i also sent you a pm

problem with this aps is that its fixed size on the caller images... i need some program that i can have like 4 images on the screen ower the whole screen

If you just want 4 huge pictures, you probably need to use a third party dialler or wisbar/WAD.
However, for a simple/simplistic today dialler, try claunch with my VJPhoneTools.

You'll actually need two programs to do this as Vijay said ; WA2 and WAD
But then you will gain full control of your screen, and graphic-sizes.....well you actually get TOTAL control

X2 ^^ ... one feature that I missed the most that was on my G1 is the hyperlink of URL, address & phone number.
Especially the hyperlink for address, I drive around town alot for work, and plan my destinations on Calendar the night before. Not having the hyperlink to address has been a PITA.

s0niqu3 was able to push the stock 2.1 apps on to the Vibrant. Check out his post below. I haven't tried it out myself though.

Yeah nothing is more frustrating than putting in the address and when you want to navigate to it, it well doesn't work.

More specifically:
Replace touch wiz calendar with google default

That bar on top pisses me off, but I would rather have a tiny annoyance than using the TouchWiz calendar.
Follow the directions though, you have to remove the TouchWiz Calendar and TouchWiz Calendar Provider FIRST with a root file explorer or ADB (which I never got working), and then uninstall the residuals from Settings>Applications. THEN push/move the two apk's in the linked thread to system/app, then reboot.
You will lose access to a few TouchWiz widgets, and the home dock app won't work.

[Q] Statusbar LG-E400

Hey guys, I need some help.
I edited my SystemUI.apk to remove the music widget and the carrier text for more notification space, But I have a problem now.
In the carrier area there was my clear button, and now it's gone. I want it back but diffrent, Hope you guys can help me!
This is how it looks like now:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And this is how I want it:
Or can I make this button to clear the notifications?
Already Thanks!
DarrellDD

have a look at my SystemUI, it's themed similar to NatureUX's so it should answer your first question.

[EDIT]
Got it working now, and I know my problem.
Because I hide the old clear all button and not deleted it, It uses that one. By deleting it it uses the new one.
It works like a charm!
Thanks!
[EDIT]
I want that indeed, but I tried to copy it to my SystemUI.apk with no succes. The button appears, but has no functions. When clicking on it, the background changes but it doesn't clear the notifications. Also when I added the ids of the button apktool won't even build the apk because of errors. I have no idea how to implent it working. Hope you can help me.
Greeting,
DarrellDD

you don't have to add a new id. my example only move the button to notification header and add a custom image. the id (@id/clear_all_button) and all other elements remains the same.

I mean the drawable ids in the public.xml But I saw they automatticly added when building the apk. Thanks anyway! You really helped me editing my phone!

Is there a list of bloatware/apps safe to disable?

I searched the forums but I can't find any thread which compiles some sort of list for the Note 4 so far. Can someone point me to the right thread?

Here you have an "automatic" debloater:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/themes-apps/cwm-bloatware-removal-script-t3067501

The forum is full of those ..
Though freezing/stopping apps first .. then if so you wish uninstall them is the safest way .. I don't recommend auto debloaters at all for the simple facts that devices/Roms differ and devs can't possibly test all of them ..
Key is : stop what you don't use "now" delete what you are sure that you'll never use ..
For privacy reasons all pre installed apps that can be downloaded "should be deleted and installed freshly " especially after rooting and using privacy apps that cloak such as xprivacy ..
Apps that are pre-installed would know everything about your device even if you block their access & permissions later on ..

Can't install/update apps from play store

So i rooted my 5 for the first time today and it all worked good. ( I used Magisk 23.0 and twrp-3.4.0-10-cheeseburger-dumpling-mauronofrio )
Now that I try to install apps or update them I get an error notification which says that it cant be downloaded and I should insert and sd card or usb storage with sufficent storage.
Some very small apps seem to be downloadable like terminal emulator.
So I tried lots of things to fix this but non worked or some step in the fix doesn't work for example tried this this and it seems to not work since some commands dont seem to work, but one command said that cache is read only which that fix is supposed to make read and write. I also tried this where i used the app and the first fix doesn't work but the second says it does but it doesn't work anyways, also the manual one fix 1 says there is no folder and fix2 seems to work but it has no output or doesn't help.
I also notice if i turn on file transfer when connected to pc and i try to check files on the phone nothing gets shown or am able to put something in it.

Omg guys new day, new beginnings and i found a fix for my problem.
Go into recovery tap advanced > tap fix contexts > reboot.
Jeez such an easy fix and I was searching for hours yesterday.

Lol, didn't PCs teach you anything?
As stable as Androids are it's easy to forget to reboot... but Gookill apks are the worst.
