I have had my note for awhile now flashed tons of ROMs experimented with tablet mode and frankly I'm bored. I'm looking for some tweaks to try out or just something to "wow" me and others. Can anyone push me in the right direction.

As much as it pains me to say it give the paranoid Android rom a try...can customize it more then a ...well use your imagination ... that is if your phone was 1 of the lucky few meant to run it...some of us were informed that not all Gnote's are made equal...happy flashing

I was just super hyped about android and the customization after coming iOS. Haven't found anything that I can say this why my note is better except a bigger screen.

I personally could not make the switch back, so far this is this most control I've had over a phone. I'm doubtful you'll find any of the "wow" factor back on the iPhone.

Were do you guys go to discover cool stuff. I've searched note's forums up and down.
Is there a general android forum where i'm missing new apps, themes, tweaks, etc...
I
I don't understand what you mean by wow you? What exactly wows you? What tweaks do you want aside from being able to change the way the screen completely looks indefinitely?
I think the newness of devices gives it the wow factor more than anything. I'm pretty sure that if you went to another phone, you'd be looking for wow factor again.
For me, I really enjoy being able to control my laptop from my note while the laptop is hooked up to a projector and doing class presentations for my students. That usually gets a "wow. That's really cool you can do that"

Android is about your own personalization. Do your self a favor and find your own "wow". If it doesn't work out, you can always go back to to iOS. Android is not for everyone. Can't make everyone a believer.

trebuchet is the stock launcher for CM9.
It was built by the CM team specifically for CM9.

His point was somewhat misdirected (at Trebuchet) when in fact it's how Google does ICS for tablets. They dont feel it's necessary to have an app-launch bar, notification pulldown, etc. I totally agree with this decision. A tablet experience should be different, but still with the same overall feel. I think it's perfect.

Woah, nice.. Excited!
Why does every Android device I've ever used seem to lag opening the app drawer? I've tried almost every 3rd-party launcher, lots of custom and stock roms and phones and tablets, and they all seem to hiccup, at least a little, opening the app drawer. I only comment because I noticed it in the CM9 video for the 10.1 and the Touchpad, despite both having excellent hardware.
So strange, I had hoped ICS would put this to rest once and for all.
(This, of course, does not in any way speak to this team's efforts to bring ICS to the Touchpad, for which I am ever grateful!)
That accent is so sexy.

Good question. Using VTL.Launcher my TP does stutter a bit on the drawer animation (not on any other animations though), but on my phone (Epic 4g) it does not stutter at all.
I'm not really fond of that type of animation anyway, so disabling it eliminates the problem.
Please post threads like this in the General section. The development fora are meant for development topics only.
Load up Nova Launcher on the TP, see if it's any better.
I'm pretty stoked about this. Hopefully we're gonna get a surprise tonight or very soon....

No, we can't develop for it cuz IPhone is designed for ios and if android is developed for iPhone then I think Apple would sue the developer ( not sure though ). We can't develop properly for it, we need proper packages, omx codecs ,proper libs. Finding or writing omx codecs is difficult job cuz there is difficulty in finding proper omx libs for android phones! How can we find for iPhone???

I know its very difficult...but if we try...it will be possible...I have googled it any many say that its possible but a bit tough and risky...for we need jailbreaking iOS....which is easy...then need to put our brains and start the Developement.
Well, you'd need proper drivers; either you get them from Apple or you're building them yourself (which is a real pain).
You'd also need to somehow get the Android kernel in there, which is also a pain, since ... well, it just is...
It's tricky, but I've seen a pair of iPhone 4s with Android on, i just don't know where and when...
Though Android still RULZ
Well it will be.difficult....but i have seen people using android iphone...i know we cant make a perfect rom but still we can make a compatible rom

Don’t forget, judging by all lawsuits (Apple vs the world) no body can develop anything similar to their products or use their products, whilst they continue to freely, so called, “innovate” what android been doing for years (i.e. “pull down notification” blatant copy).

Back in like ios 2 or earlier they used to have android in cydia....And,even then thr marker didnt work...
But as everyones saying...due to the fact that apple keeps everything clised source, sues everyone, and puts in a ton of security...it would be extremely hard and take months if not years...by the time we got it going for one there would be a new one...we hav no source to work with
The people that actually deveolp stock roms get paid and work in large teams and also have degrees in this sort of thing...its there job -and it still takes them about a year to release
Now look at us xda people...some of us,may have degrees in development. But many of us,are self taught. On top of that we all have a life outside of xda...jobs, family friends...so we really dont have that much time to work on stuff. Last...we are not paid...we do it cause we enjoy it...but i dont think anyone would enjoy building android for iphone simply cause you would pretty much have to creaye your own drivers and libs
So sorry to burst your bubble...but i dont see this ever hapoening. The end product isnt worth the work, not to mention the lawsuits apple is famous for...

i dont think it would make much sense. iphone has a processor about 800 mhz right? it wont create a performance thats near to any androidphone, it would probably lose against my x10 with 1ghz and 384 mb ram.... Maybe one could build donut or froyo for it andbthat would also run like it should after two years in development or so, but who would use it (you wouldnt by an iphone if android was on it, because any androidphone would give better performance for lower price, so you buy it because it works better than android and, oh yes, the apple...) I think it would be much cooler to port ios to work on androidphones, soon, when apple "invented" all features of android, it will still have the better performance, thet even hardest androidfans have to see.

It's a lawsuit waiting to happen though...apple would shut it down the moment they heard of it...
iOS is closed source...that being said it requires permission to work with it. With out permission you are illegally working on it. It would not be allowed on xda due to lack of permission...
As for porting android to iPhone...as I said earlier I don't see that happening either...there's not enough demand and we have no drivers/proprietary files to work with

Yet Scott just released a zip that will allow us to flash t mobile, and att roms. Give me a moment, and I will find the thread, and post it here. If you want to see a dead phone, go look at the rezound. The phone is barely a year and a half old, and it is marching into obscurity. The droid incredible has more action. These threads aren't going to produce more roms, just bad attitudes. Try playing with all of the mods we have, and theme it to whatever you want it to be. Morphology, Xposed, and a slew of others. Troll the other carriers threads, and pull mods that you want. That is all we can ask for, unless you are paying the devs a paycheck.

Which have you tried? Both Jedi and Jelly Beans are both great. I am using the mod in my sig right now as I like that it keeps the samsung allshare features working.
With a combination of Jelly Beans, Widget Locker, and a theme you could pretty much get anything done you want. Pick up the odd app or mod here and there to fill in the gaps.
By the way, if you want to give 4.1.2 a go Jedi is running that. It is great if you don't need the Samsung services.

I think this has been my main take away from discussions, and browsing the other forums. Quantity in this case definitely does not equal quality. I don't see the point in having 10 options if only 2 or 3 are viable. However, that is just my opinion.
Most source built ROMs (AOSP) are going to have issues, whether major or minor, and are much easier to customize as you're dealing with XML and java. However, the lack of TW features keep people away from them.
With TouchWiz ROMs, you don't lose any functionality, but there is only so much that smali hacking can do. Most of this is just the time consuming nature of trying to hack a ROM via smali only. You could get everything in your favorite source built ROM if you wanted to take the time to do so. But, given that this is a for-fun thing and not a money making venture, developers aren't likely to take that amount of time if they wouldn't use it themselves.

I would definitely prefer a few quality roms with great support than 27 versions of cyanogenmod that are 98% the same. Beans, MeanBean, Tweaked, Jedi, Elemental...that should be plenty to keep the crack flashers happy.

What is a rom really? To me It's just a better version of what the manufacturer builds. The stuff is basically the same for the most part with the addition of tweaks for better battery performance etc... That are added by the dev. The thing that makes a rom different are the things like themes and different looking batteries etc..., so why have 100 roms that essentially are the same? I would prefer to have 1 rom that performs well with a bunch of themes and mods hence i only use meanbean and love the real icon theme, or morphology. Mean bean is a great rom and with pbj kernel even better.

To each their own ya know. My reason personally for rooting and unlocking is personalization, which is why I tend to end up at aosp more often than not. There's plenty of options and stuff to mix around. The only reason why I made a topic about it was because of the extensive development on other carriers. Not because I'm not pleased with what's here, I just have a hard time staying on one ROM for long

There's plenty of options and stuff to mix around. The only reason why I made a topic about it was because of the extensive development on other carriers. Not because I'm not pleased with what's here, I just have a hard time staying on one ROM for long

stock android firmware has evolved into something so much better than it use to be...im still on beans build 2 because it flatout works and has all the things I need. Its hard to develop when stock touchwiz is so good out of the box. the only real thing that touchwiz needs is themeing. beans takes the cake on that. aosp was nice on my gs1 because it trimmed the fat and made the ol single core with limited ram run smooth. these quad core beasts are designed to handle bloat and a festure rich skins(touchwiz), so aosp does not have the appeal and performance advantage it use to. however for the folks that
keep this device well past tthe point verizon quits supporting it, then aosp will shine...simply for the fact it will bring the latest android offerings and keep the note 2 alive.
I think it had A LOT to do with TW and Spen/Note 2 specific features. Nobody really wants to lose them, and there's only so many ways to mess with TW. There's plenty of AOSP/KP stuff but look at the involvement compared to TW roms... It's there, but not as much... My take on it anyway.
Edit: Yeah, what Droidstyle said, lol.

Don't forget that Samsung has promised an update to 4.2 for the Note II sometime this year. No real timetable, but when it comes it will be a shot in the arm for development.
Myself, I bounce between Beans ROM and CyanogenMod. The S-Pen features are what generally keep me hopping, but both are good.

OK so for me, I dig HTCs UI quite a bit. I know a lot of people don't like it one bit and there is nothing wrong with that. Anyways I saw this thread and thought if this could be ported over to the S3, could it be ported to the Note 2? I was just throwing this out there to see if there are any devs out there that would be willing to give this a try??? I don't know a thing about making ROMS at all Lol but ya, it would be cool. I know it would probably be super hard, but it could be doable.

As of right now yes. But there is a ton of devs working on it for the sprint s3. I was just saying it would be pretty sweet if it ever got up and running.

There's already a thread about this on here somewhere but long story short - it won't happen. A "ton of devs" have been trying this since eclair and afaik not one has ever been successful. There are just too many closed source dependencies that make it impossible.

While I think you're right these devs are making quite a bit of progress quite quickly. It looks promising.

Sense has been ported to the galaxy s and other devices. I dont quite know where you are getting your information from but you may want to do some more research.

Ported is not the same as working. Since you seem to have a PhD in this, feel free to provide examples professor.

Ease up man. I had rosie running on my G1 and it was great(and everything worked). I wouldn't jump the aosp ship for sense ever again based on the current state of android, but at the time, it was awesome. I still don't understand why google hasn't included t9 search in their dialer.

Ya same here. Having sense 5 on my note 2 with how big the screen is and with amazing battery life. It would be sweet. I'm a fan of sense. I love how easy it is to quickly add widgets and apps to home screens. Looking forward into seeing what the HTC ONE MAXX had to offer. I may switch. We'll see

I'm with you.. after coming from an iphone 5 to the note 2, I can't go back to any phone smaller. Hopefully the ONE MAXX is good competition.

TOTALLY agree dude. The new Sense is damn sexy. And now that I've held a ONE, I'm pretty certain this is my last Samsung. My sights are set firmly on the ONE 'Max.'

Ya the one is a pretty nice looking device. Haven't got to hold it yet without something attached from the back of it Lol. But ya, I don't think I can go back to a smaller screen. And the s pen is nice as well. Its nice for notes. I'm sure the HTC Max will be pretty dang nice

I'm sure I could live with a smaller screen again. Picking up my GNex I'm all like, "whoa SO easy to hold!" I still need to hold it untethered too, but DAMN. I rarely use my SPen, which is why I spend so much time on AOSP ROMs probably.

In what way was I an ass? He claimed something and I gave a rebuttal. In no way was I rude, I just stated that he should do more research before he completely shoots down someone's request/idea.

Just wanted to say goodbye to all the awesome people here in the Rezound community due to the fact that I got a new device. There are too many people to mention but you guys made this phone awesome and on pace with "cutting edge" devices and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here.
Chad, Neo, Snuzzo, thebroken, Shrike, dmeadows, etc... you were always a huge help and always very nice and respectful no matter the question or situation so thank you. Keep up the great work everyone.

Speaking of people I forgot to mention lol. Previous statement applies to you too man. It's awesome. Features are great and the smoothness, speed, battery life, and pretty much everything to do with the screen are insane. I'm extremely happy with it.
Air gesture and multi window are probably my favorite features.

i heard they did a good job on touchwiz this time that most don't want to root for CM. I'm still up in the air about SGS4 or the One. Roommate has the One and its awesome, but i think its time i give another company a chance. The SGS4 fits nicely in my larger that normal hands. i still have a few months before i have to decided but the more feed back the better
:good:
Absolutely man any questions you might have feel free to shoot. I'm the same way, 6'4 and hands to match so the SGS4 fits VERY nicely in them. I picked up my Rezound earlier and it felt tiny. And as far as a change of scenery this phone does it. I actually really like touchwiz compared to sense. Features are great and smoothness is phenomenal. Plus I have a feeling SGS4 will be periodically updated with the latest and greatest which is more than I can say for HTC. Rezound was always behind the curve on that one.

How is the reception for data and calling compared to the rezound?
Also does the phone lag at all?
