[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] scourge18a:
Apex baby FTW

You can still always push your S pen and double tap for a note
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] saturnspike:
Apex, but it's not as smooth as it could be, and you can't use the stock Weather widget with it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] conflict0102:
I tried Apex launcher since I had it on my s2, but it's super choppy compared to the stock launcher so I switched back. Unless they optimize Apex launcher for jelly bean ill stock with stock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] projekt1:
+1. It feels the same as TW on GS2 with Gingerbread. I'm giving Go Launcher EX another shot (this time on GN2) because its features but I hate the toyish feel/icons and BS it loads as well.

Apex will be next.

Anyway to get the lock screen to look/act like AOSP? I dont mind the ripple effect but the look (TW) is :eek:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Sword Fish:
I'm using TW but have applied this MOD that allows you to have 5X5 rows and columns. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1990801
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ishmael2:
Nova largely because of it's backup of layouts which makes it much faster to setup new ROMs etc. Apex I know does the same thing and I don't really have a preference between the two. I had switched to Apex when they were the first to update to 4.1 source which made it smoother than Nova, but switched back after Nova updated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] k.babymamma:
I like ssLauncher (the original). It's in the play store. It has the most customizable home screen I've ever seen. No more restraining yourself to grids or default icons. It has a bit of a learning curve but so, so much you can do! Send me questions if you're curious & I'll try and answer them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ShadowVlican:
NOVA PRIME for me
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] lordpelvis:
I still use go launcher. My favorite of them all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] cbass:
Anybody else using Next? Beta 3 was just pushed out not too long ago.

I like SS as well, but I always got a distinct "unrefined" feel from it. I might swap back again, it certainly has some neat transitions (rush!)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] powerwagon:
Nova for me for sure once I learned it supported the s pen. I cannot believe how absolute smooth this phone is with this launcher running.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] d.cortez:
Apex for me... disabled all the fancy animations and it's running very smooth for me. also like the ability to hide the status bar, change the grid size and hide icons. Apex has worked best based on my desires. i prefer the minimalist approach to home screens. that being said, i'm always willing to try other launchers to see if they offer more/better features functionality. t
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] theraker007:
what do u mean supported the s-pen?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] joesnote2:
For those of you that want to stay with TW but want more icons on the home screen,have you tried circle launcher? I have it right now. I can keep the minimalist theme but I have about 22 icons on my home screen made up in a circle when I hit the launcher icon. You can blend the launcher icon into the color of your home screen so it can't really be seen. Just another option.

Old adw ex before the new ui improvements..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] UCLAKoolman:
Not sure if any other launchers do this, but I just discovered a gesture in Nova that in addition to its other features has secured its place as my #1 best launcher for this device.

If I swipe downwards anywhere on a homescreen it will open my notifications drawer. No longer to I have to strain my thumb to reach the top of the device. I can hold it one-handed, swipe down to open notifications, then swipe away the drawer without moving my hand.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] RojasTKD:
ADW EX does the same thing and is my preferred launcher.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ThaiM:
Just the stock for me. At least until something fully supports our Note 2's (multi-views, etc).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ArborRes:
The latest ADW EX launcher is the smoothest of all launchers on Note 2, with all kinds of options typically found in Apex, Nova, and other JB launchers. What was once an archaic launcher turned over a complete new leaf! Highly recommended!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] UCLAKoolman:
Can someone help me understand why ADW would be preferred over Nova? Just tried out ADW, and it didn't automatically restore my home screens like Nova did and the animations look choppier...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] borijess:
Ss launcher

Sent from the TermiNOTEr 2! ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ArborRes:
The animations and transitions are liquid smooth on my Note 2, using ADW EX launcher.

The backup and restore function works like the other launcher. Are you sure you are using the latest version?

Mine says 1.3.3.7, FYI.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] UCLAKoolman:
Yes I have the latest version of ADW EX. When I first launched Nova it imported the homescreen layout I was currently using on the Touchwiz launcher. It doesn't appear that ADW EX can do that (tapping Restore gives an error that "Backup file not found"). I was just curious if this was possible since I'm unsure if I want to take the time to rearrange my homescreens again, especially since the animations in ADW EX don't impress me much already (choppier than Nova) and the app drawer doesn't look as usable.

I was curious what other features about this launcher make it preferred over Nova for those who use it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] powerwagon:
Yea, I've tried adw myself...nowhere near as smooth as Nova for me...not even in the same ballpark.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] normaaaan:
There's a bunch of gestures that can be customized in the Nova Settings. For example, I have double-tap (without pressing on the SPen button) opening the full S-Note app, swipe up opening Google search, etc.

Getting back to the OP's question, I use Nova Prime, namely because:

- I can assign a swipe up action to each icon in the dock, e.g., I put a g-mail icon in the dock, so I can press the g-mail icon for g-mail (obviously), but also swipe up the g-mail icon and get Google+ (or whatever).

- can use other's icon packs

- widgets in the dock

- unread counts for g-mail, e-mail, and messaging icons (via a separately installed Nova plug-in).

Probably the others do these now, I don't know. I used to use ADW on Gingerbread on my Milestone, I liked it as well.

I don't know if multi-view will work ... whenever it is rolled out to Canadians :rolleyes:, I may have to change...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DeMi-GoD:
Nova launcher prime. It's perfection.

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00p:
Can an app access and create a specific folder in the Windows phone enviroment? I'm looking at building an audiobook player app and want to allow the user to drop these into an audiobook folder on the computer instead of mixing with the music folder. Could an app create, and could an app access a particular folder outside the default folders for media files, metadata, etc?
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickstewartroc:
From what I have been looking at in their api's and what not, there doesn't appear to be a way to make a folder that would show up when you plug in the phone. Now, what you might be able to do, is create a application folder, and be able to move the audio books into that folder. I believe because of the security Microsoft has put in place, there is currently not a way to access particular folders, unless your app made it, or it was a temp folder.

-Nick
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00p:
So it will require a workaround of another desktop app or online skydrive or other api access to get to the audiobook into my folder. I can't just have the user drop into an "Audiobook" folder as a folder the user creates on the hard drive. Bummer. I wish WP8 properly handled audiobook files and this wouldn't be such an issue.

My SD card reader died yesterday, so I can't use the camera or titanium backup, and for the life of me I can't seem to make them use internal storage, I would really like to know, or I am going to have to buy a new phone. :mad::(
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
The simple answer is - you can't.

The complex answer is - you might be able to add a "virtual" filesystem through a big file mounted from internal memory under /sdcard mount, but for that I imagine you'd have to recompile a kernel with those changes. Even if you're proficient with that stuff, counting the number of hours it'll take you to do it vs the price of SD flex cable on eBay will likely be in favor of buying a cable.

Thanks for the info, i might try it as a side project. But i am going to go buy the Samsung galaxy note 2, and keep this phone and try and fix it.

hi

i'm from iran

and google doesn't let us use the play store

so i'm using proxy server (https)

i installed market accesses , market unlocker and market enabler but in download time

show the messsage 403

what i do?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Faekie:
I'm not entirely sure but from my findings, all apps don't use the global proxy settings.

Also a proxy isn't a guaranteed way to bypass theese kind of restrictions.

Another way could be to setup a router (linux or other) to route a WLAN SSID through a VPN-tunnel, terminating in another country where Play store is available.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaffster:
Hi All,

Since I got the S3 I've been running the rooted stock ROM in preperation for a stable CM10 without any major issues. Yesterday I did it, downloaded CM10 and the latest gapps, did a CWM backup, wiped the phone and installed the new ROM.

Everything running fine apart from one thing.

Google Maps will not find my location using GPS, but if I enable the cell tower option then I get a rough position. Navigation gets stuck on 'Searching for GPS' and will not lock on to my location even though I have the solid Circle on the taskbar at the top. Other GPS applications such as Endomondo work fine and the GPS locks on quickly and is really accurate.

So I conclude that this is an issue with Maps/Navigation - I've no idea how to fix it. I was going to go back to an older gapps package but I don't think maps/navigation is included in the gapps packages, it certainly wasn't included in the latest one that I downloaded. I had to download Maps from the Play store.

Has anybody had this issue before?

Thanks

I had the same problem yesterday after I flashed a MIUI ROM based off of CM10. I got my too work by enabling the Google location services, making sure to allow all permissions for the map app (LBE Guard app wasn't allowing some permissions), turning on GPS and then restarting my phone. After that maps picked up my location.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smudgy456:
Its not maps is the problem. It picks up GPS in maps no bother, its when you switch to navigation it won't work. No one else seems to be reporting the issue on the super nexus thread so I'm not sure what's causing it
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaffster:
So I've tried enabling all of the location services and the maps application is more accurate (gives my position based on either wi-fi or network) but it still will not work. I've had no prompts from the Superuser application and I can't find a whitelist or anything where I can add maps to it.

What a bizarre issue....

This might already be common knowledge but I didnt see an answer when I searched this forum but..

Does Wi-Fi calling use rate plan minutes? It says here http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-1680 that it does (I believe), but in which situations would it NOT use rate plan minutes? Is there a way to modify my note 2 to not use rate plan minutes when on wi-fi calling?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rhiannon224:
It does use rate plan minutes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] whatsitsnamenow:
If you are in a contract monthly plan the Wi-Fi calling is free and does not use your rate plan minutes. You have to activate the feature first, by calling tmobile or through your account online. Your Wi-Fi calls will show up as using a different pool rather than your 500 or whatever amount minutes.

This does not work on prepaid.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jinra321:
Hm, how about this? http://www.tmonews.com/2011/05/t-mobile-bring-unlimited-wifi-calling-back/

Has policy changed since last year?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rhiannon224:
I guess it did. I have been with t mobile since last August and when I used it on my Sensation it popped up on the screen that it used plan minutes every time I used it. Also T Mo cs and store manager said it uses plan minutes.

I am on contract plan with unlimited talk & text, 2gb data and it definitely uses plan minutes, maybe different plans have different wifi calling rates, idk.

Ok..I just signed up with t mobile..what I was told was wifi calling was no min from your home address only..it uses your phone gps to detect
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rhiannon224:
So your gps can pick up satellites indoors? According to their website it uses plan minutes. I've learned not to really on anything customer service says, they are pretty clueless. Technical support read from a script and just repeat back every word you say and just say I am sorry. I usually have better luck troubleshooting without them. They tried to get me to make an insurance claim because I had dust accumulating under the screen and a warranty. They sent me a refurb with a chewed up SIM card slot.

Maybe I am wrong but I have been told over a dozen times in the past year by them that it uses plan minutes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bigcountryed:
As an employee of T-Mobile I just wanted to set the record straight and let everybody know that wifi calling does indeed use rate plan minutes. The reasoning is that even though the voice call is being routed over the internet it still has to eventually go through T-mobiles towers and network before it reaches the final destination (receiving party) regardless of the carrier. This is a common question that we get from customers regarding billing inquiries. WiFi calling is a free feature, in the fact that we do not charge extra for this service. Like other carriers in additional hardware. However, WiFi Calling is subjected to the same terms of service as utilizing a tower.

(Ex-500 anytime minute plan pricing with unlimited tmobile to tmobile & nights and weekends at no extra charge.)

The only way to protect yourself from overages besides monitoring those minutes is to get the unlimited anytime minute plan or the new unlimited any mobile feature, to ensure no overage surprises. Know its wordy but I Hope it helps.
