I Know the flip cover wont work on CM11 note 3 (I have the original black wallet flip cover). But I have some questions about it:
- As far as I know the flip cover wont work on cm(11) for note 1 and 2 also, why why is this not built in cm?
- Has anybody got it to work on cm11 (using the original sensor in the flip cover, not the proximity sensor)
- can i expect it being build in in the future?
I really liked that when I opent my cover the screen went on so I miss it.
One of the reasons why I bought the note is the cover that really feels like it's part of the phone
Sorry for my bad english!
It doesn't work due to it being a Samsung mod.
Won't work using the original sensor, only proximity.
I wouldn't expect it to be implemented, however it *may* and that's a BIG may.
Yes, I was afraid of that. Its just a shame that a nice feature like that is lost
the other Samsung features like multi window and hand gestures are just stupid and i can do without them. And i am glad the s-pen still works (only no Samsung note app but i have papyrus)
The flip cover is just a shame
Use GMD_Spen for pen features, it's a great alternative :good:

There's actually an ongoing project to support the original sensor of the s-view and flip wallet case. It's called Hall Monitor.

I also tried GMD Spen - it's a good piece of software but for some reason it was not playing well with CM Spen Add-on+Note Buddy installed, therefore I had to uninstall it.
Some Spen gestures are natively supported by CM11 (under Language & Input > Stylus gestures) and CM Spen Add-on+Note Buddy offer a set of useful extra features.
Both CM Spen Add-on and Note Buddy are available from the Play Store.
Try using tasker.
When the magnetic sensor reaches a certain level determined by the magnet in case screen turns on.
I used to use this method on my s4 to detect a magnet in my car dock and activate Bluetooth and start playing music.
If you want I can try and make you an app using tasker?
Just tested Hall Monitor on my Samsung Mega 6.3 running RR Rom, and so far so good.
Info:
Original note 3 cover works with cm12.1.
I open the cover and the phone awakes.
Didn't found a cover app yet....

Anyone knows about development revival of HallMonitor? Last version (0.4.2 from 22 Jul 2014) doesn't support CM12.(1) (see issue #52 on HallMonitor's GitHub page)
Hi, as I stated on the title, I would like to discuss about the Note 4 Fingerprint Sensor and if we can replace it with S6 Fingerprint Sensor. Initially, I have 2 concerns, which are software and hardware incompatibilities.
A few weeks back, I flash my Note 3 with Darklord S6 port ROM. When I was setting the device up, it promoted me to set up the finger print scanner like the way the S6 asks, so I thought if we port the S6 ROM to the Note 4 it will change the way the sensor works and I no longer need to do the swipe gesture.
However, after a bit of research and discussions, the problem lies within the hardware, so even if I port the S6 ROM, if the hardware does not support it, then it is no use for the software.
But, I have looked around on Ebay and other sites for Note 4 and S6 sensor. They look very similar in shape, but I am not quite sure about the exact dimensions (May be someone in this forum who has 2 devices can do the measurement for me ;D). So I am thinking if we can replace the Note 4 sensor with the S6 sensor and port the S6 ROM to the Note 4, would it technically solve the problem and now we can have the Note 4 with S6 sensor that works like a CHAMP?
If someone has already created a thread similar to this, please let me know and I will delete it or the mod can do it too. This is my 1st post so sorry in advance if I cross some lines
**Disclaimer** Please do not try this idea on your devices if you are not a professional. I am not responsible and cannot be hold accountable if you break your devices. Good day!
Even if you replace the sensor, there's still the software that would need to be reprogrammed in order to utilize it properly. You wouldn't be able to simply replace the sensor and expect it to magically work.
Just saying.

Yeah, I think the swiping fingerprint scanner is part of the security software developed by Samsung earlier on. While the fingerprint scanner on the Note 4, Note Edge, SGS5, SGS6 and SGS6 Edge are probably all the same sensor. It's the security software that would have to be updated in order for it to be used like the SGS6/SGS6 Edge's fingerprint scanner.
I found a Galaxy S4, model SM-975L, and I'm wondering if it's worth the repair. I don't know if the phone works, the device has a messed up battery (it has nail polish on it) and the screen is cracked. I did try to plug it in but the screen doesn't turn on, I do feel a vibrate though. My only want is to put Lineage OS on it and use it as a backup (I already have a Nexus 5X and a Nextbit Robin, as well as a few iPhones) and possibly play music from it
I think this phone has a locked bootloader which means no TWRP or Lineage.
I don't believe it's worth repairing, especially in 2018. For the amount you spend on repairs you could easily buy a new phone to do what you want.
Hi, so long story short my S8 got destroyed when it was left on top of our car and fell off and got run over. Since the frame and glass were both completely destroy I was wondering if It still worked, and it turns out it does the notification light still blinks and the CPU still gets warm so the board is OK. I was wondering could I transfer the components from the old S8 to a S8+ shell, or would it not fit? I have G950U if that helps.
More than likely it will not work in the S8+ chassis. Screw holes will likely not line up. Not to mention the screen size, specific software and hardware differences on the board itself.
Hello, guys/girls.
The thing is I already changed the battery of the device, now I have to change the charging port because it is getting to a point where I can hardly charge the device.
My points is this:
Can I get some damaged galaxy s8 950F with broken screen lets say and just get the motherboard with the SoC and swap it with mine because I hate myself for not searching to see that the snapdragon is bootloader locked and I hate that.
Thank you and have a lovely day!

It's almost a certainty that it would not work with just a motherboard swap. As far as I know the screen and frame and probably some small parts like the vibration motor, headphone jack, fingerprint reader, loudspeaker and possibly the wireless charging coil would be transferrable. You'd need the G950F motherboard, charging port board, camera modules (Snapdragon cameras are Sony IMX while Exynos cameras are Samsung ISOCELL and aren't interchangeable) and possibly the black plastic module at the top rear of the phone that contains the antennas. Basically you'd need a G950F with a broken screen to get all of the required parts.

Thank you, Sir!
I am glad I post it here before buying the broken phone!
I have never changed a display before and I don't think I can do it because of the curved screen and I think I will brake the working one so I think I will stick with it.

Well, you wouldn't actually be swapping the screen, you'd be keeping the screen and frame of your G950W and basically transferring all the components from the G950F into it. It's not terribly difficult to do if you have all of the parts, but you'd have to do your research to make sure you know how to do it. Lots of videos on YouTube and a guide on iFixit to go by.

I will second this. As i have repaired and dismantled several s8s. Their not really hard. But you most def need the right stuff to do it.
Thank you for the answers, gentlemen.
I will try that and see what happens.
