[GUIDE] [MOD]Galaxy Note II Style Messaging App.

This is my 1st real guide, so bear with me!
I am not liable if you damage your phone in anyway! if you have any doubts, don't do it!!
I confirm this is working great on my Sprint S4, so ill give yall a step by step of how I did it.
Now of course you can get this by flashing Free Gs4 rom, but if you don't like that rom, or just like a different rom, but still want that split view toggle effect then this is for you! Im using it on Force Rom, so I am only going to recommend using this method on TW based roms. and only for sprint, it may crash if used for other carriers.
1.Download FreeGs4 Rom.
https://www.copy.com/s/W602hFj2bLqR/FreeGS4-v2.0.0SPR-Clark44.zip
2. Download whatever TW rom you decide on. go ahead and flash it, root it first of course (you know the steps)
3. I recommend going ahead and downloading droid explorer. That will help out the process, just so your pc see's the apk's right.
http://de.codeplex.com/releases/view/107423
4. Open up the FreeGs4 rom, go to System/Apps/SecMms.apk, go ahead and drag SecMms.apk and put it on your desktop.
5. Plug your device in and make sure USB debugging on (I recommend having it on at all times).
6. From your Desktop go ahead and drag the SecMms.apk and put it on the root of your external sd card( you could use your internal if need be)
7. Go to Playstore and download Root Explorer, once in root explorer, find your /system/app/SecMms.apk
8. Rename your SecMms.apk. Rename it SecMms.apk.bak
9. Now go to where you placed the SecMms.apk from FreeGs4, and copy it.
10. Paste the FreeGs4 SecMms.apk into /System/Apps
11. Reboot and Enjoy! :laugh::laugh:
(you shouldn't have to change permissions on the FreeGs4 SecMms.apk, they should already be ready to go!
Please give me thanks, if this helped you out at all,
and reply if you have any questions.
I check back pretty frequently!

Heres a screen shot!

Why would someone download a whole ROM (1.5 GB) for just one apk. Just upload the secMms.apk from that ROM and it should work fine for all.

Have rotation turned on and rotate your phone then it will look like that! Might have to turn it on in the messaging settings somewhere, not sure.

How did you replace the Microphone [voice recognition] to the emojis? I always have to long press and then select the emoji keyboard.
from my Note Thrizzle

It just crashes. How to you install it without any issues?

I really want to use this but I cannot get it to work, anyone have any ideas?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

delete or backup both SamsungIME apk and odex and then copy modded apk and follow OP instruction...if done right upon power cycle it will say android is updating 1 of 1 app

I'm using it just fine on dynamic 4.0. Just followed the steps above. No issues.

[MOD][HOW TO] Enable 'hide application' option in SecLauncher4 NF4

Hi Guys.
it seems Samsung removed the option to hide applications in the app draw for the new NF4 Update.
I use this feature a lot so decided to bring it back.
its a really simple mod and shouldn't cause any problems.
ill assumed you know how to decompile etc.
OK Lets get started.
Decompile secLauncher4.apk
Navigate to SecLauncher4\smali\com\android\launcher2\Launcher.smali
Search for "sput-boolean v3, Lcom/android/launcher2/Launcher;->isSystemAppDisable:Z"
Change to "sput-boolean v2, Lcom/android/launcher2/Launcher;->isSystemAppDisable:Z"
done.
Recompile and push to phone.
feel fry to add this into your roms, but please give credit

Thanks for sharing mate.

a flashable zip could help for those who do not know how to decompile/recompile apks..
Sent from my SM-N9005 using xda premium

Tbh thats not really the point of the thread. The idea is people do it themselves. Plus they can redo it when newer versions are released rather than waiting on someone to do it for them

A flashable zip would work only on deodexed roms, and hence why I attached a non flashable modded one in my post.

It not supposed to be installed like a normal apk, you have to push it into system/priv-app and replace existing.

In odex roms you have 2 files
Something.apk
Somerhing.odex
If you put the modded seclauncher4.apk (deodexed) in a flashable zip, that would only replace the apk keeping the old odex file (which has to be deleted someway).
So since one has to go to system priv-app to delete the odex file, why not just replace the seclauncher4.apk too to get mod.
Unless you want to odex the file again after modding it and put both apk and odex in a flashable zip ).

Yeah i get that mate. If i was to make an odex version i would do it properly. But ill only be making a deodexed one and stating that its done for a deodexed seclauncher
Or add a line to updater script that will delete the odex file first

Ok, then just use my attached modded apk, make a flashablae zip out of it together with a script that deletes odex file ' if present'.

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.

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?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

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.

@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.
