HOW TO USE SAMSUNG CONTACTS APP ON SONY XPERIA - General Questions and Answers

Hi All,
I am keen to know, can I use the contacts app from Samsung kitkat 4 on my Sony Xperia x compact?
The app was on my Samsung Galaxy s5 mini.
Apparently it's made by snap.inc.
CONTACTS BY SNAP.INC 2.2.22
The reason I like the app is because of the call log I use it for my work
Can someone help me get this app working on my Xperia running oreo 8.0
thanks

Isn't it easier to find another contacts app which is running natively on your current device and had a similar call log feature?
Maybe it is no longer located in the contacts app but in the diaper app.

My father who is 71 has been using the Samsung for years had to upgrade his phone. I wanted to use the apps he was familiar with. He cannot use Samsung any more because he wants to put the phone is his pocket and the screens are too big. He has 2 phones a work phone and a personal phone.
2 phones in one pocket. Old man hard to learn new things

There are now two hacked versions, so most phones with front facing camera's should be coverd
For example, Atrix 4g,Galaxy S2.

Does Sony Ericsson Live View work with Galxy Ace with Cyanogen mod?

Hi everyone, I have been thinking about buying a Sony Ericsson Live View, because its very cheap, but I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace with Cyanogen mod 7 which is based on Android 2.3.7, and I have heard that the live view works great with Gingerbread, but I am not complety sure if the live view could work with the Galaxy Ace specially with one which runs Cyanogen, so, what is your opinion about it? , Sorry for my English the reason is that I am learning it.
I've got Sony Smartwatch with Galaxy Ace and CM7.2 on board and it is working really great. Unfortunately LiveWare Manager and Smartwatch APKs are very high on memory usage (and CPU, when too many widgets on Smartwatch), so be sure you've got fast and stable rom. I'm using The Ultimatum and I'm very satisfied.
I've got a LiveView, they're not very good. I also just a a Sony smartwatch which is the successor to the LiveView.
It's a fantastic piece of kit.

Gear S2 connection with non-samsung phones?

Hi all,
I'm looking at buying my first smart watch and the gear s2 seems to tick all the boxes for me. However, I've come across the gear app and plugin app in the play store and the reviews are terrible, with users bringing up issues with connectivity​ dropouts and the like.
I just wondered on your experiences on non-samsung phones with the S2?
(I'm on Nexus 6P, non rooted, 7.1.1)
Cheers!

I have a GS2 Classic paired to a Moto Droid Turbo 2. Generally, no problems.
Occasional disconnects after upgrading to Nougat, but less than one/week.

There are few differences in features available on the watch when using Samsung phone vs other brands. I know this first hand because I switched from a LG to a Samsung. But don't take my word for it, here's a chart that highlights​ the differences.

Fine on xperia Z5C
All go fine on p9 lite. No issues and good connectivity.
However you can pair with all Android (4.3+) and at least 1.5GB of RAM. I read that you can pair the watch to smartphones with 1GB of RAM, but you have to modify Samsung Manager apk, see https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s2/help/pair-gear-s2-moto-g-t3323385.
Yes you can use it with smartphone that has 1GB of RAM, but you need to use a modified Samsung Gear app.
Modified Samsung Gear app is available on my blog, I will try to update it as frequently as possible.

First experience I connect Gear S2 to Sony Xperia Z3 compact. Connection without problem but Gear app crashed. I solve it by installing older version of Gear app from APK mirror ( app from april 2016). It have no limitation. It was probably caused by ROOT.
Next I connect it to Moto Z play. No problem at all.
using non samsung phones we lost all the paid apps, right?
That s*cks :/

App purchases are tied to your Samsung account, not the device. They only need be purchased once. Devices can be changed at will.

Can I play Sony Xperia XZ Premium on samsung GEAR VR ?

Hi everyone,
I want to use Samsung GearVR with Sony Xperia XZ Premium as it has 801 PPI , Samsung gear VR only works with Samsung s7, s8 or s9 ...
So,Is it possible to install samsung s7 frimware on xperia premium like custom rom so i can use samsung gear software and oculus services?
Short answer: no.
Long answer: It's hard enough to get custom roms to work on the phones they're built for, let alone try and make a stock rom run on another brand of phone.
There's an even longer more in depth answer but just go with: no.
