[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] narta:
I enjoy my note.

But with those specs, I 'd rather go the Gnex + Nexus7 route. Google experience devices are a win win situation for anyone that doesn't need to be on the bleeding edge.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] willstay:
The only deciding factor for me would be slightly bigger screen size. And if it goes with 16:9 ratio with 5.5", it doesn't increase acutal screen area. So not much interested. Will wait for GSNote 3.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ipguy:
Come on guys, quad core and NFC alone is worth the upgrade!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] karlodav:
Sad... i dont like those specs ..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] narta:
NFC is not that popular and Mali-400MP4 not that bleeding edge.

Gimme Exynos 5 Dual with ARM15 and a Mali-604 and I am game :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Spo0f:
Same screen resolution and same RAM amount == not worthy upgrade
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] emprize:
if no 4g, not my cup of tea
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] don2012:
Need nfc .......
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Akiainavas:
With such specs i don't see any reason to upgrade from Note to Note II... doesn't even ship with Jelly Bean ( sic! ). Great "one-year-later" upgrade for me.

But hey, who knows what will it be after all, let's wait and see.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dawolverune:
we want exynos 5!!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] don2012:
F....this... I will buy note 3 .....cause its not worth upgrading
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sujal:
I think we all are forgetting one important aspect of the Note, the thing that sets it apart from the crowd, the S Pen. I can't think of what changes the S Pen may go through, it's gonna be one big reason for me to upgrade.

If the "Next Galaxy" has the following things, I am getting it:

1. Better S Pen, but am not sure what to expect,

2. A15 Dual Core (not gonna happen) so think it's gonna be the same processor as S3,

3. Better and bigger (5.5 inch) screen and trust me, I don't give a fcuk as long as it looks good and better than the current screen,

4. Better battery life,

5. Slimmer, and

6. Jellybean.

Bonus would be 1.5 or even 2gigs of RAM!

Let's see what happens..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kersh:
ehhh no, the NFC is not useful in any country at the moment, maybe in 2 or 3 years, and the quad core is not a great change, it is faster yes, but no so much.

I will not spend 600€ again for that 2 minimal changes, I will only upgrade if they put 2gb of ram and maintain the 16.10 aspect ratio
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bidboy:
Who gives a f**k about benchmarks for Note 2. Samsung wants to get their ass in gear & sort out the problems with Note 1 first.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PoisonWolf:
I want DDR3 ram. No point having more RAM if the ram is ddr2 in my opinion.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sprintuser1977:
Now I'm kinda glad I got my nexus 7. And now that I got it making calls its like the perfect "phone" for me :)

From the Note to Nexus 7
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] emprize:
What for? I dont think the cpu can full use the ddr3
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Kangal:
How can you say you want a better S PEN without knowing what "better" really is.

Sounds like you just want to buy in for the marketing ; )

I think Quadcore + JellyBean are upgrades, but not so much.

I mean we've got the fastest dualcore and latest 4.0.4 ...I think they perform just as exceptional.

I personally don't want a bigger phone. The size is ideal, I need it to fit into my pockets and my XL hand. If anything they should make it less wide, and utilize the wasted space on the bezel.

Better battery life can come from bigger battery or better battery management.

Personally I want better battery management, because its a software solution which can be used for the NOTE 1 and actually any other phone. The 2500mAh battery is huge when you think about it. Time to solve the other part of the equation... effeciency.

Slimmer... definitely. They can easily shave off another 1mm. Though they should do so without skimping on the battery size, or making the device any wider.

Again, seems like A15 is not ready yet. This is not because the technology isn't here yet... it is, in-fact A15 devices are about 6 years old now. What it is, is the machines that make the machines... the SoC creators haven't been fully made, tested, and become economically viable for large scale production. But I think its in process, and I think the first chip should be the OMAP 5xxx before the end of this year.

The A15 will be a generation leap ahead of A9 architecture. Much like the leap from A11 to Cortex A8. And similar to A8 to A9. The only problem is the only company that will make something useful out of A15's capabilities is Apple. The next iPad/iPhone will have even-more sophisticated software to put the chip through its paces. Microsoft is closed source, can't do anything with it, especially on Windows 8RT. Android is very very unoptimized in its current condition, I expect powerful devices with A15 SoC that don't make any use of it.... like the Tegra3 in the HoX.

I'm actually excited on what Linux Kernel v3.5 will bring to the table, and what changes they'll make when A15 becomes widespread. I think desktop/distro linux (aka Ubuntu) could be interesting on A15, but they've sort of looking at different approaches. I had hoped the openSUSE team would accomplish something noteworthy with their ARM-port... but the only ones that are doing something interesting seems to be the guys in the Mer project. I kind of predicted this situation 3 years ago, and I had high hopes for MeeGo which was really destroyed from the inside-out.

I guess, I'll have to wait another 1.5years for when Android matures and starts taking advantage of dual-core process architecture and faster processing at low voltages. But who knows what architecture will be available, where Linux would be headed, and how the ecosystem/markets have shifted.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Braxos:
Quad cores! Moar ram! Bigger screen! And better battery lolz get real till they come up with a improved battery all those aren't going to happened because battery life sets large limitations

Sleep of the cores when are not used so why to have Moar to sleep them? Cba to explain the sleep-wake issue.

Moar ram without a cpu / gpu to support it what for it isn't windows!

Bigger screen with low brightness to save battery, crappie black or black climbing or resolution isn't supported from apps!

Just remember N7000 with GB and the limitation it had/has. Aka dual core and gpu hardware acceleration on GB Firmwares.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ipguy:
Horses for courses
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chich-note:
I agree..

4G is the key seller for me. No 4g no upgrade for me!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Aitch:
How can this be done?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] langas:
Sorry, but YES phone would take profit of this speed increase. Microprocecessor is incredibly faster than the RAM... This speed increase is going to be very noticeable...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Japanezedann:
Hi, I was just wondering if there was some developer app or trick to optimize the app icons on Jelly Bean to HD, instead of having them all blurry ? I used to have an iPod 4th Gen and there was an app in Cydia that would optimize the app icon to retina display, it was called

iretiner

>_> IS there a way to do this on Android ? No, I'm not an Apple Sheep, don't worry, I just had this thought flying through my head and I had to ask it since I kept searching and couldn't find anything about it, so here I am o.o Thanks for your replies !

[Yup, I'm an XDA noob, don't judge me]
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xLexi:
Icons in Android are automatically scaled after what display you're on by the OS. It will automatically seek out the one that's closest to your resolution out of 5 categories, LDPI (Low) MDPI (Medium) HDPI (High) XHDPI (Extra high). Unless the maker of the app has provided a high res version, (XHDPI would be "HD") there is no way. You cant magcally make a picture better, despite what CSI wants you to think.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Japanezedann:
Oh, well thank you for informing me, I have now learned something new. It's disappointing that icons can't be enhanced or optimized like in iOS, but thank you anyway :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gagdude:
Actually. iRetiner REPLACES the app icon with a larger one, given its available (jailbreak required).

Android is smart enough to take the best suited icon and use it, given the developer made an icon of that size (without rooting).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Japanezedann:
Is it possible to get the icon from the app once downloaded, enlarge it with photo editing software, and replace it ? It's just irritating that the app gameplay is completely HD, but the icon is not.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gagdude:
That actually depends on the launcher, some launchers allow you to change the app icon that is shown, I believe.

Not sure which ones though
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaredw444:
Go launcher let's you change app icons, thats what I use, don't know bout other launchers

plays by prison rules
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Japanezedann:
So I'm assuming that the stock Jelly Bean launcher won't allow you to change them, even if you use some kind of root explorer to replace the icon with a bigger one in the app'a folder ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaredw444:
I'm sure you could do it with root explorer, but you might run into issues where you'd need a computer or change something within a zip or apk, or some other sys stuff.

Kinda like changing LCD density, I make mine lower and have to use a phone.apk from another phone, if I dont my phone force closes

plays by prison rules
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gagdude:
If you had the .apk file of the app, you could extract it, replace the icon, and rezip it back into a .apk. Then install it.

But Play doesn't give you the file, and it would be annoying to find the newest version of every app as it came out and extract, replace, rezip.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Japanezedann:
Doesn't the Play Store store the app apk's in /data/app/ or in /sdcard/mnt/ ?

System stuff such as what ? It seems simple enough to mess with the app apk's, what system stuff would need changing ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devwithzachary:
If you want to change the apps icon, take the apk file (which can be found in system/apps but this might be different on your phone just use a file browser with a search function to find it). decompile it using the apktools, change the icon to what you want then recompile and install :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Japanezedann:
What would be the required size for the Nexus 7 so they don't come out all blurry ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devwithzachary:
96x96 I do believe
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaKingof:
same goes for music files eh :)

[HD2 Android NAND Development] seaman2k:
thx man ...it is good to remember ginger from time to time:o
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tolma4:
Thanks! How about a Tmous version without ext partition, all in NAND?

sorry for my English.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] msavic123:
TMOUS version

I have eu hd2, so i made it like this.

You can make it easily:

in rom zip, copy everything from sd-ext to system, move sd-ext/app contents to system/app, then delete sd-ext.

delete system/etc/init.d/dtapp file

edit updater-script: find installing darktremor a2sd, delete whole part (between two ------------------- lines)

i think that's it.

If it boots and works ok, post link to it, and i will add it on first post.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] FCORivers:
first boot

what is the time for first boot??? i have waiting about 20 mins on htc black screen without anything happens.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] msavic123:
First boot

Something went wrong - either you did something wrong, or i don't know. I use clk, never tried magldr.

Anyway, this is thoroughly tested - boots fine, within 2-3 minutes (first time).

Because of a2sd+ installation, it will restart twice, then continue to boot.

Do everything again, make sure you did everything right - task29, clk, partition 130/5, recovery, then install rom.

Please report what happened.

Meanwhile i'll try magldr installation.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] msavic123:
Boot

I just tested magldr install.

That went fine, too (maybe even a little bit faster than clk).

So, i can confirm that installation works fine on both loaders.

Others please report about installation.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] msavic123:
Change partitioning

Use partition of 150/5.

Magldr seems to be more stable with it.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Rick_1995:
Looks nice, will certainly try it today evening :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] msavic123:
Please give feedback

Yeah, please do.

And please report if there are any problems, or if you have suggestions.

As i said before, this is the one and only rom i use everyday (i rarely flash new roms, and when i do, it's just of curiosity), so this is thoroughly tested, and on my end, everything works ok.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] FCORivers:
Sorry for not giving detailed info.

Tmous device

2.08hspl

2.15radio(I don't really remember,oops)

Magloader 1.13

Cwr 5.0.2.6

Partition 150/5

Sd ext2 2gigs/256swap

So I did a fresh install, task 29, installed magloader, flashed partitions as stated below, reformatted sd card (stock one, 16 gig class 2 Samsung), and then flashed your Rom through recovery, everything well at that moment.

Back on recovery I select the "reboot/restart" option (1rst option on recovery main menu, can't remember exact words), then the phone shuts down and restarts. Splashscreen, Magloader screen shows up to the gogogo, HTC bootscreen appears and then nothing happens for as long as the battery lasts. No reboots, nothing else, tried 3 times from the beginning, all the process, and never booted.

Maybe there is something wrong with my layout or procedure, so if you can point out what's wrong I would be eager to try this Rom.

Thanks for the reply.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] msavic123:
Boot

I do all that same things, in that order. I also have class2 16gb card. But my device is EU model, not TMOUS. I don't have problems. One difference, though i don't think it makes any difference - i use sd-ext partition 1gb. I really can't help you now, as i have no problem booting.

Surely, some changes need to be made for TMOUS model, but i don't know what.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] FCORivers:
Thanks again, the only reason I use 2gigs sd ext part is cause on original Rom dev asked for a 1.5gig part so I always try to have some extra space just in case, :p, ok, so I'll try downloading Rom again and see, maybe that's the difference.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] msavic123:
Either that (not likely), or this rom will not work on tmous hd2.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tolma4:
It work on tmous. I do everything you post to do NAND version.System 350 mb. It boot, but I have not data at all. No wi-fi, no 3g... I don't know what wrong...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] msavic123:
Mobile data

I have none of those problems. I tried magldr And Clk, mobile data works.

First thing to try is you need bigger partition. Make 400 partition and try again. if there are still poroblems, try even bigger. 350mb isn't enough.

Please report
[HD2 Android NAND Development] abumaha:
new linko
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tolma4:
400 mb system.ROM boot again,such as 350 system.... Wi-fi don't connect,try but no connection. And no 3g at all.I try delete apn and create new,but no success. Then flash arkat tmous vers, 3g work at start and no problem with wi-fi.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] msavic123:
Do not use on TMOUS HD2

Well, i can't fix errors i can't reproduce, on hardware i don't have.

If you have TMOUS hd2, use some other rom.

I made this only for eu hd2 anyway.

If someone wants to convert my rom to tmous, please do it, post link, and i will gladly publish it on 1st post.

Untill then, please DO NOT post about errors you have if you installed this on TMOUS HD2.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tolma4:
Thank you for your answers ... It's too long to create a ext partition for EU version... Stay on the version of Arcat ROM. Thank you for your work. Sorry for my English.

Yes it force closes when you try to attach.

I never would have find the problem, i never use mms, only text :)

Here is original mms.apk.

Close thread

I sold hd2, i liked it, but it had to go :)

So, fortunately, i will not bother with tweaking my device. I settled with nice xperia mini, which just works :)

I will not improve this rom any more, and whoever thinks it's a good base for his rom, use it, you have my full permission to use anything from it (truth be told, it's really compilation of other peoples work) :)

It was fun while it lasted. Cheers!
[Bada Software and Hacking General] mijoma:
As some of you might have experienced, there are situations when the phone gets into the "locked" state on power up. By "locked" I mean that it request some password you have probably never established by yourself.

I've already seen some posts on several sites from people asking about that password and personally called Samsung support to ask about it.

It seems that happens in several situations. One of tjen is a phone with a SIM lock enabled, but I've also noticed that it generally is a problem on phones that have Exchange synchronization enabled and are using phone password. You might have entered the password or SIM unlock code incorrectly several times, but it seems that might not necessarily be required. It JUST happens.

The password prompt is pretty brief and does not constitute for anything you might have entered by yourself. Samsung support says the default password is 00000000. Well, if your phone ends up in the locked state. It is probably not the password you will be looking for.

The solution is flashing your phone, but it results in data loss.

The other way is entering the password (called Freeze Password) generated by the tool in this thred. The password is unique to your particular phone and consists of 8 digits.

After entering them you may be asked for your current Phone Password. Although you might have established that while using your phone, you need to enter 00000000 then. That being done, you can choose new Phone Password that has to be different from previous one. Your data should stay intact.

It happened to me twice already while using Wave and I managed to address the problem having the FLOCK installed. You may try it for yourself.

Is anyone using Custom Roms & Kernels yet?

The feeling of the stock ROM seems good enough for me at the moment.

(I'm guessing once i Root my replacement unit, I can uninstall the crapware to improve the performance more)

So, If anyone is using Custom ROM'S do you notice much difference between it and stock?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themassofthesun:
I'm using the KRAKD ROM and I'm glad I unlocked /rooted now just so I won't lose data later.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themassofthesun:

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] publicanimal:
The Google Play store now gives the option of renting or purchasing many movies and TV shows in HD as well as SD versions. I recently bought the Nexus 7 so I've been slowly beefing up my library by buying some HD movies. The problem is that when I play them on my Xoom, it plays the SD version regardless of whether or not I paid for the HD version.

Has anyone else experienced this? It certainly seems like the Xoom should be capable of handling HD content.

I should state for the record that I am rooted and running the latest Team Eos Jellybean nightly, though I don't know if that could be a contributing factor to this issue or not.
