Here is a quick run down of the key features of the new Android 4.3 Galaxy S4 update, one thing though anyone that's used it noticed the launcher draws slower now? Maybe just me.

I agree, the app drawer launch effect looks much slower.
GOLF and 360 Panorama in camera??
I just wished to ask if the Camera of the S4 has been updated with the GOLF and the 360 photosphere camera mode??
please reply...eagerly awaiting
regards,
achyut.
Is the screen/text noticeably sharper or is that just minor
Does the stock browser hide the status bar in full-screen mode like the S3 did? (Stupid regression there).
I'm also curious if the 360 and Golf modes are in the camera.
You're taking about leak version.
The best reason for use TW is the camera, and nobody talks about it in the 4.3 posts!!!!
The camera is the only good reason for me to stay on stockrom.
Everything else of samsung either useless or way too much. Nobody needs all this features. Especially when the rom is thrice the size of stock android :/
NOTHING about the gt-i9500???? I'd rather stay with my razr hd, instead this mess!

I currently have a rooted Note 2 with a custom ROM running a S5/Note 3 style OS, and i like the reduce size feature for one handed use at time but it's not the easiest to activate honestly, but I see ol' Sammy has made this easier with the Note 4, and was wondering if there is anywhere or anyway that I could get this feature on my device? or atleast something like it to easily activate the reduced size screen with one button click? I'll provide a couple links for those who may not fully understand what I am talking about.
~Thanks in advanced!

Hi guys,
I'm thinking about changing my mate 7 to nexus 6 64g.b, do you think its a good choice? And which one is better? I want to handle lolipop device, and I found that mate7 is a little bit laggy comparing to other devices I had before like htc one m8 and the note 3... and is there any phablet that you advice me to buy?
depends on what's more important to you.
To me, 4000mah battery + slim design/bezel + cheap price >>> nexus 6.
I'm not a heavy gamer so for my day to day stuff, i the kirin 925 is just perfect and ive experienced no lag whatsoever. Plus, lollipop is rolling out in the new couple of months so I cant complain.
the question is what is your budget and what you need from your phone. If budget is not a problem for you go for the besy phones out there. The ham7 is for a niche of people who knows what its not the best phone but embraces the best quality of it. The screen, thinness and slim design, battery and scanner to name a very few. But if you want more processing power, custom roms, more tweaking and more dev support the ham7 is not for you bro.
I really recomend mate 7 nexuses are all crap ... very poor batt. weird , especially nexus 6 ..
get M7 ...
The poor battery life on the nexus is no excuse for stock android, it's just plain embarrassing. I'm hard core android, but if the device has no stamina, no fun. Btw the ham 7 does have performance mode too, plus sd card support.

first, Thank you for replying
And actually I'm have mate 7, and as I told you I'm bored of sticking on stock rom, I need more mods and tweaks. you may find this silly, but the white color of the notification panel is really annoying me!
Is there any cons except the battery? Do I have any options other than the Nexus 6?
Mate 7 is better, I've had many devices before the mate 7 such as note 4 and the mate 7 is more snapier I don't find it lag at all and I play games such as fifa15 and real racing 3 ect and it performs perfectly I don't have any complaints apart from speaker could be better and earphone output could be louder that is all!

Thanks OP Here's what my rundown has been - cause I prefer at least 6 inch devices - preferably powerful
Crossing a certain age number has done a number on my near vision - and hence at least 6 inches keeps me in the game.
1- Nexus 6 Battery life - Plenty of ROMS if you want to play - but remember you're always fixing the device - i.e. updating, programs troubleshooting - and never have a stable enough device IMHO - now if your life and time allows AMEN - but mine has not anymore.
2- T-MO Note 4 - On Cyanogenmod great device - great battery life - smaller size - the CM has bugs, poor battery life - no finger print scanner support. So I sold the device.
3- I have looked at the REDMI Note - Not too sure that's a good enough device.
4- Sony Z ultra - or Xperia Z Ultra (first is GPE, 2nd is Not) - If you care for the device - ditch GPE - there's more work on Sony Xperia Z Ultra - magnificient device - and has CM12 support
5- WIndows Lumia 1520 I have not held better hardware in my hand - ditched after 1 day - very poor app market. WInodws will never catch up - PERIOD.
6- Asus Zenfone 2 - 64 GB 4 GB - top of the line - does not go 8 hours on my usage ( I run a ton of back ground apps ) - the hardware was OK - but that's that - it was remarkably fast sold it immediately - Cannot live with that bloody battery life anymore.
I am from Android 2.1 onwards - and also CM 7 onwards - so I have been on this bandwagon long enough - I am recently questioning the worth of Stock Cyanogenmod - other than Hard Core Enthusiasts - cause the devices we're now running - even HAM 2 - has powerful enough hardware to get the job done - So while we do not get better battery life or better features even at the Cyanogenmod - We do get bugs - unlimited updates - one breaking what the other fixed - and the phone's like an old car that I spend more time under than over. So for my time and dime - I am spending less and less time on the development front.
Currenty Running HAM 2 - there's never been a problem the stock device has not solved - cannot beat the battery life, no it's not the latest or the greatest - but gets the job more than done with minimal disappointments Sorry long answer - thanx for reading if you made it this far Tell us what if you find anything else.

Exactly Mate 7 is snappiest phone I ever had .. all prev. phones are laggy ..
I am testing LG G3 and is sooo laggy
Okay then! I think I will wait until HTC release a big screen mobile phone , cause after a lot of testings, I found that they are the have the strongest build and the best interface.
Thank you all for participating , and thank you badrsj for you long reply

HTC would've gotten my money had they brought a new 6" One Max alongside the new One M9. But apparently they think there is no market for devices larger than 5.5" ... idiots.

Hi!
Can somebody with good heart and talent make the Pixel Camera App and algorithm work in our Note Edge phone. I've been using custom rom and camera apps seemed not good enough to use the hardware full potential.
:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
THanks!
Ive always wanted to try GCam and see if its all the hype it says it is.
Is there a modded version out for the Xperia 5 III? Thanks
None of previous Xperia (for the last 3 generations at least) flagship smartphone had working Gcam. Suggest this one will be no different.
bruh how is that even possible
I've been playing with one on my 5 ii, and the results are pretty good. Not as great as I expected, but that doesn't surprise me. The Sony hardware is not optimized to work with the software, and you could probably tweak the algorithms to make it work better with the Sony hardware. But, I don't have time to tweak the hundreds of settings in the GCAM mods to see what works best.
Where you have:
BSG: MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV1zfix
Download MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV1zfix by BSG.
www.celsoazevedo.com
It's not close to perfect, but it works on all 3 rear cameras.
Night mode doesn't work very well because Sony only exposes expores up to 1s for external apps, and the GCam crashes when tries to use more than 1s to capture more light.

Sorry, for that.
This site is a place where most of GCam mods are posted, for multiple devices and from multiple Devs, instead of even sketchier telegram groups.
The link in question I posted is from bsg19071979 here on XDA.

The biggest difference I can see, is in low light scenes, the google camera takes much better photos, and removes almost all the noise without losing to much detail.
In cases that the Xperia Camera clips the background, the Gcam resolves some detail in the clouds for example.
Overall I don't recommend it.
- Auto focus is it or miss.
- Touch to focus freezes the viewport.
- Video recording doesn't work.
- Selfie camera doesn't work because Sony uses a cheap Samsung sensor.
- Night mode doesn't work properly because Sony doesn't expose all the camera API properties.
- Out of the box the photos are a bit under saturated.
The diferent versions don't make any diffence in the case of the Xperia 5 III, that I know off.
Im my hold phone I needed a camera with a specific name to allow the google camera to access all the camera features in original ROM. More or less what sony does with the creator' color profile for specific apps.
and again.... which version u using....therea6 different.!
i tried the first 3 from the list and i don't like there results at all.!

I'm using rev X of the one ending in MGC. It runs okay. A little sluggish, but I don't have crashes. I did find a profile on the web and loaded it. GCAM on the Xperia cameras is a tool, but not a perfect one. I've learned from experimentation what areas it does well and what times it doesn't. I find it hard to say if it's better or worse than the stock app because it is situation dependent. If you're looking for something that you can replace the stock app with, your expectations will not be met. However, if you're looking for an app that does better in many low light situations where you have to shoot handheld, then it will give you capability you don't have with the stock app.

Disagree with X 5 III taking better photos than Pixel 5. I wish it was true so then it would be no need in Gcam. X 5 III takes good enough photos in perfect light conditions only. That's just my experience (with X 1 III though).

I don't like the quality output straight out of camera. Photos come out underexposed, out of focus, lack of clarity and lack of HDR too often.

This is exactly what I did! I 'm really happy that I was able to get rid of that overpriced, overhyped device. Certainly it is not worth even $800 to my opinion. Just because of underwhelming camera performance alone.
I currently have a Pixel 4a and an Xperia 5 iii. The difference in low light scenes is astonishingly in the Pixel's favor. During the day I really like the Xperia's colors and having multiple zoom levels is great too. But in poor light the $349 Pixel cleans the Xperia's clock. Sure, with a tripod and a static scene I could get a better result on the 5 iii perhaps but in most situations it's not close. Google has bottled smoke or something.
