I have the galaxy s2, and a site called SamMobile has been leaking Samsung ICS builds for the galaxy s2 and now the note, if you didn't already know. I was just thinking, if we could get as many people as we can to ask them for a leak, on twitter, for the galaxy tab 10.1, show them that there is a demand for an ICS build for our tab, they might be able to get one from their inside man
When I mean contact them, I mean just @SamMobile them on twitter asking for a leak: https://twitter.com/#!/SamMobiles
It's is just an idea, properly a stupid one at that.

This is actually very strange. Nobody has heard anything about ics leaks for the tab. I actually have a bad feeling about that. I'm sure samsung will try to release the update after their new tablet r something like that. There is no way sammobile has had access all those leaks for the sgs2 and not even one leak for the tab. I hope I'm wrong but I got the feeling that samsung isn't even advanced in their work for the tab 10.1
Just because there's not been a leak for your device, doesn't mean there is no development being done.
There have been NO ICS leaks for ANY of the Samsung Galaxy Tabs. P10x0 P62x0, P68x0, P73x0, P75x0...
Whining at leak site who have no affiliation with the developers to release something that may or may not even exist just makes you appear to be hungry teenagers desperate to get their dicks wet.
You'll probably get a better response by whining directly at Samsung to leak their damned firmware.
Patience is a virtue.
Samsung has already confirmed ICS for the Tab series, try to take a deep breath and relax ;-)

Somebody should put together a complete list of everything from the S III that is available for the Galaxy Note....also including what you need to do or what you need to have to use them on your device. Just saying....It would help a lot of people out. Anybody interested in this, share what you know in this thread and I will do the same when I can.

I know of one app but you will need Go Launcher EX app to make it work
If you go to a google store type in SGS3 Theme you will be able to add a SGS3 theme for the Go Launcher app.
Is smartstay a hardware or software feature? I'd love to implement that on my Note.

Excellent I want this on my next rom in the worst way hate when I'm reading and screen turns off.
I've begun the process here with a mod for UCLE2-based rooted i717 roms:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26544421
And I'm definitely looking into some of the more sexy stuff (Smart Stay, etc) for future versions. However, it looks like Smart Stay and the S3's pop-up video players are not separate apk's -- they're built directly into the TouchWiz framework on the S3 -- so porting them over is going to be much more difficult, if not impossible. (Mainly because Samsung doesn't provide the proprietary TouchWiz source).
As for video-in-a-floating-window, I highly recommend the "Overskreen" and "Stick It" apps from MBFG in the meantime...

I was wondering if our beloved Galaxy S2 will receive Android 4.1 Jellybean officially? I'm pretty sure it will be available through Cyanogenmod or whoever, but will it also be a Kies update, and if so, is it gonna take all the carriers ages to implement it? Personally I'm always on one of the neweste CM Nightly builds and I've no complaints, it just works, which is kindof what I want the phone to do. I saw a youtube video of ICS vs Jellybean in terms of laggines, "Project Butter" aims to make the whole Android experience smoother and faster. What I'd like to know is if our now aging Exynos SOC supports all the things their putting into the OS, for example their doing Vsync and tripple buffering. All I know about those is that I enable them in games, no real idea what they actually do. Is it as simple as a software upgrade or must the hardware first support is?
Ask Samsung.
Yes it might come next year! But frankly I think 4.04 will be last.
No, no 4.0.4 neither

Can't we get Jellybean for our Galaxy S2 this year?

I don't see a point in Vsync. I've yet to see a game uncorrectly display an image.
Since triple-buffering is new, I guess our phone has double. I would like triple, and have it as smooth and as fast as the iPhone, but I don't want to lower my battery life on it. Plus I'd expect overheating since it takes two pieces of hardware to process am image.

FYI, there is a discussion thread about JB that has been open in the General section since yesterday here. (making this thread superfluous)
I'm pretty sure we will get 4.1 because if Galaxy Nexus S will get this.. Why shouldn't we get this? :victory:

I wouldn't say this thread is entirely superfluous; here the discussion is focused solely on whether or not the Galaxy S2 will get JB, while the other thread also includes comments on the features of it.
If you came looking to find out if/when we were getting it, where do you think you would find the answer more quickly?

XDA Members and Galaxy Note II Owners:
Some of you may have noticed a particularly interesting article on the XDA-News page today. It pertains to the presence of a feature hidden within stock, 4.1.1, Galaxy S III ROMs. This feature is an extension of the Smart Stay functionality introduced alongside the Galaxy S III and it is called "Smart Rotation". Now, before posting this, I did a quick search and a quick pass through the Galaxy Note II forum and I found no posts pertaining to this. However, if I did miss something, please let me know and I will request that the mods delete or lock my thread.
Anyway, as I read the article, and then the thread about which it was written, I started to think it is very likely that Samsung introduced this very same feature into GT-N7100/GT-N7105 ROMs as well. Considering the not-so-negligible similarities between the GT-I9300 and the GT-N7100, as well as the GT-I9305 and the GT-N7105, I think this is more than enough reason to see if this feature can be enabled on the Galaxy Note II as well.
Unfortunately, as much as I would like to create a CWM-Flashable *.zip which contains this mod, I will not have access to my desktop or notebook until the end of next week. Also, in the interest of being completely honest, I really only use my notebook to manage, restore, etc. my multiple mobile devices and not much else. As far as my desktop goes, it hasn't even been powered on since 2010. I use my Galaxy Note II and my Galaxy Note 10.1 for 99.999% of my computing tasks. Before that, I used a Galaxy S III and a Galaxy Tab 7.7 (Which, oddly enough, was my favorite device combination ever!!). Before that, I used an OG Galaxy Note and a rooted B&N NOOK Tablet. Before that, I used a Galaxy S II Skyrocket with a rooted and CM7-flashed B&N NOOK Color. See a pattern? So, I'm pretty sure you're starting to get an idea of what types of things I pack with me on a business trip. Obviously, this is one of those times when I SHOULD have packed my notebook.
In any case, since I have no reliable means of decompiling an *.apk, recompiling an *.apk, or making said *.apk part of a CWM package, I'll have to ask the community for help. So, is there anyone out there who feels up to the challenge? Yes. I know it's not really a "challenge". It's more of a task. However, you'd probably rack up a buttload of "Thanks" if you created a bug-free, CWM-Flashable package that enables "Smart Rotation". So, like I said, if anyone's interested in taking this on, please feel free to chime in. A link to the original thread is below. Good hunting!!

^^No need for confusion, it's just been misunderstood/misreported in the News article as relevant to the Note II.
This feature comes stock on the N7100, no mods or anything needed to enable it, it sits alongside "Smart Stay" in the display options

So this is one of the very first results that comes up when you search verizon galaxy note 2 on google.
I am considering getting the note 2 on verizon soon and I was wondering how the experience differs from the other carriers.. I heard the multi window supports fewer apps on verizon, and MANY other important features are said to be missing in the comments.
Does the development community have any solutions or ROMs that puts VZW on equal footing with the other carriers? The coverage and speed are obviously better on vzw, but just trying to be thorough and it's hard to tell without having the phone in hand.
Yes. With root and unlock it's on pretty much equal footing with everyone on software. Equal with Sprint on hardware as there's no wireless charging - unless you cut holes for the contacts in the plastic backing on top of the mobo.

Welp, that's Verizon for ya. And I like how the thread was locked down. Smh Verizon.
Anyways, if you are planning on rooting your Note, there's a mod to have any app added to the Multi Window feature.
Here's a solid solution: Flash CleanROM 3.5, which is based on the International Android 4.1.2 base, which has a ton of features added that weren't originally on any Android 4.1.1 base from any carrier. On top of that, you get the Multi Window feature mod.
This is why we have a development community - so evil carriers like this don't completely shut us down and treat us like peasants.
I'd say the developers here have been GREAT! I haven't dabbled in other note 2 forums or the like but I'm using Clean Rom VZW 1.0 and just love it.
I don't see anything that i would want missing.

Truth. Who knows how long it'll be before Verizon gets off their asses and sends out the 4.1.2 update to us.

Wanna know why I haven't bothered with 4.1.2?
Because the differences between 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 are stupidly minor.
4.1.1 to 4.1.2 deep down brings nothing to the table for us. It might for touchwiz, but the actual base Android OS sees little improvement overall. As for Touchwiz, we already have some of the updates in 4.1.1 on our variant.
http://www.androidcentral.com/inter...-get-android-412-update-new-touchwiz-features
From the article:
The biggest changes seem to be focused around the top of the screen. The notification shade is now customizable, so if you're not a fan of extraneous toggles and brightness dials, you can turn them off. If you keep your notification shade quick-controls, you'll notice new additions such as the ability to toggle the multi-window feature on and off. The notification bar itself has also changed slightly, going from grey back to black. And the lock screen's been changed up a little, with a new, optional ink effect in the on-screen "pool" when unlocking the device.
Web browser performance improvements are also noted, although we've always found Samsung's stock browser to be pretty fast. And finally, there's also a new Group Cast app for sharing music and photos with other Samsung device owners.

Back to 4.1.2:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/1...4-1-2-at-the-low-level-developer-commit-logs/
The only reason 4.1.2 was released is because it contained a mandatory software update for new Nexus 7 hardware revisions (dealing with power management hardware) and the new N7's releasing wouldn't run on 4.1.1. Otherwise, Google could have easily just waited until 4.2 with the changes.

Working with AOSP for a year, you get a really good feeling for just how much placebo is out there, when you get to see the nitty gritty in actual changes.
I miss my gnex. I don't miss its poor signal and battery life though.
4.1.1 to 4.1.2 is crazy minor and has no noticeable effect to most people.
4.2 to 4.2.1 is another one, and pointless if you are CDMA and already fixed the contacts bug yourself.
Yet, on both of those updates, people saw miraculous changes in performance and stability

I guess you didn't read about how the update to AT&T/US Cellular Note 2s which included 4.1.2 also happened to fix the missing auto-correction in the Samsung keyboard, and 240p/480p flash videos display corruption.
Both are huge to me, and probably many other people (the keyboard one especially.)
Just because the update includes a bump in Android firmware doesn't mean that's what I'm looking forward to. So yes, it does matter and the sooner we get it the better. And my point about Verizon failing hard at updating devices (not just to change their build number) still stands.

Flash isn't supported in Jellybean, so that is not something I am concerned with. As for the Samsung keyboard autocorrect, that again is pretty minor when you can sideload a superior-in-every-way keyboard.
Both of those are third party issues, and not worthy of an OS bump. That is my point. Its a minor (in every way) update. Yeah, Verizon sucks on updates, but people will whine about anything. You knew that going in, and hey, at least we saw multiwindow before ATT or Tmobile. Some of the touchwiz features we even saw before the International version.
Someone wake me when Samsung releases 4.2. Then I will be interested.

are you able to multi-window any app in 4.1.2 on the note 2? On the 10.1 we have to be running 4.1.2 for the multi-window because of something that changed. On 4.1.1 you have to edit each app.
I don't know a lot about coding, but that is big for me. I know on the note 2, most custom ROMs have this ability already, but the dev section of the 10.1 is pretty lean at the moment. Guess all the devs got nexus 7's and 10's.

I love that flash still works. And the fact that Samsung actually took the time to fix it in their update means they care too.
As for the keyboard, I enjoy my extra row of numbers and see nothing wrong with it. The only reason I use the stock AOSP 4.2 keyboard right now is because it has auto-correct working. Otherwise, yeah I'd be using that Touchwiz goodness.
I'm not interested in the bump to 4.1.2. **** I wish they would just hotfix these two minor things without lumping it into a firmware update so I could enjoy these fixes without waiting months for Verizon. Unfortunately it is what it is and there's no reason for you to be defending them. I mean really, what point are you trying to make? We know 4.1.2 doesn't do much of anything for us, it's just a lot easier for us to say "we're waiting for 4.1.2 update" rather than "we're waiting for the update that fixes x y and z"

I'm not interested in the bump to 4.1.2. **** I wish they would just hotfix these two minor things without lumping it into a firmware update so I could enjoy these fixes without waiting months for Verizon. Unfortunately it is what it is and there's no reason for you to be defending them. I mean really, what point are you trying to make? We know 4.1.2 doesn't do much of anything for us, it's just a lot easier for us to say "we're waiting for 4.1.2 update" rather than "we're waiting for the update that fixes x y and z"
Cool story bro?

Not so much as pessimistic, but a hardened Verizon veteran that has seen too many wars with them.
That and a year on the Galaxy Nexus has shown me that newer isn't always better, 4.2 is a train wreck. By the time we see it, I hope the issues are worked out.

Right. But that is not due to 4.1.2.
That same app is in the development forum here.

That app only works on 4.1.2, not 4.0.4 or 4.1.1. You can't even install the app on those firmwares. He says either google or Samsung added something to make adding multiwindow easier for devs.
Here's the thread:

Like I said, I don't understand the functions of it, just know that it works on 4.1.2 and nothing else.

Wait, you mean the 4.2 update to the Nexus phone that Verizon has yet to even put out? lawl gotta laugh. I've seen plenty of wars with Verizon myself but I see no reason to argue with users about why they should not look forward to fixes reaching their device, and the greedy ****s who slow that process down for them.

Are we talking about the same thing?

Right at the top, it shows our 4.1.1 release as the supported version.
This guy was able to get it done. Not sure why the other guy couldn't.

Is there something wrong with 4.1.1. that you NEED an update once google updates? 4.2.1 is still broken. Why do you think sometimes there is a delay from when google pushes an update to when you see it. Its more then just Verizon. If verizon put out the 4.2.1. update now for the nexus people would be calling left and right saying that their phone is rebooting when updating apps from the market, especially when you modify the lock screen widgets. No way verizon would approve something still broken.
