[HOW TO] Remove S-Finder and Quick Connect (root-only) - Galaxy S 5 General

here is my way, I've removed the annoying "S-Finder" and "Quick Connect" buttons.
you need root! I am on Lollipop stock ROM.
a) open filemanger (rootexplorer, es manager, ....)
b) go to /system
c) search "build.prop" and make a backup!!
d) open "build.prop" in text editor
e) search for "ro.product.device=klte" (maybe on your device it is not klte) and CHANGE it to "ro.product.name=zeroflteatt"
f) save the file and reboot

Hi, I'm an absolute noob to this but yes, the s finder and quick connect just take up space in my pull down notifications. I don't use them.
Are you saying i do all your mentioned steps on my phone after i root it (my device is not rooted)?

No changes

I was also looking for a guide on this. I followed your guide by the letter, but no chances after reboot.

Not working..

not working

It works, he just messed it up a bit
1 Find ro.product.name NOT ro.product.device
2 after XXXlte add vzw OR att
3 for example "kltevzw"
4 profit

Great mod! Works perfect for my aussie SMG900I
Edit: I get this at every boot now. Only at boot though so not a big deal. Also my 4G Icon changed to include LTE logo as well

YesSs
work on G900H

Just gonna repeat my post from the other thread, as it might be useful for someone

Hello, this thread might be outdated but for me it was a current topic and i didn't want do open a new thread. So I just found this tutorial.
1. You need a rooted device and a Root Explorer (Make sure you have Read/Write permissions enabled.
2. Browse to the root folder from there to the system folder.
3. Make a Backup of the "build.prop" file - just in case...
4. Edit the file with a Text Editor and search for the line "ro.product.name="
5. Now if there is like for example "jfltexx" edit the name until "XXXlte" -> delete everything that's behind "lte"
6. Add "vzw" or "att" behind "lte" -> for example "jfltevzw" and save the file.
7. Now reboot and it's done!

*ALL TESTING DONE ON 900F ALEXANDRS DEVBASE BOE3 (NOT BOE5)*
*the issues I am having might be firmware dependent*
Changed mine to vzw and it worked, but.. It also changed the 4G icon to a 4GLTE icon, it changed the brightness bar so that it can't be changed while in auto mode, the wifi hotspot icon is also changed. And systemui crashes on boot and everytime I run an app in landscape mode.. The taskmanager/clear all apps icons in recents are changed to text. Gonna try changing to att now
EDIT: Tried changing to att and the 4GLTE and WiFi hotspot icons changed again. The 4GLTE icon is a new one and the hotspot icon is the same as the standard 900F icon. Also, att forces the operator name to be shown in statusbar. SystemUI crashes on boot just like with vzw BUT that's the only time it crashes, unlike vzw where SystemUI crashes in landscape mode too.
EDIT#2: So, after changing to vzw then att then vzw and then att again, att crashes in landscape mode too. I guess it's an odex/kernel issue, because I've wiped cache & dalvik but it persists.
EDIT#3: here's a screenshot of the systemUI crash because of landscape mode / rotation.
EDIT#4: vzw works perfect without any issues on Sixperience 3.0. Pic attached

Huh. I was able to remove those tiles from my quick-settings icons without doing anything fancy. Samsung gives you the option to customize those buttons by doing the following:
Settings -- Notification Panel
scroll down to the "active buttons" panel, select the button you don't want to see and hold it down. Then drag it down to the "available buttons" section, and it will no longer be on your quick setttings panel.
You can also add/remove other buttons, and re-arrange them to your liking.

When do you SystemUI fc? What are you doing when it fc's?

[Q] Lost torch after rooting.

Just rooted my new Note using Dr.Ketan's guide. All went perfectly well and quick. Big thanks to him.
Reinstalled same stock ROM( Austria). Strange thing: The Samsung application Torch has disappeared. Not a big deal, I know there are tons of them in Plays store.
I liked that one because it had 3 levels of brightness. Just curious: did it happen to anyone?
i have same problem.
i think you downgraded to older ROM (maybe base on 2.3.5) which not included torch app
I downgrated to older rom to get it rooted, but after I flashed exactly same rom, that i had before rooting.
Look if you still have the app in /system/app..
What kernel do you have? Some said that app does not work with kernels other than CF-Root and IIRC latest franco..
I have pda N7000XXLC1, PHONE N7000XXLB2, CSC N7000XXLB3,
It is exactly as before rooting.
kernel 2.6.35.7-N7000XXLC1-CL1003701
I can't find system folder. Don't see the torch in Titanium backup
Go to Settings > About Phone and see what's under kernel..
Use a file manager with root privileges (ES File Explorer, Root Explorer etc) and navigate to /system/app and look there
If you don't find it, open your backup zip with 7zip (or any ROM zip that you know it has that app) and copy the apk from there to your /system/app folder using one of the file managers mentioned above and set permissions like the other apks and reboot..
I know, that my rom had it and doesn't have it now..
it is not in /system/app. Sorry for the dumb question, but where my backup zip. suppose to be? thanks
Ohh..I assumed you made a backup before flashing..
I just check an old LB1 ROM I have and there is an apk named torchwidget.apk I think it's what you're looking for, check if you already have it but if you don't I'll upload it for you..
no, I didn't do backup because there is the same rom in Doctors list, so i flashed it after rooting. I checked in my apps, i don't have it. If you upload it, it would be great. thanks
I appologize, I do have it in system/apps, but it doesn't run for some reason
Here is the file:
Download HERE
- Move that file to your sd card
- Use any file manager with root privileges
- Copy and paste that file to /system/app
- Long press on it and choose "Permissions" from the menu
- Set the permissions so it will be like the other apks in that folder "rw-r--r--"
- Reboot your phone and test the widget

That's weird..
Even when you try to add the widget to your home screen?
the permissions are same as for other apps. To move it to home screen i need to see it in applications,right? but i don't have it there. Am i missing something?i see it only in file manager
It might be only a widget without actual app..
Go to Settings > Applications > All, do you see it there?
If so then it's only a widget and not a full app, long press on your home screen and see if it appears under the widgets list..

[Q] SystemUI with selectable toggles? Or no toggles.

Hi,
My previous phone was a Xperia Active with lots of mods. One of the mods were the toggles in the SystemUI (in the notification screen).
On the S3 mini it's not possible to select which toggles are selectable and in which order.
So I thought, lets install PowerToggles from the play store.
But then I have two rows of toggles. Just a little bit too much.
So, is there a SystemUI around (JB 4.1.2) with selectable toggles? (And is it important if this is deodex or not? I'm on stock ROM)
If not, is it hard to make a SystemUI without any toggles and free up the space they take in the top of the notification screen (so you can install PowerToggles, which are selectable).
Thanks.
No, you cannot that easily.
Assuming you have already rooted your device, if you want some adventure, follow this guide to edit / add extra buttons toggles, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191593.
Else, if you are lazy as I am, here's what I have done to have 12 toggles (though, it does not include 2g/3g switcher) in my stock (rooted) ROM:
wifi
data
bluetooth
gps
sound
autorotation
block mode
battery save
drive mode
smart stay
syncro
airplane mode
To get this, follow these instructions:
1. download Dmod 6 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2165575)
2. Open (do not unzip) DMod6's ROM using WinRAR, browse to system/app folder then copy SettingUI.apk,
3. open up Root explorer / ES file manager, etc
4. BACKUP your current SystemUI.apk and .odex (or simply move them on your SDcard and rename them SystemUI.BKPapk and SystemUI.BKPodex.
5. delete SystemUI.apk and SystemUI.odex (the original files, NOT the backups )
6. paste the copied SettingUi.apk in your system/app folder: I set permissions as -rwxrwxrwx , not sure if it would be better as -rw-r--r--, anyway, it works perfectly like this.
7. reboot, breakfast is ready
If you get some error popup messages between points 3 and 5, no worries, go on, follow the steps, reboot.
If this should not eventually work: sorry for you, just delete SystemUI.apk, restore the backups.
Have fun, hopefully I helped you out. :highfive:

Thanks for you answer.
The first option is a bit too adventures for me (no, I'm too lazy to find out how to decompile/compile. I'm on Win7 don't know if I need to install Linux for that).
Second option is mmmwwwhhhaaa, a bit in the right direction, but not exactly as I like it. Cause I'd like to change the toggles now and then. And still no Flashlight/Torch.
But your post made me find a third option: I found that detexr made a no-toggles SystemUi already here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191593&page=4
Just asked him for to post his SystemUi.

Help with OMNI rom

Hi,
I have flashed a custom rom for the very first time.
I have flashed OMNI rom 18/12 build.
I find the haptic feedback or the vibration intensity too high to my liking. I can't find any setting where I can configure this.
The phone vibrates very strongly even when i press things like 'menu' , 'back button' or typing
Its very annoying, please help

I think your only solution for that is to turn it off... Or to find out what to change to make it lower. You do not have an option in settings for that.

Hi,
Thanks again. I found the option to completely turn it off yesterday. Sad, there was no feature to reduce its intensity.
After turning it off, I realized the samsung JB always had a subtle vibration feedback when touching all this. Initially found it a bit weird getting no vibration but now used to it.
Another thing, in samsung JB I could sync FB contacts as well. In this ROM neither does the option in 'contacts' nor in FB app allow to sync contacts to phone book. Not a major issue though.
But, in samsung JB I could sync my calendar with FB, so that I could see all b'days etc on my calendar. No option here. Even though FB is displayed under 'accounts' in setting. There is no option to sync.
But the great thing about it is its speed. There is no lag whatsoever, very smooth so far.
Have a couple of free days in hand, so thinking of trying out CM 10.2 as well

Hi,
You may be aware of the problem with the dash clock. It force closes. And it appears partially cut in the lock screen.
After going through the OMNI rom, I found that you had mentioned in post no. #225 to go to system/app and delete dashclock.apk from there.
Since there is no file manager in this ROM. I installed ES file manager and tried to delete dashclock.apk from system/app
But when I try to delete it says "dashclock.apk can not be deleted". I don't know why ?
Is it anything to do with rooting ? I found some discussion in the forum about rooting as well. But couldn't make much of it.

I read in the OMNI forum that installing OMNI Rom automatically roots the phone. So is that not true ? If that is the case I will google and find how to root the phone.
I tried to turn on 'root explorer' in the ES file manager. It says 'Sorry, test failed. This feature can not run on your device". Is it an indicator of the the fact that the phone is not rooted ?
Edit: Temporary workaround: I found the post wherein you had told a user how to expand the dash clock widget by sliding it down and holding it and removing it by taking it to the 'x'. I removed it from the lock screen and added the normal clock in its place.

From what I have gathered from the discussion in the OMNI Rom Forum, that I download something called 'Super SU" from http://download.chainfire.eu/370/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.80.zip .
Question:
1. Do i need to extract the contents of the zip ? Or just go to TWRP and just select install from SD card and select the zip folder like i did with OMNI and gapps ?
2. Will this root the phone or do I need to follow other procedure as well ?

[TWEAK] Remove Brightness Slider from Notification Panel

This tweak worked on the stock T-Mobile OCG ROM, and will likely work for other stock based ROM's.
I used the "SQLite Editor" app to do this tweak. Other SQLite editors should work as well.
1.Launch SQLite Editor and select "Files" and drill down into /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
2. Select "system"
3. Press the "+" option
4. Leave _id set to auto
5. Add in the name field "notification_panel_brightness_adjustment" (without the quotes)
6. Add in the value field "0" (number zero without the quotes)
7. Press save
8. Exit and reboot
If you decide at a later time you want it back, just change the value of that field to a 1 then save and reboot.

Nice find! However since I actually use the brightness slider daily, I won't be getting rid of it. Now we just need to find a way to get rid of the S Finder/Quick Connect from the notification panel.

Thanks, I had been looking at another tutorial involving cutting a few lines from status_bar_extended, but it hadn't occurred to me simply to change its size to zero in dimens. >.<
This doesn't seem worth a whole new thread, so I've attached a systemui whose only change is the removal of the sfinder/qconnect bar. I believe you also have to delete the arm64/SystemUI.odex.art.xz file for things to work properly.
Edit for basic instructions:
Use a root-enabled file manager or console to replace /system/priv-app/SystemUI/SystemUI.apk with the attached file, and delete /system/priv-app/SystemUI/arm64/SystemUI.odex.art.xz. Make sure the permissions of the new SystemUI.apk are rw-r--r-- (chmod 644 /system/priv-app/SystemUI/SystemUI.apk at the console). Reboot and enjoy.
Caveat: you may not be able to swipe away notifications from within the region previously taken up by the sfinder/qconnect bar.
Great! Can also be done via adb:
Code:
adb shell settings put system notification_panel_brightness_adjustment 0

You either need a root-enabled file manager or su at a console, and replace /system/priv-app/SystemUI/SystemUI.apk with the file I provided, and delete /system/priv-app/SystemUI/arm64/SystemUI.odex.art.xz, then reboot. As always, I strongly recommend making backups and of course, I can provide no guarantees, yadda yadda.

Awesome! Works perfectly! Thanks so much. Just a reminder to relative noobs like myself to change the appropriate permissions in the new SystemUI file to -rw-r--r--. I forgot to do so first try, and lost both the status bar and the lockscreen. Fixed now, but had a moment or two of panic...

BINGO. Yea i forgot to mention that in my response, as well. Always fix permissions

ADB Mod installer

This is in place until TWRP is ready. You need root and of course you need to be attached to your PC. On first installation of systemui base, a pop-up asking to give ADB shell root permission will show. Please do so.
The purpose of this installer is to generate for you a custom module that you can flash in Magisk Manager. It will have all the mods that you have selected from the installer menu.
Custom clocks (date, etc) and internet speed indicators do not change colors due to light-dark background colors like the statusbar icons do.
The developer of Active edge gave me permission to use his base so that people would not have to make a choice between his and my mods. All credit for this goes to him. You must delete the active edge sense module and use one of my active edge modules. If it doesn't say active edge then it isn't active edge sense compatible. If there is an issue with edge sense after flashing, do not contact edge sense op with issues. He does not troubleshoot modified versions of his mod (and neither do I).
I'm also including my Pixel Launcher mod. Also a ADB Installer. You can change app drawer background-text color (separately for light mode and dark mode), remove weather from Launcher. Change the number of hot seat icons on home page (and size) as well as change the number of columns in the app drawer.
ADB Installer Instructions-Root is required
1. Flash one of the SystemUI Bases First. They provide the necessary smali files and public ID's for everything to work.
2. FLASH ALL THE MODS YOU WANT. ONCE YOU DONE WITH EVERYTHING, FLASH THE "COMPLETE INSTALLATION" Option. This will create a Magisk Manager flashable zip in a folder on your sdcard called ozop. Flash that to install your selection of mods.
Root required
Instructions.
1. Unzip ADB Mods Installer Files.zip on your PC
2. Run TulsadiverModsInstaller.bat (Give ADB Root Permissions)
3. ADB debugging Enabled
4. Flash one of the SystemUI Bases First. They provide the necessary smali files and public ID's for everything to work
5. Go through the other options selecting what all mods you want. It is generally best to start at the top and work your way down.
6. Once finished with selections, run "Complete Installation" at the bottom. This will generate your mymagisk.zip module in a folder called "ozop" on your sdcard.

LOL
Great work!
But it took me 3 hours to unzip and download it... Maybe zip it a little more? Ultra ZIP?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
it didnt work, i ran a complete installation, now boots, and instantly powers off to a page with
Code:
Can't load android system. Your data may be corrupt. If you continue to get this message, you may need to perform a factory data reset and erase all user data stored on this device.
This is the error in ADB:
Code:
Installing TulsadiverMods
cp: bad '/sdcard/vrthemeADBversion/busybox': No such file or directory
cp: bad '/sdcard/vrthemeADBversion/installtheme.sh': No such file or directory
sh: /data/local/installtheme.sh: No such file or directory
UPDATE: I didn't install base. Now I have another problem... It tries to boot and doesn't, it takes forever, then reboots and gets the first error again...
To uninstall mods do we just flash stock?
Has anyone tried this on the Q beta?

Posted an ADB installer for December update.
I guess I am a little confused on how this mod works and I have a hard time risking not having a nonbootable phone. I read through some of the 3 xl thread and it seems like we need our phone connected for it to make a magisk module to which we then flash via magisk? This doesn't actually flash anything, correct?
Mainly, all I need is the back/home buttons swapped, which I have now but it seems the December update breaks that according to another thread.

For just three button mode? You can try flashing this if you like. Do you have active edge installed?
Swapping the two is easy though you need a way to get it on your phone which this should do.

Alright, I'll give that a shot when I get time to do the December update. I do not have active edge installed.
January update uploaded.
Is this going to have to be updated during every monthly update? Wish Google would just make it so we could change the positions of the 3 button navigation.

Thanks. I assume I can do this myself with your adb mod installer, correct? I tried messing with it before but now I am two months behind on updates.

No, these are stand-alone modules and cannot be mixed with any other SystemUIGoogle.apk module (modification) and is built for January update.

Oh yeah, ok, makes sense. I was more saying that if I wanted to do this myself and not have you provide a magisk module each time, then I would use the mod installer and go through that way to create my own?
