What does it do, exactly?

Does it show the quick access icons as soon as you pull down from the top? Or does it do something else?

I tested it out on 9.0 & 9.5 using a variety of configurations and never saw any effect from "Disable quick pulldown" - regardless of the settings, pulling down from the top doesn't show any quick access titles.

OMG! You are right! Thank you so much!

I'm left-handed - so I was always pulling down from the LEFT side of the status bar. I was getting crazy as to why the quick pull down wasn't working :).

I do wish the rom could have an option in the setting to pull down from either the left OR right side of the status bar - I'm sure left-handed folks such as myself would appreciate that :).

Feel free to decompile the source and code it in. I've even written up a tutorial in this forum for adding it; it would only require editing a couple of values. I'm right-handed.

Is it safe to flash CWM Touch recovery right now alongside 9.5?

EDIT: Disregard that, works fine. :)

Nice to know it only took me a bit to find a TW ROM themed like AOSP. Now I can get the best of both worlds. Gonna test this with Viper4Android to see how well this is going to work :) Will report back if I find any issues.

EDIT: Looks like MusicFX on this ROM isn't supported.....well that's a shame :( I can't use Viper4Android. Oh well, more testing.

EDIT 2: .........oh..it does work. :D Well, found my daily driver. So far this ROM is snappy, easy to set up, haven't had a single issue that wasn't easily solved....idk why Poweramp gave me that issue earlier, but whatever. It works :)

CWM recovery sucks. For now, we'll stick with PhilZ latest release. If I come across a copy of TWRP that actually works or if I can successfully build a custom version of CWM that accepts recovery scripting (ie. unencrypted extendedcommands), I may switch over but PhilZ will be the only 'supported' recovery for the time being.

Welcome to the Conquest Singularity thread.

I don't know you but i already like you. You had mentioned something wasn't working, did some troubleshooting and fixed your issue. Oh what a wonderful place the world would be if more people would do the same instead of making multiple posts reporting something will not work when in most cases, it most certainly will. They just need to take the time and figure it out.

Thanks :D:thumbup:

lol the funny part is, all I did was install Viper4Android anyway, rebooted, and Poweramp gave me the option to use MusicFX. Themer FC's on me, though. Can't figure out why that launcher doesn't work.....might not support TW ROM's. I haven't tried another launcher since I'm fine with Google Now. I noticed the "Do Not Disturb" function of this phone didn't work well for me. I set it to operate only during a certain time and it wouldn't recognize those times. Matter of fact I don't remember hearing my phone go off when I got an email this morning......eh, I'll keep an eye out. Some settings like to get FUBAR when you switch ROMs lol. If I can't get "Dormant Mode" to work, I'll just use a 3rd party app that allows me to set what days my phone's quiet. Handy because I can tell it not to go silent on the weekends when I go out (college lyfe bro!!!).

Anyway, so far so good. Loving the ROM and I'm loving the fact that it was idle for 12 hours and only lost 16% of its battery. AOSP ROM's were draining the living hell out of it lately. In less than half the time I drained my battery using only Poweramp. Let's see how well it does with Power Saver limiting the CPU (I'll shut this off quick if it causes Poweramp to skip). But yea, so far my report is a big :D


& my friend, you have no idea how much I would love humanity if they learned how to troubleshoot their issues instead of complaining to someone like us that understands technology. However, if that were the case, I don't think Computer Science majors would get the nice paycheck they currently receive. I call it a fair trade-off lol

LOL!!! Funny you mention Computer Science. I just finished up 2 years of Behavioral Science, am now a certified Drug and Alcohol Abuse Counselor, and am seriously considering going back to get a degree in Computer Science. I enjoy helping people work out their issues and show them there's better way to live which doesn't involve drugs or alcohol. I can still do that on the side but It's just that computers are my passion. They have been since I started taking the time to learn my way around one. I started out fixing computers as a hobby and before I knew it, most of my friends were bringing me theirs when they messed up. I actually made decent money on the side fixing them too. LOL!! :D

I've been thinking long and hard about it and I may go ahead, follow my heart and take it to the next level.

I'm a Computer Science major myself. It's not what you think it is.....unless you like coding. Then it's what you think it is lol. Right now I'm in discrete math, which takes a good while to understand, especially when your teacher speaks Vietnamese first and English......third...fifth. Hell idk. All I know is I'm on my own since they don't offer tutoring for Computer Science classes at my university, oddly enough. A lot of money in it, though. Security Analyst is a good 70-80K out the door. Taking the easy road out is around 50 or 60K. Of course, the more you do with Software Development, the more money you rake in out the gate.

Drugs and alcohol? Sounds like college..........well, bad decisions in college.....some bad, some turn out good, a lot end with epic stories to tell before my liver goes "much liquor, so wow, lots caught up" when I'm 40. Til then, college bro! Come at me, bro! Do you even keg stand bro?!!! .........nah I'm too old for that :p

Anyway, 21 hours later, 65% battery left. Let's see how fast it drains with games, though.

I've always been a fan of Go SMS Pro and never had any problems with MMS on previous (AOSP) ROMs, but for some reason MMS will not download through it on this ROM. I have no issue with MMS when using Samsung Messaging. I've already tried changing everything I can think of in the settings of Go SMS Pro and I can't seem to get it to work. I've tried emailing GO's support team, but it has been several days and they have not responded. Is there any chance that this is a ROM issue or, more generally, a TouchWiz issue?

I did a fresh install of this ROM recently and selected Google Hangouts as the messaging app to install. I later restored a Chomp SMS backup with data (and later wiped data) through Titanium Backup, which had been functioning perfectly in my previous ROM installation. To my dismay it refused to download MMS when I used it as the default messaging app, but Hangouts always downloads MMS just fine when Hangouts was my default messaging app.

In the previous scenario, quoted above, I had installed Samsung Messaging with the OS. Additionally, the GO SMS team got back to me after sending them a logcat and they said that nothing looked wrong.

I'm beginning to wonder now if this is somehow related to the ROM and/or its installation and which SMS app is initially installed. I'd like to hear some feedback from the community and/or the developer to hear the experiences of others and see if the developer thinks there is any plausibility to this being an issue.

FEEDBACK
Long: I don't provide support for 3rd-party messaging apps other than those included in the ROM installation due to the fact that they almost always require some kind of additional configuration and frankly I can't be bothered with looking up every possible setting that may need to be changed with every messaging app available.

Short: Use Hangouts, stock messaging, Textra, or 8sms.

Summary: If you choose to use a messaging app other than one provided in the installation package, do not expect me to provide troubleshooting/support for it. You're on your own. Stop cluttering the ROM thread.

Out of respect for Moon and the ROM thread I will not go into a detailed fix here.
Check your PM inbox shortly. I use Chompsms and I have a fix for you that'll allow MMS.

Not that it's a fix or anything, but when I get an MMS I have to switch from LTE to 3G to download it. It's kind of a pain, but I don't get too many MMS so I just switch it on the fly. It's nice that we don't have to reboot in between any more.

Project closed. I'm sick of whiny people who can't be bothered to read through the thread (not to mention the first page) for questions to their answers and expect me to troubleshoot every little problem they have with this app or that. If a MOD wants to lock this thread, be my guest.

    FAQ

    Q: Why theme a TouchWiz ROM? Why not use an AOSP-based ROM?
    A:     I tried AOSP-based ROMs. I love them. Unfortunately, I live in a low-signal area. The RIL stack in AOSP-based ROMs has difficulty locking onto a 1xRTT signal in low-reception areas. The TouchWiz RIL stack doesn't appear to have this problem. Basically, I can't make or receive calls from my bedroom with AOSP-based ROMs and this gives me an AOSP look and feel without the signal issues.

    Q: Can I use your ROM as a base for some other work?
    A:     I don't care. I don't even care if you give me credit. However, please be sure to give credit to those that are credited in my OP. They worked very hard and deserve the kudos.

    Q: Will you be updating this to use NDC as a base?
    A:     No. The NDC base doesn't include the framework necessary for native tethering support.

    Q: Will you be including an advertisement blocker in a future update?
    A:     I will never include an advertisement blocker in the ROM. A developer's bread and butter is often comprised of the advertising revenue that they take in. See this article over on Ars Technica for a detailed explanation of why ad blocking is harmful.

    Q: I have a super great idea for something I'd like to see included in your ROM. How do I get it into Conquest?
    A:     Ask for it in the thread. I monitor this thread as much as I can. If I feel a "feature request" would not improve the experience of the ROM, or if it is not possible to implement due to technical reasons, then I won't include/implement it. Feel free to do so on your own. Do not PM me with feature requests. Any such requests will be referred back to the forum thread and FAQs. Such requests are also far less likely to ever be implemented.

    Q: Why is this ROM almost 3 times a big as an AOSP ROM?
    A:     The ROM zip file includes not only the base system, but also the Google apps and most of the TouchWiz apps that come with ND8. Not all of the apps that are in the zip file will be installed. You can customize your installation via the included Aroma installer which runs when you flash the ROM from recovery. So the installed ROM is really only as big as you make it.

    Q: I tried to install a full release and/or update. Why can't recovery open the file/why did the install fail?
    A:     This is usually caused by a corrupted download. Please check the md5 of the file you downloaded against the md5 posted on this page.

    Q: I didn't wipe the recommended partitions during installation/update. Why are some features not working after flashing/why is my phone unstable?
    A:     There are recommended areas to wipe for a reason. At this point, I would recommend starting from scratch with the latest full release.

    Q: I want to install the latest release and all updates in order. I found the download link for the latest update, but where are the links for the previous updates?
    A:     Updates are cumulative unless otherwise specified. You only need to install the latest update after a full release.

    Q: I installed the latest update. Why am I experiencing force-closes and/or other errors?
    A:     While installing updates normally requires wiping only cache and dalvik-cache, your experience may vary. I test all of my updates from a clean install of the latest full release and can guarantee that they will work when installed in this manner. If you experience any errors, follow the instructions for a full install.

    Q: I just installed a full release. Why is my phone stuck on the Samsung logo/KT747 splash screen/boot animation?
    A:     This is a bootloop. Wipe system, data, cache and dalvik cache and reinstall. If you still bootloop, your phone may not be compatible with the KT747 kernel. Post in the thread with details of what steps you took to install/troubleshoot, as well as what options you chose during install (as many as you can remember), what baseband your phone is on, and what recovery you are using.

    Q: I chose to make a backup prior to installing and/or wipe a partition via OTA Update Center before flashing an update, but there's no backup and/or nothing got wiped. Why?
    A:     Philz recovery isn't fully compatible with the scripting language that OTA Update Center uses. I do not recommend flashing updates from within OTA Update Center. You can find the files that OTA Update Center downloads in the /scdard/OTA-Update folder. Please navigate there in recovery and flash the files manually after making a backup.

    Q: Why don't I have the option to install TouchWiz Messaging when I choose AOSP/Google on the dialer selection screen?
    A:     TouchWiz Messaging is incompatible with the AOSP in-call app (TeleService.apk) and requires the TouchWiz in-call app (SecPhone.apk) to properly send and receive messages. While AOSP Contacts works fine with the TouchWiz in-call app, the Google Dialer cannot access call history from the TouchWiz in-call app.

    Q: Why can't I find feature xyz?
    A:     If it's not in the list of features in the OP or in the changelog, it probably doesn't exist in this ROM. Feel free to implement it yourself.

    Q: I have Xposed framework and xyz module installed. Why isn't feature xyz working?
    A:     Some Xposed modules conflict with the functionality built into the ROM. I don't personally use Xposed, therefore I will not test for compatibility with the framework or modules.

    Q: Why does my device lag/stutter/etc. when the screen is off?
    A:     The KTweaker app included in the ROM has the ability to set separate minimum/maximum frequencies when the screen is off (screen off profile) as a means of prolonging battery. The values can be customized in KTweaker.

    Q: Why doesn't anything happen when I enable/disable "Battery precentage on icon," "3Minit Battery Mod," or "On-screen navigation bar" in settings?
    A:     These options require you to reboot your phone after enabling them to activate them.

    Q: Where is the Roaming settings/motion settings menu?
    A:     The Roaming settings and motion settings menu were removed from the settings app because they are hard-coded to work only with the TouchWiz apps.

    Q: Why don't the special dialer codes work?
    A:     Special dialer codes (a.k.a. secret codes or ## codes) don't work in the Google dialer. However, a link to the hidden dialer code menu has been added to the Developer options menu in settings.

    Q: Why can't I set contact photos in the TouchWiz Contacts/People app?
    A:     The Contacts app was originally hardcoded to use only the TouchWiz Gallery app to select photos. This limitation has been removed as of Conquest: Singularity 4.1 with the caveat that selecting photos using Google+ Photos does not work. Most other apps should work fine. You can still set contact photos from within the Google+ Photos app directly.

    Q: Why can't I send/receive MMS/picture messages in 8sms?
    A:     8sms requires a little extra configuration for some users in order to get MMS working properly:
    1. Launch 8sms
    2. Open the settings menu within 8sms
    3. Scroll down and select "Multimedia (MMS) messages"
    4. Scroll down and select "MMS settings"
    5. Scroll down and select "Extra http headers"
    6. Enter X-MDN: ##LINE1## and tap "OK"
    7. Press back until you are back to the main 8sms screen
    8. Send a MMS to yourself or ask someone else to send one to you to test
    If these steps don't make MMS work for you, please send a bug report to the developer of 8sms.

    Q: Where can I find themes for this ROM/how do I apply a theme/how do I make a theme for this ROM?
    A:     All of my themes, along with a theming-related FAQ and a brief tutorial on theme making can be found here.

    Q: I sent you a private message about a problem I'm experiencing with this ROM. Why haven't you answered?
    A:     I don't provide support via private messages. If it's a legitimate problem/bug, post it in the forum for everyone to see. That way, there are more people that can potentially answer and everyone can also see the solution. Sending me a private message with a bug report (unless I have approached you via private message prior regarding an issue or feature testing, etc.) is a great way to get yourself added to my ignore list.

    Q: I don't like your bad attitude, rude answers, or lack of willingness to help. What should I do?
    A:     Use a different ROM.
