Hi All !!
I was using this ROM for quite a while, thought i'll share my work with you all.
This is for i9200, But i am not sure if it would work for i9205.
Its based of stock i9200 i9200XXUDNK1 KitKat 4.4.2 from sammobile.com.
Its a mixture of Odexed and deodexed.
==============================================
The S5 features it has are,
Systemui of S5
Note 4 launcher (actually S5 launcher, i just themes the page navigator icons to look like Note 4)
Lockscreen of Note4
Settings of S5
Note 4 weather
Some S5 apps like Magazine, Group play, Group Camcoder, S5 gallery, S5 music, S5 contacts and dialer, SPlanner, SVoice, Voice Recorder, etc etc..
===============================================
Oops! lot of Note 4 mentioned above, but mainly its all got from S5.
Currently i am trying to search forums on how to make an Update.zip Rom so that you can all just flash it.
All i have now is just a backup of my Rom which i made using PhilzTouch 6.48
Please see the screen shots. attached.
Internet connection is slow.. so please gimme time to upload.
Will post the links soon on mediafire.
ROM Download Link & steps to flash
ROM Links and Steps to flash.
Modem and Boot.img included in the download links.
Two methods:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
First Method
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
==================================================================================
1: Download the Backup named "2015-01-16.07.49.38_KOT49H.I9200XXUDNK1.7z" from Mediafire using the link below.
Link = https://www.mediafire.com/folder/qrtmbymle0c0d/Bevin_ROMs
The file has an extension 7z.
Extract the folder inside the zip file using 7Zip to your desktop.
Make sure the contents are extracted to a folder with the name " 2015-01-16.07.49.38_KOT49H.I9200XXUDNK1 " on your desktop
There are totally 12 files inside " 2015-01-16.07.49.38_KOT49H.I9200XXUDNK1 " folder.
2: Download PhilzTouch recovery version 6.48 and flash it
Reboot to the Phiztouch recovery and go to philzsettings-> uncheck md5 verification (thanks to Fredo2000)
3: Backup your current ROM (full backup - if in case anythin goes wrong) to sdcard or external sdcard (sdcard1).
4: Reboot to your current rom and connect your phone to the computer.
5: Now from your computer... Go to Computer->locate your phone-> go to memory card->clockwordmod folder->backup folder->paste here (the folder " 2015-01-16.07.49.38_KOT49H.I9200XXUDNK1 ) which was extracted on your desktop.
6: Reboot phone to Philz Recovery.
Click Wipe Factory Reset -> Clean to install a new ROM.
Click Backup and Restore - Restore from sdcard1
you should see the rom you pasted from your desktop here.
Restore 2015-01-16.07.49.38_KOT49H.I9200XXUDNK1 ROM
7: Reboot phone
8: Phone will boot with the new Lollipop Screen.
9: Wait for a minute till everythin looks fine and then go to settings add wifi networks and add account - Google
10: All the S5 customization will be intact in this method.
==================================================================================
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Second Method
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
===================================================================================
1: Download the CWM Flashable zip ROM named " S5ROMforMEGAi9200_17Jan2014.zip " from the below link
Link : https://www.mediafire.com/folder/qrtmbymle0c0d/Bevin_ROMs
2: Reboot to PhilzTouch Recovery
3: Wipe Factory Reset Phone -> clean to install a New ROM
4: Install Zip -> install from sdcard/sdcard1 -> S5ROMforMEGAi9200_17Jan2014.zip and flash.
5: Reboot to recovery again.
6: Re-root system using Philz touch miscellaneous settings.
7: setup wizard comes up and proceed till you get to the home screen.
8: You will find the navigation bar. Do not disable it in build.prop instead follow step 9.
9: Install Xposd Framework apk (search it and download it from google), open the app, install framework. reboot.
10: Install GravityBox KK apk from the download section of xposd app. Install it. Enable it in modules. Restart
11: go to gravitybox app reduce the size of the navbar to like 0 or 1 .. prefered is 0 using the slider.
12 That will get rid of the navigation bar (this is important for the dialer) and wil stil have the overflow menu enabled everywhere.
13: download AppSettings from xposed app under download section and install it. enable it in the modules section. reboot.
14: open App settings app and look for contacts.
15: change the dpi from 0 to 320 and save (this is important for the phone dialer to become full screen)
16: thats pretty much you have to do. everythin else is present already in the ROM.
17: to explore the various features.. long press the notification toggle icons.. it ll open a new menu which is not present in the settings.
18: using xposd app you can download even floating windows to make windows float like note 4.
===================================================================================
Some of the Apps are preloaded as I like it that way. You can uninstall them as you please.
This ROM has no bugs so far, so if you do find bugs - I will be happy to fix them and release another ROM later on.
If you Factory Reset your phone, you might lose certain customizations done on XPosed Framework. (Hence i suggest you not to unless you know what you are doing)
====================================================================================
If something does not work fine related to network bluetooth or Wifi (most unlikely) - Flash XXDNK1 modem.
====================================================================================
:good:
This ROM is stock Samsung ROM i9200XXUDNK1 (latest release of 4.4.2 from samsung) with S5 built in apps.
I use the stock baseband (modem) i9200XXUDNK1 and have face no issues so far.
Features of this ROM - Unlike any other
Things you will notice on this ROM
=======================================================================
1: I made a unique tweak with air view turned on, Thers always a feedback on the screen whereever your finger moves be it lockscreen or any other window.
2: Power Saving in Settings shows Different options and Power Saving in Notification Toggle shows greyscale options.
3: Viper audio to boost the Audio output.
4: 31 toggles. Even S5 doesn't have so many toggles. But 31 looks best for our big screen.
5: funcitonal Quick connect and SFinder.
6: Watch on remote control on notification panel when turned on.
7: Life Companion (smaller font)
8: First available Ported Note 4 look launcher with no stupid pullup app to screw with it.

16: Haptic feedback enabled by default with sound for air view.(power saving can disable it)
17: Android Version shows 4.4.4 (but its just a tweak)
18: S5 icons on settings and S5 settings.. all working.. no bugs!!
19: First working S5 keyboard for our phones with all working functionality.
20: Some awesome things i did to the ROM that i am forgetting right now to mention.
21: I did no tweaks to the performance of the ROM as I dont wanna play with that part. You can do it yourself.
22: Floating windows and all other tweaks are part of XPOSD
=======================================================================
Why didn't i share this earlier?
I was too busy flashing lollipop ROMs..and just realised this was better than everythin else.
So, spent more time fixin problems on the phone and now i share my work with all of you.
Hope you Enjoy my ROM as i do - but then it really doesn't matter to me if you do not.
If you dislike my work, just remember that no one ever shared a stupid S5 ROM before while all the other phones like S3 s4 and Note 2 Note 3 etc all had developers making S5 and note4 roms for these devices and none for us.
Feel free to rip my ROM apart and do whatever you want with it.
Thanks to Blekota for his Samsung S3 ROM. It made my Mega alive!!
Thanks to unclefab too.
You don't need to make a zip if you are rooted.
From your phone, open your android terminal and type:
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p20 of=/sdcard/system.img
Wait a bit, after a while you'll have your system.img in your sdcard (but make sure you have sufficient storage as it's a pretty big file).
Then, to anyone wanting to push it on one's phone, put the img file on your sd and type:
su
dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p20
You can do it from adb too, just type adb shell before su.
If the phone doesn't boot after flashing the img you'll have to wipe wipe data and cache.
Did you keep the original boot.img or did you flash the S5's?
In case you used the S5's boot.img and want to add it to your rom, type this:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 of=/sdcard/boot.img
@bevinabraham :
my connection is pretty slow too so I'd like to ask you 2 questions before I attempt to download:
1-did you replace the whole system/app and the whole system/framework folders?
2-how is the multi windows function? Any difference compared to the stock Mega 4.4.2?
Do you have that note 4 feature that enables to resize full screen windows from the screen edges (swiping down from either top left or top right)?
The proper way is to use an android kitchen (e.g. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246) but it seems that may be out of your wheel house. There are also ways to make a full update zip of your ROM via nandroid and some play store apps.

Hi,
Actually thats not what i am trying to do.
How to people get the starting new set up wizard etc when you just flash a rom? how do i export all the folders such as the whole system folder with the boot.img in it into a update.zip?
any code for that?
To answer your second question..
I did not replace the whole System APP PrivAPP and the framework folders as its a larger resolution that ours..
So, I just ported only a few files from the system app and a few files from the priv app and a lot of lib and etc files and twframework files.
Then i modded the stock frameworkres.apk file from the framework folder with the s5 frameworkres,apk .
So its pretty much the whole that we see outside is all of s5 stuff..but everythin under it which we cant see (are the stock functions)
and its not themed if thats what u meant.. the lockscreen is of note4..
The floating windows i got using Xposed framework. i can resize it..
The multiwindow is stock multi window.. from the DNK1 rom.. its slightly diff that the old ones i guess as u can add and edit items,.

Yes.. i ll try this.. i saw it in the recovery of PhilzTouch.. to clone the ROM.
trying it now.
The boot.img, if I understood well you kept the one from the mega so you can forget that part.
Then, there's no need for any starting wizzard, people just flash your system.img and get whatever tweaks you put inside, that's it.
You can of course use android kitchen, but the method I gave you is by far the easiest and the fastest.
Nowadays I use this method, I make my rom the way I like it and add this or that, then I make an .img image ready for flashing, and I only use android kitchen if I need to edit my boot.img.
Lat but not least, once you have a system.img you can pass it through 3 commands and make it an odin flashable file for people that aren't rooted.
Reagrding note 4, I'm not interested in lockscreen stuff, I just wanted to know if the multi windows function in your rom is the same than in the stock mega Kk or if it has new features.

I am onot sure if it would work on i9205, but then there is no reason why it should not work as this rom does not have the baseband/modem file etc.. just the boot and the system.

Use it at your own risk!
This mod is NOT for XXJPM!
It has been made from the framework files of a JPQ and JPS, so on an odexed JPM rom it causes bootloop!
It's for XXJPQ and XXJPS.
So it wont make the Browser.apk crash like the older 5 Lockscreen Mod did it.
(Check out the last part of this post!)
(You must be rooted and know how to push files to the phone. And one more thing: first of all you should check the free space in /system (e.g. if you use RootExplorer), especially on the odexed roms.)
5 Lockscreen Mod and Extended Power Menu for Odexed XXJPQ and XXJPS.
5 Lockscreen Mod and Extended Power Menu for Deodexed XXJPQ and XXJPS.
(Framework-res.apk and Settings.apk are stock themed.)
Android LockScreen for odexed/deodexed JPS/JPQ* rom and also for odexed XWJPK is attached below.
* 'android.policy' has been made from JPS, but it works on JPQ too
HOW-TO:
5 Lockscreen Mod
It’s started from the point you have flashed a clean, stock JPS or JPQ via Odin: the device is already booted and you have unplugged the USB cable from it.
Getting root access
- Go to ’Settings > Applications > Development’ and enable ’USB debugging’
- Plug the USB cable back into the phone > run SuperOneClick.exe > press ’Root’ and wait
- When the ’Test?’ dialogue is popped up, say ’Yes’ > you can close SuperOneClick
- Your device has been rooted
- Directly after these steps, do the followings:
Pushing modified files to the phone
- Download the suitable zip for your odexed or deodexed JPQ or JPS rom
- Extract the downloaded zip
- Navigate into the extracted folder
- Run ’push_5lckscr....bat’ and wait*, your device will have rebooted
- Modded files are already pushed to the phone, now you can use your favourite lockscreen and the extended power menu
Of course there are other methods, RootExplorer etc.
*If you are on an odexed rom and see something like this in cmd: "failed to copy 'system\framework/framework.odex' to '/system/framework/framework.odex': No space left on device" and "rm failed for /system/framework/framework.jar, No such file or directory", don't panic, it's normal due to the low free space.
History:
Hi again! Now I have come with a very nice and well known mod. However this one is for people who want to have the 5 Lockscreen Mod and Extended Power menu, but don't want to have a deodexed rom!
So you can download this mod for your odexed XXJPQ/XXJPS from above. I've just realized that the only reason for me to deodex a rom is because of those damn lockscreens and the extended power menu. But I could not find this mod for odexed roms, so I had to odex it by myself.
---
Hello to All, I've attached an android.policy.odex for those who want stock Android lockscreen on their odex XWJPK.
---
Hi All!
After I had deodexed a stock (only rooted) XXJPQ rom, I tried to apply the 5 lockscreen mod on it. Seemed like everything was good... But when I had opened the "Internet", it force-closed immediately (nor factory reset didn't help).
So I had started to search the reason of this issue. After a while I figured out that the FCing of the Internet app was because of the "non-JPQ" framework.jar. So I took the JPQ's framework.jar and added a .smali file to its classes.dex what is necessary for the extended power menu (com\android\internal\app\ShutdownThread.smali).
The result: working 5 lock screen mod with extended power menu on JPQ without crashing of the Internet app!
If interested, you can download it from here. Framework-res.apk and Settings.apk are stock themed files, so you can delete that lines from the batch... Actually, the relevant file is the framework.jar.
Try 5lockscreen mod
mY custom rom has stock lockscreen :L

Which file do you try to deodex? Do you mean all of them? In that case, I use this one, so I recommend. It always works for me. Sorry, but I don't understand exactly the source of your problem (maybe I'm too tired)... What's your goal at all? 5 lockscreen mod on a deodexed XWJPK?
Sry, but I don't understand you exactly, too
I tried this Tutorial and therefore I need android.policy.odex and so a odexed framework, right?
But I'm sorry, at this topic I'm totally new at this topic. It would be nice if you could upload the modded files for JPK...
I am using stock rom jpm rooted by default..i want this 5 lock screen..
Can I get that..?
Please tell me the step by step procedure..

You got this error because when you tried to deodex android.policy, you forgot to pull all the .odex files from /system/framework. For some reason it is not enough to pull only the android.policy.odex
No, I pulled the whole framework, so I can't understand why I get this error!
Strange... By the way, I've uploaded the modified file you asked for.
Thanks a lot
Is there any tutorial about pushing this to the phone? I didnt see it anywhere...
I will update my first post as soon as I have enough time. It will be a few days since now I have to work...
Hi,
Can you make a only Android Lockscreen for XXJPS? I dislike the Extended Powermenu and the Option of more lockscreens, but only want Android Lock.
Hopefully someone can provide me that!
Stylooo
Nice job could you please post some basic instructions for porting this to some other stock(odexed) rom I know how about compiling and decompiling using smali etc just tell me which files to edit .

The stock battery icon on Galaxy wifi 5.0 is not very inspiring and it doesn't tell you the battery level. It is quite easy to replace them on other phones with Clockwork Recovery. You just need to go to UOT kitchen http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/ , pick the icons you like and it will give you a flashable zip file.
Without Clockwork Recovery on Galaxy wifi, it can still be done but with a bit more manual operations.
Prerequisites:
1. A rooted device.
2. Clockworkmod Recovery (optional).
Step 1:
Use Titanium backup (pro version needed) to free up some spaces in /system directory (There are 0 byte free in stock rom). You can delete some unused system apps or convert some of them to user app. For example converting Flash player and google map to user app free up enough space for me.
Step 2:
Backup the following apk files from your stock rom. You can do that by using some file manager like File Expert. These files will be needed by UOT kitchen
/system/app/SystemUI.apk
/system/framework/framework-res.apk
/system/framework/twframework-res.apk
Step 3:
Go to UOT kitchen http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/ and cook your custom UI. Make sure you read their how-to here first http://uot.dakra.lt/how_to/
Step 4a: (follow this if you have Clockworkmod Recovery)
Copy the zip produced by UOT kitchen to your internal SD card. Reboot to CWM Recovery and flash the zip file using the option "Install zip from sd card". Then reboot and you are done.
Step 4b: (follow this if you don't have Clockworkmod Recovery)
Extract the 3 modified apk files from the zip package produced by UOT kitchen and put them into a convenient location on your sdcard, say /sdcard/
Step 5:
The system directory is by default read only. You need to remount it as r/w. I do that through adb shell
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p13 /system
Step 6:
Copy your new apk files into /system directory
Code:
cp /sdcard/SystemUI.apk /system/app/
cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework/
cp /sdcard/twframework-res.apk /system/framework/
Step 7:
Restart your device. The /system directory should remounted as read only and the new UI will take effect.
Disclaimer:
Certainly there are risked involved and I did corrupted my rom on several occasions when trying this out. So make sure you have a functional ROM around before you give this a try.
thanks for the tips.
hey I wanna ask you about is it can fully modification from http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/
I mean don't just modify battery icon but every option that site provide.
thanks in advance.
" Step 1:

How do you do that with titanium backup? Do you have to get pro?

I have only experimented with icons so far. Other mod may be possible because UOT kitchen does support gingerbread. Since this device is new, we need some brave soul to try that out

Yes, you will need the pro version. If you have the pro version, long press an app will give you the option to do the conversion.
Well, while deleting apps with TI, I decided to get rid of "phone", figuring I didn't need it, but it turns out Google voice needs it! Trying to "restore", but just hangs forever. If someone could give me the "com.sec.android.app.dialertab.apk" located in /system/app/ I would really appreciate it!
EDIT; I just reinstalled voice from market, seemed to fix it, I wouldn't advise removing phone from the apps though!
can you make the display of battery accurate to 1%?thank you!
First make it accurate to 5%, then work on 1%
I think the accuracy of the battery level is deeper down in the system, may be in the kernel?
If you try different types of battery widget on Galaxy Player, they all have very bad accuracy.
I want to edit the framework-res.apk manually, instead of using the kitchen. Do the files need to be deoxed? Would flashing a framework-res compiled with apk manager brick the device?
nice guide!
I've used UOT Kitchen to get ICS transitions, change icons, battery, fonts, and customize the status bar and they all work on my galaxy player 4.0 US.
what are those different icons you have on your notifications like the wifi icon and what launcher is that ADW?

I am using the "Color pack V8 animated" icon set on UOT kitchen. The launcher is GO Launcher.

There is still an odex file in the system directory. I suppose it is not deoxed but UOT kitchen doesn't seem to bother with that file. I guess it is because these apk files don't contain any executable code.

Disclaimer:
Certainly there are risked involved and I did corrupted my rom on several occasions when trying this out. So make sure you have a functional ROM around before you give this a try.

Two things, if you please:
When you say "corrupted my rom", you can't boot your device but you can still go to dl mode, correct?
"functional ROM" is the fw/md5 file we usually flash via odin/heimdall?
I'd like to try this out (& then some...) but, in the absence of a custom recovery, I don't wanna have to go through the lengths of "resurrecting" my sgp. TIA!

In my case, it couldn't boot beyond the samsung start up screen, but I can still boot into download mode. Since we are only modifying a file within the file system, it is very unlikely that it will destroy the download mode.
If you can get to download mode, you can flash one of the firmwares you found in this forum using odin. You need to be sure you have the correct firmware for your device though, because there are so many variant of Galaxy Player. What is the version of your device?
nvm that (i was thinking on the same lines too though) but thanks anyway! appreciate it.
thanks to your guide, was able to change my fonts and added that flying in pop up animation as well. for these two, however, i don't think we need the kitchen though and for that matter, we don't need to modify systemui & twframework.
for fonts (you could use font changer apps, but i hate doing so for such things), take any you fancy from anywhere here in xda (WARNING: only extract the downloaded file to your device/pc) then rename (case sensitive) font files accordingly: Clockopia.ttf, DroidSans.ttf, DroidSans-Bold.ttf. copy these to sd & push to /system/fonts/ using similar cp command/s from OP.
for pop up animation, you could follow this guide. no need to sign after replacing files in /res/anim. copy modded framework-res.apk to sd then push to device via same commands in OP.
btw, wouldn't issuing "reboot" within adb shell be more convenient & safer after changing system files while booted to android? it's what i did instead of rebooting via power button, as you'll most likely see an FC fiesta after replacing these files.

Theses are good suggestions, will definitely give them a try.
As for changing system fonts, I like to use the Font Installer app on the market
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.canvs2321.font_installer&hl=en The nice thing is I can preview the fonts before changing them.
As for the reboot, actually I did try using the reboot command once but it toasted my rom on that occasion. That's why I didn't mention the method in the guide. May be I should give that another try next time.
Hopefully, we will get CWM soon then it will be much easier to flash these mods.

I think the accuracy of the battery level is deeper down in the system, may be in the kernel?
If you try different types of battery widget on Galaxy Player, they all have very bad accuracy.

Kernel battery driver is very simplistic and only has 5% increments in the numbers it returns.
On my list to look at once I finish CWM - no guarantees.

Ok guys and gals this thread started as custom lock screen on/off sounds but since then i have found in my opinion another cool mod from the s4 forum that is compatible on our devices that i think you may enjoy as well. These are not my mods in anyway i just found,tried and confirmed these working on the Note3. Please give credit where it is due if you use these mods/ports.
.........ALWAYS MAKE YOUR BACKUPS BEFORE MODDING ANYTHING!........
First up is the custom on/off lock screen sounds by a guy over on the Sprint S4 forum by the name of dav3wash so don't forget to hit that thanks button when you get over there.
1)Pick and download any of the Lock/unlock sounds you wish from the link below.
2)Extract the Lock.ogg and unlock.ogg from the zip and place on sd card in a new folder named whatever you wish.
3)With any file explorer with root access Navigate to [System / system / Media / audio / ui]
4)Scoll down til you see Lock.ogg and unlock.ogg
5)Delete or move stock sounds to the folder you made in step (2) (Incase you want to go back to stock).
6)Place custom Lock.ogg/unlock.ogg where the stock ones were shown in step (3)
7)Back out of file explorer and reboot your device.
8)After reboot Navigate to [Settings / device / lock screen / unlock effect / and set to ripple/ink] and your good to go!!!!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2304198
Hope you enjoy these sounds!!!
If for any reason you would like to go back to stock the link below is the stock lock.ogg/unlock.ogg zip. This zip is non-flashable and must be pushed the same way you pushed the custom sounds. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/iw4u1ak89vl233g/AADXINdF3qBGr65eWPOLNfJ5a?dl=0
Next on the list is the Penguin ROM N7 Animations Port.(Sadly not working on NH7 or Nk4) I think this might be one of the coolest animations I've seen. Ive used this port on the s4 and now here on the Note3. CPA Poke's install method uses TWRP but i used Philz Touch and it worked fine .This ported animation originally came from a developer by the name of Skyfall007(Maker of the Penguin Rom1.1 / 4.2.2) on the Nexus 7 forum found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41820147 and seshmaru found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16420559 for technical reasons i can barely comprehend and was ported over by CPA Poke. You can find him in the s4 forums and probably the Nexus 7 forums .Thank all these guys for their hard work. All the downloads and install/uninstall instruction for this animation port can be found in the link below.
HAPPY MODDING!!!!!! Penguin ROM N7 Animations Port http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42424224

Posted a link up top .
So I was poking around and came acorss these in my travels. typically these would fall under the themes and apps section but beings they are listed for Note 4 apps I thought I'd post them here incase anyone was interested. Please give albe95 thanks for posting these over at the Galaxy s4 forum. (Note 4 apps.) Enjoy!!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/themes-apps/exclusive-note-4-apps-collection-t2882577
Got another mod here for all you guys and gals. Are you sick of that annoying droplet sound that you get everything you touch in app or menu? I know I sure was! So here's an alternative. The it will be a zip file you download THEY ARE NOT FLASHABLE!!!! They must be installed manually.
1)Use any root file manager and navigate to root system/media/audio/ui
2)Pull the TW_Touch.ogg and S_HW_Touch.ogg and save them to a new folder incase you wanna go back to stock sounds
3)Extract the content in the zip file that you downloaded from the link below.
3Copy the extracted files and paste them in there rightful places that you previously pulled your stock sounds from.
4) Back out of your file manager and reboot.
All done!!! Enjoy!
Just so you know the TW_Touch.ogg is for anything on screen that is touched and the S_WH_Touch.ogg is for your (Back) and (Menu)
Im gonna upload a few more options here shortly but for now check out the one I linked. Hope you like.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/eybkqkhce1w0htu/Droplet touch replacement.zip?dl=0
So I was going to upload more touch sounds which I am still going to do. The link below is my current setup which I find the sounds to match perfectly with the screen transitions mod that I'm running which would be the N7 posted above. However I thought I'd just throw this out there.
Assuming your already rooted and have a root file manger. (I use FX root manager)
If you go to root system/system/media/audio/ui theres a list of all the sounds for this device.
Just check out all the sounds available and find one you like for a touch sound.
Long press the sound you wish and a menu should appear.
Copy the sound and store it by press paste somewhere that is easy for you to access.
Now just rename the sound.
TW_Touch.ogg for screen touch and S_HW_Touch.ogg for (Back) and(Menu)
After you've renamed them go back into ui sounds and find the stock sounds I just listed and move them to a file incase you wanna return back to stock.
Now take the sounds you renamed and put them in the stock sounds place.
Back out and reboot. And there you go. (My touch sounds) https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001609348 This is a NON-FLASHABLE zip
And as always have a back up just in case!!! If you've found this useful… Hit that thank you button!!!
Ok guys and gals I got something new for you. Are you a fan of S-finder and Quick Connect in your notification drop down but running a rom that doesn't have this included in the package? Well today is your lucky day my friends. I've tested and confirm working on fre3 rom 2.25b only so if you try with other roms please drop by to list the rom you've got it running on so that others may know. And incase you was wondering (tbltespr) is for the Sprint Note Edge. I was wondering if I would get some edge feature but S-finder and Quick Connect is all that popped up. Ok ok here are the steps to get this little tweak working.
Oh and I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU DESTROY YOUR DEVICE SO TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
1) Have a back up or make a back up from the recovery of your choice of your current set up incase anything goes wrong in the process.
2) This is a build prop tweak so you will need to download a build prop editor from the playstore. I use this one but any will probaby work just as well. "Build Prop Editor"
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.buildpropeditor
3)You will need to download and install the Quick Connect apk non-flashable zip from this link here.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95897840722645991
Theres 2 apk's in the download zip folder.
4)With your file manager navigate to your download folder find the zip you downloaded and tap to open then copy the 2 apk's then navigate to rooted system/systen/apps and paste the 2 files you copied and back out.
5)Once thats done open up the build prop editor you downloaded from the playstore.
6)Scroll over til you see where you do the editing now scroll down til you see
ro. product.name =hltespr and change it to tbltespr
ro.product.device = hltespr and change it to tbltespr
ro.build.product = hltespr and change it to tbltespr
7)When your done scroll back up and save your edit.
8)Now just reboot your device and profit.
If for any reason you wish to go back you can:
Restore your back up or change the tbltespr back to hltespr and delete the apk's and reboot.
Here's some screenshots if it helps. Hope you liked and happy modding!

Odin Update Zips
So I came across these Odin updates in my travels and wanted to share incase anyone was interested. I didn't see anything said anywhere really. Hope I'm not reposting something that is already on here.
Odin v3.09.3 https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347763515
Odin v3.10.6 https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347763513
Hope this helps someone!
As some of you may know, the newer galaxy devices come preloaded with the ability to open 4 apps at once in Touchwiz's multiwindow. Older devices aren't as fortunate.
Here's where a very simple mod comes in to play. Sure, u could flash a ROM that supports this feature, but why when u can just add ONE .xml file?
Instructions:
1. Download the link in this post. It is the quad-view.xml that enables this feature.
2. Navigate to where u downloaded the .xml file and copy it.
3. Paste the .xml in /etc/permissions.
4. Change permissions of the .xml to -rw-r--r--.
5. Reboot. Profit.
I have tested and confirmed this to work on Eclipse ROM. I would like to know if this works with other roms and different setups.
IM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR DEVICE IF U MANAGE TO DAMAGE IT DOING THIS!

It works on Empty Galaxy (03/29 release).
Not sure what I would use it for, but it does work.

HI all
It's for the 3830 model i'm not sure if work on any other device
Few months ago I finally could change my tablet's battery icons so I want to share with you if you want to try
You need:
-A cwm backup only if a fc appears (then reboot in recovery, advanced restore, restore system)
-Xposed gravitybox module working (it's no necesary but is for avoid the bug appears
-a rom that works (for easy way) I recommend deodexed I cannot remember if works on odexed roms
-Rooted and knowledge about flashing through fastboot (for hard way)
If I miss something I will edit
This mod allows you to change the battery icons of your tablet and works, but it has 1 bug that I don't know if can be solved:
this is the thread where i found how to do the mod
The bug is that gravitybox can't change the color of the battery icon, but you can change the battery icon and this includes the color so it's not a big problem.
I'll try to ask for support at least for the screen freeze, but for now i'll tell you the method for installing it
There are 2 ways:
------->First of all have an updated backup if something goes wrong you need to restore!<---------
Then download my modded apk i'will attach all of they
easy way
is modifying a .zip file (you can do it even in your tablet but is slower and you need like 1.7 Gb free. In computer use zip editor I.e. Winrar)
1.- Extract somewhere in you computer,tablet
2.- Once made it erase systemui.apk and systemui.odex (if is odexed)from extracted directory/system/priv-app
3.- add my modded apk
4.-create zip ( recompile the files that you extracted)
5.- flash it in cwm recovery like a fresh rom
You can also edit the zip without extracting just go to the directory erase the files that I metion below then add my systemui.apk modded and wait for finish then do step 5.-
hard way
is when you don't want to break your head with you computer or you don't have it or don't want to use etc.
1.-locate my modded systemui.apk with a root Explorer then copy or cut
2.- go to root/system/priv-app/
3.- select systemui.apk and systemui.odex and erase them (maybe give you constant fc so you need precision and be patient
4.- paste my systemui.apk
5.- set permissions to rw-r-r (I'll attach a screenshot for how to do it)
6.- reboot and if you're lucky your battery icons will change wothout fc's
If you have fc from step 3.- this will take you a while only continue
If works go to NOTE 1 for avoid the bug and everything will go fine
Maybe hard way is too much
I attach only those that work maybe I need suggestions about the charging animations
problems check post 2
NOTE 2:
tis mod also allow to modules to change the battery icons with an xposed module xbattery themer If I not wrong. Also a theme compatible can change your battery icons maybe is a problem but is not a bug this is normal
NOTE 3
The first screenshot is v1.5 from attached zip then v2.0 and then 2.5
There are 2 versions In v2.0 only changes the charhging anim
Not working?
I'm not guarantee that work on your tablet but maybe there are mistakes
1.- check the permissions don't follow the image the root explorers aren't the same
If really doesn't work you need to restore a backup or flash a non-modded rom
The problem may be caused in odexed roms so you need to deodex and try again
for those that don't have a cwm recovery
If you don't have a recovery use fastboot and flash a stock .Img.gz rom
(turn off your tablet, boot in fastboot)
(fastboot flash system drag and drop file to command prompt, enter)
Or use the tethered cwm recovery for backup-restore your current rom
It's at your own risk and I'm not responsible for damages but it's too much it's only an apk
There is dual boot thread, I'm still without test it but if you have it and the dualboot allow you to go to the root of the tablet you can overwrite the apk for a non-modded skipping the steps but again i'm not sure if this is possible
I have some doubtss......mighht be a noob doubt
Will it work in 4.4.2???
Will i get any problm...later like force closing???
I dont have a cw recovery now
So cant flash unsigned files

Let me anwer your questions
Yes it's only for 4.4.2
Only if not works you'll have several fc becuase systemui can't start or your wallpaper will be black because system couldn't install the mod during the boot
I posted in post #2 if you don't have cwm recovery
Flash a stock rom in .gz format through fastboot sorry my mistake but as it says will return your system to stock (without xposed and root) so I don't recommend it
Ok:thumbup:
I will test it soon
Sent from my Venue 8 3830
UPDATE!!!
The problem of the screen freeze is gone and the Google search ring displays so you don't need xposed for trying to fix
After all it was a problem in apktool but I found it and the problem and now work perfectly
But I haven't time to make with other battery icons, for now I'll upload the systemui.apk that I'm using also it have other things but hope you like it.
I am sure that now can be decompiled the app and rebuild with other icons and xml.
Sorry for the fast reply I don't have Internet but I needed to reply that the bug has gone
