Hi there,
has anyone managed to change the lockscreen wallpaper with the help of GravityBox (the xposed module), because I simply can't. I can change the lockscreen through the settings (Personalization) but no matter what I choose in GravityBox it doesn't change a thing.
Any ideas?
Gravity box is for AOSP not OEM roms, it wont work or will work for things that arent alike AOSP

Huh, somebody here said that there is no longer any need for AOSP since most of the tweaks can be achieved with gravitybox. Since there is no daily driver yet I thought as give it a shot. Thanks for the Info.

I worded that weirdly
It gravity box does work but non aosp things dont work like the lockscreen features (some work) but this is because the lockscreen is external from the framework(for example)

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!

Yeah it does feel a lot smoother. Another thing I noticed is that there is native emoji support finally! :thumbup::thumbup:

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

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?

I'm sure sbreen will add it eventually, possibly with version 11?
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.

Hi,
I flashed the Note 3 Launcher, the original one I previously had on 4.3 had the ability to hide apps in app drawer, but the N3 one doesnt. Can someone guide me on how to hide them without an app? Or can someone modify it?
Please I dont want another launcher, just the N3 launcher with this ability. Thanks

No frikin idea why they got rid of that...there's like 10 apps I always hide from the drawer...I'm using the LG G2 launcher till that feature is brought back..its pretty solid. Except for the lock screen settings which don't work.don't need em anyways since the functionality isn't there.

That doesn't hide apps... it disables them (and hides them). We need something that only hides the app for example I want to hide the SuperSU app, adaway app... which Samsungs built in hide apps allowed us to do.
Here's the note 3 twizz launcher with blue text by Claude. It has the ability to hide apps as well. If not you could always use nova launcher

Hi Mate ,
I was looking for something like this for the I9500 ( S4) , this works on the S4 with Omega V19 but it disables the app and when you ask to see the dsabled apps it FC , where you got this from, looks promising needs polishing but looks good
First of all I love this device. Had the s5 and the m8 and this one is overall the better device. Anyways, the notification bar has Google search and Sony app which is annoying and the app switcher comes up a little slow and has those small apps. Anyway to fix these or do I need root for that? Thanks.
Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk
well you need root to change that
you can edit it via an xposed and an xposed module by the name of gravitybox
the app switcher is slow snd i dont think that can be changed

I was able to uninstall the small apps in the recent apps panel with titanium backup. No issues, but it isn't that much faster.

I also wanted to know this
but I'm not ready to root my phone as of yet!! I'm too chicken sh*t!!
On an unrelated note (or related to the navbar), can anyone tell me if it is possible to have a transparent navbar on stock UI with no root/unlocked bootloader? I tried using Nova and google launcher but both seem to have a blacked out navbar but transparent notification bar.
Is it possible to auto-hide the navbar if I start a widescreen game/app?
Maybe with a xposed module.
In the Z2 stock rom the navbar hides when I start an app.
I'm using CM11.

app settings via xposed
just change the screen mode to imersive or forced
Thx again for your helpful answer (like in the eXistenZ Rom thread) but I think I'm using the wrong module now.
I've tried a module called "Immerse Me", this is my solution, but activates in vertical screen too without open any apps.
The other module called "App Settings" is to annoying to setup some permissions for every single app.
You got a screenshot of the correct app and name? Or better a link
