SGS4 Pedometer App for Custom Roms ?

So if I install any of the Custom ROMs is there a way I can get Samsung Pedometer App or an alternative app that works with SGS4 Pedometer, as I understand in SGS4 have a new sensor for it ?

I am from Holland and the meaning of pedo is very very bad. I got a little shock when I saw this thread.

A pedometer is a device, usually portable and electronic or electromechanical, that counts each step a person takes by detecting the motion of the person's hips
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/pedometer
Origin:
1723; < French pédomètre, equivalent to péd- (learned use of Latin ped- foot (stem of pēs ); see pedi-) + -omètre (see -o-, -meter

Pedometer used to be on old devices like SE W995.
It's just the sensor used for rotating the screen,if you want accurate calories counter then use apps like Sportstracker that use GPS,age and weight to count the calories you burn.
The only new sensor I found cool is the weather sensor so you can read ambient temp and humidity

Yeah same here lol

You guys obviously have some kind of problem or maybe you are just adolescents. Everyone knows what vladimir want to ask so I really don't understand what is the meaning of such ridiculous comments. This is normal name of this app/device. There is a definition on Wikipedia.
Snapdragon Galaxy S4

My thought as well, it works just fine.

S health is one of the Samsung Own apps that apparently need touchwiz to work, especially the widget from s health, I haven't personally tried but I've read it wont work... because ASOP AKOP CWM10.1 don't have the Samsung framework or something for Samsung own apps...

please help me :crying: :crying: , what i do !? this mobile is fake or Original ?

sorry guys but my brother waiting if here anybody please help me

I think the phone is fine!
The storage seems about right! , Remember you will never ever get the full 32 gb and what you describe lines up with what i get on my phone
2.35 Gb of Ram ? Thats also fine, Android reserves about 700 mb for system usage etc!
Stop hissing about, its fine
IT could be that Sammie may have got it mixed up... where did he get the phone from?

Go to Settings, General Tab and Applications. See what the Device Memory on the bottom says. I doubt there is any way to fake a Samsung Moment for a Note 3
Actually I stand corrected. There are fakes out there. But clearly there are differences. Check your battery and compare it to the one in this video. Also notice this device does not have a Samsung logo on the front.

Just enter some of the Samsung dialer codes in the dialer. They don't work on fakes.
Try *#0*# for example.
If it's a fake, it won't bring up a test menu.

The GT-N9005 is the European model I believe. I have one that model.

It seems that this fake does have some kind of menu, but it doesn't seem to be the same as the real one in every way. If you notice, the resolution in the JellyBean test menu is much lower (i.e. the Jelly Beans are much bigger, but on a full HD display, they should be small.)
Try a few more obscure codes. I bet they don't have all of them ported to the fakes.

The best way to check if the note 3 is fake or not is spen. Only original note devices have wacom digitizer. If your brother have an ori spen with him, test it on the phone.

The S-Pen is a Samsung only product and the Wacom digitizer in the Note is tied directly to it. There are some things that cannot be faked, and this is one of them. Testing the S-Pen with the presumed fake will tell you if it's real or not.

Original spen only works on original note screen.
'S' pen is a stylus that Samsung has created for Samsung Galaxy Note. It does not work on any other Samsung phone. So you cannot use it on touchscreen's which do not use Wacom's technology.

Yes.

Go to a store, find demo unit of Note 2/3/10.1 and try on your screen. If it works its a REAL Note 3. if it doesn't its a fake., or go to the app store and download an app called "Genuine Galaxy S4/Note 3". If you have xposed framework installed with xprivacy make sure you have all options unticked. You need to install xposed and xprivacy so if you haven't it's not on there.
Run the app and it will tell you.

Did I buy a fake

I bought a phone off CL (yes I know) everything looked super legit
the model number though is a G9006V
Is this a real S5 or a chinese copy. Seems to be no way to root or install custom

One sure metod is Download mode

fffft said:
If your phone really has a Mediatek processor then it is a fake. But as already mentioned, not all programs correctly identify the chip. You should confirm the finding with another program and preferably provide us with a lot more details about your phone so that we have more confidence in the verdict.
Photos of the phone and any literature? In particular the top exterior, the label under the battery (you may wish to obscure part of the IMEI number) and a screen shot of at least the Settings menu > General > About Device. Particularly helpful would be installing the Phone Info app and tell us the results.

Good fakes fake the Phone info too.

If its fake, you should file a police report. Its fraud and illegal counterfeiting.

I'm also wondering the same thing. Running CPU-Z returns MediaTek MT6592, 8x ARM Cortex-A7 @ 1.66 GHz.
I've looked at some other videos and discussions online on how to tell a fake one apart, but for the most part it looks real, has waterproofing seals, a 16MP camera, heart rate monitor (though i have my doubts as to its results), etc. The Android version is 4.4.2. The fingerprint scanner doesn't seem legit, though, as i don't really need to slide my finger over the home button and any finger will unlock it. All in all i'm not really bummed as it was a third of the price of the other S5's listed online and still is much better than my previous phone. Really i just wish i could find a way to root it... I actually never really considered that it might be fake, though i was a little curious after reading about some of the things here:
ibtimes.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-s5-10-amazing-hidden-features-you-never-knew-about-1445367
...notably the touch sensitivity, which i don't have as a setting.
The battery life is also really weird, when opening certain apps (QQ, Anki) the battery life rapidly falls (completely gone within a couple hours) and i've got to restart the phone for it to stabilize again. I can watch movies or listen to music for what seems like days, though.

Try connecting via usb the phone to the PC and opening Kies 3

Hey, thanks for the reply. I just managed to root it using the tutorial here (though CWM is upside down??):
youtube.com/watch?v=s66e-kwvKUU
Also, KIES 3 doesn't detect it, should i take that as a good sign it's a fake?

I think it's fake

Does the fingerprint sensor work? If not then it's absolutely fake.
Next is how much was the selling price? Too cheap means probably fake.
Now about the processor, the second you see anything other than qcomm or exynos, it's already fake.

Try this: Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Refurbishment Check'.

Yep, it says that it can only be used with Samsung phones. I guess that settles it.

[Q] S-Pen Formula Match

I have noticed how all the previous galaxy notes have had the formla match function, where you write a formula and it gives you the answer by using wolfram alpha, either in the S-Finder or the S-note, however ive realised, theyve removed the S-Finder in the note 4 and the formula function isnt in the S-Note, is it somewhere wher i cant find it or have the removed the feature? :crying:

I think I've seen it inside the calculator application on the Note 4.
Try hovering over the calculator's input field with the S-Pen and click on the button for the handwriting field.
Can't test it though as I haven't gotten my Note 4 yet.

Thanks

Cheers =) im going to O2 tommorow so il definetely check it out. ive been looking for this for so long, thank you so much!! ;D

I've never used the feature you are talking about, but after doing some looking around, I found a button that transforms your writing into a formula. Haven't been able to get it to solve anything though.

I dont know, i dont really see why they removed it in the first place. the most common answer ive seen is that its in the calculator, il check that the next time i use it. If they have removed it, theres only one way you can get it, but i dont know if thats capable of handwriting recognition, only one way to find out and thts to wait and find out.

I cchecked

Fake Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge_Help

Hi all,
So I basically bought fake Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge - was confirmed by Samsung service centre. Firs time in my life is a victum of scam :crying: All reported to police etc. but the problem remains - I need this phone for work. In particular, I need to use the app called "Samsung Gear 360" it works with Samsung 360 camera. The fake one has "Android 6.0.1" which does not support the app.
Question: is there a way to make the fake one to support the app? Or can I update Android 7 to this fake Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge? so I can work untill I can buy the genuine one.
Thanks a lot in advance!

thats probably different phone that looks like s7.
see what you have in model info?

Not being rude, but I think there is a communication gap here. Firstly you seem to hand misinterpreted his initial post and now you are making no sense at all...

ok, so point him just 1 rom that he can flash if you are so helpful and intelligent.
answer to 1st post is:
no, you cant flash, because you dont know whats inside your phone, it could be mediatek, qualcom or whatever chinese put in.
so no app for this device
