Hello, I want to introduce the Hold Screen ON app.
Bring a little bit of SGSIII opportunities to your phone
This application act as service and use front camera of your phone for human face detection. When the face is detected, the application will prevent the locking of phone's screen. Just keep the screen on while you are looking on it.
Key features:
This application uses your phone's camera only during the face scanning. By default, it is 3 frame every 5 seconds. Between these intervals, you can run any other application which can lock up and use the camera.
If your front camera have low resolution or small viewing angle, you can use eyes detection instead of face detection. Or all toghether.
The app can detect the phone rotation and respectively rotate image.
This is a Lite version. Therefore, application service's activity will be stopped after 10 minutes of continuous operation. Just restart the service, when it happens.
Requirements:
Android 2.3+ device with frontal camera
Download link:
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kkeyser.android.eyebuddy.demo
And the last:
I myself am the owner of the Note and often use my application. I think many will be interested in it. Of course, I am pleased to hear all your suggestions and comments
I used a similar app called ISeeYou and to be honest it didnt work so well for me,
Does this one work perfectly ? Dont want to be buying apps that dont do the job
Just try it and decide I post link to the free version. Unlike the ISeeYou, I use opencv library with face and eyes detections cascades. The benefits is a eyes detections (in addition to face detection). Disadvantages is apk size - now about 4 MB.
Update:
Version 1.27 is released.
New features and fixes:
Application binding: now you can describe app behaviour on all or one apps running.
Minor and major bug fixed
Hi trying the app now. It does not work in low light condition on the Note.
Any suggestions
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
how is the battery usage with it?
Sorry, but in low light conditions any face detections app is lost. I try to improve detection algorhytms, but it can take some time.
About battery drain - mostly depends on scan interval. When screen goes off, the worker thread stops - run only when screen on (depends on app binding rules).
v1.32 is released
Version 1.32 is released.
New features:
Native (Android) face detection method implemented
Image histogram normalization was inplemented

FAQ
Q: Why is the image result is blurred and out of focus ?
A: Try to enable autofocus in setting. And try to not move the phone when taking picture for better result
Q: Can I open other app while taking pictures or recording video? Or turn off my screen?
A: Yes, you just need to press the action button (auto / video) then minimize. You can restore the UI back by clicking the notification. Other way is setup the volume button action, then you can minimize first and trigger the image capture or video recording with volume button.
Q: Run SCOS but no button shown only floating image preview
A: I'm guessing you are using Xiaomi phones or MIUI ROM, you need to enable floating windows option at Android setting - Application Manager - SCOS - checked option about floating window
Q: Using high-res image or video recording causing shutter sound, what can I do?
A: While SCOS try it best to disable the shutter sound still some phone model forcing the shutter sound and SCOS still depends on the API provided by the ROM/OS. If your phone rooted you can remove the shutter sound file located at /system/media/audio/ui, find audio file contain 'shutter'
Q: My video seems corrupt, SCOS was crashed when recording/the phone shutdown because battery empty. What can I do?
A: Sorry to hear that. Some user reported that they can recover part of the video with recovery video tool, so the best bet is you try install recovery video tool for your PC/Mac. I'm adding shutdown handling on V0.4.1 to prevent video corrupt on empty battery.
Q: I've bought SCOS donate app, do I need to buy SCOS2 donate key?
A: No, just email me about it. I'll send you SCOS1 donate key.
Q: It's been a while since last update, do you still maintain it?
A: Yes, although SCOS is not my main job. Join the beta tester to get updated with latest 'quite stable' feature. I'll try to publish it to beta every time I add new feature.
Q: Can I contribute new language or update language (new string / wrong translation)?
A: Sure, all SCOS translation is from contributor. I will appreciate it a lot and it will help non-english speaker use SCOS.
Q: I have great ideas for SCOS
A: Cool, share it here or email it to me through setting - send feedback.
Q: I found bug, crash or some feature not working
A: Sorry to hear that, share it here or email it to me through setting - send feedback.

Got your error report, many thanks. I will check on the issue (added to app issues)
It forced closed immediately on my Samsung Infuse running the latest CM10. I'm not sure if the error report went though though. I can try again if not.

Since the application will always portrait, even if your current phone state is landscape it will still portrait.
Do you mean that the app should support landscape mode?

You're right, my bad. I forgot about the tablets..
Will include this on the next version. (Noted on https://bitbucket.org/jimmod/spycamera/issue/13/application-orientation-should-depends-on)
Great app, I do have a feature request
Hide the notification bar when you click "black"
Press screen to take photo while on "black" instead of showing the screen again
also a bug report
if I click back when I am on black, the app just stops responding
I have a galaxy S i900 with ICS 4.1.2
Great!
Works in Galaxy Ace (S5830)
Just some requests.
If I zoom in too much, the zoom out button will dissapear and I won't be able to to zoom out again unless I delete the app and install again, it could also be moveable as a widget
Sounds like an amazing app I shall download at once

For click back on my phones (Galaxy Note & W) is not crashing it, just exit the app. Will change it to close the black screen rather closing the app.
I also notice that on black screen if we doing fake calls (put the phone on our ears) it will close the black screen.
Planned to also change this.

Do you mean the plus(+) button for increasing the preview size.
Noted. Will prevent it to exceed the screen width on next version.
For moveable preview I will need to think from UX perspective.

As you may know, I often create modifications for Android and rather than them ending up all over the place, I'm now adding them to the 'MoDaCo Toolkit', which is built to use the Xposed Framework - http://mdc.gd/xposedfw. I plan on updating this every time I come up with a new tweak, be it a generic Android modification or specific to a particular device.
The pre-requisites are as follows:
You MUST be rooted
You MUST have the Xposed Framework installed and active
You MUST accept that modifications are used at your own risk
You may NOT distribute the toolkit (including in custom ROMs) - link back to this topic
Hit the 'Follow' button at the top right of the main MoDaCo Tookit topic to be notified of updates
Got that? OK.
The Toolkit can be downloaded in the main Xposed Toolkit thread here.
To use, simply download and install, enable the module in 'Xposed settings' and then enable the mods you want in the 'MoDaCo Toolkit' application. Note that most modifications will require a reboot to take effect and not all modifications will work on all devices!
Modifications currently included are:
Action Launcher Pro + HTC One: Transparent status bar.
Amazon MP3: Force US locale - use this if cloud player is not yet available in your country. Clear data on Amazon MP3 after enabling.
Facebook: Force Home Compatibility: Facebook will detect your device as Facebook Home compatible.
Google: Disable Wallet checks - remove region and root checks from Google Wallet.
Google: Force Play Store to 720P - your device will appear as a 720P device to the store, useful if apps are missing on your 1080P device.
Google: Prevent app disabling - apps from outside your region (e.g. Wallet, Sound Search) will not be disabled on startup.
Google Nexus 7: Show Camera in launcher - restore the missing Camera icon to the launcher.
Google Nexus (all): Disable safe volume warning.
Google Nexus (all): Enable multi-user support if unsupported on stock (e.g. Nexus 4).
Google Nexus (all): Enable advanced reboot options - aka EPM, show reboot / recovery / bootloader reboot options on power menu.
Google Nexus (all): Show user on power menu - this allows you to switch users using the long-press power menu.
HTC First: Hide carrier in status bar - stop the carrier name showing in the top left.
HTC One: Disable high volume warning - disable the volume warning that shows when cranking up the sound with headphones in.
HTC One: Enable ADB with secure lockscreen - ADB WILL NOT be disabled on boot if the device has a secure lockscreen configuration. DANGER: This is a potential security risk - handle with care!
HTC One: Enable advanced reboot options - aka EPM, show reboot / recovery / bootloader reboot options on power menu.
HTC One: Enable button options (only required on Android 4.1 ROMs) - the button options item will appear in settings, allowing you to configure the back button long press as menu.
HTC One: Volume wake - wake your device with the volume keys!
HTC One: Hide Kid Mode on power menu - this removes the Kid Mode option on the menu displayed when you long press the power button.
HTC One: Match battery image to % - the standard battery images don't correspond to the % remaining, this fixes that.
HTC One: Rename Flashlight to Torch - for us UK types.
HTC One: Show Blinkfeed icon in launcher - if you are using a third party launcher, this provides a simple way to access Blinkfeed. Just remove all the homescreens.
Pebble: Low priority notification (removes persistent icon).
SlingPlayer: Disable legacy hardware warning - remove the warning when connecting to older Slingboxes.
System: Allow all rotations - rotation will be allowed in all directions, even upside down.
System: Device properties - a number of device properties (normally read from build.prop) can be changed on the fly. BOARD, BRAND, DEVICE, MODEL and PRODUCT are included initially. Want others? Let me know!
System: Disable forward lock - apps will not be able to install to /mnt/asec, instead installing to /data/app. NOTE: May cause issues on some Samsung devices.
System: Enable action bar menu button - the software menu button will be displayed even if you have a hardware menu button.
System: Enable app buttons - the disable and notification options will be enabled for system apps.
System: Enable dreams service - enable the dreams screensaver service.
System: Enable lock screen rotation - if your device supports it, this will allow lock screen use in landscape.
System UI: Custom operator name.
System UI: Hide AM/PM on clock - hide the AM/PM indicator on the clock when not in 24H mode.
System UI: Hide battery meter - hide the battery meter, useful if you're using a third party app in the notification bar like Battery Widget Reborn (now also supports the HTC One!) or battery percentage.
System UI: Hide ongoing IME switcher - hide on the input method switch prompt.
System UI: Show battery percentage - show the remaining battery percentage next to the clock.
System UI: Show navigation bar - this allows you to show the navigation bar on supported devices.
Trackball Alert: Easy download link - easily download the TBA app and Xposed module.
Wireless: Enable NFC when screen is off - NFC works when the screen is off, useful for NFC launch tasks.
Wireless: Enable Face Lock with VPN - VPN (Credential Storage) will be available with Face Lock security.
If you have specific tweak requests or general questions, please visit http://mdc.gd/modacotoolkit
Note that special steps are required to activate the Xposed framework on the HTC One - see http://mdc.gd/xposedfwone for further details.
Big thanks go out to rovo89 for the framework and also to Bharath Prabhuswamy for the application icon.

Came to know via AP. I shall post the same thing here:
In my GS2 running CM10.1 I could see the "user" in settings. Was able to create a new user. But there was no way I could switch users. And even after enabling the option under "Google Nexus (all) I couldn't see the users under power menu. Bummer.
Thankfully the OS loaded with main user when I simply rebooted. Else I would have been stuck in void with test user!

Does anyone have this running successfully on their T-Moblie Note II? I'm running Jedi Master 13, upgraded the Xposed Framework to version to 2.1.4, and installed and activated this toolkit. However, none of the features seem to work. For example, enabling the NFC while screen off does nothing. I even tried the Google Wallet mod, and still, nothing. Thanks!
Version 22 is online. This is a major update with a lot of new features as a direct result of user requests! Want something that's not included? Post on the main MoDaCo Toolkit post on MoDaCo to request!
Changes in this release (not that, as always, not all mods will function on all devices due to ROM variations):
Bug fix: removed reporting dialog after reboot on HTC One
Change: Modified wording of several options
Removed module: Play Store: Lower case wishlist menu (no longer required)
New module: System: Enable lock screen rotation
New module: System UI: Show navigation bar
New module: System: Enable dreams service
New module: System UI: Hide ongoing IME switcher
New module: System UI: Hide AM/PM on clock
New module: HTC One: Disable Sprint SystemUI flag (should remove persistent GPS icon)
New module: HTC One: Volume wake
New module: Nexus (all): EPM (reboot / recovery / bootloader reboot options on power menu)
Download via the first post or using the in app updater (simply launch the MoDaCo Toolkit settings app to initiate a background update check). Enjoy - there are even more great mods to come too!

Hi man,
Thanks for this cool module. Unfortunately the two tweaks I tried to apply on my device did not work. The mods in question are "enable dreams service" and "show battery percentage." I followed the usual Xposed routine of install, enable module, reboot, enable tweaks within module, and reboot, but nothing. Lmk if I'm missing something or doing something wrong or if I can provide you with any logs or further information. Will be looking forward to the next update :highfive:!
Version 23 is now online!
Improvements: Changed handling of module code on incompatible devices, HTC One volume wake now works from deep sleep, NFC with screen off now works on HTC One, resolved issue with Nexus EPM.
Removed module: Sprint flag (more tweaks for Sprint / AT&T One devices to follow).
New module: Nexus (all): Disable safe volume warning.
Enjoy!

Its a 7" Dragon Touch tablet (see my signature for more info). lmk if i can provide any other info or logs.
This toolkit is absolutely great; now I finally can use face unlock even though my device is encrypted and wouldn't allow me to use that otherwise. Thanks for the great work!!
One question: Does anyone here know a mod that deactivates the annoying "Battery Low!" popups that appear as soon as the battery reaches 14% and then 4%? For me to disable these is my top priority right now (actually I found this mod because I read that it has some battery related options... turned out to be the battery percentage in the UI). These notifications are just bad, especially when you are currently playing an online multiplayer game and they come up in the middle of the action and basically stop you from moving at all for a couple of seconds... I know there's a tool for the galaxy S3 that disables these, but I don't have a galaxy s3, I've got a Nexus 7
Anyway, keep up the good work!

Thanks a lot for your reply! The tweakbox says it's for ICS and it appears in the SGS3 thread, but I downloaded it and will try it anyway. Inside the app there is an info saying that a lot of features should be compatible with other ROMs as well... my battery level is at 30% right now, I will try to drain 15% and check if the battery warning comes up!
edit: it seems to work - thank you so much, now I've got everything I wanted!
hi , please can you add , wake up with volume button for galaxy S3 , tks a lot
Paul,
I installed your toolkit on my HTC Inspire 4G (Desire HD) a while back when you were running a coupon code....I'm already using other xposed modules but for whatever reason the modaco toolkit did not show up in the list of modules...it shows in settings/apps but if there is supposed to be an icon in apps that is also missing. Any thoughts on how I might "activate" it?
Version 24 is now online!
New in version 24:
Fixed: Hide kid mode and volume wake now work on HTC One 4.2.2 ROMs.
New module: Action Launcher Pro + HTC One: Transparent status bar
New module: System UI: Custom operator name
New module: Pebble: Low priority notification (removes persistent icon).
Enjoy!

THE VERY IMPORTANT NOTES POSTED WITH THIS RELEASE !
Install Notes
1) DirtyFlashing from ALPHA 1 is possible , yet a clean flash is always much more recommended
2) Its recommended to MANUALLY Wipe SYSTEM,DATA And CACHE when doing a clean install
3) Busybox installation will take an extra minute or two
4) if the ROM was stuck on splash, Update your Recovery to the latest available, (if none available wait for @DahakePL to add support)
Special Notes (Very Important)
Camera
- SamsungCamera is very unstable, but sometimes takes photos (with all samsungs optimizations), For video recording use FootejCamera (included in the rom)
- Video recorder in 3rdParty apps will only record upto 1080P 30FPS
- Video recording will not work in Samsung camera at all
- API2 Features like pro mode or brightness slider WILL crash the samsung Camera
- Camera works flawlessly on 3rd party apps like snapchat etc
- Camera VideoRecording might have issues with SOME 3rdparty apps Therefore record in Footej only
Audio
- EliteScripts app is mandatory for all users to have a "good enough" experience with Audio in this ROM use it to switch Audio states
- N910C/H Audio will allow earpiece calls for those variants, and 3rdParty app Microphone support, Bluetooth audio will not work
- N91xSLK Audio will allow earpiece calls for those variants, but NO 3rdParty App microphone support, Bluetooth Audio WILL work
- N910U Audio will allow earpiece calls for those variants, but NO 3rdParty App microphone support, Bluetooth Audio WILL work
- Audio State can be switched on the Fly without reboots using EliteScripts
- Each Audio state can be used on any variant, with the difference begin what it allows, so C/H Users can pick SLK when they want to use Bluetooth Audio devices, And N91xSLK/U users can pick C/H when they want to use 3rd party recording apps
Special Notes about EliteScripts App
- This app is Inhouse made in less than 20Hours, expect bugs
- QS Toggles are Slow to change QS Color only, but fast in changing audio state
- The app WILL NOT work without Root
- QS Tiles are hidden by default, press the top right menu to show them
- When the QS is blue, the script has been activated
- Run it atleast once before use at boot
- Whitelist it from smartmanager battery optimizations
- the app might FC if it was removed from recents or cleared ram in some scenarios
Other
- Sensorhub is disabled in this release intentionally, as 24 hours ago it was discovered that its causing some random reboots for few testers
- Audio by default sounds near Stock, if you want to increase it, you can do so yourself by using 3rdParty apps, or magisk modules such as Viper4Android or DolbyAtmos
- Adapt sound and SoundAlive will only work when N91xSLK/N910U is selected in Elite Scripts
- ROM uses WQHD resolution by default, and boot animation will and forever will be Cut in half when you set to FHD
Quick F.A.Q
Q : Phone is HOT, battery is bad , how to improve ?
A : You have full control on the kernel included, open EliteTuner and play with frequencies and various other tunables
Q : Samsung Camera is usable ?
A : It works the best for selfies, everything else is buggy
Q : Will the audio ever be improved?
A : Well i thought the camera could never be fixed, so only the future can tell
Q : EliteScripts keeps FCing sometimes
A : Always keep the app running in the background to use QSToggles

Frequently Asked Questions
Good idea to read this F.A.Q While the rom is installing
Refined Nougat 6.0 Notes :
1- Recommended to boot in sound mode always (not vibrate or silent)
2- Bluetooth calling starts working after 10 minutes of boot
3- audio boosts are loud, better to try stock ones first
4- Dirty Flash is POSSIBLE from 5.5/5.6
5- Recommended to change edgelight mode to "SCREEN ON" only
6- Recommended to enable small callUI in phone settings (loads faster while using apps)
7- DT2W sometimes requires a tap then quick double taps
8- 1080P is recommended for the smoothest UI (not really the smoothest gaming tho)
9- If playstore is not installing upon a clean flash, reboot
10- When GPS stops giving you accurate readings. pull the status bar and tap Kill GPS button (will be hidden at first)
11- if GPS KIller isnt running, be sure it has ROOT
12- Sometimes installing magisk will not bring the app. if you got no root, reflash magisk manually
Refined Nougat 5.5 FA.Q :
Q : How to use VoLTE on N91xSLK variants ?
A : It will automatically work When you are on a network that supports VoLTE , and call someone who also uses VoLTE network and enabled device. Difference in audio is major (its like doing a 3rd party call in clarity, minus its bugs)
Device will switch to 4G/LTE mode while doing the call.
Q : How usable is Samsung camera?
A : Its perfect and the recommended way to take Photos/selfies
Most of the effects are working fine including HDR , Beauty etc
Q : Sometimes Samsungcamera FC, why ?
A : Dont move the exposure (light bulb) if you want to then you need to only move it by +/- 0.5 degree for it to work
Q : Samsung camera doesnt save recorded videos.
A : Use footej instead
Q : How to send videos in Some 3rdparty apps that wouldnt save videos?
A : Always record videos with footej, then pass it to the needed app. Programs like snap chat should work fine
Q : How bad is the video quality with the whatsapp gif fix ?
A : With the latest one, its very minimal and almost non noticeable
Q : People say my phone is BUSY and cant receive calls while the phone is ON and not busy
A : When using LITE ONLY mode in mobiledata options, you wont be able to receive calls As calls only work on LTE/3G/2G modes
Q : My boot animation is cut in half HELP !
A : Change resolution from FHD to WQHD in settings > display
Q : Recommended kernel tweaks/CPU frequency stays high
A : Check this post #213
Q : I dont see any EDGE panels after installing
A : Reboot the phone
Q : I cant see edge lighting when screen on (only works on screen on)
A : it wont work on screen OFF, and setup your edge panels to show notification on ALL APPS and reboot after that
Q : How is battery Life ?
A : It should be better than stock, if you dont like it tho, get a powerbank as its very unlikely to improve
Q : Will fingerprint be fixed ? ever ?
A : I will attempt to fix it, probably fail, but ill try
Q : AOD
A : I have no luck porting the driver yet
Q : How to use dualboot patcher with this ROM
A : I assume you read this Guide, Flash nougat as primary, SET kernel and DO NOT UPDATE RAMDISK, flash MM in secondary dataslot, and thats it. use latest TWRP always. For a FULL guide read this post by @omidr7
Q : What to do after the rom is setup ?
A : Go to samsung apps, let the phone update everthing
Q : My phone does NOT boot help pls
A : Ensure you have LATEST AF bootloader and modem installed, did all the wipes, and did your house chores,

WARNING : THESE ARE ONLY FOR REFINED 5.6 AND LOWER
1. Refined Nougat 5.2.1 Audio Setup
This brings back the Audio setup that was present in 5.2.1 . with all its pros and cons.
i.e No bluetooth Audio for N910C/H , relying on EliteScripts to switch audio states for supported variants.
Read 5.2.1 Notes section for more information.
Installation : Flash Via TWRP. No wiping needed.
AFH: Download
--------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Refined Nougat Echo FIX
The fix is basically by Fully cutting of MIC 2/3 and lowering MIC 1 and earpiece volume. if you continue to have echo, lower your ear piece volume (volume while in-call). if you STILL have echo, tell the people on the other-side to stop being so sensitive
P.S : This will disable any Loud speaker mods, i wont be making 3 other mixers for that, if you want to increase speaker volume, download some audio mod that doesn't contain Chinese back doors.
1. Users with 5.6 Audio
N910C/H : Download
N91xSLK : Download
2. Users with 5.2.X Audio
N91X : Download
Installation : Flash Via TWRP. No wiping needed.
Personal Notes
V6.0 personal Notes
I will make it short. having 5.6 as EOL didnt work out so much i guess. somehow there is still room for improvement, i was wrong. in the past month or so there has been alot of changes to my Note 4. not only N7FE wise. AOSP wise, Treble Wise. there is much more potential now for more development. now sadly i remain the only active dev. which means everything will come, but very slowly. considering i work on other phones, that does not help our case. This release beside bug fixes, focuses ALOT on Audio as it was the main problem with the ROM besides camera and other stuff. Apart from that, some wanted features are here based on your suggestions, i couldn't add all as some were not feasible, or required RomControl (which i dont want to dive into due to time concerns). Then finally, The kernel was changed alot to focus on performance and stability. there is some new features but most importantly it runs much better. RIL weird signals should be less. GPS hangs should be resolved. oh and bluelightfilter helps aswell.
overall i say its a good release. Now will there be a next version ? Probably. as im working on camera and many other hard bugs.
i dont know if ill make them work but as always i can try. hope you guys enjoy this release.
V5.6 Personal Notes
Ah well, first this update is more or less to fix some of the issue in 5.5, and remove V4A. and basically pack everything into one zip
Its nothing to write home about, but this leads to the second point. There is a big chance this update is the last for the N7FE project.
I personally couldn't manage to fix it beyond this state, so for now this is as good as it gets. it leaves some to be desired stability wise but there is nothing i can do about it at this point. everything has an end, and this project is no different.
the 7.1.1 port was a big flop, after over 2 months of work and attempts, im unable to fix 2 fundamental issues (RIL,WIFI)
So really i dont know where to go with N4 now. in the background i work with few devs on LOS 15.1 but its not ready any time soon.
Idk guys, if this indeed was the last update i post for Note4, i just like to say it was a really awesome journey and i met so many good people from it. I hope this isnt the end.
Happy new year everyone.
V5.5 Personal Notes
Well finally. We have something that i can call Stable. something that took me Around a year and half to achieve. This release to me is as exciting as the first time Nougat booted on this device. Its something that i personally never thought would reach a state where its actually usable by the masses. to an extent. (and not N910U). Im really proud to give you this version (5.5 isnt the most catchy, but what did you expect i never was good with names or versioning)
Id like to flex on samsung who decided to leave this phone to rot in a firmware that really wasn't suitable for it. This device was born to run Samsung experience, Not LagWiz. And running it is something his phone excels at.
In this release i focused more on fixing issues and annoyances that prevented me from enjoying this phone, and made me cuss it.
The new Kernel is totally a different experience, i hope you guys share your input about it.
SamsungCamera is now very usable for taking Photos/Selfies with full samsung effects. just dont use exposure slider (or just move it very slightly to 0.5 +/- that also works)
Audio system is much more usable aswell. it has some issues. but we might be able to patch them in the future.
As all things, nothing is perfect and without its issues. but based on what we are given and whats available to us. this is as good as it gets until the next release. Id like to thank everyone from my testers, to the loyal users and to my friends who assisted me on this.
BETA 2 Personal Notes
Finally im able to bring to you, loyal note 4 owners the BETA 2, its another major step in my plan to fully discard custom rom users of Old, outdated, and horribly looking Marshmallow (very evil i know). i believe that with this update if you fit the criteria above then this may very well be suitable to be a daily driver, and so it was for my self for the past year. The camera isnt something to write home about, its serviceable at best but does do its job in some scenarios. the Audio is quite messy to be honest, but i think its matter of few days before new users can get used to it. until a real solution is found (one that supports all these variants is highly unlikley). This update was a tough one im not gonna lie, lost my data twice, the Audio real time switching was a headache to deal with and develop at the last minute. heck the entire test rom got leaked for 10 minutes ! but with team work i am quite happy to say that this is a good update. Ofcourse this does not mean this rom is gone, there is alot more work left to do, that im still willing to do. and my plans for beta 3 to not be 3 months away
ALHA 1 Personal Notes
So, its finally here, this project was started august 2017, its finally "ready" for its first ALPH Release, Working on this phone was the best thing i did, however it was a dreaded task, Bringing this phone to Nougat was seriously the hardest task ive done, our phone is extremely incompatible with EVERYTHING. yet somehow its now in a state where i can say it can be used daily (N910C/H Mainly) as long as you dont care about the listed bugs. i know there seem to be "ALOT" of bugs, but god you have no idea how it was before, for now this is ALPHA 1, later down the line, more builds will come hopefully fixing everything. for now everyone can have a taste of nougat.
