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?
I’m using S Note app on Note 4. S Note is definitelly the best app for this phone. It is very comprehenshive.
But there is a problem with sounds. It allways plays a (irritating) sound when you turn the page. This sounds cannot be turned off That’s a really big drawback of this application. I don’t understand it, because, it is very easy task for Samsung to add into settings some check box “Turn off sounds”. I don’t belive that Samsung will do it on users demand. (Because I think they even downgraded S-Note in Note 5! ) Or should we start petition for it ?
Or can someone extract original S Note app and remove the sounds? Maybe the sounds are in Assets folder, and replacing the sound with some quiet tone will be possible...
Thanks
Hi folks!
I am making this thread for people who haven't yet upgraded from MiUi 7 to MiUi 8. For all those, here are 10 good reasons why you should upgrade from MiUi 7 to MiUi 8!
1. The Calculator:
In MIUI 8, the new MIUI calculater app is now having the currency converter feature. We can even check 3 currencies at once with the MIUI Calculator App. Hence there's no need any 3rd party app for this feature. Not only that, but there's been additions like complex algebraic symbols for efficient and quick calculations.
2. Image Editor:
With the update of MIUI 8, now we can have more features when editing our image in Gallery. There are more settings and effects to play with, hence we can save up spaces from downloading 3rd party image editor.
3. Video Editor:
Did you know that we can finally edit our video in MIUI 8 without install any 3rd party apps? We can now easily trim our video and add some simple effects on it to make it more interesting!
4. Wallpaper Carousel:
We have Wallpaper Carousel that provides us daily wallpaper and Theme App Store which have thousands of wallpaper to be chosen. With MIUI 8, we don't even need to download any wallpaper from external sources.
5. Cleaner:
In MIUI 8 security app, one of its main features is Cleaner App. It will not just only clear cache, deep clean will help us remove the duplicate photos, big files and unused apps to clear up our storage even further. So why do we need a 3rd party app if we already have this feature in MIUI 8?
6. WiFi Transfer (Mobile to PC):
Did you know that MIUI allows us to transfer file from phone to PC via FTP? Frankly, this feature already existed since MIUI 5 and its still rocking! We don't need to download any 3rd party app to transfer our files wirelessly in MIUI.
7. Improved Mi - Drop:
In MIUI 8, we have a file-transferring feature called Mi Drop. This is used to transfer any files between two phones which have these features. This doesn't require any Internet Access to do it, just using Hotspot and transfer the file wirelessly. So we don't need any 3rd party app for this as well.
8. Anti-Virus:
Since MIUI 5, there is a virus scanner in Security App and downloading a 3rd party anti-virus app in MIUI ROM is not necessary at all. Although some might have said the MIUI virus scanner is not the most powerful, the native app is always the best as it "understands" the host (MIUI ROM) the most.
9. Data Usage:
Want to monitor your Data Plan usage? In MIUI 8, we have this feature under Security App. It is called Data Usage Stat. With this feature, we don't need to install any other apps to help us monitor our data usage. Isn't that awesome?
10. Battery Saver Auto Powered:
Want your phone to automatically power on the battery saver when you're sleeping? MIUI 8 can do that! It can be found under Security App > Battery > Battery Saver. This awesome feature was already implemented since previous MIUI versions and has some improvements!
11. Messaging Timer:
Do you know that MIUI Messaging has a feature that we can set a timer for our message to be sent? This feature is pretty useful for someone forgetful like me, and I bet it will be useful for you all as well!
12: Blocklist:
Is there's someone who always disturbs you and you want to ignore his call or SMS? Blocklist comes in handy when you set his number in the list. You will not receive any of his calls or SMS's anymore, and you can manage settings for the blocked numbers. This feature can be easily found in Security App.
13: Second Space:
Having second space is like having two mobiles in one mobile. This feature partitions your phone into two, so two people can use it randomly, protecting each others privacy as well!
14: Dual Apps:
Ever used Parallel Space? Imagine a MiUi built-in Parallel Space. Yep! MiUi 8 features dual apps, so you can have two instagrams or WhatsApps for different accounts!
15. Continuous Screenshot:
Ever wanted to take a screenshot of the whole page, but needed to take seperate screenshot for each column? Well, problem solved!
MiUi 8 introduced a new feature- continuous screenshot .
Here's how to take a continuous screenshot:
Just take a normal screenshot and when a pop-up displays at the upper right corner, tap it and tap on 'scroll' to take a continuous screenshot!
So, that's all for now folks! I'll keep updating the thread with new posts soon. Stay tuned!
Hit Thanks if I've Helped!

Samsung Galaxy S7 and galaxy S7 edge have got official Android Nougat Beta release ,I've been using this release for about 7 days and I've decided to do
a detailed review to share with you my experience and to help you decide whether to use it as a daily driver or not.
The review is 7 parts
1-Installation
2-Performance
3-Sensors & GPS
4-Battery Life
5-Gaming Performance
6-Features
7-Bugs
1-Installation
you gonna need a windows PC , USB cable and make sure to download the latest ODIN version, All the links are available in the 2nd post
1-Backup all of your data to your PC or SD card cs this procedures will format your internal storage (My recommendation is to use smart switch to do the backup)
2-Make sure that your battery is more than 50 percent
3-turn off your device
4-enter the download mode by holding the power button+home button+volume down key
5-on your pc extract the firmware package(use Winrar or winzip) It will take some time according to your PC speed
6- You will find 4 files after the extraction process
7-Connect your device to the PC, Make sure to use the Stock cable
8-Open ODIn as administrator ( If ODIN doesn't recognize your device then you need to install USB driver for your device)
9-Now select BL and choose BL file , this is your bootloader file
10-Click AP and choose the AP file, This file will take up to 3 minutes to load so be patient.
11-click CP and select CP file , this is your modem
12-and at last click CSC and select CSC file , this is your country code.
13-hit start
-This process will take 3 to 4 minutes if you are using the Stock usb cable,The device will reboot in order to erase every thing in the internal storage then It will reboot again to start the installation process
Installation FAQ
1- will the installation affect the device warranty? no it won't ,cs it is
an official release from Samsung.
2-Can I downgrade to MM after upgrading to
Nougat? Yes you can
3-Can I Install Android nougat if I'm running Custom ROM?
Yes you can install it whatever custom ROM you have.
Installation Video
2-Performance
-For the first time on Samsung devices you can choose the performance profile you need -There are 4 profiles (normal which is the
default mode, Game,entertainment,and high performance)
-every profile has a different settings to give you the best performance according to your needs but you can modify those settings if you want. -Some of you will ask me if I noticed any changes between the 4 modes modes, and I'm gonna answer your question by doing a simple test
-I've done a benchmarking test using antutu APP While normal mode is active and the score is 90000
-Then I've done the same test while performance mode is Active and the score 130000 which is almost the same like MM
-If you want better performance then choose the performance mode but keep in mind that this will affect your battery life
-According to my experience while using the device in normal mode that everything running flawlessly and the device is very
responsive.
-RAM management is great , you can run more than 5 heavy APPs in the background and switch between them very fast and you also still able to run
more APPs at the same speed regardless how much RAM space you have.
3-Sensors and GPS
Sensors and GPS antenna are very important to your device , I've done sensors test and all the sensors responded very well
(accelerometer , Gyroscope, light sensor, Proximity sensor, etc) and I've never experienced any bugged sensors in the past 7 days
GPS antenna is perfect , It caches a 3D fix while indoor and the accuracy is very very good for navigation.
4-Battery Life
Battery life still the same like MM for me but keep in mind that the battery usage vary from user to another .
while using the device in Normal mode(Making calls, Playing light games,using Common APPs like what's APP telegram and Chrome) Over WIFI, I've got 24 hours on battery and more than 5 hours SOT which is almost the same for me on MM .
While using the device in performance mode (location enabled,using Google MAPs for navigation,Making voice calls over 2 hours) I've got 17 Hours on battery and 4 hours SOT which is also the same for me on MM while heavy usage.
The good part in Nougat that you have the ability to change the screen resolution and Performance Mode to get more battery life.
Power saving mode is available with 2 options
1-Medium power saving mode
2-Maximum power saving mode which is the same like UPSM but with a different user interface.
5-Gaming performance
Gaming performance is awesome as it was in MM ,You still have game launcher and you can adjust gaming performance settings as you used to do before. Game tools have the same features but in this version you can see the recent APPs on the right side of the screen
I've tested some high graphic games (Asphalt 8,NFS most wanted,Asphalt Xtreme )and all of them running nicely no lags or stutters or slow responses You can get the best gaming experience by activating Game Mode , which is completely new feature in Android Nougat.

POP up view by swiping from both corners on the top of the screen
Notification toggles has been changed completely from Samsung TW UI to be like Stock Android devices
you have 6 toggles in quick access bar ,9 Toggles in landscape
Quick pull down with two fingers still available
There is no auto brightness button and the brightness slider only appears in full toggles pull down.
If you press any title under the toggle you will access to more settings related to the selected toggle
Blue light filter is available ,Private mode,Screen mirroring all those running with out any problem
Android Easter egg toggle is available
The settings menu is just like the Note 7 and it's very informative

All the display options ( Auto brightness, blue light filter , screen resolution)

You still don't have the ability to format SD card as internal adoptable storage.
Finger print is working ,I didn't notice any improvement or any different response
All language are supported
All keyboard language inputs are supported
Camera software has a different layout and gestures (Like Note 7) but all the options still the same,All the modes are working,Image and video quality are
the same as MM firmware.
Bugs and fixes -I've been using the firmware for almost 7 days , So I'm gonna share with you the problems I've got till now
1-S health is not working , I think cos my device warranty is void , So If your device was rooted before you will got the same issue
2-Some of the Apps didn't work normally like what's App voice messages is too low compared to MM
3-Some of the Apps didn't work at all like Facebook
4-Some users reported that Samsung music crashing but for me every thing working without a problem.
Now you will ask me , can I use it as daily driver? the answer here depends on your needs, if you can find an
alternative for Apps like Facebook and you don't need S health then sure you can use it as daily driver.

Hi, I found the Live Focus apk from Note 8 but I can't install it on my S8 Plus it says conflicts with the same app. Can someone have a look at it and enable somehow to work on S8 ?
You need dual lense for live focus.
