I can't find setting for video recording
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrAwesome75:
I noticed this, as well, but I think this is an "upgrade" as the "100s" of toggles were too many before. I have also noticed that there are less entries in the menu, making it simpler looking and easier to navigate/find stuff. It doesn't always necessarily mean options were removed, but just put into a different place. I think overall, this is a good thing because it makes navigating and using the menus much easier and faster.

Among other things, I did notice in S-Note the ability to transcribe handwriting into text is gone. I noticed this even though I don't use it much, so it isn't a huge loss. I think most of the missing items on this phone are mostly not necessary and were rarely ever used, so it seems like it's basically a good thing.

I do wish they didn't remove the ability to disable the Flipboard screen on the stock launcher. Now, the only way to get rid of it even after disabling the Flipboard app is the install a 3rd party launcher. That is my only complaint, but I rarely ever use the stock launcher anyway, so it's not really a huge issue for me.

So far this phone is F***ing sick!

Predictive Emoji is gone..at least on mine
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] xxmelissaxx:
You can disable the flipboard page just hold your finger down on the home screen and then scroll to the flipboard page and you'll see a check mark, just uncheck it. Is that what you're talking about? Hope this helps
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrAwesome75:
Wow! Thanks so much!

That's what I was taking about. They simplified everything so it's not so cluttered, but in some cases it makes things harder to find.

That is what I was looking for. I didn't even notice the check mark before. Thanks, again.

As someone who shoots lots of photography. I noticed they have removed the Black and White setting from the camera. It has been replaced with a terrible filter called "Monogram". I have searched through all the menus and even the "downloads" section. NOTHING! I honestly can't believe it. Like WHY? I prefer shooting in B&W. Like at least let me download it. WTH?!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Misterjunky:
re: B/W Filter

If you have a backup of all your apps using titanium backup or another similar app

you can get that black/white filter file from there.

Or you can even get it from the twrp flashable zipfile which you used to flashed

your rom with.

It's in the same location in the zip file as all the other camera filter files.

(it's either in system/apps or in the system/priv-apps folder.)

Once you extract the b/w filter file copy it into the same location where all the other

filter files are located in your note 5, who knows you just might luck out and it might

work for you.

The filter files don't require flashing or even installing

so there's really a good chance that it will work for you.

To play safe, be sure to fix the attributes for the b/w filter

file to match all the other filter files attributes after copying.

Good luck,

Have a great day!

I've noticed that Google Play Music no longer puts the album art on your lockscreen when you're listening to music. Frankly I'm kinda pissed about this because I really liked it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrAwesome75:
S-Note doesn't allow you to change the default notes view. I used to change it to "list view" instead of the default "tile" view. Now I can only see it in"tile"view.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] bradbutter:
yeah that pissed me off too . i think its a lollipop thing bc my s6 it stopped too

i also noticed theres no tabbed view or list view toggle in settings and you cant uncheck all the quick settings to remove them. you will still have a box with one icon for u to add apps to quick settings
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Idan73:
It wouldn't be a lollipop thing cause it's working fine on aosp. It would be samsung implementation of lollipop.

Note 4 ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] mike2518:
One important thing its missing now that note 4 had is : on note 4, if you keep holding the small page dots, you can scroll really quickly the home screen as well as the app drawer. That feature is gone, which i really loved on the note 4. Now you have to swipe each page one by one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] nique0201:
Yea now it just brings up the widget and wallpaper screen. It seems the regressed in a lot of TW launcher options
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] matt.b.powell:
One thing I miss is using smart select and turning that selection into editable text. So like I could take a picture of a receipt from UPS for shipping something, smart select the Tracking Number and then paste that number into Google to see where my package is. They sort of have a replacement with "Samsung OCR' but it really doesn't work. I used it a ton and I really miss it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrAwesome75:
I never even knew you could do that. I wish I had used it when I had the 4. I did try OCR today after reading this post to see what it was like. It worked pretty well.

Sent from my SM-N920T
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] matt.b.powell:
It was awesome, you could use it for anything web pages, taking a picture where text could be selected you could use it.

With the OCR thing it only works when taking a picture and only sort of from my limited use of it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrAwesome75:
Well that sucks. Sounds like something I could actually use.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] matt.b.powell:
Just opened it again, it can work with a screen shot... on the top right of the app when open on the camera mode it has a down arrow, select that then select the option that looks like an image, then you can load in your screen shot.

Not too mad about this now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrAwesome75:
Not quite following your instructions here: You take a screen shot add then which app do you use to open it?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Dovigoldberger:
This should be a separate thread, i never thought i would find it here. I found it on a different site and thought of opening a thread about this, but i decided to search if somone already posted anything about this.

I bet you tons of people are looking for this feature and just gave up.

thanks a mill.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] blackhemi4x4:
Handwriting transformation, I have downloaded that expansion pack but where the heck are the options for this? I cannot for the life of me get this to work
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrAwesome75:
Once you download and install the expansion pack it should be an option in the menu bar at the top of the screen in SNote when it's in "edit" mode.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] :
Also You can still do the "photo note" feature that the note 4 had where you could take a picture of writing on like a whiteboard and then turn it into text and reconfigure it. It is just buried under features in snote.

hiding apps???

Just got this note 5 coming from the S5. With the s5 on the top right hand corner there were 3 little dots you clicked on that and hide apps then you chose what apps to hide and done now no one could see those icons. Is there a way to do that on this note 5?? Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] tylerholbrook:
Holding the back key, like in the xda app takes me back a page, then brings up a the menu at the bottom. How do I get a menu on xda? S6 had a floating 3 dot. Can't attach screen shot either. Pulls it up but then there's only a cancel button, not submit? ?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] theradioinside:
I know you can insert the option to do photonic but on the last version you could take a photo at a different angle and it would line it up and take the text out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] MarkP80nj:
I miss having the phone option and calculator in multi window, but can't remember if that was stock or a mod
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Texus915:
The note 5 pretty much uses the same software from the s6 so saying it was stripped on the note 5 isn't really factual
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] nique0201:
Ummmmm. It is factual when the note 5 is the successor to the note 4. So as an upgrade you typically expect the same plus more... Or the same but enhanced.... Not a lot of useful things removed... All you proved was that the same things stripped from the note 5 (vs the note 4) were stripped from the S6 (vs the s5)... So actually your statement is the one not factual. Now we understand there are trade offs like the next gen memory processors and losing SD support... But why some software things were left out is kind of mind boggling.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] MarkP80nj:
Another thing I missed was mhl support. I now have a mhl cable sitting at home with no purpose in life.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] cletusarrarr:
So ive been using my note 4 for a while and its been serving me well, however playing clash of clans ive had to charge it twice a day and the original battery doesnt hold that very well as it used to,

And with the newly announced Note 5 being meh, i don't think im gonna switch phones anytime soon. however id like to change the battery on this one.

im wondering if anybody could recommend any genuine source of OEM batteries for cheap, doesnt matter if they are pulled outta new phones or the likes , as long as they are genuine ( and probably cheap) looking to buy a couple.

There are many on ebay but most have mixed reviews so could not conclude, oh and i do not want an extended battery, fast charging has made life quite easy for me so it isnt on the charger all day.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] emilgue:
I've been using anker batteries from Amazon and they perform as well as OEM. It comes with battery chargers too, so I always have 2 fully charged extra when needed.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] cletusarrarr:

Oem battery and charging dock from samsung 49.99 at best by
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] sino8r:
I totally understand not wanting a 3rd party one. Even the good ones aren't extremely accurate. Amazon has one I bought last year (oem and not counterfeit) for $20. Works great. I'd recommend buying it directly from the first source and not 3rd party for cheaper. That's when some folks occasionally run into trouble.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00NT...+4+battery&dpPl=1&dpID=41JL0KhrkuL&ref=plSrch

Also, your cell carrier can provide replacements if you have a extended warranty/insurance for no charge. I just got one from T-mobile because mine finally failed. I rough on batteries. I only had to pay for shipping. If all else fails or your uncomfortable with that and have the extra... Grab the charger plus battery deal from Samsung directly. You get a new battery and have an extra (old one) for a backup with no pain of leaving phone on charger. Very handy! Good luck!

This... As well. I got the Samsung protective case with mine. I have 4 other cases and this one is by far the best. Very thin and it even looks like there is no case to most users. Has a decent lip to protect the screen somewhat and bumpers on the corners. Highly recommended

Data Transferring Tool for All Android Powered Devices​

There are several ways to transfer data between different type of devices. For Example, from SmartPhones to Another SmartDevices By Bluetooth that devices should connect together. Your App should handle these Processes. Beside using sensors to transfer data between devices there is In-App feature that allows Send/Receive data inside app. For Example Send Data from App on SmartPhone to client side on SmartWatch. In this way the application use system connection and it will handle data and not processes of detecting & connecting to peer(s).

In this thread I will write several Programming Tutorials for Data Transferring in Android.

Then I will use these tutorials to create a Tool for Send/Receive all types of Data to All Android Powered Devices.

Android TV [Data Transferring]

​

### Let Start Coding ###
​

For TV Apps you must just Focus on GUI. You can use all your codes for Phone App but for Bigger Layout Components.

Also There might be some limitation for Hardware on TV.

This is list of Un-Supported Hardware feature on Android TV

Touchscreen - android.hardware.touchscreen
Touchscreen emulator - android.hardware.faketouch
Telephony - android.hardware.telephony
Camera - android.hardware.camera
Near Field Communications (NFC) - android.hardware.nfc
GPS - android.hardware.location.gps
Microphone - android.hardware.microphone
Sensors - android.hardware.sensor

. from Bottom to Top

In AndroidManifest.xml you must declare <activity /> for TV class with different Category for Intent Filter & Theme.

<activity
android:name="com.example.android.TvActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/[COLOR=Red][B]Theme.Leanback[/B][/COLOR]">

<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="[COLOR=Red][B]android.intent.category.LEANBACK_LAUNCHER[/B][/COLOR]" />
</intent-filter>

</activity>

& Under <manifest/> declare TV Support Library usage.

<uses-feature android:name="android.software.leanback"
android:required="false" />

Before/After this declaration you need to configue Hardware feature requirement. For Example:

...
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.touchscreen"
android:required="false" />
...

Also When you want to Add TV support you should design new graphical element as banner for LeanBackLauncher

Under <application /> add

...
android:banner="@drawable/banner"
...

After this Focus on GUI & Test App. You need to define bigger graphical component that user can see from longer distance compare when look at phone or tablet.

NOTE: Creating TV Module Using Android Studio Will Add Everything you need for TV App automatically.

[Android Apps and Games] grokus:
I wanted a simple auto brightness app that scaled a wide range from full bright to very dim without having to manage very specific settings to get it to work properly. I created Lumen to do just that. I also wanted to create something that would get as bright as adaptive brightness does on full brightness but still dims to appropriate levels.

Lumen features:

* Custom color filter - includes ability to put filter on timers.

* One touch notification bar controls for brightness boost and color filter. Brightness boost also temporarily adjusts your screen timeout to 5 minutes. Once you turn off the boost or turn the screen off it reverts back to normal. Great for gaming or showing something to your friends.

*Automatically scales from night mode to full bright. Allows calibration slightly to easily accommodate different phones sensors.

Please let me know what you think, especially with the brightness levels that my algorithm puts out. Thanks!

Hi,

I'm on CM12.1 Nightlies, and I'm looking into the Smart lock features. I've added an NFC tag to the trusted devices, but I don't really understand how it works now...

I expected to be able to scan my tag when screen is locked, to easily unlock it, but when I do nothing happens, like if NFC weren't even enabled when screen locked (if that's the case it's stupid to even let me select a NFC trusted device, right?)

Anyone know how NFC trusted devices is intended to work in CM12.1?

Anything more I should look at?

Btw. I'm using AK kernel 300, not sure it can have anything to do here...

Any help or pointer is much appreciated. TIA.

Any more info about how that works? After digging a bit more into it in Google I found that the phone must already be unlocked, and must stay on top of the NFC tag, which is not at all what I expected and... Well, in my case worthless.

I'd value a lot more Trusted Wifi, which for whatever dumb reason Google hasn't thought useful to develop apparently (nor anybody contributing to CM unfortunately ?).

Try the NK2 stock tar. Backup internal sdcard (if you can) and wipe everything but extsdcard.

What you describe sounds like your bootloader is one of those that can't be downgraded. Have you ever been on Lollipop? {If so, you won't succeed getting it back to KitKat unless it never updated past OB7. In that case, you would have to Odin or KIES update to stock OG5. And root would only possible with kernel exploit on Beastmode kernel.}
