Wanna know why I haven't bothered with 4.1.2?

Because the differences between 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 are stupidly minor.

4.1.1 to 4.1.2 deep down brings nothing to the table for us. It might for touchwiz, but the actual base Android OS sees little improvement overall. As for Touchwiz, we already have some of the updates in 4.1.1 on our variant.

http://www.androidcentral.com/inter...-get-android-412-update-new-touchwiz-features

From the article:

As you can see, we already have most of that (I highlighted it).

Back to 4.1.2:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/1...4-1-2-at-the-low-level-developer-commit-logs/

The only reason 4.1.2 was released is because it contained a mandatory software update for new Nexus 7 hardware revisions (dealing with power management hardware) and the new N7's releasing wouldn't run on 4.1.1. Otherwise, Google could have easily just waited until 4.2 with the changes.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/1...id-4-1-2-update-being-released-to-aosp-today/

I wouldn't say MANY. You have to look at other US Note 2 variants too. Tmobile and ATT didn't even ship with mulitwindow and are just now getting it. Welcome to the world of US carrier control.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lostnuke:
Another placebo effect with 4.1.2.

As for the note 2 on verizon, once rooted/unlocked, its great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
Working with AOSP for a year, you get a really good feeling for just how much placebo is out there, when you get to see the nitty gritty in actual changes.

I miss my gnex. I don't miss its poor signal and battery life though.

4.1.1 to 4.1.2 is crazy minor and has no noticeable effect to most people.

4.2 to 4.2.1 is another one, and pointless if you are CDMA and already fixed the contacts bug yourself.

Yet, on both of those updates, people saw miraculous changes in performance and stability ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
I guess you didn't read about how the update to AT&T/US Cellular Note 2s which included 4.1.2 also happened to fix the missing auto-correction in the Samsung keyboard, and 240p/480p flash videos display corruption.

Both are huge to me, and probably many other people (the keyboard one especially.)

Just because the update includes a bump in Android firmware doesn't mean that's what I'm looking forward to. So yes, it does matter and the sooner we get it the better. And my point about Verizon failing hard at updating devices (not just to change their build number) still stands.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
Flash isn't supported in Jellybean, so that is not something I am concerned with. As for the Samsung keyboard autocorrect, that again is pretty minor when you can sideload a superior-in-every-way keyboard.

Both of those are third party issues, and not worthy of an OS bump. That is my point. Its a minor (in every way) update. Yeah, Verizon sucks on updates, but people will whine about anything. You knew that going in, and hey, at least we saw multiwindow before ATT or Tmobile. Some of the touchwiz features we even saw before the International version.

Someone wake me when Samsung releases 4.2. Then I will be interested.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nrfitchett4:
are you able to multi-window any app in 4.1.2 on the note 2? On the 10.1 we have to be running 4.1.2 for the multi-window because of something that changed. On 4.1.1 you have to edit each app.

I don't know a lot about coding, but that is big for me. I know on the note 2, most custom ROMs have this ability already, but the dev section of the 10.1 is pretty lean at the moment. Guess all the devs got nexus 7's and 10's.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
Not even the international version can multiwindow any app without outside modification.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
Damn man so pessimistic lol

I love that flash still works. And the fact that Samsung actually took the time to fix it in their update means they care too.

As for the keyboard, I enjoy my extra row of numbers and see nothing wrong with it. The only reason I use the stock AOSP 4.2 keyboard right now is because it has auto-correct working. Otherwise, yeah I'd be using that Touchwiz goodness.

I'm not interested in the bump to 4.1.2. **** I wish they would just hotfix these two minor things without lumping it into a firmware update so I could enjoy these fixes without waiting months for Verizon. Unfortunately it is what it is and there's no reason for you to be defending them. I mean really, what point are you trying to make? We know 4.1.2 doesn't do much of anything for us, it's just a lot easier for us to say "we're waiting for 4.1.2 update" rather than "we're waiting for the update that fixes x y and z"

Cool story bro?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nrfitchett4:
I know, but someone developed an app that allows you to choose which apps you want to multi-window, save, reboot and done. Most apps work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
Right. But that is not due to 4.1.2.

That same app is in the development forum here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
Not so much as pessimistic, but a hardened Verizon veteran that has seen too many wars with them.

That and a year on the Galaxy Nexus has shown me that newer isn't always better, 4.2 is a train wreck. By the time we see it, I hope the issues are worked out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nrfitchett4:
That app only works on 4.1.2, not 4.0.4 or 4.1.1. You can't even install the app on those firmwares. He says either google or Samsung added something to make adding multiwindow easier for devs.

Here's the thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2079807

Like I said, I don't understand the functions of it, just know that it works on 4.1.2 and nothing else.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
Wait, you mean the 4.2 update to the Nexus phone that Verizon has yet to even put out? lawl gotta laugh. I've seen plenty of wars with Verizon myself but I see no reason to argue with users about why they should not look forward to fixes reaching their device, and the greedy ****s who slow that process down for them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
Are we talking about the same thing?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2045974

Right at the top, it shows our 4.1.1 release as the supported version.

This guy was able to get it done. Not sure why the other guy couldn't.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BennyJr:
Is there something wrong with 4.1.1. that you NEED an update once google updates? 4.2.1 is still broken. Why do you think sometimes there is a delay from when google pushes an update to when you see it. Its more then just Verizon. If verizon put out the 4.2.1. update now for the nexus people would be calling left and right saying that their phone is rebooting when updating apps from the market, especially when you modify the lock screen widgets. No way verizon would approve something still broken.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
Part of me being ok with going backwards in Android versions is how broken 4.2 was (and still is).

I like the 4.2 changes, but not the instability.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nrfitchett4:
not really sure. Doesn't really matter. US note 10.1 is still on ICS...

Running German 4.1.2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BennyJr:
Same here. Lots of useful stuff but it seems rushed and still no fix. I update beautiful widgets and my tablet reboots. :eek:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
Whoooooooooosh.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] haunting:
Very true...

Remember the HTC Rezound?

It was nearly unusable I went through 7 phone replacements before I finally did the root and installed the buggy leaked ICS when they did finally release ICS it worked well enough but then HTC / Verizon all but dropped support for it and the phone had equal or better hardware as every smart phone on the market at the time. While not "completely" VZW's fault I was furious about the whole situation will never again buy an HTC product and soon as my contract is up I'll be moving to another carrier.

IMO the "Right" thing for them to have done would have been at the least replace the phone at the normal upgrade cost for another device without forcing an account change. I think that would have been fair but they pretty much gave us all the big red bird and forced a lot of people out of their grandfathered plans to upgrade out of that phone. Some people will buy their upgrades out right and keep the plan but I think eventually they'll find a dirty way to force people out of the unlimited plan completely upgrade or not. What people can hope for is pressure from Sprint, they keep their unlimited plan once they have their LTE network rolled out and Verizon be forced to redesign their tiered plans with more reasonable caps.

That said the developer community is amazing please keep up the great work adding back features VZW and other carriers take away for what ever reason and new features that you may not ever have got out of your device otherwise.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] awwilson21:
Having coverage everywhere I go is more important than any small features the other variants have.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] big.daddy:
Agreed!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jiwengang:
Strongly agreed. That's why I stick to Verizon network's GNote 2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
That's a cup half full way of looking at it. I guess that means I'm the pessimist after all, since I view it as a cup half empty. Sure they have the best coverage and that's the only reason I stick around with them, but they undeniably stripped our phone of features and fail to properly keep it up to date in a timely manner. The OEM can only do so much to update our device, the majority of responsibility in the hand off to us comes from the carrier and there's no arguing that Verizon is notoriously bad in that department.

But then again I guess you could look at the demographic of the typical Verizon customer and realize why they don't give a rats ass to update phones as fast as the other carriers do. Hell this is an Android developer forum, and even here there are a ton of people saying "yeah I don't care when they update my device I'm happy as things are." Figure what the average person out there thinks, who doesn't even know what an OTA is lol

Amen for our dev community is all I gotta say.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] universexda:
At work many coworkers without Verizon have to leave the building to make calls or get data, but with Verizon I can remain at my desk. Also I could keep unlimited data at the old rates by remaining with Verizon. The Verizon Note 2 is somewhat crippled but not enough to outweigh the aforementioned advantages. However I am on the lookout here and elsewhere for "minimally invasive", and reliable, bug free ways to rock my Note.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BennyJr:
This. But yet people cry over >10 features missing from the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jmorton10:
LOL, you went through 7 replacements but none of that was user error??

I bought a Rezound the day they where released. I still have it, and it works just fine.

Granted, I never thought it was quite as fast as it could have been but that's hardly verizon's fault and it certainly got faster as better ROMs where released (like every smart phone ever made)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] eraursls1984:
I've went through 7 thunderbolts. All had the same problems, the headphone jack (left side only) would quit working and the power button would become recessed and start to stick. My first one last a few months, the replacements lasted no longerthan 3 weeks each, and one or two had messed up headphone jacks when I received them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LBJM:
I couldn't agree more. Flash works and so do some of my HC tablet apps I sideloaded. Scott's cleanrom VZW rom has mult window fixed and the wifi notification fixed. Now all I want for this is the sedio extended convert case to be released and 6400mah battery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] FMXP:
Verizon has the best network. So I don't mind putting up with some of the stuff they pull.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LBJM:
Most of their shenanigans are software changes which have already been fixed. The locking of the bootloader is a very low thing to do, but I'm glad those with the talent to get around that problem were able to succeed as quickly as they did. I only put up with because this community exists.
[Nexus 4 General] Fataldesain:
OK so I got two nexus 4's and I just moved to T-Mobile and honestly I need two more phones and it kinda doesn't make sense to buy any used phone with the nexus price so low.

So if I was to get a replacement and hypothetically dropped it and wanted to keep my phone could Google just charge me for it and I get to keep it. It kinda the same as buying it right.
[Nexus 4 General] lazinase:
Am I smelling fraud?
[Nexus 4 General] icecicle:

[Nexus 4 General] Fataldesain:

How to Install Widget Picker Service ADW Launcher

Heather_A,

The folder /system/app is a secured folder, you need Root access to mount the folder:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2069117

If you have Root, you need to use either ES File Explorer or Root Explorer in Root Mode.

In ES File Explorer, you need to go into the Settings Menu, next the Root Settings Menu.

Click on all the options in Root Settings. Be sure to Allow the Pop up Superuser request.

Once you have Root, then look at the VERY TOP Left of ES File Explorer where it says Local.

Look to the Right of Local, it probably says /sdcard/Download. If this is the case, you need

to click on the Up twice until you see Local /. You are now at Root, from here you will click

on /system - Local now shows /system, next click on app, now you are at /system/app.

Does this help? Since you are working with the /system/app folder, it is critical to backup
