Thats a real classic one

You're asking on the GS II forum whether you should get a GS II? Thats like asking the Klu Klux Klan if having your baby with Shaniqua El Hussein is a good idea.

There is a significant price difference between GS2 and GS3-Note 2 and IMHO not too much gap ,especially with JB.
If i have limited budget I'd go for Galaxy Nexus instead GS2..or waiting LG N4

Poweroffice + Dropbox for Note

I'm trying to get this app from the market, but it says my device is incompatible. I'm running Saurom. The app is free for Note users, and I had it on the stock ROM. Any suggestions, or a link to the APK? Again, the app is free. Thanks.
It's $15 on the market when I search for it.

The version specifically for the Note is free. They even advertise it in Samsung apps. I know it is free because I wouldn't pay $15.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alwaysonpc.android.powerofficeamn.vnc
I cant even download samsung apps or omni sketch (advertised for use with the s-pen) says device incompatible. I mean its made for our phone. Ive tried many many things. stock dpi, clear play store data numerous times.. nothing helps. Im on saurom as well. I think it might be just a rom issue. Ive asked this in the q and a section and nobody has an answer there either.
the issue i had with saurom and looking for apps in the play store is I think it shows your phone as canadian for some reason and dont get the same apps, this was when it first came out not sure if that is still an issue but may want to look at that
.. i just looked for it in my playstore and its coming up as 14.99 and the reviews are horrible on it !! its rated at 2 stars right now

The problem's got to do with Saurom.
I'm running Collective's Unofficial and I have the Poweroffice+Dropbox app installed and working fine, and have had it since being on the stock ROM with no problems since.

Thank you!
my 2 cents
I recall there being something like this with some of the early betas of the ICS roms for Desire HD, The issue tied back to the screen resolution not being the factory default dpi and the market would see it as incompatable. you may want to check your screen res and verify it's the factiry default dpi (I am not sure what that is for the Note off hand)

Buy HTC One X for awesome camera, screen and gaming
You can find many tegra optimized games that have better effetcs
One X is also the very first non Sony phone that has become playstation certified
and Sony is working for a lot of games for Playstation Mobile
If you want faster phone performance wise and like dark colors and amoled screen then go for S3
Also no S-off available for One X yet

Thanks appreciate it.
No Problem!
Let me know how it goes. I have not tested it on VZW yet but it should work with any of my ROMS and Beans ROM. Basically any stock based ROM.
Is this the same kernel inside the latest ace rom (4.05)?

The one without boot animation in the name.
OK....here I go......
Edit: OK....got it installed. Seems all is well. Just ran quadrant and got 100 points less than average.....but that could be a number of factors and isn't noticeable anyway.
PS: something new.....for quite awhile now when I would tap into a thread or post to a thread then exit, xda would totally shut down as would others forums with the same format.
It didn't do that when I just posted here. Weird?????

Its pretty much the bridge between hardware and software. Software/Kernel/Hardware. As simple as I can make it.

Thanks for this. I just flashed the Unsecure Boot Image - L7 Base - Anim Support.zip in TWRP. I still have Chainfire's app installed and it's showing the Exploit is still exploitable, is that normal?

Definitely the Nexus 4 (more screen resolution, more powerful, direct updates from Google).
Doesn't even need to think about it, definitely the nexus.
The Galaxy Grand screen is crap. Get Nexus 4. Galaxy Grand is just a cheap phone with a big screen. Nexus 4 is a high end cheap phone.

I know Nexus/Pixel devices have a good reputation here (I'm a Nexus 6 owner) a lot of support and a huge community. But I was wondering let's say you want to buy a phone purely depending on the community and support on XDA which phone would that be?
would really like your opinion on this? hich phone has the best community ROM build support here?

Do you mean Elephone has the most community support and Roms?
I'm not sure about community support, I was referring to specs there. I'll probably get one of these badboys after new years
http://www.elephonestore.com/elephone-z1-ram-8gb-dual-curved-display-phone.html
As for which has the most community support, I would have to say the Galaxy S series probably dominates with both support and rom options.
