Is there anyway to change your default homescreen? I really love touchwiz's customizability and app drawer but really dislike the fact that the defualt home screen is the first one.
Can anyone help?

Use sgs tools to change default page.
I am currently using launcher pro but i am not really a fan of its dock or app drawer. Btw my phone is not rooted so i cant use sgs tools.
Is there any way i can change it if i root my device?

I know it's not what you asked but stick your finger on the little numbers before the bottom layer of apps (drawer, phone, etc) and drag left and right. It'll make switching quicker and so the fact it's first won't be as annoying.
This may sound stupid, leave the default homescreen as 1 and just change what 1 is?
menu->edit or pinch to get the homescreens up and just press and hold then move the one you want as default to the 1st spot?

Not possible without rooting the device!
It's one of the reasons why I ditched TouchWiz from the first day on. I use launcher pro now because I really like the dock with three pages for all my important apps.
If you root, you can edit default.prop to change this to another default screen
Download : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775154&highlight=homescreen&page=37
open SGS tools and go to .prop Editor and edit default.prop
#sets TouchWiz Launcher default screen
ro.csc.homescreen.defaultscreen=4
press menu and save I rebooted and it worked
(forgot to try if it's gonna work without rebooting )
enjoy

You can do the same thing with Widgetsoid, and probably anything that lets you make a shortcut.
I'm not sure why but one of the hidden menus is com.android.hiddenmenu.SprintMenu
When I open it, it is blank and the header is 1x Engineering. Ah, looks like it's just part of the data menu from the main section.

You can toggle LTE off with an app calle Phone Info. Under Device Information you select preferred network type. Not a toggle but it works.

I also would be interested in doing this via AnyCut
Because Phone Info seems to switch it to VZ LTE instead of EPHRD when switching back to 4G. I'd assume Any Cut since it works within the system would be "nicer" and not cause this.
Does anyone know how could I use a build prop edit to safely hide the bottom navigation bar without using unnecessary RAM? I use LMT so it isn't necessary.
I believe its in the build . prop file because when I replaced it to do a status bar mod, the bar disappeared momentarily when the file was missing.
However, I'm new to Android and I don't want to put myself into a boot loop or worse by blindly deleting things. I don't even know how to use a recovery yet. So does anyone know where this is? Thanks
LG G2
I just use an app. Auto hide soft keys. It's in the play store. Also use LMT myself. Let me ask you something, what setting do you set gesture input to?

Softbricked my phone and had to restore to stock then re-root etc :crying:
what is LMT?
This is LMT, or one of its functions. Its a really customizable navigation bar that replaces the stock one, along with any of other gesture control you could think of. Its great, you should try it out
LG G2
It swipes in from the bottom, top or sides. You can hold the gesture and lift your finger on the button or just swipe through in the direction you want and the function will activate. It gets much more complex than my setup but I'm just keeping it simple for now

The best app to hide soft keys is UDN (ultimate dynamic navbar),it can hide your keys without the need to modify them in build prop....And replace them with its soft keys that are not only customisable but you can also make them as tiny as you want in order not ot occupy as much space...

woof i tried UDN, to hide nav bar it requires xposed with it's module..i'm not too much interested to install other sw indeed, and IMHO it's the same of autohide
Then the build.prop string qemu.hw..... works??

It worked for me.Without xposed,i just ticked the option in the settings.Also you can make the keys as tiny as you want,even if you want them visible all the time and not hidden it will help alot to make them tiny.

have you considered getting a 3rd party brightness manager?
I don't know about 5+, but on 4.4.4 the brightness slider hides itself when the phone detects an app that manages auto-brightness.

hi ,
Sorry ,hiding my relevant notifications is not an option to me ,as my apps need "it " to keep in memory/function ,as to not be "close/kill "by device or Greenify (?)
It needs the Notifications to functions properly../stay in memory .(.You would notice i have certain apps ,GMD gestures also Swipepad ,Nortons security ,eCid app .. to read certain notifications ...etc etc ,which is very important for me,that it works 100%)
Obviously your needs seems to differ ,to me as long as it scales right i am happy !
good luck in your quest .
post note ..however in lockscreen it also scales ok ( with my notifications )

Then you'll need a SecSettings.apk from a rom with it already modded.
I didn't mod the SecSettings.apk, but I was able to remove the brightness adjustment by editing the settings database directly.
Here are the steps:
1. Install SQLite Debugger, if you haven't already.
2. Launch SQLite Debugger and open /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db.
3. Open "system" table
4. Modify the SQL query in the followin manner: "SELECT * FROM system WHERE name='notification_panel_brightness_adjustment'
5. Run the query (click on arrow in the top right corner)
6. You should see the query result with 1 entry
7. Click on it and in the popped-up menu select "Update value"
8. Remove "name='notification_panel_brightness_adjustment'" from the query (after SET keyword) and replace it with "value='0'" (without double quotes)
9. IMPORTANT: make sure that you still have the "WHERE _id = xxx" (xxx is some number that matches the ID of notification_panel_brightness_adjustment entry)! Do not modify it. For reference, on my phone this ID is 279.
10. Run the query. You should see a toast message "1 row updated"
11. Click "Commit" in the lower right corner. And once again click "Commit" in the popped-up dialog
12. Reboot you phone and you are done.

But for me it's just a one-time change ("set and forget" kinda thing), because I always use auto-brightness. Editing the DB is a quicker than modding the package.
