Sony software on Galaxy note 4

Hello,
I had some sony device and I really liked it. I had Xperia T and Xperia Z ultra. For changing, i decided to buy a Galaxy note 4. But I'm really disappointed about samsung software and touchwizz. So I decided to search sony software apk for changing that. I Found launcher, album and music. But I would like do more. Like to change lockscreen, notification panel, but I didn't found. I can root my phone if I need but I can't flash it. It's my 4th galaxy note 4 (I had lot of problems with it, so I can't lost warranty). I'm on android 5.1.1
Thank you for your help.

Game launcher official available...more coming?

Today s6 and note 5 get the game launcher available on galaxy store you have to download game launcher and then you will download game tools within game launcher
Will we expect more features coming to s6 like always on display and new grace ux with Android N update?
We have to wait for the answer of the question

Don't get your hopes up about Always on display feature, S6 will never ever get it officially.
But with the Grace UX, there's a great chance that it will come to S6 and S6 Edge before the Android N's official release.
Also, Samsung's S Health app has just recently been updated with new look, as Albe95 says it's "Note 7 Grace UX S Health" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68122799&postcount=1673) so as you can see, this is just only the beginning and we can be sure that the New Grace UI will be on S6 and S6 Edge before you know it.
Cheers!!
:laugh:

Yeah grace ui probably but no always on for sure...

Always on display is a gimmick and battery drainer! I never turned it on again after 1 month use in Nokia Belle (which was better than the Android's counterpart) and still not impressed by it. My phone's battery life will never be enough

What if i dont have the galaxy app store?

Samsung recently pushed out an update to the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge that brought along Samsung Cloud, a new feature that the company debuted with the Galaxy Note 7.
The updated Gallery app has Samsung’s new Grace UX interface, but more notable is its inclusion of face and object recognition.
The improved Gallery should be making its way to other flagships in the near future, and so should the entire Grace UX. The latter will probably arrive with the Android 7.0 update, although we’re hoping Samsung will port specific Note 7 features through minor updates following up to the release of Nougat.

What do game launcher?

Samsung recently brought two new features from the Galaxy Note 7 to the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge through an update in Italy, and the company is now pushing out the same update to consumers in India. Both devices are getting an over-the-air update sized at around 150 MB; the update brings the Samsung Cloud service and also the new gallery that features face and object recognition.
The update also improves performance in games that utilize the Vulkan API and the response of the touch screen. Power consumption improvements are also on-board thanks to optimization to Smart Manager. A couple of bug fixes are included as well, with a fix for the flashlight/torch not working properly and for problematic cover recognition.

It seems Samsung is slowly releasing the updates. We might just get these updates for S6 and S6 Edge before 2017 comes.

M3 software real world's experience...

Hi all,
I had a Mediapad m3 earlier this year but eventually returned it because it was a frustrating experience with emui 4. Hardware was great but it was limited by its software : terrible lock screen, no smart lock, no multiwindow, etc.
Did the experience got better with Nougat and emui 5? Is multiwindow fully functional? How about smart lock? Is the tablet still recognised as a phone by apps? There's no real review online with the tablet running Nougat.
I must say even though its specs sheet is inferior, the Samsung Tab S2 8 2016 still seem like a better choice in terms of experience : better software, probable Oero update and awesome custom roms support anyway. It's a different form factor of course but it's also lighter.
What's the day to day experience with the M3 today?
Thanks.

Goto ROM for SM-T580?

Just got the Galaxy Tab A (2016). What's currently considered to be the best choice for this device; I'm looking for more performance and less Samsung bloat.

Pie version of followmsi. For my usage perfect so far and nice to have Android 9

One UI 5.1

Hi, does a One UI 5 rom like the Noble rom for the S9 exist for my S8 (G950F exynos)? Thanks

I fear that unfortunately, no one ui port besides one ui 2 exists for the galaxy S8/note 8 series.
Galaxy S7 somehow maxed at one ui 2 via custom ROMs
and so did the S8
and somehow the S9 out of nowhere got one ui support up to one ui 5. Probably because of the note 10 lite (which runs the same chipset as the S9/note 9 series) existing, maybe that explains the sudden outcome. Note 10 lite was supposed to max at android 12 but it's support was extended to android 13, and after it completed update circle it got demoted to quarter updates.
I'm aware of S8 being so similar of the S9, but despite that it uses different chipset, so it would be impossible to use the noble ROM installer on a galaxy S8, it would unfortunately give an error instead if you do so.
TLDR: You won't be available to install any one ui port besides max one ui 2 at Samsung S8/note 8 series, except if you wish to use stock android ROMs such lineage os, pixel experience ect.
Pretty sad reality tbh. As someone who uses the S8 for backup I really wish there was better one ui custom rom support for the S8 too.
