[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] teseme:
Last Android update this phone is going to get is Adroid 4.0. Android 5.0 will be out in 3-4 months. Samsung is not in business to produce any software support for these phones, unlike Apple. After 6 months Note is not going to get any android updates, like first Galaxy Nexus.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] GeneralBobo:
I kinda have a problem? :)

I have always bought the best phone on the market at the time. Faster, bigger, better...

But the problem is, the screen cannot / should not get any bigger. And also I cannot buy a phone with a smaller screen... - not sure if you understand that? :)

The note won't last 5 years! - 2 at the most! :) but I can't imagine what will replace it?

Maybe a phone with a built in projector and/or 3d capable screen? :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Towserspvm2000:
My HD2 is two and a half years old, and still flies on a custom rom. It's better than 90% of the phones on the market today.

What I find strange is why people want to change phones every "5 months"...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jeromepearce:
+1 for Expensive Hobbies

I have too. My last phone, the Xperia Arc, lasted me only 6 months, mainly because I just outgrew it's patheticly small memory arrangement. My son now adores it!

I typically buy the top of the range phone, and use it for 12 months. Then I start looking for something better.

For laptops, as they take me an awfully long time to set up (one solid day, and then bits for at least a week), I tend to buy the top of the range (like $3k) and then wait three years before upgrading. That gives Microsoft a chance to make its latest OS work, typically!

But for me it is all tax deductible, as I write software for a living :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] randomnameftw:
Love this mammoth of a phone, but no. Lol, I upgrade devices every 6 months.

It's a miracle if I last a year with one.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DMax99:
the problem with the streak is it was not as popular and well known as the note
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] CorruptedSanity:
My mobiles usually last me 1.5 to 2 years.

Like said above, I'll skip a gen.

So gen 1, then gen 3, then gen 5 and so on.

I didnt buy the iPhone 4s (had an Iphone4) nor did I buy the iPad 2 (have an ipad 1).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sferrariba:
Its all a question of wether they come out with a better spen device. Like my defy, I will keep it as long as there's no better water proof phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] anjath:
my doubt is how long will the phone last? is the note durable for at least 4 years with proper care? i buy with the intention of not changing for 4 or 5 years... 2003 bought my first symbian Nokia and then another in 2007. this is my first Android and Samsung.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DPMAce:
I'll also wait about 1.5 to 2 years. I guess quad core is not a good enough reason to upgrade. In 2 years there should be 8 cores lmao.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] I Am Marino:
I'm hoping my Rezound will last 18 months.

Sent from my ADR6425LVW
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] willstay:
They usually last 2 years with me. But S2 lasted only 4 months when Note was released. There should be substantial new tech for me to upgrade before 2 years. One thing for sure, phones with screen sizes less than 5" don't count.

Sent from GNote.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zonkkk:
I have had my HTC desire for 2 years and now moved to the Note and expect to have it for another 2... I usually change phones when the contract is up and it's working quite nicely for me. I have paid for the Desire £400 over 2 years (with 100mins unlimited texts and 3GB internet allowance) and now paying £21.5/month for 2 years with no upfront cost for the Note.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Aspire:
Chainfire 3D is basically an intermediary OpenGL driver.

It acts as an intermediator between your GPU and applications. You can control your GPU using chainfire 3d and thus can boost your gaming experience.

For more details you can check out it's original thread

Pros

Allows you to tweak your device’s OpenGL drivers for optimal performance!

Allows for the downscaling of textures to increase frame rate!

Allows for the unpacking of textures to increase image quality!

Night mode to conserve on battery life!

Customization of performance tweaks per application in pro version!

Optional plugins for pro version for increased functionality!

Cons

Overall gripe about Android not the app; Android devices are notorious for battery drain, both the need for this type of app and visual sacrifices for the sake of performance & battery life takes a chip at the platform

Sometimes decreasing textures provides noticeably worse image quality.

No graphical appeal to application’s interface.

Not supported on all devices.

Chainfire 3D Installation

Download and install Chainfire 3D from Android Market

Run Chainfire 3D

Select & install CF3D Driver using the first option. Don't select CWM method!!

The phone will now reboot.

Start Chainfire 3D and customize the Default OpenGL Settings according to your needs.

Plugins

AFAIK, Chainfire 3D has the following plugins:

Qualcomm

Nvidia

PowerVR

Plugin Installation

Download your desired plugin.

Copy it to your sdcard. (root directory is preferred.)

Choose install plugins/shaders. The app will search the sdcard for the plugins.

When search is complete, select the zip file you want and click install.

Click Fix Market Settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Aspire:
In the short time i have spent working with this app, i would recommend the following settings:

Install Qualcomm plugin.

Enable "Reduce Texture Quality"

Enable "Hide CF3D ID"

Enable "Disable MapBuffer emu"

But I've only tested this on my galaxy fit running RazoDroid v1.0 (801Mhz) by running Assasin's Creed & Quadrant Advanced Benchmark.

Gonna post more later.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
I wouldn't suggest trying it.

I switched to it a while ago from Passion, after a day i went back.

It felt laggy, and not the normal lag but it stuck at one screen for atleast 30 seconds and then resumed what i wanted to do. It is also not up-to-date with the new bug fixes etc neo has made on Euphoria and Passion.

Try Euphoria or Passion, those are the best. I'm on Euphoria right now.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lapdog101:
" a Best Rom " question is too subjective. A lot of users love passion, but my device was virtually unusable on the 10 builds i tried. Docs master v2 was solid and stable. Zenwich is a cut above anything else imo. But like i said, it is subjective. Flash them and see what works for you. You have die hards that will swear by what they are on now, so judge for yourself. Also gps is a non issue for me. I am one of the lucky ones..my Gps always works

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djn10city:
So I thought this might have been just me, or maybe just the ROM I was using but it appears to be more widespread than that. I've confirmed this on GummyNex, CM9 Kang (winner00), and AOKP. I've also confirmed this on my buddies GNex.

With the phone app open and looking at Recent Calls. Lock the screen, then unlock, the swipe the screen over to the dialer and attempt to dial numbers and in some instances it lags heavily. Other times it freezes completely and asks to Wait/Report/Close.

Anyone else having these issues? Any known fixes?

I mean, I could hit home, then re-open the dialer, but shoooooot.

Any help is appreciated.

I can't seem to replicate this bug on my gnex. Tried several times, but i can't get it to lag at all.

What Android version are you running? I'm on 4.0.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gokpog:
Bugless Beast ROM and no problem at all.

By any chance do these ROMs all have the modified dialer with T9 support? Than it's most likely a bug in the modified dialer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djn10city:
4.0.3 in each instance

Yes, all of them.

Running AOKP b23 now...

Turned off T9 in settings, rebooted. Works perfectly now with no delays. Thanks for the quick response and fix, it was driving me crazy.

I really like that functionality so I hope a remedy is released soon.

Cheers!

Thank you for making and sharing, i am going to try tomorrow and tell you,
[Nook Touch Android Development] ChunC:
Improvements

First of all, thank you for creating this cool launch screen. I love the simplicity of it. Here are is brief list of improvement that you can perhaps easily implement.

-When on the homescreen with the covers of all the books, I am not sure if I am suppose to scroll down or to the right to view the rest of my books.

-When on the page with the details from the book, there is no back button to take you back to the homescreen. I end up using the button savior back button.

-The circle gesture that takes you to the apps does not feel very responsive to me.

Anyhow, great job. Can't wait to see how you plan on improving it
[Nook Touch Android Development] Googie2149:
OW MY EYES

I installed this, and everything just kept flashing. GO Locker and GO Launcher are both broken, and the only way I could fix it was by getting into ADW and closing the task. Did I install it incorrectly? I put it onto an SD card and used ES File Manager to install it.
[Nook Touch Android Development] NFHimself:
Hi,

Thanks for the feedback.

You swipe left to go to the previous page of books. You swipe right to go to the next page of books, assuming you have more than 6 books. :) Personally, I know what books I have on the device so it's not a problem knowing how many are left to see for me.

The back button should be on top of the screen in the middle, not sure why it wouldn't be there on yours. I will give it a think, maybe remove the scroll control in the book description and just use gesture detection and scroll the text via code.

Responsiveness and speed will likely improve over time, I am using the gesture library, maybe there are some optimizations there I can do.

Cheers!
[Nook Touch Android Development] NFHimself:
Hi,

Noted, so it doesn't work with GO Lancher/Locker. Never tried GO stuff, so that wasn't tested. It was tested with ADW and relaunch, and I had all the rest of your typical touch nooter install there without problems, android market, etc.

I have run it with Home.apk renamed to Home.apk.bak and that works fine as well.

As for your other question, if it is installed it is installed, there are no configurations to modify, however you get it there it should be fine.

Cheers!
[Nook Touch Android Development] brendan10211:
WANT

Noted that it does not work with go, will have to get rid of that first.

From the screenshots, I can already tell you put time into polishing! Good job!
[Nook Touch Android Development] Googie2149:
I'll try it again without the GO software, but it was making everything just keep flashing, like the lock screen.
[Nook Touch Android Development] tazzix:
@NFHimself, any plans for taking this to github? It is very close to what I always wanted but I was also looking for:

- some kind of usage of Calibre data

- library filtering for series, highly rated, etc.

- tracking of books that are clicked to maintain sort of recent read filter

- sorting options by rating, series, and other Calibre properties

- option to display 6 or 12 (smaller) book covers.

I hope it already does use intents for selecting a different epub reader for those who have no defaults and multiple ones installed.

I know its a long list, and I have some Android experience. I am sure there would be other developers here so a combined effort might help.
[Nook Touch Android Development] AgentSlash:
Screenshots looks good, but on the Nook - only flashing screen like Googie2149 said
[Nook Touch Android Development] NFHimself:
Hi,

I use Calibre as well, I just connect via adb and calibre picks up the nook and I copy books over and it converts on the fly, cool program. Using Calibre data is an idea worth looking into, if I can fit it into the theme of no preferences, no extra buttons or config. There are plenty of those kind of home apps already. Relaunch for one is great, just missing a graphical front end, I was going to mod that, but decided that I didn't really need so much stuff and I wanted to learn more android API.

I did up the app using pretty straight forward epub standards (note the plural), it works with most epubs I have run across, not sure if looking for extra xml is a good functionality vs performance tradeoff. I haven't been using EPubBrowser for very long myself, so when I add more books and find something annoying I will probably make changes to fix it. :) I want to keep things simple, if I need a preferences menu, it is already going the wrong way.

I am not specifying any class, just a regular launch this epub file intent, so it should work with any reader. I like the stock reader myself, cool reader seems to dislike some epubs I have above a certain size, and I didn't want to deal with it.

I may github it, I am kinda time limited these days.

Cheers!
[Nook Touch Android Development] NFHimself:
Hi,

More details are needed to figure that out. What device do you have? What do you have installed on it?

Cheers!
[Nook Touch Android Development] Googie2149:
I just wiped then manually rooted my Nook, and this works now. Although I'm having some trouble with getting to the apps page after the first time I did it. Could you possible change how you get to the apps page? Maybe change it so you have to click the menu key to get to apps.

Edit: Now that I've added my books, it shows me two books, one empty, and another book. Now it just flashes and removes/re-adds the last book. :/

Edit 2: I found that there are a few books that just don't like this launcher and cause the entire Nook to start flashing. I've been adding my books one by one to see which work and which don't and I'll try and find similarities between those that don't.
[Nook Touch Android Development] ace7196:
Great launcher replacement.

Running right now, but after the second page, I get sent back to the first, regardless of left-to-right or right-to-left swiping. Ideas?

Also, any chance for a page up/down use for scrolling through books?

I took a quick vid. It looks like when I swipe again from R to L, it tries to redraw the next books, but gets confused?

http://youtu.be/K1ukWFK0syg
[Nook Touch Android Development] NFHimself:
Hi,

I'm busy painting the baby's room, but it looks like it is resetting, perhaps one of your books is crashing the app and it is being relaunched as the home screen. Or could be some other bug, how many books are involved, if you remove one or add one, does it go away?

If someone could open the e-pub (it's a zip file) that causes the error and paste the contents of the .odf file (it's an xml file) , that would help.

Cheers!
[Nook Touch Android Development] ace7196:
I've gone through and removed / added ebooks, and still the same problem.
[Nook Touch Android Development] NFHimself:
Sorry, been kinda busy.

I need to be able to see the bug on my end to work on it. Maybe I've been lucky with the book selections I have made or converting using Calibre has set them all to have the same kind of format, vs the variety you might see in the wild from multiple sources.

Does the error happen with no books?

What happens when you have just one book?

How many books do you have on your nook? (If it's something like 1000 then yeah, maybe you'd have issues, no checks in the code for being out of memory.)

What firmware are you using?

Are there any hardware differences? (Can't imagine that being a problem, but I am using a NST, not the original Nook.)

What can I do to reproduce this error on my end? What are the steps?

Cheers!
[Nook Touch Android Development] Googie2149:
For me, it doesn't matter how many books I have, it's just a few specific books that crash, independent of the other books in my library, and some books are more severe than others (one makes the entire Nook start flashing (all software), others make only this app flash).
