Its working i've just checked try again :) :good:
[Galaxy Note II General] Gnarfsan:
Well it would be nice if some of the features get ported cause I'm not replacing my note 2 any time soon :)
[Galaxy Note II General] aukhan:
Same thoughts here :)
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.m0x:
Agreed, the actual hardware of the s4 isn't that Much better than the Note 2. For my uses the Note 2 is already fast as **** and with plenty 0t battery life. It strikes me that most of the desirable functions of the s4 are software based, and even then I don't think they are exciting enough to make me want to give up the s-pen. It's just too damn handy to be able to use your phone just like a pen & notepad.
[Galaxy Note II General] aukhan:
well said i agree with you :good: i dont think the there is much that i can go crazy leaving my note 2 behind ,

But i suspect the Drama feature will no be ported on note 2 as it may require Octa processing speed what says guys ?
[Galaxy Note II General] Anne_Droid:
Crap. I just got my Note II and have only recently thought of playing around with it, trying out a ROM or two.

This will never end!

*cuts credit cards* :laugh:
[Galaxy Note II General] Mastrox:
Wait, i'm not so expert, but i read about the Octa that works like two separeted Quad. So the point is that S4 is not 2x much powerful, but only for the Ghz of his best Quad... Maybe I'm wrong, but I suppose that will be no problem for the feature that are not requesting the IR sensor or the umidity sensor or something similar.
[Galaxy Note II General] bushako:
This air gesture is a pretty old feature which I was using on my old Nokia, it was a 3rd party application that used the front camera to detect the motion of your hands over the screen and swipe photos or pages. Nothing new and certainly not a samsung innovation. Really disappointed as I find it too hyped up.
[Galaxy Note II General] dratsablive:
My question, has it been rooted yet :silly:
[Galaxy Note II General] Gnarfsan:
Yeah that sounds likely :-\

Btw... Am I the only one who is disappointet by the lack of HDR video?
[Galaxy Note II General] pakure:
patience guys......most of the software features on s4 are going to come to the note2..(as confirmed by the top guns at samsung)....but need to wait for the updates..4.2.2
[Galaxy Note II General] Beowulf_pt:
At the first impulse, I wouldn't mind selling my Note 2 and getting an S4, mostly because I think I wouldn't miss the extra screen size (0.5" now) and I would like the decrease in chassis size/weight. Also I'd really like to have an IR emitter to be able to control the TV and other devices.

The other features are mostly software, not a big step up from what I have in the N2.

However, I think I would miss the SPen - I got really used to it and don't consider it a useless gadget anymore. It is great. Extra precision compared to any fingers and a screen that is always clean and shiny.

Plus I finally stopped thinking about battery and plugging in and charging. With the S2 I got an extended huge 2700mAh battery and even that could not compare to the Note2's battery. I now use the device fully from when I get up at 0730 till 1am and when I go to sleep it is usually still around 55% battery. I don't want to go back to a puny battery...
[Galaxy Note II General] naimmkassim:
Note 3 will have same spec like S4 with more big screen, battery n S pen..thats for sure if following its history..:p
[Galaxy Note II General] cebs:
Flagship Phones from Galaxy series (S 3, Note 2) to get new software features

In an interview with PC Mag, Samsung VP of Portfolio Planning, Nick DiCarlo revealed that most of software features found on the Galaxy S4 will make their way to the Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note 2 via firmware updates.

Features like the S Translator, S Health, the new S Voice Drive and basically any new software that you can find in Samsung’s Galaxy S4 and isn’t dependent on the new hardware and sensors should be available to the rest of the company’s high-end devices soon.

The s4 would be good for those who have note1 and s3 below (or made the mistake of buying an iPhone 5).

The more i look at it i think it's a Note 2 mini on steroids.

Oh snap! I don't have a witty tapatalk signature!

I love my note 2 but I'm going to change my wife s3 to s4 which looks better in my opinion. I'll wait for note 3. I hope that size will stay pretty same just screen will be stretched like3 on s4 form 5.5 to max 6!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] refyused:
I've been using the S2 for a couple weeks now and although I'm satisfied with it for the most part, I want the bloatware gone and I want it rooted. Easy enough, except for one thing; there are TONS of ROMs for it and I have no idea where to start as far as which ones are best, and don't want to have to flash dozens of them to find out.

A few things to note;

1 - I'm looking for ease of use, something that includes minimal apps or at least allows me to delete apps that are packaged with it if I don't want them, and something that gets good battery life. I read this thread here and may try Slim Beam Unofficial due to it's better battery life.

2 - Or is there a way to just rip the stock ROM off, remove what I don't want, re-package it and flash it back to the phone? That's what I did with my Evo but it's been over a year and I was VERY familiar with that phone and what tools to use for such tasks. A point in the right direction (ie: link to an informative thread on this subject) would suffice, but specific replies are very much appreciated.

3 - Useful apps would be nice. Perhaps not packaged WITH the ROM but just names of useful apps (I see Titanium Backup mentioned a lot on here) would be helpful. Something to easily copy contacts & texts/call records to my PC would also be nice - the Evo didn't have much as far as that went, at least not that I could find. Maybe some music mixing apps and memory editor suggestions too. This phone is new and exciting to me, capable of WAY more than my old Evo 4G. :victory:

4 - HTC and Samsung have much different interfaces. HTC's was more customizable...I'd like to get that back. Anyone know of any HTC interface ports? Specifically the way the icons on the screen are - I don't like being forced to keep the 4 it came with on the bottom, I'd like to change them to something more useful. Also some switches for a quick data network toggle (not by going into Data Usage to toggle) and stuff like that would be nice. I can do it the Samsung way if I have to, but HTC's interface was more user friendly for me.

Anyway, I'm glad to be back at xda. Thanks for any help/suggestions! :fingers-crossed:

I don't know anything about CM or AOKP roms cause I need Wi-Fi calling so I stick with TW. Ptmr3 has some good roms and puts out loaded and stripped roms.

-2d fighting game like art of fighting for the SNES

-multiplayer fps where you create your own map with a creative mode (minecraft style)

-roller coaster tycoon style game

-get phone out of sleep mode

-many more! :)

Just message me which idea you want info on and I'll tell you!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] playya:
In reading your post it seems as if to me 1 you need to simply root your phone. From that point forward you can do anything you want to it. Now coming from an Evo which I myself came from, at first things seem different but when its software related its relatively all the same. I know you said you were shocked at the lack of responses but I think thats because your questions/feelings are a simple fix and more personalized than just sending you somewhere.

You dont have to use the 4 at the bottom they can be switched and data toggles are all over the web. Not for nothing but you really need to do some homework on android and the amount of customization apps out there...You are missing out on quite a bit

Steps to personalizing your phone below:

Root your phone

Install Root Explorer

install Titanium Backup

Install Android Commander on your pc (if you like)

Just use Google or Google Play to look up apps

Hundreds of way to simplify your rom and I only named a few.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mike-y:
Use the SGS2 toolkit, install a custom recovery, and root your phone. From there you can delete all the Tmo bloatware and clean up the stock rom.

see how that is for a little while, and if you still aren't satisfied, you can try some of the other roms in the dev section.

As far as apps, I have all my contacts in gmail, which automatically syncs to my phone. Airdroid is a neat app that lets you manage stuff on your phone through a PC that is connected to the same network. Evernote, quickpic, photoeditor, titanium backup, and google drive are a few apps I always install.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] brandoramo:
All Star Devs or Jedi Knight Roms. I ran Slim Bean for a little bit, but the bugs, as insignificant as they may seemed, would occur too frequently. I'm currently testing out Jumping JellyBeans and lets just say I'll be flashing back to Jedi Knight this evening. Good luck on your ROM Quest.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] refyused:
Yeah I rooted it but it still doesn't function entirely the way I want it to.

In using this phone for a couple weeks now, one BIG complaint I have is the clock & weather widget on my Evo allowed me to check the weather OR change thje time/date/alarm simply by clicking it...unless I'm blind, the SG2 didn't even come with an alarm clock, let alone a way to click the clock widget and edit alarms.

Is there anything like that for the SG2? And yes, I do need to do more research and find out what's out there...which is kinda why I'm asking here instead of spending countless hours which I don't have, reading through tons of forums and trying tons of bunk apps. Anyway, thanks for the advice, it's been helpful so far!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mavblues:
Same here - I need Wifi Calling.

What Rom are you running? I'm still on Darkside Evolution 3.8 (Andoid 4.0.3)

I've been looking for something a little more current, but haven't been able to find anything that has Wifi Calling. :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Mr. bird:
Evolution is still a good Rom. I have recently gone back to stock cause my phone has been acting up since it went for a swim but I was using jedi knight and jedi mind trick.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] conyeje2:
You could always flash a better rom that is newer, like others have suggested. Any rom with ICS or above will have a clock that allows you to tap the widget and get the alarm, and can display the weather below it. If you're looking for a fully loaded rom, "PACman" (see the link in my signature at the bottom of this post) is the way to go. It it 3 roms built into one, "Paranoid Android, AOKP, Cyanogen Mod". I literally bought my SGSII just to be able to use the PACrom, (I came from a Tmobile MyTouch 4G (Doubleshot) which didn't have a working PACman rom link, so far as my patience to find one allowed).

Other options are to install a new launcher for your phone, like the "Go Launcher" from the play store, or an htc clock widget from the playstore or online. Either of the 2 will instantly provide you with your clock and weather settings.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mavblues:
I have world weather clock widget on my lockscreen. Has weather and time. I think there might be a way to configure it to set alarms, but I'm not sure. I don't really ever set alarms on my phone.

Plugin USB cable in your Nexus and :

go-mtpfs -allow-other=true /media/nexus4/

What's the real 411 on the Note 2?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] moabizzi:
Cheap plastic cover still there, but if you have a case, you can't tell. Dev support is awesome for the device, the dev teams are actually very prompt in helping and replying. People use my note 2 and fall in love with it. The screen size is great for watching videos and editing word documents. It feels good in the hands contrary to what people may think.

Then they say how it cant be perfected because every android phone is different from one another and how apple phones are optimized cause theyre all the same. I tell em another historical figure wanted everything the same type....... His name was hitler... Look what happened to him. They give typical uneducated responses and eventually become quiet.
