optical reader (ocr): get it to work plz - Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti

Guys look what I found!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2580317
the only problem: it doesn't work!!
Why? I don't know, but it gives force close when you open the app..
so hereby I ask our almighty devs put a little effort to it and make us happy again.
Tnx in advance.

Ha! The app is made for an S5 camera... As well as Video Clips and more for studio. Get a new tablet or an S6.
Oh by the way... If you do an edit to the system db you can put a quick connect button on your stock ui. Now I have one button to do three things, so less buttons needed. Also if you use s4 neo ui you can have s5 buttons on black. A nifty trick is to hold down the power save button and you'll get extra power save features. Works well with the mod to split columns your setting screen in the system db.

i did not understand the connect button thing... what does it do? how can i make these changes? any tutorial or screenshot?

Is there a way to add a notes button to the dialer screen?

As it is you have to go to the menu screen and scroll down in order to take a quick note. It would be a lot easier if there was a button. Thanks.
Could always use Keyboard Controller to set any hardware button to launch your note app.
umm isnt this standard on the tp2 already? I have one on my dialer...
theres an option to open a new note when you pull out the stylus.
Thanks...never knew about pulling out the stylus!
Cool. That's pretty easy.

[Request] Take pictures with the side button?

I know development is kinda sparse here for the droid pro...but anyway someone can modify the camera.apk to allow the side button to work for taking pictures?
yea that would be kinda nice.
Ive got it set up now so that the single side button opens the camera, but it doesnt take pics
Had that feature on my old BB Tour before I switched to the Droid Pro. Really miss that feature. Don't miss much of anything else though.
I posted this on droidforums.net. works with stock GB camera as well as MIUI camera apk which i like a bit better.
I have been wanting to use the side button as a shutter button since I got the Droid Proand it can be done using Button Re-Mapper
You must be rooted to use this app so.... First go to settings>applications>Quick Launch and press/hold side button to clear the assigned app, this setting will no longer work once we remap the button. Open button remapper and scroll all the way to the bottom of the list and click on 246 (Side) and change it to Camera with Wake_Dropped state, apply changes and reboot. This way, along with No Lock app installed, your side button will now wake the phone. Once the phone is awake, press/hold the side button and it will bring up the camera. Now press the side button while the camera app is active and it will snap the pic. Yay.
The next coolest thing would be an app that can reprogram button actions the buttons are pressed/held like on BlackBerry. This would allow press/hold button shortcuts from homescreen without using the search soft key as we have to use now.
THANK YOU for posting this, should be made sticky in a mods page. ButtonRemapper http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850464 and no lock from the matter go straight in my howto on this phone.
Another thing on my 3.8... verizon latest rom on settings, applications, quick launch you can do something similar to what you are saying pressing search + letter are keyboard shortcuts, like on BBs!
I'll also share that Toggle 2g/3g

works great and with widget it extends my battery even more.
Needs resigning of system apps on droid pro, be very careful and do things step by step adding pause in the batch file..
I added this comment http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17626210&posted=1#post17626210 for procedure with droid pro.s
The app ROCKS!

How to screenshot

How you screenshot on this phone?on my note 2 I could just swipe my hand across screen and it would screenshot. Anyone know?
Volume down plus power
Yup, this is the correct way to take a screenshot on the G4, AFAIK.
One could also tap on Quick Memo+ in the pulldown menu. This will take a screenshot and open it in Quick Memo+, allowing you to draw on it and whatnot - or just save it.

Ok thanks guys. Although it feels very awkward.... Haha
It's the standard way to take a screenshot on Android. Samsung added the slide the edge of the palm across the screen as one of their gimmicky tricks of TouchWiz. When I had the S3 and S4, it was finicky at best. It was much more reliable to press the power and volume down button.

I've owned the S4 and the S5, my wife currently has the S6 and I've NEVER been able to get a screenshot with the palm wipe BS.
I love the palm swipe Screen shot! It's very easy! However, my LgG2 is the best phone I've owned to date and I'm curious to see how the LgG4 is received. I skipped the G3 and went to note 4 so I'm watching really closely.
My main issue with the G4 will be battery.

I use Allinone Gesture and assign hold back touch button as a screenshot capture. That makes my life a lot easier.

Captivate and home button on side of screen?

Just got a used Note 10.1 2014 and the first thing buggin me is when using the Note I find it it difficult with the captivate and home button along the bottom. Is there an app that can move them to the right or left side of the screen? While holding it in landscape mode it just seems to make sense.

Have you tried pie control? Its a cool menu app that you can configure in any number of ways. If its not to your liking just search for "soft keys" in the play store and you will have many apps to choose from that are intended to do exactly what your looking to do. Some will require a rooted device, others won't. Pie control is a wonderful menu alternative and I know you can put soft keys in it too. heres a link for it https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jun.ace.piecontrol

Switch soft buttons?

Hi to everybody, how Can i switch soft buttons?
For example set back button on right?
Thank you
You'll need to root and install Xposed and the Gravity Box module.
I dont see why phone makers these days domt have that integrated, i mean if your gonna go with softkeys instead of the keys beimg on the device atleast make it so we can customize, specially google why dont they just add it as an android feature.

I personally don't use that, I don't like the Samsung layout of having the recent button on the right, it just feels off.
Few devices actually come with the option of swapping the back and recent buttons i assumed the Z Play did too.
I miss that!! few phones I've had gave that option I prefer back button on the right was the first thing I checked in settings even developer options as I've found it in there before , ?

Lg phones and oneplus has got this feature... It's frustrating this because i prefer the back button on right side
The back button is an arrow (or triangle) pointing left. Your VCR rewind button was on the left. Your mp3 player's restart/previous track was on the left. Your web browser back button is on the left. Why should your smartphone be any different?

Thank goodness I've never been into Samsung. Only Samsung I used was the Galaxy Nexus, which wouldn't let me install Samsung Apps!

Heh heh. It's so nice being back on a proper button layout with the MZP!
This is the main reason I root my Moto's, gravity box, swap back and recents, along with delete clock and change battery icon.
As for the layout, since GB 2.3.4 with my Sony Ericsson Arc, my back button was on the Right, my Samsung S3 & Note 3/Note 10.1 was the same, & Moto Nexus 6/X Pure/Z Play All had to follow.
For any OG Android user, the back button was on the Right, and will always be on the Right. And I use it more than the recents so it makes one hand usage more natural. Just my ¢.02

Lol, would be nice to have the option for those who like it. I like back on the left for one handed use, as it's easier for me to reach than tucking my thumb up hard right.
Just goes to show, different strokes for different folks!
