XXBLL7 Android 4.1.2 Official Firmware Change Log

Now that XXBLL7 Android 4.1.2 Official Firmware is available for our cameras it would be interesting to see what changes it brings. As usual it's a hunt and track down for changes to upgrades but maybe we can compile a list?
So far I noticed there is now 4 new scenes in SMART mode...
"FOOD" - Take pictures that emphasise the vivid colours of food
"DAWN" - Take pictures that emphasise the dawn sky by making the blue more intense
"SNOW" - Take pictures that emphasise the brightness of snow by making the white more intense
"PARTY/INDOOR" -Take pictures of parties or other indoor activities without blurring
Also:
You can set an option to not automatically fire up the camera when you power on - very pleased by this one!
An icon has appeared on the notification bar - a battery with a recycle sign - to tell you that you have enabled 'Smart Network' mode (turns off network functions when screen is off)
Updated versions of Samsung built in apps naturally
Still looking...
Sadly the storage card dialog still pops up on a cold boot
Remote Viewfinder still not working

I want to flash this firmware, but can it be rooted?

Since I've rooted my Camera with Exynos Abuse, it says it is non-standard and refuses to tell me about any updates. Do I need to back out everything before it will notice the update? Does the abuse hole still exist after the update?

Check in settings-about device-Status If "Device Status" says "Custom" then you will not receive OTA updates. Mine says "Custom" as I rooted with odin. I don't know if Exynos Abuse changes the device status.

Is French language included in this firmware ?
Thx

I've just tried to, straight after flashing "without wipe" and the Exynoss Exploit APK from Chainfire fails to Root, but I'm going to do a wipe and see if it's a problem with some residual files or something.
Update:
With ExynosAbuse 1.40, although it detects the device as Exploitable, it's unable to Root the device.

Can't root with Exynos Abuse 1.40... But Auto-Root is working fine !
Could you check amount of ram ? I have now 755mb, and before i remember (or i'm drunk) that i had 768mb
Strange...

I downloaded from Samfirmware and installed through ODIN although I lost root I was able to re-root successfully again using chainfire's method.

there are a few other settings in smart mode which are snow, home party or something, there is also a weather app that has been installed

There's a setting in the settings menu called power that I didn't notice before, that allows you to choose when the device shuts itself down. Another thing I've found is that you don't have to keep enabling voice control in the camera app every time you close and open it now.
And just the general responsiveness seems better in the camera app too.

Can someone check the ram available please ? 755mb max ?

Isn't that dependant on what apps you have installed and individual set ups?

He is talking about the max available RAM on the device that is usable.
I don't have the galaxy camera, but the RAM amount can indeed change (The S3 had 7xxMB with ICS and now has 8XXMB in JB)

Ah, OK. In that case the total I have is 755Mb since the update.
Hope that helps.

Yeah, the value you have when you long press home (Samsung task killer).
In 4.1.1 it seems to me that i had 768 instead of 755.
After Odin update, i also had another 'camera update' during few minutes, on the 1st boot (specific to Galaxy Camera ?)

I have 780MB with the ATT stock rom. I will update later to 4.1.2 and see if it changes.

I've currently set the camera up with a lockscreen so it doesn't extend the lens when I hit the power button, but also, if the last thing the camera had open was the home screen, it opens back up in the home screen when I unlock the device.

Tips and Tricks
Lockscreen:
1. Double click on the lock image (the area marked in the first picture below) can switch between music player and lockscreen.
2. Long press on Back key in lockscreen mode (without a password) can enter camera. You can find this function in Complete Settings——Buttons & keys.
3. Long press on Home button in lockscreen mode can turn on the flashlight. Press for three seconds until the phone vibrates, and the screen will turn black and the flashlight will remain on. To turn it off, just press anywhere on the screen.
4. Press volume up key and back key together can unlock the phone (without a password).
Call and Messaging:
1. You may have some important message in your SMS inbox, and want them to be the first ones you see when entering SMS. That indeed can be done. Just check the messages you need, and press Pin.
2. There're messages you don't want others to see? Add them to Private Message! Keep pulling the SMS page down and you'll enter the Private Message page.
3. When others ask you for another person's contact information, you may have to memorize it or take note of it and then tell them. But with MIUI, you don't have to go through all these trouble.
4. When sending group messages, we used to have to address all the receivers by the same name, and it sometimes seem to be a little impersonal. But with MIUI, those times have come to an end.
5. With MiCloud service, you can send messages from the computer. Just log into http://i.xiaomi.com
6. When there's an incoming call, the ringtone will automatically increase if you don't answer it in 30 seconds.
7. I beleive most of you have the experience of getting annoying sales calls. But when there's an unknown number calling, you have to answer in case it's something important. With MIUI, you can easily tell whether you should answer a call or not.
8. If two people both use the MIUI system, they can send free messages and pictures via the Internet.
9. If a call is important, you can record it or take notes of important contents.
10. Sometimes you forgot to switch your phone mode to Vibrate or Silence in a meeting or during an important conversation. If someone calls you and your phone rings, you may feel embaressed fumbling to turn the sound off. With MIUI, you can make your phone silent in a flip.
11. Some of you, especially boys, like to put your phone in your pocket. And if there's an incoming call, you may misoperate when taking the phone out. Here's a way to avoid this risk.
Comeplete settings—Display—Prevent misoperation
12. After you've changed your phone, all the contacts information can be imported to your new phone in a minute. Press Menu button in the Contacts page, choose Import/export, and then choose Import from other phone.
13. You may find your contacts have no avatars or location information, that's because you've turned on Simple mode. Solution? Turn it off.
14. What do you do when there're duplicate contacts in your phone? Delete one of them by yourself? Well, that's unnecessary if you use MIUI.
15. A quick way to add someone into blacklist.
At call or message page, press the avatar of the one you want to add to blacklist—select Add to blacklist—Save. And it's done.
System Operation:
1. How cool would it be if you can put whatever you want to say on the lockscreen page? Follow the steps below, and it will be done.
Settings ---- Security & Privacy ---- Screen Security ---- Owner info.
2. Long press on any icon in Toggles to enter its setting page. This design will actually save us a lot of time.
3. Want to sleep in on weekends but forgot to turn off the alarm clock? You won't have this problem if you use MIUI clock.
4. We all like to sleep a little longer after the alarm clock set off. In this situation, a snooze function is necessary. It's annoying If the snooze duration is too short, and you may start to worry if it's too long. In MIUI, you can set the snooze duration yourself!
5. Slide down on Notes icon to create a new note.
6. In File explorer, you can see how many items a folder contains, and delete the empty ones without mistake
7. Want to let some applications auto start and the others don't? It's your call. (Auto Start).
8. Use more data than your package allows every month? Always forget to check your data usage? Well, then you can choose to put it right in front of you, and you won't have to worry about over usage anymore.
Privacy Protection:
Sometimes your family or friends may want to use your phone, but there're contents you want to keep private. In this situation, you just need to turn on the Guarded mode. Settings ---- Security & Privacy ---- Privacy Protection ---- Guarded Mode.
Updater App:
1.You can download the latest full ROM using the Updater App. [Press Menu inside the app]
2.You can use the updater app as a file flasher application.
3.You can us the app to boot into recovery.
Backup App:
1.You can backup system data, installed apps, and synced contacts to various accounts.
2.You can encrypt backup with MiCloud account password.
You can set time for Automatic Backups.

[Q] How to set a delay for the keyguard on non-rooted Note3?

Lets see if anyone can help me find a solution to this... (I posted this in the AT&T Note3 Q&A forum also, since it didn't look like they cross over to each other any, and I want to get as much help with this as I can.)
I have a non-rooted AT&T Note3 and have the corporate exchange email setup, which sets the requirement to use a PIN to secure the phone.
Using the lock screen PIN doesn't bother me, because I am able to set it to not ask for the PIN again for 30 minutes, which has worked well for my needs. I must keep the PIN activated on my phone though due to company requirements.
BUT...I hate the keyguard (swipe to unlock) feature! It activates way too quickly after the screen turns off. Before, with my original Note1, I had a custom rom that let me set a delay for the keyguard, so that if the screen turned off, I had 15 seconds to turn the screen back on without it activating the keyguard.
So, does anyone know how to either set a delay for the keyguard, or to disable it completely on a non-rooted Note3? I would prefer for it to be a delay, but this keyguard activating so easily makes me wish it was just completely gone!
I have tried a few of the available apps in the appstore, but none have worked so far. They usually have trouble with the Exchange email PIN requirement being in effect, even though I'm not trying to disable the PIN. I'm only wanting to do something about the keyguard feature.
I've used Touchdown for my email with my Note1, but am trying to keep from going back to using it. The new email package on 4.3 (and 4.4) work pretty good for my corporate email needs without needing all of the bells & whistles that Touchdown offer. Please don't offer Touchdown as a solution at this point. I'm currently only interested in solutions using the stock email apps.
Thanks!

I do have the Secured lock time set to 30 minutes though, which is what keeps the PIN request from popping up constantly, but it does not stop the "swipe to unlock" from appearing.

What version of the Note do you have? and which firmware?
I'm using the International Unbranded on BTU XXUDMJ7 -
Edit: sorry for some reason I cannot see your attached image
2Nd EDIT: OK i see it now, hmm seems your settings are vastly different to mine.
---------- Post added at 01:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:40 AM ----------
Maybe it has something to do with the actual lock feature used.
I use Pattern, when I switch to Swipe and PIN the options change. Try with Pattern maybe?

Yeah...I'm having some trouble getting images to show up in my posts....It is just being a pain in the butt tonight.
I am only allowed to use PIN or Password. Our office has the other options locked out.
Mine is the N900A (AT&T). I'm on the BMJ5 version which was just pushed out recently.
Thanks for trying though...

I would go with the lock features used then by the sounds of it, seems like on PIN or Password you cannot change certain features.
Sorry I couldn't help more.

I've GOT to find a way to disable or delay that dang Swipe to Unlock screen! It was just driving me nuts a few minutes ago. I would look away from the screen and it would cut off, and within 1-2 seconds, I would reach over and press the home button to wake it back up and then have to do the Swipe to Unlock thing again. That is going to drive me CRAZY!

Not a dumb question at all, Push and hold the home button, select the little globe in the bottom left, once you go thru to the next screen, scroll accross to CLEAR DEFAULTS and choose Touch Wiz and hit clear, exit out then try setting TW again and pressing Always.

okay, so I'm there, but I don't see TW to clear

When you press the home button the TW asks you to set Just once/ Always yes? -- if you choose always it should store it in there as a default. -
OK, try settings > general > application manager > choose ALL then scroll down to TW - choose TouchWiz Home - It should show 850KB or so in size, If not clear cache then clear data, hit force stop, reboot your phone and see if it stores the data this time.

okay, so I just did it... let's see if it works... I will follow up, thanks!

Hit the home button again and if it doesn't pop up, it's sorted

Ok for some bizarre reason it isn't storing local data, I'm at a bit of a loss.
What Model number do you have? and what firmware are you running? - rooted also? any mods installed recently or other launchers?
when you went to cache, did it show 850kb or so in the app itself? as if it was storing the data at all?
You could try a factory reset. I know it isn't ideal and it bugs me when I have had to do one previously. It may fix it. 9 out of 10 times it does.
EDIT: I'm at work so my replies may be a little sporadic or so, but I'll be around to help.

I don't remember what the number was, but I'm pretty sure it was in the 700kb....

I'm going to try the previous instruction again and see if it helps, if not I'll do a factory reset. Not much trouble since I just got the phone 2 days ago...

What mine shows, let me know what happens when you reset it. Usually does the job especially on the Note 3 lol.

okay, so I ended up just doing a factory reset... and in the process... there was a system update. I have a feeling when I got the phone at the store, I was flying through the setup process and skipped it. As of right now, it looks like it's working fine :fingers-crossed:
thanks again for all your help... I'm going to pass this along because apparently I wasn't the only one with this issue

Ahh cool, least you got sorted, No problem man. Enjoy the phone

Did you enable Google Now? Disable it, and it will not ask you again.

okay... so I wanted to post an update. Truthfully, the issue started up AGAIN! I was sooooo annoyed, I didn't want to post because I figured it was frustrating others reading my issue. Apparently, I wasn't the only person having this issue. I did some search and came across a thread over at Android Central...
here's the thread: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...lete-action-using-touchwiz-easy-home-huh.html
anyways, the trick is to uninstall the latest version of Google Search update. JUST TO CLARIFY, this does NOT mean you're actually uninstalling Google Search (because, I mean... there's no way I'd ever use Bing or Yahoo search :laugh: )
You go to your Google Play Store, search "Google Search" and the app will come up... it's already installed so you'll get the options of "Open" or "Uninstall".... You click on "Uninstall" and ONLY the latest version of Google Search will be uninstalled... Google Now, Google Search WILL still be there... But this issue will be gone
So, needless to say, the latest version of Google Search has some kind of bug with TouchWiz or whatever.
Hope this help others in the future

Yes im having this issue too and reverting back to the older version is the solution. This phone has given me many bugs. Totally aint worth the money.

I had this problem and then removed the updates. However, I now see a new update for Google Search dated January 9, 2014. Has anyone tried this update to see if the problem persists?
Maybe tonight I will give it a go.
Thanks

No more touchwiz problem
:good: After upgrading Google Search to the January 9, 2014 yesterday, I have had no more problems with Touchwiz Home stopping notice. It has been about 24 hours since I updated it.
I guess Google resolved the bug.

I'm facing this issue after update to kitkat. I can't uninstall google search update as the version installed in the rom is the last one. Pop up is very boring What can I do ?

Textra Doesn't display all the way to the top?

Hey guys,
I use textra as my standard messaging app. It seems like it gets cut off on the s8's display, not going all the way to the top. It leaves a black space between the top of the app and the notification bar. Not sure if this is a textra issue that needs to get updated or an app viewing setting somewhere in the s8 that I'm missing. Either way it sure would be nice if that dead space went away lol
Anybody know any tricks?
Cheers!
Edit: Apps this happens in I've found so far
Textra
theChive
Various banking apps
I'm thinking it's something with the individual apps not being able to display in a certain aspect ratio? Dunno.
A little extra testing showed that this is independent of launcher used. I didn't think it would have an effect but figured I would give it a shot anyways. I used the google now launcher with no difference.

Try Settings, display, full screen apps. Toggle the individual program to be full screen. Should solve the problem.

Problem solved! No idea why this is an option I need to check. Bought the phone for a full screen, why would i not wanna utilize that full screen? lol

Programs aren't made to this aspect ratio yet. There could be glitches. You choose full screen you deal with the consequences.

Have you noticed when you receive a text message and you click on it from the notification screen it makes you swipe to open still? I have the AT&T version and this annoys me.
Like any notification you tap it and instead of opening the phone it goes to a blurry screen and makes you swipe again.

yeah, I wish apps went all the way by default when you install them, and if they don't work that way, I can go in an turn off. I have to go in and turn them all on at the beginning which is annoying.

are you asking how to stretch apps all the way to the edges? It was described in post #2. I just wish they were enabled by default, I just have to go in and turn them on manually upon download.

no worries. I'm not sure about how to help with your question, though. I'm using Textra for SMS/MMS and when I click notification, it opens the Textra quick reply box.

Not the click reply like actually double tapping the notification to open the phone makes me swipe to open again.

I just watched your video closely. So you are talking about opening the textra message from the lock screen by double tapping? yeah, mine makes me unlock the phone too. I have iris scanner and FP setup. so if I double tap the message from the lockscreen, I have to unlock the phone first to see it or reply to it. I think that's pretty standard.
You can setup reply boxes on the lock screen. I haven't played with it much but I think it'll let you reply with a locked phone. Check out the heads up floating notification section under "when locked"

did you not have lockscreen security setup on your pixel? I know on my OnePlus One running 7.1.2, if I don't have any lockscreen security (just set to swipe), I can do what you are trying to do. But I think anytime you setup a pin, pattern, fp, etc., you have to insert in those unlocking methods first.
OR, did you have some kind of smart unlock setup on your Pixel that you haven't on your S8 yet? like proximity (home), connection (bluetooth or wifi), etc?
