It still wasn't working. I needed to wipe data, uninstall both, install lite, then click on unlock in app and to download unlock to get it too work.
Ok now.
Thanks for quick response.

How much does this affect the battery?
I have been looking for something like this, but I am scared of purchasing a good app, just to have it kill my battery because the camera is always on.
Thanks

I'm curious as well.

Ya, it seems like it would do a number on a battery to keep the camera open, but also keep the CPU high doing processing.
Anyone using this program that could do like a couple 15 minute tests with the screen off and this program either running or not?

I've been using the old "smart stay" app for a handful of days, and I've seen no change in battery life.
From what I understand the App only uses the camera to snap a quick picture for face recognition half way through the screen time out time; if it sees one it restart s there timer. it also has a root option to only activate when the touch screen hasn't been used, which further reduced the frequency of camera use.

Downloading now

heh funny thing but doesn't work for me maybe because i'm ugly

Works well on Galaxy S II, but kill music player when lock. could you please fix it?

Very creative app!

4.4.2 Vs 4.2.2 is it worth the switch?

I've seen posts of several loving 4.4 and others going back to 4.2. Is it worth it? Battery life? Are there known bugs and issues?

Imo, its still very much subjective. As much as I've frequented here throughout the years,I would probably still be considered a noob. With that being said, here are my thoughts
Initially I was regretting the update. My battery life being terrible was my biggest gripe. I decided to root it only three days of having the stock 4.4 rom. Once I did that, my battery life levels returned to 4.2 levels. I'm getting about 15 hours off a single charge which is huge for me. Not sure if rooting actually made the difference but that's the only thing I changed after I initially made the switch.
Plus I love the new camera app which isn't offered for 4.2. I just wish Google incorporated a long press to kill apps feature. Seems like the only way you can get that is through a custom rom
Also, my screen rotation seems to be broken. It works on certain apps and not on others. It will work if I click on a video within flipboard, but not in my picture gallery. I can deal with it for a while but not too much longer

You may want to look into xposed framework and either wanam or gravitybox. It will give you your long press back to kill along with a while host of other features. I could never live on a stock ROM without one of those.

Honestly, no. That's really weird that it's hit or miss like that. There's a reason they pulled that update, though. I'm wondering if there's not different hardware revisions or something and 4.4.2 just works better with some than others. Only suggestion I could make is make a nandroid, do a factory reset, and see if that fixes it. If not, just restore your backup.
Did you make any other modifications or delete any system apps after rooting?

I actually saw something that suggested it was related to the removal of the Samsung hub app. I could probably do a reflash but I'm Judy now getting all my settings finalized. Idk man

No idea how or why that might make a difference, but I made a backup of mine with Titanium Backup and I've attached an archive with the files in it. You can use that to reinstall it. I just froze all the stupid system apps on my phone. I figured it was safer that way. Anyway, let me know if that works. Hope it does.

can anyone upload the camera app+need apps for camera from 4.4.2 ?

Damn, thanks dude
My only "issue" is that I was trying to free up some internal memory. Freezing apps doesnt get rid of them right? It just suspends them from showing up in your app tray correct?

Why not just d/l the new google camera app from the play store? Its better (at least it is to me) than the stock camera.

System apps live on a different partition from your regular apps and so do their .dex files (for odexed roms, which stock usually is). So no, unless you need to push some apps (supersu? ) to the /system/ partition, there is no need to free up space. Just uninstall updates and freeze.

Is any one worried about development?

Hey, everyone,
This is my first device in a while that isn't a Nexus (the rumors point to the next Nexus being 5.9" - Nope. Nope, so hard).
Well, anyway, I love this device, but I'm worried about development. Granted, I'm used to seeing development efforts pop-up for the device on the day of launch (yay, Nexus)... But it has been a little bit.
What say, you? Do you all think we'll have a good development community? Still within that return period... Talk me off the ledge, guys.

I'm waiting for the new Moto X to come to my door step. I have the first edition Moto X what's an unlocked bootloader. At first I was all kinds of excited to flash different roms. Time after time I continue to go back to stock running xposed modules. Stock-based features of the Moto X are just too darn useful. I plan on only running a few exposed modules on my pure edition

No, because I'm not rooting the phone. I bought this phone primarily because it offer almost all I need without rooting.

Just like most people that used the moto x, I mostly relied on xposed settings just to tweak around a few settings. Motorola's software is basically stock android with a few very useful features added. I used to flash roms ALL the time when I had my GS4, but I no longer have to do that with the moto x.

Interesting. Yeah, I think its features are really useful, as well. I just figured that since almost all of the features have been moved to an app, it wouldn't be too difficult to actually get them on a custom rom. But, yeah, all the features I want are really minor and probably could be added using xposed. Good point, I'll look into some of them.

The Nexus was almost perfect for me. I just found a ROM that was a little more suitable, set it up, and was able to stick to it for my duration with the phone. I would occasionally update to a later version... but I never really needed to. I just picked a good ROM, and stuck with it. I was hoping to do the same here.

Like I mentioned earlier - excellent point. On my GS3 and M7, I always flashed ROMs. I calmed down a bit with the Nexus, though. Hahaha
Looks like I'll be looking into Xposed. That doesn't mean I won't make some of my own modifications, though....
Thanks for the responses, guys!

The only thing I miss, is custom toggles. I didn't know stock android don't actually have toggles at all, they are more like shortcuts to the settings menu. It's more than annoying. And needing an app for flashlight sucks. If I could get that, would be all the mods I need.

Xposed settings allow for this. Download the GravityBox module within the settings. This allows you to customize almost every aspect of the phone, including all toggles. I set up my phone to have the torch flashlight as a toggle, EXTREMELY handy when you need it really quick.

Don't need development.
For those unrooted, see my no root survival page.
Notification Toggles is very good.

This is the first phone I've owned that I don't miss root at all. It has everything I need stock. Of course I would love to have root for gravity box alone but I don't miss it as much as I thought I would.

Well i am talking about 100 to 1%
Nothing much...
Just use single sim
Clear off ram frequently
Use earphones for media coz speaker sucks alot of power
Optimize all apps under battry optimization
Turn of AI boost
Just make sure battery is not being used in other unwanted stuffs. And there you go.. you can easily get 7 to 8 hours straight atleast.

Use single sim only.. use a network that can provide 4 or 5 bar signal. Turn off AI BOOST.. optimize all battery settings. Turn of AI Charging.. instead of it use the time duration for which you actually sleep. Clear your ram through period. Instead of speaker use earphones. And make sure to cut off every irrelivent power supply. And there you go.. you can drag atleast 7 to 8 hours on normal usage. From 100 to 1.

Download and Change theme from factory app.
You will have to customize app icons and wallpaper. Coz i am sure you wont gona like it anyway.

Some bugs in PIE
I have noticed some bugs! Lockdown is not available even after turning it on, and the power button menu still looks the same! It looks so old and pathetic. Also no sliding gesture available in multitasking pil. Quick icons and setting icons are still same (which is still okay but anyway the update is here) ,and anyone got any pixel like theme? which will change the notification panel quick icons and all?

Asus site says WW update, but TW SKU only?
Which one is it really? Using WW 8.0 atm, thinking about updating, should I wait for next one this month?

As far as I can tell there's no settings on these phones to change the notification panel. The only way is using the built in Themes app for ZenUI. That's how I got dark theme for it and the Asus apps.

Better you wait. I have updated to Pie and didn't realize that it is TW version. I have an Indian 5Z. Now I am wondering what if I found some strange bug and have to go back to Indian release and if it'll be possible. Asus haven't helped at all and if I can't update to the Indian version my only option is to downgrade and then update again. Plus, this TW build has some bugs. So better wait for official version of your respective country.

Note 9 poor battery life on Android Pie! (Snapdragon)

So Guys I'm having a really poor battery life on my Note 9 on Android 9. I get aprox 5 hours screen ontime, I used to get 8-9 hrs on beta pie or oreo. I just use my phone for social media apps, YouTube and stuff. Is there any one else who's having this issue? Can anybody recommend something to me for improving the battery life?
...........
Its a serious concern guys, battery life was the main reason I bought this phone for and its a real shame that the battery is so damn poor on latest update!

Also, check these two in the screenshot out in developer options. Read on them and see what you can disable. They have a huge impact.

I wasn't able to update any of the Samsung apps through the galaxy app store. Specifically "good lock". It always threw an internet connection error for me. It just messes with the galaxy app store in general.

Hmmm odd both of mine are disabled and mine update just fine. Agian was just curious.
