NX1 Android & Cable Connection Questions

I'm still an avid NX1 user for photos but I have a video application I may want to test but would need a reliable remote control option.

#1, Has anyone ever found a remote shutter release cable that allowed for video start/stop of the NX1? I have a shutter release [through USB] that works fine for still captures but will not start/stop video record

#2, I know Samsung abandoned all [Samsung Camera Manager] app support for NX1 [and presumably other NX cameras] many years ago. I have played around with Samsung Camera Manager app on a 5.1.1 Android tablet and I know the app works okay (it's a wonky app but is what it is) but I was wondering if I ended up getting a newer Android phone (smaller, cheap prepaid phone) to use strictly as a remote control, does the available Samsung Camera Manager app still work as designed in these newer Android/hardware devices?

Thanks
