Hi,
I just installed the V16 Update for my Galaxy SIII with Ultima. The system works fine but I'm missing some things that were present in the previous Rom (V15.1). The main thing what I miss is the Touchwiz launcher, in the previous Rom I could decide which launcher I want to use, now I have an other launcher (I can't even tell you which one it is) so is there an option to get Touchwiz back on the device ? The second thing that is bothering me, is the CRT off animation. I just can't find the option to disable it like in the old Rom maybe I'm blind or something but I don't see it.
The only thing that isn't working as it should, is the application gravitybox, it tells me everytime: "GravityBox system framework not responding" I already found out that I may have to update Xposed framework and reboot the device but it just doesen't work. app_proccess is active 47 and XposedBridge.jar is 42.
Hope you can help me with this.
Thanks for every response
And sorry for the title I don't know anything better

Not sure on TouchWiz, as I don't use it... I'm sure someone will be along who will know.
The CRT animation is now part of the GravityBox settings, so until you get that up and running, you won't be able to customize much at all. Did you run the "Xposed Installer"? If so, go into that, and at the very top left there is a dropdown box. Choose 'modules' and make sure gravity box is ticked, then reboot.

Hi all,
so, I don't really use multiwindow that much but I tried using it yesterday and it didn't work; by "it didn't work" I mean that when I move an app from the sidebar to put it on one side of the screen, it just goes fullscreen. I tried with all of my apps and the same thing happened, they all go fullscreen not just middlescreen. I don't know for sure but I think something I flashed that day might have made it stop working. What I flashed was the Elegant Theme (that includes the jkay framework, the modded phone app and the theme itself) and also the CrossBreeder mod and installed the Greenify app. Before that day it was working as always.
My phone is on 4.1.2, the rom is Wanamlite V5.8 and the stock kernel that comes with it. I have wiped cache, dalvik cache and fixed permissions but nothing really did it.
Does anyone know what might have happened? Or if there is something I can do without re-flashing eeeeverything?
I really enjoy using multiwindow for multi tasking
Thank you very much if you can help me!

the jkay framework might have overwritten the multiwindow files. hence you can have a look in the mod (multiwindow) thread and download the version for jkay framework. flash it over it and you should be fine I guess.
I have found a good work around for those of you who may enjoy more usable space on your screen. With the screen the S4 comes with it only makes sense to use it. Only follow these steps after you are running on Hyperdrive ROM successfully (I am guessing this will work with other roms as long as Xposed Framework can be installed).
Background Work (no major changes yet)
1) Open the app Hyperdrive Control
2) Navigate Custom Settings > Advanced Mods > Framework Installer
3) Click Install/Update
4) Select the tab 'modules' from the top
5) Check all the boxes you see (I had 3)
4) Click Reboot
Let's get started
1) Reopen Hyperdrive Control
2) Navigate Custom Settings > Advanced Mods > Per App DPI Settings
3) Select Google Keyboard
4) Turn the switch to ON
5) Enter 160 for DPI, 100 for Font and check the box labeled 'xlarge res'
6) Click save and click yes.
7) Repeat steps 4-6 with the apps Swype and Samsung Keyboard
8) Make sure you followed the above steps then continue
9) Now find an app called Android System from the list and select it.
10) Enter 280 and don't change anything else (I don't know what you would be doing so I stayed away)
11) Click save and click NO.
12) Restart and enjoy.
I went back and changed System UI to 340 as I didn't like how small the notification bar became. Also recommending ExDialer as the stock keypad won't 'stretch' and lastly as a must, look into a good launcher. I am using NOVA Prime.
If you want to undo changes you can simply turn everything 'Off' and click Save and No. Then restart.
Hopefully this helps some!
If I am missing anything or if anyone wants to add more detail let me know! Side note: random but AOSP helper was installed on my device also allowing easy toggle from 3G to 4G with JuiceDefender...

Mods can you list this as a [HOWTO]... sorry left that out.
awesome.. .thank you!
OMG thank you for this, i has given up on how to do anything on it. I did not know how to use Xposed frameworks, this is what i needed, than you very much:good:
Has anyone tried changing the overall system DPI and then changing just the misbehaving Samsung applications back to stock (i.e., Contacts/Dialer, Camera)? I pretty much manually set all of my apps to between 320 and 340, but the Notification dropdown is way too big. (Email and Gmail both at 320 in order to become usable).
This made my launcher grid super tiny and the keyboard is unusable it is so small. I can imagine how some slight DPI adjustment could be good, but this is aweful!
that being said, I will use this method to adjust things how I would like them.
I'm glad it worked well for you guys but both of those changes made things worse for me. I put it back on stock and am very happy with it.
I'm running 320 DPI in my build prop. To fix the dialer I went into the per app DPI and changed the contacts app and phone app to stock 480 DPI and also the calculator app as well. They all run just like stock now no problems at all
Forgot to mention gallery as well

im using 360 in my build.prop. and have had no problems. only thing i had to fix was my market. which i used this market found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1839871
using the correct version of the one in my current rom(hyperdrive). Dont ask me why this works. But someone else said they tried it and it worked. so i did and it worked. Sometimes ive noticed it will all the sudden on reboot, change to a different version of the market. But that has only happened a couple of times. and usually it didnt matter(most apps still showed up like normal). But i dont know that this will work the same way for everyone since it seems to be a semi flakey method.
It works fine in HyperDrive RLS 4. Don't try to change the build.prop for the first boot, though. Let it boot once, then change it. Let's just say that the results were a hung device first.
I added clock back to 480 because there are issues with it.. The year view in Calendar is a bit off, but that's the only screen that doesn't work right... The Market works fine at this resolution (360). This is much easier than what I was doing before...
Now Touchwiz can be somewhat usable as it isn't huge gigantic text everywhere (even on the Tiny selection in Screen)
My system ui keeps crashing whenever I change anything related to Android System. Followed the directions but no luck so far.

That's why I just went the other way around and changed build.prop then made things larger as needed. Less problems this way...

I will be the first to admit that I am not an expert at this in anyway. This is just how I got it to work...
You said Hyperdrive Build 4 is working for you? I flashed it and have had nothing but troubles so far. It always hangs at SAMSUNG Custom boot screen... I have tried everything and now once I went back to my Nandroid of 3.1 it boots up with no issue, Then I go to reboot through the power menu and it hangs on that screen again.
Colton
PS I guess an easier approach also to allow most programs to stay stock would be to allow the android system to stay stock and just change what you need like the launcher...
I had the same problem about system ui... make sure you are pressing NO to the option it gives you and then reboot. I also had some DPIs that the phone just didn't like (240)... everything kept fc'ing...

I had problems with the first two downloads. Then I was able to get one to work early this morning... Also note that it is supposed to be a wipe'd flash, so make sure you do the format data/cache 3 times, then format system... I generally do a flash of the rom first to make sure that there aren't problems, though, before I format system...
I only use 320, 360, and 480's as DPI's on the S4.
Your approach is the way I used to do, but I wanted everything smaller, so every time I installed a program, I changed it to 320/360.. But then I wanted 320/360 to be the overall and only make exceptions for the things that demand stock DPI.
Understood - I didnt wipe to flash as i never did before without an issue. I am downloading stock ODIN now as something is up with my data partition...? It hangs on every second+ boot from restore/install and will not even boot off an install. I will go to stock odin, root, recovery and then install. Also downloading a fresh copy of Hyperdrive RLS4... Thank you for the tips.
C22
Found a better way!
Okay so I am now on RLS 10.2.0...
Download some type of Root file manager... I paid for/use Root Explorer love it.
Navigate to /system and long press build.prop
Find the line that contains screen density =480 and change it to your desired DPI (I am using 280)
From there all apps/everything is changed to that dpi... some stock apps you will have to use xposed to change them back to 480 just to make it work because they show different resolutions horribly.
I followed these steps...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2269483
works great! Enjoy.. Also on the Multi DPI stock app post, the only one that works with the Verizion phone is the Gallery S4 v2.zip file... The others I am trying to work with the dev on getting up and running for our phones.

why is it like that and is there a way to fix it? (removing totally or down it to one)
its like: "Operatorname|OperatorName"
Wait, you mean it only happens on CM10? how about stock, CM9 or other roms?
Some carriers have two names on my country too. Tigo shows as "TIGO|TIGO 3.5G" on my phone (CM10.1).
well it wasnt like this on stock gb and ics. started to seen like this after cm10 rom. anyway its not a big deal but i just want to edit or delete it if its possible.
i found a guide like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2371498
can someone who knows what hes doin take that guide as a start point and direct me to the victory?

you can try install xposed framework, then install gravity box for JB. there is a setting for lockcreen where u can add a custom provider text. simply write a emty space ( " " ) in it - done. remember to reboot after installing the framework from its app. after then insatll the gravity box module & check in modules, again reboot. now do ur stuff.
Hi, I have had problems with the launcher ... it's usually downloaded from the store and play time to open a few seconds the screen stays black and says "Unfortunately, the Launcher application was stopped." will occur and nose to me worked great on my stock rom the mini s3, and I spent the rom cyanogendmod and have presented this problem.
Thank you very much for the attention and the launcher is great and I would like to help me to have to return it back in my cell. :good:

Hi,
Try this:
1. Uninstall Themer.
2. Delete the /sdcard/MyColorScreen/ folder (removing the Exported folder within it if you saved any themes).
3. Reinstall Themer.
Also make sure that your device is running on stock DPI/resolution/display settings.

If you're running a custom ROM, chances are that you might have edited certain settings. These include hiding the soft keys, editing the DPI settings or even settings your own system-wide icon pack. Keeping your phone as standard as possible means that Themer will work to its full potential.

Thanks friend support, I found the solution thanks to the comments on your previous post was due to the icon pack was changed and for that reason I did not work properly on my phone themer.

Hello all, I'm on D855,and after few attempts I managed to get Xposed working. I had issues with SDK 21 thing.
Now its working but can't se 'table thing' on there. It just says 'version 74 is active' with no possibility to press Install/Update. There is screen shot. Is this behavior normal for xposed, or I did something wrong?
Thanks.
Sorry, posted it here instead of general. And now don't know how to delete it...
Sorry.

if you installed the xposed installer apk, then that's one step done. but, unless you haven't flashed the xposed SDK zip yet, you'll need to do that - it's the (or at least probably the easiest) way to install xposed. flash it with a custom recovery or whatever else you have, and after a reboot you should see that it tells you the SDK is installed, and from there you can browse and pick modules from the repo.
I'm not sure if that answers your question (was in a bit of a hurry so skimmed read it incorrectly so no, it doesn't answer the question ), but in general (at least for me), those buttons are blanked out, and I do everything by flashing.

Xosed works. Mods are working, I just needed to know is the installation ok, cause, it wouldn't be the first time for something working, but making phone slower due to bad installation.

just to confirm, here's a screenshot of my device. maybe it's the device itself or something's been configured so that the xposed installer cannot modify the SDK installation. but, like I said, it's normal for me and even if it wasn't the most normal thing you can always perform the operations through recovery anyway
