Several apps from the Galaxy S5 were extracted and made available for download on theXDA-Developersforum.
The applications received a facelift on theGalaxy S5, sporting a flatter, more modern look, as well as enhanced functionality.XDAmember Albe95 uploaded .apk files for the following apps: S Note, Watch ON, S5 Calculator, Gear Fit Manager, Galaxy Gear Manager, S Health, and S Translator. Check outthis threadto download them.
The good news is users of theGalaxy Note 3,Galaxy S4and other high-end Samsung devices can easily install the new apps, without even requiring root access. Youwillrequire root access, however, if you want to freeze or remove previous versions of the apps, which may cause conflicts with the new versions. According toSam Mobile, it’s possible that the new apps need Android 4.4.2 to run correctly; we were not able to verify this claim.
Here are some screenshots of the new apps:
