UI 2.5 update from Verizon - Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion

Just got UI 2.5 for my Note 10+ on Verizon

Same here. Thought it was just the September security update. Now I have to figure out what is actually new and useful.

Xposed Multiwindow Mod?

I'm looking to possibly get a Galaxy Note 8.0 down the road for a custom dash install for my car. I was wondering if there was a possibility to get the Xposed Multiwindow Mod from the Galaxy Note II to work on this device.

It works fine. Please do not comment if you are unsure of things, because you can start a huge row for developers.
I am running it right now on my tablet, and it runs great.
It works perfectly for me!

Really? Can you run Spotify and navigation side by side?
I was able to get it working also.
Folks should be aware that it is very difficult to use the CWR tools to get rid of it again at this time, though you can do it manually via ADB.
Also that Odin recovery does not wipe out installed apps, which I did not know and am happy about. (I tried changing dpi using a different one of the Xposed modules; it did not work and my phone bootlooped. I had the uninstall around, but was not able to install it via CWR.)
The multiwindow one works nicely. There's also an app in the play store that works for enabling multiwindow view for many more apps.
I don't use Spotify so I don't know about that one in particular.
Out of curiosity what is the diff with this and multi window mgr. Be gentle i am using mwm but int in the diff.

I don't know, MWM just didn't Work for me.

It's very similar to multiwindow manager, honestly. MWM is a little funky in that the app itself doesn't know that the Note 8 exists yet. I think I told it I was using a note II and it let me add whatever I wanted to multiwindow mode.
The one thing I have not tested yet with the new way of adding multiwindow functionality to the device is the camera. With MWM running, if multiwindow mode is enabled the camera locks up the device.

I haven't tried the camera yet while using it but I don't take many pix with a tablet. For MWM to work you have to disable the patch it mentions when you launch it first. Other than that it works with all my apps. I also love multi touch gestures app.Update just used the camera with no issues. First time I tried it. Pretty good image for a tablet.
I'm using the Xposed method and while the camera doesn't fc there is apparently no shutter button. In fact I'm typing this from one window with the camera in the other.
Sent from my GT-N5110 using Tapatalk 2
And I have to admit that this is far from my go-to camera - but occasionally I'll launch the app accidentally or on purpose, and it'd be nice to not have it hink out on me.
The fix for me has been to disable multiwindow mode in the system preference, and that may well work for the Xposed mwindow modification as well.
Xposed is a framework with developer interest from the companion Samsung devices and it may allow for other things to arrive fairly quickly on the device, before a full rom is ready.
This is awesome; I'm definitely going to be getting one of these for my dash install later this year

S Finder Emergency Update

Has anybody gotten this message/update? Is it safe to update with root?
Yes - I had this too and updated. But I suddenly thought that it didn't seem quite normal
Update just seems strange and I couldn't find anything on the web.

Any news on this yet?
I've just had this flash up on my screen but cancelled it as it didn't look right.
---------- Post added at 04:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:44 PM ----------
Just checked and it shows in my task manager as a Samsung Apps notice but when I open the Samsung Apps app it disappeared and does not show in Notifications. Very strange, I would proceed with caution until you know for sure that it's an official update​

Same issue here, cancelled for now. Not sure about this...

Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk
Still have the window up on my screen, not able to find any information on the matter online.
edit: Seems legit, since "Samsung Apps" is running the service/process (EUpdateService) (?)
I too have this on galaxy s5 I've emailed Samsung support for advice will post their response.
I'm guessing it's legit. I cancelled it to check which version I currently have and it's 1.0. I went to the Samsung Apps app and found this. S Finder 1.3 ready to update.
If anything, I'll update from Samsung Apps instead of this emergency message thing.
Just did the same as rawrfische took me from ver 1.0 to ver 2.2 don't seem to be getting pop-up anymore
Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
Thanks guys
Ditto. Updated to 1.3 from Samsung apps. Got to say Samsung need to make these update messages a lot more clearly identified as coming from them than that update screen.
Thanks guys :good:
Funny thing is that I cannot find S Finder anywhere in my Apps drawer but i can access it by holding down the menu button. I am rooted but didn't freeze it. I hope that updating it doesn't affect root.
How come everyone seems to be offered ver 1.3 not ver 2.2 as I was offered?

S Finder Update
I *hope* this is the correction to the S Finder search issues that I've encountered since the kitkat update. I absolutely loved s finder because it could search both my phone and other apps, most importantly, Evernote, with a single menu button click. since the update to kitkat, it has no longer been able to search Evernote or any of the other apps. I have posted about this problem at least three forums for Android, as well as the Evernote forum, but have gotten no meaningful responses to date. Fingers crossed!
I'm on AT&T NOTE 3 un Maryland but have not gotten the update as yet. Anyone have any other info re rollout timing?

Amazon 5.0 app from phone working on Nexus 7 2013

You can back up the app from your phone with a back up app, move it to your cloud storage or a flash drive (you can also use a SD card with a card reader). If you're using the cloud, just log in on you N7 & DL it. If it's on a SD reader or flash drive, connect it to your N7, go to where you saved it & DL.
Can confirm, installed in my phone, download video addon apk, copied both to nexus installed fine and now prime video works great

Installed fine but not working with latest Android L for me either. While Netflix works fine, I have no volume when streaming my Xfinity TV Go app. Hopefully, they'll get these apps up-to-date for Lollipop. Amazon Prime just stopped working as per the message it displayed.

Thank you for this comment. As little as I use my n7 I will just wait for app compatibility. Love tv go and the ability to download shows!
Do you have x1 cloud dvr yet?

No X1 at all. Comcast offered me a bit of a deal ($10. less for 2 years than I currently pay), but I had to use their modem. Further, I'm not at all sure how well it would work in our "end of the line/last to get anything" rural community. I also have a Slingbox that requires non-hdmi connection.
I would like to know if the X1 app works on L.

Sorry OP for taking over.
You need the wireless gateway 2 dpc3939. It's dual band wireless. That way we can rationalize paying monthly fee for modem and just think 96 a year for a guaranteed new modem router, not bad.
The x1 is awesome. You should look into it. We have 1 x1 dvr with three access boxes, one regular dta, and have every movie channel they offer and pay $186/mo after a $75 monthly discount (was 90 for a year now 75 and in Feb it drops off at which point I'll be calling back to get a new promo)
Just keep calling and tell them you are going to cancel and eventually you'll get retentions.
Your sling will work just fine with the x1 too. Plus once the cloud dvr goes to your area you'll have tons more storage and the ability to transfer your shows to your mobile device at home and take them to go.
. Just wish the cloud feature had sling box capabilities.
No clue if app is supported on L or when it will be.

Thanks for your response. Retentions is the one who called me. I pay $180./mo now (+$16. taxes,etc): performance internet; all premium but TMC; 2 HD boxes). They offered $160/mo for triple play premium (we have no home phone service and don't care to) guaranteed for 24 mos with no more than $25/mo increase for another year. I guess the modem rental fee was included. I'd also read (Comcast forums) that one box works with SlingBox but the other does not and consumers do not get to choose. Some said I could re-instate my modem after installation. It was four years for ondemand to get to my area. I don't want to start something that may not even service me once I have to pay that increase. Were you suggesting I need the wireless gateway? I'm not familiar with that so I don't know what the advantage is. I use an ASUS dual band router with a custom firmware; all computers, tv's, tablets, phones, dvd players, and game consoles have access. In any case, I'd still be interested to know if the X1 app works with Android L.
Crashes Amazon each time using those files above. I am running the L preview.
Someone in the N5 thread said it was now working with latest L preview. It's not for me on N7. Anyone have success? Do we need to find an updated apk?
Edit: yes, I needed to update the main app from 5.0.0 to 5.1.0. Now it works with L. Thanks to jhax01 in N5 thread.

Hide front touch buttons missing?

I was really hoping that the hide front touch buttons feature would be included in the Lollipop update. I know that my buddy in Sweden just got the LP update on his G2 and it's there. Is there anything that can be done to get the feature turned on or added? Did Sprint just remove it? I'm not interested in flashing a ROM to get it either. I ran Cloudy G2 (G3 UI) for a long time and now I want to stay stock for a while.
Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk
Sprint removed a lot! We got the update last and it's been stripped of features compared to other G2 versions. Seems like they hurried it out the door. I really miss wireless storage and lg home theme settings.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
I did find what appears to be the command to hide the feature in the manifest xml of LGSystemUI.apk.
com.lge.app.forceHideImmersiveConfirm
true
I'm away from home until tonight but when I get back I'm going to change that to "false" and replace the apk. I doubt that will make it show up but at least I'll know.

I think they are trying to slim software size for the new features on the 7...so they gut out apps they feel are unnecessary. I could be wrong though.

Samsung has responded to these criticisms. Action Memo will return in an update to Samsung Notes thatâ??ll roll out before late September.

As soon as the update comes, We can install the new version. Way to go, with the reviews and complaints to Samsung!
So the updated sketchbook comes with all the tools and brushes as the older versions except for the Note 3 version which came with some extras like the log and leaves brush tool as well as all the little people. The new update has the option to buy pro tools for 4.99 but so far I have everything working (I did not activate the free trial, I bypassed straight to the main screen). I am going to keep playing with it just to see if functionality becomes limited after trial period (just in case it activated trial anyways). Maybe the pro tools is a whole different set that aren't included in older versions. The app did force close a couple of times when I was trying to use a smudge tool over a spot that I had already smudged 4 times...
If anyone wants the 2.9.2 version that came with the Note 3 PM me and I'll send it to ya (in case you liked the leaves, logs, and peeps).

just wait a short time then go to playstore and look at your apps and you will see beta on the right... if it's available in your part of the world.. you can download
It shows, just says not compatible
They have the most recent beta on Aptoide. My phone shows not compatible for some bizarre reason but I had no trouble using the beta.
I haven't put it through all the paces yet. It converts all your Action Memos to normal notes at start up so if that bothers you for some reason don't run it. It seems to have some other enhancements with organization but still no Action Memo, tapping for note etc. I really wish we could get some feedback from Samsung about what the goal is here, why it is the arguably most popular feature is removed.
The beta notes about what is added by installing the extensions from within the app are completely inaccurate.
update: I actually think the note and folder tools are great. Some real mprovement with organization and fluidity of adding some things to notes. Just add back action memos!
