Post Root Mods and Enabling Hidden Features - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6

Have a freshly rooted AT&T 5.0.2 s6 using pinpong and wondering what next? Here are a few mods and changes that I've made so far to improve my AT&T S6. (info pulled from various forums and threads, posting things here that are specific to the ATT S6). Have more to add? Post it!
Useful Apps Requiring Root:
Titanium Backup, AdAway (available from Fdroid website), Greenify, Tasker for enablign GPS when opening maps.
Debloater tool (root not required) available in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294
FlashFire (needed for flashing roms, custom themes, etc): Download Here
Enabling / Adding Hidden Features:
Quite a few features are available to the ATT S6 by modding features.xml using Wanam's CSC Feature Expert. The steps I list below are using that app. You can download it from playstore, and it requires root: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ma.wanam.cscexpert. Below is what i used, but more options are found in this thread, although ATT seems to have many of them already by default: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...uick-guide-enabling-hidden-features-t3087506/
Hide Wifi Notification in Pulldown:
Search configwifi. Click item and delete "ATT"
Enable WiFI Calling: option to enable is under phone settings
Search WifiCall. Click on Item and add: "True"
Enable Call Recording!!: (recordings are found in voice recorder app)
Search configrecord. Click on item and add: "RecordingAllowed"
Mods:
Disable Bootsound:
Go to file folder: System / Media / Audio / UI. Find file "poweron.ogg" and rename it to "poweron.ogg.bak"
Roms:
Scotty's Clean Rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...om-cleanrom-1-0-clean-smooth-stable-t3111330/
Xstreolite Rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s6/general/xtrestolite-rom-att-s6-t3140354
Custom Themes:
Dark Theme (Sweet and does work on ATT): http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...-theme-s6e-t3108155/post60726132#post60726132
Still Working On:
Disable headphone / bluetooth volume warning
Remove AT&T text from upper left statusbar

Thanks for the helpful thread!.. I can finally use the GMD gestures app I'd say thats an essential root app for me.
Any word on the xposed framework for lollipop?
edit: WAIT we can use WIFI calling on ATT???

Yes, it seems to work too. You open the phone app, click on 'More' then Settings and the option is at the bottom. Be sure to reboot after you make any changes in the CSC to activate them. No word yet on Xposed, but it's almost not needed. Almost....
PS- That gestures app is pretty sweet.

Yeah its awesome i deleted lazy swipe because with this app you can pop up launchbars for your favorite apps from anywhere with a gesture

I enabled wifi calling and rebooted, but I don't see any indication that it is enabled. Even tried making a call, and it seemed like it was over cell not wifi.

Did you enable it in the phone app settings? It's check box at the bottom .

Yea, that's where I enabled it... But didn't get anything that showed it was making calls over wifi.
Did yours give you some sort of icon? And can u take a screen shot of it?

I'd love to hide the auto brightness bar and show more notifications on the lock screen.

Not that I'm aware of. ALso, haven't been able to figure out whether the wifi calling actually is going over wifi or not.

Bypass Tether Check
I see that Verizon Mods have enabled tethering through the framework, anyone see these options anywhere. Would love to use tethering on my Unlimited.

I would like to know that too but I have wifi router installed and it works. I also would like to know how to get the download Booster to work I tried doing that shortcut deal through Nova and it keeps on going away

Boot Animation
I didn't create this/ don't own it. I apologize if I am stepping on the creator's toes. I have had it for a while but it works with our s6 and removes the white att boot screen, but keeps the samsung part.
MUST FLASH WITH FLASHFIRE.

Silent power on, charging and wireless charging sounds.
Unrar on PC or on andrioid. Replace files (I use Root Explorer) in system/media/audio/ui, and change permissions. Reboot.
Used a rar file so one doesn't think it flashable!
Change permissions to rw - r - r (just copy the permission setting of any of the other, unchanged sounds in that system/media/audio/ui folder).
This is similar to the mod in the op except it replaces the boot sound with a short, 2 second silent sound. I had problems of other sounds playing instead if I just changed to .bak, hence I made these sound files.

I'd love to hide the auto brightness bar and show more notifications on the lock screen.

[MOD] Enable "Hidden" Quick Settings Tiles

This is how to enable all the "hidden" quick tiles in the notification bar that seemed to have been disabled. Between versions of the S5 variants, several quick tiles seemed to be missing from some and enabled in others. Remember, I am NOT responsible for stupidity or whining if YOU do something wrong, phone explodes, etc.
The modifications need Root, SQLite Editor (or equivalent app functioning) and a brain
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE CORRECT PERMISSIONS ON Settings.db OR IT WILL NOT WORK
-----Enabling Quick Tiles-----
1. Open up SQLite Editor
2. Select the Apps tab -> scroll down to Settings Storage and select
3. Click settings.db
4. Click system
5. Click search icon on top right (easiest method to filter) or scroll through db (harder way)
6. Type "notification" in the Filter Value field and press ok
7. Tap "notification_panel_active_app_list" -> select pencil icon on top to edit
8. In Value field, all enabled toggles are listed. Now, add the word "MobileData" (no spaces or quotation marks) to end of list (make sure to have NO SPACES between entries and semicolons separating each entry)
----> ex. Wifi;MobileData;WifiHotspot;Sound; ....
9. Once you add "MobileData", click save button.
10. Close SQLite editor and reboot/profit (see attached screenshot for what it should appear as)
This works for any quick settings tiles that are present, but you MUST type in the correct name (capital letters, no spaces, semicolons all count). One mistake will not show the tile after reboot.
----> instead of "MobileData", you can also "WifiHotspot" (already enabled in miked63017 zip for Hotspot Mod here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2727127 ). Download Booster Quick tile is also able to be added but has no function yet (see my post on updates to status towards getting this working here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2719582 )
-----Missing Tiles (so far noticed, if you know another please comment)-----
*These are exact as they should appear,no spaces and capital letters (case sensitive)
Wifi;MobileData;SilentMode;Location;WiFiHotspot;NetworkBooster;Bluetooth;AirplaneMode;PowerSaving;UltraPowerSaving;Sync;AutoRotate;TouchSensitivity;AllShareCast;Toolbox;MultiWindow;Nfc;SmartStay;SmartPause;DormantMode;CarMode;PersonalMode;SBeam;AirView;AirGesture;DrivingMode;SmartStay;SmartScroll;SmartPause;ToddlerMode;EBook;SmartNetwork;WifiCalling
They can be put in any order and then, upon reboot, be arrange according.
Big thanks to eyecon82 for pathway and miked63017 for Hotspot Mod additions.
wyoud you please be able to post what tiles are missing or what all of them are so users can compare if they need to do this or not .

Right now, I'm investigating an apk with the hidden 'false' value for Booster to see, if by enabling, that it'll work. May not need anything other than push ability and some apps to edit at least. Still WIP, hopefully more results soon.
ronger here with the G900W
step 7. Tap "notification_panel_active_app_list" -> select pencil icon on top to edit
when I open to edit I have nothing in value
but if I open the file "notification_panel_active_app_list_for_reset" i have all the values in there, also running a rom , not sure if it matters but its in my signature.
im trying to add Touch Sensitivity which i don't have in the shortcuts notification panel
edit
i was on the reset app list and not the active one
however after adding ;TouchSensitivity; and the end of the values , it still doesn't appear

Thank you for your reply. I did, and I think the settings.db file is there. But when I try to edit it, the program force closes. Using SQLite Manager. Not sure if it's a problem on my end or with the application.

Functional Hotspot Toggle???Using Tasker???

Has anyone found a hotspot toggle that works reliably? Neither Power Toggles nor Widgetsoid are able to turn it on, seemingly because the phone needs to verify the service. They can turn it off ok. It is one of the little annoyances that seem to really bother me. Once in a while I saw it turn on successfully but usually I have to go into settings.
I like Power Toggles design and features but I'd jump ship for this toggle. I'd prefer a widget that allowed multiple toggles on a bar style set up, but a stand alone widget could work

Thanks for the recommendation.
Tried it, but it doesn't work as I hoped. It is primarily a shortcut to the settings menu. I am seeking a one touch hotspot widget, like Power Toggles and Widgetsoid were on my last Android phones. With previous phones I could have a switch that turned hotspot on and off without entering settings; I rarely used the setting menu, as I should be able to access the most frequent things like brightness, hotspot, and sound without going into the menus.
Since NO play store toggles seem to work I turned to Tasker. I've been using Tasker on and off since it came out. Usually for simple tasks like this toggle. However I cannot get Tasker to do it either. The toggle seems to work to switch the setting but the authorization delay before the phone turns it on seems to mess it up.
Any ideas?
+1 would luv a solution.

If you're rooted, you can get the stock touchwiz hotspot toggle back (that should be in with the quick toggles on the notification pane) with a little digging.
This is the thread I went to to get the mobile data toggle back, but the same works for the hotspot toggle:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2721550
Basically you need to get sqlite and use it to modify values in your settings.db file. Follow his instructions, but instead of adding MobileData; add WiFiHotspot; (case sensitive and don't forget the semicolon)

That's buggy as well. It works great for data and the other toggles work great as well, just not the hotspot. That's probably why AT&T disabled the toggle from original firmware. The toggle was actually there when I only flashed the AP file from the firmware, but disappeared after the other files were flashed.

XPosed, What works and what doesn't

I wanted to start a thread to give and gather information with the community on what works and doesn't with XPosed framework and Wanam XPosed. Please add any other information on what works and doesn't if you have been able to verify.
So far I've verified a few things work on the T-Mobile Note 4.
XPosed Torch
YouTube AdAway
XPosed Torch
In Wanam XPosed I have verified the following working for me.
Hide SFinder bar
Hid Battery icon
Change/Hide Carrier Label
Enable 4 way reboot menu
Screenshot / Power menu
Fake System Status
Themes (make sure you turn each on that you use)
Disable Secure Storage
Raise SMS and MMS limit
Wanam XPosed Setting that are not Working (that I've tried).
Lockscreen Flashlight
Home button long press
Disable SEAndroid
I have actually removed XTether and gone with Wifi Tether Router, as it seems to be working smoother.
Here a Link for Wifi Tether Router:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.snclab.wifitetherrouter&hl=en
A lot of the theme color changes work, though i can't seem to get the handle to change color when selected (the bar when you pull the notifications open).
The following ones not previously mentioned works for me:
AudioPrivacy
DisableBatteryFullAlert
Network Speed
NotifyClean
Wanam Lockscreen ==> "Turn on screen when unplugged" does not seem to work properly.
"Hide WiFi notification" is not working
I've been playing with the Theme colors this morning and found the little 'ON' button hiding at the top right. I am working out which panel/icon/text is what exactly as it's a little overwhelming trying to do it all at once. I recommend only changing one or two at a time and then rebooting to see how the changes work for you.
Hi. Thanks for this thread. I was wondering if you could modify your OP to include what modules are not working as well and encourage others to verify. This might be useful for checking.

Move clock/time to right side?.

Any way to move the clock/time to right side? Insert rant about android 9.
The usual samsung methods don't work. The SystemUI tuner app does not work either. TouchWiz is missing from the Beta+Rooted+adb permissions given version of the app. The custom entry keys (middle/right_clock_position) do nothing both on or off.
Also for the phone dialer, is there any way to change to one click to accept instead of the slide method?
ROG/ZenUI is really lacking in customization.

Don't think there is currently a way to move the clock. It bothered me too when I first got the phone, but now after a little over a week of use it's perfectly fine, I'm use to it. Not sure about the dialer tap to answer instead of slide, as I prefer slide to answer because it's less likely you'll accidentally answer an unwanted call.

Thanks, though now there's no way to show the 120HZ but not the auto-rotate indicator. Depending on if you have free or pro, it'll either show both or neither.
I guess nothing can work properly. It's about to be expected since it was never updated for android 9.
Thanks though.
EDIT: it's even more of a buggy mess, the temporary notifications don't disappear ever (message received, downloading item, etc .
Hrmm? Yes they do.
I've attached screenshots
It does not for me. The icons are stuck there after the notification ends. Are you using EdXposed and Flat status bar indicators v5.1.3?
I also have system tuner UI installed which may interfere with it.
EDIT: It turns out SandHook is more stable than YAHFA in this case.

How To Guide [No Root] Gesture navigation on third party launchers

Hello, everyone.
Lately I have been looking for a way to disable navigation bar on Stock rom, and use gestures on third party launchers, for example on Nova launcher. After trying different things, here what worked for me:
First, download Fluid N. G. app and set it (make sure the app stays working and the battery saver doesn't kill it). Don't hide the navbar using Fluid N. G., not only this won't work, but also will cause the navbar to reappear after every unlock. So, don't use the hide option from Fluid N. G. (see the screenshot below).
You also need Tasker app, So install it.
Since the device is not rooted, you need to grant some permissions for the Tasker app, in order to work. To do this, follow the instructions Here.
Once done, open Tasker app, select profiles and click "Import profile". The file that you need to import is in attachements. Enable it, reboot your device (wait for few seconds) and Voilà !.
I tried to keep it as simple as possible. The results are attached below. Good luck!

Thanks for your help. I do have root access but no idea how to do it through build props, so I will stick with this Tasker method. Cheers!
One thing though, FNG bottom gesture isn't as responsive as Miui gesture. Takes like a second to open recents. Found a good FNG file and imported its settings. Better now.

Not tested this myself yet, but i doubt this was removed on Android 12 or Miui 13, this is kind of a basic function.
That build.prop is telling the OS the device has hardware keys for navigation. I've been using this for perhaps 10 years now .
Thank you @Mechalikh for sharing this, I watched the video and I succeded it with Smart launcher... I'm using Smart launcher for years...
In my case it wasn't necesary the second task because the phone is rooted.
Edit: only one question please... Is anymore fluid navigation app needded after this?

This will only hide the navigation bar, gestures will not work, so before doing that, you need to install a gesture navigation app like Fluid n g.
From my understanding, in android 11 google disabled navigation gestures when not using the system launcher. Probably because third party launchers failed to integrate those animations correctly, which made them look laggy ( same when using fluid n. g. unfortunately)
You can see that in android 10 phones. When you change the launcher, the gestures will remain but there will be no animations.
So this is probably their way to avoid it.
if you look in the system Ui code you will find something like:
if( the launcher is system launcher)
enable gestures
else disable them.
if this is the case. A patched system ui app should do the job. i'll root my device this monday, and try to decompile the systemUI app to see if that's the source of our problem.

else disable them.
if this is the case. A patched system ui app should do the job. i'll root my device this monday, and try to decompile the systemUI app to see if that's the source of our problem.

Android Q beta 5 won't let you use gesture navigation on third-party launchers
Android Q introduces a new gesture navigation control, but Google stops you from using third-party launcher apps with it.
www.xda-developers.com
well they said it has been the case since android 10. But i had a "honor" phone with gestures working fine on android 10 (but of course with no animations when using another launcher) .
Anyway, read that xda article to fully anderstand the issue.

Not tested this myself yet, but i doubt this was removed on Android 12 or Miui 13, this is kind of a basic function.
That build.prop is telling the OS the device has hardware keys for navigation. I've been using this for perhaps 10 years now .

My build prop editor gives an error when I try to save it. Bummer for me I guess, maybe because I am not on official MIUI
