[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ECOTOX:
i was considering won 8 pro tabs but looking at the price and the fact that i tend to work in alot of layers the atom processors would take a dumper in my case. I usually work in large dpi/res images with many layers which my desktop is perfect for. I'm wanting something with protability and the power to do alot of the desktop stuff but i suppose ill have to make a bit of sacrifice which is ok, the note will be a good way to start my images with sketches and such and i can do the painting and effects on my desktop :D
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ECOTOX:
i wish i had $ for a 20" cintiq T^T ill have to save because thats the one thing i dont like about my tab on my desktop right now is i feel sorta disconnected from my work. Its also why i was looking at the note as a sketchbook/media device so it looks like im making a good decision skipping the laptop for now. I really like using Sketchbook Mobile on my GNex so i will only like Sketchbook Pro better on my Note im sure :P

ty guys for helping me decide, and for anyone else trying to decide we can point them here cause you guys gave some good advice

ps awesome gallery :D I'm just getting back into art after 5 years of not doing it so im a bit rusty and workin on improving my skills

now in layer paint is it just me or does it not support multiply layers? :3
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] jedah:
I guess it kind of depends on how much you're willing to spend. The more you would want to do on the go, the more you'll have to spend. The Note 10.1 will not exactly handle more than an Atom-based x86 Win8 tablet either. The difference is that because you're running Android, you're not gonna have apps that will overload the processor (aka you can't shoot yourself in the foot). But, one of the major benefits of having Win8 is being able to run desktop class software. It may not be able to handle Photoshop, but it can probably handle the likes of Sketchbook Pro, Artrage, and Paint Tool Sai.. and the desktop versions of these apps will probably be more powerful than their mobile counterpart (not sure if Sai has a tablet version out there).

That being said, I have the Note and an i3 Lenovo laptop w/ an Intuos/22" monitor.. and between these two I'm perfectly satisfied. If you add the multiwindow mod (multiwindow for any app) for the Note, then you'll almost have a desktop like experience on the go.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] asdfuogh:
I think it was already mentioned, but the main advantage of the Note over the Laptop+WacomTablet is the portability. Since it sounds like you're going to use your desktop for more careful work anyway, you probably will get more out of the Note's portability. By the way, how is TVPaint in terms of its usage, relative to desktop class software?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ECOTOX:
Yea, my budget is about 500$, so 1000$+ win8 tabs with decent processors won't be an option. Ik the note won't handle more, its just like you pointed out that android apps are lighter. I've use Sketchbook mobile and its for the most part the same as the desktop version. I think from the comments here I'm not gonna regret getting the note c:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] fishgimp:
I remember seeing your colours on the paint/sketch thread here, nice work!

anyway, the cintiq I bought secondhand off ebay and it was probably the best working investment ever though the $$$ did hurt somewhat. it was 1200 used, ended up 1600 ish with shipping/tax. would have been cheaper if I didn't live in Canada :p you can get pretty good deals if you don't mind shopping around on ebay/craigs etc.it speeds up my workflow at least 30%.

I also see people raving about the yiynova now which is 500 bucks or something? http://frenden.tumblr.com/post/38693256477/yiynovamsp19u

there's an open beta that you can sign up for, it is actually THE desktop software ported onto android so it's fully functional afaik and very powerful. but god knows how much they will end up pricing it at.

Hi,

I have a galaxy ace 2 (i8160).

When I bought it, it came with a Polish rom - with all sorts of Polish software.

I'd like to format it and put a NZ rom on it - but can't locate one (strange - as they are sold in nz by the telcos).

My question: Always been confused about this - can I put any standard rom on the phone (like for example a UK one)?

Can anyone recommend anything please.

Thanks,

My device is a P990h, wich is the same P990 but fabricated here in Brazil

I installed the LG v28G Stock ROM this weekend on my app, coming from a CM7.2. At that time I had CWM 5.5.1.5 and CWM Recovery Touch 6.0.1.5 (payed with paypal) with plenty of backups.

But now CWM doesn't detect the Recovery, prompting me to install it. When I chose to do so, it doesn't detect my device saying that it is not supported:

If I tap on yes, the following dialog box pops up:

As I was concerned with a possible irregular functioning, I said that I did have it and chosed the second option (v3 and higher). Now I have CWM Recovery v5.0.2.8d on my phone and can't find the old backups and stuff anymore!

What should I do? Is it happenning because CWM really doesn't support P990's ICS? How can I upgrade the recovery tool to the newest one?

I'm thinking of installing a v30a stock ROM on my device, since v28G isn't matching my expectations, but I can't put it on with this issue bugging me

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GGXtreme:
I know that I should "try them myself", but there are a billion ROMs here and I haven't been following any outside of CM/AOKP. It doesn't help that a few of the ROM threads here that seem promising are kind of messy and difficult to sift through and the forum is too saturated to search properly for simple terms. Instead of posting questions in ROM threads and risking getting flamed, I decided to create a thread here. I'm looking for a new daily driver based on TouchWiz JellyBean (

no AOSP/CM/AOKP/etc.

), and I'm willing to try out ROMs based on your suggestions :D

Primarily looking for:

-Stability and lack of bugs (all hardware/software works as intended)

-Speed and smoothness

-Battery life

-Screen Modes (dynamic, standard, natural and movie modes from international version/Note 2)*

-one-handed operation mode (for keyboard, dialer, etc. from Note 2)*

-pop-up browser and/or multi-window/multi-view

Not crucial, but preferred:

-AOSP/multi-target/circle lock screen

-GNote 2 SMS app or inverted/dark background AOSP SMS app

-4.2 keyboard (I can add this myself if anything)

-camera on call and enable camera on low battery

Don't want:

-4.2 camera (unless I can remove it and use the TouchWiz camera)

-AOSP/AOKP themed MMS with quickreply (unless the bugs with image display, sending and rotation have been fixed)

-Bravia engine/acid audio/beats audio/etc. (it's fine if I can remove it myself without breaking anything)

-heavy/over-the-top theming

*not sure if any ROMs here have this feature :confused:

If you're running, developing or familiar with a ROM that you think is close to what I'm looking for, please direct me to the thread and I'll give it a try. Thanks in advance for the help :)

check out youtube for video reviews man
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GGXtreme:
Well, I spent many hours online researching and reading about ROM's, made a nandroid and clean-flashed a few ROM's from AT&T and Rogers bases. So far...I'm really disappointed in TouchWiz. While my friends with the S3 or Note 2 on other carriers have shown me a fast, fluid and flawless out-of-the-box experience (albeit with some bloatware), every TouchWiz ROM I tried was noticeably laggy to the point that some of my apps and games were unusable (same apps are just fine on my friend's devices and on my device running AOKP). On top of that, TouchWiz seems to introduce black clipping in video playback using any hardware player (not present on my friend's Note 2 and not present on my S3 with AOKP). This is a dealbreaker for me.

I guess I really do have to settle with AT&T's devices: either certain important features don't work or I have to deal with a bunch of minor bugs and the device lags more than my Captivate in some common scenarios :(
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Danvdh:
try my rom man, you will like it

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GGXtreme:
Does your ROM include an MMS app besides the AOSP one with quick-reply? I know everyone says it 'works 100%', but I always have problems with MMS images not displaying properly/at all after a week or two of using it. Not to pester you with questions, but do you also happen to know if the mDNIE mode can be changed in TouchWiz ROM's (ie. via build.prop)? I suspect this is what's causing the black clipping issue, as I always disabled mDNIE in AOKP.

Edit: Nvm, I just noticed the option to flash another MMS app. Still curious about mDNIE modes though, as I can't stand the dark scenes in my videos being invisible on TouchWiz ROM's.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Danvdh:
Not sure about the mdnie in videos, but this is the latest build from Samsung. Newer then 99 percent of touchwiz roms, give it a try and report back
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GGXtreme:
I just started downloading it, I'll definitely report back tomorrow when I get a chance to flash it. Not sure how I overlooked it in my search :silly:

From what I remember from a post by supercurio, the mDNIE tuning is part of the drivers and would require a custom kernel to fix, as the black clipping issue is present on almost all TouchWiz devices except the original Galaxy S and devices with screen modes that can be changed to something like 'Cinema' or 'Movie' (Exynos devices).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ajayghotra:
Try loserskaters rom "LoserRom" I flashed it a while ago and its doing great, no FC's, no random reboots etc etc
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Opie Knievel:
I was recently running Drew Garen Serenity 1.2. It's a port of the Jelly Bean ROM from the Note 2. It has all of the working features of the Note 2 except Multi Windows. It does include the 1 hand operation mode you were wanting. It also includes the Note 2 Gallery, which I really liked.

Galaxy Mod Rls14 is really good too and features working Multi Window. I can't remember if it has 1 hand operation.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GGXtreme:
Definitely an improvement. Seems similar to the previous ROM's I tried, but now my apps and games no longer lag horribly. I like how light and AOSP-like it is from the initial flash. Unfortunately, the black crush issue is still present and I think that'll have to be a kernel fix similar to Voodoo color on the original Galaxy S. I might keep this for now though.

I'll give it a try now that I'm in the mood to flash everything :p

How stable do you find those? The main reason I was avoiding Note 2 based ROM's is that there seemed to be a lot of bugginess reported in the threads and after a while I just want something I can flash once and forget.

Thanks for all the replies, these suggestions are all in the direction I'm looking for :)

Edit: I gave Serenity 1.2 a try, and while it gives me the one-handed operation I'm looking for, but the Screen Mode option in the settings doesn't seem to do anything, so videos still have black crush. I was able to poorly get around this on my Infuse by using a screen filter app, but this doesn't seem to have an effect on the S3. I'm positive this is a kernel/driver issue at this point.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Opie Knievel:
I found Serenity 1.2 and Galaxy Mod Rls14.1 very stable. Actually I can't remember encountering a single problem. I personally love TouchWiz. That's one of the main deciding factors for me when choosing a ROM. I guess I've just got used to it over the years. My first smartphone was a Galaxy S Fascinate on Verizon. I tried Galaxy Mod 15 but had some other issues with my phone that had to be addressed before I could really get to test it out. I'm thinking about trying it again. Which ever ROM you decide to try my best advice is to do a lot of research before you do any flashing and for goodness sakes MAKE A QCN BACKUP! http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1801997 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1308546 I didn't and lost my IMEI and had to order a replacement phone because I never could get it completely straightened out.

Odp: Battery issues since update

Don't you know that draining Li-Ion battery till zero damages it.You should never let battery drain till device shuts down.Do it three or for times and your battery will have like a half capacity.

You can clear battery stats with many google play apps or by CWM.There is an option for it.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mojito0:
Btw, this battery calibration thing or the "let battery go dead zero and then charge to 100" are not working. Battery Calibration is just a myth (a busted one), And according to Google Engineer Dianne Hackborn the batterystats file has no impact on the current battery level shown to you wether you wipe it or not.
