Hi,
I learnt the Groupcast feature today by chance and loved it. Me and my wife have S III, it's very useful for us. However, we also have other Samsung mobile devices (Galaxy S, Galaxy W and Galaxy Note) around and it would be great to use this feature all over these devices. Is there any chance to add the Allshare Play app to these older devices ? (At least the Note)
Has anyone tried it ?
Thx.
no ideas ?
Guys,
I really would like to ask this again since it's a nice feature and we'd like to see it on other devices as well. Am I wrong ?
I believe the note can use the allshare app... Don't know for sure,haven't tried...

there are several apk files about allshare on S3 /system/app folder. Which are the correct ones ?

I went to a Samsung event this week and saw this too. Pretty cool. Not sure what all you need to make this work, but I know it has NOT been working on my HTC EVO 4G LTE even with the ported TouchWiz 4/NatureUI launcher. Of course it probably would help if I was running a Deodexed ROM. I will try this again after I flash one of those and see if the ported SecLauncher2.apk provides enough of a framework to get any of these S-*/AllShare features to work.
From what I can tell you need at least/some or all of the following:
AllshareDMC.apk
AllshareMediaServer.apk
AllSharePlay.apk
AllshareService.apk
PhaseBeam.apk
SecMediaProvider.apk [?]
Try backing up the originals of those files on your ICS Note and then porting them.
I don't think these features work on GB as they are dependent on WiFi direct and I'm guessing Sammy's implementation for that is probably different on pre-GSIII devices.
Hope that helps!
I came across this app called Tapestry, that essentially does the same thing as Group Cast, but much much easier to use. My friends have the GSIII, and to setup a Group Cast, password and all, takes 15 clicks. With Tapestry, it only takes 3! Moreoever, it works on any Android device, not just GSIII's, so you can enjoy the experience with all your Android friends. It only supports pictures for now, but that's pretty much what I use it for anyways. Lastly, the coolest feature that Tapestry has that Group Share doesn't have it that in Tapestry, you have synchronized pinch/zoom/panning, and also direct Peer-to-peer download by swiping down on the viewer screen you immediately download the picture onto your phone! What a cool way to share photos! You can check it out here.

I guess I should have read app's information before purchasing tab 10.1 Its a great tab, but an app that works with gingerbread on my galaxy s 2 will not work with Honeycomb. Anyone know why and if I should just wait for ice cream sandwich or just sell this tab and buy the other tab from the fruit manufacturer?
I wouldn't mind if the app just ran on a smaller scale (its for surveillance video) like an app does on the ipad when the app is not optimized for ipad.
thanks for your advice.
normally apps work fine for me if theyr ment for phone they are just small
try either updating to 3.2 or trying tasks galaxytask rom wich is 3.2
if you mean that you cannot download it from the market look around for it a bit and try and download it off a different app store on the web
thanks. I tried to look on the market from the tab and it doesn't even show up.
I then tried to download it from Dolphin Browser and it says it downloaded and installed but cannot see it in the "apps". I'm a newb to the 10.1 so I am not sure how to add galaxy task you speak of
thanks

If it works on your Galaxy S2 but not on your Tablet, I can guarantee that app won't work on an iPad. iPad's won't run any Android apps.
Sarcasm aside, it's not the tablets fault it can't run that app, the developer of whatever app hasn't done whatever needs to be done to it to get it to work.
I suppose you could buy an iPad, or you could email the app developer, or even find another app that does what you want. Since you didn't specify what app you're talking about we probably can't offer any suggestions.
Galaxy task is a custom ROM. Go to the android dev subforum for that.
There's several surveillance video apps that work great on the GT10. Do you need a specific one? If not, search the market and try another one....
What app are you actually talking about? Even if it won't work on tablet it would show up after install. Are you sure it didn't say application not installed? As it still shows a green tick as if it did which is a bit strange I think. If that was the case it probably isn't signed and needs pushing to system. I have not found any app that doesn't work on the tab, just shows up small like the above guy said.
thanks guys. i guess there arent enough honeycomb tabs to justify creating an app that supports the app i want to run (revo remote) at this time.
now i have to figure out how to add adhoc wifi tethering to this tab.
have a good one guys.

You need a custom ROM for that. It's baked into Galaxy task.

first actual review of the AT&T model I have seen!
Good find.
Wait though, the AT&T version doesn't have S-Planner? Anyone heard this yet? Do you think it will be available in the market after we buy? That was really one of the cooler/features apps for the Note.
From the review:
The European version of the Note is home to S-Planner and S-Choice, which are two other S-Pen apps.

What are the stand out features of these apps? I see that u can add notes to the calander from S-note, what does S-choice do(edit:apps made for the pen, the article says
Samsung has programmed a pair of memo apps to work with the S-Pen, and is also encouraging other developers to create their own compatible apps as well. There will be about 20 of these apps at launch.
Read more: http://reviews.cnet.com/smartphones/samsung-galaxy-note-carbon/4505-6452_7-35117983.html#ixzz1mN4MfJWp"?
Im sure someone will port them eitherway.
S Choice is basically the app store for S-pen-enabled apps which there aren't many right now so it's not huge deal, although the S Planner was a far more functional/usable calendar than the native TouchWiz calendar just by layout alone.
Hopefully we'll see a port or it will be an optional download. Still can't really see why they would remove it though, especially after all the marketing they did behind it.

I saw a video of the ATT model and the calendar app looks to be the S planner app. At least it looked identical in the video.
I am not entirely sure if this is an original request in here, or if it even belongs in here, so please dont kill me if I am wrong, just advise me whar to do next...
But, I am currently running DaGr8's ICS Aplha 2 rom, and noticed that the allshare app is missing, as well as a few others... Now I am also not entirely sure that these apps will work in this scenario, but if they will, or if they can be made to work, that would be awesome... i have also noticed that the photo editor appears to be missing, both of these apps are ones that I use pretty heavily, and would feel a bit more comeplete if I had them, but if they wont work on ICS, then they won't and I will just have to wait til the official OTA hits.
***Edit: if someone IS able to fullfill this request, would you be able to make a zip flashable in CWM for all apps, and then I can just peacemeal them myself through TiBu?

I'll second that request! if only for the photo editor that came stock with the i717.
I put a request in the NOOB forum and haven't heard anything yet...
I'm on stock deodexed 4.1.2.
I do have the Samsung apps on my phone, I don't know how to extract them for you, but the Photo Editor in particular is a crippled version without the features of the one that came with the phone on Android 2.3.6

Here is the Samsung PhotoEditor that works with I717 4.1.2. Just install like a normal app.

After doing a bit of searching I think we're looking for a file called "com.sec.android.mimage.photoretouching-1.apk" with a size of 10-12MB but I haven't confirmed this yet or tested it, downloading a version I found right now...
https://www.dropbox.com/s/auvwb5sjr3ee82b/com.sec.android.mimage.photoretouching-1.apk
The one I posted is 12mb, integrates with photo gallery and has Spen edit support. I think the photo retouching apk is what it was called on GB & ICS.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Thanks for the quick help, unfortunately both of the links are for similar versions of the same apk, and are not the one I was looking for.
I don't even know for sure if the editing I was doing was on the stock image editor, but the app allowed the use of a magic wand to select areas of a photo, transform the area to resize an object and fill any voids left by shrinking, etc...
I can't find anything on the market or Samsung market so I thought maybe it was left off of Samsungs updated image editor?

Hi,
i want to swap to a AOSP based rom but i want to be able to take some samsung apks with me... is this at all possible?
the ones i want are:
Dialer (Phone)
Alarm clock
Samsung memo
Gallery
Calculator
Web Browser
fm radio
txt message apk
Most (or all) of these apps require touchwiz framework, so the answer is yes and no.
Yes, if you take also the Samsung's Touchwiz launcher and some libraries (jut enough for these apps to work), but then, that defeats the purpose of going to AOSP.
No, not if you don't want Samsung touchwiz at all.
im sure ive seen people using samsungs camera on AOSP and also "s memo"... :S have they had coding changed to be ported or something?
if so does anyone have any idea if any of the apks ive mentioned have also been ported??
thanks guys really apreciate the help
this forum used to be a lot more helpful :/...
anyway, ive managed to find SOMETHING
there are some ported apks linked below - in case anyone else has the same question as me and maybe sees this thread!
