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.

Ir blaster

I believe the air view is dependant on the ir blaster.
sent via note 2 in boss mode @ quad core 2 ghz
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.

I thought butter came with 4.1 and above
The settings on the S4 is plain ugly, it's scattered all over the place, I really hope the note doesn't get that

Yes, I'm interested in these features in the S.G. S4, and I wish to be able to use them on my note2.
Even if one of our gorgeous developers can extract these features as an application.

Probably not since the note II camera relies upon samsung infrastructure.

Correct, the Touchwiz apps need The touchwiz framework in the build.prop and from everything ive read before the hassle to port and code that stuff wouldnt even be remotely worth it.
yup..same thing with sense camera..it needs its framework...
Hey,
Do you know an app doing the same think as AirView?
AirView is a feature of the S3 allowing you to start applications just by doing some special gesture on the air.
It ll be cool to have the same feature on our N4 no?

Hello friend. Its a new feature of S4:laugh:
I don't think its possible to port it to n4.
maybe not on the S3 but that featur was on the GN2.
Why it isnt possible? N4 got a frontal cam too

But on the GN2 it only works with the S-pen, on the S4 you can do it with your fingers.
Its not related to front cam

Related to the screen itself, it somehow monitors movements/proximity.
can't be ported to the n4... depends on the touch sensors in the phone... here's how sony did it

I think it is screen digitizer that matters.
Nope. It's the new IR sensor on the s4 that's doing it.

Hey everyone
anyone any thoughts on this? I have a note 2 and I love it. I am well used to the size and to be honest I don't think I can go to the S4's 5" screen.
Am I or will I be missing out on anything that the S4 has or will the note 2 get all the features in an update.
IR Blaster is the only major thing you're missing out on IMO.
And lte possibly.
Sent from my GT-N7100
the IR blaster as aforementioned and the extra sensors if you care for such
The ir blaster would be a handy little thing to have but I don't feel it would outweigh the extra half inch of real estate.
Any note 2 owners switching to the s4?
I can't even imagine switching from note 2 to S4. In fact I'll be missing out on even more useful options. I really hate how the new layout of the S4's settings menu, it looks outdated and I hope they change that before 4.2.2 is released on the note 2.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Note 2 is way too good , no chance of replacing it with S4 .......Will wait for Note 3 & then decide on replacement.....As of now NOTE 2 ROCKS !!
If the Note 3 is more like the s4 than the Note 2, then I won't bother to upgrade.

I read, that with the update with the new S4 features that came come to the note, the menu on the GN2 is will become like the S4. I hope that is not the case as most reviews of the S4, have nothing positive to say about the menu..

When you hear about 6 inch Full HD (1080p) RGB screen, 4000mAh battery, 32GB internal storage and the slot for the external cards up to 128GB you will upgrade immediately.

Not switching. Note2 does excellent job for me. Might think about change after 4.2.2 is released. ..

1. Best battery ever on a Samsung smart phone - This is very important to me when I am out and have no access to charging , secondly I like to check my social networking media and love to have lot of widgets and live wallpaper - Try this on a S4 and you will know how bad the battery life is on S4.
2. How can you ever Trade a S-pens capabilities for a S4 ????
3. Instal a customer Kernel and overclock your Note2 to beat S4 performance.
- IR beamer !!! really - are you going to use it ????
- I am still not utilizing 100% of the sensor and motion control on Note 2 , S4 - Iam not sure if will use them all even though they are quite innovative.
And has anyone any idea when it will get some of the features?
The next probable update would be 4.2.2. Date unknown.
Note2 is best.. no need to replace that with s4.. wait for note3 and change it with note3..

CM 10.1 Nightly is probably as close as we will get.
it would be nice to have a note2 GE, but I think we never will see google delivering a GE rom for an old device.
note2 sports pen functions, not a good idea to loose s-pen with a rom not supporting it.
Even if I love google experience, and I personally own a gnex as second phone, I love my note2 as it is, since it's not laggy and works like a virgin nexus.
CM10 is wot u can get to make note2 close to GE

Half of the s-pen functions work on aosp roms.. And apps like gmd spen can even expand that more.

So it looks nice and all leather was a nice touch but other than that the features are not really breathtaking. Would it at least have an AR blaster? What about air view that's sick was expecting that on note 3 if it doesn't have it then damn might have to go for the s4 .

i'd like to sell my s4 for another note. i got the sprint note 2 but use my verizon phone more an love the note more than the s4. kinda stuck between deciding on the n3 or get a cheap n2. just waiting to see if the bootloaders are locked or not. i doubt i'll ever update my sprint phone since sprint's pretty useless in the 3 cities i'm usually in.

I have installed cm on my note 2. Didnt take long before I realized my spen was useless and I had to figure out a new way to take a screenshot. Even on all my sense devices I really enjoy all the stuff worked in to the overlays. I might as well get a nexus if I want aosp

Useless? You're not trying hard enough. Get Note Buddy, CM S Pen Add-on, and Papyrus all off Play for free. Screenshot hardware shortcuts vary depending on the ROM, Vol-Down+Power is a common one otherwise screenshot can be added to the power menu.
Gimmicks are things like eye tracking, hand waving for scrolling etc.There are tons that only add ROM bloat that have little real value. There's a whole dictionaries worth of these included in the 4.2.2 included with s4, and likely all that crap and more included in 4.3. Sadly most all the UI improvements to Android in 4.2 and 4.3 are whitewashed over in TouchWiz.

The note has inferred so you can use your phone as an universal remote control to turn your TV on and off.

I was hoping for a metal frame and body, but wasn't expecting leather. I'm not sure about that part. As for software improvements I feel the Note 2 can handle what the Note 3 has, but we will see.

The n3 is not revolutionary it's a little upgrade. I have a note 2 and will get the note 3 because I am addicted to technology but the reality it's I am not going to be able to do much more on the new note than the old note.

Actually there are changes - I suggest you check out the off-topic New device/upgrade thread for 2 reasons:
1) This one will be eventually locked as the other is the official.
2) I just left a little nugget there....
