[Q] Edge screen/actions/panels - Samsung Galaxy A50 Themes, Apps, and Mods

Want to start off by saying, yes I've searched, yes I've tried the apps that people have recommended here and else where. I am looking for the best possible solution to my dilemma. I had a s8. I used the edge action (etc), simply for the screen capture and instant cropping of a picture or, making something into a gif.
I've found, online, the various versions of the "app" that samsung put out but, none of which will install on my US version a50.
Is there a way that this can be side loaded or, is there someone that can bake it into a rom instead?
Side note, the apps available on the play store and the galaxy store, suck.

Have you tried One Hand Operation+, a Nicelock module?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-nicelock-goodlock-2019-launcher-pie-t3908648
I prefer this over S8's Edge Action. (European A50).

Screen capture and video gif?

All,
I'm coming from the LG V30 and Samsung S8 and Notes series. One thing I loved with those phones is the easy screen capture and surprisingly easy screen video catpure and transform into gif feature.
Do you know of any 3rd party software that has all those features? Prefer not to download multiple apps but if I do, it is what it is.
Thanks for any suggestions!

A quick search in the app store will give you plenty of options but to be honest, they are all kinda clunky to use and need to run in the notification tray 100% of the time.

No, the option we get in S series after taking a screenshot. Like to crop the picture, share or for taking a scroll screenshot

Yeah, missing this too. Find it strange that not all Samsung One UI devices behave the same.
Smart Capture site: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00062625/
Samsung statement about missing Smart Capture on A50: https://www.samsung.com/in/support/mobile-devices/galaxy-a50-frequently-asked-questions/
Well this is just annoying! seemed like a pretty nice feature. looks like we get the middle device and lose out on a feature available for a cheaper phone
Funny cos last year's A series and J series had this feature. Samsung need to pay more attention to mid rangers
I just came from a S8+ that went bust and used the scrolling screenshot a lot. Very annoyed - actually upset - to find out only after purchasing the A50 that it doesn't support Smart Capture. I had asked the sales person who said it was certainly a setting to be activated. Had I known, I'd gone for the A70 ?...
Any chance that this might be part of a future update? Has that happened to other Samsung phone models?
Of course, the Galaxy A50 supports "Smart Capture" and works smoothly, including editing, trimming and sharing. You may not be able to enable this feature. Maybe this helps you:

Settings - Advanced Features - Movements and gestures - etc.
However, it is possible that your region may have some settings elsewhere or some features may be missing, you need to try.

Galaxy A50 no longer supports Smart Capture it seems. Neither do I remember it supporting previously btw. You'll need to use 3rd party app from playstore !
What about Samsung screen recorder that's available in S series? I think Asian SKU has that?

this firmware is same OXM/ITV and not have smartcapture.apk inside system app, not possible if works
i decompile product.img csc feature is same ITV and XEZ
There is no smartcapture on latest august patch firmware
I've managed to install the smart capture apk by installing it as a system app. The smart capture option now appears in settings, however it crashes if you try and use it as in the apk they have coded in a way to stop us using it. The error for the crash of smart capture reads "Feature not supported".

Samsung Dex on Native Mobile Screen

I am not sure if someone asked this before. I tried searching over the Posts but unlucky.
I am wondering is it possible to switch between Samsung One UI and DEX on the Mobile native screen just like on Tab S6?
Is there any way without root?

Not yet, maybe never.
I want this too, but the feature with good lock are a close second. You just don't have the task bar
Ladies and gentlemen, I beg you, on samsung galaxy Tab 4 you can turn on descope mode dex, it runs on on Note 9, I would welcome it, thank you for any advice, there is a lot of how to turn the phone into descope, but I wonder just this, I'm definitely not the only one who thought and who would like it

Download booster missing on S20

Anyone find a way to get the download booster setting back on the S20?

On Ultra also so I guess it's not on S20 series. Why do you want to use it? Slow wifi?
It's typical of samsung to remove features that ppl don't really use to make up space for new features. Sort of like Google labs. It is probably discontinued and removed from the newer roms.
I personally miss the old samsung camera where u can push the white shutter button up or down to zoom in or out instead of pinching the screen. I really loved that feature so I don't need to use 2 hands to take a photo.

You can use volume buttons for zoom.

Yes, but then you can't use it as a shutter button.

Of course you do. Everybody knows that.
I was replying to the post saying that you can set volume buttons as a zoom control.
I don't know any way how to set it for both functions at the same time.

It's missing on the Note20 Ultra too. I asked about it on the Samsung community forums and someone suggested that it might've been removed because there is no need for it anymore with the already fast download speeds on 5G. Not sure if there's any truth to that or not.

I now have a Fold 2 and missing on there too. But after searching through some forums on samsung Community it seems that it is present in the US and is carrier dependant. Not available in UK. My previous Note 10 was also 5G but it was on there.

My Note20 Ultra is the U.S. unlocked version, so you would think that, without the influence of a carrier, that feature would've been included by default. Especially for those times when I'm not near enough to my wifi or 5G is not available. Seriously? What does Samsung care about whether or not I use WiFi and data to download things? Just think of how fast downloads would be with 5G and a strong WiFi connection too! Maybe they're afraid those speeds would blow up our devices like the Note7. [emoji1]

Edge lighting notification

I have been reluctant to upgrade from my s9+ because of the notification led that was done away with in the newer devices.
I have read that in one ui 3.0 and Android 11 on the S20 series advancements have been made using edge lighting for notifications.
Can anyone tell me if the there is a setting to have this edge lighting notification run continuously until the message causing the notification has been read? ie. mimicking how the notification led works in the S9+ and older devices that had the physical led?
Thanks.

Option is not there. Only 'longer' which lasts abouy 3 seconds. However, there are apps to do this as well.

Use this app,
Notification light for Samsung - Apps on Google Play
aodNotify - Notification light / LED for Samsung Galaxy S22, S21, A52, Note20...
play.google.com
U can set everything that u want, it might be needed to buy the developer coffee.
Thanks for the replies. I have seen some of the aftermarket apps. Many of them come with various issues. I was hoping that by now Samsung had come up with their own built in solution. Will wait and see if the S21 is any different.

And what are the issues with the app I recommended? It feels like you want to wait on Samsung, but that's waiting on horses to fly
For what it's worth, aodNotify works flawlessly for me. I think you'll be pleased with the results.
