If you want aokp and aosp but still want s-pen use, i recommend the app called Handy Note by appbody. It's only $1. Otjerwise install any tw rom and switch launcher.

I'm still on omega v4 and happy so far. A little tired to get into flashoholism.

Others have recommended monxdified, which will be next on my list when I get to it.

IMHO, PA is suitable to play on screens 7" and larger. I feel there's no point to mucking about with Phablet/Tablet mode on a screen of our size.

On a 7" device, it makes a difference coz you can force the app to increase the display area significantly. I have a 7" device and I forced Nova launcher to enable tablet mode for more icons. If you did this on 5.5", you will get a very cramped screen and tiny icons.

My what sharp eyes you have.....

Haha Samsung thinks they are the equivalent of crApple now.... oh, they have actually bested crApple....

Happens to me also. When you make payment, sometimes you will get a notice saying "Your institution may impose additional charges for this transaction." I get this on some purchases.

When you see that message, it's likely you have the additional RM1 charge.

No, it happens when making Play Store purchases via my credit card. I got a couple of these messages even for the $0.25 sale in September. There were some additional RM1 charges.

I got an RM1 fee when I registered for Paypal as well.

4 days busy, and the thread is almost full. Pretty amazing N2 forum is still going at approx 20 pages per day, 1 thread a week. Should be a chart topper.

Kids nowadays....yeah.... well mine will earn their own keep.


I think in v3 or v4 I posted a link to a Delsey belt pouch with extra loops. I use it on my belt. It's just slightly larger than N2 and has extra compartments for me to keep coins, keys, USB cable etc. Damn useful.


OMG hahaha....I used to own gamebooks and play lots of pen and paper RPGs.... now it's all electronic. Can't beat the camarederie of an RPG session though.

Just download Onavo or My Data Manager to give you up to the minute stats and even throttle your data when you hit a certain limit. Even the stock data usage monitor allows you to do that. On Maxis, you get sms notification when you hit 80%. After that, it's RM0.30/mb, so it's still bearable. Well, you have free tools, use the apps above to help you.


Citibank and Paypal are offering some proxy address in the US if you signup. Then you can bulk ship all your stuff at one go when you have all your orders. Haven't tried it yet.


Use greader free....damn good feed reader, WITH a built in browser...hahaha the other way around for you. The built in browser lets you read more detail of the feed you click on. Highly intuitive.


This camera sound thing was discussed back in xda Note1 forum. It seems the focus sound is built into the camera app itself as some sort of digital tone, so it can't be turned off without a hacked camera apk.


Well, in computer architecture, you can have dirty bits, dirty caches, and you can flush a dirty cache..... and also sleep states, wait states, hits, misses, Big Endians, Little Endians, Big.Little (A15 !!!!) ....

Still on Omega 4.0. Reading on rom experiences and looking out for near stock experience.

Apple kbd and mouse !!! I have never been a fruit user and abhor its policies. I have read that crApple products speak a crApple dialect of Bluetooth, so you need a pricier, "works with crApple" certification. Can anyone verify?

At any rate, our Note 2 seems to speak this dialect as well since it can connect to those items. Truly universal indeed.

It would have been better that the uploader demoed some use of remote access apps like Splashtop or Jump Desktop etc. This will really show it as a desktop replacement.

Added on November 24, 2012, 4:43 pmThe MHL cable has already occupied the USB slot, so you need a BT kbd and mouse to do this. A Unifying receiver is a USB dongle itself.
I believe this would work if you used the multimedia stand with USB and HDMI out.

I don't seem to see many people on Note2core.

When I had my Note1, Notecore was, IMHO, the best kernel with stock stability and good OC. I was using one of his OC kernels for months.

Appreciate more feedback on Note2core from users.

Thanks.

only an SQLite reader is required to look at the Google Account data.

Uh, yeah, if someone with malicious intent finds and loads up your S-Note sqlite file.

Just like someone can crack your SIM card security in 5mins if they get their hands on it.

However, xda devs are typically responsible people who don't do such stuff. If they did, the other devs would immediately have notified everyone else.
If you sideload an *ehem* apk, well, better be sure of the app permissions.

With great power comes great responsibility.

Or just trust whatever some fruit logo-ed company tells you is best for you.

From the xda thread, monx should be uploading his updated 4.1.2 on monday due to speed issues. I would give that a spin with Note2core.

Bro don't see his 01-02 link yet. He's got the details loaded, but the rom dl link is not there yet. I just refreshed the page.

So wanna bet the stock ROM for Note3 is going to hit 1.5Gb minimum ? The default sizes for Nexus 4 and Nexus 10 might indicate something.

monx or other ROM? I think you mentioned ARHD+redpill rite? Too many posts...

I find that stuff on xxx.softonic.com tends to be problematic ie too many popups on the site and it gives a rather shady feel.

crap + apple = crapple

User fik92 sells Kucipa casing. I got one from him. Soft TPU type with earphone and usb plugs, keeps dust out.

Download polaris office from Samsung App store. Does ok as a reader.

Otherwise, ezPDF is best. I got it during the 25c sale. It allows the S-Pen to be used for annotations, best damned feature for Note/Note2.

In ezpdf, there is a setting to do this. In polaris I don't know. I prefer to turn it off and just have immediate page transitions.
