Don't wait for Screen Recoring in our Galaxy Note II N7100 ...

Pretty sure that most of Note II usesrs were waiting for the screen recording option that Samsung already announced ...
we were thinking that future software updates will add that option....
but that will not happen as Samsung already declared it on their official website in FAQ section that they will not add that option due to potential copyright concerns in some regions.
here is the article :
[FAQs] Smart Phone : My Galaxy Note II , GT-N7100 does not support the Screen Recording function?
Although Galaxy Note II,GT-N7100 was introduced at IFA event in 2012 with a Screen Recording function.
Samsung have decided not to include this feature in the final product due to potential copyright concerns in some regions.
As a result, Samsung does not, at this time, have a Software upgrade plan for the Screen Recording function.

Ye i figured they had killed this idea, in my view it has more to do with current versions of Android than anything else. Consider how many screen recording tools are on the play store and how many of them work properly with JB... err none!
If you want to record your screen get an MHL cable and a HDMI capture card only full proof way right now to do screen capture.
Anyone else want to way in with screen recorder conspiracy theories or am I on my own on this one

I don't think people are waiting for Samsung to do it. They're waiting for someone to jack the apk somehow and leak it in the Internet so they can flash it into their phones.

Some people have got the APK and have been looking for how to implement it, but there appears to be a host of libs and framework files required that we simply do not have.
Without those additional files we cannot use it.
The best alternative is to use Screencast, but root is required.

Soooo..... Are they going to remove the screenshot feature as well? Maybe disable the microphone? Axe the camera too... prevent any files from being download to the device?
I think Sammy just fed us a steaming spoonful of BS.

Torrents can still be downloaded to a device, much easier and better quality. You can also use the video camera feature if you're separate, but really, who uses recoding for pirating video? They can disable audio and problem solved. Our reduce it to 15fps... or a dozen other things, but they should remove or completely.
I need screen casting to help debug apps, not to pirate videos. Lots of people have legitimate uses.

Encryption and Finger Print sensor

Is it possible to encrypt the device and still use the finger print sensor?

I would love to know this as well. I know the S5 did not work that way. I hope this does as I work in a HIPAA complaint business that has to have the phone encrypted. Thats the one thing I do like about the iphone is it comes encrypted therefor the fingerprint reader works with encryption.

I have heard that in Android 5.0 they are going to have encryption on by default.

I have read the same thing. Here is a brief article on it. Well I guess I cannot post links but I am sure a simple Google search will show you the same thing lol. Hope Samsung gets the update to the Note 4 pretty quickly.

From what I saw Samsung wants to get Lolipop out by the end of the year.

Though, encryption will only be on by default on new devices. Hopefully the change in Android 5 will still mean that encryption will be possible with fingerprint security only.

Does settings from video still work? I could manage to encrypt with fingerprint enabled. Could you please post some tutorial? Or is it just because I have Snapdragon? Thanks

you can enable "force long display" to always open apps in 18:9 screen ratio.
ps: this will disable the app scaling feature as it'll always be 18:9..
there are other usefull stuff too like disabling LDB app which will free up some ram (about 100 mb). and other stuff..

Does anyone have the code for the Canadian version?

Don't know, but on my phone i entered *#546368#*872# (different than I've seen in thread so far) because my model is an h872. Maybe you need to substitute the 3 digits for whatever you have?

I still don't quite understand the inner workings of how LG makes the app scaling work. If you switched DPI to <500 via adb it basically stops working, BUT so far I've not seen one app with weird graphics, even netflix: all i have to do is press the maximize button a second time when the video is playing full screen and the black bars go away.

Disable camera shutter sound

Is anyone who knows how to silent shutter sound?

malaccio said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I googled this when I first got the phone and it seems in Korea they make the phones so you CAN'T disable the shutter sound. (It is illegal)
My work around was to download a silent camera app from the play store for moments when you do not want folks to know you are taking photos. :good:

I rooted mine and changed the shuttersound.ogg to .ogg.bak no more sound.

I think I should root my note..
But I have doubts regarding some "secure" apps could not work cause they chek if the phone is rooted.. I m taljing about bank app, pay tv app (Sky in italy)..
Anyone have a experience with these apps?
Another question, for root permission I understood I have to flash a twrp recovery as well, true?
If one day I want to return "stock", is it sufficient to flash the stock firmware by Odin?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kmshack.mute
I don't know if it works on the new S8 Software, but on my Galaxy S7 with Nougat it works perfectly :laugh:
In a few days i can test it on my Note FE

Try this!
No need to do any rooting to your Note FE
I live in Korea and there are a lot of application which disable the sound from stock camera.
Copy this word and check it out on ggplay

Read the instructions in the OP here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-fe/development/root-note-fe-t3648736. As rooting involves disabling sm-verity, you will not be able to use any app that requires a fully secure device. Remember to backup your device with TWRP before you modify it.
You can flash stock via Odin when you want to return. Bear in mind that you will lose whatever modification(s) you made to disable the shutter sound.

Try out this App. It will automatically disable/enable the system volume if you start/close the Stock camera or other Apps you have selected in the App Settings. You need no root for this App!

No disrespect intended but the article you documented is quite old and I've owned a number of devices since 2013. I have no jail broken or rooted devices and still can turn the shutter off on all of them.

Well see like the phone recording laws you have to go and look on a per state basis. Just because it can do something doesnt mean it is legal in all cases. Like many places require that you get peoples permission before taking phones at a public event. It all depends on your state.
Yes it is old. But that is on purpose. It was the basics for anyone that wants to know more to start off on.

Works perfect, nearly lost hope to get rid of that annoying shutter sound.

Yeah this is annoying...

This seems to be a known issue, which I believe is due to depreciated/removed shortcut features.
Haven't gone so far as to look up reasons the new shortcut model or widgets can't be used. However, the moderator from the Samsung forum did give us a shed of hope. At the very least, the software team is aware of our wishes and considering granting them. It's not reimplemented yet, but I'm hopeful!
As a new user I am unable to post links, so here is the https url for the samsung form where a moderator mentions it's a known issue, and oreo change log which mentions dropped shortcut features.

Edit: just realized this is a month old. Sorry for bumping. Read the year and dom and though it was still active. Though, on that note, when do most users consider a thread dead on XDA? Didn't see it mentioned in the rules or a quick scroll through the noob guide.

And it didn't work for chrome shortcut either....
