Well, on the flip side, you can't blame people from wanting something with style AND substance. Although calling phones with NO removable batteries and NO SD cards "substantial" leaves much to be pondered practically wise.

IMHO anyway.

I mean, a fully metal Note 4 WITH removable battery, SD slot... Mmmmmmm.

Although on the lag side, I've seen my fair share of laggy Note 2s. Most of which used by people who know nuts about watching what they install. Taking these examples as yardsticks of lag are like... well... saying that Android is laggy in general because SOME people stuff it up with weird crap.

For the "pure" people, of course they don't have lag when the ONLY things installed at the base are the bare bones that come with basic android. For sure it will run like a bat out of hell. Load it up enough and it will lag too.

Myself I've yet to hit any annoying amount of lag on the N2, but I wouldn't really say I'm running things "stock Samsung".

On another note, I ended up unintstalling the Optical Reader. I just couldn't make it work reliably enough at the moment, and it's not giving me business card reading capabilities anyway. Google Translate already does OCR for translation and it's doing so quite well too nowadays.

That's too bad. I was hoping you could get it work. Maybe I ought to give it a try too.

Do share if you manage to get it working. In my case, while OCR works when grabbing text from a pic, the instant recognition part failed miserably, not really recognising anything. I even pinched some files straight from an S4, no joy.

I just checked the thread that antt00 provided. The rom needs to be odex. I can only do this at home. Need to download a different rom. What rom did you try it with?

Wanam leak. Odexed of course. It starts fine, just not the instant recognition part.

FYI the Photo Reader app (supposedly the same thing) up on Samsung App refuses to start outright after installation. Not sure why.

anyone interested in a note 2 N7102 dual sim let me know. comes with some cases and gonna let go at RM1200. please pm me for more info.

Wah.....is it rootable? Just curious.

LTE + Exynos + Dual Sim?

Or 3G only?

base on here : http://www.samsung.com/cn/consumer/mobile-.../GT-N7102RWDCHN

it is 3G, 1 mini sim + 1 micro sim

Like joy I wonder if there is any rom action for the 7102. Being such a niche device.

I recall reading in xda that there are no custom roms but it's probably rootable. With the current state of Xposed that may be all that's needed.

Yea. I dont think there is any custom rom for n7102. But still I think this version is a good business tool since it comes with dual sim and all the goodness of spen.

For rooted device only.
Note2 Hidden Settings -

I can confirm that some of the stuff in there (to be honest there aren't that many to begin with) are actually better than comparable options in Wanam Exposed. For instance Wanam's camera sound hack DOES NOT turn off AF sounds. Turning the option for "camera sound settings" (or something) on in Hidden Settings and toggling the sound off does a far better job.

There are also some stuff that might clash with Wanam Xposed though, so be careful toggling stuff.

The ability to completely delete the option for "software update" in the about screen is pure genius though, as I delete EVERYTHING related to software updates from the ROM anyway.

Similarly the "turn on sub symbols" for the keyboard, which combined with the Xposed "short keyboard delay" hack makes everything almost perfect on the keyboard side. As a bonus it works flawlessly with the 4.3 keyboard in the MI6 Wanam as well.

Yes really luv this app. The sub symbols in keyboard is great.

how's the air command ? working like charm now ? exactly like note 3 no different ?

Not too bad actually.

I noticed my Note II is not that smooth anymore...
But bearable.

Take back my words, after a few reboots, it is working well now.

The Business Cards feature...
