Enable developer options in settings and under "Drawing" set anything with the word "Animation" to Off. This will disable screen transitions until enabled again. Don't forget to restart the device for the changes to take effect, and leave developer options enabled or the transitions will return by default after the next restart.

Thanks but that's not what I m looking. I was looking for disable only the launcher animations...

Hmmm, wasn't aware you could just do that. Perhaps you could try a third party launcher? Or, you may get some joy with a custom ROM, but as I'm 100% stock I wouldn't know, sorry.

Ink Effect

Hello!
I have seen a nice Ink Effect on Youtube. It is from the Samsung NoteII.
Is it possible to convert this nice feature to our Samsung S4?
Here is the Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdQ7aCzG9zk

it gives a hidden menu on S4 which u can find over a Shortcut app from the Market. In this hidden Menu u can choose the color of the effect, but it doesent work, i tried it few times.
It could be possible that u need a pen for this for working, but im not sure. Can some one test it with a pen for the S4?
When some needs help to find the hidden menu, let me know i will post it than later, now its too late and i must sleep.

S4 doesn't have a sensor for the pen, so if it works, it works without pen

seems to be a little bit tricky which this guide and im not so safe in editing such files from may S4.
I think there must be an easy way to get, cause the color menu exist on the phone just hidden, so i think it would be only needet to unlock the mode for color like in on part of the guide.
Would be awesome when some could create something flashable.
btw., here the way to the hidden menu:
get QuickShortCutMaker from google play than Search under Settings for this :
com.android.settings/com.android.settings.InkeffectPreview
it give it twice one for smartphone one for tablet in window mode. Hope someone can work with it.

Tonight around 7 o'clock I will post the "ink effect on tw lockscreen mod" in my thread!
Lockscreen will also contain 7 apps shortcut possibility and the mod also includes the Miui Battery Bar, all controlled from settings.
You need to be rooted en deodexed though, to make use of the mods.
So if you want it, come and get it around 7...

cyanogenmod smart cover settings

So cyanogenmod has finally added support for smart covers, and I have flip cover (without "smart hole" xD) for long time now, but it wasn't working, as there wasn't (up 'till now) support for that magnetic switch, that enables/disables display. Now I can activate my display with smartcover opening, but it doesn't deactivate on close, and I would like to change if I will or won't see my lockscreen (where I have time, notifications, camera shortcut and so on... ).
When I was on touchwiz android (you know, first two days of pain xD ), there were settings for that:
- enable/disable flip cover functionality
- enable/disable lockscreen on flip
- disable display on closed flip
*or something similar
I don't see anything of sorts in cyanogenmod settings - where can I find those things (if I can), or can they be configured through some files (like dpi for instance), or is there an app that can manage that configuration, or is it something on "todo" list (is there a todo list for cyanogenmod?)... any response is appreciated, as current state is actually worse than nonworking flip, as if it opens "in pocket" for a second, screen will stay activated...
PS: google can only find that cyanogenmod added smart cover support - multiple articles are just reprinting changelog and that's it
PPS: note 3 hlte, 17.9. nightly cyanogenmod
anyone?
So, it is fixed now. Opening enables display and closing disables it.
That being said, I would still like to have some options related to it (enabling it altogether, enable/disable lockscreen skip and so on).

DPI Configuration

Hey! Someone knows how to setup my screen to looks like more big with small Icons, What DPI amount I should change to enjoy my screen? Thanks in advance. BTW I'm using XPERIA Z5 Style Rom on LB.
Enviado desde mi XPERIA M2 mediante Tapatalk
I suggest to set dpi on 200 but you have to try and pick each you want.
And how to change it ? It pretty simple just download from Google Play, Terminal Emulator and type:
Code:
su
wm density [value] (ex. wm density 200)
Also I add to default dpi is 240 just for know.

Or you can just use an app (DPI Changer, Textdroid, but if use downsize it to =/= 160, 240, etc(xdpi,etc) the launcher may look wierd, and u have to use App Settings to fix this.

How do I change grid view to list view for apps?

Hello everyone,
since Saturday I got a new Xperia Z5 after using my beloved Galaxy S2 for 4 (or 5?) years.
Honestly, I didn't want a new phone, but it was just too slow and finally didn't function any more.
So now I am personalizing my new Phone, but am really disturbed by the app menu.
Apps on different pages, where I have to scroll and look for an app? What is this? 2010?
I am so used to the list view on TouchWiz and Cyanogenmod.
How do I get that onto my Xperia Z5 Phone?
Here are some screenshots for clarification. (sorry I can't post links yet)
I have this: googledrive.com/host/0B71qahVEwjt5X1RPY2pSVmdPWmc/gridview
(currently using Google Now Launcher, which is at least closer to what I want)
I want this: androidbeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/CM13-app-drawer.png
Or what would even be better, but I guess not possible, this: cdn.cultofandroid.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/applistview.jpg
I hope you know what I mean and can help me.
BR,
Rastla
quite easy to do with another launcher. You can do it with nova launcher how you want it.
And wth!? Nothing easier than a Sony ui menu. Almost complete stock Android. You should even have a quick search bar on top, you can move your apps in the app draw where you want them to be etc.
It's all a little more overviewed compared to Samsung, that's one reason I love sony's ui so much

stock sony ui doesn't have a search bar at top (only the google now launcher).
its just that old grid view i know from early android days. i would even go so far, to compare it to windows 98.
it's impractical and definitively not good overviewed imho.
what can be more practical than a simple A-Z list?

I settled for the Google Now Launcher and the alphabetical icons since it's not too different from the stock launcher and has no ads

Ruthless Launcher

I am not the developer of this app but I just wanted to create a post here and share it with other z fold 2 owners.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=shubh.ruthless
This by far best launcher for z fold 2 if u want pixel launcher and scalable rows/columns. I included some pictures of launcher, check it out if you on z fold and miss pixel.
Thanks for the recommendation. I keep things rather simple and this has made it relatively painless.

No problem man. The developer for this App is awesome guy. I had some recommendations for app and z fold such as scaling lower incremental percentage and he's already adding into app. He's also looking into android r/11 launcher3 so may make fold experience better soon too.

How did you install Nexa icons package? I can't find a way to install it within the system settings. Please let me know. :crying:
I want to install the icons without a third-party launcher. Is this even possible? I did this in the past with my Oneplus phone.

If you have images of the icons you can use the app Awesome Icons to change them. I changed a lot of them without any launcher.

Does this support a different configuration for cover and main screen?
It is possible in the next update to make these 3 additions:
1) To be able to edit / delete app categories.
2) On the At Glance Widget, in addition to the date, you can also view the time and maybe even the next alarm.
3) To be able to set the app drawer horizontally to be able to move in the app pages from left to right and vice versa as well as from top to bottom.
