Title says it all really. Is it possible to add apps to pie controls? I've seen pictures, but can't find out how from anywhere.

hi lazy guy...the i-net is full of howto´s. if you use lmt, then go to lmt, on the top hit pie. than i.e. push pie item 1 - than select app and choose your app. that´s it.

So I have to use that. That's all I wanted to know, just thought it would be more efficient to use the one that was already there if possible.

Whats the big deal with the pie control? Its almost useless , you can use your button to navigate, sliding on the edge of the screen and using it almost same with the existing physical button is making your life too complicated

Hard to reach back button one handed on Note for me at least, so I find it very nice to use.

What about phones which do not have physical buttons?

Software Buttons

A couple of days ago I asked in the Q&A forum if it was possible to disable your physical back home and menu buttons and enable the on screen buttons like on the nexus 4. A guy named: UncleRipper helped me by telling me how to do it, so I want to share it with you guys. But all props to UncleRipper! For an example of how it looks on my phone see the photo below.
So what we want to do is enable the on screen buttons, disable the physical buttons, and stop them from lighting up everytime you touch the screen. I know you can disable this in the settings if you're on lg's software, but I am running cyanogenmod 10.1 nightly.
So first enable the on screen buttons:
open a file manager with root ( Solid Explorer or Root Explorer), go to /system and open build.prop (backup it!!):thumbup:
add this line at the end of the file build.prop:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
restart your phone.
Now you got the on screen buttons, you want to disable the physical buttons:
Use "button remapper" (search it on google cause isn't on play store) and assign "focus" to home, back and menu buttons.
The app is simple to use and the values to change are last in the list.
After the physical buttons are disabled you want to stop them from lighting up when you touch the sceen:
Prerequisites:
Root
SManager (play store)
SManager widget (play store)
Your phone
this script: https://www.dropbox.com/s/iz6t5eql0w...tkeyscript.zip
First install the app SManager and accept the SU request.
Use a root file browser and move the script from the SD Card your system/etc/init.d folder
Go into SManager and locate the 2 scripts. Click on them and tap the little star button in the top left to make them a favorite. And click the little SU icon while your at it! (optional: click also on run on boot the gear near "su" command)
Add the widget to your home screen, run the script and turn off the display and then turn it back on.

If the physical buttons wernt visible id do this. But i find LMT launcher works great for when a can be bothered doing hand gymnastics to push the back button.

Yep, if the physical buttons went off, it would be good. Could You make it working? ;D

The physical buttons are disabled and they don't light up anymore, so you can't really see them anymore unless you take a really hard look. But hey, it's your choice rather to use it or not! I'm just saying it's possible ;D

Why on screen button? If your device have the physical key so use it.also on screen button takes space in screen.

Couldn't agree more!

I seem to be having trouble with button remapper. The only option that I'm getting is for the power button and can't seem to access the home, menu, and back keys for some reason. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Open /system/usr/keylayout/touch_dev.kl and remove/comment three lines from the almost end of the file (those with VIRTUAL word). Works, at least on PAC 23.0/CM10.1, not sure if in stock rom will also work. Then use the script from OP to disable lights (I'll try to find simplier way to do it all).
And of course add this:
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
at the end of /system/build.prop

+1 thank you I got it all working now.

Same as me. That's why I have to use volume key to wake always. I think it's just a hardware problem.

If you are using 4.4.x roms that problem is well known.If you are using stock rom try first factory reset.

U can't. So be gentle to that button. At least, use some screen lock widget.
EDIT: turning off u can use some shutdown widget.

You cannot turn on and off your phone.

[Q] Navigation buttons on custom ROM - Problem!

On stock v20a, the navigation buttons didn't turn on unless I was using them. Now, after I installed the Slimbean ROM, they turn on everytime I touch the screen. Is there any way to solve this?

nope, unfortunately. you can disable them completely, or turn them on whenever screen is on, but there's no jb mode, i.e. for them to light up only when you touch them.

Ok, thanks. Can you tell me how to disable them completely?

Tips and Tricks to improve your USER EXPERIENCE on S5

:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: P.S -> THIS THREAD IS CREATED TO ENHANCE USER EXPERIENCE NOT TO CREATE A BATTLE BETWEEN S5 AND M8
Guys, even after new touchwiz. S5 animations seems slow.. yet the device is super fast.. so my tips would just help you! Thanks to look into it
1. Go to settings>developer options(if not present go to about phone and tap the build no. 5 times)> transition animation scale and shift the value to (0.5 or 0)
Do it for windows animation scale
And animator duration scale too!
2. Disable s-voice from Galaxy s5 it would make u go to homescreen super fast..
To do that double click your home button.. register s-voice go to menu(by pressing multitasking button for 3 seconds and then untick disable s-voice open via home key..
3. You can also use a custom launcher if you don't want touchwiz!
4. If rooted then try cross breeder!
P.s. > I will update it with more things.
5. If you're rooted and have tons of apps, then install greenify app from playstore and hibernate your apps.. this way you can improve battery life and functionality
6. Do a factory reset, which may solve your problem.
Hit Thanks if I helped!

Its confusing that so many people complain about touchwiz...just choose a different launcher like Nova and dont look back.

The truth is that people don't like TW animations, but they don't understand the difference between lag and slow animation. So they complain but the excuse is ridiculous.
Enviado do meu Galaxy S4

How about this novel idea....if you don't like Touchwiz and/or you think this phone lags, then simply don't buy it or return it and leave us happy owners alone.
And for the love of God, please stop comparing this phone to the M8. They are different, period.
OP, I'm not saying you are doing these things, but it's always what these threads end up turning into.

Ok... so which phone should we compare it to then? The S4? M8 is clearly the most direct and similar competitor for the S5 at the moment and they shouldn't be compared to each other? Now that sounds pretty stupid to me...

For God's sake this is not a comparison thread... this is meant to make your s5 a bit more responsive..
So guys please enjoy your devices... dont fight...

My tip: use Startup Manager free from Google Play Store to check what apps starting with boot and disable them. You can disable Samsung stuff with this app. More free RAM. No root needed.

I didn't notice any performance issues relating to the launcher for exactly that reason - Nova is one of the first things I install!
I am actually using ADW at the moment though because I saw there was an update since I'd last installed it on another device ages ago and fancied road testing any changes - I'm loving the 'Wall' animation on the app drawer, and people who've had a go on my phone have commented on how slick it looks

Installing another weather app (or HD widgets or similar) and installing a calendar widget from the play store will fix 2 of those 3.
For the other one, I just put a shortcut to the app on my home screen and go into S health that way.
Each to their own though.

S - voice can be disabled completely using the uninstall/disable apps option.

I wouldn't recommend crossbreeder or any of such scripts on our phone.
It won't make any difference and most likely cause higher battery consumption.
