[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sami Kabir:
I don't think that's possible... and even if it is possible then it will obviously require a lot of modding and editing of God knows how many files.... :cowboy: :silly:

I love and use Nova; because its simply the best! (according to me)

Have you tried launchers like Apex Launcher, Nova Launcher, Holo Launcher, Buzz Launcher, Next Launcher, TSF Shell, Atom Launcher, Go Launcher, ADW Launcher or the Stock 4.2 browser??

(hope I get a thanks for this, because I seriously searched and typed all the popular launchers from Google Play :p)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeroenvk94:
Lol you didn't really help ME in particular but thanks for the reasearch :p you earned it man!

But to get back to the topic: custom launchers are the only way I guess. No one has discoverd this yet. But I think it can be done with a lot of file editing and modding.

I wish you very good luck haha
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sami Kabir:
yeah dude, its embarrassing to ask for "thanks" without really helping :p

anyways getting back to topic, what is it that you hate in other launchers and like it in the TouchWiz launcher? I mean TouchWiz launcher is laggy sometimes (in transitions, page scrolling, etc.).. it is buggy sometimes (if you have an app in your external sd card, then after rebooting, the icon shifts its position to the end of the very last page).. etc.

On the other hand, custom launchers like Apex or Nova are really customizable; you can literally modify its settings to your preferences... :D
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] highmage:
I've even uninstalled Touchwiz with Titanium Backup, after installed Nova! :)

[LG Optimus G (International)] lazkopat_6144:
I know little english so excuse me wrongs.:rolleyes:

I am turkish and I am using lg optimus g. I send lg mail for camera software update because this phone's camera terrible because of camera software.

If you support, maybe lg take us seriously and publish new update.:confused:

Dear Sir/Madam,

LG Optimus G which has still been the one of your most powerful phones is better than other phones in many ways. Unfortunately,

the 13MP camera of the phone is not close to what you said about it and what I expect. It seems that many of other phones with

8MP camera give best results when we compare them. I think that this problem happens because of the software on the phone.Thus I

request an update for the camera of LG Optimus G phones which I also have one of them. I'm sure that many other Optimus G users

also agree with me. Finally, this update will solve the confidence problems with customers about updates.

Please don't forget that Optimus G has a huge customer numbers.

Best regards.
[LG Optimus G (International)] chadouming:
They won't update the camera firmware cause they don't give a crap. It's already good if we get 4.2 one day.
[LG Optimus G (International)] lazkopat_6144:
Maybe they will, we have to try.
[LG Optimus G (International)] hasan4791:
The reply yu ll gt frm them is...

Dear customer

Thank you for your valuable feedback and we have forwarded the issue to the concerned department.
[LG Optimus G (International)] George Jetson:
It's better than doing nothing. I sended e-mail too.:good:
[LG Optimus G (International)] hasan4791:
I had sent lots of mail to those people but still they didn't reply me fr some of those...!!
[LG Optimus G (International)] t1mman:
Great idea, getting them to know is step one, flooding them is the next step!

I have already sent them a couples of emails concerning this, I intend to call them eventually (when I get the time)

Anyway, great idea, we sould all follow it and get LG to aknowledge this.
[LG Optimus G (International)] zaakirr:
There seems a software bug on camera app regarding its color reproduction. But I find that if scene mode is switched to sunset the pic quality and the contrast levels are enhanced considerably.... I select sunset mode everytime and the results are far better.....

Why not making petition ?

Optimus 4X petition to unlock bootloader, and it success

Petition
[LG Optimus G (International)] t1mman:
A petition is a "passive" way, you don't "disturb" the company and, if they don't care, they still won't!

Email is affectig their staff, their servers, their ressources, they HAVE to react somehow.

Kinda like if you had a noisy car. If you'd have a letter from the "council of neibourg" that "advise" you that the neiboughood didn't liked it, it wouldn't have the same impact as if your neibourgs would go knocking on your door, isn't it?

Also, I was working for a software company some time ago. Most of the rep didn't care to "fix an issue" unless the issue was a "known". If only a couple of instances was occuring "now and then"' it was not treated the same way as if the lines where "flooded" by an issue.

I say flood 'em! Send 'em e-mails, call them, write on their facebook page, get them to know and act.
[LG Optimus G (International)] goodmamba:
Petitions works even with LG!

I also own a Lg Optimus 2X, the infamous Tegra 2, first dual core phone.

The huge O2X community made an excellent lobby on every field and finally O2X got the long awaited ICS update.

I remember the hate posts on the LG facebook page, the "I will never buy an LG product" headlines on all the O2X fan blogs.

The request was so loud that even GSMarena noticed it. I must say that the protest was nicely coordinated on the XDA forum and it was, in the end, a huge success for all the LG owners.

I myself involved the Consumer Protection Agency in my country to inspect the false LG claims of "Always updated" of the O2X ad campaign and product packaging.

Never underestimate the crowd power.

Hello there,

I noticed that my battery really doesn't last long. It's been 100% full and now, 4 1/2 hours later, there are only 6% left. The weird thing about that is that I did not really used it during that time. WLAN has been turned on over that time, display was really dark, no backlight notifications or anything. Has anyone any idea how to fix this? (LG P940)
[General Questions and Answers] sralli:
can you give more info

can you give more info? info like- which android, how many mah (ex: 2000,1000). give that and i may be able to help you,...
[General Questions and Answers] CookieMonzter:
Would be really awesome! Android version is 4.2.2, battery has about 1500mah (think it's 1540) and I'm using the cyanogenmod kernel. Do you need any more information?
[General Questions and Answers] pr0xZen:
Thats not really much of a battery for the hardware,.. how old is it? Is this a recent problem, and when did you flash to CyanogenMod ?

To me it sounds like something is draining the battery pretty hard. Is the Wi-fi signal stable? Any processes under Apps>All, using excessive memory?
[General Questions and Answers] tjeerdo112:
To me it sounds like you are having wifi/gps/bluetooth on all time, and if not, you should close ALL apps next time. Some running apps on your background could even drown your battery from 100% to 0% in less than 2 hours. Big apps or games cause the most trouble :)

Greetings,
[General Questions and Answers] BombinBasta:
If this phone/battery is more than one and half year old, this could be just battery dying, like mine (LG P920, 2 years old, 1500mAh) is dying right now.

It can't last more than 6 hours lately, so i bought a new one.

A li-ion battery (standard models) just can handle frome 300 to 500 charging cycles, thus if tou charge your phone every day, battery life has about 18 months lifetime.

After, it just dies, more or less slowly.
[General Questions and Answers] CookieMonzter:
Thank you all so far.

Bought the phone 1/2 year ago so this can't really be the problem. The battery has never been great but got worse about a month ago. I flashed it about 2 weeks ago and this didn't seem to influence the battery.

I always keep GPS and Bluetooth turned off (only turning GPS on when I go running, but I never noticed that this influences the battery either) and Wi-fi is pretty stable. As I heard that Wi-fi is really bad for the battery I tried turning it off as much as possible and so far it seems a bit better.

I also took a look at how much memory the apps use and saw that Facebook, Kingsoft Office and Whatsapp really need a lot. I think I will uninstall Facebook and KS Office then and see if this helps.
[General Questions and Answers] BombinBasta:
I presume you bought it new ("and sealed")?
[General Questions and Answers] dewzilla:
Maps used to be a big problem for me running in the background. See which apps use Maps.
[General Questions and Answers] CookieMonzter:
Yep, I got it completely new.

Okay, I'll check that, thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] Algina:
Also problem with battery

I had a similar problem, my battery got "sick" after I used my phone as a GPS during 2 or 3 days. the phone was quit warm during the navigation. After that The battery life was reduced from around a day to 9-10 hours. In addition when battery is around 20%, the phone just shut down due low-battery and as soon I turn it on, as soon it turns off!

The solution was to buy a new battery, but that is odd that using the phone as GPS navigator damages the battery so badly!

Btw, my phone is a HTC desire w/ Android 4.2
[General Questions and Answers] sralli:
yah now i may be able to help you, download the antutu battery saver app from google (it requires root) it is a really good app and helped he last

[Galaxy Note II General] anonymous572:
1. More free RAM and faster optimization (no lag at all).

Real project butter without Touchwiz decrease. Much more free RAM available.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKWWgJj3WSE

2. Settings, options and great interface.

Stock android roms have more options than Touchwiz. AOSP roms have a very huge number of options. Touchwiz interface is a failed clone of old gingerbread android interface.

3. No stupid over 50 system undeletables apps.

Touchwiz roms are full of unnecessary and useless apps (above 200MB-300MB). Many samsung services draining your battery very much. You cant delete Dropbox services it is integrated to your device with Touchwiz rom.

4. Great Lockscreen.

Touchwiz ripped great original customizable Android lockscreen.

5. Better notification panel.

Stock Android notification panel has more options, works smoother and faster.

But most importantly - you will get Android updates much faster, than TouchWiz roms.

And by the way S Pen in CM:

[Galaxy Note II General] darwinwin:
Do aosp roms fully support spen now? like screen shots and screen crop/ share directly? If yes I'm downloading tonight
[Galaxy Note II General] Simone:
I see. Good for you.
[Galaxy Note II General] Kremata:
Much more?? I'm using 422mb with 1.3G free RAM, How much more can you have? Or how much more do you need?

(On a phone with 2G of RAM even if the ROM is using 900mb it's not an issue)

AOSP don't have more options but different options. AOSP don't have all the motions, security, S-pen, voice controlled apps etc...

I can agree with this one but why would you want to delete dropbox? My wife lost her S3 and thanks to Dropbox all her pictures where saved(just set it to run on wifi only)

I don't think I will choose my ROM based on the lock screen

Man I hate this panel that takes all the screen and you have to tap the small button in the corner. The line up toggle style of TW is much more efficient.

CM? I thought you where talking about Original Android ROM

Five reasons why I love TouchWiz over stock Android
[Galaxy Note II General] zkyevolved:
I know a lot of people prefer pure android, I guess I would too if I had a Nexus device. But I love so many features thanks to Touchwiz like the Spen functionality, and the page buddy for when I plug in my headphones. I also appreciate some of their widgets. I use Nova Launcher most of the time now though and I have to say... I still love it ^.^
[Galaxy Note II General] muppetmania:
I'd love stock Android as well. Stock is much nicer to look at.

But, good luck with:

S-Pen Support

100% Reliable RILD Communications

HDMI Support

All Share Cast Support

Reliable Bluetooth Support

Reliable Audio Support (People can't hear you, you're too quiet etc)

I mean no disrespect at all to the developers. The only reason those things don't work are because they're closed source and Samsung are less than helpful with getting them working properly.

I use the HDMI. I use all All Share Cast dongle. I have a bluetooth headset I use all the time and for business I can't be stuffing about with "Can you hear me? Can you hear me now?"

And really, RAM? That's a reason? The phone has 2GB, even with all the "bloatware" as people like to call it, it's got plenty of memory free.

The days of even needing root are nearly gone. I haven't rooted my phone, not because I don't know how, but because I really can't see the point. There's no compelling app that needs it anymore for me.

But yes, I agree with points 2-5. I wish the Note 2 had support for the above list items but without all the additional crap. That'd be perfect.

[Galaxy Note II General] xdapao3:
One reason I like, prefer and use TW ROMs over custom ones: FEATURES.

This is also the same reason (plus speed) why I use Nova Launcher Prime instead of the TW launcher (don't confuse the whole TW ROM with the TW launcher).
[Galaxy Note II General] D3_:
In most AOSP/CM based ROMs you can set it so swiping down the notification bar from one side of the screen brings notifications down by default, and the other side brings down this quick settings screen.

Also, a lot of the AOSP/CM based ROMs allow you to disable the quick settings screen and have normal power toggles in the notification drawer.

I'm more of a fan of quick settings, no need to scroll for options if you have more than 5 or so toggles like in stock touchwiz (which makes it less efficient), they all stay large enough to be easy to press (unlike if you use something like sf to put more toggles in without scrolling in touchwiz), and they're more customisable (a few AOSP/CM based ROMs have the option for custom toggles which you can set to do damn near anything)
[Galaxy Note II General] tomixdev:
i have a galaxy nexus and it's just boring. the holo look, no customization, no cool functions like touchwiz roms have.. a nexus running stock rom is just boring. a galaxy phone with stock rom is amazing. thats why i bought a note 2 and im completely satisfied with this one.

:good:
[Galaxy Note II General] tuxonhtc:
Almost all of those "issues" are easily solvable with root+custom ROMs. I don't see what the big deal is. Even if I get a Nexus device, sure as hell I'd root it and mod it - don't know about you.

On the plus side - Touchwiz offers a LOT of functionality that stock doesn't. I use almost most of those. And S Pen integration with touchwiz is way better than that with AOSP ROMs (not the devs fault, appreciate them working hard and everything).

For eg - say I get Polaris Office (best office suit on any mobile platform I've used), S Note, quick screenshot, air view etc on Touchwiz which I use from time to time. Stock video player is incredible with it's support of almost any format I could think of. I could go on - but just throwing in a few eg. even if we're talking unrooted, pure stock.
[Galaxy Note II General] D3_:
There's an alpha build of CarbonRom available in the original android development section with HALO functionality. It's still buggy as it's an alpha build but it's easily useable.

I know but, again its in its Alpha stages i will wait for the PA Halo sources to come out and then,,Let the games begin.
[Galaxy Note II General] Alexsandra:
But you can't use full feature of s-pen. That's the reason why I still use Samsung rom.
[Galaxy Note II General] adytum:
The only thing I wholeheartedly agree with in the first post, is that stock touchwiz looks like a horrible gingerbread design. Though it's the easiest thing in the world to change if you have root.

Off topic question: does anyone know what the status is today on the s pen trigger functionality in non-touchwiz roms? Is it possible to replace the quick note popping up upon removal of the pen?
[Galaxy Note II General] CrimzonEyed:
I use both stock and AOSP with dual boot.

Problem solved.
[Galaxy Note II General] bushako:
Its not available on aosp but you can get that feature by installing GMD Spen app. You can customize it to open any app upon removal of the Spen and even create gestures.

l always used AOSP Roms on my old S2' But Noto 2 Roms has Some great features that i won't trade with anything from Aosp, Say for S Note or hand write recognition keyboard.(both best in market)

l don't see why people worries about RAM consumption. Android has a great RAM management. even on tiny RAM of S2 l always had a 100mb+ of RAM.N. matter what I was running.

The only downside of TW is That it's so big. l thing they designed itto people with serious vision problems. huge elements,bold fonts, ...

P.S. in Aosp Roms, I always use TW-Like themes.:D
