Hey guys,

Nah man, the S5 looks better... Lets be real, i mean you opinion is your and i respect but how is it a useless port? i personally like the S5 Weather App WAY better. I cant be the only one.

Doubt your going to get the actual S5 weather widget on your S8...but you could always use one of those WYSIWYG apps to do it. There are a lot out there that have the S5 widget as part of them. I am sure there is probably an app that looks like the S5 widget out there too.

Hi. Agree and totally miss my S5 vibrant and timely weather widget. Anyone find a solution?

Hey all I thought I was only one trying to get the S5 accuweather widget on my S7. Been getting jerked around by Samsung who says it won't work on android 7.0. Google people were nice but couldn't help, accuweather customer service via email only stinks & they claim they didn't make the app/ widget a 3rd party developer did. I just sent them another email with their news story announcing s5 weather and Samsung together made preinstalled app. WTF... why can't we get whatever we want on our phones that cost us $700. This is b.s.. anyone have a clue how to get this without root. Thanks.

If you look at this screenshots below, the fourth icon (in the notification bar) from the left/button of the screen is to make screenshots. It's the square with the brackets on each corner.

Kinda its called that because im trying to make my rom look like the sgs4 and I wanted to base the rom name on it and I remembered that the sgs4 chipset was called snapdragon 600 and the name sounded great so thats how it got the name.
hey
Want to test it too. Look amazing.
I would love to be a tester
since only 9 people wanted to test it all 9 of you get to test it
Count me in, wanna see if it'll work smoothly with the korean s2 variants. I'm using SHW-M250S converted into a GT-I9100
its based on xwlss?
Haven't tried it yet, but wanna ask if Polaris is still installed?
Works very good and smooth, but I can not update cento apps. It wants me to start it over and over again.
i've seen this one day too late, but i really want to try this rom
is there the possibility, that i may become a tester too
hello
I would like to try this great rom on my galaxy s2.
What should I do to have it?

[Q] S memo on Galaxy Note 3

Hey everyone,
I am Francesco and I am new to the forum so I apologize if I am posting in the wrong placing or else...
I am a a Galaxy Note fan. I had the Note 1 and now have the Note 3. However, what I loved the most about the note 1 was the S memo app, and in particular its on screen widgets, which, differently from what happens with action memos in note 3, could be of more sizes, you create many off etc etc... I realky dont understand why Samsung would get rid of the S memo app and I am personally trying to get it back.
I tried installing the apk... I can create widjets but the app doesnt actually work.. any tip? Maybe rooting the devicd? I'd do whatever to have S memo back!

The GN3 is my first note, but have you looked at both the Action Memo and the S Notes apps? It seems like the features you described are closer to S Note, but maybe I am misunderstanding you.

The S note app comes really close but doesnt offer widjets for a single note to be looked at directly on the screen and thats what I used to use s memo for.. I am tempted to dowbgrade to the note 2...

It's not widget. It's the Action Memo that you can open directly from Air Command when you detach your S Pen (if you haven't disabled Air Command in Settings).

Galaxy labs on nougat

Hi there
My father has an s7 edge g935f and i installed nougat beta for him.
He used the galaxy labs unified homescreen without app drawer
This nice option doesnt seem to be there im the beta
Is there any other way to reactivate it ?
Is samsung going to add that again? Cuz note 7 also had that with grace ux but our ugly grace ux doesnt have that?

When you press and hold you homescreen there should be an option called Home-Screen settings bellow on the right side I read somewhere that some people have that option and some don't have this option maybe thats a bug from the beta unfortunately for me it's the same I don't have it, for me it shows just the Screen-Grid option. Look for yourself and maybe you're lucky.

It has been purposefully removed by Samsung and won't see its return anymore.

I think you've installed some other application named Good Lock. I'm pretty sure it's not Samsung's "Good Lock".
Look at the developer/editor and if it doesn't say Samsung, it's not the Good Lock you wanted.

I remember when the Note7 came out, it took a little while before Goodlock was available. I think this was primarily because they had to make it compatible with the iris scanner. I think I was able to use the version on APK mirror with some success before the Note7 version was released, but I don't have an s8 to try it now. Use at your own risk.
Edit: I removed the link because Goodlock isn't compatible with Android 7.0
Note 7 was 6.0, Good Lock is NOT compatible with 7.0+
I miss it too!

Bummer. I see that now. I guess they saw it as a failed experiment? I personally liked the text clock style on the lockscreen a lot.
i been useing ZUI Locker-Elegant Lock Screen but sam as the goodlock , it wont show as full screen maybe needs an update due to our screen resolutions
