this was very useful on gnex, was hoping it could be fixed to work on our nexus 5. it might help us sprint users out.
The same apk might just work. Have you tried it? Also, if you install Nova launcher you can access shortcuts through activities for Sprint settings with some advanced parameters.

Hello all,
I am having some difficulties trying to get advanced launcher working. Actually, its just that some of my widgets refuse to work with it. I'm using the stand alone from the market, should I try the replacement from the topic on xda? Or just give up on wanting to hide apps in the drawer?
I have the Sprint Hero, and this is my ROM history throughout the month I've used it...
Stock --> Fresh 1.0 --> Fresh 1.1 --> Full Wipe --> RUU Stock 1.56 --> Gumbo 1.5b --> +Gumbo Kernel beta
I have partitioned the SD card with each ROM to FAT32+swap+ext3. Apps2SD appears to be functioning fine.
I've noticed that I have a couple apps that lose their settings after every single reboot. This hasn't changed across any of the configurations I've been through, except for on stock. It behaved the same on both Fresh ROMS and still does this on Gumbo.
The 2 apps in particular that annoy me the most with this issue are Weather Widget 3.5 (I paid for the official app), and GTalk Quick Status (I paid for the official app). I'm more interested in these since I keep them both on my home screen. They function perfectly after they are setup, and are very useful apps.
But sure enough, every time I reboot the phone, they have to be re-configured (or widget removed/replaced) and enter the settings again for them to work.
The apps creators and other customers have provided no other feedback of anyone else seeing this issue, and I'm believing that it is something on my end.
Would anyone have any idea why some apps do not retain their settings after reboot? And any advice on what I could do to fix this issue?
Weather Widget is an incompatibility with Sense. If you stop using Sense and use the vanilla home screen, it remembers its settings. Very annoying, but it's the developer's fault.

Weather Forecast v2 and MoreIcons are two widgets I know of that have started to add an extra configuration to their setup screens to workaround the Sprint Hero widget bug.
With the fix in place though, you can only have one instance of the widget running at any given time. Makes the MoreIcons widget somewhat useless, but at least some devs are acknowledging that the bug exists and are doing what they can to make it easier for the end user.
The problem does seem to be with the Sense UI only though because I'm using the SweeterHome UI now and don't have any issues.
I like the G3 interface and many of the features. I prefer less bloatware than AT&T comes with and I don't need all of Goofles crap either, but I an get rid of them. I just want a rooted ROM with the Nexus dialer. I've tried most of the ROM's posted here and none of them have it. I don't really want to use a 3rd party launcher to do it so any suggestions? Anything I might have missed?
You can get .apk from here http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...ll-it-manually-on-other-kitkat-roms-download/ i used the flashable version on cloudy v1.2 and just go to app drawer and move phone to home screen(blue icon not green one)
I'll give this a try...
But from what I've read you can't fully replace the stock dialer and the caller I'd feature doesn't work. It's worth a shot though, thanks.
I was wondering if anybody has experimented with adding apps to the Split-Screen selection. Since we don't have Xposed on the VZW variant, I believe that Wanam is out of the picture.
I have used apps in the past on the Note 3 to enable any app for Multi-Window, just curious if anybody has tried this.
I have just got my first Android phone and although it is great one thing is driving my OCD mad.
I read that Samsung have disabled access to the System Tuner UI. I want to delete quick settings icons from the pull down menu.
Is there any any way to do this? I can only seem to rearrange them. I tried various ROMs but I couldn't get it to work.
Thank you.
i am looking for a way too.
I have emailed the UK CEO to see what he can do.
I have put it on ebay.

System Tuner UI doesn't exist on Samsung roms. Given that pretty much all roms are currently based off of Touchwiz, there unfortunately is no way to fix this.
(it's not that they disabled System UI Tuner - it simply doesn't exist on devices not using stock Android)

Thank you. I found a way to delete icons with GravityBox except for one icon. I was too eager to put it on ebay.
