These are some of the more interesting new features from the owners manual that was posted earlier. They are "new" compared to the N2 but quite a few of them are carry over from the SGS4. Most of the really new stuff on the N3 is centered around S Pen and inking. A lot of thought has been put in to enhancing multiview also. The camera appears, at least functionally, to be the same as the SGS4's.
S Pen nib is replaceable

Very cool! I love how the SPen can be used with the Menu and Back soft-keys. Does anyone know if the SPen can emulate pressing the Home button using the Air Commands or perhaps clicking on the SPen button?

This is also intriguing. I currently use Screen Filter to really darken my N2's screen to allow for night-time reading. I'd be curious to see exactly how dark the N3's built-in Reading Mode will make the screen.
It's not clear to me whether app shortcuts can be used on a password-protected lockscreen. This has long been a complaint of Android, and is one of the few things that iOS does better. I'd like the ability to use "whitelisted" applications so that I don't have to unlock the entire phone just to use, say, the camera. Basically, I click on the app on the lock screen, and immediately use it. I don't care if the phone is lost/stolen and a stranger takes pics with the "whitelisted" camera shortcut (if anything, it would be helpful because I have all photos set to upload automatically to Dropbox, and if my phone is lost/stolen, I can check to see what pics someone might be taking with it, including any selfies which might help to identify the perp!).
I do not know if it was confirmed till this day- the slapdragon 600 variant of S4 had the Exmor R version of that 13 mp camera whilst the Exynos one got Exmor RS. Which Exmor version did the slapdragon 800 get?

Hi All,
Inspired by "Spy Cam OS" by jimmod (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1934513&highlight=spy+cam+os), I made an application (Watchout) that allows us to see and capture through a real time camera preview while we're on mobile activity. It's a camera preview on top of other application, so we're able to do our mobile activity (such as browsing, chatting, etc) and see/capture what is in front of us at the same time.
Tested only on Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy S4 so far, really appreciate if you can test on your device and give feedback here or at the market.

Thanks
One fine app. Thanks
thx this is a very good app..
a few suggestions..
(1) the zoom in/out function is a bit hard to use.. need to drag the frame left/right multiple times to do zoomings..
(2) allow to resize the frame on screen (instead of setting it in settings)..
(3) double-tap (or other gesture that fits) to close the app.. i found it sometimes hard to drag the frame to the correct spot to close it (or to enter settings, or to zoom in/out).. my own finger hinders my view whether im on the icon or not..
maybe swipe up for settings, swipe down to close, swipe left/right to zoom, tag to capture, double-tap to resize & drag to move frame?
btw, it works fine in my nexus 4 stock 4.3 rom rooted..
Thanks for the app! Looks way better than other ones i've used.
Works perfect on my Samsung Galaxy S3 running S4 Revolution v7.0 (Android 4.2.2)

are you unable to edit the text inside "Captured Image Path" box or the directory path you've entered is not being created?

i see this box and i change it by camera folder like /storage/sdcard/dcim but nothing happen.
thx.. v1.2 is good..
two issues noted:
(1) having set double-tap action to close app, when double-tapped, the app force closed
(2) having set long-press acton to open settings (and zoom buttons set to show), when long-pressed, the 2 zoom buttons stayed on screen.. they wouldnt go away in the settings screen, in normal screen, and even when the app was closed.. they only went away when i removed the app from app list..
log attached..

regarding the above two issues, (1) is fixed..
the behaviour of (2) now becomes "no response", i.e., setting long-press action does not have any effect..
i have set it to "settings" and "zoom in", and both times there was no response when i long-pressed the watchout window..

HTC's Photo application is supposed to support "scenes". Here's what the PDF documentation says:
Choosing a scene
Instead of manually adjusting the camera settings, you can select a scene with predefined settings that best matches the environment you're capturing.
1. On the Home screen, tap the camera icon to open the Camera app.
2. Switch to Pro mode. See Choosing a capture mode for details.
3. Tap [A] and then choose a preset scene. Select:
[moon & stars] when capturing nightscape such as a city skyline or street with city lights. Keep the camera steady when taking the shot for best results.
[man running] when capturing a fast-moving subject such as your kid playing sports or a moving car.
[flower] when capturing a close-up shot of a subject such as a flower or insect.
4. When you're ready to take the photo, tap [shutter release].
If you need to manually adjust a scene and save it as a new preset, see Manually adjusting camera settings.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Note that the documentation uses graphic icons for [A], [moon & stars}, and so forth, which I can't reproduce in the quote. See the screen-shot attached.
Also see the screen shot for what my "Pro" mode shows. I can't find the [A] to tap, to select a different scene. How do I get "scenes" to work?

For those of you who have not really dug into what you can do with Nova Launcher gestures, you are in for some fun!
The origin of my looking into it was the lack of the Battery meter that we all know exists in Android. In another thread a user pointed out that you can map a Nova Launcher gesture to expose that screen. With that, I have been tinkering for a while now seeing what else can be done. So far, I found a few useful things, but I am sure, you will find more ! One thing worth noting, THIS DEVICES MENU SYSTEM FRUSTRATES ME as many times a message will pop up saying " you need to "do something" because of "something " and when you click the message, it deep links you into the Nex's menu. In many cases that screen it exposes is like a " Huh, well dam, this screen has useful functionality, I need to access this in the future" moment. The next though is, well how do I get back to this menu again? Easy, hit the little "<" at the top of the screen to have it step back through where it is in the menu tree - WRONG! It always just takes you back to your home screen - DAM ! Well, with Nova Launcher gestures maping to activities, you can find many of these "hidden or buried" menus in the Nex.
So here goes - Note that YOU MUST have Nova launcher installed and setup to be your main launcher.
1. Open Nova Launcher
2. Tap on Gestures
3. Pick a gesture you wish to map (for testing, use pinch in - as you may have already used the good ones up - like doubletap )
4. From the next Nova Launcher menu, tap on "Shortcuts" at the top of the screen"
5. When you tap on "Shortcuts" you will now see a list of items you can map to. Select "ACTIVITIES"
6. Scroll through the list util you find something interesting > tap the item to now map to that gesture
7. Now - test your gesture !!
HERE ARE SOME VERY INTERESTING ACTIVITIES AND SECTIONS I HAVE FOUND - I have not tried these all yet (unless indicated)
- Assistant > Assistant - this is the google assistant (assuming you have it installed). Its nice to be able to call it from a gesture as we do not have a "long press" option when we are using the Nex's gesture navigation
- Battery > Power Consumption ranking
- Factory Test > any one of these, lots of cool menus and tests, including test for the pop up camera!
- FuntouchOS Launcher > There are a few here that look interesting like
- Settings > HAVE FUN HERE - lots to see!!! More comments about this below.
- Smart Click > Smart Click > .Main Activity - WOW, why cant I find this menu in the normal settings ??? This lets you map the volume down key when the screen is off to pretty much anything !! I set mine to call google assistant. It wont call it when the screen is off, but when you unlock, the assistant will be waiting there for you!
- Smart Launcher - a number of interesting things here - Have fun !
- System UI - This looks to have a lot of fun stuff, like " Marshmallow land " - ???, " Screensaver", "Sweets Box"
- VoLTEconfig > VoLTEconfig> .console.VoConsoleActivity - This brings up an entire VoLTE config menu.
-Vtouch > a few interesting things here
- Wisdom Engine > a few interesting things here (This stupid thing ends up shutting down all the mods we do ! - Maybe some clues within the 5 mappable sections here - any takers?"
----------------------------------------------------
OK SO NOW - "- Settings > " Here are a few I tested - There are over 200 settings here for you to test!
Settings>Battery>.fuelgauge.PowerUsageSummary - This brings up the hidden android battery screen that lets you see OST and battery stats
Settings> Launch Camera Quickly - This brings up a menu that lets you launch the camera by pressing the power button 2 times !
Settings > Night Mode - This brings up a night mode menu with a scheduler - Very cool!
Settings > Smart Button
--------------------------
So that's it for now. Normally I would say " no magic here" but with funtouch launcher being more like "dumbtouch launcher", there could be some worthwhile discoveries here. Please post any great finds !

Thank you, it would be good to have an hack also for a full multi-window experience. It's get frustrating a so big display in mono(almost) task.
I'm new in this thing, can you give me link that show how to download and install nova launcher
