A lot of people are asking about clo k widgets games and whatnot...the same thing happened over in the note forums while I was there...so I made a gigantic list of apps games widgets and a bunch of other awesomeness.
As with anything read first as some customizations were made specifically for the note...I am going to move this info over here but for now here is the link to my thread over in the note forums...

Give it a shot there is a TON of information that is useful to newer and exoerienced users:thumbup:

Where did the Ultimate Doird link go?? I saw it last night but now I can't find it O.O
Yeah I saw it last night too. Looks like the mods closed it, don't know why though. I read something about Fancy Widgets being included in the ROM but I'm not sure that was the reason.

Fancy Widgets
I don't see any official reason from the Mods yet but it looks like any posts with the words "ultimate droid" or "ultimatedroid" have been deleted. I saw several posts indicating it was the inclusion of Fancy. I'm disappointed but that's what the rules are for. May be able to get it from their web site but I can't seem to get any results from the search function.
Too bad. Awesome ROM except that if I try to connect Wifi I get spiraled into a boot loop.
Looks like the G2/DZ is not yet officially supported on their site.
I installed the UD rom and wasn't very impressed because it didn't include ADW settings or Cyan settings granted it has UD settings but they were limited. As for the Fancy Widget it is only the free version from market so I dont see why that was a problem
I know people probably ask this 1000 times a day but:
I recently got a ICS ROM on my phone and can't find and decent apps Googling things like "Top ICS apps" all the results seem to me targeted at new users. I am looking for the must have apps for advanced people running custom ROMs and writing their own apps.
apex launcher. that's all i can think of that's ics exclusive that i use.

Would those of you who use apex launcher try nova launcher. I tried it and while apex launcher is nice real nice, I cant stand the lag when I open the app drawer.

I have ZERO lag on apex when opening the app drawer (and no Apex is not a system app on my phone) but I will give Nova a try regardless.
I also second Chrome and Apex/Nova Launcher as the must haves so far. Honestly most good apps for ICS are going to be available for older android OS's as well just because of the huge installed user base that exists for froyo/gingerbread. Only 3% of all android devices are currently running ICS

Wow, I find it quite funny that you openly admit that there is likely 1000 other threads C covering this issue but you posted anyways.
The reason there are not many results on Google (which I find hard to believe) I'd because ova has not been out long enough with high enough market penetration for useful ics only applications to be created.

A new user interface from Samsung, termed Pure Breeze UI has been released and Android users, especially those that are intent on keeping their phone screens neat and organized should go and try it! Samsung has said that the main focus of this user interface will be proper organization of the widgets and more streamlined application managing.
available in both free and paid versions
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.smcl.spblauncherlite&hl=en
The Lite version is free and has the same features as the full version, but with some limitations on the number of items you can organize. You can easily switch between Pure Breeze and your default home screen by a simple change in the Settings application.
Enjoy Pure Breeze, and get simply organized!

It lags a lot for me I can't try it properly, and not a good start

The reviews on the Play Store don't look too promising... I tend to trust the reviews as well as Android users tend to be fairly honest when it comes to reviewing apps. It doesn't look like it was updated recently either??

Hey guys, I am not from around here. But I need your help. My friend has a Galaxy Note 2 with Android Revolution HD 11.2. I am the one who does all the mods for him. He is happy with it, but after seeing PA Halo he really wants it. But a note 2 without touchwiz s pen features is no good. So what I need help with is, is there any touchwiz based ROM that has Halo already implemented or planning to be implemented soon. Also, can it or will it ever be implemented? The threads are too confusing for me as I am not used to bring in the Galaxy Note 2 thread. Please help me.
Thanks in advance.

I don't there are any TW ROMs with halo
Check out ninja SMS from the play store
It offers a similar effect as halo but it only works for SMS

If he really needs the SPen features, but really wants to use PA, then you can install GMD SPen control and Papyrus. GMD allows you to set up triggers for pen out/in actions as well as SPen gestures and floating quicklaunch bars for common SPen apps and actions. Papyrus is, IMO, the best SPen app on the market. Both apps will cost a couple dollars, but well worth it for gaining back 90% of the SPen functionality on an AOSP ROM.
Also, with PA, you can add permanent apps to HALO that you find convenient for opening in a floating window.
The only feature I haven't found a suitable replacement for is the cut/copy feature of the SPen's side button.
Unrelated sidebar, speaking of cut/copy, Cut Copy is a great band. You should check them out.

Thank you jallenhayslett, I'll look into that. But, I am from India and debit card support here is a hit an miss in Google play store. Most of can't pay in the play store and credit cards are rather rare. I also refuse to download cracked stuff. No piracy policy.
Do any of the touchwiz based ROM developers plan to add Halo? I am willing to wait a few weeks.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I doubt its going to happen. Halo is a PA development, AOSP, and beta at that. The closest thing I've seen that exists for TouchWiz is an app/service called Floating Notifications. It's in the Play Store, but I'm quite certain its a paid app.
---------- Post added at 06:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:12 PM ----------
You could also consider something I saw on XDA's front page a couple weeks ago. Its called Bubble Launcher. I haven't messed with it, but it looks capable and promising.
Floating Notification is pretty similar to PA Halo
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I agree that Halo is a PA feature. But from what I got to know off of the nexus 4 thread, its now open source and all are allowed to implement it. That's why I asked if any developers are planning on it
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
It might be possible, but based on my limited knowledge of the systems, implementing it into Samsungs system would be more trouble than most devs are willing to tackle. That doesn't mean its impossible, though. Stock Sammy ROMs are now implementing floating windows and such. So, given enough time, and a curious enough dev, it could happen.
Hopefully that curious developer doesn't have to be me. I already have enough coding work at college as it is.

Thanks etecdailey, please give me some feed back after a few days of usage. My friend isn't very skilled at troubleshooting. So.... I have to make sure that its stable before flashing it for him. And I also thank all the others for making me feel at home.

I found a post on Android Guys or something that had all of the newer 4.4 APK files to download like the new launcher and google search and things of that nature... the article said it "may work on any Android device", but did not specifically state WHICH devices... Anyone tried these yet on a Note 2 and what success have you had? I am specifically interested in the launcher, search, camera, and keyboard... would love to have those. Thanks!
