Hey guys,
I'm not a big poster, so please redirect me if I'm posting in the wrong place. I searched far and wide for answer without a solution.
One of my most used apps was the Samsung notes app with the quicknote widget modified by substratum to be a black background. I stupidly updated my note 8, and now the background of the widget is back to white (how it used to be before theming)
I really want the substratum black background back. Im in medical school and I use it in replacement of screen off notes because it saves battery, looks better, is usuable while reading a textbook on my phone, and is rotatable. Most importantly, it doesn't go away when you reinsert the SPen.
How can I get it to be black again!
Thank for the support,

Recently I started a projet of theming market apps. I've got permission to post 12 apps so far, but I want some suggestions from you guys on what you'd like to see themed. I don't wanna start the thread until I get as least 20 or so apps to post.
Themed App
I personally think there should be more different color themes for facebook, instagram, and skype.
I won't lie to you... it's COMPLICATED to find any themes that would satisfy a female. Lol.
I rooted my girlfriends phone, looked HARD to find a pink theme for the ROM, and then she wanted pink apps.
The ONLY thing I could really find to please her was a pink zebra print facebook themed app that I bought from the market.
I would definitely take into consideration creating themes for apps that would satisfy the ladies.
(Like purple, pink... etc.)
There is a need out there. Lol. I know that if my girlfriend was looking for pink themed apps, there must be MANY more girls out there looking for the same things.
To begin with, I'm far from new to Android, just new to Samsung and the Note.
Also - I know I'm not the only one with this problem but I haven't run across a solution yet. I can take and image I want to use as a wallpaper and, on the lock screen and the Touch whiz home screen and it looks exactly like I want it to. But, since I'm one of those folks who dislikes the fact that I can't swap out apps on the TW launcher bar, I slap my own launcher on the Note to make it mine again. Unfortunately, then comes the annoying part.......
Whatever photo I put up as wallpaper looses resolution and seems to explode in size so that only about 1/4 of the original wallpaper/ photo is visible and what's left is very blurry. I know this isn't limited to just one launcher - I've tried ADW, Launcher Pro, Nemus, Go Launcher, Holo, and a few more I can't remember the names of right now. And they all give me the same problem.
So far I've changed the format of the wallpaper photo to .png or .jpeg and back again, tweaked the size and resolution of the picture, dug through XDA and a few other forums fort wisdom, and used harsh language on my Note - all to no avail. So, can anyone tell me what I'm missing or if there's any hope for me at all? I'm rooted stock 2.3.6 and would prefer, for various reasons, to stay that way for now. But, at this point I'm willing to consider options if all else fails since I'm getting quite annoyed by this.
Thanks for any help/ insight!
Use the Quickpic app to set the wallpaper.
Thanks! I'll give that a shot.

Hello
I'm not sure if this will work and need some help how to solve this issue. First i'm sorry if my English is a bit rusty!
Anyway i have made a design i'm pretty satisfied with. I want the above part to be fixed (Non scrollable) its there i want to place
the UCCW information as battery info, Free memory, Weather and so on.The lower part i made as tabs. 6 pictures with each tabs showing.
Best would be if i can get it to look like in a browser when switching tabs !
Now to the part where i'm stuck! I don't know how to make the tabs working without moving the UCCW widget with all info
i just want the lower part to be move able. Will try to show with a picture

When I used UCCW, which is already some time back, you had to (?) create 6 home screens with the top of each home screen the same (your battery indicator etc.) and the lower part changing, with in this case your tabs. Then in the launcher (e.g. I use Apex) you can switch off the home screen scrolling animation or reduce the time for the animation to 0 so that it looks like you are switching tabs.
Hello XDA I’ve been away from android for some time; switched to iPhone for a bit, from the htc evo 4g. I have switched to Verizon and the galaxy s4 sense then and I want to make some changes to my phone (hence the post). I have rooted my device but haven’t put any custom roms or kernels on my s4 just different launchers. Here is a list of thing I want to change:
Quick disclaimer: some of my wording may be off, I don’t have my phone in front of me to check everything and do proper background research
Phone UI-I want to change the phone app entirely. Its ugly it’s white and it’s [for lack of a better word] fat and cartoonish. I hate the stock dialer and the in-call ui. It has to go; please if nothing else give me some ideas on how to change this! Im using ex dialer and contacts but that doesn’t change the in call experience.
Unread Notifications- I’m currently using nova launcher prime and action launcher pro the kicker is that neither have a proper unread counter for calls texts and emails. Nova works the best because it does in fact have an unread counter but it only works for phone and texts but not for Samsung emails which I use for both my Gmail and my exchange emails. It irks me; I’ve emailed the developer but haven’t heard anything back from him.
Wi-Fi- is there a way to move/add wifi to the notification panel? The panel being the quick access buttons on the top of the notification scroll down. I hate that is “floating” in the other part of the notification list.
Volume- how can I get rid of the volume alert I get when I have something plugged in to the headphone port? I feel that it’s the dumbest warning in the world and it’s even more annoying because it keeps coming back after each reboot (I think). We aren’t 5 years old we already know that loadnoises arnt good for our ears…
App drawer icon- I love the touchwiz app drawer icon and that’s probably the only thing I can’t live without. I’ve got a similar icon from a touchwiz icon pack but it’s not the same one. How can I extract it from touch wiz so that I can use it with various roms or launchers?
Google play- I buy things from Google play every now and again and would like to continue to do so. The only problem is, is that I can’t move the content over to the SD card I would like to store it there because 16gb can only hold so much. I saw that someone figured out how to move Google play music over to SD which is great but I want my magazines and movies on the SD too.
I would like to keep as many Samsung features as I can when I rom my device I enjoy a lot of the Samsung gimmicks that came with it; such as multi-window and the smart stay, view, scroll and pause it’s fun to play with.
Are there specific roms and kernels I need to use for my specific device? If so please refer me to the thread.
Is there a rom that adds a professional and sleek look to the device and adds the discussed features from above? If so what is it and where can I get it!?

HI, folks!
For last week I've been googling around how to get rid of ugly icon background and frames on my new Droid device.
The trouble is that all app icons at the app screen and at desktop screen has that really ugly background color, that seems to be randomly choosed and a transparent frame (see the attached picture). You can see that on Opera, Skype and Navitel icons. In that case background is blue, but for DrWeb icon it's light gray. That makes my crazy! Moreover, it seems to resize icons to fit in this square frames and that makes it looks even more ugly.
After some search I came up for that it moor looks like an Launcher issue/settings. My devise is an OEM Chinese protected phone (more commonly known as Batl S09) and it seem to have Samsung TouchWiz, at least I have SamsungLauncher4.apk at /system/app/ folder and it's marked as Launcher 4.2.2-eng.wsl in Applicatin section in Settings.
Soo, as I'm very noob in Android hacking, I need help there.
same problem...
Hi Guys,
Very odd but seems like this problem doesn't occur many times. It is happening to me too and this thread is the only thing I found on the web on this topic.
Can anybody help as this is really a pain in the a**.
Thanks a lot!
i got the same problem, any solution so far?
