Nice one to try is Chameleon it is in beta but looks promising, Apex or Nova are good too.

I am using... SPB Shell 3D

I forgot I bought this launcher a long time ago because my Galaxy phone got detroyed as i was coming off contract so i grabbed an iphone4s- :silly:

I loaded it up about 4 days ago and i can confirm it works great. No lag, no issues. The price is a little steep but i feel it was worth it. Comes with plenty of widgets and you can use any other widgets. The only issue found so far is you can not use a live wallpaper with it. But no big deal as i dont use them much.

Might not be for everyone because of cost$$ but it sure looks nice on the 10.1 note and is a head turner out in public.

Touchwiz still works with it as well ( a plus for some and neg for others) I have no issue with TW..

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barsky:
Hmm. Maybe there is something wrong in my saved config for nova. Think I will try again without a restore from titanium...otherwise I suppose I will try a wipe to defaults. BTW, for me this happened with the 4.0.4 the Note came with as well as the update from the other day. Odd
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barsky:
So, this wallpaper screen res problem is with any launcher than the stock and is annoying the crap out of me :)

To confirm, nobody else with the Note 10.1 has their wallpaper resolution reduced by Nova, Apex, whatever launcher...The wallpaper blows up to large, but can be messed with to get it to go to the right size, but doesn't last?

If not this unit is going back for an exchange. Too expensive a toy to be irritated by it :)

Thanks

Use the Picspeed HD Wallpapers app and use it to set the wallpaper. It solved the zooming of the wallpaper on all launchers.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seventwozero:
I am having this zooming issue as well. Gave the Picspeed app a go but it didn't seem to make much of a difference. I'm currently using Nova but Im about to give Apex a shot and see if I have the same troubles there.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okzahr:
No, everything remains intact. The S-pen is independent of the launcher. I've ever seen reports that you can use Samsungs widgets with other launchers, I have not confirmed this though.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hollywoodfrodo:
I had bought Chameleon through Kickstarter and couldn't wait to install it, but was extremely disappointed with the result. I use ADWEX on my S3 but wanted something more optimized for ICS and tablets. Decided to try Apex and absolutely love it. From being able to have quick buttons for Google Search and Voice Search/Commands in the top right corner of every screen to the customization of the bottom launch bar and the cool look of folders, it's just about perfect. I use one of the basic live wallpapers (northern lights) and it works fine for me with no issues.

Go launcher ex lol. I tried the recommended tablet launchers but i like go launcher too much xD. I tried the go launcher tablet vrs but i couldnt transfer my paid themes and didnt have as much development in it ,so i just use glx and it looks nice. :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkwolfelite:
for those having wallpaper issues on home launchers can try this:

Free version does the same as paid. Paid version is just to support dev. No features are removed for free version.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegios:
but what about multi-window?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
Wouldn't that be independent of the launcher as it is a program feature...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegios:
dont know that's why I am asking ;) What if the launcher does not support multiwindow? Honestly I thought that TouchUI for GNote10.1 is a multiwindow enabled launcher and that apps have to be multiwindow enabled: so 2 conditions in my opinion apply.

Anyone with nova or apex or chameleon can confirm?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] makanimike:
Yes. Multiscreen works fine with apex.

I like using apex. I would really like to use the SCalendar widget. Anyway of unhiding it in apex?

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Echo237:
Hey,

I am gonna sell my Wildfire :crying: because of some issues it has had. Wherever i go they see the phone's UI and they say "huh ? why does it look like this ?" ...i could say its a theme or something but on boot i get CyanogenMod thing.

Is there a way i could get a Sense based ROM for Wildfire ? i searched the forums with little luck. Need a stable one.

OR OR OR !!! is there a theme or a MOD to get just the sense layout ? no widgets required.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lesicnik1:
Rempuzzle is a very stable Sense based ROM.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miniAndroidian:
Yes in my opinion Rempuzzle is the best Sense based rom but there's also DK Custom Froyo ROM i didn't tested it yet but it should be stable and fast aswell AND it's less themed than the actual Rempuzzle Rom. For a less themed Rempuzzle download version 2.40 ;)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .xxx.:
Rempuzzle is the best for now since it is still in development but dk rom also competes with it. But the only issue is that there wont be any further updates of dk rom. :/
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Echo237:
Thank you guys :) RemPuzzle is a very nice ROM :) Good to have Sense back. Except 1 thing...boot animation :what: ...which didn't matter, rest everything is close to perfect :)

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Echo237:
I don't get it...why do they think that if the phone or rooted or flashed the price should decrease ?! They most certainly don't know how much effort go in this...the most difficult thing is to convince yourself that the phone is going to be okay the first time you ever root :P
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lesicnik1:
They probably watched some YouTube videos and saw how the stock Sense UI looked there.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drewniany92:
There is many sense based roms (: rem puzzle, wild puzzle, joker droid, DK. Why don't you reflash it to stock rom, s-ON? (: then it'll be original sense (:
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Echo237:
umm...i dont know how to do that...

but mostly instead of going through all the trouble i'll just use the boot animation. but if you do know how to do do what you said could you paste a link or something ? would love to learn :)

You dont need to flash it.. You have to replace it with the one in /system/media, set permissions rw-r--r-- and change owner to root/root..

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Brad387:
Samsung has unveiled a new variant of the S-Pen, which comes bundled with all Note devices, called the BT S-Pen (BT standing for Bluetooth). It is, as far as I am aware, a regular S-Pen (albeit much larger for greater comfort) that connects to your Note device via Bluetooth and allows you to utilise it as a wireless-headset of sorts. Although bundled with pre-release test units of the Note 10.1 for journalists at their press conference, it simply utilises the regular technology of our Note 5.3 devices' S-Pens with Bluetooth to enable it to make and receive calls (meaning that it should work on the Note GT-N7000). Since one of the major complaints of the Note is the embarrassment of holding it up to your ear to make a phone call, I think this S-Pen is a fantastic accessory for the Note series. It can be charged via a Micro-USB port connected to the Note devices and apparently has 130 hours of standby time or 3 hours of talk time (not the best, but if you are like me and don't make too many calls that isn't a problem). Having been wanting a larger S-Pen to use around the house (the small one is fine out and about, but at home something larger would undeniably be more comfortable), this seems perfect. I shall be shelling out the cash for one as soon as it is available here in the UK, unless it is ridiculously priced. Who else likes the look of this?

Read the article here!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] andreww88:
Link?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Brad387:
Completely off-topic, but am I the only one finding the Note's community drastically dwindling? This is such a shame as, despite not having the best specification around in terms of raw power, the Note is still a very capable device and I think there are untapped opportunities for applications that would be useful when out of the house (hence, no good for a tablet which often are more reserved to home use and not a general pop to the store) but would not work on a regular phone's screen. In a way, I wish Samsung wasn't unveiling a Note 2 in a matter of days in Berlin. Since I am on contract and won't be able to upgrade till over a year, it's a shame to see the community here dwindling - and things will only be worse once the Note 2 is released.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] andreww88:
I don't think the community is dwindling. Jellybean development is doing awesome, its just young.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Brad387:
I added one to an article. It also includes a video of it being demoed on the AT&T 4G version of the Galaxy Note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Brad387:
Hopefully so. Since the S2 is apparently getting Jelly Bean, there is almost a definitive chance the Note will get Jelly Bean also! Let's just hope that Samsung finally fix the brick bug, which is a great cripple towards ROM development, eh?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] andreww88:
Okay, so this is pretty cool. But I think it is suppose to be MORE for the Note 10.1 than the phone Note because it's huge, that wouldn't be comfortable or practical at all for our phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Brad387:
It isn't that large and, for home use at least, it is still useful.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] andreww88:
Maybe for some people....but I won't be buying it.

Weird. I think I would rather be seen talking into a slightly large phone than a pen.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] snoopycr:
I don't know how practical the Bluetooth pen will be. If your talking to someone with the pen, it's going to be very hard to use it to take notes or whatever.

And one handed operation on the note 5" our 10.1" wrote holding the pen to your ear is going to be impossible to do.

I guess it's only practical if you don't want to pull out the note from your pocket.

I still think head sets or earpiece are the way to go for hands free talking
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] golfinggino:
sounds cool, but does anyone actually use the s=pen that comes with the phone ? when i was using my note as my full time phone ( dont really use it anymore ) i think i used the pen for the first 2 days and haven't pulled it out in at least 6 months
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tyrol:
Hello, I'm running RR 2.6.1 with Dorimanx's latest kernel and I've run into a huge problem.

I'm not sure what the trigger is but I think it could be updating the SuperSU app, or it could just be that I'm super unlucky. In any case, I really really hope someone will be able to help me here.

I was facing random freezes and SODs on the kernel but I was in the midst of tweaking my settings to see if I could fix it. I updated the SuperSU app on the bus on the way home, went home & tried to power my phone on but it wouldn't work so I force-restarted by holding down the power button. When it rebooted, I had all sorts of FCs so I went to CWM Recovery & cleared cache & dalvik & fixed permissions. Nothing worked. Here's what I've tried so far:

- reflashing the kernel

- reflashing the ROM

- re-rooting via Odin

- flashing another kernel (I tried fluxi but it was stuck at the animation screen & wouldn't boot)

- Googled for how to fix process.acore and Gapps FCs, tried to clear all the Google-related apps' data but they wouldn't clear

- trying to delete the apparent offending files from /data/data/... via adb and Android Explorer but it didn't work, kept saying it was read-only or something, even though I followed all the instructions to SU and mount as RW

By this time, exTweaks didn't recognise the kernel as compatible, Whatsapp and TB FC'd, just about everything FC'd.

I went into CWM Recovery to try and make a Nandroid but it said "Error while making a backup of /data".

I am truly at my wits' end. My phone wouldn't even let me access it after the right passcode was input. At this point, I just want to go in and backup my Whatsapp and relevant TB apps.

Please, if anyone is able to help me, PM me or something. I'm on Skype if you're so kind as to be willing to walk me through anything you think may help.

Thank you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Karpfenhai:
Flash a clean ROM, wipe cache and dalvik, do a factory reset and start from scratch.

Multiple fc can be caused due to several reasons like:

-wrong phone.apk

-wrong framework

-wrong ROM

-too much undervolt

Sorry for telling but my first sentence might be your fastest approach.

Tapatalked from my Samsung GT9100
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
Try the following:

-Download this: Ultimate kernel cleaning script

-Reboot to CWM recovery

-Flash Ultimate kernel cleaning script

-Under kernel specific option, Reset extweaks settings

-format /system (under Mount and storage)

-Flash ROM (RR 2.61)

-Flash Gapps

-wipe cache partion

-wipe dalvik cache (under advanced)

-fix permissions (under advanced)

-Reboot your phone

My above steps will not wipe your and should definitely fix your problem

good luck
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tyrol:
Thank you both for your suggestions!

Unfortunately, I didn't get to try them but I'll definitely be checking this again if (touch wood) this happens again. Hopefully it'll be useful to someone else facing similar issues, I know I couldn't find clear answers on what to do.

@jokesy If the /data partition is somehow stuck at read-only, I'm not sure formatting /system will help. I could be wrong, I apologise if I sound ungrateful ('cause I do appreciate your help) but wouldn't reflashing a ROM kind of overwrite the existing /system files already?

I'm not aware of the details and technicalities of what exactly happens during a ROM flash but according to the AROMA installer, it seems like /system is wiped first.

What I did

Gave up on backing up apps & WhatsApp through the normal ways, most of my TB apps are backed up daily anyway, just lost some data like that for Sleepbot.

Pulled WhatsApp database files from /data/data/com.whatsapp via ADB, restored the previous day's Nandroid backup & copied the database files to the relevant directory. I guess it may seem minor, but as everything was melting down on my phone, I kept getting messages from friends about project work in school & other stuff that I couldn't read so I really wanted to not lose all the new messages that had come in.

Restoring my Nandroid (thank God I backup daily) fixed everything, fortunately, but there are little quirks I'm still ironing out. Eg. My Godville app can't seem to connect to the main server & retrieve details of my character despite clearing data, uninstalling & reinstalling. Not too sure why.. :/

Ididn't know you were using aroma installer though, but formatting /system has nothing to ago with /data sms vice versa

I recently had a very similar problem. The only way I could resolve it was to also format /data during the usual full wipe re-install
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tyrol:
Tough luck man. I don't know why the data corrupts spontaneously, it happened once to me when I was playing Plague, everything started FC-ing all of a sudden while I was in-game. Bizarre. Didn't want to do a full wipe so I just restored the /data partition from my latest Nandroid.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dvandam:
They don't allow "Which Rom is best?" Threads here on XDA. That's why people aren't being very "helpful."

The only advice I can give is to just try different ROMS and see which suits you best. Also, not every phone responds the same to every ROM. It's literally impossible to give a Pros/Cons of every ROM. It also comes down to personal preference. If you want a good starting point I'd go with the Sky ICS roms. If you don't want touchwiz then you may as well go with AOKP or CM9.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Mike:
There really isn't a bad rom out there these days. By the sounds of it you are looking for stability and don't have time to switch all the time so you may want to steer cleer of jellybean for now as some kinks are yet to be ironed out. Look at the various roms, decide if you want TW or AOSP and go from there.

There is also a no "best" policy as we don't want to diminish anyone's work. Devs make roms for free and work very hard to give us the latest and greatest. We don't want to say x is better than y or vice versa. Every dev and user brings something to the community. Someones improvements may be greater than anothers but they are merely building blocks for what is yet to come. The community grows as a whole, encompassing everyone's improvements as we strive to make the Skyrocket all it can be
