Changes I noticed on 4.1.2 XXDLL4

These are some changes I noticed on the new 4.1.2 XXDLL4 ROM released for India.
1- Better browser performance. Now I see the browser like a 'real' desktop. I always had flash player installed but there were annoying white empty spaces in some websites, but now there is no more.
- Browsermark results (mobile view)
(Desktop view)
2- There is a three dot icon while calling. Don't know what it does or it's meaning!
3- Obviously the most flashy feature is the introduction of ink effects!
Different colour options are available, if you like
4- You can edit notification panel now, add or delete as per your wish. You can now permanently disable the Mutliwindow too. So holding the back button won't enable it anymore.
5- AnTuTu benchmark, if anyone is interested.
6- The number format in SMS is weird! It splits the number! Bad.
7- Sorry I don't find the continuous input prediction to be better, nor Swyping.
8- There is a cursor control option in keyboard settings, however you won't be able to use it with Continuous input!
9- And I hate the new 'slim' clock font introduced. Loved the previous bold look WAY better!
10- And I think the S Note application is faster than before now. It'd take 3/4 seconds to create a new note before, and it seems faster now, say 30%? Or am I wrong?
11- When the font size was selected as Normal the cursor was not seen in some applications like Tapatalk and others, but now it is fixed
So if you guys are noticing anything else kindly share here.

I think that the spaces between numbers are good? Easy to read.
Mine is BTU, nothing yet on Kies

One thing I noticed, a VERY welcomed addition i might add, is the Gallery "ACTUALLY ASKED ME!" If I wanted my Facebook photos to appear or not! Thank god for that haha.

Is there any Lag?
Zooming in gallery was laggy in poland 4.1.2
is it the Same Here ?

Here's my list
1. Camera feature: Hold Volume to focus, release to take photo
2. Video feature: Press Volume to start recording, press again to toggle flash.
3. 480p Flash Video Works (if you have latest Flash Player 11.1.115.34 Installed)
4. New Samsung Keyboard Feature: Cursor Control, Continuous Input (If you didn't already have it)
5. Customized Notification Toggle Icons
6. New Notification Toggles: AllShare Cast, Smart Stay, S Bean, Driving Mode, Blocking Mode
7. Brightness slider can now be disabled, but who would do this?
8. Stock web browser rendering improvements, seems to load pages faster, but I can't say for sure.
9. Ink Effect with S Pen on Swipe lockscreen, and customizable ink colors.
10. Gallery in normal list mode is now 3d rendered. When you flick it fast, the photos tilt.
11. Brightness control notification disappears at 5% battery. Don't like!
12. New save option for HDR shooting mode for camera. Save HDR only.
13. Write notes to front of the picture with polaroid type frame...
14. Video Player app's alphabetization is fixed.
15. Screen capture icon for Video Player app is changed.
16. Multi Window with Video Player adds sharpening to entire screen.
17. Bug fixed when full screening Video Player from multi window (no more notification bar).
18. S Planner has new post-it option.
19. Groupcast
20. Vibration and pop noises when Email is hovered with S Pen in Email app.
21. Handwriting recognition bug fix where it used to only first take in a few strokes interpret only the first few letters, then resume, but it would mess you up in the process. No longer an issue.
22. Click on the picture of your contact, in Contacts app, and it is integrated with services such as facebook, skype, maps, etc.
23. Set music in slideshow in gallery? Was that there in 4.1.1?
24. The slideshow music plays when you choose "Play continuous shot" in Gallery with photos taken in continuous shot mode.
25. In landscape mode in Gallery, the last shared option icon is present next to standard share icon in gallery. This may have been there in 4.1.1. Just seeing it for the first time because I probably don't share photos often.

I anyone in the UK getting the USA voice in voice search? It started happening before the update and I still doing it, which makes me think it's something on the storage that's screwed up perhaps?

I did quadrant test after the update and NoteII stood number one in the list as compared to 2nd spot before update. Made me happy :3

When I flash this Firmware via ODIN, will the cam firmware be updated?
When not, how can I update manuelly the cam firmware?
Excuse me for my bad english.

Its the same if you update via odin (using full stock rom) or via OTA update/samsung kies. I tried both methods successfully and the rear camera & phone FW versions remain same (i.e. ZKF107 & ZKFJ03 respectively).

[Q] Nexus 4 Photos Missing Data

My Nexus 4 seems a bit Hit & miss with its ability to take a good photo. The main problem appears to be missing data when the subject of the photo is moving. Attached an example. Is this a common and/or a known issue?

Thanks for the suggestion - but that's just another Instagram like app which I've already got a few of. It's the HDR option that looks to be the problem.

[Q] Please tell me why I bought this phone

Got an S4 today started playing with it and am really getting annoyed... I come from a long line of HTC devices and have never been this disgusted with a phone. All the cool bells and whistles are nice but I bought a phone to call people.. this phone takes way too many steps just to make a call. Where is the contact widget to simplify this to one touch. I have tried every contact widget on the market and either they dont work with touchwiz, have low res pictures, or they are really small icons. I know there is a small dialer app available on the phone but I dont want 8 individual little pictures of my contacts. I have tried Nova Launcher and it has what I am looking for but it has low res pictures. Also the contact app wont save my groups right I put 8 people in my favorite but if I try to use it in a contact widget it only shows 2 or 4 not the whole 8 that I put in it,,,,,,,
Ok now that I have vented I will ask the questions that I need.
1. Is there a contact widget like the one available in easy mode but high res (or better yet the one like htc sense one).
2. Why does the contact app keep forgetting who I put in a group.
3. When I link two contacts why does it not use the facebook picture as the contact picture on all contacts.
4. I want to keep this phone stock because I dont want to root it till I know I am going to keep it so don't suggest I root and go custom rom.
Thanks for any help.

Have you tried simple contact widget? It does a single 2x2 widget
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app

Looks like it would do what I want it to so I downloaded it and put it on a screen and it just says "no Contacts....initializing" for the past 10 minutes.

Finally got one to work while I was looking for the one you told me about. It is DW contacts it works great.

[Q] Replace Stock Gallery App with Quickpic?

I really dislike the default Samsung gallery app and I'm wondering if there's a way to specifically make it so Quickpic can be accessed through the stock camera app by pressing the preview button in the top left corner. Freezing/disabling the Gallery app does NOT prompt you to select a default gallery app when pressing the preview button.
Instead, it prompts this message:
(Because I can't post links to external images, see the first attachment.)
I should probably add that there are no permissions for gallery to open as the default gallery, so that's not the issue. (Quickpic is set as the default).
(Because I can't post links to external images, see the second attachment.)
Is there any possible way to get the stock camera app to use Quickpic as the default gallery? I'm rooted with no custom ROMs, just default TouchWiz.
Thanks in advance!

Nope

I'm sure he would've preferred that answer when the last reply in this thread was made.
A year ago.
Please don't revive old, dead threads.

I'm not posting this for the sake of OP, I'm posting it for anybody who asks the same question, gets directed to this topic by google, and gets disappointed by the NO answer - while in reality the answer is YES it's possible.
And by the way I've had the same question several years ago, when I had a Samsung Galaxy S, then again more than a year ago, when I got an S3. Didn't hear about Xposed then, so I just accepted "it's not possible" as an answer. So even a year later, the answer is still relevant and might be useful.

Unfortunately, I couldn't get it to work with my SGS3. From my understanding you should uninstall/freeze the default gallery app and next time you try to open the gallery from the Camera app, the phone should ask which app should be used to view the picture.

I tried freezing. It won"t work either. My problem is getting to albums from the Contacts app, when I need to add a picture to a contact. If I freeze the Gallery there will be no Image option in the Contact Photo window opened for selection of the photo source for a contact. It means I cannot get into my albums for photo selection. And since my contacts photo album is organized by name, I am having hard times when looking for a right photo for my contacts. QuickPic could solve this...
Don"t understand how this so basic and obvious feature is missing in such a complex and long time running on millions devices OS?

I feel your pain, I have similar idea. But maybe the blame is misdirected, the Contacts app comes from Samsung, doesn't it? They made some of their apps too tightly integrated with each other, not giving the user the flexibility to choose the gallery app. I'm planning to try another ROM (e.g. CyanogenMod) to get a look at the pure Android experience.

AirView with fingers?

How to activate AirView to work with fingers like on Note 3?

I also miss that feature especially with speed dial. I couldn't find the option anywhere. It seems to be no longer available

It only works with s pen
Sent from my SM-N910C using XDA Free mobile app

Yes ok, work only with pen but... It's an hardware limitation or just only software?

Seems like hardware to me. When you 'hack' into the hidden settings and enable air view it still doesn't work.

hi ,
there is a thread here " somewhere " ? (Note 4 forum, sorry can't find link at moment )
Best to find it hidden deep in settings is to use a launcher eg. Nova launcher
i tried to activate it ..Nova launcher /long press home screen /select shortcut /activities ..settings select airview (finger)
etc .
i could only get air browse to work 100%( waving above pictures in stock pictures app etc) and accept air call (by waving hand over stock call screen ( ,see screenshot for info)
but still struglling to sort out air finger to work .!
good luck

If you enable ALL the airview tags. Even the one that lists nothing, but still has a toggle switch. Then it does work with your finger, like in the email and message app. However, this stops working as soon as you switch off the screen!? One of the airview tabs causes the settings to crash. I'm sure it's not a hardware issue. Someone will incorporate it all in a sweet rom soon enough. Hopefully indie over at omega rom!

No Self-Capacitive sensor
Hello.
I am sorry to say this, but Samsung removed the self-capacitive touch screen layer from the Galaxy Note 4, because it was used very rarely.
They did not think, that there must be users, that still use this.
Well, power users are only a minority, so they must satisfy minimalists.
developer[dot]sonymobile[dot]com/knowledge-base/technologies/floating-touch/
As a Junior Member, I am unable to parse links. Please forgive me for this inconvinence
The Note 3 was the only one to have three touch screen layers:
Wacom Digitizer (S-Pen)
Normal (Mutual/Multi)-Capacitance
Self-Capacitance (AirTouch)
I hope this helped (Probably not)

Not to forget:
