I like it. Almost everything is better on the Note 4 to varying degrees. If the Note 4 was a little bigger, i.e. 5.9" to 6" I would have preordered the preorder! I agree the multiwindow is improved as you can tap on an app in the side tray and it opens as a floating window. I think that feature came and went and is back again. Also if you go full screen with an app you can swipe diagonally from the upper right hand corner and resize the app to make is smaller again. I wish that Samsung had made it such that when you minimize an app it, instead of making a little disc icon on the screen, listed the app in the notification panel. Then you could simply go back and forth using the notification panel (some apps like terminal emulator do this by default). This would enhance multitasking considerably. Plus the circle icons of the minimized app just add clutter to the screen. Perhaps an xposed module could be made to incorporate this type of feature. One more thing, folks in the Note 4 forums have noticed that ART is enabled. Be interesting to see how much performance is improved using ART. If I do buy the Note 4 it would probably be in November as I still want to see how things shake out with the other devices. But I always have to remind myself what features I will lose if I do switch make. So, for now, I'm good.

Themers will find a way TD....im not so much worried about that part. The S5 also is all qmgs and they are replacing all the qmgs with pngs to be able to theme the apks. Very time consuming stuff but guys like loco, wally, chris, sick, etc.... im sure will crack it. I really wanna play with the Edge though
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] catchjeff:
+1 About the Edge. I was thinking this idea up a few years ago to has a screen on the side of the phone versus the hardware keys. Thought it would be a cool idea and now it is here sort of. I really want to play with the Edge and the only bummer I can see right now is the smaller screen. The bummer with the Edge is the .2 inche difference will be noticable after having had the N3 in my hands for so long.

+1 on the comment about needing something special to get the N3 out of my hands hence the first comment. This phone, N3, is the longest phone I have had in use to date without switching because something better came out or I wanted to try something different. With Tweaked ROM and the N3 hardware to me there is no reason to get any other phone.

I have been running 3.8 since it came out and have not had one issue with it so far running stock kernal. I start to have issues with other kernals though so I am sticking with stock kernal for now.

I hear you guys about the multiwindows but I find my self using the penwindows now a lot more. I used to use mw a lot but the pw you can open as many as you need size them to whatever and minimize them. Unless I'm missing something (which I probably am) I'd rather have the pw than mw of I had to choose.

Not yet, this is still in the testing phase; we're the ones testing it. Not all of the options in TSM Parts are fully available, but I imaging they will be eventually.

The live wallpaper crash happens on stock roms and international phones as well. If you switch back to the normal Touchwiz Home launcher, it should work. If you got it to work on Nova... ummm... nice.. No idea how. I never have been able to. Even on bone stock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jahnbodah:
Yep, nova launcher wont do it, I went to settings and tried to do it through display, still didnt do it, switched to touchwiz home, and had no issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] deeznutz1977:
It wouldn't work on nova .... But it always has on apex. :)

Color add-ons for my theme are ready :D Also made the transparent statusbar mods specifically for tweaked.

There's too many links to post, so I'll just post the link to my Tweaked folder on sourceforge.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/note3900t/files/Tweaked/

The colors folder contains the color add-ons

The mod folder contains the transparent statusbar mods for tweaked

The no trans folder contains the mods to remove system transparency for each color.

For those that have not flashed my theme and are not familiar with it, you must first flash the main theme before flashing the color add-ons.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] deeznutz1977:
Wait till it's actually tweaked™ to the full extent ... You'll never leave.. Well you might, but Trust and believe.. It will be your daily driver. Especially if your happy with it now
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] slice2011:

I noticed a little bit more battery drain on Alpha 2 as oppose to Alpha 1. Anyone else notice. I havent changed anything else, besides dirty flashing 2. I havent looked into it yet either but it may have something to do with bloat as Alpha 1 I had pretty debloated and havent really started to do so on 2 yet.

Google Now is telling me I have no cards...when I actually do! WTH man?! This seems to happen 90% of the day.

Anyone else getting this? the menu soft button double tap to open Google Now isn't working, but I can go through S Voice.

Just seeing if anyone else is getting this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dwitherell:
Hey all - bunches of feedback (thanks!), so figured I would chime in a little :)

- In TSMParts - if it's enabled (meaning not greyed out so you can click on it and all that), it works. This does include the finger ink stuff.

- I had no clue LiveWallpapers were an issue -- there are only 2 I think that come w/ the stock rom, and (using stock launcher) both of those applied just fine for me anyway. That being said - logcats are good, so lemme see em when you get them!

- Battery drain differences... not sure what to make of that, especially w/ what differed between those two. I've yet to pin down anything I typically do to altering battery life in either direction, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen... I just don't know about it is all lol - so keep me posted. In my experience these things go through fluctuations to a rhyme and reason beyond my grasp, but issues tend to fade as fast (and as randomly) as they appear. 4.3 is all-new territory for me though, so perhaps some relic of an approach I use could make waves... who knows lol. Sort of a long-winded way of saying keep me in the loop, but I haven't noticed any differences at any stage of the process from bloated odexed unrooted to now (feels right to point out that it's hard to see what you don't try to look for though).

Carry on :)

Oh - and thanks for all the work already put in [MENTION=4304825]foreverloco[/MENTION] - much appreciated!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] deeznutz1977:
My Google now shows cards. Long press menu for Google now (from tsm) works... Double tap menu doesn't though..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dwitherell:
Theres a menu longpress option - the double-press was for home and that had the option of then being directed to svoice or voice search. If using the stock launcher you can also set it to upswipe to google now fwiw (all of these things seem to be working for me at the moment anyway).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] slice2011:
I got 5 hrs screen time today 12hrs of charger, I usually get 8 with min 7hrs. This is all data, sync, location, etc on.. Going to cycle 1 day see what it does as usually a couple is needed. But I'm scratching my head at this one, my connection is slow, I have lte on and Max bars but getting less that 5mb on speed test all day, maybe on tmo side thought I would let you know. Regardless, it is alpha and bad ass at that. ..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dwitherell:
Ok - apologies on asking for clarification here, but the 5 hrs screen on 12 hrs charger and 8 w/ 7hrs - I'm not sure how to interpret these values. I assume that means its bad then, yes?

The connection thing I've heard reports of, but those also tend to pop up and fade - usually attributed to TMo doing something. In theory nothing should influence (for better or for worse) data speeds w/ this.

One last note - I call this an alpha as it's not done to where I want it to be. Performance is never something I try to implement/include/augment/influence, so outside of what you would see on a stock rom in terms of differences based on debloating, nothing in that category will change from this to whatever I end up posting officially. All I'm trying to do is add in some features/options related to SystemUI - everything else is pretty much done. Not sure what I'm going to do for packaging and what not yet, but realistically performance/data speeds/battery shouldn't change... emphasis on the shouldn't part of course. Gotta admit, the smattering of problem reports is worrisome (though of course appreciated)... hopefully time will cure most of the issues :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Warrior1975:
I wouldn't sweat it, I'm sure this will be amazing, like everything else Dwith does. On that note, 6 hours of screen time on Tweaked, is better than XXX hours of any other ROM.

Now that with a touch of Dwith and Foreverloco and we talkin
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mscion:
I agree with you about the multiwindows. I bascially make floating windows (essentially the same as pen windows) but I don't launch them from the pen window manager. I launch them from shortcuts I've set up on the screen or a side launcher that you can make shortcuts on (like Unity launcher). The Note 4 side launcher allows you to launch apps as a floating window (penwindow) or in the dual window grid (which I don't use much). In regards to pen windows or floating windows, if you decide to make the window full screen by pressing the box (with the two arrows) next to the X used for closing the app, you cannot directly go back to a floating window. You have to restart the app. But on the GN4 you can directly make the app that is in full screen smaller again. This can come in handy. Don't particularly like how that minimization is done but I've already mentioned that.

So here is a question for anyone to chime in on.

If you were going to switch from the GN3 to, say, the Nexus X what feature would you miss most and would it be possible to at least partially replace it with a third party app. For example, maybe you like drawing with the spen. You could buy a stylus and use a drawing app like SketchBook. One the otherhand I also like floating window capability for any app. Is there a way to do this on a non Samsung device?

EDIT:eek:ops. I think SketchBook is a Samsung app so replace it with your favorite nonSamsung drawing app!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sshafranko:
Yea mscion I used TSM hard key settings and I have it set up to where a douple press of the home key opens PW for me. Once one is open and say I want to open another, I douple press home key again and boom another is open. Simple, seamless and very useful.

As for what option I would miss from a note to a nexus, I believe it would have to be the Spen. I cant think of any feature that Note has that would not be possible on Nexus othe than the Pen. I use the Spen a lot. Recently I have gotten a costumed to writing out my emails and texts with the Spen and I like it. I also like scrolling with it and I love airview. Great for taking screenies and editing photos. For me it would be the Spen for sure. I just really wish they would incorporate some type of spring mechanism where it is spring loaded and you push the pen in a bit and it springs out and vice versa. I hate the way you have to pry the pen out with your nails. Such a prehistoric way of doing it. I'm pretty sure that some type of multi windows is achievable on the Nexus but not positive on that. If not that would probably be a deal breaker for me. I use it very often. Ill have to look into that now I'm curious. The missing external SD card bothered me for a while but ability to purchase the Nex with 128gigs of internal took care of that issue, for me anyway.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sshafranko:
On another note, if I do end up going with the new N4, I am going to contribute as much as can to Dwitherel for his N4 (assuming he goes with it also), because I have been a religious user of Tweaked on all my phones, and I beleive that the dev, especially one as humble, as good, and as helpful as Dwitherell should not have to pay for his phone, I beleive its the least we can do, and I believe that it will to a certain extent ensure that a N4 Tweaked 1.0 will exist. With that said, I will absolutely donate and hopefully others feel the same way.

Im pretty sure that he has received one or more donations for the N4 fund so far, and if any of you are interested in doing so just hit the web view if your on xda app, talpatalk, donate button in his avatar, and make a note of it that it is for the Note 4 fund. Ill keep in touch with him and let everyone know how much has been donated and obviously fron that we can tell how much more is needed to purchase the phone. My decision in purchasing the N4 will depend on if I can sell two phones that I currently own, and if I can, which im almost 100% positive I can, my donation to the N4 fund will be 100. Hope you guys join me in this endeavor, even if you can spare 5 bucks it would be awesome.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mscion:
Nice idea to set double press the home key to open PW! After reading your post I also tried SS Launcher to set double tap on screen to open PW. This is convenient to launch apps unless an app is open full screen or there is a lot of floating clutter! They only thing I'm not happy about using PW is that it has always been a bit laggy for me when opening so I prefer to make a short cut on screen for a floating app I use alot or use the unity side launcher which like PW can allow me to open floating apps over a full screen app that is opened and is faster than PW.

I like the spen for writing long texts and email too. But for short notes or texts I just stick with swype. Regardless, Samsung has done a great job in writing recognition. Don't know of any app that can replace that feature.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sshafranko:
[MENTION=4190053]mscion[/MENTION], thats a cool idea too. After reading your post while in talpatalk, I double pressed home and it took about 1 second to open pw on top of tapatalk. Your right about it being a bit slow, but for me its weird sometimes its quick and other times its like it has to think about it for 2 seconds before it opens lol. Doesnt bother me tho, its still much faster and less steps I think than opening mw. I also have the pw launch widgets, and I use LMT Pie, so I guess I could set up a button on pie to open pw too using one of the shortcuts...hmm
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sshafranko:
Mscion I forgot to mention I love using the swipe feature with the spen instead of my finger. I can actually see the letters a lot easier because my fat thumb is not covering half of the keyboard. Try it you may like it too
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] cuezaireekaa:
I can't find it?

I long press on nova home screen and pick shortcut and I don't see it. and I'm not sure where it would be if its under shortcut/activities for nova either.

I was also gonna try mapping it with a menu double press with gravitybox but again don't know where to look.

Great ideas btw
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sshafranko:
[MENTION=308722]CUE[/MENTION]za.....im sorry I didnt mention that I've been using Xperiacle's PW app since he made it. Awesome app, it gives you the ability to use all of your apps in the pw mode instead of only the default ones plus it gives you the shortcuts. Its on the playstore but ive had it for so long I forgot if its paid or not . Sry about that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] cuezaireekaa:
Oh OK cool, I bought that a long time ago, I think on note 2 maybe? Anyway, sweet, it's in titanium. Thanks potna
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mscion:
Well, to the chagrin of a salesperson at bestbuy I enabled ART on the GN4. After it rebooted and compiled all the software. (about 5 to 10 minutes) I checked out its performance. As far as I could tell it did not seem to make any difference. If anything the apps might have opened more slowly. Anyways, that was my experience...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sshafranko:
Thats strange. You can tell the difference on my wife's S5. I posted a video of it when I first got the phone on you tube so you guys could see it. It was pretty noticable and In theory it should be but you know how the n3 is,, everything varies so much between phones, maybe you had a lemon?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mscion:
Yes. I had seen your video and was looking forward to seeing what would happen with the Note 4. As is, the Note 4 is already very smooth so not sure how ART would improve that anyways. Maybe it would help in other applications or gaming. Perhaps some others can try and report their experience.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sshafranko:
I honestly forgot to test that. I may go back to BB tomorrow and look over the phone a littke closer. For me tho Art is not really important or something that would make or brake my decision. I beleive the rom has to be Odexed to run Art and I also beleive theming of .Apks is not possible or very difficult so I would be deodexed and artless anyway, given the choise. But yea not noticing a difference may not be a bad thing. At least we know that if Dalvik eventually turns to Art for good it will run as good if not better than Dalvik.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mscion:
Well, it looks like the Nexus X is becoming more and more a reality...

http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2014/10...f-a-phone-will-make-splash-in-phablet-market/

So now my options are 1) Note 4, 2) Nexus X, 3)Stay pat, or, 4) Other.

I think that covers all options. lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sshafranko:
Yea i kind of decided on the note 4, but it's penciled in for now. Only thing holding me back is the X. It's a beast of a phone, i think best Nexus to date for sure and being released with L. I wonder what the price is going to be. It's just so hard for me personally to get away from Samsung being that I've had some version of a samsung phone for around 5 years now, been happy with them in most aspects, and i have a samsung smart tv. Check out these specs. ..

I honestly want to know why people would want to upgrade to any current phone. Quad HD is more of a drawback (battery drain for pixels your eye can't even see) and if it's a better camera you want, no phone in dark lighting can do what a professional camera does. From the snapdragon 800 soc on, any phone can multitask and game as well as any other. From now on, we need better software. The hardware is already too far ahead. Don't fall into the "newest thing" trap. Unless you have T-Mobile jump, I suppose. If you're on XDA, you know our software will keep getting boosted with or without OTA updates. I say hold the course until they produce a product that actually makes you gonna "wow". The 3 gigs of ram in the note 3 did that for me. By buying these token upgrades from phone providers, you send the message that yes, we will pay for anything. Don't rush that innovation. My 2 cents
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sshafranko:
[MENTION=5260988]Opensystem[/MENTION]....i agree completely with your reasoning. I have 2 problems that make me want the note 4: (and i say problems beacause these 2 things are about to make me spend $500, and thats a ptoblem for me right now) One is i beleive the note 4 is not a wow factor at all, but it is everything that the note 3 should have been, and two i am such a sucker mainly in the phone department when it comes to the"newest thing". I admit
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Opensystem:
You're smarter than that lol ;). I got a lotta respect for you on here, so I can understand and sympathize with that "shiny new" mentality. It all depends at the end of the day on your payscale, and if I had a couple grand extra I might check out the edge. But I'm supremely happy with this phone, tweaked the way it is, and I don't see it ever needing an upgrade until software changes force it. If you do get the 4, be sure to let me know what you think. I'd definitely be curious for your input
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jazzmachine:
Guys, this article completely clarified pretty much every confusing aspect re: the Note 4 specs, particularly, the difference between variants (spoiler: US customers didn't get as screwed as is seems based solely on chipset, just a bit screwed). I don't want to say anything else about the article expect that based on the objective info in the article, I disagreed with their last paragraph conclusion / recommendation 100%. IMO, this should be req. reading to make an informed decision if you're even considering the Note 4, or even feel like you're ready to be "done" with your Note 3 :)
