S5 toggles on S3 using build.prop

Hey guys. Recently updated my US verizon s3 to kitkat ((NE1). Just rooted it successfully using towelroot. I found a site that showed how to modify two lines of the build.prop to get the S5 toggles on my S3. Changed to (ro.product.name=SM-N900S) and (ro.product.device=SM-N900S) and it did work. I attached a pic. I did notice that my 4G icon doesn't say LTE anymore. My question is, I know the S5 name is kltevzw and I'm wondering if I replace the sm-n900s with that if I'd get the same icon and toggles. I'm hesitant because I'm not sure if I'll get stuck on boot or something.
Has anyone tried this?
btw, modifying the build.prop is dangerous. It worked on my phone, but that doesn't mean it works on yours. If your phone gets messed up, its not my fault.
Thanks.

It works on my GSIII but I like the bigger toggles better. It's an age and eye thing .... lol

I wonder why that works. I don't know much about programming or build.prop mods, but does that mean that the code is built into the system? It just seems silly that two lines displaying product number changes the phone so much haha

Samsung often leaves dormant code in their software. They have often left some Note II dormant hooks of different kinds through some updates on our S3.

BTW, changing the build number to kltevzw did still give me the new toggles and recent tasks. It also brought the 4G LTE icon back. Love it!

can you please be a little more specific about what exactly you changed to 'kltevzw'?

build.prop settings (ro.product.name=kltevzw) and (ro.product.device=kltevzw)
Even the boot animation was a lil different! thanks for the mod
I did notice, the 4G icon doesn't go away when connected to wifi, clogging up the status bar when center clock is enabled.

That's because the S5 has the ability to connect to WiFi and 4G at the same time utilizing both at a faster speed. In most cases the carriers disabled that feature

It is usually caused by the Caller ID app. Debloat canid.apk and 4G icon should turn off when on WiFi.

I don't see a canid.apk. I see a Caller Name Id, but even gone, I still get a 4g icon on with wifi.

Won't be in app drawer. Have to remove from system/app. It is in all S3 stock roms including NE1.

Best free one out there is either es file Explorer or jrummys root browser free. With the 2nd one he has a thread on xda where you add something to the system folder and it makes it add free, just throwing it out there

Thanks it worked great I love the s5 toggles I wonder what else can be used by editing the build prop to get s5 features

Question

Is there a way to add all apps to the multiwindow without root since there is no way to root the At&t edge yet.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N915A using XDA Free mobile app

Put them in folders?
Sent from my Samsung Note Edge using Tapatalk

Not folders. Put whatever apps I want in the multiwindow feature. Stick only allows certain apps. I have an app that will put them all in but it needs root. As of now, there isn't a way to root the At&t edge.

Oh I put them in folders, and I can get more. I separated the folders for what the apps do. I think it would be extremely long to put every app in the edge panel

You don't understand what he is asking.
He is asking about split screen. Where you have to programs running at the same time.
But yea the answer is no. If it's not on the Samsung list it won't work. Same thing happen with the note 3.
A tip tho if you press the recent app key. It will show you which apps can be multi window. There will be an icon that looks like an 8 on the right side of that app window.

Ok thanks for clarifying that for me.

mobile data not available while you're on this call

I started getting this pop up message on my VZW Note 5
mobile data not available while you're on this call. It happens when I am working with a webpage or app and a phone call comes in.
Anyone have this come up and figure out how to stop it?

You can only have data and voice at the same time if you are using advanced calling. If not, data switches off when on voice.

Great, I cannot turn advanced calling on...... This didnt start happening until recently.

Try signing up for it in your control panel on the website under "my services." It might be switched off from there. After doing so you should be able to switch it back on on your phone.

Yes, for the newer phones like the note 5, they do not have dual radio's. Meaning can not surf the web while on a phone call unless;
You have 4G LTE signal and you have advanced calling setup in your "my services" and in settings of the note 5.
You will not be able to surf the web and be on the phone if you have 3G, unless you are on wifi This is a little annoying because on the note 3, you can surf the web and use data all you want. We didn't have to have advanced calling 1.0 crap to use it and even on 3g we can still use it without wifi. But hey, price we pay for to use the latest and greatest on Verizon.

Yup, that's Verizon for you. Always finding a way to screw you into paying more money one way or the other, and make you like it too.
Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

I'm pretty positive that isn't Verizon's fault... Negotiated contacts explicitly offer things as options (and in many cases they are $0 no cost options) so the business or government can decide what they want in it.

Makes sense now that you pointed it out. Although I can't figure out why they would deny it. Unless it poses any security threats I am unaware of.

Two thoughts...
It makes it harder for the NSA to snoop... It wouldn't surprise me if it was discouraged on government contracts.
Or their agreement was in place before advanced calling was available and they haven't updated their contact to add it yet (governments move slowly).

Is there any chance we can get Smart Manager back?

The Smart Manager app is really helpful and original by Samsung. Why would the stupid Verizon remove it? It's damn stupid, foolish and selfish of Verizon. Fortunately I can always use the Greenify app,though.

I'm sure you could download the apk as long as its on another note 5 version.
Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

I think the app is actually installed in our system. Looking in priv-app the is a SmartManager-Provider apk, but there is a good chance that there is a csc line that is not allowing the app to load.

Not that I have found yet. To edit the csc file we need root, I did find another thread that had the smart manager apk and tried to install it but I would not. It needs to be a system apk.

Unfortunately from what I have seen is Verizon and AT&T decided against it because they want their apps instead..... Like the data control Verizon wants you to use family base... Which works well granted but also is an added feature on the account

I found a semi solution, let me know if it works for you...
Download es file explorer, then download the task manager add on. - Has an option to quickly clear ram with a touch of a button.
Next option and closer to System manager...I recommend this one..
Download all in one gestures set either your app or back key with long press and select kill app.
Once set, go back to home screen, long press whatever button you setup, you should see a ram manager popup and hit boost.

Thanks for your reply. Actually ram is not a problem here. Note 5 has 4G ram after all. I'm using Greenify's unroot mode and everything has been working fine for me so far.

Thanks for the relevant information. By the way, I'm really curious about how Verizon is gonna deal with Andriod 6.0's strict authority management.

They have to accept it. Google runs most phones we sell. ? I personally can't wait

Advance Messaging on T-Mobile/MetroPCS GS7 Problem

I have the MetroPCS GS7 but I have the latest T-Mobile firmware installed, since before I even had the T-Mobile firmware I haven't even got advance messaging, it works on my note 4, note 5 and s6 but not the s7, I have the correct apn settings and it saids that I have the feature but it does not work at all I can't see the typing indicator so when the other person is typing I should be able to see it. Video calling works everything works but that !!! Anyone having the same issue ??? I love advance messaging I can't stand not having it.

Can't even get mine to video call
Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

"Share typing indications" is the advanced messaging on the s7. I believe it only works with other s7 phones. You can see when they are delivered, read, and when the other person is typing.

It also works on the S6 Series phones. So as long as each person in the conversation has advanced messaging on their device, you will see the features work. And no, it doesn't work across platforms... Samsung devices messaging an iPhone user will not work.

I can see when my sister is typing from her LG g4

On my note 4, note 5 and my s6 I could see any phone except Iphones including the K7 from Metro and Tmobile, the Grand Prime the only one that does not work is the s7, the phone just has to have advanced messaging and has to be from tmobile or MetroPCS
