Hotspot button on homescreen? - Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to add a hotspot button to my homescreen? On my S III I had a button that got to the homescreen that took me to my hotspot screen so I could quickly change settings and enable it. Is there a way to get this feature on the s5?

Just downloaded the app Anycut from the play store. Makes any shortcut you need.

looking for a widget to disable cellular data

is the any app that will add a button to the desk top that acts like the wifi button on the power widget? I want a quicker way to disable it than going through settings, or something that changes the apns.
Widgetsoid in the Market. Its free and basically a very customizable power control widget.

How to enable themes on the att lg g2

I share this gem with you courtesy of someone called Leftarmspinner.
TO ENABLE THEMES ON THE ATT LG G2.
1. Download and install Launcher Pro from Google Play (you don't need to set it as default launcher or anything) and Later you can uninstall. This enables the hidden settings menu, which most of us have done one way or another.
2. Add Activities widget to your LG Launcher home screen. Search for Home > com.lge.launcher2.hiddenmenu.LGHomeHiddenMenuActivity
3. Voilà now you have access to hidden settings from your Home screen. Look for the setting feature_use_theme and check it off.
4. You can now use themes!!!! How cool.

Nevermind I got it....
If you're having trouble enabling the setting, there is an easier way
Download the module G2 tweaks for xposed.
Go to misc tweaks
Enable hidden launcher settings.

Here it is

Go to the op
Here is another way
Anyway guys, I found a solution to acces to the hidden setting without installing Launcher Pro.
Just get "Any Shortcut" on the market (here (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oboenikui.anyshortcut)), then create a shortcut with these parameters :
*Application :* com.lge.launcher2
*Activity :* com.lge.launcher2.hiddenmenu.LGHomeHiddenMenuActivity (without a space between "Activ" and "ity" !)
*Action :* nothing
*Intent :* nothing
(See screenshot in attachment).
Then : create, your shortcut is done !
And you have access to the launcher hidden settings

Access Verizon hidden menu on our G4

Download launcherpro from playstore, add laucherpro activity widget, scroll down to home and select the one listed as hidden menu activity. Score!

So what does this get you?
In trouble if you don't remember what you change. It gives you acess to change settings such as turn on and off features of your phone.

Would love some screen shots of what is available to change and if it would be worth the time?
Here you go, not sure what a lot of these do but I'm sure someone here does.

This should be how you guys can turn on themes. This is the Lg Home hidden menu
Do you need pro version of launcher pro. Cause I don't see any activity widgets
Nope, it should be the 1×1 activity widget.
Sent from my VS986 using XDA Free mobile app
this menu has been in previous LG devices but is not the "main" hidden menu. you guys can't find any other hidden menu?
and you can use this app to find hidden activities without changing your launcher: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.szalkowski.activitylauncher&hl=en
just open app.. select "all activities" from the top drop down menu and poke around.
It works without changing your launcher. The widget is available in stock launcher. You can also access service menu with this app and yours.

I'm unable to find the menus on the activity launcher. It seems it's not as complete as launcher pro.

I did this, but what did you launch to get to this menu?
It's under home and then home hidden menu activity I believe. After you create the shortcut you can uninstall the launcher pro app. The shortcut will remain.

Did anyone else get this working? I followed OP and do not see hidden settings under home screen using activity launcher. See my screen shot above.
Nova launcher wont allow me to enter those. Says app not installed or something :/. I got in to the other secret menu but not the main one. Sadly the main hidden menu has bt stuff that I might be interrested. Any idea why this happens. Mine is european 815.

One of the options on this hidden menu is "Support_Secret_Menu". I wonder if that'll activate an additional menu.
It'd be nice to have Display Frame Rate option on this menu.
crash
When i try to add the activity widget it crashes on me. Not sure if its because i have 7 screens or a active wallpaper or what..

Click on home and it will open up a sub menu.

I have given up. I have the same LaunherPro installed, and have selected the same activity widget, but I do not have a hidden menu option in my list. Tried to uninstall and reinstall and no go. Thanks though, good find.
Idk. I installed the Hidden Activities app and found Verizon Hidden Menu but it won't open and instead I get an error message.

Is there a way to add hotspot toggle to quick settings

I was just wondering if you could add hotspot toggle to quick settings because you could on the S5 and S6.

I don't want to use that firmware because I want to have my phone rooted.

I had it on the Sprint firmware as well.
Download nova launcher, add an activity widget to the homescreen... scroll down to settings and find the hotspot icon to add to your desktop. Should give you all your hotspot settings.
