I have seen quite a few people managed to port the Galaxy Note 3 camera onto the Galaxy S3. I want to do the reverse.
I have been trying to get the galaxy S3 camera to work on the Note 3. This is because the Note 3 camera app does not make proper use of the excellent camera on the note 3. quite a few of the manual modes are missing especially the "low light" mode.
So far I have been able to extract the apk from the S3 and installed it in on my note 3. however I can only do it by removing the stock Note 3 camera apk. It works well and I can take photos and use the low light mode. however the ui is all over the place due to different screen resolutions(eg, the camera button is in the middle of the screen.)
Does anyone know how to port the S3 camera onto the note 3 so that 1) it registers as a separate program and 2) resize icons and 3 fix layout issues.

Try changing the DPI of that app using App Settings in Xposed Framework. If you fix it so that the DPI matches the DPI on the S3, it may display better.
Give it a shot

Thanks. I found this http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...app-layout-and-dpi-settings-xda-developer-tv/
This may work. but I was thinking of making the apk work rather than changing my phone to suit the camera app. Also, this does not address the problem where I cannot have the original Note 3 camera and the galaxy s3 camera apps installed together.

You don't essentially change your phone, App Settings is a system module that changes individual apk's DPI and not the whole phone's if you don't want it to.
Also you can't have the same app because the signature is the same. "com.sec.camera" in /system/app, if you change this you may be able to run both at the same time without uninstalling one.
Thanks, I managed to change the name of the app. it now can be installed along the stock camera app. however, something went wrong in the unpack/repack process. it seems to FC everytime when I open it.
any tips?
Guys, Please let me know ur opinions or answers for below mentioned queries.
1)Is it possible to enable face detection in ported n5 gallery(people tagging)?
2)Is it posible to increase call log numbers storage to be set to unlimited(currently limited to 500). I use Superbackup to backup the calllogs and it always show the number 500.
3)which file is responsible for dialler in ported roms? I have to switch only dialler from one rom to another(both are ported n5 roms).
4)Will the new always on feature ported to note 4(i guess it is software thing and is practical for amoled plus screen since only few pixels were litted), missing that feature from symbian days
5)Does anyone tried appsharing feature in dual boot between a AOSP and touchwiz rom? Is it possible to share call log, contacts and sms between dual roms(ie., data should be at common place and both roms should be able to access same set of data so that even in case of rom switch data wont be missed)
6)will we ever able to set Custom shutter speed in note 4 camera? using ported apps or mods?
7)Which is the best firewall solution for note 4?
8)100$ VR Gear which has official compatibility with Note 5 and s6 will support note 4? If yes only on stock rom or ported roms are fine?
Will add some more questions which i cannot remember now!
Hi,
I installed the MyaROM S7 port from HTC mania on my note 4 (N910F), love the rom only problem is the fingerprint scanner doesn't work it does say this in the Rom description, just wondering if there's a way I could enable it like is there a file I could flash that would get it working?
Also another feature that isn't there is the handwriting mode on the Samsung keyboard no option to automatically switch to it when I pull the S-pen out either. While it isn't a massive deal as I don't often use the S-pen to type it's nice to have if I do decide to use it so is there a way I could get that feature maybe install the note 5 keyboard somehow?
You have to use a Samsung stock rom to have those features, unless there's a custom rom out there that I'm not aware of that have these features
Yesterday, I found some time to try a retail demo G6 and compared to the Galaxy S6, however, the demo G6 I tried wasn't connected to Wi-Fi, so I couldn't test some things. out.

(I have a few questions for any of you who own a LG G6 or other LG phone running their version of Android 7.0 so expand the description if you want to see those questions)
I found a demo LG G6, and decided to try it out, to find out that...
LG actually uses the Google emoji from stock Android!!! Yes!!!!!
Unlike that Sam-suck Galaxy S8 that uses their crappy and hard to read emoji that I absolutely hate.
I also found that LG's version of Android also has custom font support. Hopefully it's actually using FlipFont, because if that's the case, I could load my custom Comic Neue font package that I have on my Galaxy Tab A and use that.
(Does LG's Android use FlipFont or another font system where I can easily create a custom font package to use there?)
LG's Android also has custom theme support, so hopefully there's a theme that can make it look like stock Android 7.0, but sadly, the demo G6 I tried wasn't connected to WiFi. I already know LG's custom launcher has 2 versions, one with an app drawer and one without.
(Is there a theme for LG phones that can make it look like stock Android?)
Another thing I didn't notice in reviews on YouTube is that the power button is combined with the fingerprint sensor. Nice!!
Plus, LG's Android does have user changeable DPI settings. Hopefully that setting doesn't only affect LG apps.
One thing I forgot to check is if LG's Android has a blue light filter, which CyanogenMod does have.
(Does LG's version of Android have some kind of blue light filter or "night mode"?)
Even then, I'm probably not gonna upgrade my phone this year, because I had already gone through so much trouble trying to sign back in to all my apps after transferring to the Galaxy Tab A WiFi+cellular, unless there is an Android app (that does not require root) that can actually preserve app data so I would be able to continue right where I left off after switching to a new phone.
With that, I am considering getting a G6 (in silver or black, 64GB) (either that, or I might wait for either the G7 or whatever the next OnePlus will be called) but want to ask some questions, mainly pertaining to the software experience, which is my main deciding factor when it comes to buying an Android device.
Anyway, just open the spoiler thing above if you don't understand why I'm asking the following questions.

1: No idea
2: kind of, but apparently the text color in the settings is tied to to the one in the notification shade so you tend to get both of them either with a dark or a light color. Check the themes forum.
2: Yes

I tried, but I couldn't find it.
Closest I found was a "Pixel" theme, but I think I might be able to combine that with Nova Launcher + one of those stock Android icon packs for 3rd party launchers + Google Gboard + a bunch of stock Android apps that Google has uploaded to the Play Store, to get as close to stock Android as possible, or I might wait for LineageOS or another custom rom with the stock Android UI to be released for the G6.
(I do like using Nova Launcher Prime because one of the things it allows me to do is to hide a number of the Samsung apps and bloatware on my Galaxy Tab A, plus I can hide the app drawer behind a double tap gesture)

You can actually hide apps in the stock launchers too.
Hi everyone! I just picked up an unlocked US version S8 (SM-G950U1) and I know we're waiting on root for it, so there are annoying things I can't customize the way I want to yet (eg, disabling "peek" / heads up notifications while still allowing the notification to make a sound) and now I just noticed after taking a series of photos that my Gallery no longer seems to have the row of thumbnail images displayed below the current image I'm viewing. I use this all the time to quickly toggle between similar images and pick my favorite(s) / select some of them for mass deletion as I scroll through them.
I have Gallery on an S5 running Android 4.4.2 and Gallery 1.0.73 on a Note Edge running on Android 6.0.1, and they both have the row of thumbnails below the current image, by default. Screenshots from both phones attached, as examples. I tried to install the older versions of Gallery from those two phones onto my S8, but of course they're not compatible with nougat, so I got an error and nothing installed.
I can't find a setting on my S8 anywhere (as part of Gallery settings or not) to re-enable the feature. Anyone have any thoughts? This is with Gallery version 5.3.05.301 and Android version 7.0 (build AQE3). Other helpful ideas including ways to force this functionality via adb (or someday, once we can root?!) and other gallery apps that DO offer this functionality would also be gratefully received
There are enough annoying things with this phone that I'm seriously considering returning it. Please convince me otherwise!
