in kitkat, the galaxy s4 settings section was split into different screens for each sections. now that I'm on rooted OC1 lolipop, the settings page is now one long screen with all the settings sections. is there a way to place the settings into sections again?
Check around and see if anyone has the ported the apk or something, personally i like the new UI much+ good luck ?
I ran out of ideas, so there wont be anything interesting here...

This, I personally like the list view better but to each their own.

Is there any way to change the lower 4 icons, or at least set it back to default? I lost my Phone and Contacts icon, just Messaging and Applications are showing.
Not sure how this happened, it started somewhere between updating to WKE2 -> Rooting -> Adding the stock kernel back again -> Freezing some apps. I have unfrozen all apps nog, but the 2 icons have not come back to the static buttons at the bottom. I can however see them in Applications.
BTW, besides than this WKE2 seems to be running smooth for me, was a little worried after seeing some other threads.
in the app drawer you can hit the left soft key -> edit and just drag anything u like to the dock.
Hah, I *am* a TouchWiz noob. Thanks!
I must be doing something wrong as i cant get the bottom 4 apps to change. I can customise the othe pages but not the 4 apps on the home page. Any futher help for a noob.

Open up the App Drawer, hit 'Menu' (left softkey), drag what icon you want out and replace it with what you want.
Bare in mind you can only replace three of the four icons.
Many thanks for the pointers, got it sorted.

I have a rooted galaxy s3 with custom rom but im just wandering the older version of android has that recent app menu in the notification menu which i liked, is there a way i can get it back ?
What do you mean?

Isn't that a HTC Sense thing?
I just hold the home button and use the task switcher..
This is an HTC thing. An old HTC thing.

I agree
Just like the galaxy nexus the on screen navigation keys.... Back home and recent apps button was great because on the galaxy S3 having to switch recent apps by pressing home button will wear and tear button and takes 2 seconds whereas on screen recent apps button was perfect
I know AOKP rom has this on screen keys mod but any add on that someone is developing or has developed for s3 with touchwiz framework would be winderful.... This new TW is beginning to grow on me

i think goluacher also has a recent and running apps in the menu.
Check out "Task Switcher" by gdroid on play store (com.gdroid.fastfive).
Personally I didn't like it, as the curtain doesn't close automatically. But it seems to work fine.
Maybe a developer can bake it back in once some roms start flowing. But nothing I've seen. Let us know!

Good job posting what the guy on top of you posted. How helpful.
There is a new app on the market called Multitask Shortcut, it's not free (only £0.50 though) and I have not tried it but it does seem to do what you are after (check out the video he has on the app page)...

Just switched over from Samsung Fascinate (hey nitsuj17). 4g is super fast I'm loving this phone, got all the vzw bloat disabled. Can't wait for s-off, root and all that good stuff.
I have one question though. Why is there no notification quick-settings, wasn't that added in 4.1?

Added by nit... Settings in the upper right hand corner is similar.
I thought the one x and other HTC phones had the quick setttings tab on stock.

I thought I was gonna hurl the thing out a window when I first got it. Now I use the recent apps button all the time. I sure miss having them rotate though
And I agree, I miss the search button.
Long press on the home button for recent apps is more efficient use of the buttons. Then the recent apps button could be search.

Unless I am mistaken, this is how the "3-button mod" works. It will be another benefit of the pending root.

quick setting and htc on sense4/4.1/4/5/4+ has been an oddity for sure across the one series and other phones
on random ota/roms they enable it, others they disable it, others they completely remove the code
many sense4.1 ota's enabled a toggle in settings that allowed for switching of "recent" apps to menu...ours didnt for some reason
once you are rooted, custom roms fix this issue...and viperRom allows you to completely remap the long presses of all 3 buttons, and select what you want the menu to be
cant wait for root then

just realised i can remove the verizon apps tab in the app drawer, and if you just have only one tab the tab bar dosent show up. Its nice.

Galaxy S5 Tips and Tricks Thread!
So there seems to be one of these thread for every device on XDA so why not start one for the new Galaxy S5!
Here is a few things to start off,
Missing the menu button? If you long press the new recent apps button it opens the menu!
To access developer options, navigate to settings/about phone and tap the build number 5 times!
Once in developer options, Samsung has left in the ability to switch to the new ART runtime which may give you a performance boost!
Most people should know this by now, but to access the kitkat easter egg, go to settings/about phone and tap the Android version 5 times.
cTo access recovery/download options, its the same as its been since the S2, hold down either volume down for download mode or volume up for recovery and hold the home button while pressing the power button.
There are many flagship apps that Samsung (for some reason) has decided not to ship with. Make sure to go to the Samsung store to install them. The S5 does support S Note, S Translator, WatchOn and many more!
Also, check out the Galaxy Deals section for specials on premium services such as Evernote Premium.
You can change the layout of the settings between grid, list or tab view but tapping the menu on the top right.
If anyone has any more feel free to post them!
Anyone try running ART? Thoughts?
What is the difference between ART and the Dalvik Cache? Why does ART improve performance?

For anybody unaware, Samsung has been giving a 50% off discount on accessories from their website when you register your phone, and sometimes free cases, but this time it's the discount. I plan on ordering a wireless charging kit, with the 50% it should come to about $35
You should add the tip of how to disable the magazine from the launcher by disabling it in the home screen settins

How did you get Shealth to work? This has been confirm by several other people that once you install Xposed framework, SHealth will force close. I have also tested many things including clearing data, uninstalling etc. and it still force closes.

No, but they may spam with you newsletters and deals and may need to unsubscribe. No downside to it really

Nope not at all, you may just get updates and stuff through email from Samsung but thats pretty much it.
Does anyone know a way to get a menu option on one of the hardware keys? Recents, home, back...
I used xposed on cm12 based ROMs on my S5, and the app "all in one gestures" on touchwiz based lollipop ROMs, but I can't use either on the s6 edge (app says device not supported).
Any ideas? I have an app I use for work and it doesn't have the overflow-3 buttons to access the menu!
Turns out the app I was talking about now has the overflow menu button, but it's not a part of the app, it seems android has noticed it didn't have one and added one itself?
Does that seem right?
We developed this app so know it doesn't have this natively...
I noticed TouchWiz give is a little floating menu for apps that don't have one. XDA is a good example.
