Both mods are complementary, where this mod is for everything but Settings and the other is the Settings app only.

GenNxt's mod does NOT work with Samsung stock. It only works with GenNxt. If it worked, then this mod would've never seen the light of the day.

I have tested with G4. But I don't think there's a problem if using different builds, as long as they are 4.4.2

I attempted to use it without the deodex thing, so it did not work for me! Thanks for the tip anyway!

This is because you have flashed some other mods into /system. Flash stock using Odin or restore a backup, then flash again. You can also dig into that /system/app and delete unused crap to save space, then reflash the mod. This happened because you don't have enough free ROM space, so the CWM installer did not copy the files (in your case, SecContacts.apk, SecTeleService.apk, and InCallUI.apk). For starters, you can remove S Voice and AllShare.

First of all, my phone is brand new 1 day old, i came from latest G8 firmware updated via OTA, rooted with your instructions in another thread, and flashed the zip file step by step and i did it carefully.. But after first boot all of my telephony app went missing.. Everything back to normal bcoz i flash stock rom..

UPDATE : i tried everything, reflash stock ROM - rerooting via CWM from your suggestion - reflash zip addon.. aaaaand it's gone..

NB : if i may add, could you please add dial app with dual sim support, in the screenshots the dial app seems only support single sim. thanks.

Your problem happened with me when I flashed this mod to a friend's Grand 2. This is because there's much junk in the ZIP. I fixed that, in addition to adding Note 3 Air Command. The update will be released tomorrow in the main post.
About the dialer, it does support Dual SIM, but I had only one SIM in the device when I took the snapshots.
And thanks for your effort. I'll notify you in PM when I upload the updated ZIP.

 

[playmoonbase]

But in my GG2 the dialer app only show one call button eventhough i had 2 sims in my phone.. And could you separate those note 3 feature in different zip file? so several people wont suffer like i do.. Thanks..

NB: please add quick settings toggle a la S5.. Thank you very much.. Have a nice day..

I'm going to investigate this issue. I (and you) may have to wait till old Sam makes a new phone with the S5 UI (dialer+contacts) AND Dual SIM.
About separating the Note 3 features, that's a really god idea!
And, oui, monsieur, what do you mean by saying "S5 toggles"? Well, I got them, even in the old mod. Except if you mean something else.
P.S. Can't you keep changing SIMs from the widget or the Notification Panel as a temporary fix?
