Is anyone else anti aosp besides me? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Leave it at this, the shortcut to the active call gets the cake to me. Why waste so much energy to get to the active call? Multitasking is generous with Touchwiz.

In any case then, I'll ask had anyone found a launcher which takes you to the active call? I miss the end button.

not sure what you mean, not even from your first post...
like when someone calls you, does the call screen pop up?
well if that's your question.. mine does. I think it worked for TW ICS, but now i'm using APEX and it's working for sure on that launcher.

Just you. AOSP is so much better than Touch****

Third Samsung device but I hate Touchwiz

I'm sorry if my English doesn't work for you. The thing I'm trying to say is, when your multitasking and want to switch between apps and phone Call multiple times between during a phone call, Touchwiz will take you to the active call and make it so much easier when you press the phone on the launcher, you know the littler icon next to the app tray button than takes you to your active call unlike aosp which taker you to a dialer only, and not an active call.

Touchwiz is nice. The launcher not so much but everything else works.
To do what you want on AOSP you have to pull down on the notification bar and pres on the phone call notification. That's what I do on Touchwiz too.

i actually love gingerbread touchwiz way better than stock GB also love the dock bar cuz thats what i use alot. but after trying the 4.0 kang version damn i fell in love. GB TW has alot of cool features like turn ur phone over to mute it (perfect for when u dont wanna get up in teh morning), slide to call or message someone, browser leaves u in the exact same spot, dialer knows numbers when u type the names, i honestly dont know why ppl hate it sooo much. GB TW> stock GB but stock ICS> ICS TW. i honestly am gonna miss some features especially the turn over to mute cuz i REALLY REALLY!! hate trying to fiddle with it when ur half asleep trying to turn off the damn alarm when i could just turn it over and BAM it stops

I'm never gonna like aosp, if it wasn't for touchwiz would I be buying Samsung?

I do this also, I just use the notification bar, that's what I call multi tasking.. Not going to the home page and then clicking the call icon. I believe you can also hold home for the recent tasks. I do that a lot for multi tasking

Heck, that skyrocket ICS that was released a while ago by eugune or something looked better and felt better than the leaked ICS. **** TOUCHWIZ. Altho i prefer touchwiz on Gingerbread as it looks better than aosp, more suited for a larger screen.

Touch wiz

If you're gonna be making a hundred phone calls a day and multitasking between notes emails contacts etc, is there anything better than touch wiz to help you work more efficiently?

Only thing that stands out to me from touch wiz is the contact sync function. This is similar to HTC sense and integrates all your contacts from various social networks such as twitter and fb. It also syncs the contact pic from fb.
This function doesn't make me miss HTC sense at all.
Other than that I hate stock touch wiz look. It has a iphone + childish look to it. And bloat got me ditching stock rom all together lol.
Right now I'm using paradox rom which is fully themed so even tw looks good!
On the other hand are you planning on flashing other roms or just keeping stock w launcher replacements?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
Right more I'm using Ms paradox love and am perfect with it. I like how the phone shortcut leads you to the active call rather than using aosp and getting a second call tab. I'm using the tw launcher from beastmod. Besides the phone button I really don't notice much with the differences between touchwiz and aosp other than the call log dialing features. Aosp has a much better call log with the slide to call or send message feature.

Space button = silent?

As I look at my keyboard, I see that my hard keyboard has a silent icon on the spacebar in the top corner. Does this mean that it is a silent icon? If so, how do I use it?
Same here, I'm super curious I've tried everything I could think of, Maybe if I figure it out ill tell you but I know someone is gonna beat me to it:/

Unlock your phone, slide out the keyboard out and hold the space bar. It would put your phone in silent/vibrate and press/hold the space bar again to return back to the volume level. This somehow doesn't work if the phone is locked or in the music player.

Best Messaging App

So the biggest thing I'd like in a messaging app is a back button on the top left corner. I know it's an iphone thing but I'm really used to it. I was wondering if anyone knew of anything like this? Go SMS has been good but that's the only feature I miss.

I find that the hardware back button is easier to reach.

I haven't needed to use it on this phone or my last, but you might try handcent and see if that has the functionality you're looking for.

There's more to it than that though. The back button takes you back to the last thing you were on (or at least it is suppose to) while the top left button takes you back to the first page of the app. This is a useful feature because i often press home right after finishing a text then when I reopen the app to text someone else, it takes me back to the last person I texted. Then I have to close the app and open it again.
I think the Jellybean messaging app has this.
That is exactly correct! Thanks. I found it. However, the last update broke MMS..

Did you look through the settings? Sometimes you have to activate it. Also deactivate the notification of the stock app.
Yeah i did. Go sms works for m
Sent from my LG-LS970 using Tapatalk 2
Didn't want to repost. So I'll bump this and ask.
What's the best Messaging app you're using? I'm using handcent, but I want that's fast and fluid as well (sorta like the iphone messaging app.. the only thing it does right haha)
I'm not a fan of the animations on the Stock app or Handcent. I did like 4.1 Messaging app but the MMS bug was too much
Try GO SMS PRO. Once you have it installed, go into settings>basic>running mode>lite
Also, with Go SMS Pro, you can send group text (like iPhone does it). Only thing I hate is that when getting group texts, phone becomes very slow to a frustrating point if multiple people from group text is replying at once.
Go SMS was very bloaty for me. But I'll try that. Thanks!

Honestly.....

Why does Google do such weird things all the time? I know other people have to think the same thing about why they design an OS the way they do. For instance clicking the clock in the status bar takes u to time settings instead of clock or calendar(when we all have auto time enabled)? And I'm pretty sure(at least I hope) its a bug, but the stupid new camera rotation is beyond dumb. And why they took the so much fun camera effects out, I may never know... I do love Google but just question their Dev team sometimes... sometimes a lot
But that is why we have these wonderful devs across the forums. I can't thank you guys/gals enough!!!!

The slow camera rotation is intentional. The Android Dev team spoke about it. As for camera effects, I don't know how many people actually used them. Sure, Mac users seem to use them quite a bit, but I don't know about Android users.

Why on EARTH would u want camera lag when changing the phone orientation... Then u end up missing Ur shot!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
The rotation lag doesn't bug me too much. It usually takes a second or less to rotate. I usually know what orientation I want my picture to be, so I'll press the camera app in that orientation.

Just lock rotation when you want to use your camera, if you are using a rom with toggle rotation it wont be that hard to press a toggle.
I personally always disabled rotation, and only enabled it when i want to use it.

Another thing that bothers me is app drawer. the black background is still stuck in the Gingerbread era.
If I lock rotation to to a pic in landscape its going to take the picture in portrait but I guess u could just rotate it in the gallery... But still useless as fuhk. I'd rather deal with the lag of swiping to my pictures than the actual camera itself... Come one Google... You're better than this... Back to 4.1 camera I am

IMO the black background is nice to quickly identify icons. U know u can always use third party launchers to change that..

+1. Is it even worth stepping back from jedi 6.1.2? The only thing I can think of is the better battery life of the stock rom over the custom ones if all we are getting is the multi windows software from this.

I've noticed that there are new ink colors for the pen on the lock screen. Also, it feels like haptic feedback is a bit weaker.
Anyone know if we can customize the toggles in the notification window?

Try under display. I see it on clean ROM, and someone said theyd noticed they were rearranged I bet they included that as well.
Don't see anything under display. Bummer I guess

After the update, tried to hold down the back button but will not activate the multi window.
I can only activate it on the notification bar.
