I have grown to like the Photowall live wallpaper that came on the Samsung Galaxy S III and now a family member just won a Motorola Xoom in a raffle and would like the same LWP. My problem is that even though it mostly works fine (loads and shows the stock pictures) the custom photo selector in the settings is hard coded to use Samsungs gallery app.
I can also modify the apk to replace the stock jpgs with my own and it works but that is limited to replacing the original 8 and not adding anymore.
Would anyone be able to modify the app to use the stock Android gallery. This would be my first choice.
Or a second option being to let it use more then 8 stock photos. Somewhere in the range of 20-50
I have attached the apk to work with it is the stock file taken from the S3 firmware then signed with test keys just to get it to install and work on my S2.
Does anyone know if there is a feature buried somewhere in the default photo editor to join two images together into one side-by-side image? I know there is software out there on the store that can do it, but I like to keep my phone clean of software that I dont need.
Thanks!
Hello,
I recently flashed an AOSP rom on my LG G3 and the first time I went to edit a photo from Google Photos it asked which editor I wanted to use and I could select Snapseed for all future edits. Awesome considering the editor isn't even as good as the previous model.
But do to Camera limitations in non-stock ROMs, I am back to an LG based ROM. Now the Google Photos does not give the option to choose which editor to use. Is there something I can do to force this?
Thanks
Hello Folks,
This is my first post. I'm a vivid reader of your forum and generally really like in-depth advice is given around here.
Hopefully, there's also a solution for what I'm going to describe now.
I know that there are quite a few users that would like to use Smart Select more efficiently, so I hope that my idea can break the ice.
My Device: Android 10 based Note 9 device, non-root.
I want to be able to use Samsung Smart Select to crop an image and save it to clipboard.
I already tried to share it with the clipboard with third-party apps but it seems Samsung Smart Select doesn't utilize the clipboard.
Apparently, the only working option is to save the picture to the gallery.
In many cases just saving to the clipboard is not supported by Smart Select. Say I want to add a file to a folder in One Note.
Smart Select only allows me to add what's cropped to a new note and not to an already existing one.
Now that I couldn't find another way to do it, I thought to myself, is it possible to use tasker to automate the following steps?
1. Crop with Smart Select and normally safe/share to a specific predefined folder.
2. Let Tasker add the newest file in that folder to the clipboard.
3. I can just paste whatever is in the clipboard in any given app.
If that works, can someone tell me how to do that, please?
Best,
Mario
I have tried several times to set up the free 60-day trial for Lightroom Premium from my S23Ultra (the only way, it seems, to be able to use Expert RAW) and it will not go through ('Galaxy Store cannot complete purchase' message). The free trial is the only option, as going straight to the £3.79/month option is not clickable. All the credit card details are confirmed as correct, etc. Is the trial no longer working/supported? If not, how else can I use Expert RAW, please, as it doesn't have an export function to the phone's gallery, etc., and LR is the only option presented to use it?
you can use Google Snapseed (it is free) for editing photos on the phone, or just edit them on PC using something like RawTherapee or Darktable (both are free), no need to pay for Adobe products. however you do not need to subscibe to lightroom premium to use it, basic light and color adjustment controls are available for free. and if you are happy with the default heavy pocessing expert raw applies automatically, you do not need to edit photos at all (but that kinda defies the general purpose of shooting raw...)
Unfortunately the RAW files from the phone are DNG format and my computer (Mac Book Pro) doesn't recognise that format. Therefore I have to edit them on the phone somehow and convert them to PNG or JPG before copying them to the MBP. I tried Snapseed earlier and it does work but it's somewhat limited. Better than nothing though. Thanks.
you can use both darktable (https://www.darktable.org/install/) or rawtherapee (https://rawtherapee.com/downloads/) to edit them on mac, both programs are multi-platrofm and support macOS
but as I said, on the phone you can use Snapseed (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.niksoftware.snapseed) or do basic editing on lightroom even without premium features and export image as jpeg
I may be misunderstanding, but when you say "(the only way, it seems, to be able to use Expert RAW)", I'd just like to point out that I've been able to use Expert RAW without paying for the Lightroom app. I did install it (to play around), so I'm not sure if it needs to be installed for Expert RAW to work, but paying for it is not a "requirement" to use Expert RAW.
But of course, I did read that you want to modify the images, so if the free is not good enough, it seems @Daekin gave some good examples/options . I just wanted to point out for anyone else that to use Expert RAW the paid version of Lightroom is not required.

I meant that, as far as I could see, the only link to an editing option on the Expert RAW screen is the Lr one. It may be that others can be used but they weren't being presented to me on the Expert RAW screen - at the foot of the screen there are just three option icons - Lr, share and bin. I couldn't even get the free 60-day trial to purchase, even though my credit card details had been verified and accepted, the purchase (actually a free trial) would not go through, with several attempts. Very odd.

Gotcha.
Yeah all I see are those three icons as well. But that is odd that it wouldn't go through to start the trial...I wonder if it is just a temporary bug.
I just saw an article about this.
An issue with a top Galaxy S23 Ultra camera feature has been fixed | Digital Trends
If you tried to subscribe to Adobe Lightroom Premium on your Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, but couldn't, Adobe has fixed the issue. Here's what was going on.
www.digitaltrends.com
well...in the case that Lightroom first run wizard when registering a new account has a bug, just go to adobe website and create a new account there. I have opened lightroom and since I logged in into existing account, the premium subscription was not offered for me as part of signin process, I can click on premium features and then I am greeted with the trial subscription. so to bypass registration, sign in using existing adobe account and do not create one from whithin lightroom app
about that icon..well, it is result of samsung - adobe partnership, which promotes lightroom as default editing app. however you can use any other app without problems, just it will be 2 clicks instead of one to open a taken photo there
