I really don't want to use a different launcher. But i would like to have additional icons on the dock like i had on my lg g3. I am running firekat V4 rom. I do have xposed installed but the only module i have installed is the pandora patcher.

I would like to do the same thing so If anyone has any ideas please share .... I wanna keep my stock tw launcher
The only way i know how is decompiling TouchWizHome.apk
going to res/values, finding the file called "Integers.xml"
and changing the line: <integer name="hotseat_cellCountX">5</integer>
to the number you want.. Im pretty sure you can make it 6 without needing to change anything in the "dimens.xml" file but for more, you will prob have to change the dimens(ions) of the icons..
Yeah, I can confirm that, barring a recompile of an apk, you're pretty much stuck with 4 slots on the dock in this version of touchwiz.

I just want to ask whether the available themes in the APP and THEME part is going to replace my Launcher pro or not. Any idea?
Thanks before

Themes modify the system files, they aren't independent.
If you get a theme for a rom, it will modify things all around the rom.
If you get a theme for a program (adw) it will modify things inside the program only.
for example, I'm interested in using the ZEN theme or the minimalist theme. Can I use my LauncherPro after I flash the theme?
I'm running a de-odexed ZSJPJ rom (Ramad's). It seems that the only way to get the puzzle piece lockscreen is to flash a theme that has the 4 lockscreen settings. I don't really want to flash a theme especially since a lot of these are based on older frameworks and I just want the lockscreen.
If anyone can point me to a comprehensive how-to, that will be fine. Thanks in advance.
yeah you need to change the android.policy.odex in the system\framework\ folders.
You can just take the file from a theme that has it and use root explorer to transfer it to your phone.
or you can just use the StockPlus082percentageFF theme which is a stock theme with all the current lock screens.
Link for stock theme with 5 lockscreens: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952579
I've seen Stockmod Plus, but I think he uses an older framework. ZSJPJ rom has some issues from what I've read. Anyway, thanks. I'll google android.policy.odex and see where it leads.

yeah but you can just take the android.policy.odex file from it and install it separately. just replace the one file with the one you have on your phone.
Hi, I would like to modify the Slimwizz 5 ROM for personal use. I want to remove some apps and add some stock ones that are missing and needed for me. I would also like to change the theme that was introduced (the background in settings and other places that were changed).so that it looks identical to stock.
Can someone advise me on how to do this? I am guessing it isn't enough to extract the zip file and delete, replace apps and then just to rezip it.
So any help with removing the apps, then adding apps and finally changing it to phone UI and changing the background in settings would be much appreciated.

I think that you need new rom :laugh:
did you try alliance v1
you can flash it without google and samsung apps, then after installation you can restore every system (samsung/google) apps that you need, this way you can have a rom that suit your needs
also you can flash stock theme from Alliance OTA
and a lot of modification through Alliance control
you cant find better rom

I think your best bet would be to simply change your ROM. PA has many great features, but it lacks in customizability. I know CarbonROM (I'm using it) has an option to remove the signal icon in the status bar.
Settings -> Carbon Fibers -> Statusbar ->Signal status style -> Hidden

got it working thanks,
can anyone still help with the ouya launcher please?
edit, got the dpi sorted, now works on my note, next question how can i make my Games show in the "play" menu?
totaly useless use 0C7 deodexed from other guide. the callrecord and the lite mod should still work on 0C7 though.
a disclaimer: this shouldn't mess up your phone but if it does.... don't blame me. im not responsible for anything.
You will need FlashFire for this process
and you will need to be coming from the stock 5.0.1 odexed rom or the goldeneye rom
This is a Stock Deodexed Rom. the initial zip has no modifications except to remove some totally useless apps. i had to use an SU zip in the file to give it proper root so you need to go to SU once its installed and set it to grant for now till i figure out how to fix it. i am attaching some mods at the bottom of the post.
those mods are:
Lite Mod - it will remove all the junk and make your rom almost compleatly bloat free.\
Center Clock Mod- kinda self explanatory
call recording mod- also kinda self explanatory.
im having a slight issue with the 5 way reboot mod. i will post it when its fixed.
here is the download link for the rom
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952597907
Instructions:
1.Copy rom and any mods you want to your SD card
2. open flashfire and setup a wipe. do everything except internal storage
3. add the zip for the rom
4. add the mod zips
5. make sure the order in the menu of flash fire is:
Wipe
StockRomDeodexed.zip
any mods.
6.click flash
7. once it reboots it takes forever to start up for the first time. be very patient
if you like my work please hit thanks.
let me know if there are any bugs you come acrossed. ive read that deodexing makes the NFC weird... i have no clue i dont use it.
Edit: i will be releaseing a custom rom in the near future. would people want the stock launcher, nova launcher or the s6 launcher in this rom?
mods
Hate to be that guy, but it seems the mods don't all want to work
Lite.zip seems to have cleaned up the system but the center clock and such don't even budge
Nothing to do with overlays want to behave either

there is no overlay folder you have to remember to set the permissions on both the overlay folder you make and each overlay.
i dont understand why the center clock isnt working it works for me. ill take it down till i figure it out
I'm sure you can leave it up, maybe it's just being picky,
Im at work and will try the nfc when i get home,i use it for my galaxy watch so ill see if it doesnt work.Thanks for your stuff also.

Anyone having errors trying to download apps from play store?

i will try on the data toggle. im also gonna do 3minit battery so you can customize the batery icon and im going to try to see if i can do the potato clock mod also so you can edit the clock with an app. ive also changed boot animations to normal lollipop, added normal Lollipop ringtones, ive changed out apps with s6 apps (s6 keyboard, s6 file browser, ect...) . also some apps are better with aosp lollipop so i will be switching out some apps from there. i have also used overlays to theme the system orangeish

im gonna make a quick list of potential things for lolliop on our phone @mateo121212 im sure these can help you theme / modify your new rom.
1. S4 Lollipop Themes & Apps Forum
2. S4 Lollipop Statusbar Mods
3. S6 Ported Apps(thought id toss this up for good measure)
4. S4 TW System Overlays(easy theming for notification bar and such)
5. S4 Lollipop Dialer / Contact themes(these are kind of a hit and miss, they will work with the right permissions)
6. S4 Lollipop Keyboard overlay themes
hope this helps, also Mateo you said your going for more of an orange theme? are you using overlays or changing system color stuff?

would it be troubling to possibly create an alternative system theme down the line that's more..darker?
maybe dark dark grey with aosp blues or something?
not asking for it any time soon just a thought lolz
i could do something like that but it would take a boatload of time retheaming everything. i have developed custom roms before for other phones just not lollipop or touchwiz based roms. so i have the experience i just have to brush up so its going to be a little bit before i release a polished great rom thats how i started out with my other roms that i have made. im still working on making the base rom to start out with and then build up. if people want i can release what i have made as a pre-alpha sort of thing. its allready allright its just still a tad bit stockish.
