Hi everybody.
Here is thefix for Lag in Settings
Tested by Me (SGP312)
FEATURES
Hardware aceleration Enable by Default
You do not need to Force GPU rendering in Developer Options or Via Build.Prop
Proper for WiFi Models (SGP311/312)
Modded service.jar to get the fix working MUST
REQUERIMENTS
Stock 4.4.2 ROM SGP311/312 Rooted
DEODEXED ROM. MUST
Use THIS or THIS (Recommended. No bugs related with Sound options - SForce, xLoud etc-. Download ONLY the Google Drive File)
DOWNLOAD
Use the attached files from OP.
If you downloaded the previous file, Replace it, and use the newest one.
HOW TO
Move Settings.apk to system/priv-app
Move service.jar to system/framework
Both with RW-R--R-- Permissions
Reboot
Done!

Yes, but from the Deodexed one made by you. You missed to enable the HW aceleration.
But I have a question. Is the signature check disabled in SGP311/312 deodexed zip?
Bit OT.
In TZ2 you can disable the sound of Bootanimation. I have added this to settings but Its not working. Would you like to check it?

The Settings.apk is the one for TZ (modded with the Bootanimation Sound CheckBox), the SettingsZ2N(ew) is the latest of TZ2 (Odexed but Does not work).
Also I have and older version of Settings from TZ2. About this one (Download from here). Its odexed but it works (Even Its smooth ) ,
But what does not work?:
* Advance Sound options (xLoud, SForce etc).Its not available because there is a SubMenu in Sound Settings (In TZ we have shortcuts)
* T2W option, (It dissapeared but its enable by default)
* Power Management, (STAMINA etc) FC
* Bootanimation Sound (There is the option but Its not working)
I tried to put the Bootanimation from TZ2 but the result is the same
Too many downloads and nobody says anything nor hit thanks button neither
Stupid question: what is the difference to simply enabling 2D hardware acceleration?
Does this fix apply that only to settings?
So far forced 2D gpu acceleration showed no downsides.
Are there differences with battery life?
So far the settings apk (even the fixed one wont show up on my 311.
Got deodexed rom but now without any settings.
I flashed the deodexed Version of 4.4.2 and Service.jar + settings.apk. It is fast and without any lags or Bugs

1. Yes, the fix is only for Settings.
2. Some apps may lag with GPU acceleration forced and may affect a bit the battery life
3. Did you put the services.jar in system/framework?

Just out of curiosity, what would happen if I were to use these files on an odexed 4.4.2 rom (stock)?

Settings will disappear from app drawer. it won't work. Please try this. (I am not responsible of any software brick. So, do a backup of Original settings.apk and odex file, even a backup with the recovery)
1. Root your tablet
2. Install Xposed Framework. Then, install the Xperia Xposed module by Serajr
3. Enable the Superuser mod. Reboot
4. Delete Settings.apk
5. Put only Settings from this post. Reboot
If it's not working, delete settings.odex. Otherwise, it's not possible
And tell us what happened
Edit. Give me please your Settings.apk and odex.

Hello, I have Sony Xperia C. After rooting it to uninstall app that I didnt need, I unknowingly uninstalled Live Wallpaper Picker. Even after installing the apk file, I get an error that unfortunately Live Wallpaper Picker has stopped. Maybe its to do with the fact that my android version is 4.2.2, and the apk file is 4.0.4. Even after installing the compatible version, the app doesnt install at all. Please help
You may need to restore your stock firmware to fix it now... If you decide to go that route, Here's a guide on that,

STEP 1 ) Root your device. (visit THIS)
STEP 2 ) Download Attached Files
STEP 3 ) Install RootExplorer on your device and copy attached file in system>>app with permissions as "rw--r--r--" and restart your phone.
Also delete the "Live Wallpapers.odex" and "LiveWallpapersPicker.odex" files before doing this.
Delete preexisting files with same name (if there are)
Great! This worked like a charm, thank you so much. I have rooted my phone to uninstall a few preinstalled apps. Each tie I start a new app I get a notification of root access granted. How can I stop that because its annoying and honestly worrying as if I have messed up something. Can you tell me what are the benefits of a rooted phone and its disadvantages? Plus how can I unroot it and will it be as if it was never rooted? Thank you so much

You will get the option on unrooting your device in the same app "Framaroot"
Advantages :
You can control your system as you want
You can do anything with your stock apps, themes, wallpapers, tones etc.,
You can now install a Custom ROM also,
etc. So many Advantages
Disadvantages :
You warranty in gone
Try THIS ROM by me. it's good It will transform your device's interface into Android 4.4.4 KitKat Interface.
Don's say just click the Thanks Button.
Thats great, thanks. Can I also update my android to kitkat?

Upgrading Actual OS to KitKat is not possible because there is no official update available and also we cannot flash custom kernel due to locked bootloader of Xperia C. We can only upgrade our User Interface to KitKat. I am also making an Android 5.0.1 Custom ROM for Xperia C and it will be uploaded on XDA this month only.
Thanks. Is it normal that after rooting, some apps such as clean master show notification of root access denied sometimes?
walkman doesnt recognize music after handset is at standby
Hi again. I have sony xperia c and I think after rooting it I have created a problem. The walkman app which is in-built doesnt detect music when the handset is used after standby. I keep rebooting but after a few minutes its the same. I have tried media scanner, clearing data in walkman and media storage but its the same. Please help. Did I destroy my phone?:crying:
Help please, my walkman app stops detecting music. Is it possible that these glitches are occurring due to the live wallpaper picker app I installed? Just a crazy thought :crying:

You can find the Album App attached below. Place this in your system>>app folder using Root Explorer and give the permission as "RW-R--R--" and reboot your phone.
Ok, do i need to install the app after placing there or just simply place the file there?
Ok, its still not working, when i want to set a picture as wallpaper it doesnt show the cropping mode, neither does it set the lock screen
Also i just uniinstalled the quickpic app, so that setting wallpaper finds its first preference in album, but when i did try it said that com.sonyericsson.album has stopped, and it says the album has stopped.

iSiddharth, I really love your works. I have also flashed the lollipop rom.
I followed the instuctions, but I didn't get good result. When deleting the same name apks, I also deleted android live wallpapers by a mistake. And the other point which I can't get is that where are those .odex files to delete? I didn't find Live Wallpapers.odex nor LiveWallpapersPicker.odex . Maybe because of these I didn't get successful result, but can you please help?

If the system ui is deleted it should boot black background but it should boot... in anycase you made a nandroid backup before editing system files right?

Worked for me!! True guide for tab 4 7.0 wifi:
1. Download the tab s system ui that is on this thread.
2. Download app settings from xposed installer if you dont have it already and activate it.
3. In app settings, scroll down until you locate system ui.
4. Change DPI to 205 and change screen (dp) to 1280x800.
5. Reboot to twrp. MAKE A BACKUP IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG.
6. Go to twrp/aroma file manager and locate the downloaded system ui.
7. Select "Copy". Then go to /system/priv-app and paste it.
8. It prompts you to overwrite the existing system ui. Press " Overwrite".
9. After that is done reboot. You should now have a working tab s system ui!!

That's surely the right way!
If you change directly SystemUi.apk with a root explorer, your device becomes instantly unusable, you can't even change permissions.
At least, it's my experience with other devices.

Yup. Usually modifying critical files on the /system partition is best in the twrp recovery file manager to avoid crashes and malfunctions and all that other craZy stuff.
Hey Guys,
i got a little Problem with "Samsung Apps" on my Galaxy s6 (Stock Rom Android 5.0.2).
I rooted it, and thougt i should delete some of the System Apps. I also removed "Samsung Apps" thinking i won't need it.
After i wanted to download some Camera features i got the error : "com.sec.android.app.samsungapps is disabled", but i can't enable it ( yeah, maybe beacause its gone)
So i tried reinstalling it, using the Apk from this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/themes-apps/hot-galaxy-s6-apps-t3041330
not functioning "Can't install the App"
also i tried getting the apk from the Stock "app" folder or "priv app" of the system dump, and copying the folders on my S6 device (to the same path)
http://zidroid.com/download-samsung-galaxy-s6-g920fxxu1aobn-system-dump/
still not able to reinstall. Reboot didn't change anything.
So last but not least, a factory reset didn't work either.
It has cleared everything and set the device to default settings etc, but "samsung Apps" is still not listed anywhere.
The question: does anyone have a clue how to reinstall it ? or do i have to download the Stock Image and flash it ?
Thanks for your time

I think the proper section for this would be the Q&A forum. Anyway, if you copy the app make sure to set the right permissions. In any case, if you flash a stock image over the one you have now, the problem should be solved. If it's not solved, a factory reset after that should fix it.

Ok thanks for the hint with the permissions.
I used der folder /system/priv-app/
and copied the Galaxy_Apps_3xh_zero.apk to my S6 path.
installing still wasn't working after setting the permissions ro rw-r-r- (like the other working apps)
i'm not sure, but i think it's something like an autostart path, so rebooting the phone after these steps, fixed my problem.

substratum doesn't supported by lenovo p2 stock rom.
So use it at your own risks.!!
Reflash stock rom if you facing problems this is only way to get rid of installed theme.

Yes ! themes are working but use at your own risk.. It can brick your device. Bcz stock roms doesn't support OMS. And will modify system stock files. And if anything goes wrong your device might brick/stuck at boot logo.
Sorry for bad English.:good:

The best thing to do is to keep a twrp dackup. If anything goes wrong, install stock deodexed ROM and restore back up.
I did had a few issues at first. But the phone will definately not get hard bricked.
If you know to use substratum properly, then you'll find 2 flashable zips inside the substratum folder. One of which can be used to restore the theme to factory settings
Only apps that will work is Playstore, Android Message App if you want a dark messaging background, Whatsapp, and Youtube. Everything else, no cause it is not Stock Android Apps; including settings. I used Swift Black Theme. Any other app can possibly work if it's on the list to theme it over.. If it doesn't, it' will say so or if the app fc.. Just go to the Overlay List and erase the App that is not working properly. Once your done, reboot and it will take effect.

True, usually that is used if you are doing OTA and the System UI crashes. It does help to get out of that situation when flashing the Substratum Recovery.

Loneelutes most substrate overlays will work. But notification text may get blacked out some time. Pitch black theme would do better in all aspects. All of its overlays worked for me.
I too had pretty bad experiences on stock ROM with substratum..
I use swift black (paid) in custom roms ..but on stock ROM ,I can't even update theme ..
Once if theme gets applied ,we can't change ..
System refuses to change .. and gives me bootloops..
So ..I just apply themes only to Apps but not system files ..
Even though some apps FC when they are updated from playstore , they can be troubleshooted easily ..
Warning : don't change system ui , pixel launcher ..
Things I change :
1) WhatsApp
2) navbar
I don't open others much ..so I don't care about them to be themed ..

Havent had issues with Swift Black..... So just test them, if it doesn't work.. Just go to the overlay list, erase and reboot. It's all about trial and error. Subtratum theme works on whatever app is listed for each theme.. When updating, you have to apply and reboot.. If that doesn't work.. Erase the apps that is themed in the overlay list and then reboot.. Apply the theme as if you are dling it for the first time and reboot again.
It's a bit tedious but that's Lenovo Stock for you. You can try Youtube and Google Playstore too.. And if you want messaging to have a black theme too.. Try Android Messaging app, Swift Black works on that app.

What's Android version should I pick when I apply the theme??
depends iff you are on a custom rom then its oms and iff on stock rom then experimental although the themeing isnt as good as oms it is still acceptable and does theme most apps.
