Hi Guys,
Not sure when samsung will wake up and update note 10.1 2014 edition to kitkat with magazine UX, meanwhile can anyone suggest widgets or launcher which can mimic that...
Chameleon Launcher was one option but its not getting updated and does not work well

I'm interested as well. Any takers?
Why are people so hard up for this Magazine UX? It's just another gimmicky skin. Pass!

But it's the LATEST gimmicky skin.... Gotta be at the forefront of these things... :silly:
I have, in front of me, a Note Pro 12.2. After 5 days I find I never use it. In fact, I've replaced the launcher with Apex.
Well it is kit Kat after all. I just don't know why people want the launchers to look the same.

The Touchwiz ICS leaked for AT&T this week doesn't have the stock google ICS calendar or launcher (boo..).
However I found they are on Google play as someone with an S2, frustrated at the touch wized ICS, has just extracted the code for the ICS Launcher and Calendar.
You do not need to root to add these. they are normal apps.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.concentriclivers.calendar
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...iwiY29tLmNvbmNlbnRyaWNsaXZlcnMubGF1bmNoZXIiXQ..
These were developed and work on the S2.
I'm not on AT&T Note - I'm international - so I can't test on the touch wized ICS yet for Galaxy note.
Can someone please test these work on the Note with touch wiz ICS? Interested in knowing it they work with the full HD screen.
If it works this could mean the best of both worlds... Touch wiz and the best of stock ICS. I'm probably going to be proved wrong here...

Seems to work find on my GNote, but to be honest, the new Calendar that came with the ICS leak is more functional. It also integrate better with the S-Pen.

thanks.
is it full screen? - can you post a screenshot maybe.
What's changed in the new touch wiz Calendar then, I thought it was the same as before apart from more widgets?
I can't get the S-Pen to read my handwriting.
seems to work
The ICS Calendar seems to work, I haven't fiddled with it too much but it loads, and the widget works on the homescreen and doesnt crash. I'll update if i runn into problems.
The is gallery works as well (for viewing)
Doesn't work well for setting wallpaper tho
Thur u arrrrrrgh
The ics launcher is a 4x4 Grid and leaves a lot of empty spaces on the edge and top.

Here's a screenshot.
The new ICS touchwiz Calendar looks the same as the GB version but adds pinch to zoom and attaching S-Notes. So it covers some of the features that were touted in the ICS calendar.
The handwriting recognition for the S-Pen has always sucked.
Thanks!
So happy to have the stock calendar- I don't like the look of the touchwizzed version...

Note the international GB version already has pinch to zoom
Here are the screenshots. The Calendar on the leaked version looks better and has better functionality for the Note i717.

I see what you mean. Its at the lower level I think the stock calendar has better functionality - the pinch to zoom is more powerful I think especially at the day level.
Also the month overview at least shows you how full your month is
plus whoever choose the large font size for the TW calendar that ,means every word is cut off ,should be shot.

Hi,
is there a working TouchWiz5 for the SGS3 with 5 lines in the homescreen available? Sad to have such a big Display and only 4 lines available for the Widgets
I only found ports for the Galaxy Note or other phones, which are to big or to small for the SGS3 ...
Another row (and column) would be perfect... Is there a simple hack for that?
Use Nova

Send me your launcher, I can try to mod it for you. Ill just have to snap together an emulator
I think you can find it on themes & Apps forum
Take a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...me-galaxy-s5-tw-launcher-accuweather-t2678617
Do you want the stock 4.3 look ? If I remember well, there is one too, but this is lot faster and, in my opinion, classier .
Can someone port the Magazine Launcher from Tab Pro 8.4 to our note 2? I tried installing the .apk with permissions etc but it crashes

Hi Ravi, Thanks for the message and glad u well! The S5 Launcher is great but I meant the launcher with magazine style tiles - http://www.phonearena.com/news/Sams...-off-on-the-Galaxy-TabPRO-and-NotePRO_id52203
The S5 doesnt seem to come with it, I know we can have pull up but I wanted the good looking Tile effect Widgets and thought a port might work better than a theme

its too much laggy... too much means its totally unresponsive sometimes.
thats why we stopped.
as 4.4.2 came first we only wanted that launcher badly and madly
as s5 leaks werent there at that time.
maybe if somebody interested it can be ported again.
but if somebody is up to the task.
but for end users forget about it.
wont work good if not extensive work is done on it.
thats why s5 launcher is preferrable and it doesnt lag.

you could take the note 4 accu weather http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-mini/themes-apps/app-note-4-apps-s4-mini-t2910866
There are many working, but if you don't want any launchers, you will get stuck with the 4x3 one.

The reason you want to port are extremely minor. If you want If you don't like the icons then use a Icon pack if you want the extra number row use a keyboard like swiftkey and all google widgets are the for the Z2. All your issues can be solved without porting a single app -_-

i know about all that, i'm not dumb tho, but: original stuff is better than 3rd party apps, would be great to have official Z2 keyboard with 5 rows and the icon packs doesn't support 5.0.2 yet (i guess, bcz i tried)
