Great feature that came from note 7 - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion

One of the great feature is the ability to draw a box over a video and convert it into gif.
Finally I found the same feature in S8. It is hidden inside the edge panels - smart select.
The S8 is great after using it for half a day

[Q] S-Pen multitouch

Hey there,
I just ordered my Note yesterday (coming back to xda-developers after switching to nokia for a few years ) and trying to spend the time while waiting for it.
I have seen some videos about the S-Pen capabilities to take screenshots, and show the menu etc... but I was wondering if it had a way to pinch/zoom in it.
If not any alternatives in doing this while holding the pen or you typically put the pen aside zoom and pick it up again ?
thanks
I believe you can zoom on a selected image / cropped image using both pen or fingers.
If I remember - there are six indicators on the image (3 on the left and right on the right) of whatever you select - they are small black arrows in a round circle which can be used for resizing the image or moving them around.

[Q] Port of S6 (Samsung Galaxy S6) Quick Camera

Does anyone know of an application that can mimic the S6 quick launch camera by double tapping home button even when in the lock screen. Is there anyone who is thinking about making a port to the Note 4 of the quick camera of the Galaxy S6. I am sure that the community would be grateful, I know I will be Don't want to buy an S6 just for that feature. There must be a way of porting it. At the moment I am using home2 shortcut but it does not work in lockscreen when the fingerprint scanner is on.

Guide : how to get the Note 8 App pair EDGE Panel on your S8 or S8 plus without root.

So I have been looking around for the a way to get the App pairing edge panel off the Note 8 on my S8 plus and ran into a free app called Split screen creator on the app store. Did my like the way it set till I started thinking maybe I can add those shortcuts to one of the panels and sure thing the Tasks Edge panel let's you add those shortcuts to it and here you go you have the same exact thing as long as the apps paired support multi window. I take no credit as the app is not mine at all I just did the homework and it works great no root needed or anything and I just thought I would share that with anyone who wants the same panel as me. Also once you're done adding the shortcuts to the Tasks Edge panel you can remove them from your home screen or any screen you have them on and they still work in the panel. Thank you and hope that you guys enjoy. Anyone have a question please ask

[App] Edge Lighting fix for all Apps with screen off (ACTUAL Edge Lighting)

Get actual Samsung Edge Lighting Notifications with any app while your screen is off!​
Since we all know Samsung only did half the job with this feature, this app will enable you to trigger Edge Lighting (the real one !) when your screen is off. It works with any app by reading the app notification creating a new temporary notification that triggers edge lighting (you won't notice it in your notification list).
You can set custom color filters for your apps, based on their names.
Real Samsung Edge Lighting
Extremely minimal battery drain
No fake AOD Screen
Works with ANY app (including Messenger!)
Initial setup is a bit tedious, but that's mostly Samsung's fault.
Any suggestion to improve the app is -of course- welcome!

Thanks.
Working perfectly on note 8.
Works perfectly on my note 9 ?
Great job man !
Warning : there is a new version of the app ont the Play Store, but it is actually a new app because, for whatever reason, Play Console started to reject my updates...
The first post has been updated with the new link.
You have to set it up again, but I've implemented the search function so it will be super fast
Great, thank you, Note 8 and 9

Does this app only notify once when you get a notification or does it also make the Edge Lighting come on at intervals until you check the notifications?

No it just works only once like regular Edge Lighting does.
It's a very required feature so I've been thinking about it. But every solution I've tried so far is way too heavy on the battery since I have to wake the phone up every time I wanna trigger edge lighting (which would typically be less than every minute). You don't wan't to get a text 5mn after you go to sleep and have your battery empty by morning (which could make you very late for work).
I think solutions that only use AOD like HoleyLight or AOD notifications are the way to go if you want a reminder for unread notifications.

I wanted continuous reminder with Edge Lighting, like every 30 seconds until I check the notification, I've been using an app called Always On Edge - Edge Lighting and it works very doesn't eat up battery at all, plus when I go to bed my phone goes on the charger and DND is turned on, the Edge lighting doesn't come on. Using on my Note 9.

Yeah I know about Always on Edge and I find it way too battery hungry.
Hi dude, I appreciate your work. If you support note FE, I would be glad to it.
What happened to the LED style reminder mode? I was keen as for that.
It was listed in the app description on Google Play as to be coming in mid-July but I noticed all of that has been removed out of the text recently.
On my Note 10, i set it for Whatsapp Business but it's still showing the default purple instead of the green which i set. Any workaround this ? Cheers mate. Nice app. @Zunderstruck
Really love the app, as it is exactly doing what i expected the Samsung Edge Lighting feature to do by default.
Unfortunately i have the same problem as @trapcoder666. The custom set colors get replaced by the color set for your app.
I followed this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s10/how-to/galaxy-s10-s10-debloat-bloatware-t3912073 and lost edge lighting icon and option under Display in s10. Is it associated with Bixby? Any way to bring it back?
Thanks so much for this! Works great on Android 10. I'll buy the premium version soon to remove ads but to also support you as this is genuinely a very useful app.

GIF maker from S10?

On the S8, S9, and S10 series of Galaxy phones from Samsung (and probably others), their edge bar has an option for creating GIF's. What it does is you can pick the rectangle or circle, and it puts that shape on your screen, dimming everything outside of it, and places a record button below it. You can then watch a video, view something through your camera, mess around in an app, or do whatever but whatever is inside that shape on your screen will be recorded and saved to a GIF file. You can also resize and reposition that shape so you can get exactly what you want.
Does anyone know if there's an app similar to this that I can get? I used the crap out of this on my S10 and its literally the only thing i miss about that phone.
I really just need something that'll record a square of my size that i can move around on my screen, thats it... If it even exists...
This is wrong section pal
This is the apps section right?
