Customization is something new for the people and it was introduced by google android. But too much customization and as said every aspect to be customized gets boring and too much pain in the a _ _. I am not disrespectful to the devs but not all the mods are for everyone. People who likr liberty definitely can go for it. But for m stability is the main thing. I am an old nokia user and i still remember that i used to know where things are and sometimes uses the menu without looking at it. Same thibg is what i do with ny android. I rarely adjuat ny homescreens, so to know where things actually are. So for people like me TW is doing the job and i am still in stock rom with root.

Way to go samsung. Someday ur TW will have its own kernel and rom :)

Note 2 looks like a badly designed surfboard to me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] msedek:
I am here because

1-I am stock rooted and I had to learn how to root the Note because with my gnexus I only use adb commands.

2-I didn't know about brick bug when I bought the device.. So glad I came here so I know I can not just factory reset the phone because it's a risk..

3-I like to help others as you can see in my thank metter, not because I give a damn about that but because I like to help.

4-I like be informed with the last news about updates and here its a good place to start looking for.

5-I like debating and sometimes I can find people like you to do so and that complete the experience.. Hehe

Aite all good..

OT: seems like samsung got something important to show us in CES 2013.. In January... Maybe some of the S4?

So I could add one more point for me not buying Note2.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Savage13:
I'm amazed by how many people here don't respect devs like the CM team and how many people don't understand the importance of open source.

I also didn't realise some people on Android had the same attitude as Apple fan boys.

I'm out of this thread. Goodbye.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] msedek:
Respect? I respect developers as I respect you and every single person in this forum as far as I get the same respect.. I develop for living not as Hobbie.. A simple firmware for a device most people changes every year it's not a big deal.. They develop because they choose to and share their work because they want to..

I respect people for being people not because of a Hobbie...

Okay guys,enough ! We're veering wayyy off-topic here.:silly:

As far as I can see these are the only viable options for the replacement of the galaxy note(I'm using XXLSC and have been using CM9/10 ,PA,AOKP extensively):

1-----HTC M7/DLX------Its HTC with a Qualcomm instead of Nvidia (thank the Lord !).So we can expect some developer support for it.5" and 1080p.Has a good camera(going by the One X's standards).Maybe a microsd card(at least according to the European version rumors).Relatively teeny-tiny battery but that is claimed to be offset by the new SLCD3 or LCD3 or whatever tech behind the new screenn.Also has beats audio.

S-ON/OFF crap is bound to be there and HTC won't give up the sources that easily(or will they ?---I have not searched that much on history of HTC and XDA).(Just look up the specs online).Beautiful design(for a phone, that is ;))

2-----SAMSUNG GALAXY SIV------The successor of the current android market leader(no arguments there people).Again 5" 1080p and the usual stuff with sammy branding.A microsd will be there:fingers-crossed:.Exynos SoC.Deal-breaker for me.Can't live w/o CM.A plastic thingy again with an above average camera.

3-----Sony Xperia Yuga------Again 5" 1080p.Has a microsd card slot(according to rumors).Full GPL compliance (:highfive::good:)Guranteed CM and other dev support.Solid camera and build quality.Also, SoC is Qualcomm made so no problems there.....

Also, I like its design.(someone here called it something weird,I believe)

Now, some disclaimers before I make my decision(note, my decision):

1.) I don't give a hairy rat's *** about skins on top of AOSP.

2.) CM support is required.With hw-composer working.(This is the only reason I'm stuck with XXLSC........:crying::crying:)

3.) No more plasticky stuff.The Note is my first(and last) phone with so muck 'plasticky' feel to it.

Sony Xperia Yuga.If it has a microsd card expansion slot.Otherwise I'm happy with my Note until something better comes out.(Also,for those wondering, 32 gb just doesn't cut it for me and with 3G and LTE prices touching the heavens in India,a non-microsd phone is just not feasible)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] azzledazzle:
Id like to see what HTC have to offer in the next 12 months, I for sure wont be downgrading in screen size when i renew my contract, So unless some other company produces a Phablet, Ill be sticking with the note series.

However, I think the build quality of Samsung is awful, They make excellent phones with great hardware, But damn my phone feels like a plastic chinese fake !!

Ive had several HTCs and the build quality was second to none, They felt tough and rugged and well built, I liked that more than anything, but the downside for me was the hardware, I had nothing but issues with signal on every HTC i owned, With Samsung, everything works just as it should and thats important to me.....

I dont really use the S-Pen, i think its a neat gadget tho and i love what its capable off, Theres nothing else like it at the moment so Samsung did well with making that!

I normally rush into buying phones, I see something that looks good and get it without prior knowledge or testing, But next time I will take my time and thoroughly test them before committing. Id like to stick with Samsungs Note series, But lets hope something radical happens before the release of the Note 3, If its just another flimsy peice of plastic then im done with them !

Hey gimme a break ! I wasnt the only person who was OT ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] raj.neo:
Aaaaargh!

What's with the arguments going on in so many threads these days!

As far as I am concerned.....I'd buy the best that would be available whenever I am tired of my NOTE and wish to move on. I would weigh my options and make a (hopefully) good decision :)

And people, please stop fighting!

The only true comment. Same story here. Its been 9 months using my note initially i tried to flash a fes roms because ics was getting late. But custom roms are not stable. So got back to stock then came ics and i am still on my stock 4.0.4. I love TW and now i cant live without s pen. So always a note for me.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hkgrob:
So if Sony will use the new Exynos chip, either they have to get Samsung to provide better sources, or their devices will suffer the same Dev source problems. That rules out Sony as well.

They also say

"The other features associated with this upcoming and yet unknown flagship device is that it will feature 3GB of RAM, a 16MP camera, a 3000 mAh battery, a 5-inch display with 1080p resolution, 128GB of inbuilt storage and an IR port. It will also be water and dust resistant."

very well said... this guy needed someone to give a sharp reply as yours... he's just sitting and replying nonsense to the noobs all day long... trying to show them that he himself was too intelligent...

i too belong to that 1 percent but believe me samsung would care a damn if this genius doesnt buy a samsung phone... cuz their 99percent share is also very huge even if some self acclaimed specialists just commenting every where to increase their post count dont buy samsung...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Reynaldinho111:
Lol... you really think I care about my post count? Where did I ever claim to be a genius or a self *proclaimed* (I think that's the word you meant;)) specialist. I was giving my opinion which is shared by many on here in the note forums and all over xda. Broaden your horizons bro. We had a debate, one which was, in my opinion, very successful which has now ended on what I believe to be good terms, no hard feelings on my part, anyway. What's the use in bringing the topic back up with your useless comments?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] manisht720:
lol... you got me wrong dear xda member... i was appreciating your straight forward response to chamodo... and that post count was meant for chasmodo and not you... i have come across lot of his rough comments to new users and never has anybody supported the noobs cuz chasmodo has a high post count... but you served him his dish back... and i was actually appreciating that...

I can't be bothered to reply to this drivel.:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] qazibasit:
We all have our own experience. Galaxy note is one of the few devices which got a lot of development including s2. There is no point of arguing on a year old device when new and much better are already out there. For the stock rom lovers and TW lovers including me. We are still thankfuk to the devs and we know they lack resources unlike samsung. But still they provided us with a total different experience. Its not like if we are stock users we dont need the devs. I still remember when my note wss on GB there were patches that i figured out through xda. If my note is sae from brick bug its because of xda and safe kernels. Plus jelly bean will be the last update for note and we have to rely on dev in the near future with the KLP So devs are am important part of android community.

Most fixes were unknown to samsung and they accuired them from custom roms. So please stop these blame game and stick to the harmony beat.

Rom is something which is an individual preference.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Reynaldinho111:
In that case i apologize, just FYI I share the same opinion as chas and I don't think any of my replies we to him. However, Chas plays a huge part in the note forums, probably more so than any other member, yes we all have our moments, myself included, but chas updates and maintains the kernel suppository™, he builds asylum cm10 and now he's compiling the cm10.1 nightlies, and that's just for this device. All while managing his real life and answering countless questions and generally helping out. Sure chas has a high post count but that's because of the amount of work he puts into this forum. So please let's not start name calling etc.

@Chas sorry, brother, I know you weren't going to say anything but I felt like it needed to be said. Pm me if you want me to remove it, buddy.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] qazibasit:
Actually samsung is focused on a different game. They want to own their own os instead of android. They are still using android just becasue of the play store. I was reading some articles where a tech analyst predicted that either samsung will be android or android will be samsung. Yesterday a samsung representative accepted that apple services are whats inspiring them right now. So its not hard to assume that samsung is planninn their own cloud and sync services leaving behind the google. Who is not even charging royalty for it OS and services.

In the end i would say that google needs to open its eyes before the hardware vendors leave android behind like orkut in the past.

My only dispute with samsung is why they always go for the already existing idea to refine. Why they dont innovate themselves.

For those who were keen to leave samsung for sony yuga. Here comes the disappointment. It will still use then old s4 pro :))))
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] warfareonly:
Google is not charging royalty for android because it is open source.

Hardware vendors won't be leaving behind anyone over here or else they'll become Blackberry and lets not forget that they need Google for their software.

And how is the S4 pro old when the 'new' nexus 4 comes with it ?Or is it using a 'different' S4 pro?

Oh, 'then' old......but at quad core, will there really be a difference except in benchmarks and lets not forget that we have the CM team on our side :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] qazibasit:
Well thats what i am saying google is not getting anything. Googles bread and butter is uses by vendors and u will see in a year or two when TW will be a seperate OS.

Plus sony yuga will be released in Q3. So by then s4 pro is definitely old. CM is on ur side but there is also a possibility that sony could use exynos so ur happiness is quite early.

People who show eagerness towards upcoming devices basically cause a bias in estimation of sales. Like before iphone5 release people were like as if they will definitely buy it and posting polls. But when it was released samsung sold 30 million s3 :)))
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] barretp:
I'm looking at the new Oppo Find 5.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] warfareonly:
Okay, I'm not omniscient but I can figure out that Google must be going forward with this (by this, I mean Android and open-source and all) because it sees profit in it somewhere.At the end of the day, they're a commercial company, not a charity.There must be some kind of profit in Google services or ads or whatever.Sammy has already tried to introduce a new OS on its own and its called Bada (or something) and I remember nobody's using it.Doubt they will try that again unless they're extremely sure.Also, please remember that the S3 sold that much because of the Android OS powering it.Multitudes of apps.If it had been WP/insert-OS-here on it then it wouldn't have sold (at least not 30mn).

Sony isn't that dumb.Yuga will be out in Q1 or early Q2 latest.As for Exynos SoC,that's just a rumor too ! Sony is offering full GPL compliance to the developer community for a year now and I doubt they will want to mess that up by using an SoC that is very hard to develop for.But I agree, the chance is there, since we are a (pretty tiny) minority.We also have to see if Sammy would be willing to let a competitor use the Exynos 5 on a mobile device that will challenge it's S4 directly.

Tell me that you've never been eager about any device, ever, and eat my words back :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] qazibasit:
BADA is an old os. It was released when samsung was shifting from symbian. Plus bada is for low end devices. Thats why no one is using it. People use android or ios because they fulfill their computing needs. Thats not the case with bada.

I only go crazy for the devices that are released. Because its useless to focus a device when its in development. Like htc butterfly J. People were so much anticipated to get that thing but when it comes to the market the only above average thing in it is its display. Rest all the hardware is below average being the battery poorest.

Likewise another example iphone 5, the samsung galaxy beam which was to be released before s3 but came so so late.

So here people are shouting about sony and just before the finish line samsung will take out something different and the mass will stick to it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] warfareonly:
Hmm.....what do you guys think ?

On the basis of what little is there, that is.

You can compare Now to the Sony yuga review....

http://m.gsmarena.com/sony_c660x_xperia_yuga_reviewed_liked-news-5225.php

You all say Sony its better... Well.. I dont think so.. Reflective screen... And its a snapdragon chip Quadracore 1.7...s4 will have the Last 2.0 Quadracore A15... And so on... And S4 as earned the s pen from Note... Its perfect... To Me...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] qazibasit:
Yes he is right now we have another open option. SIV is definitely going to make the note 2 owners a little jealous.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] warfareonly:
You mean latest quad-core 2 Ghz A15-based Exynos ? Not 2 Ghz that much is for certain....

Why would Samsung merge the Note and the S lines by giving the S-Pen to the SIV too ?

And narrow viewing angles is a boon against prying eyes for me !

I'm still going with the Yuga (if they don't remove the sdcard slot) bcoz "Krait" sounds much better than "Exynos" ! :silly:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Nicko80:
Why merge the note 2 features in s4? Because Note 3 Will have a 6.3 inches screen, most People dont want a mini tablet... I have the note 1 and a S2..And I would never buy a s3 or a note 2...they dont bring nothing New... But The s4 does... Sony can do a good device, it Will come first then s4... The ones Who like it buy it.. I Will wait for the s4... Its a matter of liking or not... Some stil like the iphone 5, its dont question them... They like it, what can i do..... Who cares about the quadracores exynos or krait, its a Phone, not a playstation, i Will not do 5 diferent things on a Phone... I realy dont no, but battery Will drain fast on this phones.... Like they say on the review to yuga... I Will wait and see...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Kortxero:
You sure love the suspension points ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] qazibasit:
He is actually right, s3 and note 2 does not give anything new to the already having s2 and note 1 people. Instead the screen size is becoming annoying. Most people are thinking bigger is in fashion. I need somethkng comfortable like my note 1 both keyboards in landscape and potrait are extremely comfortable. Resolution is great and i want such device . Downgrading to 5 inch SIV with an spen would be better than sony yuga.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Kortxero:
To be honest, even though I work with Samsung in my job, I will no longer follow them if they keep messing up with the screen calibration, firmware and attitude towards the community. A Google phone might be my next pick. I'll be able to renew my contract (and then my phone) in July. I'll see what to do at that moment.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] warfareonly:
He is actually quoting a rumor as true and you're actually believing it.Yes, I know 'no smoke without fire' but c'mon 6.3" from 5.55" is too big of a jump (at least I think so) as it heads straight towards 7" tablet category.:silly:I didn't care about the S-Pen before and I'm not going to start caring for it now.Samsung just definitely lost >2 customers thanks to not releasing the sources so yes, Exynos or Krait do matter to me and other CM users.

You're absolutely correct, the S3 and N2 did not bring anything new to the table other than a ghastly,sickly freaky hello kitty inspired design.

Don't even let me get started on the iPhone 5:eek:That thing is horrible:eek:Yes, I've used it and washed my hands later too:silly::laugh:

at the dawn of the new year

i really think we should stop and introspect

do we really need so many hand sets ? do we really need to spend so much of our time and resources in these forums just reading hours after hours?

learning linux and programming, learning android and about systems, being supportive in communities, communicating online with like- minded people miles away is fine..... is good but one good set is enough for that or two

lets stop and and not participate in the race

we're not children... we dont need to be told how to spend our time more fruitfully

one good set and learning its nuances well....taking it to the highest level ..realising your full potential with it.....i vote for that

just my perspective...for today

coz theres no end to it.....
