XXBLL7 Android 4.1.2 Official Firmware Change Log

Now that XXBLL7 Android 4.1.2 Official Firmware is available for our cameras it would be interesting to see what changes it brings. As usual it's a hunt and track down for changes to upgrades but maybe we can compile a list?
So far I noticed there is now 4 new scenes in SMART mode...
"FOOD" - Take pictures that emphasise the vivid colours of food
"DAWN" - Take pictures that emphasise the dawn sky by making the blue more intense
"SNOW" - Take pictures that emphasise the brightness of snow by making the white more intense
"PARTY/INDOOR" -Take pictures of parties or other indoor activities without blurring
Also:
You can set an option to not automatically fire up the camera when you power on - very pleased by this one!
An icon has appeared on the notification bar - a battery with a recycle sign - to tell you that you have enabled 'Smart Network' mode (turns off network functions when screen is off)
Updated versions of Samsung built in apps naturally
Still looking...
Sadly the storage card dialog still pops up on a cold boot
Remote Viewfinder still not working

I want to flash this firmware, but can it be rooted?

Since I've rooted my Camera with Exynos Abuse, it says it is non-standard and refuses to tell me about any updates. Do I need to back out everything before it will notice the update? Does the abuse hole still exist after the update?

Check in settings-about device-Status If "Device Status" says "Custom" then you will not receive OTA updates. Mine says "Custom" as I rooted with odin. I don't know if Exynos Abuse changes the device status.

Is French language included in this firmware ?
Thx

I've just tried to, straight after flashing "without wipe" and the Exynoss Exploit APK from Chainfire fails to Root, but I'm going to do a wipe and see if it's a problem with some residual files or something.
Update:
With ExynosAbuse 1.40, although it detects the device as Exploitable, it's unable to Root the device.

Can't root with Exynos Abuse 1.40... But Auto-Root is working fine !
Could you check amount of ram ? I have now 755mb, and before i remember (or i'm drunk) that i had 768mb
Strange...

I downloaded from Samfirmware and installed through ODIN although I lost root I was able to re-root successfully again using chainfire's method.

there are a few other settings in smart mode which are snow, home party or something, there is also a weather app that has been installed

There's a setting in the settings menu called power that I didn't notice before, that allows you to choose when the device shuts itself down. Another thing I've found is that you don't have to keep enabling voice control in the camera app every time you close and open it now.
And just the general responsiveness seems better in the camera app too.

He is talking about the max available RAM on the device that is usable.
I don't have the galaxy camera, but the RAM amount can indeed change (The S3 had 7xxMB with ICS and now has 8XXMB in JB)

Ah, OK. In that case the total I have is 755Mb since the update.
Hope that helps.

Yeah, the value you have when you long press home (Samsung task killer).
In 4.1.1 it seems to me that i had 768 instead of 755.
After Odin update, i also had another 'camera update' during few minutes, on the 1st boot (specific to Galaxy Camera ?)

I've currently set the camera up with a lockscreen so it doesn't extend the lens when I hit the power button, but also, if the last thing the camera had open was the home screen, it opens back up in the home screen when I unlock the device.

Bloated settings app - Or maybe why the G3 lags? Plus some hidden settings!

I think I may have figured out a reason why the software from LG can cause the G3 to lag from time to time.
Take a look at all the features they left "on" in their bloated settings app. You can only get to a few of these features by using a launcher like Nova or Apex and creating a shortcut to it using the "activity" link.
Here's an example :
On Nova/Apex go to add shortcut > activities > settings > isai
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
What the hell is this? Isai motion? In the settings app it's checked "on". There's even an option to have a motion launch an app (similar to the camera on the Moto X, maybe?). I have no idea how to get this working, but the settings app has it checked.
Here's another :
Shortcut > activities > settings > Slide Aside
On the G2, slide aside was a weird memory hogging way of multitasking. I remember turning it off immediately on the G2 and getting improved performance. Guess what? It was checked "on" for me on the G3! But as far as I can tell, it's not even working.
Another :
Shortcut > activities > settings > Front Touch key light
Uh...pretty sure this was for the Optimus G and OG Pro - the G3 has on screen keys. Why is this even in the settings menu? Uncheck.
Final one :
Shortcut > activities > settings > Quickbutton
Nothing to check or uncheck here, but why is this in here? I think the Optimus G Pro had a quick button, why is this on the G3 settings app?
IN CONCLUSION :
My assumption is, just like with the G3 Home launcher and it's bloated hidden settings menu, LG has not actually "removed" features for different phones, they just take last year's software, no matter what phone, and add on top of it, then prevent the end user from adjusting those settings. How could they leave "slide aside" checked but not even give us an option in the settings menu to access it? Why would the settings menu even have a hidden option for quickbutton when the G3 has no quickbutton?
I would also assume, in some instances, it's easier and cheaper to program one set of software to install on multiple versions of the phone, that's why I can see there's MetroPCS and Verizon regulation info if you dig deep into the settings menu. But if a smart developer were to come along and strip all this crap out of the home launcher and the settings menu, my bet is you'd see a lot less lag because it'd probably take up less ram.
After turning some of the settings off my settings app is using 41mb of ram. We should compare to see who is using more or less and if it does in fact help with performance by turning some of these useless settings off.
EDIT : Here's some additional hidden menus. Maybe these options are present on some variations of the G3, but on the Tmobile G3 that I have they are not.

Strange... I think they are useless features but i hope they won't cause memory leaks...

Interesting. My settings shows 45MB total, but the com.android.settings app is using 36.
Do you know if using the stock AOSP settings app will turn off all those hidden settings?
Sent from my LG G3

Here's something else weird - if you dig around you find different versions of settings pages.
For example, my stock LED settings tab shows this :
But if you dig through the 6 or so LED shortcuts, you eventually find this :
This opens up a lot of questions for me. Why are there two separate LED settings menus? Why would they link to the menu with less options? If we dig more, will we find additional options that they limited from us to adjust the phone settings? I already also discovered the menu to make your own vibration pattern, and when you do, it will stick in the "normal" settings menu and let you use that custom vibration pattern. So why wasn't it included in the stock settings app?

So.. Did you turned those features off? If you did... Any improvement?

Not really. But I'm running ART with all the speed tweaks from the hidden dialer menu enabled plus I have no widgets or live wallpaper or anything. The G3 was already pretty quick for me before I discovered all this. I'd be curious to see the difference if the settings were turned off after a fresh install of the stock rom. The good thing about this is you could access these hidden menus without needing root.
What would really be great is if a dev managed to cook up a custom rom with all these hidden menus enabled in the stock settings app.

I'm just being greedy... Mine is blazing fast and no lags... But if I could free some more memory... Why not...

Switched a few of those bits off... Not noticed any difference yet but it's not worse!

Right. That's my feeling - it can only help. Plus if we all do more digging we might find actual useful hidden features. I know it's a small thing but I'm glad I was able to make my own vibration pattern.

I have the 851 and that custom vibration option was there in stock, as I had used it when I first got the G3 right out of the box.
Also, without Nova or APEX, no other way to access those "hidden" settings?

Well, you could just install Nova simply for that and then delete it when you're done. That's what I did.
I don't know of another way to access the hidden settings - maybe a dev on a custom rom will figure out a way to add it to the settings app.

16 Things You Can Do In Android Lollipop That You Couldn't Do In KitKat !
After what feels like a long time since we saw the L Preview first appear, Google is now rolling out the final version of Android 5.0 Lollipop to its existing Z series.
You get to know the best version of Android yet by working through this selection of tips and tricks,
covering all of the new features, major and minor, that are built into the operating system.
1. Tap and go
When you're setting up your new Lollipop device for the first time, you'll be presented with the option to "tap and go."
This NFC-and-Bluetooth-powered data transfer lets you move all
of your Google Account details, configuration settings, data and apps
over to a new device just by placing your old phone or tablet against it.
Widgets and wallpaper are swapped over as well.
2. Use the flashlight
Flashlight apps have always been popular on Android,
so Google has decided to roll one into Lollipop to save you the trouble of having download a third-party one.
Pull down the notification drawer then tap the top bar to
reveal the flashlight app alongside other options like airplane mode.
The app will only appear if your device has an LED flash alongside its camera.
3. Prioritize your apps
Android 5.0 Lollipop lets you set up a list of important apps that
are allowed to disturb you even when most aren't.
Head to Settings -> Sound & notification -> App notifications
and you can choose to block each app or mark it as a priority one. Tap the volume slider on your device to activate priority
mode indefinitely or for one hour (a circle with a stripe inside will appear in the status bar).
4. Deal with notifications from the lock screen
In Lollipop all of your app notifications appear on the lock screen ready
for viewing. Not only that, but you can interact with them as well.
Swipe to dismiss, tap to reply and so on,
depending on the app in question.
A double-tap gets you into the relevant app.
Head to Settings -> Sound & notification ->
When device is locked if you want to hide sensitive alerts.
5. Pin apps
If you want to hand over your device to one of your kids or a friend,
you can "pin" them inside one single app.
First, activate the feature via Settings -> Security -> Screen pinning.
Then, when you activate the multitasking screen via the
square Overview button, you'll see a pin icon
appear in the lower right-hand corner
of the bottom app (drag it up if you can't see it).
Holding down the Back and Overview buttons is enough to
exit the pinned mode and get back to other apps. When you activate the pin,
you'll be asked if you want to use a code or pattern to unlock it.
This is tied to the same protection applied to your device,
so if your lock screen isn't protected by a code or
pattern then the option won't appear when you're pinning apps.
6. Jump to app settings
The lock screen really has been given a major overhaul with
the Android 5.0 Lollipop update,
and the improvements include the ability to jump
straight to an app's settings or information panel right from
the lock screen. Long-press on
any notification and (depending on the app) you'll see a cog icon (the app settings shortcut)
and an info icon (the app notification settings shortcut).
7. Predict battery life
New to Android 5.0 Lollipop is the ability to see how much time is
left before the battery runs out of juice,
or how long you need to wait before your device is fully charged up.
Tap on the battery icon in the notification drawer to see either
reading (the time-until-charged information also appears on
the lock screen a few minutes after you've connected
your device to a power source).
8. Search settings and networks
Google's search bar is getting more ubiquitous with each
passing version of Android, and in Lollipop
it's made it into the Settings app.
Tap the magnifying glass icon to use it.
It can be a quick way of finding a particular option
you're looking for, especially if you don't already know what menu or
heading it's under. You can use the same feature
to bring up saved Wi-Fi networks too.
9. Enter Guest Mode
Sharing devices with other people
(friends, colleagues, family members, distracted children)
can be a real pain, but Lollipop's new Guest Mode eases it somewhat.
You can access Guest Mode by dragging down
the notification drawer, tapping on your user account avatar,
and then selecting Add guest from the menu
(or just Guest if you've been through the process before).
10. Improve text legibility
If you were wondering if the Accessibility
menu within Settings would get overlooked
in the Android 5.0 upgrade, there's a new experimental feature
here called High contrast text.
Essentially, it gives white or difficult-to-read
text a black outline when it's being viewed on a light background.
It's applied to the "OK Google"
text inside the home screen search bar, for example.
11. Chromecast more quickly
There's an official Chromecast app from Google that
lets you screencast from any device running
Android 4.4.2 or higher, but the functionality
is built right into Android 5.0, which is great
news for anyone with one of the compact streaming
dongles to hand. It's right in the notification
drawer—tap on the Cast screen icon to locate your Chromecast and begin screencasting.
12. Add trusted devices
A trusted device is a specified Bluetooth or
NFC-enabled gadget that will automatically
disable the security code or pattern on your your
Android phone or tablet when it's in range.
This means you don't have to fiddle around
unlocking the Lollipop device when you're at home
or in the car, for example.
Head to Settings -> Security -> Smart Lock to set up the feature.
13. Hang a 'do not disturb' sign
This works a little bit like the priority app notifications we
mentioned earlier, but it's based around times and
days more than apps.
Go to Settings -> Sound & notification -> Interruptions
to set it up—it's perhaps best used overnight when
you don't want to be disturbed, but there is the
option to let certain contacts through as well as messages and alarms, if necessary.
14. Get back to your apps after a reboot
If you reboot your device in any version of
Android before 5.0, all of your recently opened apps
will disappear. In Lollipop, they're still present
on the Overview screen,
so you can quickly get back to a previous conversation
or website if you need to (not all apps
will remember exactly where you were in the app).
To remove a card from the list, swipe it away to the left or right.
15. Play Google's Flappy Bird clone
Like earlier versions of Android, Lollipop has an
Easter egg to unlock. Go to Settings -> About phone
then tap quickly four times on the Android version entry.
Once the Lollipop graphic appears, tap quickly on it several
times then finish with a long press to launch a
clone of Flappy Bird with an Android robot in place
of the bird. It's just as frustrating to play as the original too.
16. Save the battery
Android 5.0 Lollipop includes a built-in battery saver mode
that you can get to kick in at 15 percent battery,
5 percent battery or never (you can also switch it on and off manually).
It cuts off some background syncing
and vibrations and makes various other tweaks as well.
If you select Battery from the Settings app you'll find
the battery saver on the menu behind the three vertical dots.

will work on lollipop nomone causing bootstuck

It won't save very much battery. Most of the juice is drained by the backlight.

Will it work on rooted stock lollipop, coz i dont want to get bootloop since i have no recovery installed, only rotted stock lollipop.

So, if we forgot to press default button and restart the device, we will get bootloop?

and use this app to re-boot or power off.
this will help for the boot loop.. and i never got any boot loop for over 20 time power off/reboot with this app.

on the latest update of this app have the check box name "Apply default before power off"
you can check to enable this box and do power off or re-boot with the "power Menu" button on this app.

Im too boring to restore my backup if its not gonna work i kill you [emoji14] kidding will try it right now!
1)Make something like recovery if this didnt work if the phone will force reboot it self (kernel crash battery end etc)
2)ok its working....but as i said at 1 im affraid what will happent if the phone reboots it self!
edit its not working...it restore the stock res and stick with it...even if i change the resolution and simply exit the app and reopen it the res is stock... :/
Edit2:its working i was wrong cause you cant get any difference between stock res and g3 battery...
Ss1 showing that the res stick after reboot to g3 battery
Ss2 showing that your app showing the stock res after reboot and not the g3 baterry that i choose
And also ss3 showing swiftkey bug bit im not sure of its your fault.

I will answer you one by one
Ss1. The resolution of the app in ss1 is minus the virtual button.. So you can use the nomone resolution changer to confirm it.
Ss2 the display resolution on this app is not the current setting. It is the resolution that you will use when hit the apply button.
Maybe next version will show the current resolution setting.
Ss3. I never seen the keyboard promblem like you.
I use normal lg key board.. And my htc m8 also not show this problem.

Why does this app Need Access to Media/Pictures?

I had stock 600dpi so it was kind of wrong also can you tweak a bit the res or the dpi cause some app don't play very well with this dpi....lux notification showing quite big Viber contact photo showing distorting also I'm using flat notification icon xposed and I can resize the status bar icons stock are quite big and showing outside of status bar...

Sorry, but I have to ask. What is the point in buying 2k display smart phone and decrease resolution? It makes no sense.

Theorectly saving battery....also we that didn't want Samsung and find htc more expensive bought g3 bit want the battery more than the unnoticed 2k res of the screen.

Anyone have a working .some Google Phone Dialer ?

I prefer the stock Google Phone dialer over all others. I tried to install several different .APK from the website with all the Google Phone downloads. But none of them would install or work.

I've been running Google Dialer with LG G6 for a couple of weeks... here's what I did...
1. Install the APK from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-google-dialer-t3557412
2. After installation, go into Settings, General, Phone Management, Apps.
3. Click the three dots menu and select Configure Apps.
4. Select Phone App, and change that over to the Phone with the blue background (the alternative is LG's Contacts) and click OK.
5. Click on the Special Access at the bottom of that screen. Select Modify System Settings and find the Phone app. Grant it rights to modify system settings.
6. I like to explicitly grant the phone app permissions now, rather than waiting for it later. So I granted all permissions up-front. Back out to the Apps screen and find the Phone app. Click permissions and flip the slider to the right to enable all permissions.
7. Launch the phone app and sign-in to your google account.
You may want to swap out the phone on the lock-screen and launcher as well...

I have not been able to swap out the phone shortcut on the lockscreen unfortunately. It seems the stock phone app is a default that can't be changed.
Thanks for the guide by the way. The stock phone app was aweful. Any way to get the Google contacts app too?

I installed google contact from APKMirror and it works like a charm…
I tried the same with google dialier, but it disappeared after being called once ! Will try again.

I have the APKMirror install of Google Dialer working just fine. Didn't run into the issue with dialer disappearing. However, I installed the Dialer from the XDA Forum that I referred to in a previous post.

I was able to swap out the phone by going to Settings, Display, Lock Screen, Shortcuts. From there tap on the phone icon (defaults to the far left) and an app list pops up. You need to select the "Phone" app with the blue icon - the green one is the LG-native phone app.

Thanks for the quick guide , it worked great. Finding it slightly sluggish for some reason though
The lock screen shortcut option only appears if you disable screen pin/fingerprint

Thanks, works great!

I am unable to change that default phone shortcut on the lockscreen no matter what I do.

I've always used Google Dialer v3.xxxx rc4 (forget the exact version but it's 3.something rc4), which is the latest version that is able to properly look up phone numbers of places by name on all my non-Nexus/Pixel devices

I just deleted them from the lock screen. Never use them anyway. Double press volume down opens the camera.

Huh, strange. Mine looks a bit different (see attachments). Maybe you're running an older version? My software version is V10e-TWN-XX

Hey Gewecht what colour is your in call back ground? I have a LG G6 I get a quick flash of the nice Google blue then it turns a not so nice Turquoise green.
I tried the work around in the Google Dialer main post but no luck as the G6 has no option to change the sim back ground colour. I'm guessing the only way is to disable the stock phone app which the option is greyed out!!
Cheers.

How do I make it so when I receive a call on my lock screen the blue color fills the top notification area and the navigation area at the bottom? See screenshot.

You go to the Settings app, go to Display settings, tap on App Scaling, find the app (it would be in 16:7.9 aspect ration) and tap it, and thusly make it a forced 18:9 aspect ratio. After this, your application should be formatted to support the LG G6's 18:9 display. Trust me, I had to do this with Lawnchair Launcher and a Pixel 2 Launcher (mod) in order to get it to all fit. I hope this helps you ??.
