LG SmartShare

Does anyone know if it's possible to get the SmartShare app that comes with LG phones to work with the S3? Just got an LG smart TV and want to use this feature. I did find an APK, but it just force closes after installation with the message 'manufacturer not match'

I'm not sure on the implications of this and I would check but I suppose you could alter thebbuil prop to saybthis is an lg phone and not a Sammy.
Check first as I have no idea of it's problems etc

No it never will and never was! Works with LG's verry well, don't get the OP's point why he wants the SmartShare app if AllShare can do the same...
DLNA is a standard so should work with ALL DLNA capable products!
Only screen mirror and that kind of (non_DLNA) functions will work per brand...

I actually find BubbleUPnP better than AllShare too as you can assign a different video player app - take a look at that if you're not a fan of AllShare.

No Allshare app is only for Samsung devices for now. Samsung wants to include other brands too eventually but for now all Samsung devices can be connected thru it. My LG smart tv is not recognized on it and just like allshare, LG has their own Smartshare. OP can still use DLNA directly on S3 to connect his TV but allshare would only work with Samsung devices

I have actually patched the manufacturer check but it crashes on my Nexus 7... I will share apk here so you can test it on your device.
NOTE: I do not think this is going to work on any device exept LG becouse of some kernel modules that are developed by LG and included only in their phones.

Does not works :crying:

[Q] Book annotation with s pen?

In the Samsung guide to the Note 8 there is mention of an ebook reading software that allows users to annotate text using the s pen, make coloured highlights of text, etc. I don't seem to have this on my Note 8. I'm looking to be able to add handwritten notes with the s pen, not text entry annotation as in Play Books, Kindle, etc.
Any suggestions?
I have the UK Wi-Fi only Note 8.

This feature is exclusive to the "Readers Hub" App that should be installed stock on your note 8.0

OK, thanks for that.
Strange though, I don't have that app, and when I download it from the Samsung Apps store, it doesn't have that functionality. Anyone have an .apk they can share?

You can do that with... ezpdf
Best PDF reader with annotations... has Spen compatibility

well that is strange, as tapping on the screen (when a book is loaded) shows a top menu with a pen icon on left clicking that brings you into pen edit /mode.
You can also try downloading readers hub guide (free) from samsung store in the readers hub and it details almost everything.

The answer was that Readers Hub works in this spen-friendly way if you are opening an Epub format book (and maybe others, not tested) but not a PDF. So EzPDF is the annotation solution for PDFs, Readers Hub for Epub.
Thanks all.

ahh Nice, Didn't knew you were trying to do a pdf. adobe's reader also allows freehand annotations to some degree I think but might be lacking in some departments.

e-book reader with SPen Support Note 2/3
I am in a similar dilemma. This is what I am expecting:
A single e-book reader like moon+ or fabrik that can read both epub and mobi files.
Reader that connects to that specific folder on my Dropbox account which has all of my book collection saved in it.
Automatically scans that Dropbox folder for all the e-books and display them neatly in a shelf of 4 to 5 thumbnails per row just as it would display books that are saved on my phone's internal memory.
Gives me an option to cherry pick a book from my bookshelf. Once selected it should then download it to my device for offline reading and sync all changes to that particular e-book file only once my device is back online (similar to Repligo PDF reader).
Since I am addicted to my SPen, I want to have a similar experience when reading an e-book like I do when reading a paper book. So I would like to be in a position wherein I can not only highlight the text but scribble my own hand written notes as I read along. I then want these notes to be permanently saved on the e-book file being read (similar to Repligo PDF reader). This was possible on Samsung's reader hub app but since that has been integrated with Samsung hub, ability to upload or read your own book saved on the device has been taken away. You can only read what you buy from their store unfortunately. Although, cloud sync was not possible with Reader's Hub too.
Is there a product in the market that meets my above expectations?

Check Mantano reader (I use premium version, though may not be exactly what you looking for)

Thanks. Mantano's UX is not really good. This app further boxes up the note taking screen thus further reducing the screen real estate. Would you know if any other e-book reader. For now I am using Mantano too and moon+ for mobi e-books.

[Q] Will it be enough?

Hi XDA!
I'm thinking of buying myself a Galaxy Tab 10.1 (Wi-Fi only), and I wanted to ask you if it will be enough to cover my needs. The thing is, I don't know how the Intel Atom performs, and I thought that maybe the tablet would be laggy, so if you have some real-world experience with it, could you please help me?
Mostly, what I will do with it is:
- Viewing PDFs
- Viewing and editing office douments
- Video playback (maybe using an HDMI adapter on the micro-USB port, I think this tablet supports MHL)
- Lightweight Android games (Cut the rope, Where's my water, and the like, not Shadowgun nor heavy games)
Since the ROM scene for this tablet is pretty scarce, I thought of only rooting and removing bloatware. Maybe using Xposed? Opinions on that?
Thank you!

I got the tablet for very much the same reasons you mentioned. It works great for those needs. I had put MS Office on my S4 and thought it would work on the tablet, it does not. However, I use quick office on the tablet and then just verify formatting on my laptop later.
It will do all those things you mentioned out of the box. If you are looking to debloat and get flash support then I suggest checking out the Pimpdroid rom in the 10.1 development forum. It is easy to flash. Also has Xposed pre installed.
I have not used an adapter to do video playback but have synced it with Samsung link for video playback and surround sound music with my other samsung devices. It works well.
I would say get it. If you want to check out Pimpdroid do it.

Samsung ebooks on Nexus 7

Has anyone found a way to read/access ebooks purchased from Samsung on a Nexus 7? I have a couple of books purchased on my Galaxy 10.1 2014 edition that I would like to read on my N7. I can install Samsung Hub but it crashes won't open. I installed Readers hub, which opens briefly before it restarts the N7... I tried editing the build.prop to make it look like a galaxy s4, but no difference...
Does anyone know how to do this?

Are you happy that the embeded DRM isn't the problem? - if it is then I guess that drm removal is not an allowed topic here.
Have a look on the play store at Aldiko https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aldiko.android that software has AFAIK the longest list of supported formats. If you then look at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kitapyum.mobile.android.ebook that is the Turkish (looks like it could be bilingual) Samsung ebook reader. The look and feel of the software looks very similar to Aldiko

Thanks but these books have drm and I don't know how to remove them. I can buy and convert Kindle and Google books which are accessible on pretty much any device, but I can't seem to do anything with my Samsung ebook purchases on my Note 10.1 (2014). I can't even access them on another Samsung tablet from the same family that's still current! (Note 8).
Does anyone have any ideas?

Smart view.

Hi,
Is anybody running smart view on a tab s 8.4? I used my samsung tv in combination with a galaxy 7.0 n plus for a long time. But for my new s 8.4 I am not able to find any working smart view version.
Anybody the same problem or knows anybody a solution?
Thanks for help

I cannot believe that nobody wants to use a tab s in combination with a Samsung tv!

I have an 10.5" and a Samsung smart TV, where do i get smart view from.
John.

I seemed to have it in the past, but can also no longer find it. I have both a S 8 and S10, and neither view it as a working title. I searched high and low to find out why, and it seems that it no longer can connect to newer Samsung TV sets. The iOS app works great, so its really annoying that my brand new samsung tablets cannot connect to my brand new samsung TV's, despite the fact that my much older iPhone 6 and iPad Air2 can connect without issue.
I did find a lot of people saying SmartView was also killed off for WatchOn. But, opening watchon on a brand new tablet gets an error about not being able to connect to the server. After doing some more digging, it appears Samsung killed this app/service at the end of 2014. So, if anyone has any ideas as to what I can use as a replacement, then please let me know, as this is the last missing piece for my Smart Home controller

I cannot find an Samsung app, I thought it was called allshare, I did download an app called "play to samsung" and it does work with my tv to an extent.
EDIT: Try This.

Allshare allows you to send data from your mobile to your TV (videos, pictures, music). Smart view does the opposite and is sending your TV screen to your mobile.

There are 2 versions:
Smart View 2.0
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.companion
SmartView 1.0
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sec.smartview.tz
Just give them a try

None of these versions is working on the tab s. That's a shame, cause the only reason to have a Samsung tab was smart view and my TV at home. If I had known that Samsung apps are not working on a Samsung tab, I had choosen definitly a tab from another manufacturer.
I tried also the customized versions you can find using google or here in the forum.

Did you read the link i posted earlier showing you have to activate the feature in the setting menu.
John.

Yes, I saw your link, but I think, you didn't read my postings: allshare allows you to browse content on your phone using your TV.
Smart view allows the other way and is able to send the TV signal to your mobile device.
You can follow the TV program that way in another room than your TV is localized. That is the feature I am searching for. You cannot do that using allshare.

Remote Control works using Smart View 1.0 with T800 but nothing shows up in dual view. It works fully with T520. I do not have the 8.4. (I had to use my smartphone to download a copy of SmartView 1.0, send it to dropbox then download/install in tablet).

Same here, remote control works with several versions, but no dual view...
