STOCK Gallery photo editing - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

I noticed that when coming from the S8 plus to the Note 8 the stadt gallery no longer allows precise adjustments in the gallery app. For example..
You can no longer finely-tuned a filter like in the gallery app on the S8 Plus. It's pretty much their filter the way they like it. Even in the vignette, you can't adjust it whatsoever.
Anyone notice this?

The phone's not even been officially released yet bro... give them a chance to update the apps :silly:

Not really an excuse when almost the entire world has had it since September 5th

I'm also noticing that the stock gallery no longer has the option for advanced photo editing options. I loved being able to adjust curves, tone, and other precise adjustments right in the stock app. Why would they take this away on the power user device? Anybody know of any impending updates?

If you go to the overflow button there's an option to open the image in 'Photo Editor Pro', the adjustments you mention are in the 'Advanced' section.

I've found my people!!

Found that the other day, but how do you make that the DEFAULT? This "update" is NOT an improvement. And I think I just confused the heck out of two Samsung agents this morning trying to explain what I wanted to do. If anyone has any good ideas, I'm all ears.
I've also posted in the Samsung Community forum, but you'll have to hunt for it, since I'm new to xdadevelopers and can't share the link here.

AH! Thanks! Seems odd that they'd bury it like this and I agree with the previous poster that I'd prefer this option by default as on the S8+.

Looks like your precise adjustments are also available in "Photo Editor Pro" mode.

I'm interested in this as well. I have TuneIn Radio installed, and always get the option to open that or Clock, but that's it. If nothing else, I'd like to open a slideshow or news reader.

FYI, I did find a thread on another board that suggested Desk Clock Plus... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.DevBob.DeskClockPlus. I can't try it out now, but it's supposed to show up as an option when you start charging on the TS
Edit: also found this thread... http://rootzwiki.com/topic/16031-any-good-android-docking-apps-with-touchstone-charger/
I've been waiting for an Android app that does the picture slide show like WebOS pretty much since CM9 came out for the Touchpad.
Maybe one day!

Thanks for the suggestion.
Seems to need a load of permissions considering it's application (a clock) - I'm always wary of an app that wants loads of permissions and especially control of things like system settings without proper explanation, etc.

Yeah, I hear ya. It has a ton of different settings, I think including stuff like changing the lock screen and display/screen timeout, which I assume that is for. I wish there were more fine-grained permissions sometimes, or a way to disable certain ones and still have the app work, just not the particular feature that the permission relies on. I believe in CM that's possible at least to some extent.

[Q] Date Stamp on Pics Taken

Hey Guys,
I was wondering if there was an option in the Settings to have the date shown on pics taken. I have checked all the setting and cant seem to find it.
Thanks!!!!

What about some alternative camera aplication ?
I don't use such personally, but I am pretty sure, there are plenty of apps like this. For example: Vignette

[Q] Couple of Questions

I've used the S5 and figured out how to disable the magazine app, well, the S6 has a similar feature that uses Flipboard. I haven't been able to figure out how to disable.
Also, I have NO IDEA how to create a folder in the App Drawer.

Dunno about about the folders but you can hide (but maybe not disable) the Flipboard screen by unchecking its box in the "rearrange home screens" mode.

Yeah, I did that, and you can do that, but, there's no wrap-around feature; Basically you will have no screens if you swipe left once you hide it.

I've owned every Galaxy except a 5. I've always rooted and always had that functionality. Thanks for the sarcasm, and wasting internet space though

While the wrap around effect is long gone in TouchWiz, it is still implemented on most third party launchers. And call me crazy, but someone with so much experience should know how to simply add new pages and reassign the home page.

I wasn't asking how to rearrange home screens. The feature is alive and well in the 4. Don't see any benefit to removing it, but you're not really here for help or a discussion. Just to be argumentative and condescending.
Just pointing out something...the iPhone home screen doesn't wrap either, so it would do no good for them to get one for that feature. ...

I don't want an iPhone, I want my homescreen and app drawer to wrap. Simple request. It used to behave this way

Display Content Scaling option gone?

All,
Just received my new T-Mobile Note 7. Spent the past few hours configuring it. Noticed that the display content scaling is gone. I remembered I set it to small during the initial set up. But,now I want to set it to large and see if I noticed any performance difference as I did with the old note 7.
It was in Settings, display, content scaling.
With the new update,I don't see it there anymore. I posted in another forum and saw that some users from another carrier namely at&t still has it, but in T-mobile it has been removed.
Why is that?
Any ideas?

Do you mean screen resolution? That's the only one I've found.

Nope, "Content Scaling".

You can get it back. There's an app in the app store called Display Scaling by Evozi that gives you the NOW hidden menu back (in the app), there's other ways to do it by making a shortcut to the hidden feature.
App is easier than trying to explain using another launcher, finding hidden feature and adding correct item for it.....
They hid this and UNHID the resolution feature since folks would use it more. This was expected to happen if you monitored the non Tmob note 7 forums. International notes got this update before the recall.
Oh, and you should probably reboot after changing it.

Oh wow! Thanks for the detailed info. I actually did this from another forum via Nova Prime via the shortcut you mentioned.

Yeah, here's the instructions for that method.

---------- Post added at 07:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:32 PM ----------
Another gotcha. If you change the scale size, THEN for some reason change your font larger, it will default back to LARGE content scaling....
I have an AT&T Note 7. I don't see those options. What are you guys setting the scaling to?
Being I can see 50 from where I stand, I'm keeping mine on large so I don't strain as much to see that tiny font.
Others prefer the small, those with younger eyes! lol
Before this update, there was talk that the small was "faster" than the large, but nobody provided proof.
I ran 3 runs of antutu before
and 3 runs after.
Both were exactly the same speed, +/- 1000.
So there's no speed reason to choose one or the other, only what you and your eyes are happy with.
I actually want the new option but need to wait until someone migrates the new ota with root. The new option supposedly gives better battery life when you turn down the resolution.
This was something I noticed was missing right when I setup the replacement. Personally I prefer the small option. Thanks for linking the app to change the screen

[Note 9 OneUI 1.0] The live video focus function disappear

Hi Mate,
I use an old Note 9 (N960US) with Android version 8.1.0 and it can take live focus video, which is the most function that my wife love.
So I buy her a new one (N960NK) with Android version 9.0 and OneUI 1.0.
Everything should be ok until she found out that function has gone away.
(image 2)
Why Samsung remove that function from camera app and how could I get it back?
Google that function will be live focus video beside photo / video / live focus function
(image 3)
Very appreciate any advice!!!
P/s: for more information there is no more button or mode that can choose to set up
On One UI 2.0 I have that option. It is found when I go to "more" under the options near the bottom of the screen.
