Best Mods for Galaxy Note 8

Samsung made a superb phablet last year but the best mods for Galaxy Note 8 will make it shine even brighter. If you are never satisfied with your stock (Samsung-like stock) device, the best mods for Galaxy Note 8 will certainly give you something to enjoy.

Don’t take us wrong, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is a remarkable smartphone in its own right. However, it can be made even better if you install one of the best mods for Galaxy Note 8 on it. Of course, not every mod will be to your exact tastes, this is why we have compiled a list of all the interesting ones in one place.

Note: Some of the mods for Galaxy Note 8 will require a rooted device to work properly.

So without further talk, here are the 5 best mods for Galaxy Note 8.

Deep Discharge Protection Mod for Galaxy Note 8

While the deep discharge issue on the Galaxy Note 8 is not widespread, it can still potentially affect your device. Basically, some Galaxy Note 8’s when fully discharged was not booting up again. To Samsung’s credit, they tried to rectify that by launching a new firmware update but some users are still facing the issue.

This epic mod by dr.ketan from XDA developers shuts down the device as soon as the battery reaches 11 percent. This completely negates the effects of the deep discharge problem the smartphone faces. If 11 percent is too harsh for your tastes, you can easily opt for 9, 7, or 5 percent as well -> Deep Discharge Protection

Bixby Button Remapper Mod for Galaxy Note 8

Bixby, the virtual assistant made by Samsung is a neat little feature but it is nowhere near the power and versatility of Google own assistant. We would have loved Bixby more if it wasn’t forced on the only extra button on the smartphone.

This mod for Samsung Galaxy Note 8 allows you to remap the Bixby button to something more useful. If you don’t use Samsung’s assistant, this essentially gives you an extra button on the smartphone that can basically do anything for you. It even has long press and double tap options available, giving you more freedom. We highly recommend mapping Google Assistant to the button in a supreme act of rebellion -> Bixby Button Mapper

Stereo Speakers Mod for Galaxy Note 8

 

A ton of smartphones these days come with stereo speakers, and now with this mod for Galaxy Note 8, your smartphone can have them too. It’s a great mod that uses the earpiece as a second speaker to essentially make the Galaxy Note 8 a stereo experience.

The best part is that the mod can be activated by following some basic software modifications. It changes a few values in a file and that’s about it, you will get stereo sound in all your apps, games and streaming services. The only downside is that you will need a rooted device to make use of this mod. However, all you need to do is download the file and replace it in the /system/etc directory. After a reboot, your Samsung Galaxy Note 8 will have stereo speakers -> Stereo Speakers Mod

Zero Camera Mod for Galaxy Note 8

Zero Camera Mod has been around since the Galaxy S7 days and it is steadily growing its support for other devices as well. Zeroprobe is an XDA Senior Member and is experienced in making some amazing mods for smartphones, including this camera mod for Galaxy Note 8. The Zero Camera Mod opens up the full potential of the hardware and even introduces some new features that are not even available on the stock Samsung Camera app.

The best feature of the Zero Camera Mod is its ability to record QHD videos at 60 frames per second. This makes the captured footage remarkable to look at and has an obvious increase in quality. You’ll also get increase bitrates, better shutter speed settings, superior JPG quality, improved autofocus tracking and HDR recording at QHD resolution. You will need to have a rooted device for this mod to work though, which is understandable considering how much power it had -> Zero Camera Mod

SideSqueeze Mod for Galaxy Note 8

Some smartphones allow you to squeeze them in order to activate a function. Google Pixel and HTC U11 come to mind, both of them are squeezable smartphones that activate features when you put pressure on the sides. This mod, however, brings that very same functionality to your Samsung Galaxy Note 8 without the need for any hardware changes.

One of the best things about this mod is how genius it is. It uses data collected from the barometric sensor to actually detect when you are squeezing the smartphone. The mod even gives you the option of customizing the pressure intensity. It is also a very lightweight algorithm so you don’t have to worry about any performance or battery drain issues. You can download it directly from the Google Play Store. The free version provides basic functions but a premium version is also available if you want to unlock additional ones -> SideSqueeze Mod
