Hi guys,
This is a method I came up with to have your note 2 device look like the note 3.The advantage is that it can work on any rom,rooted or unrooted.
All you need is a note 2 and a working play store.There is just one thing that I haven't been able to figure out is that the weather widget note 3 wont update (I need help on this one).So bearing the updating thing in mind,let's begin
1.Get the note 3 stock wallpapers from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2438493 (I used the fhd_03 from wallpaper pack 2 since its the one that is applied initially on note 3 but its your preference)
Credits to -Aatif-
2.Get the S4 lockscreen from here. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lockscreen.galaxys4
Its similar to the note 3 or should I say the exact same one
3.Get the s4 clock and weather widget from here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.GoeloeDesigns.GS4clock
You will need UCCW for this to work https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.vineetsirohi.customwidget
With the right tweaking and settings adjustment you can make it really look like note 3.
This was my first guide ever.I hope you all liked it
Thanks for reading
Cheers
Can you post a ss please?

Hey Guys, I found this from the Galaxy S3 thread linked below,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1898262
So I wanted to test this out in the new Omega Rom for Note and it worked perfectly. The transparent widgets fit the screen well and have no issues. So this should work on rooted stock roms as well.
I want to give my credits to kashortiexda for posting these. Files can be downloaded from the links below
Accuweather Transparent
FM Radio Transparent
Music Player Transparent
Instructions:
1, Download the required apk file and copy them to your sd card.
2, Use a root explorer tool and browse to the system/app folder. Mount the folder as r/w
3, Rename the apps, for ex., AccuweatherWidget.apk to AccuweatherWidget.apkbak
4, Copy Paste the transparent apk files to this folder and set permissions to rw -r -r. Reboot the phone
5, The widgets can now be used. Please make sure that these widgets are not there on the homescreens before replacing to avoid FCs.
Enjoy. Hope you like it guys. Thanks
Funny! Just today I was thinking how much I miss a transparent weather widget. With the WeatherWall wallpaper I really didn't need a superimposed image to spoil the effect.
I can confirm that it works with stock (rooted) ROM.
Thanks. :good:
Possible to upload a transparent S-Planner month widget?

Hi, as I mentioned, this was posted by another member on the S3 section. And I was curious enough to test all the transparent widgets on the Note 2. Unfortunately, the ones that worked were these 3. The SPlanner made no effect and clock packages kept force closing. I will keep testing to find a suitable one and will update my thread if i do get it. Cheers
Great job my friend !
thanks mate
Thanks, but want to see if anyone has run into this. I get these weird letters where the date goes below the time. Any ideas.? I'm on a stock deodexed rom.

Hey Guys, I see that some of you have the issue with funny letters showing up on the widget. I am using this on the Omega rom and till now havent faced the issue. So I am not sure what exactly causes this. I will play around with some weather settings and try to figure out what is causing this. Sorry.
Work fine here for those who have problems they have to delete or rename the AccuWeather Widets.odx file first

How to have a transparent weather widget on this?
I don't think that mod includes the original weather widget. The original Accuweather Widget from S4 looks like this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39883604&postcount=8
Works fine on Vertigos ASOP CM10.1 Pac ROM, just installed Highest Solution, works well, same infofields like on original Rom! very smooth....but the Keyboard (download on bottom on first post) doesnt work after flashing, it will not be recognize in system settings on my rom! But great work to developers, just in case, i use APEX Launcher Pro.....

Yes. The one of my link is Accuweather from S4 (tested bymyself)
I flashed the one from your OP and unless I'm blind I confirm that it's a themed accuweather, not the real one.

Hello ..
I know the Note 3 is approaching and I've been using the Note 2 for a year now and I am totally happy with it. However, I really miss the JKay Deluxe for the Note 1. is there any possibility to find a version for the Note 2?
Appreciate your support.
thanks.
Great idea. Simplistic framework is not bad, but i miss jkay since i sold my S3 and bought note2.
Count me in too! Used JKeyz back in the dayz of Galaxy S#1 (GT-9000), than I did "the quantum leap" to Note2 and bought me an Simplistic... but when you think of it JKay is the king

The Lock screen options were really amazing. I know you can still have the same Lockscreens when using "WidgetLocker" but it is not embedded in the system and can not replace the system lock so in many cases it is useless.
In The Leak Of Samsung 4.3 Android For Our Note II, There Is NO TORCH WIDGET Included In It ! I'm Also Surprised That Nobody Has Ever Asked Or Uploaded Anything About It ! So Can Someone Do It For Me
Can't you just pull it from a 4.1.2 ROM?
