[How To] Add More Apps in Ultra Power Saving Mode (UPSM) - Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps

UPSM is good way to save some battery when needed, but only a very limited apps we can use under UPSM. With root access, we can add more apps support in UPSM.
Well, the whole idea of UPSM is to save battery, why on earth we want to add more apps to drain the battery? Because we can :victory:
For the start, our mod will add a few applications so you can test it out before customizing your own application list.
Apps added in our mod:
1) Camera
2) Gallery
3) Torch (included AOSP torch.apk for this feature)
4) Chrome
5) Hangout
Instruction to add more apps to UPSM
1) Download the UPSM_Add_More_Apps.zip from : http://electron-team.com/ADDONS/other/
2) Put zip file in sd card.
3) Boot in recovery and clear cache partition
4) Flash the zip file and reboot your phone
5) Boot into UPSM to test the added applications
How to add your own apps?
6) Go to system/csc and open up allowed_apps_upsm.xml with text editor
7) Add your desired applications. You need to know the application Package Name and the Main Class Name. Check the app's Android.Manifest.xml to find out.
8) Then go to phone data/data/com.sec.android.emergencylauncher/databases/ and delete EmergencyLauncherUPSM.db
9) Reboot your phone.
10) Done.
Note: Music app doesn't work in UPSM because some background services has been turn off.
Wish to have Xposed module or app to easily add more app to UPSM? Me too. Let's hope somebody could make one in future.:fingers-crossed:

I made a quick app to easily add more apps to the upsm list. I am still testing it to make sure it is writing the list right. I will share it soon enough.

My S5 does not have in system/csc a file named "allowed_apps_upsm.xml". It only has: contents.db, customer.xml, default_workspace.xml, feature.xml, others.xml, and sales_code.dat. Help?!
Also will this work on a Sprint Galaxy S5? (SM-G900P)

I hope that someone will turn on music files on upsm.

hello, is it possible to have gps turned on while screen is off.
I want to run Sports Tracker in this mode, but it stops working after turning off the screen

if it doesnt have that file you can add it. No problem. Take one of the files published ona previous page, copy it into system/csc and give rw-r-r permissions. then reboot. It should work on all devices, including sprint. Cheers!

Please can u post '' allowed_apps_upsm.xml '' i would try on galaxy tab s ^^
Thanks

I don't have in com.android.sec.emergencylauncher this file.......db And upsm manager don't work on omega 7.1 why ?

Obviously if you run more apps, you'll use some more power when you're using those new apps in power save mode. But will adding more to the menu use any more power while you're not using these?
What I'm really trying to establish is if there's any negative point to adding more apps in power save mode.

Hey mate, I think I came across something today that may answer your question.
After adding settings with UPSM manager, I went into "manage apps" and discovered that whilst in this mode, all apps are marked as "disabled" except for those that work in upsm.
Based on this observation, it seems like UPSM actually disables all apps (and by consequence their background services) to save battery, not just hiding them.
So to answer your question, I'd guess that adding more apps will not in itself cause battery drain, unless the apps have battery/ram consuming background services. Therefore my approach is to enable as few apps as I need (whatsapp, music etc), whilst leaving off apps like facebook which has notifications etc.
Hope that helps you or someone

Work with NE5?
Does this work with NE5? I can't seem to get it to work. I am stock rooted without tripping KNOX.
I don't have either of the mentioned files:
system/csc/allowed_apps_upsm.xml
data/data/com.sec.android.emergencylauncher/databases/EmergencyLauncherUPSM.db
I don't even have the data/data/com.sec.android.emergencylauncher/databases directory.
Tried using the app and that adds the system/csc/allowed_apps_upsm.xml file but it doesn't affect the available applications list in UPM mode.

link doesn't work anymore (404). can somebody upload xml file I don't have it on my S5 . Will it work on lollipop?

[WEBTOOL] Note 2 Multi Window Tool

READ ALL OF THIS POST CAREFULLY!
Multi Window on the Note 2 is kinda cool, but it only works with limited apps, which kinda sucks. There are 2 solutions to this - the first is to wait for developers to add support (perhaps using my guide), the second is to edit one of the framework APKs to enable other apps. The second is the most useful, but perhaps a little complex for most people.
So here's a tool to help.
This tool takes a list of apps and creates you an update zip (for flashing via clockworkmod) with a modified framework APK that enables your chosen apps for multi window support.
Important points to note...
This tool is ONLY tested on the LJ1 release, additional options are added via user requests. I STRONGLY recommend you don't use the resulting zip on a ROM version other than that for which it's intended.
Backup before flashing the update zip. No really! Or at LEAST backup the framework-res.apk.
If you don't want to use clockworkmod you can extract the framework-res.apk and push it via ADB. Make sure to set the permissions to 0644 or your device won't boot.
Be very careful to ensure that your entries in the tool are correctly formed or again you could end up with a non-booting device.
Use this tool at your own risk!
Got that? OK, let me tell you how to compile the list in the tool.
Simply, you need to enter <item> </item> tags with the 'package names' of your chosen apps in the textbox. Package names are best found on the web Play Store by looking at the URL. Here's some examples for you.
Plume on the web Play Store is at play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.levelup.touiteur - therefore the package name is com.levelup.touiteur and you should use the entry <item>com.levelup.touiteur</item>.
TVCatchup on the web Play Store is at play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gzero.tv - therefore the package name is com.gzero.tv and you should use the entry <item>com.gzero.tv</item>.
Simple eh? Just put in the ones you need, hit the button and download your update zip.
To use the tool, head on over to this topic.
Have the xml precharged samsung apps or build from 0 and we need to add chrome, talk, snote, etc?
The pre-configured stuff stays, just put in things you want to *add*.

If someone on LJ3 can post their unedited/stock framework-res.apk Paul said he should be able to update his script to deal with that too.

work perfectly! now I have about 40 apps
I'm a bit short of time, but I will add an option where you can upload your framework-res.apk for patching to avoid version issues.

if you want faster to find out package name. go to www.play.google.com then press installed apps and you will be able to find faster package name of your all installed apps

Paul did most of the leg work even for what I did. All I did was turn his findings into a mod so that people could have something while Paul worked on a better system (like this one he has made).

I threw together a little app to steamline the process a bit. This is my first android program so this thing contains a whole 3 hours of android wisdom...
It's a frankenstein mix of googled code but it gets the work done. A work in progress. This version asks for some storage/call/debug permissions which I have no idea how to remove or limit. So if that makes you feel uneasy pm me and I can send you the netbeans project in a 7z and you can check the source code and compile it yourself.
What the app does is display a list of installed packages by item name, you can then select the ones you want, hit the export button which will copy your selection to the clipboard, open a browser window to pauls page where you can paste it into the text area and download the generated apk all directly on the phone.
I would not recommend selecting all items in the list, this might have horrible consequences. Just select stuff you recognize.
For me the download popped up cfw but then failed to install the apk (possible due to file location), so I moved the apk to the root dir, rebooted to cfw recovery and then flashed just fine.
In later versions I'll see about reducing permissions, add icons to the list.
Disclaimer: Whatever you do with this app, whatever consequences come from using this app, is on you.
Thanks for the lovely apk page. <3

Are you adding one app. Flash the generated zip and then add one app, generate a new file and flash it? If so, dont do it that way You must add all apps you want in the same file, generate that and flash it

Xposed frameworks Guide!!!!

How to install the Xposed Framework and Use it ( Thanks to Rovo 89)
I made this guide because I thought the RAZR community lacked the knowledge about these xposed frameworks and how to use it. Only a few devs have actually implemented it. I have made this as simple as possible.
I have moved this thread here because the old one has been made for apps only
For the framework:
Download XposedInstaller.apk and install it ( download below)
Launch the Xposed Installer and click on "Install/Update"
Reboot
Done!
For any modifications/modules you want to install:
Download .apk and install it ( first install the app settings)
Launch the Xposed Installer and go to the "Modules" tab (you will also get there if you click on the notification warning you that the module is not enabled yet)
Enable the module by checking the checkbox
Reboot
Done!
Instructions for using modules :
Starting with Gmail
At this point i believe u have rebooted your phone after installing app settings and before that the Xposed installer itself
Open app settings and search for Gmail.
To get the kind of result displayed below
1. Change Screen(dp) settings to preferably 600*1024
2. Change font scale to 80 otherwise the dual panel will look messed up.
3. I would suggest u change the orientation to always landscape - worked best for me - depends on your liking
press the save button on the right top corner (then press yes) and check your newly designed gmail app right away
You can tinker with the settings and change it to your liking
Now lets move on to System Settings menu. (Dual panel!)( If u dont use Liquid smooth or AOKP)
search for settings in App settings
in the settings menu
Change DPI to 160
Screen(dp) to 1000*1600
and font scale to 130 ( ORIENTATION PREFERABLY ALWAYS LANDSCAPE )
Now save and check it out!
For the same thing - But If u use LiquidSmooth or AOKP)
Search for force dual panel in your system settings menu and check it.
Then go to app settings -> settings -> and then
Change DPI to 160
Font Scale to 110
Save and enjoy!
Now one last example for the PLAY STORE
Search for playstore in the app settings list and enter it.
Change DPI to 160
Font Scale to 110
Screen(dp) to 1000*1600 ( ORIENTATION PREFERABLY ALWAYS LANDSCAPE - YOUR CHOICE - WORKS BOTH WAYS )
Additional Settings for each app:
1. U can check fulscreen to disable statusbar in that app
2. Check screen on to change display timeout to never!( it will always stay on in that ap
3. Go to locale settings and select the language u want to display it in!

Changed the installation method of xposed....no success either.
The rom is working fine except modules cant be used.........
Any suggestion...................
Thanks in advance.
Solution of xposed framework installation problem
Solved the problem.......atlast.........

Its just a simple command that is repeated for a number of apps example : delete("/system/app/BuddiesNow.apk");
I dont know what kind of source i have to give here.But i think that If someone creates a php file he would not want to thank microsoft or the maker of .php files because its open source and same goes for android , i just repeated a command over and over that i learned i dont think i need to put credits as " i wanna thank google for making android , xyz for making flashing scripts" Because ITS OPEN SOURCE but because you reminded me i took some info from here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AulpDQBL_oTOdDRIbnV5b0UyQTd0TDNZSFBKYXJ1blE&gid=0 I dont know who created this or from where this info is gathered.

Thanks,
Because i had a bloatware remover integrated into my s-rom too.
Tip:
Be sure to add a script to fix permission mismatches. It's likely if the app is already installed the OS doesn't delete the dalvik and the 2nd time around when you decide to install it again you'll get FC's

#$#$#$# Change\Customize Default Contact Image #$#$#$#

~WARNING~
This is working on Sprint S5 MOAR ROM.
Use these methods at YOUR OWN RISK!!!!!!!
I get sick of looking at the default android contact images and thought I would change them ALL. The image I decided to use is Bob Dobbs of The Church of the SubGenius. Yes Slack is good, and we need to be reminded of that when we communicate with the other degenerates in our lives. A little more Slack ain't not be hurts no-ones mayne.........
I have made changes to almost all contact related images in the following: InCallUI.apk, SecContacts.apk, SecTeleService.apk, and SecMms_Blue.apk. Its been a couple of days now and I am getting no errors + loving the way the Contacts and Messaging look.
Click tab above for Screenshots.
~~~~~~~~~DISCLAIMER!!!!!!!!!~~~~~~~~~
If you get warts, if your newborn pops out with a foot on its forehead, if your teenage daughter runs off with the meth-head biker from down the street, you find your wife having Gang-Sex with cut-throat multi-nationals, or if your phone takes a GIANT **** on you: You are just plain fuct. I will brook no (read: ZERO) responsibillity.
Let The Slack Flow...
That being said, If you love Slack you can use the attached Apks to update the way your contacts display.
First off you will need a root browser like RootExplorer, or whatever you deem worthy.
Next transfer the updated Apks to your SD Card.
Open RootExplorer and navigate to wherever you put the Apks. Select copy-move InCallUI.apk then back out to the root of your phone's file system.
Make sure you are mounted RW (in RootExplorer the tab is located up top). Open "system\app" and then select "Move-Copy here" When asked if you want to replace-overwrite existing app select yes. After the file has transferred you need to scroll down and long-press on it to change permissions to RW-R-R.
Now copy or move the remaining three Apks into "system\priv-app" and change the permissions on those to RW-R-R as well.
Now back out to the root of your file system again and select Refresh from in RootExplorer settings. Reboot and WipeCache\Dalvik. Enjoy much Slack.
ALTERNATE IMAGE METHOD~~~
For those of you not into Slack-ing off whom wish to use their favorite picture of Early Cuyler or Tipper Gore and Janet Reno doing the chilli-dog or whatever, you can use the images in the two folders in the Update Contacts.zip from the download link below as templates. You will need to use whatever image editor you like (GIMP, Paint.net, etc...) to make changes to ALL the image files in both of the folders I have included, and then re-save them to the same folder for easy access.
!!!DO NOT GO CHANGING ANY NAMES OF ANYTHING!!!
Before you make changes in the Apks. Open the folder you saved your edited images in and make note of the names of the files you will be changing imagery in for each Apk.
Open each Apk with whatever archive tool you have (I used winrar). Navigate to each folder you need to update images in and select "add files to archive." Navigate to the folder containing your updated images and hit "ok."
Hokay.
Now place your edited Apks on your phone and overwrite the old Apks, Change permissions & Refresh.
Reboot recovery and wipe your cache-dalvik.
Enjoy...........

Sorry. Links, screenshots, and instructions are up now.
I just edited the SecContact.apk a little bit, but when I pushed the new back to replace the old one, chmod 644, reflashed, clear the cache and reboot... Finally the contacts and the dialer app icon never showes in my app list, who can tell why?
PS: if I deal with SecMms_Blue.apk in the same way, it works!

What else, the stock apk always works fine when I pushed it back to the phone.
So, what is in the way?

Sorry, been out of it for a while.
What is the error adb is giving you?
Did you try using Root Explorer to replace/chmod SecContacts.apk. Also try placing both SecMms_Blue.apk and SecContacts.apk in system/app AND system/priv app. If that does not work send me a log of the additional edits and I will track it down for you. Again, sorry for the deplorable response time.
PM me if you need to.
