I know it's virtually impossible but again its xda.
Is it possible to have 4.2 or 4.2.1 with s pen integration.
I know s pen works on touchwiz but I know there is no 4.2 touchwiz yet and it ain't gonna be before march I guess.
So is it possible ? Everyone I come across wants to see what s pen can do.
Even if I ignore them, my lil sis is obsessed with s pen and drawing.
Maybe s note and paper artist be portable to cm10.1 or whatever but multi window and air view... I sorta like it.

I think it's more of a driver thing. You can use a completely different launcher (no touchwiz) and still have the spen working instead of having to use your finger. I don't see why you can't port the driver over. It's a digitizer thing. Please correct me if I'm wrong people with more experience than me.
Launcher and 4.2 are different. I mainly want multi user

Was just curious if people are *that* much more happy with their Note 2 over their previous Note 1's. Not sure about an upgrade. I feel like my Note 1 was an experiment and they got the kinks worked out on the Note 2. I've played with the Note 2 at the store and liked it *most* of the time. Actually, Tmobile's demo seemed in better shape than AT&T's demo, but I have to stick to AT&T. I'm running Cm10 so I can have Android 4.1 and then load the 4.2 camera, clock, and keyboard.
If you're *lots* happier with your Note 2, I'd like to know why. Are the Samsung software upgrades (e.g. multiview) really useful or gimicky? I don't miss Samsung's snote now but still use a writing app (write) on my Note 1.
Also, I'm very weary of not getting those Android OS upgrades timely. Was almost thinking of going to Nexus 4 but would miss the stylus and screen size too much I think.

I would say if you dont use the SPEN like for everything its not worth it. I must say the screen on the NOTE 2 is better than the NOTE 1. But I am pretty anal about my screens. Speed wise Ive used my friends NOTE 1 thats MODDED also with custom roms. Not sure which one he is using but it was pretty fluid.
But this phone is one of the best phones Ive ever used. I get about a 22-24 hours without charging. I am a heavy user. Games, text, a sh**ton of emailing.
Dthere are many advantages over the note 1 Firstly being battery life. This monster has a real battery for the device size and use. Also the spen is so much more refined that you'll actually use it. The processor removes the need to mod and oc. All in all the note 2 is a far superior device.

Thanks for the comments so far.
Battery life isn't a big issue because I have two spare batteries for my Note 1, although it would be nice NOT to have to change batteries in a single day. My Note 1's back cover hardly stays on anymore because of taking it off to change batteries so often.
I like the form factor better on the Note 2. Seems like Samsung figured out that they could still have a large screen but make it narrower and taller than the Note 1.
I started playing with some floating apps on my Note 1. Makes me think multi-view would be useful on the Note 2. But multi-view only works with certain apps, right? Kind of limits its usefulness for sure. (And, yes, I know the Note 1 *might* get multi-view in an update, but I simply can't imagine it working anywhere near as well as it does on the better HW equipped Note 2).
What apps does multiview not work in? Thus far I've added every app that I've wanted on there.

Well those note 1 batteries won't fit the note 2 so you'd have to buy 2 more for the note 2,which you won't need.

I also came from the N1 and you are correct, the form factor of the N2 is nicer.
However, if you are a fan of Cm10 then that makes a switch questionable imho. Why? I happen to enjoy the s-pen apps, floating pop-up windows, and multi-windows etc that you loose using CM10
I rooted and am using one of the de-bloated stock based roms which allow me to add some other apps to multi-windows and tethering.
BUT, the nice thing about the N2 is you really don't need to root if you don't want to mess with it. The N2 runs solid and many preinstalled apps can be deactivated in the app manager.

Thanks. You hit on my very next questions about rooting/custom roms. I'd usually prefer not to root at all, but there are a couple of apps that I am a fan of that require root (like tasker and GMD gestures). And I'd definitely like tethering ability. Sounds like you have a setup that's exactly like I prefer. I've used custom ROMs but never used de-bloated stock based roms. Sounds exactly like what I would want on the N2 if I got it.
So are there stock based ROMs that include all the Samsung apps and spen features, e.g. snote, etc?
yes there are

It's not possible port the whole rom but at least you can theme your rom close to TW
I'm not expert, but I believe this is no easy task. It would require a lot of deep integration and lot of work.
I doubt it will be done.

It has no sense, since it would take very long time to do that, and it wouldn't even work well. And to make it some "stable", it would take too much time, time that I don't think anyone has. You can port some apps or make it look like samsung tw, as the comment above me said, but you won't be able to get multi-window or such, as I guess you want.
Why didn't you just buy a Samsung Note 8?
I have no problem with multitasking on the N7. Compared to my Note 2 which has pretty much the same multitasking capabilities as the N8, I'd go with the N7. Multi-windows isn't something I really use. Looks pretty but rarely has much real world use for me.
Hi guys, sorry if this has already been asked, but I have searched, and searched, and searched for the answer to no avail.....
Does the Note 8 run tablet apps or phone apps? - mainly interested in document editing for revision and general notes etc. that is, is the note 8 a big Note 2/3 or a little Note 10.1
Reason I'm asking is I'm trying to decide between 2014 10.1 and, to me, the more useful note 8 (portability is a big thing), I'm heavily invested in android phone apps and like the functionality but need a bit more productivity potential - Note 2 is just too small for my uses. The 10.1 2014 looks perfect for what I need - other than the size, if the note 8 is close, software wise, that would be the perfect device for me. Screen res doesn't really matter too much as I'm fairly happy with the low res ipad2 and both Are better!
I've got a Note 2 and use it in preference to my ipad 2 for note taking But I'm a bit fed up with the fact that in S-Note, when exported, the font has to be really big (so that you can read it on the note 2). Most of my reading is done on the ipad (size does matter sometimes) but that is all, so I tend to write on Note 2 and export for reading (revision) to an app called Notability (which I dearly wish would come to android). I think, correct me if I'm wrong, I'll be able to write smaller relative to the page on either the note 8 or 10.1, and hence exports will be better proportioned
Ultimately, I'm looking to dump the ipad for one device just having difficulty deciding which (and learn to give up notability and clash of clans lol)
Looking forward to the day that samsung release a program that allows you to properly sync s-note to PC as well - very surprised this hasn't happened yet!
Thanks for your time, if this IS a repeated question, direction to an answer. The question is are the apps tablet or phone, the rest is just a bit of background so you know why I'm asking, sorry if I waffle

The Note 8.0 with 3G or LTE can be used as a phone without any trouble, as long as you dont mind looking like a strange person with a 8 inch phone to your ear (or just use a headset ). It does not have a tablet UI, since the notificationbar comes down from the top, not the lower right corner.
As for the S-Note parts, i write in handwriting on the Note 8.0 and when i had the ported S-Note for my S3 i had no trouble reading the notes on that screen, even tho its smaller than the Note II with the same resolution.
I say dump the iPad for notes and such, and keep playing the games that are there, cuz there are some nice ones, like Clash of Clans

Yeah, at native size the s-note files are fine. Unfortunately most of my notes were originally in iPad Natability format - these can be exported as PDF but need to zoom to read - a right royal pain in the ... Good to know 8 has better result
Wasn't going to use 8 as a phone, got note II for that, but good to know it uses the phone apps - all I want really is a bigger note II as it works well for me. Time to squirrel away a little pennies (and persuade the better half she really wants an ipad 2 lol)
An apology in advance - just seen post saying don't post questions in this section - SORRY, my bad
Lesson learned, won't happen again

there's a bluetooth pen for the galaxy note 10.1 that could be used with this device also. it acts as an s-pen and a bluetooth phone receiver.

Nice, could that not be used with the other notes too?
i'd say yes since it just uses bluetooth to connect.
Its working as both. Phone and tablet. As some of my tablet only apps like sketch tablet edition can be use in note 8.0

Interesting, wonder what other "tablet format" apps work on 8 (without root)
I'm not an expert but I think the Note 8 works fine as both phone and tablet.
I will get a phone SIM in a few days and see how it works. I have had a data only and this is fine.
Notifications coming from top keeps the eco system right with our phones. Actually I like it better on the top.
Whatever programs that I used on my ThinkPad Tablet seem to work fine on the Note.
I do email, read (Kindle), movies and have just installed Documents to Go which is my big productivity suite.
The OCR is very good and much faster for me that "typing" on the tablet.
I think the Note 8 is a winner though 32/64 GB RAM should have been stock.
I'm assuming you live in the US. There are different versions of the Note 8, some have built in telephony. The N5100 is basically an 8 inch smartphone. Its not carrier supported but works on T-mobile and ATT HSPA network. The SCH i467 is sold by ATT and works on their LTE network. It has the telephony capabilities removed, phone calling can only be done using VoIP. There are other models of the Note 8, but these two are the best choices for the US.

I live in Israel and I bought my Note8 in Germany.
I expect it to work as a phe too.
It's a tablet
Mine is both. LTE for fast data and full telephony here in Oz.
Galaxy Note 8.0 Xposed Build JDQ39.N5120XXCMG7 / Baseband N5120XXBMD9 / Kernel CivZ-SpherEngine-Rev1.2 on Telstra LTE
Because the Note 8 has the button in portrait mode apps seem to display more like a phone.
I had the same question recently, and this is what I've discovered.
Android basically has 3 types of interfaces.
There is the phone interface, the small tablet interface, and the full tablet interface.
If you look at the Nexus 4, 7, and 10, you can see the differences. The Nexus 7 interface is kind of a blend between the Nexus 4 and the Nexus 10. There are some features and programs that look like the phone interface, and other features and programs that use the full tablet interface.
As an 8 inch tablet, the Galaxy Note 8.0 uses the "small tablet" interface that the Nexus 7 does.
Hi there guys, I am totally new with android device, especially the samsung note 2014.
What should I do with it, what are the essential things to be done? (with my ipad, I jailbroke it immediately)
and ppl have been saying that the note 10.1 is the best device for taking note, but with the preinstalled Snote, I find it really hard and ugly to take note compare to notatbility on the ipad. So what is the app for this? that make the note 10.1 superior to the ipad?
etc.
Could someone please give me some pointers to start with?
Thanks a lot.
