Hey guys,
I have a few questions for the note 2...
1) Does the white version of this phone get dirty?
2) If i put a screen protector will the s pen work fine?
1) nope. today i was watching a review by phonenow and they said surprisinglu the white doe not get dirty by any means..
2)it depends on the quality of screen protector. so it can be both ways itcan not effevt or affect it too

2: Unless there is something radically different about the Note II screen or pen, then the iShield screen-protector should work absolutely fine it all works perfectly fine with my Note I
I hope this helps?

idk if yall know what safestrap is but its the recovery hash of codes made for the droid 3,4 raz and other motorola phones but the cool part is anything 3.0 and up has the abilty to multiply os's like 5 slots you can choose from it would make testing roms much easier if we could get this, i no developer so i couldnt make it happen but maybe someone will read this and make some magic...
I just installed 3.0 for my spare Droid 4, and it's actually pretty cool. I wonder if they got the idea from the (now dead) Boot Manager app in the Play Store. (I used to love that app)
This would be pretty awesome to have on our Nexus phones. I wonder if it's too large of a project seeing as how Nexus phones aren't locked down as much as motorola phones?
We have TWRP and CWM. No need for a bootstrap. You want to switch between multiple ROMs easily? Just use a NANDroid of each one and alternate as desired.
Razr and other motorola safe strap compatible phones usually have a memory card expansion slot, whereas our phone is solely dependent on that 16gb. So its not really a feasible option to give up the precious storage for the partition slots.

Ah, good point.
I had the Note 10.1 Tablet for a couple of months and it was a really great device. It had a lot of great features? I'm just wondering if anyone is working on a port for the 10.1 tablet Rom to the Note 2 I feel like it should work great, considering the Note 2 is quadcore and all. I loved the quick menu with the mini apps too. I've searched google a lot for an answer to this but haven't found anything so I thought I'd post a new topic. If it's been posted already Mod please move or delete. Thanks
I don't intend to be rude do you understand anything about Android? My computer is quad core can I port the rom there to? It is impossible to do what your asking, it would be easier to write it from scratch.

Actually in this case it is theoretically possible as they do share a lot of architecture, both are Exynos 44xx series SoC's with a lot more hardware similarities. Now whether it is worth the time and effort, that is a different story.

Assuming you want tablet touchwiz ui. Someone on another forum/site was working on it with original note.
But this is not an easy task.
What exactly you want from the galaxy note 10.1? Is it tablet mode? If so thats easily available for us.
This is xda. You could start the development.

Hi All
Current nexus 4 owner considering upgrading to a Note 2 !!!!
Have a couple of quick questions wondering if anyone can help.
1, Can you use headsets designed for iPhone with it, the nexus 4 is fine, as in the mic and play button work (volume still doesnt but ive learnt to live with that)
2. How is the CM port on it. Problem I have with Samsung products is that I despise touchwiz. I love, vanilla stock android.
Which brings me onto 3.
3. If Cm isn't great, would it at least be possible to install the "People" "Phone" and "Messaging Apps" and I think I could live with that
Many thanks for your help
1. Don't know abour iPhone but sometimes I use my sis S ii earphones it works fine.
2. cm and rooting is easy to port on it but you will loose S pen effets rooting makes S pen useless. And if younlike atock you can use apex launcher yiu can get the paid version in free from blackmart.
3. Yup in note ii you have motions if you're messaging someone then u can uust put the phone on your eyer and call him n9 need to go to dialer to dial

1. I have the Beats Mixrs, plat/pause and mic work with my note 2 so you should be fine.
2. CM, I belive, is mostly stable and getting better and better thanks to the dedicated devs.

Cyanogenmod and AOSP ROMs are by and large in a strong beta state right now on N2. And make nice daily driver roms now imho. SPEN still works on them, but many of the native features are not functional.

Also wanted to note that when I double pressed play/pause button it would skip song.

Rooting has no effect on spen. The pen even works on aosp roms as an input device, just doesn't have all of the proprietary features like screenshots, etc.
I like to break stuff!

OTOH even a "light" TWiz ROM is 900MB-1GB...whereas an AOSP ROM is ~150MB

1 the note 2 comes with its own headset with in line controls that works just fine, even has multiple size and shaped pairs of earbuds to ensure a good fit.
2. There are plenty of stable AOSP/CM source built roms including cm10/10.1, paranoid android, vanilla rootbox, linaro carbonrom, aokp, etc. You will lose some of the features of the note such as motions and the button functions of the spen.
3. There are AOSP themed twiz roms that retain all of the stock features but look more like AOSP, including either themed dialer, mms , contacts, or having them replaced with their aosp counterparts.

The note2 is a definite update from the N4 imo ibwould jump ship this is the best phone

I can only speak to #1
You cannot use EarPods with the Note 2 for phone calls, the other end gets a high pitch sound. I tested this on two Note 2s and a Galaxy S3. You can use the Apple Ear Buds for phone calls without issue, it's only an issue for the new EarPods. This was/has been a huge bummer for me because I cannot stand in-ear, I feel like I'm underwater when I talk and they are not comfortable. I have yet to find a competitive solution to the passive sound and comfort that EarPods offers.
Also the AT&T Note 2 does not ship with any earphones, the Galaxy S3 does.
CM is going to suck. S-pen, MHL, GPS and a dozen other things will be either nonfunctional or flaky as hell.

Spen works. Gps is flaky for now but there is a fix being worked on and just had to be released into the nightlies. Mhl does not work. Everything else works on cm10.1.

Huh?
GPS? Works fine here on PACMan ROM 3
SPen? Works, apart from the SPen service and Sammy's SPen Note (use Papyrus)
MHL? I've never used it...but I suspect it works in some capacity...as you haven't demonstrated yet a working knowledge of what does and does not work on Cyanogenmod on the Note 2 presently.
Idk why is this even a question. Hardly a challenge indeed. Note2 is amazing.

I'm not bashing CM or the developers. Glad they got the spen working.
MHL is a dealbreaker.
Things like the GPS working on some roms, some nightlys, for some users, some of the time is what keeps me away. It's a difficult process and I'm sure it will all work eventually. In the meantime I'd rather put up with the uglier touchwiz interface and have full use of this awesome hardware.

I'd be very interested to see how little TouchWiz remains in some of these. I'd like to keep the S-Pen stuff, but man TouchWiz is just plain ugly.
Pure stock is how I go this phone is so amazing on its own no need to change anything

Hello people,
I am currently searching for the best tablet around. All it has to be is some good specs, nice resolution and good value.
I would love to get an ipad mini retina ... but in my country its so expensive. So, my next option seems to be the LG G Pad 8.3 because of its strong specs and mostly nice screen size and resolution.
My question is... will any devs work on it? I would love extra support and some custom stuff to play with.
CM Rom for it would be lovely but it seems like a dream.

Yeah, a Dev just picked up one and said he is going to be working on a CM11 port for this device. I heard it was the dev or one of the devs that worked on the HP Touchpad. We have TWRP and CWM ready to roll when it hits.
btw questions go in the Q and A section (for future reference )

Also, try looking in the subforum for Android development to get an idea of what's going on.
Thank you for the replies guys.
I apologize for posting in the wrong section, I didn't use the xda forums for long and posted in a rush.
So, yeah I saw the dev, he seems pretty good and thats nice. It such a pitty if that tablet will not have xda support.
I don't see any great disadvantages with it... just the price.. but still its not that bad.

My bad.. I meant support from xda developers by the means that some devs will make custom ROMS etc..
Also, I would like to see more people in this forum section exchanging ideas and helping each other to solve any kind of issues.
My personal opinion is that you should get a Nexus 7 because they get the best support. The LG is not bad but the Nexus devices always get the best dev support as they are considered dev devices.

What you say is right.. but I am not touching the nexus because its screen is so smaaaall - sadly.
And I can't wait for another 3,5,8 months who knows for the new Nexus. So, I probably have to go with this one, it seems the best option.

I wouldn't cal a 5 inch screen small, but I currently have a Galaxy S3 and a Nexus 7, but hey, I prefer the portability, so all I need is 7 inches, and I can use a keyboard and mouse for things that need more accuracy, but I have never been a fan of phablets or iPad size tablets.....

You need a keyboard on n7?
If dev support and long-time updateability are important to you, buy ONLY devices which sell very well and where development is already in full swing.
All else is futile.
Devices which sell only smaller numbers are quickly not getting manufacturer updates anymore, and the probability that there's a dev who has the device is very low.
I'm usually absolutely not the kind of guy who does what all people do - on the contrary, I despise those "sheep". But with Android devices, this is the way to go, period.

I also have a couple of N7s and they are excellent with superb support. However, the G Pad doesn't seem much bigger, yet the screen is very noticeably bigger.
