Just figured, the cwm script has the wrong mount point.

Working perfectly now. Its a nifty feature to have.
Thanks

What is this?

The optical reader integrates the samsung keyboard with input ocr capabilities using the camera to scan text. The standalone app is useful to translate text on the fly by pointing at the camera.

Any chance to install it manually??(no cwm yet).

thanks

Strange Samsung excluded Optical Reader from the Note 3, it is there in the S4. I installed an alternative called 'Photo Reader' from the Play Store, but the app crashes on opening. I modified my phone a little bit (Vega Root, Foldershare (incl. fix mount points)).
Is there anyone who tried this 'Photo Reader' app on the Note 3 who can confirm it working on the Note 3?

You can install manually (I did that way) simply by copy the zip structure in the corresponding folder structure. There are no overlapping libraries, so no risk that anything go mess. The only thing are the permissions to be set as discussed in the OP

....Obviously using root explorer or similar because working on the system partition.

Any idea what's the corresponding folder??

The structure is the same of the zip file starting from system/

I've tried flashing this, verifying permissions and then replacing apk and lib files with ones from the latest S4 4.3 ROM.
The final step at least got the app to launch but it still won't OCR. I also tried installing the optical reader database from Samsung's App Store.
I was wondering if anyone has tried Abbyy Mobile TextGrabber? Is it pretty much the same thing? If so, I might just buy it!

check the permissions of the folder system/photoreader and the subfolders (should be drwxr-xr-x 755). This activated the on the fly OCR functionality.
I'm on sm-n9005 xxubmj3 rooted odex.
I've reinstalled it manually because seems the cwm script is faulty and setup the permission manually and it works flawlessly.

I flashed it with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250555 on N9005 rooted on MJ1 and reader is confirmed working.
Also the extra dictionaries can be downloaded for free from Samsung apps.

[Q] Mod Whatsapp sounds

Hi! I have a question: is it possible to change the conversation tones in whatsapp? That tone that you get when you send a message and you get the tick and the sounds that you get when you're IN a specifical conversation and you get a new message. Can it be done?

Yes, but you'd have to decompile the app's apk, change the sound files with the ones you want, recompile it and sign it, then you'd have to backup the conversations, uninstall the original version and install the modded one, and all of this at every update

Hiding navigation bar after B571 update

So I made the B571 update and now I don't have the option to hide the navigation bar anymore. This is a problem since it reduces the overall size of the screen. Anyone have an idea of how this can be done without rooting my phone?

There's an already opened thread (by myself). Actually seems no solution if not rooting thr device. I have the same necessity and decided to do NOT update to B560 (and then B571).

Backup data and app on S7 without root

I see many post regarding the backup app and data on andorid marshmallow but with different opinion, especially regarding Helium Backup.
So there is for our phone a good backup app or the only way sure is root with titanium ?
Thank
Hispa

Hi, you can use Samsung Smart Switch, tap the upper right 3 dots and choose "transfer to external memory" or something similar, I'm translating from my Italian device
Let me know if it works!

Dialer, SMS and CONTACTS apps crash

Your help will be greatly appreciated:
Last night some apps were updated automatically, and since then my dialer, sms and contacts apps crash whenever i try to use them. If I boot the phone in 'safe mode', those apps work OK, but I can't use the other apps I have (except for the play store).
Any idea how to fix that without resetting?
How can I check which apps were updated?
Thanks

Crash means fc so need log (if you have root)
About how to understand wich app updated depend on wich android version you have but in application (where you can clear data of app) updated app should write remove the update..
Hope help....
