[Q] Feather Live Wallpaper? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

Maybe I'm missing something or maybe I did something after I rooted, but I don't see the live wallpaper with the feathers falling? I see plenty of adverts about getting this "like the Note 2 has". But mine doesn't seem to have it.
Here is where they are even offering a copy in the play store
While I could just add that one, I'm curious on why we (or at least I) don't have the original?

it's only on the international version

Thanks. I browsed the international note forums, but didn't see a dump of the live wallpapers... has anyone gotten this on their sprint note?

I've got a International Note 2 (GT-N7100) and it definitely didn't have any live version of the feather wallpaper. It came with a jellyfish live wallpaper, a slideshow-type live paper and a couple of information-type papers (news & stock quotes), but no live papers based on the nature-themed dandelion or feather wallpapers.
I have seen the live versions of these in the Play store, but wasn't very impressed with their quality when I tried them on a Nexus 7. I assumed they were knock-offs that used lower quality resources than Samsung probably would have done.

Maybe there was never an 'original' Samsung one... Just live versions of what we had as a static ones. Oh well. I agree, the ones on the play are ok, but not quite as nice as the static ones in terms of quality.

Verizon wallpapers and live wallpapers

Could someone who picked up a Galaxy Nexus on Verizon put up your wallpapers and live wallpapers? I feel like they're different.

Why would they be different, it's stock vanilla ICS. Nothing OS wise should be different.
Yea nothing different.

Except, of course, my two lovely Verizon applications in /system But honestly, the wallpapers are exactly the same. My friend imported a Galaxy Nexus a while back and we were comparing them yesterday. Everything in the OS is essentially identical.

Alright. I just thought since the background for the Verizon GN and the unlocked GN don't have the same wallpaper that they would be different. If you Google the two, and look at them side by side you'll see what I mean.

i am enjoying it. This is my first expierence of android on something that is not a phone. I was caught between this tab and the iconia a100 and so far this thing is great comes stock 4.0.3 standard 1 gig of ddr3 ram 1 ghtz dual core pretty nice did not like the stock launcher apex looks nice on this tab once you increase the grid size to a 8x8. Runs smooth everything you would expect from a sammy device. I posted this to show my piece of early software i got ahold of. If your thinking of getting this gadget the abc warehouse is sellimg them early for some reason i think they oops'd though

The 22nd was a requested release date, never a hard and fast one. Best Buy has them and is displaying them as well. Word is that as soon as they come in they are being displayed by request of Best Buy corp. Good that you got one though. Very cool device from what I can see. The 7 inch was displayed but they didn't have the 10 inch one in yet and that is the one I want.
Bought the older version at Verizon for only $49

Galaxy Tab 2 P3113
Sagged mine on 4/9 and delivered on 4/12 from hhgregg for $240 including tax and shipping. Now see they won't have till the 22nd at he $249 plus tax regular price. Have the P6210 plus also, grabbed it onsale months ago for $299 total. P6210 is better but P3113 is very good. Know if we had root for root apps.
Bought mine on release day 4/22 at BestBuy.
Didn't actually know that was the release day. Was in need of a cheap tablet, was going to get Nook or Kindle Fire but for $50 more without the hassle of needing to mess with firmware for Google App support it was worth it.
Waiting for root. Any idea when XDA will make a forum for Galaxy Tab 2? (Prob same for 10.1 and 7.0 maybe?). Only reason I need root is to install the Cyanogenmod CM9 ported DeskClock and also have automatic time sync since I use this as a alarm clock and like precision.
One odd thing I noticed though. There's no "Stock" Clock app. (Called DeskClock on most devices). Alarm Clock+ and a few others mimic it and my Archos Home Connect 35 has it. What's funny is i tried to install the cyanogenmod CM9 custom build of it, and the package already exists on my Tab 2 7.0. But there's no application shortcut for it, and com.android.deskclock doesn't show up in the application listing.
Any idea's how I can access the clock or get the stock clock working? (I Know theres alternatives but it annoys me that there is so "Stock" Deskclock app.

Definitely maybe. How about you tell us what you do have and we'll compare notes.
well upgrading from my old vibrant running 2.2 this phone seems more like a downgrade in the lwp's
my old vibrant had a lot of neat stock lwps like nexus,galaxy spinning, neat circly clock thingy, etc. but the s3 doesnt..
Can get a bunch on zedge

Note 2 bad screen resolution

Has anyone notice how bad the pixel resolution is on the note 2 . When I download apps from the play store and I get the icon on my screen it looks so ugly not crispy at all . Kinda bugss me makes me feel like I got fake apps or something . Let me know what you all think ..

I think this has to do with the icon being lower resolution. This is the fault of two things. 1 is that the Galaxy Note 2 is high resolution. 2 is that many graphics within apps, including icons get enlarged by the 5.5" screen. With most tablets there is a different icon graphic that is higher resolution than the "Smartphone" icon graphic. You are seeing the "Smartphone" icon graphic on this 5.5" screen. This icon graphic was designed to be for smaller screens. Hopefully this will get better as developers design "Smartphone" icon graphics for larger screens.
This effect is like seeing lower resolution video and graphics on your very high resolution HD very larger screen TV or monitor. This is the downside of using larger, higher resolution screens. And this is only going to get worse on lower resolution videos and graphics with higher resolution larger screens.

One of the things you can do is use a different Home Launcher. The choose to have more columns and rows on your desktop and app drawer. This will smaller the size of the icons to the point that they become less pixelated. Some Launchers will allow you to resize the icons too. Either way resizing the icons to smaller size should solve the pixelated icons problem.
I personally like the adding more columns and rows because that utilizes the screen real-estate to with more icons.
Some favorite Home Launchers are:
Nova Launcher Prime
ADWLauncher EX
Apex Launcher Pro
Go Launcher EX
Nova Launcher (free version)
Apex Launcher (free version)

Ok to the reply that says I dont have a note please check where the post is being post from it says right below what im using..to others thanks for your opinions I guess it is the note thats too much of a high resolution for some apps . I know the s3 has higher pixels and a smaller screen so everything looks crispier thats what I meant. Hate to admit but just being picky on little details. Another question does anyone have issues with theyre micro usb charger mine falls of the phone on its own weird.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
I wouldn't say it's terrible, but the quality is noticeable if comparing.
The note2 has the same res as the S3, both 720x1280, so lower ppi (267) bc of the larger screen.
Coming from the GNexus (316) ppi, I def notice it. Same next to a nexus4 (320ppi) with 768 x1280. For comparison, the iphone5 and 4S are 326ppi. The droid dna is a ridic 441ppi (1920x1080).. But haven't seen it in person yet.

Yes it is noticeable glad you can see it. But by all means the note is hands down one of the best phones ive had coming from an iphone 4s and a galaxy s prior to that. Would anyone downgrade to the s3 ?? Just out of curiosity .

This screen is gorgeous.

Yeah I've noticed it too coming from a galaxy nexus. Text and icons could definitely be sharper but it's still a pretty awesome screen. I think if you had a rom that could change the dpi, it might improve things.

Interesting. I was debating between the Note II and the Nexus 4. What made you switch back or what made you decide for the note II vs nexus 4? I'll be curious to know if you're willing to share

I agree 100% but it doesn't bother me at all.. I do look at some app icon and feel they are not crisp but may its because my brightness is on low?!?!? Still In love though

There was a review, not sure who wrote it but it did state that some icons did look a little old on this display. I can understand. You have this beautiful HD background and some apps icons look out of place, like the were made with a dot matrix printer.

i wish the display on the GN2 was like on the iPhone 5 or even iPhone 4/4s, the icons on those phones are CRISP and perfect. I like the GN2 of course but i wish it had the ability to do 6x6 grid without messing around with DPI in builprop because then others apps get effected too...plus would like to do this WITHOUT a launcher.

I was looking at this http://www.androidauthority.com/att-galaxy-s4-sgh-i337-spotted-user-agent-profile-151132/
and why are they saying its the s4 with i337 when the note 2 is i317 it should be i748 or i847
Obviously a fake. Why would Samsung regress to the older design styling (which they've been found guilty of ripping from Apple), when all of their newer handsets are implementing the "designed from nature," pebble chassis? Don't give credence to something that's obviously a waste of time.

idk either way, it's going to be a great phone.
"As the days continue to go by, more and more is leaked or rumored about the Samsung S IV. Today it was ‘supposedly’ spotted in a document again. The below image shows a device named Samsung SGH-I747 for AT&T. The document shows a 1080×1920 full HD res display, and since much is not known about the display of the Samsung Galaxy S IV, this ‘COULD’ be the S IV, or it could be another phone or Samsung tablet."
Ummm what? We have the i747 lol
