[Galaxy Note II General] krazy_about_technology:
[MENTION=3085176]kachrukamble[/MENTION] Hangouts does provides online status of people. The contacts that are online are displayed in vivid, rich colors and those who are offline are displayed as greyish. But its very subtle, it should be something that catches eye instantly. Also, the contact name sorting is alphabetical, it should be by online status to be useful.

I also don't like the idea of showing all my phonebook contacts there. Only google talk contacts should be shown, or at least the two should be separated somehow. Contact list is a mess right now.

One more feature I find missing is lack of Status and Status messages (Available, Busy, Invisible etc).

Apart from these issues, the app looks and feels very good. Very nice change.

[Galaxy Note II General] jujuburi:
That's sad. But as I am a nitpicker, yet I liked it. There was no bad battery backup on my side, never. I hope you wiped with Aroma while installing it.

You can try any other ROM, like Wanamlite as Karchu said, or Phoenix, or Omega or anything else, but I can guarantee that you will come back to ARHD, because after using it everything else will seem like a bicycle (no offense to any dev). I have tried them all, and I know. But I suggest you try and see for yourself.

This is a very very bad thing though you know, it's like a loop, going from this ROM to another, and you can never be satisfied, flash-o-holic we say, lol. Bad thing.
[Galaxy Note II General] emze:
Haha. Flashaholic you say? I say, I've been there, done that.

I used to flash 2 ROMs a day on s2. I would really like to try aosp. But there would be no point in having a note. The play store pen apps suck. It would be just another s3 with a larger screen and a pen.
[Galaxy Note II General] tuxonhtc:
Try Project AOSP, totally AOSP in look and feel, it's got the messaging and contacts app, etc. I've been on it for ages, finally had to switch for the floating multiwindows on X Note. Still kinda miss it.

[Galaxy Note II General] haxor:
Guys i really confused regarding to buy new mobile i have considered Note 2 And Nexus 4 want to discuss some point here.

1. Note 2 having bigger battery over nexus so definitely will get more juice.

2. Note 2 Having S-Pen feature which is quite innovative Nexus don't have one

3. Note 2 having Multi - Windows which is also quite good TW feature.

4. I can flash AOSP rom Into Note 2 though not stable like nexus but i can't flash TW rom in nexus as Samsung not released source code :confused: Please help me out to clear my doubt !
[Galaxy Note II General] jujuburi:
You have to decide based on your preferences. The first 3 points are totally right, but I personally have not used the Multi-window feature much. And number 4 is irrelevant to me, AOSP is all hype imo, obviously your taste could differ, that's normal. But overall the N4 will be snappier than the N2, as it's running on Krait, a lovely CPU architecture. Now what you need? You need a small sized device which is an excellent performer, and you don't need S Pen, better backup and an OLED display? Don't think and go for the Nexus 4. But if you use the S Pen a lot, like OLED display, need better battery backup and a big screen, then Note 2 is the way to go.

Atm I am little irritated with the size of the Note 2, but that makes up for lots of thing, the ones I mentioned above plus, better camera, TV out, more storage (SD card support) etc.
[Galaxy Note II General] haxor:
I am accepted that nexus is the developer mobile no one can beat it in dev support but i can't get TW feature in nexus like swipe to call and msg apart from it i can't make 3G video call over network in nexus. and most important thing is battery life in android is suck only note 2 having quite good battery backup and i never used s-pen before so don't know whether i will addict it or not :confused:
[Galaxy Note II General] xpress7:
Except for the size ( if you like some device smaller) I really suggest Note 2 over Nexus 4. I also ordered for Nexus 4 when it was released from ebay. But due to some supply problems from seller my order got cancelled. So I bought Note 2 straight ahead. But after using Note 2 for hours I felt really happy that I didn't buy Nexus 4.

Note 2 is way superior , either in battery, or in camera quality , or with storage options etc.. And if you can handle big size, you'll really enjoy Note 2 display. Watching movies and playing games is really good on Note 2. And you have lot of productivity options... :)
[Galaxy Note II General] kkapoorr:
The screen on the Nexus is better, but that's only for purists. :P

I'd suggest going with the Note 2.

Also why not the S4/One? If your budget permits?

[Galaxy Note II General] haxor:
Bro my budget is limited as i can only spend 32 K and that's my limit by the way what about battery backup in heavy use or normal use apart from it can i make 3G video call over network ? last one is air view gesture feature will land on note 2 ?
[Galaxy Note II General] kkapoorr:
Air view is already there with the S-Pen.

Battery backup is very very nice. Even with heavy usage.

I don't know about the video call over 3G thing. What app do you use?

Sent from my Note II
[Galaxy Note II General] SacGuru:
I think something which you have not considered is the expandable memory you get on the note 2. You can actually turn your internal storage to 64 GB using the mods present on xda for the note 2. For the N4, the only option of expansion you have is using a USB OTG, which of course is not a comfortable option.

S Pen is a very useful, handy feature, and you will love it. As for AOSP roms, you are right, we have AOSP, AOKP plus touchwiz here, while touchwiz will never port to the nexus series. You can try roms like PA on Note 2, the hybrid settings are really beautiful. But the fact is, you will not want to miss out on the SNote/SPen applications, and will therefore probably stick to touchwiz roms.

The only thing which should put you off a note 2 and in favor of a nexus 4 is the build and size difference. However, you would easily get used to Note 2's size within a couple of days once you start using it. Plus the advantages it gives you over the nexus device are numerous.

Hi can anybody help me find Franco kernel for n7100? Is there one in the first place? I am on root box ROM by the way..
[Galaxy Note II General] arunsankar:
Yes, Note 2 does support video call over 3G when Nexus 4 doesn't. Most of the gesture features available in S4 will land soon on Note 2 with the 4.2.2 update, that's for sure. S-Pen is something which gets addictive when you actually start using it. It was not a point which I considered before buying Note 2 but after actually playing around with the S-Pen features for a couple of hours, I really fell for it. Whether its taking meeting notes, partial screenshots S-Pen really rules it! I started believing now that I may feel handicapped without S-Pen on my next device :)
[Galaxy Note II General] tuxonhtc:
Yeah not really. There's generous amount of dev support for Note II, and hopefully will be for a long time. Obviously Nexus devices has the edge, but that doesn't mean it's so ahead that it's a dealbreaker or something. The best thing about Nexus is you'll get OTA updates for a long time. Dev support is excellent for Note II - plenty of touchwiz and AOSP roms here.

Don't know if it's corrupted or not, not I guess as I looked into the log file and it isn't saying failed or anything. MD5 check? Don't remember if I did that.

No I haven't placed it under root folder, I placed it at the folder where TWRP backups take place.

Btw I am having another weird issue now, I can't create my GMail account with Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync! It's keep saying 'Setup couldn't finish: Unable to connect to server'. Could anyone confirm that?
