[APP] Note 2 Hidden Settings [Easily Change Hidden CSC Features]
- Thread starter nagasgura

wait, what does that exactly do? make it have a black background?
I have a s4 and my messages show up in white
It makes it show up like email, with an inbox, sent messages, drafts, etc. Instead of showing it by conversation.
Anybody got a temporary fix for the keyboard bug? It's my default keyboard and it's borderline unusable now. Not the end of the world if there isn't, I can wait.
So, correct me if I'm wrong, but once you install and use this app, it replaces your original XML file with one from this app and then changes the settings as needed? I am asking because on my Note II i317 I already had some tweaks entered in the XML manually that are now lost since using this app. One, for example, is the AT&T NFC icon.
Edit: Forget this post. I see it is just modifying the existing XML. My NFC icon works just fine.

I have. Haven't found a decent replacement for the stock Samsung one. The prediction has never let me down, love the number row for passwords, easy access to voice, it shrinks itself and is moveable when using multi window...
It's just a fantastic keyboard and I'm annoyed with myself for tinkering with it.
It's probably the reset to default option that isn't working. I just released an update which might fix it, but in case it doesn't, here's how to fix it manually:
- Use Root Explorer, ES File Explorer or a similar app to go to the /system/csc directory
- Delete the feature.xml file
- Rename the feature_backup.xml file to feature.xml
- Make sure the file permissions on the new feature.xml are rw-r--r--:
- Owner: Read, Write
- Group: Read
- Others: Read
I have the AT&T version and mine are behaving opposite. Once I applied setting once from the app, my email app appears to have a black theme with white message body background. No matter how I toggle the switch. Prior to this, my email app was a light theme with white background.
Yup, that worked and I am back to my original. Would you like me to post my original and modified feature.xml files, along with a screenshot of how my email program looks?
Sure, that would be helpful.
Also if anyone has an others.xml file and no feature.xml file (like at&t phones), please post it. I'm trying to fix a bug with certain phones.
I don´t have feature.xml file in i9300 stock (I9300XXEMG4_I9300TPHEMG2_I9300XXEMG4) firmware, in attach my original others.xml
any one try the "Auto power on before alarm" ? Does this work like it did for blackberry, where if the phone is off it'll automatically turn it on for the alarm?
id like to know as well...and please mention what kind of phone you are using because this app works on multiple phones
I'll give it a test, I hope so as this is my biggest issue since switching to a 'smart' phone.

Hi ,First of all thanks for all your hard work.
I have been using csc features in all kind of roms from android to windows for a long time so i had to try your app
When i tried your app in my modified stock ROM( latest note 2 uk rom) i noticed i had lost all my previous csc hacks, i had to find out why.
I my case you app is malformating the xml (feature.xml)file therefore rendering it useless, i have found where the problems are and editing the file all the features come back.
Attached are the files from your app and the one fixed so you can compare it.
other fixes....
enable camera on call is missing a more than(>)character and therefore rendering the the code lines below it useless, here is the correct code:
Suggestions:
in order to enable keyboard symbols for all languanges at once use this code:
Also here is a picture of the file created by your app with the errors pointed out, i hope it helps in improving the app, many thanks.

Same here. I was probably one of the first to download it.

Thank you!!! I was just emailing one of my users who was having the same problem as you, you just saved me a lot of time. If I ever make a paid version or a different paid app, you'll be the first to get it for free. Attached is the fixed version of the app:

This app enables you to easily change hidden settings on your Note 2 (and possibly other Samsung devices), such as:
- Adding a shutter sound on/off option to the camera
- Turning on Infinite Scroll mode on the launcher and app drawer
- Extending how many contacts you can join together
Features:
- Shows which options have already been enabled, even by a different app or manually
- Creates an automatic backup in case something goes wrong
- Nice looking Holo interface
- Supports devices which implement feature.xml or an others.xml file (all Touchwiz roms)
- Adds a custom tag to the system file that allows you to easily tell what has been changed
Screenshots:
Changelog:
Code:1.6: Added a new feature to have a home page button in the browser menu Added ads to support the development of this app and further similar apps. You can shut them off my pressing the menu key, but theyl help support the app. Alternatively, you could also buy the new donate version that has no ads and no permissions. 1.5: Fixed a problem that caused all the features not to work Fixed a problem that caused certain phone features not to work Added much more languages to the sumsymbols including Russian and Spanish (confirmed working) 1.4: Fixed file permission issues that caused the backup to not be applied 1.3: Added a new Sound Settings category. Sound settings has a Shutter Sound option so if the shutter sound menu didn't work, you can turn it off this way 1.2: Added 5 more features: - Call Duration menu in the call log of the stock dialer - Camera during calls - Folder View in the messaging app - Automatically power on the phone before an alarm (might not work) - Make the background color of the Email app white instead of black 1.1: Fixed problem causing some of the options to display as off even when turned on 1.0: Initial Release (16 options)
If it doesn't seem to get root permissions and the reboot now option doesn't work:
Make sure that the XPrivacy app isn't blocking it from getting root permissions
For anyone having trouble with the app and the Reset to Default button isn't working:
- Use Root Explorer, ES File Explorer or a similar app to go to the /system/csc directory
- Delete the feature.xml file
- Rename the feature_backup.xml file to feature.xml
- Make sure the file permissions on the new feature.xml are rw-r--r--:
- Owner: Read, Write
- Group: Read
- Others: Read
