I think it's because our device doesn't normally support these features directly from the camera. If you go to the system settings and select camera modes it will disable it and say that your device doesn't support this function/option! Most of the custom roms have dll's installed from Nokia that will allow the use of these feature through applications. So here's what you can do:
Download Nokia Creative Studios from the DevStore7 (if your running Deepshining custom rom) or from the Bazaar Marketplace, You can now use these features and take a picture from the camera with studio app... like panoramic shot, face warps, cartoon, sketch drawing and etc..
On the Bazaar Marketplace there's an app called Marketplace Configuration, which allows you to change your OEM (HTC) and device carrier (TMobile, for example) marketplace. When you change your marketplace selection you have to restart your device and when you open the windows marketplace it will be changed to the one that you have selected. Change the OEM to Samsung, and they have a camera studio app called Fun Shot, similar to Creative Studios but has some other effects like thermal camera! All of these features and camera modes work on the HD7!
I know that on omnia 7 it's possible to use nokia's dll on the custom rom (take a look in omnia 7 development). Why can't we have the same?

Yeah I don't know why the dll's aren't fully integrated so that they are usable directly from the camera!

Your request is very modest. You're asking someone to spend hours trying to establish whether certain apps run on the Note (or Android) or not.
Go visit the Google Market and see for yourself. There's tens of thousands of apps there, covering everything under the sun.
GNote can be rooted, that I can tell you, our future good member.

i came from an n900 too, was a good swap.
you can use something like eset mobile security for your sms con stuff. more or less the same thing, can remote wipe, remote lock, remote GPS, etc. although samsungdive.com will give you similar control via a web browser.
no xterminal that i know of, so you cant run 'sudo gainroot' but there are other ways of gaining root. theres a one click root method.
theres another app called 'gotya!' where it snaps a photo of whoever is trying to unlock your device and then emails the photo to you.
backup stuff can be handed via clockworkmod on custom firmwares or via samsung kies software.
there are plenty of emulators on the android market/google play or whatever its called now.
multitasking on android isnt as efficient as on the n900. on the n900, you have that multitask button, which was pure awesome. on android, by default the nearest thing we have is if you press and hold the home key, you can see the last bunch of recent apps, it doesnt tell you if its running or not. there was a visual task switcher on the market that ran similar to the n900 multitask method, but it doesnt run on anything newer than froyo. the next best thing would be something like 'smart task switcher'.
dunno about the other stuff you've mentioned though.
Hi Nicholes,
openssh - yes, there are several free ssh client apps, but better terminal emulator pro (£2.49) gets best reviews. I haven't tried ssh on the note myself (yet!) - I used it on n900 at first but soon replaced with openvpn which met my needs better. I've setup openvpn on my note (requires root and a custom kernel with tun.ko) it runs very nicely.
smscon - partial: samsung offer their own free app for the note, see: http://v2.samsungdive.com/help/guideRemoteControlsClear.do and there are other smilar free apps - however I haven't seen one that offers linux shell command "passthrough" via SMS like the SMScon app does for n900. I used to use reverse ssh to be able to do full remote control of my n900 outwith any apps - it took a while to get that set up to maintain tunnels across wifi/3G changes, and once I had it working I never had cause to use it Anyway, a combination of one of the free remote location pps plus ssh should give you most of what you're used to.
backup menu - I never used it on n900, but if you root the note then you have titanium backup (for apps/data) and CWM (full /system image).
evil alarm - haven't looked, but guaranteed to be one in android market (or should I say "google play" as it's about to be rebranded).
HEN - yes, note has full usb on the go/host mode out of the box, so much easier and more reliable, plug & play
xterminal - yes. plenty of terminal emulators to choose from, I use "terminal emulator". It's not as nice as n900, lacking the h/w keyboard and it doesn't support tab key to autocomplete, but pretty usable.
emulators - gain, no idea but pretty sure there are loads
vnc viewer - yes, I use pocketcloud free - excellent VNC client. The free version only allows one saved connection but that is sufficient for me. THe screen size of the note makes this a far better remote access solution than the n900 (even though I loved presenceVNC, you cant beat some physical real estate for remote access work). There is also 2x client for RDP client access to windows boxes. This is free, has no limitations, and works excellently. Again, better than RDP client on n900 partly due to better/more intuitive mouse/keyboard support but also jsut screen size.
root access - yes, pretty easy to do although some newer firmwares are not directly rootable (need a downgrade->root-> upgrade). Drawbacks to being rooted I've come across: some apps (eg. skygo for UK access to sky TV) don't work with rooted phones unless you jump through hoops;
and how is multitasking on galaxy note? errr ... a bit of a dissapointment after n900! task switching is a bit cumbersome by comparison (though fine once you are used to it) but android tends to arbitrarily remove tasks from memory if you aren't using them which sucks. Also, if you are watching video it's not easy to concurrently do other stuff on android - as soon as you switch away from video, it auto-pauses. that said, the extra RAM makes up to an extent
I'd suggest you re-post this question over at TMO - there is a samsung galaxy note thread there which has been running for a while and there are several active n900/note users on it who know much more than me about android and I think you'll probably get more/better replies there. They are currently discussing an Android video player that allows you to run the video windowed or even minimised
EDIT - oh, just noticed that you've already posted there too ... you're way ahead of me!

I did not find (or manage to compile) openssh for Android. dropbear has much less features (both client and server), so if you use any specific feature that openssh has and dropbear does not have, you might have a problem. I wrote a simple bash script to parse openssh's .ssh/config file and run dropbear with the correct parameters, which gives me a client that behaves similarly to openssh client.
xterminal - yes. plenty of terminal emulators to choose from, I use "terminal emulator". It's not as nice as n900, lacking the h/w keyboard and it doesn't support tab key to autocomplete, but pretty usable.

Tab completion is not a function of the terminal emulator, but of the shell. The ash shell which is included in busybox in packages such as "terminal emulator" and "sshdroid" does support tab completion. It is not the default login shell, so you need to change the configuration, or run it manually.

I did the swap and was obsessed with my n900. But the note is far far superior. Its not quite as 'nerdy' as the n900 in my opinion. But does everything I've asked of it. wait until you see the notes screen. Its blinding in comparison to the n900. You wont look back. Trust me. Providing you have some basic technical knowledge (which I assume you do coming from the Nokia) you will have no trouble rooting and playing with kernels. Etc. It seems to me that the devs for the note and for android in general provide more complete packages than I experienced on the n900. Kernels are optimized and roms have all the tweaks you would want applied. Where the n900 was more of a manual affair messing with the terminal (which I did love doing). I barely use the terminal now as most apps are very well written and have all the tweaks and features you need for customizing without the nitty gritty of line by line and scripts in the n900. Just my opinion though!

While on this issue, is there a replacement for Mappero (maemo-mapper)? The features I miss in Google Maps compared to Mappero are:
On map tracking (including display of track length).
Display of route length/route distance remaining.
Precaching of maps by coordinates or along routes.
Saving of routes (for using without internet access.
You've got many answers on the app side of questions so i'll just say this. I too came from the n900 and i am very disappointed with the multitasking. I also completely agree with _pigro_.
There isnt much else im not happy with though. The size is phoenominal!

Sure it is capable of running lots at the same time but the actual handling of multitasking on android is far inferior.
Dont get me wrong, i am impressed with android, but i expected better multitasking. I have also experienced closing of apps that i left running but most of the time its seems ok and i can get used to it as the note is impressive in every other way.
The n900 also gave live thumbnails of apps when switching which still impressed me for the two years after my contract ended that i kept the n900 for. Such a good phone for its time.

Is there a way to install a Samsung app on a non-Samsung phone? I have a developer unlocked Dell Venue Pro. Samsung offers a very nice RSS feed reader. I would sure love to have this. Is there a way to do this?
hi,
i don't know if this is the right section for your question, but nevertheless you had simply to change your marketplace to samsung marketplace.
you can do this for example with wphtweaks from windowsphonehacker and install the rss-reader after the change... i had test it with my hd7 right now..

Yes there is.
Download the most recent version of Marketplace Configuration XAP, version 2.0.3 (below) Goto WP7 RootTools and check the app as trusted. Open up Marketplace Configuration and change your OEM market to Samsung, click save and restart your device, then open up your Windows Marketplace and it will be changed to Samsung and download the RSS Reader. Once it's downloaded make sure to change back to your OEM market, click save and restart your device and enjoy the Samsung reader. You can also change the max download size without a WiFi connection, which is nice for downloading large apps and updates when not connected to WiFi. Just move the slider over to 200MB.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1624890
and if the apps you downloaded does not run on your device then you must perform this registry changes:
Template:
HKLM\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo
OemName = etc. Nokia, HTC, Samsung
MODeviceName = etc. Lumia 800, Mozart, OMNIA 7
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In your condition:
HKLM\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo
OemName = Samsung
MODeviceName = OMNIA 7
Here is a lil trick I came across for Lumina Windows Phone 8 devices that probably work on other devices but I haven't tried it. Basically all you have to do is go to Settings,Ease of Access,High Contrast and turn it on. Then go back to Settings, Theme and then choose light or dark themes. The only down side is that it disables your lock screen picture. I did this on my Lumina 822 and it worked great with no issues. So if you want something different than the same old boring tile colors this is worth looking into and trying.
Here is the link to a video that I' uploading to YouTube that should be up shortly.

I used the black and white combination the first few days after getting it but than changed back. Like every other combination it gets old after a while, but having the option is very nice.

Skinery Tiles Pro said:
Skinery allows you to apply custom themes on your live tiles. With Skinery, you can download new themes or use your own pictures as themes!
Skinery is the FIRST and ONLY custom theme app that lets you apply themes on third-party apps like WhatsApp, Facebook, Fancy. So far, all other custom theme apps can only apply themes on connectivity shortcuts such as Airplane Mode and Wifi - no third-party apps.
Skinery is also the ONLY app that can apply themes on ACTUAL live tiles. All other custom theme apps can only create FAKE secondary tiles to launch the actual app, thus losing all the live tiles features. However, the list of live tile apps that Skinery can support is limited. We need your help to include more live tile apps!
At the moment, Skinery supports 40 over apps. Stock apps such as Phone, Messaging and People Hub CANNOT be supported because they are restricted by Microsoft. For third party apps, Skinery needs the cooperation of app developers to include their apps. If an app is not included in Skinery, it is because that app developer has not given access to Skinery!
You can help Skinery to support more apps by asking the developer of those apps to contact Skinery at <blocked to prevent spam>

Hello Everybody,
Recently i bought Nokia Lumia 625 Black, WP8.0, i was thinking Nokia 'll give me fab experience using their Lumia Windows phone but i am really disappointed using its restricted windows phone, the things which i don't like in Windows phone are,
1) Can't easily manage my files on SDCARD/exSdcard, i have download many pdf file in my lumia and i tried to copy them in my laptop but surprisingly i saw that there is no folder for downloaded file in phone storage or extSdcard.
2) Camera photo quality is not that good.
3) I Can't hide my application which i was used to in my Android Core mobile.
4) There is no much app in app store and moreover they are oldest and not updated, many of their app crashes, like whatsapp, truecaller, etc.
5) Can't easily manage your ringtones.
6) Third party call recording is not working.
7) NO DUAL SIM so what it makes you satisfied is its battery performance, thats it, really disappointed buying nokia lumia windows series phone.
8) No option for USB tethering for internet sharing.
my question is that is there any option to manage file on sdcard or extsdcard?
No official file manager right now, but on WP 8.1 there is an app called Pocket File Manager( http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/pocket-file-manager/56dd9c3d-fe0a-4ceb-84b0-043e58e55b19 or search for it on the app store ) that should be able to manage the sdcard files. Again, you have to be on WP 8.1 in order to use it.
Pocket File Manager works just fine on 8.0, and has full access to the SD card there too. The 8.1 version could add more capabilities, but you don't strictly need it.
Camera quality is one of those you-get-what-you-pay-for situations. You bought a budget phone, with relatively low specs aside from its screen size. What did you expect? It'll give better camera performance than almost any other phone in the same price range, but no, it's not going to match a iPhone 5S or Lumia 1020 that costs 4x as much.
Not sure what you mean by "hide my application"; can you be more specific? I've used Android but not extensively.
The third-most popular platform is going to be the third to get apps, or app updates. In my experiences the first-party stuff works extremely well and the stuff from close partners is close, but third-party is a crapshoot. You could try unofficial clients, if you want; it's not that uncommon for them to be better than the official ones.
How much easier ringtone management do you want?!? It's the top item in Settings, and you can add custom ringtones and message alerts to any contact anywhere you can tap their name (People hub, Phone hub, Messaging hub, etc.). Creating ringtones from media files isn't easy with built-in tools but there are plenty of apps which can do it.
Call recording requires hooks at a level of the OS that could also be easily abused by malware. Microsoft could make a special API for that feature, but they haven't done so yet. If this is a vital feature for you, you should have researched what phones support this feature before buying... Most people never need it.
Dual-SIM is supported in the latest WP version, which your phone is upgradable to (which, I should point out, Android phones often aren't...). However, your actual phone doesn't have dual-SIM. If you wanted dual-SIM, why didn't you buy a dual-SIM phone, like the 630?
USB tethering is possible on some phones - for example, I can do it on my Ativ S - but it's unofficial. Is there some reason the official WiFi tethering doesn't work for you? You can still plug the phone into USB to keep it charged while you do that...
Ah I didn't know it was out for 8.0 also. Thanks for the clarification GDTD
February 20th. According to foreign media reports, Google launched the developer preview version of the next version of the Android operating system
New reported features.
1- "context-aware Bluetooth flight mode", that is, when the mobile phone is connected to a Bluetooth headset or a hearing aid, turning on the flight mode, Bluetooth will not be turned off.
2- A reverse wireless charging function, called "Battery Share".
3- Users will now be able to grant one-time location access to applications.
4- Android 11 brings a new link API to support 5G networks, so developers can take advantage of the improved speed and latency provided by 5G, such as making the app automatically provide the corresponding high-quality video when a high-quality network is detected.
5- Android 11 also adds a Bandwidth Estimator API that allows developers to easily determine the amount of downstream / uplink bandwidth available without the application having to query or calculate their own estimates.
6- Android 11 has added the function of levitating chat bubbles. As long as the APP uses a new API, the ongoing conversation can be suspended in the form of bubbles on the screen.
7- In addition, copy and paste have also been upgraded. If the app supports direct copy and paste of images, then Android 11 supports pasting pictures directly into the reply of the app, reducing the need for users to cut between multiple apps. Chrome APP now Supported.
8- Android 11 adds a one-time permission for location, microphone, and camera permissions. In other words, an app that has obtained a one-time permission will still ask the user for authorization next time.
9- Screen recording
10- New Motion Sense gestures to pause music.
Wow Android has truly turned into a boring software.

That's assuming someone actually managed to boot it. Tried with to different vendors and it won't boot wasted 2hrs.

Honestly the chat bubbles are a big deal and hopefully something the Android developer team is focusing on for the a11 release. Miss the heck out of Halo from paranoid Android team back in the day.
