Verizon Ellipsis 8 APK Pak 5.1.1 & RetroArch Fix (Updated for 2022) - Android Gaming

The Verizon Ellipsis 8 was pushed into Android 5.1.1 with only 1GB of ram. And though there are rumors that this device can be rooted, the default OS allows all but 2 apks to be disabled from the home menu so I chose not to explore rooting. Once the apks including google play and google play services were disabled, I was able to painfully, due to graphic issues, play a game of Cannon Spike on RetroArk at near full speed. The device is compatible with all versions of RetroAarch as of now (which is at 1.10.0_GIT). The problem is, RetroArch has a slight bug when it comes to a very low number of devices. Devices such as the Verizon Ellipsis 8 have a navigation bar at the bottom and the status bar at the top that automatically hides in Android 5.1.1. This seemingly un-adjustable autohide feature prevents apks such as the RetroArch menu screens from reregistering touches correctly.
There is a work around (it requires 2 hands) to navigate the menus in RetroArch on a Verizon Ellipsis 8 (after the game is launched, the apk works as normal).
1. Launch RetroArch
2. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to activate the temporary navigation bar (remember it autohides).
3. As the navigation bar is deployed at the bottom, touch and hold the bottom right or bottom left of the screen (don't worry if the bar eventually disappears).
4. Continue to touch and hold the corner of the screen the entire time (I use my thumb as I hold the device itself).
5. Now you can navigate the RetroArch menu with your other hand.
Below are the apks that are running on a stock build of Android 5.1.1 with 1GB of ram that can at least boot Dreamcast games. Using a practically bare system, I was able to play, Crazy Taxi, Soul Calibur, Expendable, Power Stone, Shenmue, Sonic Adventure 2, and Tony Hawk Pro Skater all with near flawless graphics and speed (turn sound down). Hope this helps!​

[App Library] Most Unique Note Enhancing Apps

So I have been looking for new and cool apps that really compliment the Note II and I think that it's worth having a thread to have a list of the top apps to help with productivity, maximize use of the larger screen and overall get the most out of the Note II.
One that I've recently found and that is perfect for the Note II is 'Relaunch'. Screen shot below:

This app is super cool and allows for quick app changing in a new intuitive way. With the S Pen and big screen it's super useful.
Another good app is Floating Browser! Allows you to do something similar to Samsung's Pop up Browser, with full flash and content (more robust)

2. Download: GL to SD (Gameloft games to SD)
3. Download: GMD S Pen Control (Custom S Pen Gestures)
Let's get a good running list.
Just saving second post in case the list gets long.
There is also a floating terminal app. It costs a few dollars, but if you're a terminal junkie, that's probably worth it.
I think there's also a floating calculator.
What else do we want to see in floating windows? There's demo code available for that-- so hopefully we'll see more applications like that.
I recently discovered that the Pulse widgets, with the right homescreen app-- (with resizeable grid and the option to overlay widgets)
Make for a slick looking homescreen page devoted to news.
And of course, with an S-Pen, drawing apps like MagicMarker and Sketcher are invaluable.
Some people may find this split/floating keyboard useful :
There's also the WOW split browser, but since we have MultiWindow, its obsolete.
I thought I might have a few more suggestions, but that's really all I have for now.
GpcSOFT kicks so much ass.
Super Manager and Super Video are both really great apps.
And you can do much much more with Super Video.
If you use a wallet case or a flip cover, I found Intellicover - it allows you to turn off and on the screen just by opening and closing your screen. It can even disable the lockscreen on opening the screen.
Taskarou is another one that I've been using frequently.
I like LilyPad HD (Pop Up Floating Chat) on my Note.
It's a floating messenger client, which lets you chat with your Facebook, Google Talk or Windows Live Messenger contacts from anywhere in your phone.
been using swipepad on my previous phones, but i like the looks of relaunch. ill be trying that
Wave Launcher is my pick for launching apps, plus you can put widgets and have access to them no matter what you have on screen
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobilemerit.wavelauncher
Overscreen is my favorite floating browser, although I had to sideload it since the market doesn't want to play nice
Sketch-a-bit has been on every device I've owned that runs android, if you like drawing then just go download it, it's like it was made for the Note, even though it's from 2010
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.superfiretruck.sketchabit
I posted a couple really nice apps in another thread you should check out. One invokes the pop up browser, another let's you set up commands for the spen, and light manager to adjust stock led notifications. Links are in that thread.

PrecieUX: Opulence is a one-click-applicable home screen decoration pack for BuzzLauncher users. Even if you have never used BuzzLauncher before, you can easily apply this beautiful home screen on your own device (whichever phone it may be) with a few clicks. If you do find it appealing, how-to-apply procedures are prepared for you at the bottom of this post.
Before moving on, please watch the teaser video I've prepared for you. I took time and care producing this video, so please watch in HD!
As the video read, certain privileges are available to only a number of special people. . . people like you. Opulence will bring the luxurious life-style that you deserve to your phone.
Ground up photoshopped matching pixel-to-pixel accuracy, tile-icons boast elegant details in even the phones with the highest resolution available in market today: Full HD (1920 x 1080). Designed and developed using Samsung's flagship Galaxy S4, Opulence is compatible with devices with other resolutions such as but not limited to HD (1280 x 720) or WVGA (800 x 480). Do not worry whether Opulence is going to look the same on your phone, because BuzzLauncher will automatically adjust layout and size of icons for your phone, whichever screen-size or resolution it may have.
Opulence is composed of 3 tabs: Main, Media and RSS. When you're in each of the three tabs, bottom of the tab you're in will glow to indicate the tab you're in. To switch to a certain tab, simply touch the tab you wish to switch to. Switching tab-to-tab is simply gorgeous: it feels like turning on a light-bulb by pressing on it.
The first tab of Opulence is "Main". Graceful widgets intuitively deliver to you information regarding date, time, your schedule, location and the weather. It has never been easier to see the important information so conveniently and so tastefully. Bottom third of the screen has short-cuts to the most necessary functions of your smartphone: downloading new applications, contacting your friends through social network services (folder containing short-cuts to different apps) and using your telephony services. The bottom dock is constant in all 3 tabs. Left tells you the percentage of battery you have left, and right tells you the time. Pressing the "Apps" icon will summon your phone's app-drawer that has all of your applications.
The second tab is your playground. It is worth a lot to live up to tight schedules, but sometimes you should enjoy good music or watch sensational movies. A big album-art of the album you're listening to decorates your second tab, so this tab will be automatically personalised to you individually according to the music you prefer. Without having to leave your home-screen, you can control your music player using the stylish control-icons already prepared for you. The Internet icon connects you to Google Chrome (but the short-cut can be directed to another application if you prefer another browser), and the Multimedia icon is a folder that contains apps most frequently used when listening to music or viewing your pictures and videos.
The third tab, as its name implies, has a gigantic RSS reader widget. Just pull out your phone from your pocket and unlock; the information you want to read will be updated and ready for you. (Press the bottom right corner of the RSS widget to add/remove RSS feeds). If the website you like does not support RSS, you can also choose to make bookmarks to your favorite websites and store them in the Bookmarks folder on the same screen.

* for convenience, you can choose to access http://www.bluepremium.co.kr/entry/PrecieUX-Opulence-Global. Then you can simply press on the following links.

Question Android 12L update in US?

Anyone received the update on their devices yet?
It's rolling out and will probably be a few more weeks until it's out for everyone. International is getting it now and there are some in the US that have been getting it, but still not wide distribution. Just hang tight and it will come out.
Just installed on t-mobile
Yup, T-Mobile LOCKED and I got the update today (USA)
What version of Android is it listed as?
Mine is also T-mobile network. Unlocked purchased from Samsung. See attached.

As you can see, this doesn't claim to be 12L. And I don't see the 12L Taskbar.
September 2022 update for Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 expands to T-Mobile unit in the US
T-Mobile is expanding the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 September 2022 Android security patch update in the US. This update slightly improves the device’s performance in order to maintain the users’ sexperience. Going by the new information, this update bears the One UI build version F926U1UEU2DVI2...
www.sammyfans.com
In Settings, "Taskbar" is greyed out (although the toggle seems to be set on).
Android 12L ist not shown in System Settings. You have to check the Android API Level with an app, that allows this. Android 12 has API level 31, 12L 32.

Thanks for that clarification. The API level for this build is 32. And now I am starting to see the Taskbar. Not sure why it didn't appear immediately after I installed the update.
Now I understand why the Taskbar is only appearing intermittently. I have been using Nova Launcher. Evidently the Taskbar is unreliable unless one uses the One UI Launcher. Hopefully this will be fixed soon. (Probably an update to Nova Launcher will be needed.)
What's the difference between the task bar and the edge panel as far as what they do? I use edge panel all the time to drag apps into pop-up or occasionally split-screen view, and that's what I've read the same thing the task bar does. I really miss the downloadable edge panels from my previous Samsung, though!

As far as I can tell, the Taskbar works similarly to Windows and the Mac dock: icons appear in the Android Taskbar when you are running (or recently ran) an app. You tap on any icon in the Taskbar to switch to it. This seems like an alternative to the recent apps virtual button in Android's navigation. The main advantage is that the icons are continuously visible.

Thanks! I haven't installed the update yet, but it has been asking me to. When I get the moment to, I will. From the update list, seems like there are some nice improvements!
Yep, on my unlocked Z Fold3 and Verizon Z Fold2. Who needs a Z Fold4 now when it's the same OS lol
I updated yesterday. I tried to get used to the task bar, but I couldn't stand it after a few minutes. Just way too distracting with so many icons of different colors across the bottom. If they'd turned them all grayscale, maybe it wouldn't be as bad, but nope. Also really bad for screen burn-in, which I don't want to risk on this phone anymore than I already do with having to use an on-screen keyboard (it got a little burned in on my last phone). (I recently looked at my dad's phone and he plays Scrabble so much on it that the game board is burned into his Note phone [I don't know what number it is]. )
just tap and hold the task bar (e.g. on the bottom right) and it disappears.
Tap and hold again, and it will be back ...
Might be easier to turn it off in settings.
If you want to get rid of it permanently, yes ...
