how many people use the qslide? I disabled that a couple of days ago because I never used it.
Awesome, I hope devs get working soon. I use QSlide quite often, it would be amazing for texting as well if the Messaging app could show the inbox first (maybe WhatsApp will do that, if the functionality is added).
I use it daily. Hope for many apps

God dammit LG, stop making me want to use your firmware. :silly:
No but seriously, this is really cool if it does pan out.
Glorious Exposition Comrade!
Yes I use QSlide, come at me bro
I use q slide every once and a while. it's kinda handy but since I started using the split view port I hardly ever touch it lkl

Does the note have a text messaging app similar to iphone? I like how my wife's iphone has all the text pop up on her screen when it is locked. Does android have a similar setup? The iphone can pop up multiple text if they are not viewed right away. Thank you. I have never had a smartphone so don't know what android has to offer.
Just go to market and look at it. They're all like **** load of apps like that.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
But does it come with a stock app like that like the iphone has? I had a smartphone for about 2 weeks last year and found out that alot of apps don't always work properly.
Handcent in the market works pretty much perfectly doing what you want. The advantage of android over IOS is that if you don't like a stock application, odds are someone has written and published one that does what you want.

Go SMS is pretty iphone-ish. Stock theme even looks like it.

Get Go SMS Pro from the Android Market. Within this app there is an iPhone Theme. You can even tweak the settings to enable a pop-up or in the Notification Bar.

Nice app called Display Brightness. Posting this so people will stop starting threads asking how they can do this on ICS. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rubberbigpepper.DisplayBrightness&hl=en
i'd thank ya but ya had to be a wise guy about it.

thanks i like the app !
After trying this app today i can readily say it's terrible compared to the stock feature in GB.

I like it enough to put it on all my phones. I got bettter battery life because I could easily manage the screen brightness.

If you actually take the time to configure it the app is very nice. For example, set location to top, make bar wide, make fully transparent...and it operates very much like the stock with more features.
work great

I don't know why people love the Zoes so much, I hated the Sense gallery app, I just a nice, no frills way to organize & view my images, not give fancy slide shows for others
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Haha, I suppose that's the beauty of android - a tailored experience for everyone. I like how you can have events organized by location and I do enjoy the preview slide shows.
Zoes: I like the 3 second snap shots. They're annoying to share but a neat way to remember an experience.

"A tailored experience for everyone" - I like it! I'll have to remember that phrase especially when I'm talking to Apple users.
I'm also intrigued by the Zoes, but have some mixed feelings about them. I tried to use them to take little "action shots" but found the timing to be very difficult to get right (sometimes it seems like the interesting part happens just after it stops, or it takes a moment to focus and you miss the beginning). It'd be nice to be able to tweak the duration, which got me thinking why not just have it where you press and hold the camera button and it does video/stills until you let go? Then I thought wait, why am I doing this again, why don't I just record a short video in the first place?
Not sure what the answers are, but I like that we're trying new ideas.

If you're taking zones for grabbing still frames, you can press the camera button and hold to get burst shots. You can also take video and then grab frames from that.

ohhh really, i have only tried dynamic so far but looks like i need to give another one a chance
I also like Knock². However I REALLY wish I can use Knock² as the lockscreen replacement. DynamicNotification during screen on was really laggy for me.
I'm definitely in favor of Knock²+ v2
Knock is pretty awesome. Dynamic is nice and is almost there. I own both tbqh. I'm using knock now though due to its more reliable breathing function. I like both a lot.
Sent from my Note II using Tapatalk 4
well i got knock and for what time ive used it, i do prefer it to dynamic
Hi,
I used Knock² for a few day now. It works great for me.
But I got two problems:
1. The content of a new Whatsapp message isn't shown, this makes the app useless to me, because I can tell what kind of message I received with the Notification LED. I hope this isn't a limitation from whatsapp...
2. The Notification isn't cleared when I press the "clear" Button.
I already contacted the developer about this issues. He hasn't answered yet.
I've been using dynamicnotications since it came out just after the Moto X and I like it better because it more closely simulates the Moto X. Also, I have a lot more control over the look and behavior, and can set it to breathe off after 6 seconds, then breathe back on every 30, or at whatever frequency I like. Knock is much less configurable regarding look and behavior.
Just tried knock and it's cool, very colorful (which might end up taking more battery) but def not the Moto X experience at all.
I'll stick with dynamic and see if he incorporates the laundry list of tweaks I suggested to make it even more like the Moto X.
Do we know if these apps truly use the battery-saving gains of not activating amoled black pixels?
i m using widgetlocker
will knock show notification on my widgetlocker lockscreen or it forms another lockscreen?
sorry for my bad English

Knock won't work with alternative lockscreens, says the description on google play.
Since today I'm using active display.
I think it's a great feature when it is directly integrated in your ROM.

Very nice. I hope CM 10.2 or AOKP 4.3 add this. I wonder if I can add myself to one of these and recompile? I'd have to do a bit of research first. Heh.
I purchased both. DyanicNotifications is not as pretty but it works, Knock2 is always really flaky on my old Note2 on multiple roms and also on my Note3 stock.
To me, DynamicNotifications does a great job of replicating the Motorola implementation. Knock2 has a completely different look/style/etc.
For this, I like DN, it's simple and true to the original. Works great on GNex. Now I have N5 so without amoled, it's not happening. I'll stick with my LED notification. I like turning on this beautiful screen anyway.
Ok I'm coming from a iPhone 5s it was a solid device the screen was just too small and I get bored easily. Now don't get me wrong the HTC m8 is a great device but there are some minor things that bug me enough to want to vent on here lol
1. The emoji's why are they so stupid looking coming from an iPhone I don't even know what some of my friends send me some times I can't find a text message app that replicates iPhone emoji
2. My texts have been being split and in 2 messages with the 2nd part first wtf!!!!!!!
3. I can't send videos because it says they are too big.......... This is bull**** I could send any video without an issue on my iPhone
4. Ads there's ads everywhere !!! I get so many pop ups it's crazy along with massive ads on apps
Do you guys have any suggestions? Tips? This is very frustrating
Aside from that I love my phone no other gripes but honestley if they issues don't pan out for me I'll be going back to iPhone. I kind of plan on it for the 6 but I may not be able to wait if I keep getting these annoyances.

Likewise I am coming from an iPhone. Yes.... IPhones are great. But you need to give yourself some time to get used to Android. I was on Android before. So switching back and forth is easy for me.
I don't have the issues that you seem to have. I think emojis have to do with the keyboard that you use. So try changing that. Never had the same issue with split text messages that you have. Yes in android ads are everywhere. Remember that Google is PRIMARILY a search engine company. .and how do they make money ? Yes by selling ads.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
try textra...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.textra
problem solved.
The HTC keyboard supports emoji, but it is a pain to switch to it. You can install another app or keyboard
The double text is due to the sender sending a text longer than 160 characters. The iOS automatically syncs them so you never noticed it's really two text. For android, some apps don't support this so that is why you see two text.
If you root, adaway will block 99% of the ads.
It'll take getting used to, but it's not bad. You just have to tweak. Some people love to tweak and some don't.
Emoji looks fine to me. They are different because Apple will sue them if they look the same. Mms is 600k limit on Apple and Android. That is an at&t thing. IPhone will compress up to a 19 second video which is pretty much not viewable on the other end. Sms are the exact same with splitting messages. If you are using imessage on iPhone it does not split the message and does not compress video as bad. Imessage and facetime are the best things about Apple's ecosystem and it takes a minute to get used to not having them anymore. As far as ads, I only booted the stock system once to make sure phone was working before I rooted and unlocked it. Most roms have all ads and bloat removed. HTC phones are pretty much meant to be rooted as HTC are one of the only ones left who aren't locking their phones down like Apple. I'm sorry if you are not happy with your purchase but it's not an iPhone. This phone is imo the best phone to ever hit the market. It will do so much more than an iPhone could ever think of doing. Email your videos if you need to send them. There are some look alike iPhone Emoji keyboards on the play store. You can even theme it like an iPhone. Just remember you are using an android now so it will be different. Stick with it and before you know it you will smile ear to ear once you see what this thing can do.

another for textra here, but just wanted to add to make sure you also install the textra emoji plugin. it might help your pain. imo splitting sms away from hangouts is a much better experience but different than apple.
where are you seeing ads? if you tell us we might be able to help point you in a better direction.

I use ChompSMS on my phones.
1. Root your phone
2. Flash a custom Rom to remove bloat
3. install Adaway to remove ads
4. use Google Hangouts or Textra for Emoji
it sucks that you need to do all that to improve your experience,I tip my hat for iphones they are clean and no bloat, but android is just so much better you can do whatever you want with it lol give it some time and you will start to adapt trust me i use both OS's and i love em both.
