Hello My friends,

Here with one simple "MOD" and its "Glance View" which works when u hover ur hand on top of screen when locked

I see lot of work which can be done and will try to Mod as much as possible to make this more intresting.
For now i have made few and rest will do as an when i get free time

I m also open for Request incase someone wants to add some particular image no ETA...

Requirement to make this work for now
Samsung S4 Active (Sammy Base Firmwares/Variants only)
Must be Rooted

Download the zip extract the apk
Use file manager, solid explorer or any good file manager u want

Copy-paste the APK to system/app and replace with old one & Reboot

All Done.

Note : I take no responsibility for any thing that may happen to your Phone do this at your own risk.

Note : I do not own this device but I have S4 i9505 for which I made this mod Here....For S4 active I made this mod using S4 active files only and should work just fine





I spend hours on XDA so I can cantribute the maximum to this forum so please don't just download but..

Sorry for the dumb question.. They look right what should it be set at?

rw-r--r--. I ran into the same problem. Revert back to stock apk and reboot. Then TURN OFF "AIR GESTURE" IN SETTINGS. Reboot. Install custom apk, fix permissions, reboot. Lmk if it worked.

Yup. It works great after using the steps outlined in my previous post. I think the problem is that I needed to disable "Air Gesture" before disabling stock apk and placing modded GlanceView.apk.

Good to hear that

well similar issue sometime comes with Note 2 also

In-case a user has Custom recovery wipe cache and dalvik after apk copy should also do

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but I'm unable to get this working. I've tried Ghost and Glowing hardware on my S4 Active (I9295), but when I try the glance view the phone doesn't switch on. I've backed up my original glanceview.apk and replaced it with the one from the zip,then copy the background.png to the same location. I've tried with and without modifying permissions. It goes back to working fine if I replace the apk with my backup.

Any clues to where I'm going wrong?
