Just getting started here. In the second day of my transition from a rooted and custom rom'd HTC Sensation to the Note II. So far I have:
Got it rooted with CW recovery installed.
Made a nandroid of the stock TMO rom.
Installed Titanium and restored all my apps and settings.
Switched to Nova launcher (same as on the Sensation) and basically have it looking much like the Sensation it replaced, just way bigger!
I have some questions about the Note II:
In the stock camera app, I see you can "touch to focus" but you still have to press the shutter button. On the Sensation, with the Sense 4 camera from the One S, I could touch to focus AND shoot. Am I not seeing something or is "touch to focus & shoot" not available on this thing?
Also in the stock camera app, is there no "quick review" after taking a shot without tapping the thumbnail to enter the Gallery app? Again, I could just be not seeing it.
Why doesn't my generic 5 pin MHL HDMI adapter that worked on the Sensation not work on the Note II? Why do I need a 5 pin to 11 pin adapter? Where are the 11 pins? The micro USB port has only 5 pins.

Greetings All!
I tried searching the forums for this, but the closest answer I could find was (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1916771) - and I'm still confused.
I have a rooted Note II running a stable official Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 with Android 4.2.2.
My question is in regards to the stock camera for the Note II. I really liked that application versus the camera app by Cyanogenmod. I was wondering if there was anyway to overwrite the new camera app for the stock one.
Here's what I've tried so far:
1. I have access to another Note II (a friend of mine's) and I tried backing up the Gallery.apk (and the SamsungCamera.apk (or something like that)) and sending it over to be installed on my phone. I turned off verify apps, turned on Unkown sources, froze Cyanogenmod's gallery app, and then tried installing the gallery.apk, but to no avail. I also tried installing SamsungCamera.apk. I also tried making a backup of cyan's gallery app, uninstalling it, then installing the apks. The error I always get is "Application not Installed."
I have the apks that I'm trying to install uploaded to my Dropbox here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/uqub4hgp80yv8i1/lZEpewNM7O
I haven't yet tried to use the adb command to install the app. Could this make a difference?
Thanks so much in advance. If this question has already been posted, I'm sorry, but would appreciate a link pointing me in the right direction.
Thanks Again!
By stock camera you mean stock camera app provided by samsung's touchwiz? If yes, from what I know it's not yet possible or not possible. As CyanogenMod and Samsung's stock ROM has different frameworks.
It might be possible if someone can port it.

I see. OK, thanks so much for the response/help!

Sorry, but does this also go for the messaging app (the framework issue)?
Thanks!

I've been running Cyanogenmod on varied devices for maybe 3 years now. Wife had it on her original HTC EVO, I've put it on multiple co-worker phones, and I have two HP Touchpads with it for around 2 years. I love it.
However, Cyanogen doesn't have the awesome camera that the native Samsung app has. I have tested over 5 top rated Camera apps from Google Play (Pro HD, Camera MX, Cymera, etc) and none touch the ease, usability, features and quality of the native Samsung app. The "Best Face" & "HDR" are freaking awesome. I haven't seen any app that can touch those two, especially the HDR quality. The 'low light' feature is awesome too, but I didn't test to see if other apps offer the same.
l'd love to donate some change if someone could work out a proper port to Galaxy devices. I can't really goto Cyanogenmod & use the associated bland camera app. With a new baby @ home, that best face is a godsend. The HDR has really popped bunches of our pictures too.

Agreed.
I installed Beanstock (4.3) and love it except...I'm missing the features of the stock camera app, most specifically HDR and low light. Would love to have these features back and would donate as well if someone could help port it.
i also want stock samsung camera i have tested many camera apps but none of them can match samsung camera.
hope someone can help us or guide us
I would also second this! Low light and hdr are by far the best. I NEED an alternative to the stock cyanogenmod but I have fallen short on every search. I would galdly contribute to a fund for a solid camera app. Does anyone running CM have any suggestions for a camera app.
if i wanted to port the touchwiz framework so the samsung camera app will function properly, how would I go about doing this? is there a ton of different files that would need handpicked or is there a folder or some type of label that would mean it goes with the touchwiz framework? or would this take a considerable amount of work i.e. more than one afternoon...
the camera on cyanogenmod was the reason I went back to stock because the samsung camera just takes amazing pictures. the CM camera is a little more grainy and does not focus as well.
hello - "bumping"
any solution found yet?
I bought this tablet when it first came out because of my love for the S-Note app (equation/wolfram alpha integration). I returned it once I realised that the S-Note was not compatible with the older devices ( I had, still have the Note2 and Note8).
Is there any way now to have the old S-Note installed or to have the features that were lacking? Also the shape match feature became useless. I remember many user saying it was a downgrade to the previous models for this one app.
Has this changed?
Long story short, my friend has a Note 4 with T-Mobile running Hyperdrive rom by Sbreen94. He has the ability to swap through menus, pages, photos in gallery, and etc, using his home button/fingerprint scanner. Wth how can I get that feature, is that rom dependent? I've tested it on his phone, and it works like magic.
Hi guys,
Wanted to post this on the dev's page but apparenlty I need more than 10 posts before I can post anything there.. so here it goes first haha
Just wondering how the users who installed sixperience's Note5 port onto their Note4 are doing in general.
I installed v2.0 and it is a very nice port, but seems to have a few bugs/concerns
Camera - Pro mode crashes if I touch focus, colour temperature etc, it will then reject me from entering pro mode again until I reset the camera app's settings. Probably remembers the bad trigger that crashes the app and stays like that until its reset
Camera - Many of the effects do not work, touching the buttons does not do anything and instantly returns to the main view again.
Gallery - cannot play slow motion or fast motion video, it will crash if i try to play it
Widget - I am not sure if this was removed from Note5 or considered as a bloat feature and simply trimmed out by sixperience. Note4 had this scanning document widget (I think it was the basic S note widget) which I could use to take a photo of a paper and it nicely adjusted the colour/skew to create a very easy to read photo of a document/paper notes.
any other users? I believe finding these small issues will help the port becoming better in the coming versions..!
Wrong forum.
haha i know i already said that
What is this port? Is it an app or rom? Sounded like a rom, but after reading your entire post, maybe I misspoke. If it is a rom, then my statement still stands as the AT&T model can't flash a ported rom. Where can I find sixperience's port to look at?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/development/rom-sixperience-n5-port-v1-0-beta-t3204460
thats the main thread for the rom, its pretty nice really, camera is the only thing about it, i think it is better to just keep note 4 camera if possible as less featured but fully functioning camera is better than more featured but broken camera.. haha
Hello I just ordered one of these off eBay for $80 in excellent condition but I feel like I should've asked if sketchbook runs smooth enough on here? I know it's old hardware, but still better than Snapdragon 410 in Galaxy A tab. I wanted a small tablet with s pen (Wacom). I don't need it for anything else I have an iPhone 6s and i7 desktop and Skylake i3 laptop
what version JB 4.1.2 or 4.2.2? Hopefully you didn't get 4.4.2.
As of this month I finally got the best ever overall operation in 4.4.2. But it is not anywhere as perfect as 4.1.2 or 4.2.2
If by chance you have KK, you can either root and use a custom kernel or do the S Note fix to correct the spen pixel issue
It is easy to do, but any complain about it being trial and error. Once you get the knack, you'll wonder why you had such a problem in the first place.
I have the app in question along with Layer Paint HD, and Paper Artist. once you align your spen in KK, you won't have any issues with drawing apps.
There are custom ROMs that correct the spen issue but some still need work as they are not 100% fully functional as stock is.
Since I require perfect miracast functions, with minimal bugs with a nice layout. I was forced into manually selecting components from S5, Tab 4 and Note 2 stock ROMs, along with some ported system apps distributed by Devs. Some very few apps are from dead ROMs, where the Dev let rot away.
Yes you can run S5 apps in stock form, just need to root and run Xposed with app settings. Some apps require 320 or so DPI, and others may require 190 or 220. It is a trial and error, but they are stock, and with a build.prop mod, you can update them on Play or Galaxy.
I run the latest versions of Tab 4 version and S5 version of Peel Smart Remotes. As S5 has a better layout.
Some apps like Kids mode need a small tweak with a saved older sub app to run, though the lock screen widget interactions and gator animations are missing.
I run my N5110 as a T330 (Tab 4 8.0) in my build prop, 90% of the time, with out any issues with my apps. The remainder of my usage is in S5 form, as my Chrome Dev browser with Samsung's chrome customization system app, operates a wee better browsing on the Internet. Seems that the updated versions are not so device dependant in the build.prop requirements.
Hello thanks! Sounds good I don't have the device yet. I'm sure I'll be back with more questions. Hopefully it's not 4.4.2 like you said.
Okay sadly it has 4.4.2 Can yuu point me in the direction of the spen fix?
By the way I have SAMSUNG-SGH-I467 sounds like it's hard to root this device?
autocorrect sucks on your thread title...
Smith or smooth? XD
