Heey there
I was searching a while for a transparent settings app (I like transparent apps so )
Since no theme porter or dev was answering the Q for transparent settings app
I tried to customize the settings app myself i tried different things but unsuccessful (maybe because of my limited skills )
After some more trying it almost works
So thought I'll post it here so everyone can enjoy a transparent settings app
Since I'm not a dev or theme porter and I was just trying something out
There are some bugs in it but I don't have the required skills to fix them all
so if there is any dev or theme porter that could give me some tips PM PLEAS I really want this done
Extra options that work
Build in font changer in settings app itself so no need for Third party app
G-sensor calibration option
This need to be "fixed"
Wireless and network menu
Bluetooth switch on the check-box in the settings menu doesn't work (when you enable bleutooth in the statusbar the settings can be changed in the bleutooth menu)
Call settings menu
The call settings menu should be expanded (now there is only a voice-mail setting option so nothing like hide numer callsettings etc.)
Sound settings menu
There is an option for video-call ringtone (need to be removed but doesn't give FC so not urgent )
Display settings menu
Brightness setting doesn't work (if you use the Power control widget you can change the brightness)
There are options for
- White colour density
- Black colour density
- Saturation
- TV out
All FC, whether they should be removed or fixed, if someone can make these option working that would be super
The horizontal calibration must be edit because the roll indicator is not one the right scale
Location and security menu
The option for aiding sensors is missing
Application menu
in the menu "manage applications the size for each app is on the big side not verry handy if you have a lot of apps but its just for the looks so not verry urgent
SD-card and memory menu
There is an option for formatting internal memory haven't tried it yet but if someone has enough courage to try this option we will know if it works
For the rest everything is working perfect

Reflash a Rom is much more easier than prepare a cup noodles. Just plug to PC and then fire up odin, wait for 2mins than Titanium Backup than that's all
Now doing a full Backup
But anyway thank you for your setting.apk

That's true
but when i see its not working but I'm on my way home and don't have a pc I just replace the old one
so no reboot, flash or backup needed
Thanks for trying I hope some day a theme porter will give me some tips or make a better one
I'll reupload my previous one so some people can try it out and maybe fix the bugs
After trying my first attempt again i discovered that the build in font changer in the settings app works so you can apply new fonts in the settings app itself so no need to install any third party apps
Also the option for G-sensor calibration works!!!
Well. The main difference you will find in styles.xml when you decompile this Settings.apk and the one from our phone. There are some lines that have to be added to it. And then you will have to define them in Public.xml also. And then again you will have to declare them in the classes.dex file. i.e. in the smali files.
Its tedious. Smali/baksmali.

Thank you so much
Since I actually still have very little experience with XML. I am teaching myself more, so it will take a while before I can continue to improve this
many thanks for your advice

^ Hi,
what's the exact problem/ui issue your are having? (like text color or list item selection color etc.)
I haven't tried modding an app before but I am a full-fledged Android developer.
So I will try to help you if possible.

Sadly not, im still looking for some help on this.
Ok, i found a way to do it. To hide any app icon you have to delete this on the manifest:
Code:
<intent-filter >
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
In this case, there is two times this code, one for the gallery and one for the camera. Just delete the gallery´s one and recompile.

I'm sorry, I can not English well.
You will need to modify two files, with root permissions.
/system/etc/customization/setting/config.prop & /system/bulild.prop.
Settings for each file "ro.nfc.icon.enable" to change the value, "false".
The setting of the two files must be the same.

Is there a non-root solution? Thanks
This isn't solved as far as I can see... I can turn off every other icon but not NFC... Must be a way, without root, surely??

Thx @ruinses, this nfc-icon annoys me for a year now.
I absolutely don't understand Sonys policy to force enable the icon.
A lot of people use smartlock or nfc-stickers, we KNOW it is activated, because we USE it.
The nfc-feature was one of the reasons to buy a Sony device, I checked it out on different models to be sure it works finebe fore ordering the z2 device .
They really made a read-only option hidden in two config-files just to disable the option for disabling the icon?
Wtf are they kind of stupid?

The NFC icon IS NOT enabled in all firmwares, if you don't like the root solution then flash another firmware.
No, I just disabled it, no problem now I know how to do it. Just had to switch selinux to permissive and edit the files
Hello, I am by no means a dev but had a useful modification to my edge I wanted to share.
I came from a G3 and there was a thread about modifications to the build.prop file.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-build-prop-tweaks-free-ram-t2825693
I found the stock scaling to be a little cramped for a 1440p screen.
I used a build.prop editor and simply found the ro.sf.lcd_density property and switched the scaling around.
There seems to be 2 ro.sf.lcd_density property. One at 640 and one at 480. 640 is the one you want to change around. I'm guessing 480 is for the easy mode or the ultra power setting mode.
I liked the stock PPI on my G3 but when I set the Edge to the stock PPI of 540 things were a bit small. I found that 590 hits the mark for me.
Like I said I'm no dev and this was just a handy trick I happened to pick up while I owned a G3. If anyone has any more useful properties to edit feel free to add.
I'm going to try out the disable all android log edit as well and see if it helps performance ever so slightly more.

Tested and works fine on my 915S
reserved in case?
Just noticed that the only thing this affects is the camera app. For some reason the camera app cannot adjust to the new dpi and it stays the same size as if it was 640 and registers touch not where icons are but where the icons would've been in if the dpi was 640. So far this is the only thing that's an issue. Taking photos still work fine but video mode crashes. Anyone know a fix?
You can always use app settings module in xposed and reset the density of the apps.

Doesn't work to "fix" the camera app. Video still crashes.
But I am using app settings to change chrome, instagram, maps, etc. :good:
In that case you might want to change the build prop dpi back to stock and change the per app dpi with the module. That's how I've done it and have no problems.

I love the dpi change the most on the main screen. Is this possible with the module? Also this seems like a lot of work >.<
Anyone else find any other interesting mods to build prop
I have changed systemui, settings, and many other apps with no problems.
Yes it's a bit of work but on the brighter side if some app doesn't like it you can always change it back to stock.

I'll try it out. The dpi change allows for so much more room for activities in the notification panel it's amazing.

Also, if anyone can help me solve this issue, I'd be extremely grateful:
I used the App Settings module to force auto rotation for the Touchwiz launcher. It works, but everything is shifted to the left and cut off at the bottom. Anyone know what settings I can adjust to "correct" this? Thanks!

I found the native 540 dpi to be way too tiny and found 590 was the best for me.

The only modified TW launcher that I've seen is the one that swaps out Briefing for the camera when you swipe all the way to the left. Is there another one?

So I've noticed some apps say they are not compatible with the note edge on the play store.
In case anyone was not aware of you goto build.prop and change your device from tbltespr (where spr is your variant) to trltespr you get more games as the play store thinks you are a regular note 4.
The lines will be:
ro.product.name=tbltespr
ro.product.device=tbltespr
r o.build.product=tbltespr
To
ro.product.name=trltespr
ro.product.device=trltespr

Hi all,
I took a few minutes (literally) to whip up an Xposed module which adds more apps to the Lenovo MultiWindow app found on (at least) Yoga Tablet 2 Pro devices.
It took quite a few days to first figure out an app list, then a selectable list, and finally transferring data between the frontend and the xposed part...
Please be aware that some apps may cause issues if run in a window.
If Steam is not logged on, it will open the app in a window saying "you need to logon", and open the logon dialog as regular fullscreen app in the background.
At least CPU Spy and Titanium Backup lose their background color (last screenshot).
And so on - I am not responsible for how any app behaves.
Finally there is an (not too well done) app picker which allows to pick apps that will be shown in the whitelist (press multiwindow, press + -> whitelist).
After saving any changes in the picker, a reboot is required for the new selection to show.
Requirements:
- Xposed Framework installed
Tested on Yoga Tablet 2 Pro 1380F, 1050L/F and 830LC. Please report back for other devices.
Works on 4.4 and 5.0.
Instructions:
- download attachment or select from Xposed Download list
- run the app, pick the apps to show in MultiWindow, save
- enable the module in Xposed
- reboot
- open MultiWindow, press the 'edit' button at the end of the list, select which apps should show in the MultiWindow selector, confirm with OK.
Changelog:
2015.03.08 - 0.5.1 - fixed java exception if device is rebooted before picking any apps (thanks @tonyp for reporting)
2015.01.05 - 0.5 - added app picker
2014.12.17 - 0.1 - initial release, static list
GitHub repository: https://github.com/subworx/LenovoMultiWindowMod
Todo:
- restore selected apps on picker launch
- exchange screen shots

I don't know, as I only own a 1380F.
You could give it a try, breaking multiwindow should not break the tablet in general so you can still remove the mod.

I have no idea about Lenovo's plans.
You can always try to use the 1380F MultiWindow though.
Download the file here, unpack it and push both files to the phone, then move them to /system/app/ and change permissions to the same as all other files in there.
If owner is not root/root, change that as well.
After a reboot, the button might show on the left corner of the navigation bar at the bottom.

yeah already tried that, simply placing app(s) won't do anything...if you check Yogo Tablet's settings, there's option for Multiwindow, that's missing on this one, means code maybe there but probably some heavy modification needed on settings.apk to enable it...

You are right, the settings.apk source contains a subfolder /com/lenovo/settings/multiwindow with 4 files.
Should I send you a copy of the settings app?
Although I guess the StatusBar/NavBar app(s) would need to be changed as well.

well, I tried, and was not successful. I decomplied S8-50's settings.apk, and compare to @subworx 's setting.apk he sent me...I added "multiwindow" piece back to S8-50's settings.apk, and recomplied...but did not work, got bootlop...also during the recompile, it complained about missing resources here and there, it turned out this is not a simple mode after all...In S8-50's settings.apk, Lenovo simple removed every bit of "multiwindow" feature, not like they just simply disabled (wish they did), so putting them back to S8-50's settings.apk is quite painful....
Can someone implement mod like it for cm12 based roms? Or if there already stuff like it, point me to it..
