+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

For some reason the multi view is not working any more.
I got the little tab. . But when I click program like google mail and Chrome the open in full screen. It worked for a few hours but then it stopped. ..

Patching it using ExynosAbuse breaks the camera now, though.

Back Button does not activate multi-window
I am on stock ROM no rooting done at all.
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.
Please advise and thank you.

I would make sure under settings that its enabled and if it is then try a reboot and renable the feature as I have two notes one which is stock and works just fine

Curious

What do you think will be the next update for the GNII to improve it to be more like a tablet? Any ideas?
Swyped by Me & My GNII
I was wondering the same thing, but to be totally honest with you, it's already like too perfect. I really don't know anything else that can be done to it to make it any better except maybe, being able to use the voice feature on it without being connected to the Internet? Just my 2 cents.

Being able to designate which apps are by default started in full-phone or full-tablet UI mode would be great.

I really doubt they will enable tablet mode, they have tablets for that. That and for most people the screen is still to small from the tablet UI. heck even the Nexus 7 runs the same UI as the Note 2 does

I don't know, I think the whole phablet thing had many hesitant about this phone. I sincerely hope you're right though. I love CM10, PA, and other similar ROMS but they take so much time to get fully functional. I just hope there is Dev out there who will jump in and take it on for our Sprint variant.
the note II is anything but perfect. I have a lot of "gripes" with it.
first 320dpi. seriously? is that a joke I could not root it fast enough to get it going at 240dpi. Ahhh so much better
burst mode is borked. the huge delay built into the implimentation on the Note II renders is useless. as a temp fix use best shot its instant but only 8 shots.
on my S3 I can assign my favorite upload method (imgur for pictures youtube for video) as defaults. just tap the imgur or youtube icon and its going
this is GONE in the NOTE II I have to tap share and scroll to my selections EVERY TIME. very annoying once you got used to the S3 way.
toggles are gone. so I can't turn off mobile data etc.. on the Note II easily from the pull down like I can on the S3.

Lockscreen Notifications

Hey I found his nice app for displaying missed called, email and text message notifications on the lock screen somewhat like the iphone. It's setup as a live wall paper to show notifications in the background, that way you don't need to change our your original lockscreen.

That's a screenshot of WidgetLocker, not the stock lockscreen.

point and click for the spen

Can any body make this possible by using the spen button for clickING like the mouse
Oh yeah n animated hover icon
This already is in are phones it works that way for me. I just check alls you have to do is click the button on the Spen when over what you app you want to open. Yeah it works I just checked again

If the white button on the spen gets jammed in, then it will act like a finger on the touchscreen when you hover
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
I haven't had the issue. I just touch the link with Spen and it registers as mouse click. My tip isn't sticking.
Some sites are a bit finicky about where you click when using a mobile browser in desltop, IE, Firefox, etc mode (non mobile or android). And if the link is in some flash player media, that can be hit or miss.
I would suggest trying another site like MSN or something to test the Spen. This should tell you if it's the Spen or just that site.

Thanks so much for this! I'm going to give this a shot. Not sure if it's really that useful/suits me, but it's always nice to have options.
I have been having some fun with this. Enabled the software keys, disabled the hardware keys, disable the back and menu button lights. Now it just looks like I have a sweet notification light area because you cant see those two buttons when they aren't lit up. I adjusted the pixel density all around to make is so I don't lose any app screen space.
The only issues I have are the icons on the launcher getting cut off on the bottom rows and the camera button is a little messed up, still usable, but there is a dedicated hardware button, so it doesn't really matter.
Now I just need to change the multitask button to a menu button and it will be pretty sweet!
there has to be an app that does this as well.

[Q] What have you noticed that has changed in T-Mobiles KitKat?

Things that I'm curious about right off are:
1. What color is the dialer? Is it still white or have they changed that to dark?
2. In the "Internet" app (not chrome) can you "Open page in background"?
and bonus
Have you experienced any problems with files (moving, naming, editing, accessing, coping info back and forth from interral to external, ect...) on the MicroSD card through a downloaded file explorer app (ie ES File Explorer)?
Hangouts now uses the emoji from the Samsung keyboard instead of Google emoji. Kind of annoying.

Same thing, internet seems to be the same, no difference.
Most of the notifications are white, kinda liked the green battery.
Camera shortcut in lock screen
The font in notifications is different
Can't find much else
I was hoping to see a fix for the messaging app. When backing out of a text message it can take up to 5 seconds to go back into your message list. It's really annoying.
Checked- still does the same thing. I can't believe a 3rd party app can do this better. Unbelievable.

I noticed the reception is better now:laugh: No seriously what with the full bars!! I always have full bars even when I know im in an area where is barely reception. and Yes the dbm meter is displays the correct reading but the bars are way off. I tried with the international Kitkat rom and I got the same result. Looks like its a kitkat thing across the board. Kinda reminds me of AT&T and Apple saga over the inaccurate iphone reception meter.
