Pixel/ Google Camera - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods

Hey all
I have a galaxy s8+ rooted with magisk. I am a fan of Google pixel camera and have this installed on my other phone, a oneplus 5. On both devices the camera works apart from slow motion which crashes the app.
I managed to get the pixel camera working on the oneplus by copying a modified media_profiles.xml designed for that phone. However I tried the same file for the Samsung and rebooted but then the phone gets stuck on the Samsung splash screen and I have to recover the rom.
I understand that I need to modify the XML above to get this working but not being particularly experienced in this stuff I'm stuck. Or is it that Samsung have modded android so much with their own particular brand of android that even the XML won't work?
Any help appreciated!!

i have a question about my galaxy s3

hi everyone i got the samsung galaxy s3 and i love it but i have a question
when i had the galaxy s2 i noticed that when you are on the home screen and move from screen to screen the image move with the screen but that dosent happen with the s3
so is that a feature only for the s2 or gingerbread devices or can i do the same on the s3 as well ?
and if i can how ?
thanks
your talking about scrolling wallpaper?
some launchers can activate that for you. or custom roms.
Can download it at play store. Search for scrolling wallpaper. This apps is ment for S3. No need root or custom rom.. Give it try.. I`m using it & it's just not scrolling on home screen but apps page also.

Looks nice indeed, But all works perfectly is not completely true. FM radio doesn't work. Chance to lose sound in calls so needed to extra flash an other modem file. TVOut: unsupported and will probably never be. Wakeing the device up using volume keys might not work because the device is sleeping to deep and doesn't recognize key presses

S3 Custom ROM and Netflix Issue

Hello Everyone,
I am getting an odd issue with the Netflix App running in either CM 12 or 13 (Various ROMs CM/Temasek/CynoPop/MoKee etc). The app would run as normal and even start the video, but then after a few minutes the video gets scrambled. The picture would go from good to scramble on and off. I've also tried older versions of Netflix App resulting with the same issue.
This only seems to happen in the S3, as my Samsung Mega 6.3 (CM 13) runs smoothly and my other Samsung A7 (Stock) does too. Other videos run without any issues (Youtube/MX Player Pro).
The issue resembles a PAL/NTSC clash you would normally have with VHS back in the day.
Any ideas? Should I go back to Stock? I love the google experience and I want the S3 to be used with my future Chrome-cast 2 so I can have the experience complete.
Thanks in advance.

Dude, do you even read the list of problems in CM13 thread? Any CM13-based ROM always has this problem because there is a problem with h/w decoding (I think).
u should've read the all cm13 thread it's a known prob....

As I mentioned, the problem also happens in CM12.
Any solutions?
What? I don't see any problem with any DRM'd content (i.e Netflix) in android 5.1? Try switching to ArchiDroid, it may be EOL already but it is still a golden gem. Very stable too of course
The solution is to change the Playback settings to Medium through the website.

Add Recent App Lock to rom

Hey,
I have just installed Resurrection Remix on my OnePlus X,
and sadly it doesn't contain that lock icon when viewing the Recent Used view (in order to completely shutdown apps),
If you didn't get me - I'm talking about the lock that makes it impossible to close an app that you've locked (by clicking on the lock).
I've tried searching for an app or something which can add that to my phone but couldn't find anything,
is there any way to get it back somehow? I really like that ROM and it works truly amazing on my OPX.

It's not possible... The lock is a feature of OxygenOS and it is not possible to use it on other ROMs because OxygenOS is closed-source.

Would like to update you on the matter: Paranoid Android 7.1.2 is coming to the OPX soon and will have the feature, so all you have to do now is wait

Google Drive Backup - No Backup Found

I had problem with accidentally updating my Oreo 8.1 SGS9+ to Pie while being modded with Swift Installer. It failed. So I had to flash stock Oreo rom with Odin to get it working. I did a factory reset to get it running because it couldn't optimize apps.
On clean Oreo I tried to restore my old progress by logging to my main Gmail. As it always worked on all my devices in the past. But FML now everything refuses to work.
When I tried to log at the welcome screen and restore data from the old device (same model same system) NOT create new it shows something like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
which is not true, look at my drive -
I'm looking everywhere for a solution as I can't get past welcome screen and i won't create new (exactly same) device because I don't believe at all that Google won't overwrite the data I NEED.
Google support is also on top of **** - https://support.google.com/drive/answer/6305834?co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid&oco=1 by manage they understand DELETE.
What should I do. I even flashed lineageOS 15 as i thought its Samsung fault as its also based on oreo 8.1
Please help.
I have skipped the welcome screen to add account and see what will be restored. NOTHING no call logs, SMS, calendar, and of course no apps. Play store sees only 10 random apps when I can easily" count on my fingers" to 50

A better way to enable GCam on MIUI 12 ,Android Q for Mi 8 Lite?

[I'm not very knowledgeable about this area. I will try to give a reply if you need more detailed information. ]
I am using the latest version of stable MIUI 12, Android 10.

I have already flashed TWRP, rooted, and used a Magisk module to enable Camera2 api (in Android 10, simply editing build.prop does not work.The module's zip file is also form XDA but is lost, and I can see it replaces /system/lib[64]/libcameraservices.so and two files in /system/vender/lib). But there are 2 things that seem not very satisfying.
① The module uses system.prop to change build.prop, but it doesn't work.
I wonder whether the cause is a small bug of the module or the limitation of MIUI. Then I have to manually reboot to recovery and replace the file each time I disable or enable the module.
② When enabling the module, Google Camera do works, including HDR+ and night sight, but MIUI Camera and system face recognition stop working. In some "informal" uses such as WeChat Scanning QRCode, it will show a black screen, which is very inconvenient. Is there an approach or an improved module to both use the original Camera and Google Camera?
XDA is the forum I have the most hope. Please have a glance at my descriptions and give any opinions if you like!
