    Hello, I have the note 4 on Verizon, and realized the settings menu is list, not the tabbed view that I prefer.. There's not an option in settings to change it, but in nova you can trigger an activity within settings to launch to what looks like a beta tabbed view.. It looks incomplete or something, anyone know a better method?

    There's no difference in Settings between TouchWiz and Nova - they're both launchers and Settings is a different app. In Nova, you can have a tabbed view in the app drawer, if that's what you're talking about. You can't do that in TouchWiz.

    In the device settings, the default is set to list, but on other carriers you can get a tabbed view of the device (system) settings. In nova, you put a shortcut of an activity of the tabbed mode settings app on the home screen, and it launches a tabbed view. I'll post pics to help explain

    Show us a screen shot of your setting menu. It should look like this.

    That's strange, maybe someone with Verizon note 4 can chip in.

    Thanks for your intent, but as I previously mentioned, Verizon disabled that I guess.. So I'm looking for a workaround.

    Hmm.. Wonder why carriers removed it? What's your 'list' view settings page look like?

    Sorry, didn't realize that's what you were trying to say. I read it as you couldn't find the option. My bad!

    Wonder the same thing. Instead of removing their bloat, they remove something that people actually use.

    I agree, Verizon needs to do a little more thinking and less conspiring on what they can do to mess with customers..

    That's why it took me FOREVER to leave Verizon and go to T-Mobile. But, now, in my area, my coverage on TMo is exactly what I used to get from Verizon and my bill is half as much. Very happy defector here! haha.
