Which apps can you customize s-pen clicks with? - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

I know YouTube works, the camera app obviously... But what else? Let's compile a list!
Am I correct that it works with Chrome but not Samsung Internet browser...? Because that makes no sense and made me switch back to Chrome.

The S Pen SDK has not yet been updated to allow 3rd party applications to make use of it, so your list is going to contain mostly Samsung apps.

That's what I thought, but then YouTube and Chrome are compatible... So I was confused. And the lack of Samsung Internet compatibility is mind-boggling.
Oh man, what is Tasker can integrate into the s-pen clicks... Oh man. The possibilities would be literally endless! I'm going to dream on that.

Fancy widget?

Anybody have the apk for fancy widget?
Yes, I do. I'm not at home right now, and I'm not sure when I will be home. I'm on a short vacation and the apk file is on my desktop computer at home. I found it on the internet if you want to look for it, or you can wait until I get back home (which will be Monday morning--I think).
I tried searching for it on google, but I think all of sites were forced to take it down due to HTC's C&D.
I love the look of Fancy Widget, but I'm constantly having a problem with the time not updating. The task is not being killed since it's on my task killer's ignore list. It seems to happen at random times...sometimes while the phone is in standby, other times while in use. Is there a solution for this?

It's funny you say that because BW has always worked perfectly for me, and for that reason I switched back to it. That's fine with me because I just saw a skin I really like, and I e-mailed the dev to see if he could modify it slightly. He cooperated and now BW looks very very close to the Sense look (other than the weather icon being on the right rather than centered).
This is the best HTC Sense-like clock. It looks even better than Weather Widget with h7c skin, but has this strange update issue, when I have to wait sometimes for clock to update.
BTW It shows us how Market is NOT open and without control . It's better than AppStore and we can always use *.apk, but it's sad that if some app isn't good for hTC for example, they simply delete it.
It wasn't deleted, HTC asked the developer to take it down I beleive. It was taken down by their choice from what I read, and probably a good idea. It was so similar to the HTC one, I'm sure they have rights on it

The Market never claimed to be open or without control, its just a heck of a lot less demanding/strict than the app store... The underlying code for Android is open but anything that manufacturers or devs add to the code itself (IE: Sense UI, Motoblur etc...) along with the apps on the market, are proprietary and therefore NOT open (unless otherwise stated).
no weather info is displayed on v1.2.4
How do you check if there is no virus or malware (calling international numbers i.e.) in any of these files? Is there any other way to check this, besides blind trust?

Should say in manifest (request privileges) if it can make phone calls -- which this app only asks for GPS & Internet access.

[Q] How can I get the memo app back?

I ran the super rooter extreme and it removed all the bloatware. Only problem is I actually liked the memo app. I've searched around but can't seem to find it... Does anyone know where I can download it?

Most likely referring to 3banana Notes: http://www.androidcentral.com/android-quick-app-3-banana-notes (App review and Market QR code at the bottom) or from AppBrain http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.threebanana.notes
Odin
That's what I did. I also liked the memo app, and after my experience with the all-in-one updater I got constant force closes. So I reflashed back to stock, and used Titanium back up (after rooted) to remove the bloatware I did not want.
yeah. Some of the ROMs and stuff they are coming up wiht look pretty good, except they are all removing all 'bloatware'. There are a couple of the apps I want to keep: Allshare (would actually like something better, but not finding an alternative); and the AT&T Hotspots app (Maybe there is a replacement?).
I put up all the stock captivate packages HERE.
The whole rar is HERE.

AABrowser

Welcome,
Who use this app?
https://github.com/slashmax/AABrowser
Could somebodey describe "instruction manual"?
I try to use but there is no keyboard, no tabs with favourites links
PS. There is some apps in big, main topics and is difficult to find them.
Maybe is better to create topic to every apps separately for example AA Mirror, Car Stream etc?

Yes? So what about AA Browser ?
One sentence on 184 page in General Discussion?
If you need a web browser for android auto head unit webviewauto.apk works great aabrowser works fine or at least did. I tested both with android auto 4.6,4.7,4.8 all worked fine on android 10. Aamirror was updated about a week ago and broke for android 10 the older version works just fine I didn't check but it is possible that aabrowser was updated and got broken.
Edit:
I use phenotype patcher to activate the apps in android 10/ android auto 4.8 but odd thing I noticed some apps didn't require activations.

Thank You for answer.
I want to ask how to use AA Browser? I can open this app on my car radio unit but in AA Browser (on radio screen) there is no keyboard to enter the adress, i don't see favourites tabs or similar things like in "normal browser".
How you choose what you want to see?
It it is working correctly it should let you use you're phones default keyboard. I have kii keyboard 2 installed.

In CarStream or Web Browser keyboard are showing in the same action.

Oh this for the suggestion, I'll try that out.
By chance do you have any opinion on different dialers? Currently on the older version of Oxygen OS I'm running, the dialer is fantastic as it allows you to slide between the four tabs.
It looks like in all of the current dialers you have to manually tap each tab and you can't just slide to navigate...ugh

Sorry, I'm actually a fan of Google's apps here ... I use the Google Dialer and Google Contacts on Lineage, but I do highly recommend that simple gallery app lol
Simple gallery still doesn't solve the problem completely... Stock Google camera still needs Google photos for picture preview after taking it, can't get rid of it for good...

not sure of ANY fix for this, unless you replace the camera - which is why most people get a Pixel to begin with.

Question Is the Camera hardcoded to only work with Google Photos?

Hey all,
So I've decided I want to use a different gallery app instead of the Google Photos.
However, after disabling Photos and expecting to get the choice of how to open it from the camera app, it specifically tells me to install Google Photos.
Am I correct to assume it's a hardcoded link?
If so. Is anybody aware of a way around this?
Thing is, I do like the Camera, just not Google Photos..
Try
Gcam mod
It is Google Camera app modded to enable additional features
It has option to use third party gallery apps, although I haven't used that setting.
Try 8.6.xx versions
For me 8.7.xx versions dont work on P7
Yes, camera is HARD CODED to only load that crappy gallery that uploads all your data to gooble.
If you were running a google-free OS, I'd suggest using https://github.com/lukaspieper/Gcam-Services-Provider/releases
Well, that's something...
How stable are those gcam mods?
I mean, I'll give it a go, but it looks like it's supporting up to android 11.
edit:
So I installed a gcam mod, but I can't seem to configure the gallery app to use with it.
Could you point me in the right direction @utk_spartan ?

Android 11 is the minimum version supported not the max.
I can't comment on stability, I don't use Camera much.
See the attached screenshots for enabling 3rd party gallery support in Settings.
Also for versions 8.6.x set interface to P6pro
Wel, it's still asking Google Photos for me, exactly what version are you on?

Strange how I have no issues disabling Google Photo, and then are able to use the camera in any 3rd party gallery-app downloaded from the store.
F-Stop and Piktures works without issues on my Panther.
"Hard coded" as you put it might mean something different for you than others I guess.

That's not what OP is talking about. When you take a picture with the camera, you see the little circular preview? If you tap that, it will load the picture in gooble photos. Not some other application, JUST that one. That connection is hardcoded. The only ways to break it is to either hack the camera application, or create a request forwarder that pretends to be gooble photos.

That was what I assumed he was talking about.
The 'circle' works fine here without Google Photo, but if one want to click the 'Google Photo'-button up top to the left, that doesn't work (since its for.. Google Photo).
Meaning preview should work regardless of device (I'm on Pixel 7, just for clarity).
GCam have however enabled this in the settings, so with GCam downloaded and installed - even the Google Photo-button can be swapped out.
It's funny, it does only work (the mod) when Google Photos is installed.
So that's sub-optimal...
But not the original one @dmbardal , I suspect you're using a mod too. If not, can you show where you set this?
