Tim Cook: "Sed et si ambulavero in valle mortis non timebo malum" .... hahahahaha

Chilling deja vu as Apple starts to echo Nokia circa 2007

For those who followed Nokia closely in the past decade, some of Tim Cook’s comments are starting to trigger a weird sense of dislocation. “Our competitors have made some significant tradeoffs in many of these areas to ship a larger display. We would not ship a larger display iPhone while these tradeoffs exist.” Is this Apple’s CEO in 2013 or Nokia’s CEO in 2007? The strongest parallel is in the weird way both companies started fighting the consumer preference for larger displays at the peak of their profitability… and then dug in as margins began eroding rapidly.

Apple’s gross margins peaked in early 2012, just when Samsung’s Galaxy Note concept of a smartphone equipped with a jumbo-sized display was taking off. It soon bred a litter of copycats. By early 2013, the iPhone’s average sales price and margins were dropping fast as many premium buyers flocked to models with 4.5- to 6-inch screens. Apple grudgingly expanded the iPhone screen size to 4 inches last fall, probably one to two years after it should have made the move. But larger phablets are already likely to make up more than 15% of smartphone market in 2013.

We try not to flame any partocular brands. We at note 2 android we stick the discussion here la. If i see thrash talking about android in apple forum also i take action lol.

Anyone tried this on their note 2 yet? Since im on aosp thinking of diving in, see if audio quality is any way improved lol and if the gallery is better than aosp gallery

Never notice it in practice, but perhaps once in a while when using the S-pen.


baronic yes sir, no flame but providing an article link.

Read about it but ive never had any noticable lag that bothered me before. Probably so miniscule if you didnt know about it you wouldnt notice it kinda thing

To update on rooting method. This time I did not use ChengLu method ( root cum CWM) but opt instead for Chainfire auto root. You can download his file from
http://download.chainfire.eu/264/CF-Root/C...gxx-gtn7100.zip
Flash the extracted tar file as PDA using Odin in PC

According to dr Ketan :

Method 1:
Disadvantage : Here you will get full root access, but here recovery will remain stock, so you won't have option to flash zip files (still you can flash zip with Mobile Odin), but you won't have any option for Nandroid backup/Restore.
Advantage : You have to reset flash counter once only, then whenever you need to reset to unroot/ready to claim warranty, just you need to go to superSU - setting - unroot.
So If you are Flash counter conscious and really don't have need for nandroid backup, This one is for You.

His mentioned disadvantage can be easily overcome . Just use Mobile Odin and flash the TWRP recovery img.tar file and you will have recovery installed
The TWRP img file can be downloaded at :

For ppl who do not have mobile odin pro, how to flash zip files?

HD or Full HD, not much difference one, unless your eyes are very

6 inch would be tad difficult to hold for me, holding my Note 2 for runs will cause cramps already

Mobile Odin is free. Pro is paid. You can get mobile Odin from XDA free.

Its most noticable the difference when there is a gradient colour

According to this link, one of the methods and indications is when you on on to your notification bar and fling it up and down, it does not stick to your finger. That one is noticeable. But other than that, its true that its not significant.

Well, when there is nothing else to complain about, you nitpick

Since you are so free to nitpick, may I invite you to try the 401 ROM versions that I have compiled in the master list in post 7

Yeah can say so. I think for average use, should be fine I guess.

it sure announce during IFA


1 month before better
yet become 2 popular phone TS is very very busy 1

due to screen size so small right ??

Overwhelming.... What do I do with it?

Depends on live wallpaper lo. Ive seen some of my fav live wallpaper look awesome on the z but horrible on mine..the gradient there doesnt shade well for our note 2.

Theme freaks u may wanna check this out btw

I normally do it in the bathroom since it can be consider static free environment and also least wind ....... if u have a fan in your bathroom , I got no comment .



It's mentioned clearly in your post u quoted to flash using pc odin . Since u haven't root your phone yet , there's no other option . Mobile Odin don't work without root . Also , if I remember correctly b4 I purchased the pro version, the free version allows u 2 flash recovery and kernel only but I might be wrong since I bought it least then a day of trying it out .

hahaha. thank you for the tip. will try it out. item will only arrive on thursday since wednesday is hari buruh

I think due to this, it will be manageable. Have gone thru Note 2 cycle, can understand what to expect




Work out a plan, say, try 2 ROMs a day, and you will run thru the list in about 6 months (assuming you start with more current ROMs), just in time to get a Note 3 !!!

2 roms a day.. hahaha. My job now gives me only ample time to eat, sleep and taking dumps.

Weekends should be alright though.. And probably only samsung roms.

AOSP roms lack the vintage filter on the camera.. Not happy with that.

Is Jkay Deluxe supported on N7100?

Oh ya , 1 more tip . To clean your screen b4 applying the SP , best use Zippo lighter fluid 2 wipe your screen or alcohol patch . Some ppl use nail polosh removal . This is remove all the stains n oil and also 2 make d screen static free .
