QUOTE(h11g @ May 10 2013, 12:07 AM) hi congrats on new thread, since bobcatrom is so highly rated, anyone here have experience with it? any feedback regarding bobcat? I don't know, but as I said, there was some dude who replied in Google+ to my post saying it was the best thing ever, and he was a user of BobCat on other Samsung devices as well. The BobCatROM chef is not a native English speaker from his postings, probably an Italian since he is cooperating with soloilmeglo. It does look quite snazzy from all the included theming options. I guess I will give it a try sometime since I'm curious too. QUOTE(crazyissac @ May 10 2013, 12:20 AM) wondering when samsung will update s4 features to note 2 ....wakaka You want to wave your hand in front of your Note 2 is it? Waving with the S-pen is more magical isn't it?

QUOTE(ahhon83 @ May 10 2013, 12:23 AM) Dropped my phone when i got down from car, screen cracked!!! OH FXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX  Firstly welcome to the forum. I don't believe you're in the Owners' List. Do add yourself via the form in post 4. My famous question when people make such posts: Were you using a proper casing (ie one that COMPLETELY encloses the phone) ? I suppose it slipped off your thighs and fell on tarmac? Screen replacement is RM700. QUOTE(arslow @ May 10 2013, 12:27 AM) its emulated, no? but yeah, since Intel has x86 version of android 4.1 and 4.2, wonder what's taking this guys so long?  Don't think it's emulated. It's compiled on x86 and runs natively. Full blown OS on some selected Atom netbooks. Of course you could run a prebuilt VirtualBox image as well, but it is still native x86.

QUOTE(XeactorZ @ May 10 2013, 12:34 AM) joytest, your topic description left the word "3" 2nd Gen of the original "Phablet" XXDMC 3 Thanks. Changed. QUOTE(h11g @ May 10 2013, 12:35 AM) Think it's best to do a full wipe to go the bobcat route... Guys if I'm wiping my internal storage it's best to back up the android folder right? That's where all the apps settings is saved right ? I've backed up all my apps through titanium btw Most apps, probably not ALL apps. Well if you have titanium backup for all apps+data you should be fine. QUOTE(arslow @ May 10 2013, 12:47 AM) looking at the CPU usage, yes I guess its really native. The scrolling speed is just off, one "click" makes it go to the bottom of my facebook feed  still a lot of work to do I guess. Maybe I should just try out the intel version someday. might be less user friendly bu t should run much better imo.btw, did you read about merrifield on Anandtech? Seems to be pretty awesome. As long as they get some huge design wins, we might see Intel slowly dominating the mobile world just like the desktop world. It will take some time, but its certainly possible  Yes I do follow most tech news on this kind of stuff. It is certainly possible. This post has been edited by joytest: May 10 2013, 12:50 AM

SigmaROM, built by an Indonesian, somehow not on XDA : http://hans.polinpdg.ac.id/android/78-cust...-sigma-rom.htmlblackthorn your SOT is quite good already. I've never used my phone that long though  Some browsing in the neighbour thread: https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=60256105RM1088 for a screen replacement !!!!!!  AND NO DIGITIZER ?????? Thank Samsung. Also, Does this mean that Verizon has a changelog? http://androidheadlines.com/2013/05/androi...th-edition.htmlVerizon have updated their Galaxy Note II, bringing the software up to build version I605VRA MC3. The big thing here is that the device now has much better support for multi-view, a lot more apps are now supported by the feature and there are tweaks and fixes galore. So much so that there is another part to the changelog below. All in all, the update comes in at 264 MB in size. To get info on how to update your Galaxy Note II on Verizon, head over to here. => http://support.verizonwireless.com/pdf/sys...nstructions.pdfThis post has been edited by joytest: May 10 2013, 03:21 AM

QUOTE(hooh888 @ May 10 2013, 03:31 PM) huh what do you mean by 'added'? and what do you mean in the second statement? i feel very confused-desu. Added you to post 9. 2nd statement should have been "ism" instead of "olism". An "ism" is some habit or practice, sometimes viewed positively, sometimes negatively, depending on the originating noun/verb. So you have Buddhism, Animism, Alcoholism, Flashoholism etc

QUOTE(arslow @ May 10 2013, 03:47 PM) The only reason to go for the S4 is the screen, finally, no more pixel to be sen on the homescreen and default system apps. Just need to hold out for another 5-6 months!!! >< I actually already have a buyer for this phone by the time note 3 launches, RM 1xxx, hopefully he would be still interested on the phone by then  This time I'll hold out for a telco contract since the company can pay for the bills  I really love Note 2 more than the Note 1, but Note 1 was the device that created the entire Phablet category and the Note family is still the best of it all.

From the good XDA Dentist: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2269318EFS backup directly from your phone. Seems a little bit involved but doable.

QUOTE(antt00 @ May 10 2013, 04:34 PM) Actually nothing much involved. Tried it yesterday backup in less than a min including typing those long lines.  The EFS compressed zip should be around 8mb ?? I saw the ext.win file from the TWRP backup was only 64kb. What's the correct size, as the old EFS Backup Tool on page 1 creates a 20mb file.

QUOTE(antt00 @ May 10 2013, 04:35 PM) joytest why do people say "at long last"? Is there a "at short first"?  OT but a lot of this stuff is from the early development of the language. I suppose if you got something instantly, you have nothing to complain and therefore there will be no idiom to describe the non-existent problem. I believe the phrase "at long last" has a very near equivalent in German IIRC, since English is from the Germanic branch of the Indo-European family. Note that English is related to Hindi ok. Now we have "OMG finally" or some other internet abbreviation I guess.

QUOTE(h11g @ May 10 2013, 04:46 PM) did a fresh install for bobcatrom, initial impression was i hate the themeing and all, makes my eyes blur, but i do like the speed tweak especially on the network side of things, maybe placebo effect but i felt that the loading of webpage on 3g is faster. tonnes of mods in this rom, and suddenly updateme app from the cook start fc-ing on me. So dont think this rom is a keeper, hunting for my next rom to flash. And so far wanamlite gave me the best battery life, but the best of both worlds has got to be our own msia cooked Monx rom. Good, do add an entry in the survey, since I find it strange that a lot of the BobCatROM users tend to rate it above 40 points.

QUOTE(h11g @ May 10 2013, 05:20 PM) i think the high rating in the rom review is kinda fake, maybe they do magic like someone ahem~! u noe who... So you see, in v1 of the survey, it simply counted number of entries. In v2, the inclusion of specific feature ranking can actually indicate whether submitters are honest or not I will have to think about how to weight some rankings. I do have such training but rusty......
