the options in Developer Options are highlighted when hovering over them (not sure where this came from or why it is there, maybe testing for their 4.4 build, but I noticed it when going through the settings).
Clock app UI updated.
"Disable" in application manager is renamed to "Turn off."
That is all I can see immediately. I do not use stock launcher, keyboard, browser, or email so I did not check these.
Just quick question for those that got it, one of you said your font got reset did ajuthing else reset or get wiped?

Developer Option Reset
There is a bug with the new camera. I have all the animation and transitions set to off in developer options. Transition animation scale gets set to 1x every time the camera is launched. Super annoying.
Thanks for such a complete changelog!
Google Play updated on my VzwGS4 4.2.2 ME7 and now has sliding drawer.
