Alternate launcher and loss of S-Pen features ? - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Hi there,
One quick question for those who may have tried: do we lose the Spen features when using any other launcher than Touchwiz ? I personally can't live without Nova... . And what about the widgets ?
Thanks in advance !

I've always used Nova on my Note's (N2,3 4 7) in the past and the SPen features worked. I don't remember them not working at least, although it is possible some of them may not have. I plan on using Nova again on my Note 8 and in the past upon taking the pen out the SPen features will likely pop up as they would on stock launcher. Others can chime in if they have further info and/or I am off on this.

They worked fine on the Note 7 with action launcher, at least those functions I use worked. I can also report the edge stuff still worked with it as well, again, those of them I used. It's possible something didn't in either case but I never ran into it. One thing that didn't work was their widgets, they seemed to have been tied in with the stock launcher.

I have a Samsung tablet where I use both Nova and Spen.

I've used Nova on my Note3 and Note5 and have no issues with SPen.

As far as I'm aware, the functionality of the S-pen is part of the firmware, not the launcher. Even custom ROMs that are based on official firmware should still support the S-pen. So go nuts. Try a different launcher every day. The S-pen will work fine.

Hi [emoji2]
Is it possible to write (take handwriting note) on Splanner like Note 4 ?
Thanks.

Nova was a Beast on my Note 7, should be just fine on Note 8. Once of the first things you'll wanna do after changing default screen resolution from the default Full HD+ to WQHD+ and then the Animation from 1 to 0.5.

It's a good point, the stock grid wastes a ton of space, you really want a better launcher just to better optimize the space even without getting into all the extra features.

I can't see why not but it's impossible to give a definitive answer when no one has the Note 8 yet.

Note 4 AOSP state

Just wondering how well does AOSP work so far for Note 4?
Do all features work without glitches? Are there still problems with Samsung not releasing drivers/documentation causing serious bugs and glitches? How is samsung-specific hardware (like S-Pen or fingerprint reader) functioning on AOSP builds?
I'm considering Note 4, but I want a phone with well working AOSP (for example Note 2 has a lot of issues, especially in Lollipop versions, presumably due to lack of Samsung's documentation).
Basic ly you lose all extra features with aosp
Crappy camera no pen. This is with all samsung phones

I'm aware about loosing all fancy samsung S-Pen apps but how well does S-Pen work technically (does it support right-click via pen button for example? This feature got cut in Lollipop on N2 for some reason so I'm wondering if it works on N4).

Again two phone were mentioned and I have no idea which you are referring to. I'll assume Note 4 .
Everything works fine. Even camera and sPen. UHD recording works. Battery life is ok. You'll get around 12-18 hours of moderate usage. Of course you will loose TW features but you should already have known that. If you don't use action memo, S-health, S-whatever, KNOX or use the downsize app feature (Which nothing supports it anyways) then you will be fine.
EDIT: I forgot to mention. If you have another Samsung accessory like the Samsung Gear 2 then you don't want to use anything but TouchWiz. Samsung has locked out paying customers from using them on anything unless it is running BloatWiz, I mean TouchWiz.
Yeah I meant Note 4, I mistyped, sorry (edited my post above).
Thanks for the answer.
Also @airwa1kin7 does what you said apply to Kitkat roms or also to Lollipop ones?

S-pen works fine. FV-5 camera is great and UHD recording works fine. Currently the finger print sensor is not supported, but might be in future versions, most of the code is there already: Google pulled it at the last moment cause Apple bought the company but most was uploaded already, so it should be doalbe to support it.
Battery is the same as TW. ROM is stable, no crashes or weird bugs.
Anyway make sure you buy the snapdragon variant if you want AOSP: Exynos chipset is not yet supported and I'd say you'll see the Note 5 in the shops before the Note 4 Exynos AOSP is stable.

Haven't used a KK AOSP ROM yet. If i'm going to go through the painful process of using 4.4.4 I'll just use TW instead of AOSP. I've primarily just used LL AOSP ROMS.

Yeah. s-pen Air view/command just works as in TW. And you can link ejects of the s-pen to an action (like opening your favourite memo). However you can not select and copy/paste a part of the screen although it should be easy to write an app for it, maybe it even exists (it should just overlay the screen with your sketch and then copy/paste that area).

There are several camera apps. The CM12 stock cam, the google cam, the FV-5 cam, open cam, snap cam, just to name a few. I don't like the CM12 stock cam too much neither but the FV-5 camera app is pretty good. It costs $3 though but those are $3 well spent in my opinion You don't need the Cm12 ROM to test them of course, they run on any android platform, so check them out, all available in the app store.
The Samsung cam app is indeed quite nice though, that's one of the few things Samsung actually did right

Oops. Auto correct on my phone. I meant the default AOSP camera app. It works fine for me. Even better then the TW app. Which is odd.

That I know. I was being silly.
I had CM12 on my note 4 for a couple of weeks, it wasn't stable enough for a daily driver really, some of the issues I had:
- Overheating, the phone gets hot, really hot, not just normal warming from charging or heavy use. On one occasion the phone smelt like burning electronics, i thought it was going to be dead.
- Camera is unstable, on first launch it was okay, subsequent launches gave an error of unable to connect to camera, only a reboot fixed it.
- Battery life is aweful, on echo i charge once a day on CM12 I had to charge 3 times a day.
- Random reboots, the phone would reboot then get stuck on the CM loading screen.
(I have the N910G,things maybe different on the N910F)
Yeah according to above replies N910F is considerably better than C edition (Apparently Exynos documentation still sucks way more than Qualcomm's?).
Thanks for the answer though, now I know N910G is completely off limits for me.

Lockscreen "My Interest" will be closed by Samsung on 17.12.2015

Today I received a message from Samsung that the lockscreen "My Interests" will end on 17.11.2015.
They do not tell the reason.
See my screenshot for the message.
I haven't found anything about this in the web.
I'm really upset about this. Samsung has promoted the feature especially.
Edit: It is 17.11.2015. Maybe a mod could fix this in topic

I care! This used to be the "Travel" wallpaper option (Note 2, Note 3) powered by TripAdvisor. On Note 4 it changed to My Interest and added new categories for image sources. I've been using it since Note 2.
Any good alternatives for Lock Screen wallpaper cycling?
I am actually using the other weather wallpaper can it is currently working
I just started using it a few weeks ago.
I mean its no surprise, Samsung backstabs customers wherever possible.
First the updates, then the stupid exclusivity (themes/slimTouchWiz), and now this?
Its just not surprising anymore.
Bought a Z3C recently, it OWNS my Note 4 Exynos regarding multitasking and performance. Never again - even if it means I have to give up my beloved ZeroLemon.
I've been using it since the Note 4 came out, I absolutely love it (used it for landscapes, night shots and travel). I will sorely miss it. Anyone have any interesting substitutes.

Yeah Exynos sucks pretty bad. My snapdragon Note 4 dances circles around my Exynos Tab S
I also tried to setup different backgrounds for launcher and lockscreen, but didn't succeed.
My idea was to use the Muzei wallpaper as a substitute for the Interests lockscreen, and have another wallpaper for the launcher (Nova, in my case).

MIUI EU vs MIUI stock

Hello,
What differences are there between MIUI EU and MIUI stock?
Less bloatware (is it really that bad? )
It's nice to have google stuff built in, but it's fairly easy to install anyway.
What else?
I'm wondering if it's really worth the trouble to switch to MIUI EU, if I can root the stock ROM anyway.
All of the reviews say the Mix is quite snappy, I'm wondering if all the lags/etc are caused by the MIUI EU rom?
Not sure if you read my posts on here complaining about the lags or not. But it sounded like you might have lol.
I was on EU ROM for about 3 days, and the user experience wasn't all that great at all. Snappy is the last word I would use to describe my experience with it. I'm switching to China Dev ROM, and I will see how well it runs on the Mi Mix comparing to EU ROM. Do note at the EU ROM is in very early stage, weekly build for Mi Mix has been suspended for 2 consecutive weeks. I'm sure EU ROM has a lot to bring in the near future. As of right now, I think I'm sticking to the stock ROM.

I had the same issue as well.
It feels buggy. I didn't face any lags when I was on the Chinese rom, but the eu rom seems to have some issues at the moment.
I had multiple freezes as well as slow downs.
---------- Post added at 08:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:15 PM ----------
Also, When I received my phone, the seller installed multi-language rom. It's not the eu rom.
I think they just enabled other languages on the Chinese rom, and It worked great.
Reverted to the twrp backup and its much smoother.
I'm the opposite of you guys. EU dev Rom was better for me than the China stable Rom. On CN, Play Store download lagged, time was not always correct due to locale always reverting back to China even though I set to a different country and had to turn off Auto Time Zone. I had issues downloading and being unable to set wallpapers and lock screen. The only way I could change it is by changing the themes.
But with EU dev, I didn't have any of those issues.
I would consider reflashing the EU dev to see if it helps or not but up to you.

Same here, had play store already on too. Everything worked great, left localization to China as nothing else seemed better and language was already English. The built in weather app didn't work but no biggy. What got me though, was being a Google Voice user I could set it to make all calls with GB - if I did calls would start with the dialer coming up but then immediately closing. Only worked for calls with GV set to not make any calls. Had to let it go.for this reason but if euro ROM doesn't have this GV making calls issue (can anyone try and advise) I would get another.

I was going to stick w/the Global MIUI,as I'm not having performance issues (Phone/Messaging/G-Mail/Data/WI-FI all excellent).
I wouldn't even mind the Xiaomi/MIUI Bloat if I could disable most of it,namely the built-in CleanMaster malware.
The memory management seems a bit aggressive as well,regarding recent apps,regardless of app/system settings.
Can the Xiaomi/MIUI/CleanMasterbloat be disabled on the stock/unrooted (?) EU ROM,or,is TWRP/ROOT (SD Maid/TI-Bu) the only solution?
I was able to disable the memory manager and clean up stuff, also some utility that seems to make you confirm permissions for apps over and over. Mine was China ROM with multi-language support added.

Which utility are you talking about? The one that ask for NFC permissions? I'm looking how to disable that.
One thing to add regarding EU rom is that BT is working properly now as before with CN rom, BT would take so many attempts just to connect. Now with EU, it connects automatically instead of me continuously trying to get it to connect. One thing I do miss is having wifi calling but I'll get over it.
I wasn't able to disable system apps until I installed https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.namelessrom.devicecontrol&hl=en
I found that app after googling it, http://www.ghacks.net/2016/04/11/remove-system-apps-from-xiaomi-devices/
Yeah, perhaps - if memory serves it was always asking for NFC permissions bit I think it did so with others.

I found it weird but didn't think nothing of it until recently. Been trying to figure out how to disable the NFC permissions on apps and I looked at apps permissions to see if i can turn it off but only saw: Contacts, Location, Phone and Storage.
Sorry, can't recall specifically but I think if you go in through their cleaner utility you can turn it off there.

Definitely gonna open a Xiaomi account here in a few minutes,gonna have to unlock/root/install the EU ROM,the memory management has seemingly went from bad to worse,turning off Google Play Music repeatedly,only keeping 3 apps in recents & having to manually connect my Gear S2 on every boot.
The latter two I can tolerate,especially the Gear S2,as it stays connected once I force/manually do so within the Gear Manager app.
But,the constant interruption of Google Play Music is not cool.
Seems MIUI is the mess I've been reading about for years,some of it is nice but,that Clean Master garbage keeps opening up stuff I don't want (Browser) & closing the things I actually use.
The settings seem redundant as for memory management/permissions: too many cooks in the kitchen.

Yeah its a mess, I had to go in there and manually set everything, I did set apps not to suspend like Play Music and others though. The best part of MIUI is its constant updates if you're into using MIUI, if you're into using stock. Hopefully, there will be devs creating ROM's for this phone soon.
I'm really liking this phone and I'll grow use to MIUI but I do miss the SPEN and TW calendar app though, lol.

OnePlus 5 Jelly Scrolling Issue Debunked/Solved

Figured out how to reproduce the jelly scrolling effect on every phone I have. The jelly scrolling effect isn't an issue with the OnePlus 5. I was able to reproduce the bug on my OnePlus 3T and Samsung Galaxy S7. Here is a video displaying the bug:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylPgd4V-z98
Let me know what you think and if you can reproduce it every time like myself.
Edit: Turns out the stock launcher doesn't have the issue, but nova launcher does. I'm not exactly sure why nova launcher is causing it to happen, but maybe that is why a lot of people are experiencing the issue. Nova launcher is the most popular launcher on the market.

Interesting , I can't seem to replicate on stock launcher I've had 3 devices now and none of them had the effect replaced for other reasons mainly just paranoia that I'd got one of the earlier manufacturer date that some had issues with so returned and got a later manufacturer date 10/6/17 , this one performing nice

Just tried with the stock launcher, I can't reproduce the bug at all.... Interesting indeed. I wonder if it's just a nova launcher issue? Could you try installing Nova Launcher and see if you can reproduce the bug?
Tried Nova just as smooth as stock for me although by default the icons are smaller and more on the page maybe it's something Todo with the Grid layout bigger icons more of a gap in between them or something
Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk
honestly i see nothing wrong in the video..
out of the dozen videos i have seen so far, i can only identify the jelly effect in one of them..
and that one is now used to illustrate the effect in all major sites/blogs i read..
not trying to imply anything.. maybe the only fact i come to realise from this jelly drama is that im one of the lucky few (who cannot see.. )

Strange, I just reinstalled nova and can reproduce the bug with stock settings. You're getting in between the grid on the app draw right? I was able to reproduce the bug on my 3t, s7 and LG tablet with nova launcher.
Yes in between app icons as said it defaults icons small think 5 in a row if reduce Grid to 4 in a row the gap between apps is greater will try with bigger gap

Try installing nova launcher and scrolling in between the app drawer grid (white area, completely avoid pressing the icons.) Let me know if you can duplicate it. I'm confused why other people are having issues reproducing it like myself. I was able to do it on 4 devices now.

Hmm, in the video it looks like I am directly in between the icons. I am under and middle part of the icons. Hopefully that makes sense. If that doesn't work, then I give up. >.>
Nope can't see it at all . Lol

That's fine. I installed Apex launcher and tested it. Definitely don't experience the jelly scrolling effect with it. Not a big deal if you don't want to contribute. Thanks for your feedback.

Hmm, o well. Thanks for trying at least. Appreciate it a lot. Wonder if other people will have the same issue I'm experiencing.
Only time I get a bit of judder is using appy geek app think due to the image adverts that play as you scroll through almost a jelly effect rather annoying but it's only app related

Issues solved? How? Where?
Still don't see the jelly on mine. I also ran into someone locally that also has a OP5 and he had no jelly screen either. I've got one of the early models and after this latest 4.5.5 update my bad wifi performance is finally gone which was the only real issue I had so far. I was also wondering if the whole jelly thing people are seeing is more noticeable with the standard white theme. I switched mine to the dark theme right out of the box.
Either way, I'm done trying to look for an "issue" that isn't there. I've been trying to spot an ounce of waviness/jellyness since the first reports started popping up and haven't seen anything as such since. Cant speak for anyone else but this is my second phone from OP and I personally have had nothing but great results on both.

I think some people are just more sensitive towards that Issue than others, just like the controversy about seeing 30/60/120 fps and so on

Thats the right way to go about it, if you can't see it, than there is no reason to furthermore try to find it.. Its like once you notice it, you pretty much cant unsee it.. so yeah, glad you dont see it, enjoy your phone!

Figured out how to reproduce the jelly scrolling effect on every phone I have. The jelly scrolling effect isn't an issue with the OnePlus 5. I was able to reproduce the bug on my OnePlus 3T and Samsung Galaxy S7. Here is a video displaying the bug:
Let me know what you think and if you can reproduce it every time like myself.
Edit: Turns out the stock launcher doesn't have the issue, but nova launcher does. I'm not exactly sure why nova launcher is causing it to happen, but maybe that is why a lot of people are experiencing the issue. Nova launcher is the most popular launcher on the market.

I always thought this jelly scrolling effect was bogus, ever since I got my oneplus 5 I have never ever seen anything like this...ever.

Dual cam

dual camera function no longer works with android 9
worse...
setting menu fails to open, and forces the camera app to crash.

This is a well known feature they have removed. It's not news.

Or, don't fiddle with the developer options, as you've stated in your own post.

But you're not using Android 8, anymore, are you? You were talking about Android 9 and so was I. Samsung removed the dual camera feature in Android 9, just like they have removed a great many other features, as well. These things are all well documented across the treads on this forum. It's nothing new.
FFS why didnt I read the CONS of the pie update...
I lost the dual camera, i lost the call recording options for what?
For Samsung UI?! Sure it looks better but.... its just UI
I loved this feature, the apk worked fine on 8. It's one feature I really miss. Does anyone know of an alternative that works well on the note 8 pie?

People need to stop being Iphone users. Back in the day, I recall they tried to remove the SD card with the S6. We didn't buy the phone.
Sales did horribly and Samsung said sure, we will put it back.
Now, everyone is flocking buying the S21, sales doing pretty good.
On top no one goes and tells Samsung on Twitter anything.
Samsung wants to make IPHONES.
That's their goal. That's why they paid millions to BTS singers just to get the fanbase.
