Hi I managed to get the SView screen background to a different one by a guide from vonerk. It works pretty well. You can answer calls but there is a glitch with the notifications. The background is generally for note 3 and I tried it with the S4 resolution too but its the same. Hope I can fix it later.

P.S : If you want your own specific background, just quote me and add the image. I will do that and post back for you.

Thats wat mentioned in the OP. S4 and Note 3 share the same background file resolution but we have only a black background whereas note 3 has a colored background. Now we have a colored SView and I'm working on the DPI change. Hope everything goes well.
