My First impressions with XXKPA

As I always say noobs like me read this, who are interested to how is Samsung progressing towards ICS, anyone thinks himself beyond noob or attracted to non TW ROM's please save your time.
Some points I am skipping atm, because they are same as KP8, read that aside it if you wanna,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421269&highlight=my+first+impressions
• Last time I said regarding KP8 that it was hell of a lot better, now I've to say it again, much better than previous KP8, and more stable of course.
• Phone calls were great, loud enough earpiece volume. Noise reduction is present usually.
• Vibration intesity is same as GB, which is great, and believe me or not RT volumes seems louder than before , by before I mean GB!
• Incoming call UI is same as before, answer/reject sliding animations still don't work!
• Phone signal is solid, stable. 3G working fine, same goes for WiFi and BT.
• Stock browser is just getting better and better, smooth, some guys will definitely hate the new elastic type scrolling, I kinda like it, sites went well with flash, pinch to zoom smooth as hell, no lag in any place. Brilliant all over. No Exit button still.
If I am not wrong then download support for all types of files is now present, tried with some different files, all was well. Need more feedbacks on this though.
• All the TW widgets are same as before, so not wasting time saying here again.
• 480x800 wallpapers are working fine, finally, which is a big relief for me. LWP works fine too, but not smooth as GB, some lags here and there.
• Market and downloading works fine. Download GO launcher and used it as default, no problem.
• Camera and Video recorder works all fine.
• Lockscreen ICS lock is still looks weird. Just swiping the screen unlocks the device!, don't know what's the point of ICS lock icon then.
• Swype is here Version 3.2.92 and it works great as usual.
• GPS lock is fine.
• YouTube videos plated well, but some lags are there.
• 1080P MKV files ran with audio, lag is prominent, so if someone watches HD videos regularly then it will be a PITA.
Tried MX- Little better than Stock, still not watchable
• Unread SMS icon is same as before (KP8). Missed call icon is finally here in LS. See attachments.
• Connection with PC worked at first time.
• Believe me or not phone Shut down time was damn fast, less than 5 seconds.
• Used it for 90+ minutes and there was no FC! Some lags are here and there, but not a single FC with any app.
• Mobile Odin worked before flashing and after rooting with CF it worked again. SU and CWM is there as usual.
• Allover UI smoothness was great IMO.
• Developer Options are present there as usual.
• FM radio works fine.
• Copy/Paste pop up UI has been changed in whole system, it is there at the top for both landscape and portrait.
• Bookmarks menu changed in Stock browser.
• Touch keys don't light up.
• There is no more additional/permanent Vibrate icon in taskbar anymore, doesn't matter of Vibration is enabled in your device or not. Many people would like this old feature I guess
• Face Unlock doesn't work.
••• All I can say I am way impressed with this ROM, almost all the needed features are present and working fine, which is always the most important part other than giving some great stuffs and taking away some common features and those nuisance, if this has been released by some other developers then XDA would have populate them like hell. TW bashers will still bash this I am sure, but doesn't matter because it looks pretty cool with ICS, so bad news for TW trollers.
You can definitely use this ROM as daily use, that I can say.
I am going back to my Nandroid as I always stay on finished/official stuffs, but it was a great experience for sure.

Well i have to say that i had the phone connected with USB and after 1 hour i tried to open it by pressing the hard key and nothing happened so i did hard reboot and when i booted the battery was from 50% to 10%
Not to mention that my soft keys don't light up when i press them but they work.
Also the TWLacunher is way too laggy!

Thanks for the impressions! Judging by the progress Samsung is making they will most likely make their Q1 deadline
Props to Samsung, and kudos to Sammobile for getting us this firmware.
Haters gonna hate.

Thank you for testing for me.
Have just downloaded the cwm packaged rom. Will flash now.

to exit the browser go into the windows/bookmarks menu and click X on all opened windows , then the browser closes itself.
this feature isn't available in gingerbread firmwares

Does FM Radio work on this leak?

To be honest, I'm started to think that Sammy will leave that TW theme to official ICS release, I mean that crappy green bar at RAM Status(and also in other menus), that notification bar, also, why they just can't do same lock screen as on Nexus with other icons, are they wanna keep old lock screen without any functionality ;/
Damn, they should completely redesign that TouchWiz to a new look, without that cartoonish icons and overall look. ICS is not only a new version of OS, it's totally new design too.
Great overview by the way.

regarding the 1080p playback
what's the point of watching a 1920x1080 resolution movie on a 800x480 resolution screen ?
Even though it's a bit laggy now it doesn't quite matter to me. Who transfers 8 gb movies on his phone ?

Did you get chance to try the FM radio, does it work?

Trying Wanam's XXKPA build right now! I'll report back!

The phone's MHL port lets you output the movie to an external display

Thorough overview, many thanks.
Looks promising but I'm going to wait. My current setup (krinyo's SlimROM,) is bug-free and perfect for my needs. Plus I'll need a monochrome theme, a dealbreaker for me.
Will probably try it one week before I buy the SGS3...

I agree with you. But 1080p played fine before, so it should work as before, will definitely be fixed in final release I am sure.
I am still on this ROM, really nice experience.

Atleast one x10'er here
I will also try this ICS after testing a new recovery by a dev(its a secret)

I found the xxkp8 any better. I find that have deteriorated too much to the small details

At first, the phone signal is green at my phone, it has never been green before!
Next thing is, contacts crashed also the browser and Maps does!
I hope the alarm is working properly, else i will oversleep tomorrow.

Thnx for your test and coloured pros and cons

[Q] lock my nexus into landscape

Just picked up a 2012 Nexus for $150. When I first got it, I believe I was able to go into landscape mode and lock it down - so no matter how i spun the device, it would remain in landscape. I can't seem to lock it down anymore; it will rotate but not stay locked. I upgraded OS the other day to 4.3 - only have had the device about 2 weeks. I swear it was working before. One thing I know has changed is my notification shade no longer shows the rotation icon; it did before. However, I seem to recall I had to do something special to lock it down to remain in landscape. Getting old....can't remember a thing anymore.
I really don't want to use an app just to do something so simple. What gives???

Nexus 7 (2012) updated to 4.3 here — Auto Rotate toggle present and functional in the settings shade so it should be there and you should be able to lock rotation in landscape/portrait. Unless any brighter suggestions present themselves, have you considered a Factory Reset?

I was going to root my Nexus anyway so maybe I'll just go ahead and do the the reset that way. Just a question though ....
When you say 'settings' shade did you mean 'notifications' shade?
I can enable rotation via checking the box in Settings->Accessibilty.....but I lost the rotate option in the 'notification' shade.
Thanks

I'm not sure what the proper nomenclature is but the Notification Shade is pulled down from the left-ward half of the top screen edge and the Settings Shade is pulled down from the right-ward half where the Wifi strength, battery level and time live.

The 'notifications' shade is what pops up, as you say on the upper left, whenever something happens. Like on my phone (S2) - I'll swipe down on that shade I can do all sorts of things - turn off volume, wifi etc - now maybe that is because I am running a custom ROM. In any event....I did the factory reset and have the same issue. The Setting->Accessibility allows rotation of screen from portrait to landscape but my 'notification' shade is blank on top - no icons at all.
Question - when you want to lock in landscape - what do you do? Do you do it through the pull down 'notification' shade and the icon that you see on the top or do you - do it through the 'settings' menu?
By the way - are you running 4.3? I am - I swear I had it locked down before but maybe I am dreaming.....thanks for help. Peter

Sorry - I see you already said you were on 4.3!!
But it would be helpful to know how you 'lock' landscape - that way I know for sure - if I am missing some icon or not.

I think you have your answer. I'm running factory pure 4.3 — all the
settings shortcuts and toggles are in a separate right shade (Brightness, Volume, Wifi, Auto Rotate, etc.). Perhaps you should revert to a less custom ROM (or one that has quick Auto Rotate access) if you want that feature.

No - I guess I wasn't clear.....the custom ROM was just a reference to my phone. I too am running pure google. I got the device about 10 days ago and then I got the notice to upgrade to 4.3 - I went ahead and that is when I lost the ability to lock my screen into landscape. I have since - based on your advice - done a factory reset - which was logical and not an issue - but still nothing. No way to lock my screen.
You have been very patient but can you tell me - when you 'lock' your display into landscape, do you do it by touching an icon - present on your 'notification' shade or do you go through the 'setting' menu and check a box or something? It would really help - I normally blame myself for stuff - but I just don't see how I can lock my screen using my 'pure 4.3' experience.
Thanks
Again

I lock my rotation with a button (technically a toggle) called AUTO ROTATE in my settings shade which you seem to have lost — it was there in 4.2 and unchanged in 4.3. Since you've gone this far, and want to root anyway, you might want to flash a fresh factory image of 4.3.

Thanks for your help. At this point - I don't want to root it because - should I need to return it - don't want to have to worry about it.
I don't have a shade at all for my settings. Just the notification shade which remains empty. I can allow rotation by 'checking the box' after navigating through the Settings icon to Accessibility but nothing appears that specifies the ability to 'lock' the screen.
Guess I'll just wait to see if someone else has a similar issue - I suppose I can download an app but I hate adding junk that I should not need. Really appreciate your help....patience is a virtue

You're welcome, I had time to kill
As a native workaround, you could give yourself a Settings widget and set it to be a shortcut to Accessibility.

Video pause added too.

Is it me or camera IQ seems better in 4.4.4? I've taken some pictures of trees from far away and there seems to be some more detail resolved than usual, less "painting" effect.. or it could be me. What are your impressions with the update on this regard?

the only way to find out is to flash a stock based rom (tweaky rom which is still on 4.4.2) and take a picture there than restore to a 4.4.4 backup and see if there is any difference

See for yourselves, this looks quite detailed to me. These are as taken, no photoshopping to make them look better. At least you can make out the leaves, you couldn't do that before. That other picture was a macro attempt, and the focused part comes out quite clear.
To me, this is better than on 4.4.2, I had taken pictures like these before of the same things (sadly I've deleted them so we can't compare) and from memory this is better. Check it out for yourselves on your usual shooting subjects if you see improvements.
edit: Please try to keep a steady hand. If there's something this phone hates, it's shaky hands... even the slightest shake will screw up your pictures.

Some of the changelog is from things in 4.4.3 which non 4g/lte users won't get as they update straight to 4.4.4
For instance the setting to hide carrier in status bar is in 4.4.3
Edit: also i can disable those motorola apps on 4.4.3

The 4.4.4 changes include the 4.4.3
Sent from my XT1033 using Tapatalk

I've observed some Miracast / DNLA fixes in 4.4.3 (and therefore 4.4.4.)
This feature now works correctly with Android 4.4.3. However, you still need to enable the 'Cast screen' settings menu by adding the following line (if not already present) to /system/build.prop:
persist.debug.wfd.enable=1​
Additionally, 4.4.3 improves compatibility with Allcast and BubbleUPnP, along with other DNLA apps that did not operate correctly in 4.4.2.

Noticed the IQ improvement on hdr mode. More detail with a slight contrast boost.
Sent from my XT1033 using XDA Free mobile app

Can anyone compare the battery stamina with the new stock 4.4.4 and the old 4.4.2 ?
Thank's

To me the quality seems poor like before.
Instead, it seems to me that the camera shots photos faster in every mode (single shot, HDR, sequence, etc.). Please check this and let me know.
Battery seems as good as before to me.

Been using 4.4.4 since last night so i can't say nothing about battery backup yet. Phone is smooth and i can't see more lag than before.
Idle CPU usage seems to be bit higher than 4.4.2 where it was 0-3%, now i see 5% and 15% pikes all the time.

Odd, my battery is the same with location off, but I usually use device only and in 4.4.2 it didn't drain the battery, but now it does, a lot, most apps now show high battery use, which is odd, so I disabled it.
Wi-Fi or mobile data on? Or none? Check the time without signal, when I first updated I had a 5 hour period showing I had 100% no signal (ironically, I was using Mobile data 50% of that time, and no second sim in)

Android Authority: Edge Sense Plus makes the HTC U11 a shortcut machine
XDA-Developers: Edge Sense Plus for HTC U11 Quick Look: Get More Out of Every Squeeze​
What is Edge Sense Plus?
You should already be familiar what Edge Sense is. By squeezing your device, it lets you perform some minor actions.
Edge Sense Plus extends those actions and adds some more features for you.
How does Edge Sense Plus work?
It is a simple app you install from playstore, linked at the bottom.
To get it working, you enable Advanced Mode'in the native Edge Sense Settings and select "Launch App" as custom action for both short and long squeeze
and pick the appropriate Edge Sense Plus Activity.
When the app starts the first time you'll get those instructions step by step again.

What can it do?
Custom actions:
You can choose from 40+ different actions
Action per App
Sidebar
Gestuer Panel
Custom App
Shortcuts - e.g. to make direct calls!
Recent Apps
Toggle Autorotation
Autobrightness (6 states: Auto, Min, Low, Mid, High, Max)

Toggle GPS (root)

Per app actions:
With the per app action, you can define different squeeze actions per app. So the chosen action will be executed dependent in what app you are currently are.
Double Squeeze: (Premium)
If you often accidentally trigger a short squeeze, that won't happen anymore if you map your desired action to the double squeeze gesture.
You can define a double squeeze interval, to ensure you are quick enough to trigger it every time.
G-Sensor usage:
If enabled, will be able to execute different actions depending on the current position of your device, whether it is flat or upright in your hand.
That way you can have six different squeeze gestures: short, long, doublepress in flat or upright device position.
Magisk system mod:
The magisk system mod replaces the native Edge Sense app and allows customizations on lowest level. That makes it possible to:
Execute actions while the screen is off/locked
Have pocket detection (disables edge sense when the proximity sensor is blocked)
Customize the colors of the feedback graphics
Media control:
The media control will override your set squeeze actions while media is playing so you can control your media.
That includes play/pause, increase/decrease volume and skip to next and previous track.
Squeeze sounds:
Ever thought it would be funny if a squeeze of your U11 would make a sound, if it is a *click*, *oink* or whatever you think of?
You can use any .mp3 file to make that happen!
Sidebar:
Remember that image?
We have that for real! Our Sidebar has three different panels, Applications, Recent Apps (Premium), Quicksettings (Premium).
You will also be able to customize the panel color to any color you like.

Wishful thinking, can't say I didn't try. :fingers-crossed:

Would ik be possible to add an option to fully disable pocket detection?
I would like to be able to use edge sense through your awesome app while I am on my motorcycle (full suit gloves and so on).

Are you able to use Edge Lightning for ALL installed apps?

Hello everybody, I'm struggling with this problem from the day I bought my S8. The fact is: how the hell are you getting Edge Lightning works with ALL apps while screen is off? Everything is set fine in the edge lightning menu, I've tried several times, but Edge Nofitications work only while screen is ON. Also tried with Always On display, nothing. With screen off, nothing. I'm going mad since I find several users with this setting working great. Anyway can help? Thanks!
EDIT: with screen off it only works with the stock Samsung SMS app. Any other app doesn't work at all

It's never worked right for me even with stock apps. Oreo doesn't seem to fix anything even though they added new styles for it.

Same here.. but it's really incredible that some people got it fully working out of the box and some others got it broken and were never able to get it working..

No one gets it out of the box for all apps. The problem with edge lighting is that it works for apps that can turn on the screen when a notification is received (viber, messages). Whatsapp can only trigger edge lighting if U turn pop-up messages on.
So - samsung made a great app once again with VERY bad implementation. They should have let us to set edge lighting to glow instead notification light. Just to give us a pulse of light every few seconds. That would be an amazing feature!
I love edge lighting and hate samsung for crippling a great feature once again.

no, just few apps work

Yes I found that on the internet, also from a discussion on the official Samsung forum. It's really frustrating, that would have been a killer feature to me. I think they'll never solve this problem since it's about a year and two OS versions in which this feature is completely broken, Nougat and Oreo. What a shame

Samsung did not cripple any features, I found that when notifications for apps aren't set to important, edge lighting does not work for those notifications... check it out and you'll see the difference... peace ✌?

How can i do that?

With the Notification channel in Andriod O, you can only change application importance or priority level of they are optimized for it....not a lot of applications are optimized for notification channels, that why edge lightening doesn't work with certain applications....
Go to application, select the app and select notification and you'll know whether or not it has notification channels...

That simply doesn't work.. Tried with WhatsApp, it has notification channels I think, since it lets you configure every type of notification like single message, grup message etc.. and the notifications are already set with the highest priority.. But Edge Lightning doesn't work at all with screen off.

That seems really strange though... did you set your edge lightening setting to always? Try setting it to always and test WhatsApp with the screen off, because it does work for me...

Already did that.. It doesn't work at all, only with screen on

You have to activate whats app pop up it s works

Yes but that doesn't solve the problem since as soon as you unlock the screen you have the annoying popup to close. And, it isn't the way it's meant to be since it should work without workarounds with every app since there's built-in support in the edge lightning options.

Hello. I've got solution. This app translates old style notifications to new style notifications so all the apps have edge notifications enabled. You can customize color for any application and turn on/off edge notifications. Very good application, not like the others, which creates fakes color effects around display. It even works on AOD display, which is perfect. Ofc it has few bugs, like if you enable notification and scroll up than back, it shows like it didn't save your settings, but it did. Just set all your apps, turn off app and on and you can see, that it remembered all your settings. I've reported that bug, so I hope it get fixed. play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.movisoft.edgelighting&rdid=com.movi soft.edgelighting

hi,
i use galaxy s9, however the edge lightning issue is the same for all new galaxy phones. i was told to submit a report via the samsung members app, still waiting for the answer.
the advertised app from the play store did work really well for some time. now however, it simply doesn't (i'm after the Pie upgrade). such a shame, cause the notification style is why i bought this phone, and it doesn't work as advertised.

The problem with edge lighting is that it needs apps to turn on the screen, and they rarely have that function since most android phones have notification lights instead of turning on the screen. For example, viber has the option to turn on the screen, hence the edge lighting works well with viber when the screen is turned off. Samsung messages do this as well. Other apps just turn on edge lighting when the screen is already on.
Samsung didn't think much about the functionality of the edge lighting feature if you ask me. Turned out to be a gimmick instead of a good feature, which sucks, because many people love it.

Yeah, I got it working through this app. There is a caviat, one color shines for all apps. That means there's no color change depending on the app that pushed a notification

We really need to find a workaround for pie. I heard the app (edge lighting) isn't working on pie sadly
