[Galaxy S3 Neo Themes and Apps] emabertax:
The thread is closed because in the last few months there is no news about rom or any work for s3 neo, there aren't developers who want to deal with our device. The thread for the moment will remain closed and will be reopened when there are new activities from other developers.

CHANGELOGS are in a second post. You can see the attual,old and future changelogs for every info of this thread;)

v1.4.3 TELEGRAM CHANNEL about this thread for news and updates

*******************************************************

hello to all the users of xda I decided to simplify the search of the most popular apps on custom rom of our beloved galaxy s3 neo. First of all, I want to bring an alternative camera app:

The CyanogenMod is a popular Rom by alternative users, one of the cons of this rom is THE CAMERA. Surfing the Internet (randomly) I found a camera that runs on many CyanogenMod (lollipop, 12 / 12.1), is very stable and has many features and settings than the traditional camera (i google that plug in almost any CyanogenMod ) which is very little we used because we can not customize our photos. the discouraged people use cameras on the play store type "retrica" or "Snapchat" with several filters (that some even change daily).

if you are users who just want to do simple photo, but you can easily use this camera:

CAMERA CYANOGENMOD:

Screenshot Fotocamera CM:

This camera works only for CyanogenMod and based them. another rom (exapmple motion rom) don't work (crash,bug ecc...)

v1.1.1: updated version v2.0.005 from previous v2.0.004. See the changelogs for more info and details

CameraMX v4.1.000:

I found in play store a new type of camera compatible with any cyanogenmod and i think also rom based on motion rom (also stock rom), you can install and use it as a simple app very easily. compared to the previous issued for Rom only based on CyanogenMod, this camera has more features; you can make animated photos (also in gif format), you can apply filters and various changes either to the latest photos taken both photos in every corner of your personal gallery

FM RADIO APP:

following the various threads of various xda here, I noticed that often look for a radio app that will work on your rom because maybe one you have installed is not working properly, or is not installed by the developer.

for sure if you have the original ROM (stock) you have the radio app provided by samsung but on other custom rom .... rom is based on cm and Rom based on motion ROM (or other) I have in almost every case that for you!

CYANOGENMOD (and rom based on them):

some build of CyanogenMod 12 and 12.1 were also given of the fm radio app (stable and functioning) other builds have not received their own, do not know why (I've tried several of 12 cm / 12.1).

in this case you have two possibilities:

- Flash a zip file containing the FM radio app created specifically for Rom cm

- Install one of the two app "spirit radio" you will find in "attached files"

MOTION ROM (and rom based on them):

for the moment as I know, there's only one way to install the app of fm radio and have it running fairly stable, by installing one of the two apps spirit2 or fm radyo (Always spirit 2 but in material design)

They are very simple to use, install as simple apk and when you open it, you just have to grant permissions, and you can now listen the radio station in your area. that's all:laugh:

pros and cons of each radio app:

CYANOGENMOD RADIO APP:

cyanogenmod is very stable and work successfully.It is an app that was written well enough without this many CyanogenMod ROM's could not get the FM radio. strongly recommend it for those who have a rom based on it (remix ressurection, blisspop ...)

Screenshot cyanogenmod radio app:

[IMG="Screenshot cyanogenmod radio app"]https://www.mediafire.com/convkey/7171/bfc61pzawz0hvpy6g.jpg[/IMG]

PROS:

records in high quality and you can automatically reply with the recorded time of your choice

for many countries can put their own frequency band on the settings

the upper right corner you have two choices to listen to the radio with headphones or with the speaker

CONS:

every time you change the radio band, preset radio stations will be reset automatically (I do not know if it's a bug)

the radio scan is sometimes too sensitive (only a few times, it is very rare)

MOTION ROM (or based on theme):

the motion Rom are rom mainly created to bring the features and apps in a rom a very nice phone like the Galaxy s5 (TW Motion Rom), the galaxy s6 (aditya, sammy ...) or the last galaxy s7 ( project lucky). some have entered the fm radio, others do not. on the thread of each rom there are users who share their app radio or give advice on which one to use.

"SPIRIT2":

it is a common alternative radio app when you have the radio in the rom and the developer he has not created a. also it works for Rom based cm, as the app works well enough, I recommend

Screenshot spirit2:

[IMG="screenshot spirit2"]https://www.mediafire.com/convkey/dad4/58padlex8nxon696g.jpg[/IMG]

PROS:

work on every motion rom based on them and work also on some cm rom

shows the power of the radio signal in the upper left in Dbm measure

in the past for some old motorola and xperia models also it served as fm transmitter

you can see the station you are listening to and change it from lock screen

CONS:

radio band only limited in two categories EU or US

has some settings that are not supported on s3 neo for hardware incompatibility (example transmit radio fm)

some app example shazam, when you have the radio on, may not work because the microphone is in use from the app

the app show google advertising (ads) removed on v1.1 (see the changelog)

"FM RADYO"(ever spirit2 but in material desing):

Screenshot Fm radyo:

[IMG="radyo fm screenshot"]https://www.mediafire.com/convkey/218a/hq18no7d91yf9hk6g.jpg[/IMG]

PROS:

work on every motion rom based on them and work also on some cm rom

material desing

you can see the station you are listening to and change it from lock screen

CONS:

radio band only limited in two categories EU or USA

it has a few settings

if you touch the screen at random, changing radio station (possible bug)

some app example shazam, when you have the radio on, may not work because the microphone is in use from the app(bug, born to spirit2 to transmit really fm radio wave for xperia and motorola models (old device for today)

CHRONUS: new app for weather widget (work very good):

the weather widget are about 4 months in many cm build fails to reach the yahoo server to make the updated data of the weather in their city. this thing I found it boring and I immediately installed this app to get back the same kind of weather widgets present in CyanogenMod but also with more features (need the pro version). I porter the app "chronus" finded on play store because this is really very good (and only) solution to your problem with the weather widget of your cyanogenmod. The bug it's not caused by the ROM but from a server error. This app work also in stock and another rom.

v1.3.2: CALIBRATE THE BATTERY after flashing new rom (reccomended):

Calibrate the battery it is necessary after flashing a custom rom (also if you reinstall the stock rom). This error it also disapper after a flash of new kernel (or from custom to stock). This problem is caused from the file "batterystats.bin" files present on system. To fix the problem you download the app "battery calibration" from play store and you follow this rules:

descharge your phone. (Attend the battery it is 5-10%)

Plug your phone to the charger (ELETRIC CHARGER: not USB/portable charger/car charger!)

wait until the battery is charged to 100% (don't use the phone while charging for every reason. If you use it, the battery information maybe will be falsified!)

when the battery is recharged full at 100%, wait more 10-15 minutes to be sure that Every cell is fully charged.

now open the app "battery calibration", grant the root permission and click "battery calibration"

now you can unplug the phone.

This problem can be occour if you use a custom battery with high mAh (example 5000 mAh, the original it is 2100 mAh). You fix the problem every with this app following ever this rules.

ROOT-XPOSED FRAMEWORK-BUSYBOX- CAMERA FIX TOOL

In this part of thread you can find the root permission installer, xposed framework file, busy box and fix. I have searched and simplified the search for this material that could be useful for those who may spend a lot of time to search.

ROOT PERMISSION:

You have any problem with ROOT permission after the install? No problem you can install the ROOT permission with a file zip (install only with a custom recovery).

DOWNLOAD root installer recovery v2.45 (zip)

DOWNLOAD root installer recovery v2.78 (zip)

In cyanogenmod ROM based you have installed the ROOT permission. To have root permission go in: settings->system info->click 5-6 times "build number" and automatically you active developer option. Now turn in settings->developer option-> and you search root permission and after in his menu list click "root and ADB". Now you have root permission enabled.

To manage proper the root permission with ever cyanogenmod version (and another custom rom), i recommend to use the app "supersu" available on play store and no another app. It is secure and very stable and you haven't any bug with the custom rom.

NOTE:

If you go on settings of supersu, you can use the pro version without buy the pro app or the license, at the end of settings click ENABLE PRO (it's 100% free in official app without install a cracked apk)

DOWNLOAD supersu from play store always updated

FOR CYANOGENMOD 12.1 ONLY

For have xposed framework file on system you download the xposed framework.zip and flash with recovery. After you wipe cache/dalvik cache and reboot.

No problem you flash with recovery this zip file, this file uninstall from your phone the xposed framework and the next reboot you will be able to use the phone and uninstall app than cause bootloop. Thats all
