Samsung Photo Editor permissions - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I was going to download the missing photo editor from samsung but when I went on samsungapps.com it has 52 of the 55 reviews bashing samsung for the program needing full access to your phone. I'm not a fan of that idea but I want a program that i can install from play that will
easily let me draw on my pictures I just took. Any ideas? I am not to sure how to install a .apk file on my un-rooted Bell note 2.
Any suggestions for an easy to use photo editor would be greatly appreciated.

If I do install it how can I block it from accessing the internet?

If you download a program like "LBE security master" you can set permissions for each program and connection, but I think you have to root your device!

I use Permissions Denied by Stephen (Stericson), I can't post links here though.
But I think you easily can find it on market.
Search for DroidWall on market.
Every rooted android phone should have this installed...
Thanx aton guys its working

Restore market link

Hello guys,
My problem is simple. I have tried some apps and games taken "from internet" and now market when try to update it gives me an error. This behaviour is OK but.... If i want to really buy this app to make the update I can't!!
I have tried unistalling it but market always says ne only "download" and i can't make the checkout!
So how can buy and app previously not bought??
Thanks

Have you tried to use Titanium Backup, I have not had this issue, however this app got a few options that could help you. Look into 'Market Tools' you should be able to unlink an app with the market.
I am not 100% it would solve your issues but it might help.

Thanks but this solution not fix the problem.
I have searched here and here I have found that the only solution is to downgrade the market to version before 3.x!! I think is not a good idea but If i want buy an app i can't...

This is interesting, but I guess there must be a different solution. Have you tried to buy anything with the old market then ? If it works maybe with some reverse engineering it would be possible to know what has changed. Maybe it depends of the protection used to protect the app and what was doing the crack. What about buying the apps using a browser on a computer ? It is not so bad for the users considering they can still use the applications/games however it is not good for the developers (They are losing some potential customers).

I have made my personal fix but I not think is a very good solution. Now I can buy apps but.... If someone can found better solution will be fantastic.
Simply i have made a new Google account and with tb i have detached the cracked apps from updates so now my market notify updates only for really bought apps and free.
When I want to bought cracked app i use my new and clean account.
It's not really bad solution but I really want use only one account...

Edit: ...tah. They just updatet market to v3.4.6 - it's named Play Store now. But the cracked-app-problem is still there... as if they wouldn't know anything about it... it's rediculous.

As a developer myself, I would say stop using cracked apps! Most apps have their free version equivalent available.
And more importantly, most developpers will refund you if you don't like their app, even after that ridiculous 15 minutes test period!
I can understand Google not caring about users using cracked apps, but nevertheless I agree that Google's attitude is often causing problems to app developers!
Like download issues, payment issues, license issues, to name a few... And those 15 minutes makes user get immediate refund if they have any doubts! Whereas the old one day period can give user a chance to figure out how the apps work.
Needless to say I receive daily feedback about purchase and download issues, which should actually be taken care of by Google. They are the distributor after all!
This issue has been fixed in the Google Play Store 3.5.16 update.
http://www.droid-life.com/2012/04/1...for-sideloaded-or-third-party-installed-apps/
Here's the link to download Play Store if it hasn't updated automatically for you yet.

When you press uninstall on a sideloaded app, Play Store notifies you that you haven't purchased the app. So you can buy it now.

Bloatwave removal app

I am looking for an app that can remove some system bloatwaves and I hav been using some apps in the play store but didn't work on my n7 so could anyone provide an app that could remove n7's bloatwaves?

Root explorer or ES file explorer and delete apps you don't want in /system/ app

Mind you, for system apps you will need root access.
Titanium backup and root paid version just freeze them.

What bloatware do you think is in your Nexus 7 anyway? Just disable them using the built-in mechanism, no need to remove anything.
Yea I've compiled aroma installers just for removing bloatware but this is usually carrier related garbage or touchwiz/motoblur/sense stuff. None of that exists here so I wouldn't even spend the time creating that. I don't think there is any bloatware here just maybe "unwanted" apps. which once rooted can be easily removed or just frozen/disabled.
where are bloatwares in a stock jellybean rom?simply deactivate what you don't want\like..no need to cancel..for example a rom like bamf has built-in the tool to deactivate system\apps.very usefull for a person in yours position..
As a matter of interest what apps/files can be frozen via titanium? Anyone got a list of which are safe to remove?

I'm interested in this too. My device isn't yet rooted. You can force stop apps from settings but I believe they start up again at reboot which is annoying. Maybe time to root my device!

NO! There is a Disable button on the same screen with the Force Close that disables apps since ICS.

Best File Manager?

I've been using FX File Explorer for a while and really like it. Developer just made several features a paid key; and root another paid key. Not sure if I want to buy unless I've ruled others out.
I just tried ES, and find the font way to small to read. Same problem with a couple others. Are there any good ones with adjustable font?
I just use androzip or root explorer.

Root explorer is great worth every cent! Its a must have.
Solid explorer by a mile. Anyone saying otherwise hasn't tried it yet.

I'm using Solid Explorer as well and can only recommend it.
It's still in beta though...
Besides Solid Explorer I use File Explorer when the former is buggy.

Well, since it's listed on their market Page as a feature, I guess it will before its released out of beta.

I was using File Expert "Dream Bubble Theme", but latest update seemed to ruin FE. Don't like how you can't sort by descending date.
Probably going to buy FX, it has the best ui of any suggested here (imo). Astro isn't too bad.

Solid explorer has complete root support for both system and data. It has for a while.

Another vote for Root Explorer, here. Worth every cent, and an absolute must-have
I'm not rooted, is Root Explorer OK for that? Tried "Solid", didn't like it as well as FX or Astro. Astro says it has themes, where are they? Do you have to buy it to see themes?

Don't know anything about astro, but the non-root version of root explorer is just called Explorer (by Speed Software), and it's free
Root Explorer, hands down.

Root explorer, but solid is growing on me.
Sent from my Nexus 7
Used to use ES File Explorer but found it was a little slow in picking up LAN, Net and Dropbox accounts.
So, I shifted to Solid Explorer and have not looked back since.
I can now log on to any of my WiFi PC's/Laptops or Cloud accounts practically instantaneously and love the two pane windows.
Plus it looks much better than an outdated ESFX.
Solid explorer is the best

[APP] Youtube2

This is the youtube2 app, this app allows you to download, and watch any videos on youtube, and you can play a video and turn off the screen and it will keep playing.
*Must be rooted*
To install this just download es file explorer from the play store.
Make sure you have the up to root settings checked.
Now just copy it to your system/app directory.
Then click and hold on it, and go to properties, and where it says permissions, make sure it is rw- rw- r--.
If it isn't rw- rw- r--, the click change and for User check read, and write. For Group check read, and write. For Other check read.
You might need to reboot.
Enjoy!!!
I would like to thank a few users.

Is there a way to get your channels syncing with your account?
Other than that this YouTube is working flawlessly.
Thnx

I have been trying to get it to sync, but it hasn't been working. "When you are in the app, hit the menu button, and hit my channel, and then click on your email. " I've been trying this.
This looks like the old froyo and gingerbread YouTube.

Will this work as a standalone app, instead of pushing it as a system app? I still wanna keep the default YouTube app.

make sure the permissions are set like in the first post, then just reboot your phone and it will show in the app drawer. You don't install it by clicking on the apk.
How dies it look on tablets? If there is a version for them?
I'm not sure. Give it a shot and report back please.
