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
Greetings Hollux

Its already in 9505

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.

Keep an eye on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2344385
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...

[MOD][Xposed] Screen Tweaks

Hello fellow Xperia Z1c users,
I just wanted to let you know that I made a module for the Xposed framework where you can change the following things:
Enable the CRT screen off animation.
Prevent the screen from turning on if device is connected to or disconnected from charger or dock.
Hide the "Swipe to unlock" text from the lock screen.
Hide the camera icon on the lock screen
Hide the carrier label on the lock screen of some Xperia devices
Hide the sparkles effect on the lock screen of some Xperia devices
The module thread is here, the repository page is here.
Give it a try and let me know what you think (you need to be rooted to install the framework).
I suppose it would work on other Xperia devices also, maybe I should post this in the cross device development forum?

Works on xperia Z1

thank you for this and it work on 761.:good:

Great mod, nothing superfluous!
If I were to request an addition, it would be the option to disable carrier text on lock-screen.

great work!
Big thx

System UI Tuner?

Has anyone had any luck getting this turned on? I've been hunting and none of the suggested methods have worked so far.

It's not enabled by HTC

Bummer! Ah well. Still seriously loving this phone even so.

Once we have root I believe simple build.prop edit cAn enable it

Are you serious? We need this...

Why HTC dont let US personalize system ui tuner ?

I find the fingerprint button in quick access rather useless, is it possible to remove it even without system tuner enabled?

HTC has removed this feature for the A9. The M8 and M9 do have it. Sorry to bear the bad news

You are right HTCs do not have the System UI Tuner. What I mentioned earlier was in reference only to the Quick Settings editor. So no options for Status Bar Icons, Demo Mode
Battery Percentage can be displayed from settings/ power / show battery level
On M8 and M9----- Customizing Quick Settings
You can remove, replace, or rearrange the tiles in Quick Settings.
With two fingers, swipe down from the top of the screen to open Quick Settings.
Tap the pencil and pad icon at the top and do one of the following:
In the Quick Settings list, press and hold the three line icon next to the item you want to move and drag it to rearrange the list.
Under Hidden items, press and hold the three line icon and drag it up to make it available in Quick Settings.
Note: There is a limit to the number of tiles that can be shown in Quick Settings. You may need to remove an existing item to make space for another one. To remove an item, drag it below Hidden items.

Possible.....that on HTC A9 its unavailable???:crying::crying::crying::crying:

To enable tuner:
Code:
adb shell su -c pm enable com.android.systemui/.tuner.TunerActivity
Eventually, it'll then show up in your settings. But it takes time for some reason. To launch it before it shows up:
Code:
adb shell am start com.android.systemui/.tuner.TunerActivity
Unfortunately, currently it crashes when you try to add a new quick settings tile. But you can at least subtract tiles and edit the statusbar icons.
You need root.

I also made a simple app to do this automatically. And it provides a way around the new tile crash. See this thread.

i don't know if this has already been figured out elsewhere, but i just found that with an activity launcher app you can navigate to "system ui" and select "demo mode". that will open up the system ui tuner. i am rooted, but i don't believe root is required to find it. the activity launcher app itself does not require root.

hello, i have instal lineage 14.1 on my htc one a9 hiaeuhl en it is working perfect only 1 thing is missing now.
There is no kernel fm driver in lineage 14.1.
Spirit2 also gives the same error, no working kernel fm radio driver.
The fm radio was working fine on stock rom.
Sorry for my bad English.
I am Dutch

Is there a way to make the statusbar black for all apps?

I really don't like the inconsistency between apps with and without tint or flat style colors. I'd prefer an all black look. Any way to do this?
Gesendet von meinem SM-G955F mit Tapatalk

maybe root and use some xposed module?
there is a long way without root.
- use a apk Cloner like app cloner
- it allows you to create a copy of 99% of apps, and allows a few hacks like what colour the status bar should be., custom app icon, mute on start, password lock the app, etc..
install thec clone and uninstall the original app.
- repeat for all apps and try not to update as often... horrible but achievable.

Navbar Apps may do the job. I think you can set it to globally make the Nav Bar whatever color you want, or let it choose based on the color scheme of the app that is open.

Does an animated Pixel 2 navbar theme exist yet?

I have the Pixel 2-style navbar installed via Zipalign Cypher's Navbar theme, but the home button lacks the animation found on Pixel devices.
Phone is a rooted Oneplus 5T, any help would be greatly appreciated.

N Navbar Pro via substratum does this.

There's an option on top of the item selection you have to change to "enable animation" or something to that effect. It's not the default. At any rate I'm currently using the mini dark ones with the swirly color dot animation when you hold home so I know it works for me at least.

What about a single tap like the standard pixel one?

Single tap home does the four dots for a split second. Back or multi-task does nothing. Single tap home does the four dots for a split second. Back or multi-task does nothing animation wise.

Sorry for the noob question, but I'm hoping you can help me out. I have the same setup, a rooted OnePlus 5t. I am running 8.0 - I can't seem to get any of Navbar apps' overlays to work. They compile, but the changes aren't seen. I know Substraum is working because I'm running Coalfield without any problems. Would you mind sharing how you got the navbar themes to work at all? I have Varefaz's Navbar Pro, Rohit Chouhan's Navigate, and also have Zipalign Cypher's Navbars but can't seem to get any of them work.

I think you might need to give Substratum permission to draw over other apps if you haven't already

Are you hitting build and enable, which should cause system.ui to refresh?

Yes. Hitting build & enable and the system ui refreshes. Within the Manager menu, the overlays are colored green, indicating they are active. I don't think anything is conflicting with this; The only apps I have effecting the navbar are Navbar Apps and Navbar Animations, neither of which have root permissions. But as a troubleshooting step, I disabled them but still no luck

No root permission? You need to give root permission if you don't want to enable Substratum through ADB

Now running latest Omni Rom (stock-based 8.1) and substratum isn't working at all. Any troubleshooting tips I can look at to get themes working again?

You're just not hiding the animation on a rom that already has the animation.
It says in N Navbar Pro's Play Store description that it can't enable the animation on a rom that doesn't have the animation already.

Ha! Well alrighty then.
To solve the problem, however, I've used an Xposed module called Pixel Navigation Bar, which also offers a few more features like showing your current battery level as a portion of the ring around the home button.
Has some issues but, overall, does the job.
