Do S3 themes work on Note 2? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
just wanted to know if the S3 themes work on the Note 2? or do we have to port them across.
I am really liking this theme.

The Note 2 has a different resololution, so i guess not. But you could try it, it may be stretched a bit though if it should work. Make a CWM backup first to be safe.

Yes off course, my bad. I meant to say screensize.

I dont think screen size matters if the resolutions are the same. Things are going to be at the same place relative to other elements. Heck GS3 profiles for the six axis controller, dependant on resolution works perfectly fine on the Note 2.

I've tried a few apks they don't work.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Had exactly the same thoughts about the Note.
Would love to have the same software functionality on My SGS2
-Maga
same here.
I also tried the apk's to no avail.
The display resolution is probably a deal breaker.
The folks from the Virtuous rom might know how this works.
Or start decompiling, use smali to figure things out
Ya i interested also.
Don't know can port the S-MEMO or not

As far as i know, the hardware-construction is the same, also the stylus-functionality should be no problem via finger-on-screen. Only wondering how the stylus really works...
Maybe the stylus is tracked like a sheet digitizer on a computer, but in this case it must have a battery, so maybe it has really battery and gets reloaded via an inductive hardware-component... But just thinkin' ^.^
Apart from the normal touchscreen, the note also has an actual wacom digitizer. So you would only be able to replicate the functionality with less precise results.

Worth upgrading over S3?

Hi guys, I have the S3 i9300 right now and was looking at the Note 2. Can someone else who has made the jump comment on it? Do you regret it at all?

Regrets? Hell no.
Theres so many amazing things about the note 2 but I dont feel like writing for years. But the S3 is also great so either way youre in good position.

I changed my S III for Note 2 also. The only feature that i am missing in S III now is the smaller more handy size against the punch of stylus & new features is not comparable to the S III. It is all about your needs!
I have both the s3 and Note2 in front of me right now, I will be keeping both for the forseeable future, not sure if I will use the s3 much now, but I like to have the option.

Sorry for the thread jack.

What do you like more about the Note compared to the S3
I've currently got the OG Note and can get the Note 2 or S3 tomorrow, but I'm not sure if there is such a big difference compared to the S3 as there was with the OG note and the S2?

I'm sure Apple fanboy will say otherwise, but I'm not one. The question is why the US get it so late. This is what we get to have a kimchi company making a better phone. But yea the screen will be significantly better, a non-pentile AMOLED. I'm glad I waited instead of trying to get GS3 earlier.

Yes.
The battery on Note II is huge! You can easily get 15 hours with very heavy use!
Been using both for the last week its not the same phone note II is a much more creative phone but it is to me a little too big!
The battery is a little bit better but not that much better maybe it will improve with custom rom and kernel

If you can handle the size and forking out more cash then yes otherwise no.
The only major criticism I have against the note 2 is the screen sharpness, the text just doesnt look as crisp as it doescon the S3.
Everything else is better, faster and smoother on the note 2.

Note 2 w/ Galaxy S4 Features

What features can we possibility get from the Samsung Galaxy 4 on the Note 2? I know we cant get infrared. Maybe dual camera or dual recording from a custom rom.

Obviously not anything hardware dependent like infrared but dual camera, S-Translator, airview with your finger, eye scrolling and all that neat stuff.

Air view with finger may be hardware. The way Sony did touchless touchscreen was with a super sensitive capacitive matrix so samsung may have done something similar.
I have no idea how they did it, just trying to ensure expectations are realistic lol.

Maybe it's just me but I don't see much of a need for Air View with the finger since we have that with the S Pen. I just think it would make more sense on the S series devices instead of the Note devices.

Doubt that. The ir blaster is located at the top of the phone (along side the 3.5 mm headphone jack). Unless there's another one along side the standard sensors on the face of the phone.
Anyway, a "feature" I'd like to see ported is 4.2.2. I can't wait to get my hands on that project butter.
Also, the camera, music player, photo gallery and video gallery all seem prime for porting.
A feature I don't want ported is that crazy settings menu with tabs and settings all over the place like some kind of settings-bomb went of and blew settings-pieces all over the place.

Some people say that there's more power in the s4 so that's why they're heading to the s4. Others are going for the smaller size cause they can't handle the note. And others have bought into the special features

My Choice
My Epic 4G died a few days ago and I had an upgrade. I chose the Note 2 over the S4. Battery life, bigger screen (to make up for the loss of my keyboard) and SPen plus other things that I cant put into words sold me. I used both side by side and just loved the Note2. When we get 4.2.2 I think that will make the note 2 even more awesome...IMHO. Now I have TWRP on it and trying out ROMs...Loving the Note 2. :good:

Try synergy. Best rom imohop. I have flashed at least a 100 on my S3. Since I bought the note 2 this is the only rom for this phone. It is stock on speed, but I themed it with a seperate program and have it just the way I like it.

I don't think the megapixels have much to do with low light as the quality of the sensor itself and f.stop and aperture. I'd much rather a lower MP with better sensor and F.stop than all the megapixels in the world.
But i get your point nonetheless.

In two days you will say "I will never buy a smaller phone than this ever again!" Trust me.
Note II is the best phone I have ever had.
You will either love it or hate it, to me its a boon, coming from a dell streak, its actually smaller but with a bigger screen, even in its Otterbox Defender its actually slimmer.

This is the best phone first you should root and install cwm to install other roms, you could install sammy roms or aosp roms whic doesnt include all the s pen and sammy apps, good luck
Is there a volume wake mod for stock roms ? I mean wake up the device by pressing the volume buttons.

the first think that you should do is check that it doesn't have SDS affected chip.
I agree with the fact that when you have used it for 2 or 3 days you'll never buy a smaller phone!

I also came from a Nexus and didn't feel that the phone was too big. The Nexus isn't a small phone.
But if you try using a smaller phone, like an iphone, it feels like using a watch...
