Hello,
As you may already know, we can not make the app to work with most SAMSUNG devices due to samsung modifications in the native android lockscreen keyguard.
Only working properly on samsung google edition or with custom ROM like CyanogenMod. Sorry about that, we even purchased a Galaxy S5 to find a workaround for this, but this was not possible at the end.
We could create a Samsung exclusive version of Smart Unlock but this would be only possible if the samsung device is using PIN (and the PIN should be configured inside our app). We do not like this because you can not use lock pattern for example. We will consider for the future.
UPDATE: We are seriously thinking about this samsung compatibility only when using PIN. Many users requested this. Using PIN would also bring other possibiltys like better NFC support. I will keep this thread informed. I would expect a working beta release for samsung around the end of March.
It seems odd that this is the case as other applications such as SkipLock work fine on my Galaxy S5.
What is realy d problem with Samsung???

EDIT: The news changes so quickly!!!
"UPDTAE 1
UPDATE 2
Samsung could fix all three things via Android 3.0 for all his devices!
UPDATE 3
BREAKING NEWS: Problem is just the photo browser APK. Samsung will remove this.
UPDATE 4
Court: The Samsung Galaxy S, S II and Ace doesn't look like the iPhone."
So looks like they only won on a minor issue. Everything else is fine and dandy
Thanks to samfirmware
I think samsung will implement cyanogenmod officially on all galaxy device thats why they have hired stev kondik because implementing android 3.0 is not a bright idea on phone since it is optimized for tablet.Also we have to wait and see wether ice cream sandwich solve this problem.1 more probability is that samsung implement pure android UI just like nexus s.
As far as apple is concerned,everbody know that they are capable of of nothing other than blocking their competition.Fu** apple and steve job,he is going to die soon

Seems like Samsung wins!!! Except they have to remove the gallery app from their devices ?? (but who cares! )

They will not be implementing cm7, and the thing about 3.0 was about the galaxy tab.
Since the phones are banned they will need to change the software based on the infringing patents and go back to court with the latest models which could take months even years.
Sadly samsung will probably have to just make a new galaxy s 2 under a new name to continue sales
edit: ffs.. this is constantly changing, I retract my latest comment.
First of all: **** apple with there ******* **** devices that are locked up like there Joran van der Sloot, WTF!
I'm never gonna buy any device from them again, i have a iTouch (2g) and its locked up as hell, and if i want to jailbreak the thing gets even slower then it already is.
I hope that when they remove the gallery they'll state that it's available on the market for free (gallery 3d, I think).
I'm dont think they'll change it with the SGS, they'll probably just stop selling them as the sales are low and they have the SGS plus.
I'm living in the Netherlands and I was thinking that the court here would be better then in the US.
But i'm having my doubts about that.
All the android devices have a gallery where you have to swipe to see the next picture, why is Apple riping samsung and not Google (there scared of google?)

Yup.. Mayb Sammy shd counter sue apply for lost of sales of Tablet due delayed.
Yeah.. I got an email about an hour ago saying this:
Welcome to your Galaxy Nexus!
Built in partnership by Samsung and Google, Galaxy Nexus has a vibrant HD Super AMOLED display and is the first phone that comes with Android 4.0, Face Unlock, Android Beam™ and the latest Google apps. Simple, beautiful and beyond smart.
And at the bottom....
We sent you this one-time welcome message because you recently activated your Google account on a Galaxy Nexus phone.
Is this from CM9? Or is my google account hacked?
I got it too. I'm assuming that something in the ROM is faking a Galaxy Nexus. Either that or Google assumes that all 4.0+ activations at this point are the Galaxy Nexus, although I believe some other devices like the Transformer Prime have started getting their official updates to ICS as well.
Oh ... so I am not being sent a Galaxy Nexus?
This happened with a ROM on the Captivate too. The build.prop mimicked a certain phone (Nexus S I believe) and tons of people got that "Welcome to the Nexus program" email. Or, maybe it was the mod to make Netflix work in the market (before it supported all 2.2 devices) ... something like that.
Sent from my Galaxy S II (i777)
Lol. I thought that was an odd email.
Someone could create support for these two options in the Galaxy Tab P5110

It will be great to see Multi-windows option on our Galaxy Tab 2.
Maybe Samsung will make it for us. Unfortunately, I think, Samsung can't do this, because Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 is no longer top model of Galaxy Tabs. Now Samsung Galaxy Note II is newsest, and it is Samsung's eye in head
Waiting for modders, who's can make it for us ...
Samsung is a shame that as soon leave this tab, but I guess if you can create multi-window support. In the S2 have introduced multi-window support, ripple effect and ink. What is required is that some developer support us will try to get help to bring these improvements to our tablet

It will not to be easy.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 is commercial tablet. There's no much difference between Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 ...
One thing making Samsung politics is buissnes. That's all. Samsung want a lot of money and they are not interesting in older devices which makes less of money now. Sad but true.
I thinks it is possible because note 1 n7000 don't have multi windows et ripple effect et alliance team make this
I am small dev I make rom for note 1 and note 2 but not release in xda for my reason...
If you want we work in integrated this goodies?
Because section tab 2 is dead pffff
Pm me if you want and sorry for my English very bad looool
Yes it could be done, if someone will port the mods from the threads below to work with some of our ROMs once we get JB 4.1.2 from Samsung.

What a ridiculous comment. Samsung does a good job of software updates for older devices. Better than most. Remember they make no money from updating your old device and the reason to be in business is to make a profit, not to cater to every whim of power users. Most people that own these tablets wouldn't even know what a software update is and could care less. They just want it to work and be reliable. So think the fact that Samsung churns out dozens of updated for a multitude of devices in variety of languages is pretty cool.
I once purchased a HTC Flyer, cool device , great hardware, pretty damn expensive. It never received one single software update and HTC dropped support for it after 4 months.
Samsung just put out a JB 4.1.1 update for your tablet this month. You expectations are unrealistic. Do you expect Samsung to assign a personal developer to you to support your every whine on a daily basis?
Want This sooo bad

It would be great to have it, but as I can see there is not one single custom ROM based on stock JB for the P5110
I wanted to try doing it myself, but I wasn't even able to make cygwin work on my PC...

is it possible to hv multiscreen?
just want it so badly....
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
of course it is possible on the part of devs, to a certain extent.
you need special kernels besides hardware support. Note 1 got a few leaks from samsung and got many other features of Note 2 going like airview, multi-windows, ink effect
xperiacle and nanomet have ported features from the tab to make certain features to work on Note 1 like floating multiwindows that can be minimised, multitasking
my knowledge is surface knowledge. without sammy support in the form of leaks it wouldnt have been possible for Note. otherwise Cyanogen would also give these features even though they are releasing 421 now.

yep you are right, that post was supposed to go in the Samsung tab 7 Plus thread.
But anyway, yes its possible using the same methods the SII uses.
yes, but there are a lot of developers in the S2 threads, I just hope there is at least a developer having the samsung galaxy tab 2 that will know how to do it and then share it with the rest of us

We've all seen new mobile phones (Optimus G, Galaxy S4, etc) come with a new feature called Multi-Window support. We have also seen older models (Galaxy S3) getting updates in order to support that feature.
I'd like to know if there's any chance of us getting this feature on our mobiles.

Normally we should have had QslideApps with V20 which are a sort of Multi window but LG proved once again how silly he is and did not released QslideApps for the O4X which is one of the best devices of LG :banghead:
However, we have Halo or Floating Window which are working like Multi-Window

Ok, so i'm assuming this is a common question but failed at search and there doesnt seem to be much in terms of FAQ on these subforums.
I've read that the samsung watches only work with samsung phones. is this still the case? what is the point in rooting the watches? does it allow to be used on other brands? does the other phone NEED to be rooted to use it?
many thanks and really sorry if it has been answered many times before.
I've been offered one (i think its the original gear not gear 2) for a decent price but dont know if it'll work on my sony z1 unrooted.
cheers
You really don't even need to search...just read some of the threads
The watch is only fully compatible with devices running android 4.3+ and touchwiz
You can however get a fair bit of stuff working on non touchwiz roms/devices with workarounds
