Do you need root access for version 1? And is it for every model edge?

Yes you have to be rooted to have access to system files and as for which notes it'll work with that I am not sure of also. I don't have one to test

Hello Kevin. I downloaded this while you still had it on the Note 4 forum. I didn't delete or rename SamsungCamera3.odex. The original is still in system/app. Do I need to remove it? I haven't tried recording anything longer than a few minutes and the camera works great.
Btw if anyone is reluctant to delete the files you can always rename to SamsungCamera3.apkBAK in case you need to go back.

Thanks for creating a thread here, love seeing the dev section slowly come alive for the Note Edge, the mod is working great using steps provided here, glad I could help by sending those files for ya.... looking forward to more features!
It's not much, but set ya some beer money (or whatever your beverage of choice is) 0GA3186303555254K

Any progress on the flashable zip? I'm not an expert, but I will help however I can

I'm glad to see you on here. I know it's easier once you have done it. I was going to start this Monday, so I'm extremely excited I don't have to. Now I get to work on changing the grid size of the launcher

Any hope for changing the dreadfully slow and tedious, paginated horizontal scrolling? A quick vertically scrolling app drawer would be fantastic. I can't understand why anyone (including Google) would think a paginated horizontally scrolling app drawer would be desirable. I'd much rather just fling straight to the app I want than slide --> slide --> slide --> slide --> slide --> slide --> slide.

Here is a revert just in case...

I can confirm it records beyond 5 minutes on UHD, even though the UI shows 5:00. It's recording right now. I'll report again when it stops.
EDIT:
It DID go well beyond 5 minutes, but was cut off at the 4GB mark (which I've seen reported elsewhere with videos in general). Is there a way to get around this? My SD card is formatted exFAT so the FS shouldn't be an issue. The final time was 11:52 (but this would vary video to video I presume depending on whenever the 4GB limit was reached).

[TOOLS] Screen ColourControl, Camera Enhancements, Screen Density, Boot Anim + MORE!

GALAXY NEXUS PHONE MODS
This is all part of the Galaxy Nexus ToolKit but I have made a new Thread for people who may not have noticed it, people who didnt need the ToolKit but may find some of the Mods useful or just people who want to talk about the Phone Mods specifically.
FUNCTIONS OF THE PHONE MODS SECTION V1.4 [GSM + LTE][13TH MARCH 2012]
Change the Screen Density (DPI)
CWM Recovery, Only 1 No in the Confirmation Screen
Camera Sounds (Disable/Enable Camera Shutter, Video Camera Shutter, Focus)
Camera Enhancements (Increase Video Bitrate, Sound Bitrate, Photo Quality)
Change WiFi Scan Interval (Time between scanning for new Wifi Access Points)
Startup Boot Animation Screen (Disable/Enable which affects Boot Time)
Screen Colour Control (Change Gamma Offset and Colour Multiplier)
--------------------------------------------------------------
DOWNLOAD
The Phone Mods are part of the Galaxy Nexus ToolKit. You can download the latest version *HERE* (no need to install drivers if you already have adb/fastboot drivers installed) and select option 18 in the Main Menu to enter the Phone Mods Section.

--------------------------------------------------------------
USAGE
STOCK ROM users will need to enter the Mods Section via the Galaxy Nexus ToolKit as most functions need an insecure boot image which is set up from the Model Selection Screen of the ToolKit. If you are running a CUSTOM ROM (with insecure boot image) then you can run the ModsSection.exe directly if you wish.
ALL Mods Section functions require you to be booted into Android and connected to the PC via usb with adb/fastboot drivers installed. If you havent done this already then refer to the Galaxy Nexus ToolKit Thread for setup instructions.
The Galaxy Nexus ToolKit and Mods Section are very tightly integrated and so is impossible to seperate the 2 parts unless I want to cut out Stock Rom users (which I dont) so please dont ask if I can split them up. I could but its just not worth it.
Lastly if you have any ideas for functions that can be added to the Mods Section or just want to discuss a particular function then feel free.

Already used your tool kit to root, unlock, and flash recovery!!! Awesome work you've done, it's too easy Glad to see you made a separate thread for this, I agree it got kind of lost in the original thread.

Hmm, I like the idea of being able to disable the boot animation, and I'll give the camera improvements a go and report back.
I've always tried to beat something into my geeks when I'm teaching IT classes, and that's the idea of "Do it right, make it easy". You sir, have done a great job at putting together this toolkit in a way that makes things simple, and with great documentation. Nice work!

Thank you im sure your geeks learn alot from you lol
Disabling the boot animation knocks about 5 seconds off the bootup time and there are a few Roms with not very desirable graphics lol.
Please do report back I always welcome any feedback and ideas for additions.

What Rom and kernel are you using?
Are you booted into Android and connected via usb cable before starting?
I dont know where the fast usb charge option is but as the previous user posted you can try to disable that and try again.
Also if you go back into the main ToolKit are you seeing the serial number under adb at the top?

I do want to have versions of the ToolKit for Mac and Linux if I can get some testers and/or people who can help me convert the scripts. Im guessing most of the scripts should work fine as they are just adb/fastboot commands but there may be differences with pauses and some search replace routines.
Do linux bash scripts work on unix?

Wow.. that's more handy..
Thanks for the nee options being included in your tool..

I second this question, but on the other hand, we all have seen mskips dev work before this. A Nand backup/restore would solve everything, so don't fear a try..

Click to collapse
The enhancement does exactly what it states on the screen when you select option 4 in the phone mods section:
This mod focuses on the media_profiles.xml file in the /etc/ folder on your phone.
The x2 Quality Settings doubles the standard camcorder bitrate for 480P, 720P and 1080P [8M, 16M, 24M] as well as change the quality settings for the camera to 100, 85, 75 [from 95, 80, 70] and the memcap setting to 25000000.
The Medium Quality Settings push the camcorder bitrate up even more for 480P, 720P and 1080P [10M, 20M, 35M] as well as change the quality settings for the camera to 100, 85, 75 [from 95, 80, 70] and the memcap setting to 30000000.
The High Quality Settings push the camcorder bitrate up to the max for 480P, 720P and 1080P [14M, 30M, 50M] as well increase the Audio bitrate up to 128k and increase the Audio channels to 2. The duration setting has also been changed to 60 from 30 for the above formats. All the quality settings for the camera have been forced to 100 and the memcap setting has been pushed up to 40000000.
These 3 profiles are for testing and I hope you get improvements using them but if you want to you can customize either of them from the mods folder and push them back to your phone.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
As for proof that the mod works I havent taken tests shots/videos with each mod but the stock bitrates for the camcorder are a bit low so increasing it can only benefit the quality of the captured image. Whether the highest setting is neccessary or not doesnt really matter as it is upto the end user to decide if they prefer it but I would definitely recommend applying at least the 2x setting .

I put a compulsory backup step in every mod section so that even on custom roms the original file can be saved to your computer before it is altered and pushed back if you dont like the changes. There is absolutely no chance of screwing up the camera app as only bitrates and quality settings are altered.

A NAND backup isnt needed as the file to be altered has to be backed up by the ToolKit in order to proceed so it can be easily and safely restored if the user wants to.

Does noone bother reading my posts properly lol
If you read my above post the camera quality (stills) is pushed up by pushing the modded settings.
The 2x and medium profiles pushes the 3 quality values of stills upto 100, 85 and 75 (instead of 95, 80, 70). The high quality profile pushes all 3 values upto 100 (meaning there is no compression in the images taken).

6. Call Recording Mod
IF YOU ARE ODEXED... Delete the SecPhone.odex first!! (/system/app/SecPhone.odex)
Here is the Modded SecPhone.apk that will give you the Call Recording Feature. (/system/app/SecPhone.apk)
Note: If you are a person that uses or cares about the swap calls button during a call, this will take it away.
Be sure to wipe the Dalvik Cache...
Mod info was pulled from multiple Roms that had it, but credit goes to PhantomHacker I believe?

These are the same as the GS3, found here. You'll need you MSL for some things. You can just call Sprint and they will give it to you. Also, they email it to you when you activate your device on their site.
##DEBUG# Menu (code: 777468)
is one I use a lot. The only place you can see the signal strength of your Lte or 3G. The bars at the top are for voice only.
##DATE# Menu
Here you can force LTE only, another I'll play with too.
##MSL# Menu
View - view current phone number/msid set.
Edit - write new phone number/msid

Moving to Themes and Apps as this is a modification to apps and not a "mod" in the XDA sense of the word, meaning development work modding ROMs, kernels, etc.
Is there any sort of breakdown sheet on what some of these things do exactly? Some of them i wouldnt know exactly what changes they would be making by chaing from true to false or visa versus.

That is a flashable zip. To install it you must be rooted, reboot to recovery and select install from zip. Then navigate to the directory you have the zip downloaded and select and flash it.
Otherwise again you will need to be rooted, and using a root file explorer you will need to manually modify the build.prop and/or feature.xml .
If you haven't rooted your device yet, there is a thread under general on how to root which has a youtube walk through which makes it very easy.
Hope this helps.

Thank you! So glad I can mute the camera now!
I've only changed the feature.xml setting for the contact reject list menu, it works, but made my stock email app inverted. I like it, so I'm not complaining, just giving a heads up. I think it is a side effect of modifying the file using Es file explorer on the phone. Stock, rooted, deodexed, stock kernel.

is there a mod to restore burst mode functionality like it is on the S3?
On my S3 Burst is its own mode and it does the AI Servo mode for focus (continious all the time adjusting auto focus) and when I press and hold the button BOOM it starts snapping pics.
the Note 2 is AGGRAVATINGLY different to the point where it won't work for what I need that burst mode for (shooting rockets)
in the note 2 there is no more "burst" mode instead its part of regular mode.
now if I sit their AI Focus works fine tap the button BAM instant shot BUT if I HOLD the button it does NOTHING first it does brand new full auto focus sequence AND THEN it starts the burst.
thats a huge problem when your "subject" is going to "poof" suddenly at 600mph ie it defeats the whole point of their "zero lag" improvements.
anyway to defeat that? to reenable burst as its own option with the ai driven focus and zero lag?
You might be able to try pulling the camera all from the s iii, I could be terribly wrong, but our cameras could be very similar.

[TUT] Permanently enable google hangous video calls over 3g/4g/lte

If you going to attempt install it, make phone backup in recovery first.
Your phone must be rooted!
This hack will permanently enable google hangouts video chat over non-wifi networks.
Basically it's the same as all other tutorials with modifying gtalk_vc_wifi_only entry in gservices.db except it enables it permanently.
Enable Video Chat over 3G/4G (GTalkEnabler) works only temporary.
Method 1 - automatic
Install attached modified GTalkEnabler
Method 2 - manual
You'll need SQLite Editor (or any other tool that can edit .db files)
1. open /data/data/com.google.android.gsf/databases/gservices.db (in SQLite it shows as Google Services Framework)
2. go to overrides (all other tutorials tell you to go to main section, but doing so only works temporary)
3. find gtalk_vc_wifi_only and change value to false. If there is none, then add a new entry
4. save changes and reboot

[EDIT]
I've modified original GTalkEnabler (see attachment) so it does the needed changes above and also added options to reboot phone or restart hangouts that doesn't require reboot (hopefully it won't break anything, if you going to try it, make sure you make backup in recovery)

Really? Bootloop after adding an entry into database? - this something new.
It works on CleanROM 4.9 and I find hard to believe that by adding an antry for hangouts in database would make a boot loop.
It must be something you did wrong.

That app modifies entry inside "main" section of that database, so it basically only a temporary solution. After you turn on/off wifi several times you have to use that app again to re-enable it and reboot the phone. Very inconvenient.
Also, worth mention, this restriction doesn't exist on T-Mob network, it's damn ATT blocking it, or making google block it (just tested T-Mob GS3 on with ATT sim and it didn't work, so it's not the phone related restriction).
This worked great for me on the latest Beanstalk.
Works great on rooted stock, 4g and wifi.

True, it is safer, but I disagree about "hardly an inconvenient". See, if you use hangouts a lot it is very unpredictable when it allows you use data connection and when it doesn't. And if you turn on/off wifi several times a day, you'd be restarting your phone several time a day to enable video chat via data connection - IMHO this is beyond inconvenience.
Personally I use hangouts because I don't have to worry about installing/starting other apps (skype), it's already there weather I want it or not and doesn't waste much resources if any. (skype for example uses 0.18% CPU about every other second by just sitting on a background)
Fortunately for us, that app is open source, perhaps someone could figure out how to change it?
No bootloop on CR5.0, although haven't reached anybody successfully yet, nobody online. Hangouts is making call thou where before it would tell me only wifi possible.
I've attached a modified version of GTalkEnabler to the original post, hopefully it will work for these who got bootloops.

[Clone] HDC One MAX 5.9" MTK6582 16GB / Real IR remote

Hi guys
I just got my hands on the clone called "HDC One MAX" (a.k.a. STAR One Max) with 5.9" MTK6582 16GB and Real IR remote control.
It is a perfect clone/replica of the known HTC One MAX 5.9" phablet.
I would like to start this thread to gather and collect as much info, tips & tricks, modifications, hacks etc. for this device as possible. Also the software/ROM on this phone is not 100% good yet, so I hope we can help each other fixing them.
First impressions:
The phone looks 1:1 to the original, this is one of the BEST clones I have ever seen - it even came in an original looking HTC box. Everything is 100% like on the original. The backcover and front speakers are made of real metal. The phone is also very heavy like the original. In matter for outer design they did a really good job.
It is equipped with 2 real front speakers, both speakers work! and they are actually pretty loud and nice. Still the quality is not near the original.
My phone came with the same bootup screen as the original and with all logos. Even the charger and USB cable is a perfect replica.
Overall the phone is very fast, and the UI almost looks like the real Sense from HTC. I am going to test it some more the next days, and write some extra later.

Action presentation video:
Benchmarks:
Antutu 16855
Cons & pros
- Very nice clone, looks 1:1 and has almost same materials
- Very big and clear screen, good colors
- 2 real dual speakers on the front
- Real IR remote control that works
- Google play store works, same does the stock Youtube app
- It came with good accessories, screenprotector & hardcase
- 3G works (I am in Germany, and here it works fine)
- The touch can act a bit strange sometimes
- Google play services is having a conflict on this phone
- The price is in the high end because of the use of real metal
- The fingerprint scanner has no real function it seems (yet?)
- No backlight in the touchbuttons
Camera test
The camera is "OK" and typical Mediatek

Tips & Tricks/Hacks
Can be rooted with latest Framaroot (select the last solution)
Can be backuped with MTK Droid Tools
Can install CWM via MTK Droid Tools
Issues
- The Google Play Services can not be updated together with Google Search, seems to be some kind of conflict on the phones software.
But I can use Youtube that was on the stock ROM when I got it, but I cant sign in. Still Google Play store works fine.
- Roaming warning can not be disabled in the options, but can be disabled with Xposed Framework and GravityBox.
- My homebutton can get unresponsive after I open the multitask overview (but turning off the screen, and on again, fixes the button again)
- After a factory reset and format of internal storage, I have lost the HTC bootup animation. I have the HTC One animation in my system/media, but for some reason the phone don't use it at bootup. It just bootup with a silverflashing "android" logo in the middle of the screen. Same with the shutdown animation. (I got my animations back with a CWM backup I made before I lost it)
The specifications (these should be the REAL specs, not the fake ones)
- Model: HDC One Max a.k.a STAR One MAX
- Display Size 5.9 inch / IPS / 1280*720 pixels
- Dual front speakers! both works, loud sound
- Band: 2G: GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz / 3G: WCDMA 2100MHz
- Single Micro-Sim Card
- GPS with EPO assistance to speed up postioning
- Shell Material: Aluminium alloy (corners plastic)
- OS: Android 4.4 2 (looks like fake)
- UI: Sense 5.5 (I think fake, but it is 99% like the original)
- CPU: MTK6582, Quad Core, 1.3GHz
- GPU: Imagination PowerVR SGX 544MP
- 1GB RAM / 16GB ROM
- SD Card slot
- Net Weight (Including battery) 217g

I recommend you to make a backup as the first thing, when you get the phone. A CWM backup and maybe also a backup with MTKdroidtools.
I lost the bootup animation after I tried to do a factory reset of the phone. But because of my CWM backup I could get it back again.
Overall the phone is really nice, and I am currently also using Xposed Framework with Gravity box on it, works fine. But I still haven't been able to fix the Google apps, so they can be updated.

What I would try is:
0. Make CWM backup off the original ROM, guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2730031
1. Factory reset and format internal totally if possible (HTC boot may be lost!)
2. Download the stock ROM from Needrom http://www.needrom.com/mobile/11-one-max-mt6582/ and flash it to the phone with Spflashtool use guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2730031
If your phones ROM have been modified in some way before, it must at least be stock by now with the flashed stock ROM.
3. If still not ok, ask the seller for a solution or send it back.

It sounds like the internal ROM is unmounted/damaged or changed for some reason on your phone.
It normally should have at least 14.39 GB internal storage available.
You didnt change anything to the EBR files or? I guess not.

greetings and enjoy
Thank you. I found it works great. Now we have one option other than LOS for nora. nora was not abandoned (lol)! Where is android_device_motorola_nora? I cannot find it.
Edit: What I noticed is about data connection. Phone and SMS seems okay but internet access via SIM does not work. Is it my personal issue?

I will confirm your problem with the mobile network later.
have patience
I flashed the ROM on my device today and most things seem to be working fine, inclidung mobile internet. However I'm having the exact same video/audio recording issues that I had with the LineageOS ROM for Nora. (see here https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-e5-nora-recovery-64bit.4235721/post-85658449 )
I have noticed both ROMs use the same kernel. Could that be the issue and does anybody know who to contact to make the issue known?

Did you try to change the camera application that comes by default for another?

works perfect for me
what you can do is check the APN

Yes, I checked both the default app and used Open Camera. The problem is exactly the same in both cases. I have also found that the problem only seems to start appearing after you turn off the phone for the first time. Still worked fine on the very first boot up and generally I think the phone might have to be running for a while (15 mins or so) for the problem to appear.
I also took a quick look at the gitlab link for the vendor files and as the most recent commit it mentions "Nuke useless camera blobs". Any chance those blobs might not have been all that useless after all?
Edit: the gitlab also says something like "Lineage 17.1" at the top, so I assume those vendor files are also shared between both ROMs?

@G.Kart or anyone else who might know: Do you think the missing camera blobs innthe vendor files might be a probable or at least possible explanation of the issue? If so, is it possible to just flash an older version of the vendor files on the current device or would that require a reset or recompiling of the whole ROM?

This one produces completely broken videos (photos are fine). I can only find them in the gallery app (not in VLC) and play them in neither.

The camera in devices where it usually fails with that camera is fixed but in your case I do not know what is happening
for other models the camera works so the blobs are not the problem (or at least I don't think so)

If I'm reading the gitlab correctly, it's only nora that seems to have some camera blobs removed. The commit is only mentioned in the nora folder.
If it's easy to put in the old vendor files, I'm willing to give it a shot either way, but I'm not sure what would be the correct way to do that.

Need rebuild
That's unfortunate. I did manage to narrow down the problem quite a bit more though which might also help with reproducing it. The problem actually doesn't occur with the first reboot, as I first suspected, but rather it occurs after you turn off the screen/put the phone to sleep.
So immediately after you boot up the phone the camera still records video fine (sometimes the app crashes after reboot though and cannot be opened, another reboot fixes it). But after you put the phone to sleep by pressing the power button (probably also if it goes to sleep automatically) the discrepancy starts showing up. So if you put your phone to sleep for five minutes and record a two second video, the resulting video will be 5:02 with the sound at the beginning and video at the end. If you put the phone to sleep again, the video length of the next video increases by about the same amount.
So the video length = actual video length + (time phone has been asleep since last reboot - 10 seconds or so). If you only put the phone to sleep for a few seconds, the discrepancy doesn't start yet, it has to be asleep for ~10 seconds or more.
So if anyone has the same device, they can try reproducing it by booting up the phone, taking a 5 second video, putting the phone to sleep for a few mins and then taking another 5 second video. The second video should then be of excess length.
So my guess would be that either the audio recording and video recording functionalities use different variables for timekeeping in the first place (time active vs time turned on) or that putting the phone to sleep kills some sort of time keeping functionality (maybe to conserve battery?) that the audio recording relies on while leaving the video equivalent untouched or vice versa.
Additional information: This is the crash report I got when the camers app crashed on me before I even opened it the first time (usually doesn't happen). Not sure if it's related to the other bug or whether there's a pattern behind the crashing:

These are some error reports I got when trying to record a video with "Simple Camera App" from.the F-Droid store. Also not sure if it's related because that app doesnt even work for taking pictures.

The default app, Open Camera and Focal all record photos and videos, but the videos all have the length/timekeeping problems. The app you that was linked here also crashed when trying to take a video.

Which apps specifically? Not sure I understand how that's supposed to change anything.
Gapps needed?
