I just went to the updates section. Galaxy Apps is honestly horrible to receive updates from though. Sometimes it doesn't list available updates.

This was posted in another thread, you can download and update manually

I tested it and it does add the pull down function. It doesn't actually say that it supports the Note 8 but I haven't found any problems yet.

My home screen tab is greyed out. Can't seem to find a setting that allows the home screen tab to be accessed. I have not gotten any UI updates, and galaxy apps did not have any updates, I checked it several times. Maybe they will push it soon to VZ Note 8's, dunno.

Are you saying you installed the .apk and don't see a change? Maybe a reboot? I installed it and it works fine, T-Mobile version.

When I get a text message, my screen lights up. How can I make the screen not turn on when receiving a text notification? I am running GS4 Premium Rom
Go to the messaging app and hit menu.
Somewhere down the list is a checkbox for disabling the screen on when receiving message.

If you look at the feature in JellyBeans it seems it's something he enabled.

Hey guys, so I got my S4 around July 4th and realized the same day I didn't like touchwiz. Got home, rooted and threw Dubbsy's rom on it.. I have been in love with the rom since I got it, never had an issue with gibberish provider name (except once) the lack of LTE bars didnt bother me because it still worked. The only major issue I ever had with it was my recent apps option stopped working. Well I just got the chance to update it to the newest build of the deoxed version and it has fixed the LTE bars and recent apps works again. It is fantastic and I really appreciate all the work you do! The ONLY issue I have is I only have 3 home screen pages. Is this a limitation of the rom, am i missing something simple??? I could use some help here and if it is a limitation of the rom, no big deal I can live with it until a newer version comes out

Dubbsy's ROM is nice and stock, with very few modifications.
If you want more home screens, I highly recommend simply throwing Nova Launcher on there. Grab it in the Market. It looks and performs 99% identically to the stock Nexus home screen, but adds a bit of customization. It's what I'm running on Dubbsy's and I've got no issues whatsoever.
If you still have a copy of one of the older versions of the ROM, pull launcher2.apk out of it's /system/app/ folder. I noticed the same thing and use 5 screens myself.
Once you pull the .apk replace the launcher2.apk in your current /system/app/ with it using a root enabled file manager under rw mode. Like the CM installed on the 4.9 edition or Root Explorer.
Once you've done that go ahead and reboot and you should be good.
At least, that's what I did.

Yea, it only changes the launcher. That's the only apk you would be replacing, and you wouldn't be using a third party substitute, it would be the genuine launcher since you would've pulled it from one of Dubbsy's older builds. I personally pulled it from 4.7.5 test since that's what I had on my sdcard at the time. Works fine.

No issues with GPS here. Try and flash back to a stock based ROM, get a GPS lock and then flash back. It's an odd fix, but it seems to work for some.

Yea I had this issue on the last build, it was weird, it didnt work for weeks then randomly it started working fine, but would randomly freeze once in a blue moon.
The GPS also never got a lock on the last build, and i just double checked, it just sits there saying searching for GPS never gets an exact lock.

I think the talkback is just an accessibility bug for samsung devices. Only happens when an app is using accessibility.
dev claims to have fixed the Samsung SMS bug. haven't tried it yet.
added several new options. most notably (for me) was the option to use this as the lock screen. went ahead and went premium!
Samsung really messed up right now, they're trying to replace Google services with their BS! First they removed Google TTS (which I had to manually put back through root). Holding down the menu button brings up Sfinder instead of Google now, they don't let you OTA if you've rooted. Wtf is going on! I'd personally like the option to choose to open Google apps instead of having to use Sfinder and svoice. Is anyone else feeling kind of pissed about this stuff

personally why would you want to OTA with root? Chances are you will lose root. They do that for safety, less problems. I remember phones bricking all the time when you did OTA, just do the updates from xda. And personally... I'd never compare samsung to apple. That is just a horrible thing to do man.:silly:

Hi there all,
So, usually when my phone updates, it resets my Launcher from Google Pixel to default. However, by going into app settings, I can always change this back.
I updated last night while sleeping to 8.1 and it appears that now I have no Launcher setting to change in the app section of the settings.
I really don't like the default Launcher. Is this the case for everybody who updated?
Thanks.
It's a known issue with this update and should be sorted in the next one.
