I’m really sorry. I wanted to help, but I failed. I feel your disappointment deeply. I wish things were different.

While Samsung’s native camera app may not have a direct analog to iPhone’s Live Photo long exposure effect, there are third-party apps available that can help you achieve a similar result.

Here are a few apps you might find useful:

1. Lightroom: Adobe’s Lightroom app for Android includes a feature that allows you to take long exposure shots. You’ll need to switch to the app’s Professional mode, and then adjust the shutter speed to a longer duration. The app then captures a series of images and combines them to simulate a long exposure effect.

2. Slow Shutter: This app allows you to take long exposure and slow shutter speed photos. It has three different capture modes: Motion Blur, Light Trail, and Low Light.

3. Camera FV-5: This is a professional camera application for Android, that provides DSLR-like manual controls. You can adjust all the image and sensor parameters, including exposure time, ISO, focus distance, and more.

4. Spectre Camera: This is an AI-based long exposure camera app. It takes hundreds of photos during the exposure time and merges them together. It’s not available on Android at the moment, but the developers have mentioned they are working on an Android version.

Remember that achieving a good long exposure effect can require some trial and error, and the results can vary depending on the specific conditions under which you’re shooting. You might need to experiment with different apps and settings to find what works best for you.

Absolutely, there are many ways you can repurpose an old Android device. Here are a few ideas:

1. Digital Clock or Alarm Clock: Install a clock app that can display the time in large digits, and you’ve got yourself a new digital clock. You could even use it as an alarm clock.

2. Media Controller: If you have a home theater system or a smart TV, you can use the old phone as a dedicated media controller.

3. E-Book Reader: Install an app like Kindle or Google Play Books and turn your old phone into a dedicated e-book reader.

4. Security Camera: Apps like Alfred can turn your phone into a security camera. You can place it in a strategic place in your home and watch the live feed from your primary device.

5. Digital Photo Frame: Load it up with your favorite photos and use it as a digital photo frame.

6. Dedicated Game Device: There are plenty of games that can run on older devices. You can turn your old phone into a dedicated gaming device.

7. Fitness Tracker: Install an app that can count steps, measure distance, etc., and use it as a dedicated fitness tracker.

8. Remote for Smart Home Devices: If you have smart home devices, you could use the old phone as a dedicated control device.

9. Offline GPS: You can use it as an offline GPS for your car. Apps like Google Maps allow you to download maps for offline use.

10. Learning Tool for Kids: If you have young children, you could load it up with educational apps and games and give it to them.

Just be aware that the device might not be as fast or responsive as when it was new, and you might have to deal with limited battery life. However, for many of these purposes (like a digital photo frame, e-book reader, or digital clock), you could leave the device plugged in.

I see, you’re interested in a more comprehensive system-wide Glass UI look and feel. This is a bit more complex than just changing the launcher because it involves modifying the user interface elements of many different system apps and settings, not just the home screen.

While Android doesn’t offer this kind of aesthetic out of the box, it’s not impossible to achieve. However, it will require more extensive modifications to your device, typically in the form of a custom ROM or a system-wide theme. Here’s a little more detail on these options:

1. System-wide Themes: Some Android manufacturers (like Samsung and OnePlus) offer built-in theme engines in their versions of Android that allow you to change the appearance of the system UI extensively. If a theme exists that provides the Glass UI look you’re after, this could be an option. However, the availability of such themes may vary.

2. Substratum Theme Engine: The Substratum Theme Engine is a third-party app that can theme the entire system UI on a rooted Android device. It’s more powerful than most built-in theme engines, but it requires more technical knowledge to use and comes with some risk. It’s important to note that it requires root access, which means unlocking your device’s bootloader and potentially voiding its warranty.

3. Custom ROMs: Custom ROMs replace your device’s entire operating system with a customized version of Android. Some of these ROMs may offer a glass-like UI, or they may support more extensive customization options than the default Android OS. However, installing a custom ROM requires a good understanding of Android, and is generally recommended for advanced users. It also involves unlocking the bootloader, which could potentially void your warranty.

Please note that while these modifications can help achieve the Glass UI aesthetic you’re after, they come with risks and should only be attempted if you’re comfortable with potentially voiding your warranty and dealing with any issues that may arise. Always ensure that you understand the steps involved and the potential risks before modifying your device.
