Requires Xposed Framework!

I recently got access to a Note 3 (it's not mine). I wanted to make S-View Music Controls support it so I went ahead and purchased a Spigen cover (still in shipping) and upgraded the device to KitKat, where apparently, Samsung disabled S-View for non genuine cases.

This module bypasses verification and forces S-View to work on 4.4.2.
I can't test this since I don't have access to the device atm, nor do I have a case, but it's been confirmed working on two devices thus far :)

Compatibility:
Note 3 with KitKat

Works perfectly, tested on 3 "fakes" S View Covers, they work the same as my 2 originals!
Thanks a lot.

Thanks for the great work!!!
I ask you for a favor. Would be possible por you make an xposed module for santard flip cover (since kitkat, my cover behaves like a sview cover and is a flip wallet type cover)
I read that you said that cover type is 2 for 3rd party cases, further digging into Samsung's code revealed that the possible IDs are:

0 = standard flip cover
1 = S-View cover
2 = No cover
3 = S-View cover with Qi charging

This module forces type 1, and disables verification by always returning true.

Can you make a module for type 0?

Thank a lot!!!

    Great Man. Finally I can update to kitkat if its working.

    Keep in mind this requires Xposed, which needs root :)

    Is it even possible to launch S-View programmatically? If so, someone could just write an app by checking the magnetic sensor.

    There's a check done in SystemUI, so no.

    This can be solved by case manufacturers, it seems that this isn't a move by Samsung to kill covers, but rather to make the covers more integrated, and this came as a side effect (whether they knew about that or not I don't know).

    I'm guessing that on 4.3, they never checked the ID since there were only S-View covers, so reacting to the magnet was enough (as long as there was a chip on the back).
    In 4.4, that may have changed to checking the ID to distinguish between normal covers that should just toggle the display, S-View, and S-View with charging. It defaults to no case though.

    Case manufacturers can simply make a similar chip that feeds ID type 1. I'm no hardware engineer, and I barely understand chips and how they work (this may even be solved by simply writing to the chip on current cases, if that can be done).

    I'd love it if someone who knows a thing or two about EE can comment on how much BS I said :)

    Edit: One more thing, I'm guessing they didn't check the magnet alone because of the issues that happened on the S4 (people working close to magnetic fields had the S-View screen shown all the time they were in that magnetic field)

    Maybe this mode disable the cip and activate sview by proximity censor.

    Magnet is required, not using proximity sensor as I cover the proximity sensor part with a normal case only not working.
