[HOWTO][TW][KK]Enable List UI in Settings App - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General

Hey guys, just thought I'd share this little tweak with you all. During this Galaxy S5 setting craziness, I was playing around and found a way to show the stock Settings app in a list view. So for those who hate Samsung's tabbed view in the Settings app (like me! ), or just want a UI refresh, this is the tweak you've been looking for!
EDIT: This was originally posted here by @a9402169 before I found out about it, though you won't need a root explorer for the method below.
Requirements/Compatibility: (Will modify as it changes)
TouchWiz 4.4.2 (May work on 4.2.2+; please test and let me know!)
Galaxy S4 i337/i337M/i9500
You must be ROOTED.
You must not be afraid to tinker!
WARNING:
If this tweak does not produce what it should on your device (i.e. The UI in the screenshots I've posted below), please do not blame me for this! I am not responsible for what happens to your device! Test it at your own risk! But if you find this works in different circumstances than what I've outlined above, please let me know! I simply tried it on my device on a CLEAN ROM flash, and it worked very well.
So let's get started.
Instructions:
You will need to get the SQLite Editor app. It's a paid app!
Open up SQLite Editor and make sure to give it root permissions.
When the app list loads, navigate to, and tap on Settings Storage.
Tap settings.db, then system.
Tap the + button at the top to add a new entry to this table.
Enter name as settings_listui and value as 1 and tap the Save button. (See screenshots)
Exit SQLite Editor and remove the Settings app from recent apps if necessary.
Launch the Settings app and see the results.
Results:
BEFORE: Screenshot 1 below.
DURING: Screenshots 3 & 4 below.
AFTER: Screenshot 2 below.
And last but not least, if this has helped you out, please hit the THANKS button!

Oh you're on stock? Hm. I once had that issue resolved by updating the version of SQLite Editor. Are you using the most up to date one?

An uninstall and reinstall worked.

[18 JAN] [MOD] Unlimited MultiWindow Apps [EUCMA3 & XXCMA1 Added]

What does this Mod Do?
This mod will give you "unlimited" multiwindow apps and a minimize button for windows. Also enabled double tap on titlebar to maximize windows.
NEW UPDATE 18 January 2013
Just added Unlimited MultiWindow Mod for N8013-UEUCMA3 & N8000-XXCMA1 and updated N8000_XXCLL3. I hope this new update will give you unlimited multiwindow apps without needing to mod apks or edit the csc file. As I do not have a note10.1 to test it, please let me know if it works.
Some info about the Resize Button that appears on the control bar or bottom right of every opened app. The JB 4.1.2 has the necessary code that put the Resize button on every supported app while the JB 4.1.1 doesn't. The only way to put the Resize button on every app for JB 4.1.1 is to insert the missing code fragment from the 4.1.2 to the 4.1.1 located in android.policy.jar (MultiPhoneWindowEvent$SwithToPreviousSizeButton.smali). Or modding the apps apk and specifically inserting the necessary multiwindow code and dimensions. That is a lot of work and impossible for me to do without a test device. Add to that the fact that smali is a totally foreign language.
Information about the Flashable Files.
There are now 2 options for each ROM version. For example, N8000-XXCMA1.UnlimitedApps will give you unlimited multiwindow apps. Whereas, N8000-XXCMA1.useMultiWindowManagerApp will display all apps on the traybar but wont display as MultiWindow unless enabled with bjbinc's MultiWindow Manager App. So basically the traybar becomes a launcher for both multiwindow and non-multiwindow apps. If an app has been multiwindow-enabled then it will display as multiwindow but if not multiwindow enabled, it will load as a normal fullscreen app. Both versions contain the minimize button and the double-tap to maximize feature. I tried my best to enable 4wayReboot options (even though I haven't tested it) and added Circle Battery theme.
How to install?
1. Make a nandroid backup to be safe. It is essential that you always make a backup.
2. You need to be on a rooted deodex ROM preferably unmodified framework files.
3. Download the appropriate mod for your rom/device below and flash thru CWM recovery.

So I tried to make a patch to enable Unlimited Apps for Multiwindow which may or may not work for Note10.1 that is why I call it a "Test" for those who are willing to try. This is the same patch I made to enable unlimited multiwindow apps for my floating multiwindows mod for note n7000 which basically brings the features of note10.1 to note1. I included a CWM flashable restore file in case you want to go back.
How to install?
Make a nandroid backup to be safe. You need to be on a rooted XXCLL3 ROM preferably unmodified framework files.Just download the UnlimitedMultiwindowApps.mod.zip file and flash thru CWM recovery. To restore, just flash the restore.orig.zip.
Important Information:
Apps which are not specifically modded for multiwindows do not appear on the traybar but when you launch them on the homescreen or drawer, they have the "multiwindow button" at the top right or bottom right to make them into a floating window. The trick is to install a launcher like swipepad and launch it as a window and almost all apps that you launch on swipepad will launch in window mode. Swipepad in window mode will serve as replacement for the traybar to launch windowed apps. Give it a try.

Thanks I will try it when i reach come, but if your rom is based on a real note 10.1 rom then in theory it should work or it should be modified allittle more to work on our note

Try to set window layout to cascade mode. If it does not resize, maybe the framework-res.apk needs to be altered as well.

yeah, in all Multiwindow apps except the already built in ones by Samsung.
Thanks! This is a good modification.
However, this modification only works with the visualization to cascade mode and the dimension of the reduced windows with the modification is much more big of those redoubts with the multiwindows original.

The mod is fully working now Thank You for taking an intrest in our device and making this work!!
Works on Redemption ROM. I have one app that crashes from the mod. It is a rotation control app that does not need the multiscreen feature. Is there a way I can manually fix this? I may be able to fix it myself if I knew how your mod works. Thanks for the awesome work. Our Note 10.1's will put iPad users to shame.
Update:
I fixed my issue by uninstalling and reinstalling the app. I'll have to see if it still works after a reboot too.

Do I have to flash part 2 also?
Till now everything is working fine with just part one.
What does part 2 do?
One thought, the icons is in the bottom right corner, just at the same effect place as the "enter" key in SwiftKey tablet.
So I often press that button instead of the enter.
Otherwise working outstanding mate!

MultiWindow Control App {added LSZ support}

OPTION 1 : For DEODEX Roms Only
If you have a note 2, maybe you are familiar with the MultiWindow Control App (MWC) by legendk95. The MultiWindow Control app, as the name implies, controls which apps are added on the Multiwindow bar (flashbar). You can find out more about it HERE. It was only available for note 2 users until now. I got curious the other night and thought I would like to find out how legendk95's mod works so I sort of reverse engineered his note 2 files and luckily I was successful. I asked his permission and he allowed me to share it with you. Credit and donations goes to him. So here it goes.
How to install?
Be sure you are on a rooted deodex rom - XXLSZ, XXLSC, UBLS4 or ZSLM5. Make a nandroid backup.
Download the flashable file for your rom version below and just flash thru CWM recovery.
Download and install MWC app below or for the latest version go HERE.
Launch the MWC app and select your apps. When you are finished selecting apps, press the back button and it will ask to kill Multiwindow bar. Press kill it then check the Multiwindow bar for the apps you selected. Videos of the app in action are available HERE.
Note: This mod is only for stock multiwindow, ie flashbar tray (not floating multiwindows).
OPTION 2 : For rooted ODEX & DEODEX Roms
As suggested by mscion, you can use the XposedMultiWindow.apk (credit and thanks to scalee for the module) you can find HERE if you are already using the Xposed Framework by rovo89. This module will give you unlimited apps on the multwindow bar without having to flash anything which means it should work for both ROOTED DEODEX and ODEX ROMS. To install, you must have Xposed Framework installer installed first (some info HERE) and just install the XposedMultiwindow.apk module and enable it in Xposed Installer then reboot.
Re: MultiWindow Control App { LSC, LS4 & LM5}
Nice 1
just thinking of same thing and its already here... nice...
So first of all we need to deodex LM5 then flash this mod which is long and too much trouble for me.
doing one. but still noob with it and dont dare to release it to others...
Many thanks Mate...:laugh:
Looks awesome again great Mod from U:good:

MultiWindow Control App vs. XposedMultiwindow.apk
HI. I have a Tmobile Galaxy Note 2. To allow all apps for mulitview I used the XposedMultiwindow.apk. This immediately puts all apps on the screen you get when pressing edit in multiview to transfer to the multiview bar. The MultiWindow Control App seems to require you to select apps to put on the edit screen which you then again select to put on the multiview bar. Is this correct? If so, why would this be preferable over XposedMultiwindow. Perhaps as an overall framework to do things the MultiWindow Control App is a better approach? Anyways, just asking!
Yay! I used second option on LM5 and it works no need to deodex my rom :good:
Thanks
was planning on staying on pure stock LM5
but looks like i gotta root now :laugh:
Just added mod support for XXLSZ Roms. See OP for details.

UPDATE 1: Google Search Force Close fix:
Long press the home screen, select Settings. Select Voice. Select Language to change the default. Change to another language, for me I choose English – UK. Hit Home. Do a Google Search. Repeat the first three steps. Change back to English – US. (you may have to redo this step every time you restart --- if you experienced FC --- for non-rooted users)
OR
Please extract and replace the /system/lib/libgoogle_recognizer_jni.so with the one downloaded from here: . (permanent fix --- for rooted users)
UPDATE 2: "Ok, Google" search feature fix:
If anyone has a problem with the "Ok, Google" search feature, you have to get the English (US) language update. Under Google Now settings, tap "Offline Speech Recognition" --- "All" and tap "English (US)" to update. After it is done, press home and it should be working! If you've cleared data on the app, it'll erase the update and you'll need to do this again.
Didn't Work for me so I moved GNow and Launcher to System and now works perfectly
Thank you for all the support this community gives me! (Unlike I9300 )

[Fix] NA1/NA5_Work around to enable installation of non-market apps and disable googl

Hello Users/Readers:
I'm just your average Falsh-o-holic, who combs through all of the S4 threads to find what's been accomplished/useful information. I have not come across this work around, so I decided to post this info users of the NA1/NA5 Roms who cannot access the Security, settings option.
Disclaimer:
Use this info at your own risk. I am not responsible if this breaks your device.
I am posting this info using my XDA app. I also did this without the need of a PC. Please do not ask for links. Everything I used can be found on this web site, play store or google, except for the kernel. I'll try to be specific. Feel free to add links if you want to help other Users.
My Phone/ROM info:
Confimed working on an US AT&T SGH-I337 S4. I believe this will work on all S4 models. I currently am running Echo Rom v14 (NA5), with old bootloader and wifi working kernel (had to flash the loki doki.zip as well, which can be found all over the AT&T S4 thread).
Links of this kernel have sadly been removed.
I also use the AT&T MK2 modem - I intitially got 4G speed/icon.
I had to preform a few adjustments to the build prop and created a new PTA apn to achieve a stronger LTE connection.
I flahed the Att CSC fix zip (Can be found on the Virgin Rom thread in the OP.) as well.
Tools needed for this permission edit:
SQLite Editor or similar app.
I used SQLite Editor v2.0.1
Solution:
1) Using SQLite editor (in the apps menu) I scrolled down to the Settings Storage app and selected it/pressed it.
2) On the next screen I selected/pressed on the settings.db option.
3) Find the line that reads - install_non_market apps (line 19 for me) and press on it/select it. Then select the edit option (pencil icon top of the screen).
4) Change the value from 0 to 1 and save.
5) In the same menu, navigate to the line that reads - package_verifier_enable (line 86 for me) and change the value from 1 to 0 and save.
Last - Reboot your device and enjoy installing apks from your external/internal storage cards, xposed app, etc., without access to the Security settings option.
Please do not make any other changes because you can possibly harm your device.
These 2 simple edits will stop the current FC's we experience when trying to install and app without using the play store and disable the annoying pop-up thak asks if you want google to check for harmful blah, blah, blah. Will work even if you've pressed OK already, which I did my mistake.
Again feel free to post links to assist other Users. I Hope this helps everyone with old (4.3) bootloaders who cannot access these setting.

I am posting this info using my XDA app. I also did this without the need of a PC. Please do not ask for links. Everything I used can be found on this web site, play store or google, except for the kernel. I'll try to be specific. Feel free to add links if you want to help other Users.
My Phone/ROM info:
Confimed working on an US AT&T SGH-I337 S4. I believe this will work on all S4 models. I currently am running Echo Rom v14 (NA5), with old bootloader and wifi working kernel (had to flash the loki doki.zip as well, which can be found all over the AT&T S4 thread).
Links of this kernel have sadly been removed.
I also use the AT&T MK2 modem - I intitially got 4G speed/icon.
I had to preform a few adjustments to the build prop and created a new PTA apn to achieve a stronger LTE connection.
I flahed the Att CSC fix zip (Can be found on the Virgin Rom thread in the OP.) as well.
Tools needed for this permission edit:
SQLite Editor or similar app.
I used SQLite Editor v2.0.1
Solution:
1) Using SQLite editor (in the apps menu) I scrolled down to the Settings Storage app and selected it/pressed it.
2) On the next screen I selected/pressed on the settings.db option.
3) Find the line that reads - install_non_market apps (line 19 for me) and press on it/select it. Then select the edit option (pencil icon top of the screen).
4) Change the value from 0 to 1 and save.
5) In the same menu, navigate to the line that reads - package_verifier_enable (line 86 for me) and change the value from 1 to 0 and save.
Last - Reboot your device and enjoy installing apks from your external/internal storage cards, xposed app, etc., without access to the Security settings option.
Please do not make any other changes because you can possibly harm your device.
These 2 simple edits will stop the current FC's we experience when trying to install and app without using the play store and disable the annoying pop-up thak asks if you want google to check for harmful blah, blah, blah. Will work even if you've pressed OK already, which I did my mistake.
Again feel free to post links to assist other Users. I Hope this helps everyone with old (4.3) bootloaders who cannot access these setting.

Great find. I had already changed build prop to att and did a dirty flash to get most of my app installed but this will allow those that didn't to work. It makes the Echoe a truly workable Rom for ATT users and a DD candidate. I agree with Friedrich420 this is what the forums are about,
Edit: Tried this and still have a problem with downloading some apps. Get a pop up "can't store internal storage or sd card"
Hmm. Just tried "sqlite editor pro free" and when I got to settings.db to open it, it gives me "an error occurred while opening the database". Rebooted to make sure everything was settled, but still no luck. Went to buy the $2.99 version of sqlite editor, but it couldn't install onto either my sd card or internal memory. Might be the rom, but this leads to the whole point of needing the work around. Maybe a lost cause.

I had fc too. But that's because it needs root access the request didn't appear straight away. After restarted su request finally popped up then it worked.

In build.pro change false for true in the line: "ro.securestorage.support=false" and in the platform.xml in system/etc/permisions look for:
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
and add:
<group gid="media_rw" />

Great work! Eagerly awaiting a zip to flash that will allow Echoe to work flawlessly on I337. GE works great but currently has no real competition and for some reason the Galaxy Gear weather will not work with it so looking to get Echoe working.

Just thinking this could be posted in AT&T like GE rom where you have a zip that changes the 4g icon, build prop and security setting in 1 zip to make it AT&T. What WIFI issues? do they exist on MLD bb?

You don't need dialer to enter hidden menu anymore.
But you will need a rooted device.

-rw r-- r--
[644]

Not working on a stock rooted ls980 either might try and make it a system app and see if that changes anything

Since I haven't seen a reply. I will put it in priv-app and see if that fixes anything. I'll let you know real soon. I like the idea of the tabs or no tabs.
I'm a Sprint CDMA LS980.
didn't work.. the launcher was there but no easy settings.
This is a launcher.. so there is still needed the easy setting apk.
I'm going to move a copy of the apk over and see if it works.
Of course they are odex files for cloudyg3-1.3.
Nope still fails on us. in priv-app. installed moved to system app. No go.

I'd love to work with you on this and maybe even get the g3 weather smart card working on g2.

Here are the files zipped up. These are from OptimusR G3 from my phone on sprint LS980.
My regular ZVD, Kit kit g2 doesn't have LG Easy Settings.
Hi,
Sorry, i couldn´t make it as installable app. Now it is only deodexed and visible in launchers.
1. Download attachment
2. Put it to internal storage of your device
3. Copy to system/app directory
4. Set right permissions (rw- r-- r--)
5. Reboot your device
Thit is maximum that my knowledge allowes me to do. Sorry i cant help you more guys.
I've tried and tried to deodex the g3 apps, but keep getting errors. I'll try it out in a minute.
Edit. 2:20pm CST USA
It shows in launcher but doesn't run. Reboot and the same. Crashes.
Do you think it might need a library?

Maybe, i dont know. But this one is from G3 ported rom and there are some differences in layout code. Tomorrow ill try make one from stock G2 rom (from V20F).

I am sorry to say it still does not work with our system. I don't get why it wont let tabbed settings. Easy settings may have something to do with the Framework-res.apk and LGE-res.apk
As it requires those. Something in the main necessity files has something in them that the system needs.
You can't imagine how thankfull i am for this!
It works for me on D855 v10h.

I don't understand. I have instaled both apks and they are the same. Sorry for noob question but what is this for?

@renzo090513 if you use 3rd party launcher then you can directly launch settings only in list view. You always need a next two taps on 3 dots in action bar of the settings if you want to change view to card view.
Easy settings (card view) app is "hidden". Icon of this app doesn't show up in launcher. With this little app you can launch card view of the settings directly from any 3rd party launcher.
