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.

Can someone check the ram available please ? 755mb max ?

Isn't that dependant on what apps you have installed and individual set ups?

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 have 780MB with the ATT stock rom. I will update later to 4.1.2 and see if it changes.

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.

Constant TouchWiz Popup when Home button is pressed

sorry, if this has been brought up, I searched, but didn't find any threads.
Anyways, I would say about 40-50% of the time when I press the Home button, I get this popup
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

}
and after I press "TouchWiz Home" I'd hit "Always" and then I get this:
this constantly popups up... well.. again, maybe every other time I hit the Home button... it's quite annoying... can any advice me what do to?
thanks in advance for any tips/advice

Not a dumb question at all, Push and hold the home button, select the little globe in the bottom left, once you go thru to the next screen, scroll accross to CLEAR DEFAULTS and choose Touch Wiz and hit clear, exit out then try setting TW again and pressing Always.

okay, so I'm there, but I don't see TW to clear

When you press the home button the TW asks you to set Just once/ Always yes? -- if you choose always it should store it in there as a default. -
OK, try settings > general > application manager > choose ALL then scroll down to TW - choose TouchWiz Home - It should show 850KB or so in size, If not clear cache then clear data, hit force stop, reboot your phone and see if it stores the data this time.

Ok for some bizarre reason it isn't storing local data, I'm at a bit of a loss.
What Model number do you have? and what firmware are you running? - rooted also? any mods installed recently or other launchers?
when you went to cache, did it show 850kb or so in the app itself? as if it was storing the data at all?
You could try a factory reset. I know it isn't ideal and it bugs me when I have had to do one previously. It may fix it. 9 out of 10 times it does.
EDIT: I'm at work so my replies may be a little sporadic or so, but I'll be around to help.

okay, so I ended up just doing a factory reset... and in the process... there was a system update. I have a feeling when I got the phone at the store, I was flying through the setup process and skipped it. As of right now, it looks like it's working fine :fingers-crossed:
thanks again for all your help... I'm going to pass this along because apparently I wasn't the only one with this issue

Ahh cool, least you got sorted, No problem man. Enjoy the phone

okay... so I wanted to post an update. Truthfully, the issue started up AGAIN! I was sooooo annoyed, I didn't want to post because I figured it was frustrating others reading my issue. Apparently, I wasn't the only person having this issue. I did some search and came across a thread over at Android Central...
here's the thread: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...lete-action-using-touchwiz-easy-home-huh.html
anyways, the trick is to uninstall the latest version of Google Search update. JUST TO CLARIFY, this does NOT mean you're actually uninstalling Google Search (because, I mean... there's no way I'd ever use Bing or Yahoo search :laugh: )
You go to your Google Play Store, search "Google Search" and the app will come up... it's already installed so you'll get the options of "Open" or "Uninstall".... You click on "Uninstall" and ONLY the latest version of Google Search will be uninstalled... Google Now, Google Search WILL still be there... But this issue will be gone
So, needless to say, the latest version of Google Search has some kind of bug with TouchWiz or whatever.
Hope this help others in the future

Yes im having this issue too and reverting back to the older version is the solution. This phone has given me many bugs. Totally aint worth the money.

I had this problem and then removed the updates. However, I now see a new update for Google Search dated January 9, 2014. Has anyone tried this update to see if the problem persists?
Maybe tonight I will give it a go.
Thanks

No more touchwiz problem
:good: After upgrading Google Search to the January 9, 2014 yesterday, I have had no more problems with Touchwiz Home stopping notice. It has been about 24 hours since I updated it.
I guess Google resolved the bug.

I'm facing this issue after update to kitkat. I can't uninstall google search update as the version installed in the rom is the last one. Pop up is very boring What can I do ?

Textra Doesn't display all the way to the top?

Hey guys,
I use textra as my standard messaging app. It seems like it gets cut off on the s8's display, not going all the way to the top. It leaves a black space between the top of the app and the notification bar. Not sure if this is a textra issue that needs to get updated or an app viewing setting somewhere in the s8 that I'm missing. Either way it sure would be nice if that dead space went away lol
Anybody know any tricks?
Cheers!
Edit: Apps this happens in I've found so far
Textra
theChive
Various banking apps
I'm thinking it's something with the individual apps not being able to display in a certain aspect ratio? Dunno.
A little extra testing showed that this is independent of launcher used. I didn't think it would have an effect but figured I would give it a shot anyways. I used the google now launcher with no difference.

Try Settings, display, full screen apps. Toggle the individual program to be full screen. Should solve the problem.

Problem solved! No idea why this is an option I need to check. Bought the phone for a full screen, why would i not wanna utilize that full screen? lol

Programs aren't made to this aspect ratio yet. There could be glitches. You choose full screen you deal with the consequences.

Have you noticed when you receive a text message and you click on it from the notification screen it makes you swipe to open still? I have the AT&T version and this annoys me.
Like any notification you tap it and instead of opening the phone it goes to a blurry screen and makes you swipe again.

yeah, I wish apps went all the way by default when you install them, and if they don't work that way, I can go in an turn off. I have to go in and turn them all on at the beginning which is annoying.

I just watched your video closely. So you are talking about opening the textra message from the lock screen by double tapping? yeah, mine makes me unlock the phone too. I have iris scanner and FP setup. so if I double tap the message from the lockscreen, I have to unlock the phone first to see it or reply to it. I think that's pretty standard.
You can setup reply boxes on the lock screen. I haven't played with it much but I think it'll let you reply with a locked phone. Check out the heads up floating notification section under "when locked"

did you not have lockscreen security setup on your pixel? I know on my OnePlus One running 7.1.2, if I don't have any lockscreen security (just set to swipe), I can do what you are trying to do. But I think anytime you setup a pin, pattern, fp, etc., you have to insert in those unlocking methods first.
OR, did you have some kind of smart unlock setup on your Pixel that you haven't on your S8 yet? like proximity (home), connection (bluetooth or wifi), etc?

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...

Thanks for the guide by the way. The stock phone app was aweful. Any way to get the Google contacts app too?

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

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

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...

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.

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.

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 ??.

Try aspire c9 rom..i didnt lose focus while navigating on the second screen..example, playing video on 1st screen, then navigate to other apps like file manager on the 2nd screen, the video on 1st screen does not stop nor paused..i experience that it stopped on aosp based roms.

I dont know about that..but could you test App cloner apk and give feedback..i also wonder if its work or not..

I just want the apps in splitscreen without interruptions
I installed LineageOS 14.1 on my moto G2. I like using one more app at the same time. The thing is, when I play a video, or even play a game in one screen and just tap on the other app, the game or video will pause.
An apparent workaround I found out for this is to tap on the video app or game, and without letting go use the other app, so that you interact with two apps at the same time, making Android keep both focused/active.
So I went over to Xpodes repo, and tried to look up a module that would make Android think both apps are active, I suppose even though it seems both apps are running the same timewhen in split mode, I'm afraid Android just puts an overiay on the inactive app just to look normal.
Aspire C9 ROM was suggested in this thread, but it's a Samsung-only ROm. So I'll do my research for that ROM or other for my phone. If any of you has found out a more comfortable workaround than the one I described please do let me know. Thanks in advance.

Sorry for cemmenting here. Didn't notice this was a Samsung thread, discussing the issue on Touchwiz ROMs. I just saw it above this thread title when I came back to read your reply. I wrote in here because I've been googling this issue for a solution since this Friday, but haven´t even found almost any solution but just explanations why that happens. I figured out myself the workaround I described in my previous post.

hi if you have xposed framework installed you can install the multiwindow module skyolinhelper it lets you open as many active multi windowed apps as you like simultaneously.

im not sure which versions of android xposed framework works smoothly with these days but i am using ultimate rom on my samsung galaxy note 3 which is kitkat 4.4.2 and skyolinhelper and its version of multi window works perfect. ive tried skyolinhelper with lollipop and i could only put about 20 apps available for opening in multi window mode with android 4.4.2 all my apps are available to open in multi window and i can open several apps and move them and use them together freely.
