Galaxy S2 Plus coming with extra features

Samsung is launching Galaxy S2 Plus with few hardware changes but many software features like
1. Jellybean 4.1.2
1. Smart Stay
2. Direct Call
3. Pop up Video
4. Smart Alert
5. S Voice
6. Voice Unlock
7. 64 GB SDCard Support
Once this is launched hope this would help devs in porting these features to our S2.
http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57...ls-galaxy-s2-plus-with-a-shot-of-android-4.1/

1. We already has 4.1.2 unofficially and we're getting 4.1.2 officially sometime this year.
2. You can mimic smart stay with Smartstay EX
3 & 4. You might be able to do this when we get our official 4.1.2 update as it's based on touchwiz UX
5. Apk is already modified for other phones and Google Now does it better.
6. This might be in touchwiz UX when we get it
7. We can already do this however we have no exfat support so you have to use fat32(no files over 4GB) or a linux file system like ext4.

I think this is an international version and won't help us at all. The 1.2 processor they talk about is the exynos.

Bull**** in this article.
That the S2 plus handles 64GB SD card alone (..."while the original maxed out at 32GB")...Hello!
I have a 64GB SD card and it works pretty darn well.
I hope pple want to do some homework before you make statements like that.
(I wonder how much they got paid to make a statement like that?)
LOL

to be fair to him the original WAS slated for only 2.3 GB. this turned out to be an android limit, not a hardware one, and with updates has come additional support.
before u knock others, please check facts as well good sir

They can keep it at there factory.. developments can acquire almost the same features released..with t989

[Q] Is there is a ROM or kernel (or ROM/kernel combo) with FULL USB Audio Support?

I'm a relatively new owner of a T-Mobile Note 2. Love the Jedi Master ROM. But I'm still facing my ridiculously frustrating scenario where I have this phone (and a tablet, the Nexus 10), that I want to use my USB DACs with (Fiio E07k and Hifimediy Sabre), but can't unless I use the awful USB Audio Recorder Pro App. I just want to plug in these DACs (via OTG) into either of these devices and enjoy music without having to use that aforementioned app.
Anyone know (for certain, i.e. through personal experience) of a current kernel and/or rom (or rom/kernel combo) that provides FULL USB Audio support for the T-Mobile Note 2? If not "for certain,," how about just from rumors?
Thanks!!

+1

I'd like this option also, but in the meantime, have you tried viper, with the correct IRS file for your headphones of choice.
It's a pretty good alternative to an outboard dac

How big is the USB drive your using? I use Perseus kernel to read/play music/movies off of my 64gb flashkey

The issue is not using a USB drive, it's USB Audio, i.e. T-Mobile Note 2 >> USB OTG >> Fiio E07k USB DAC >> Audiophile quality headphones, and not using the USB Audio Recorder Pro App to get that setup to work but rather using that setup and listening to music or whatever through any app. Android phones since 4.0 are capable of this, but I think something in the kernel has to be enabled.
Timur on Rootzwiki did just that for the original Nexus 7, but nobody has stepped up to the plate to do it for many other devices, such as T-Mobile Note 2 (unless I'm mistaken) and Nexus 10. For either of these devices, I'd pay for someone to customize a kernel to allow this.

I got that working as you mention in my previous N7100 but now in my new SGH-T889 it doesn't work in my current kernel. Running Tweaked with SaberKernel. I was running Perseus before. I'm gonna try that one and stock and report back.

None of the kernel worked. I think the only model getting usb audio is N7100. I'm have a look around to see what's out there. I'm as well interested.

After more testing, it turns out the problem was the cable. My SGH-T889 works awesomely with my Fiio E07K, in Tweaked ROM with Saber kernel. Not intermediary apps, ask the sound is redirected to the DAC no matter the so you are using. Hope this helps.
And when you don't have the Fiio, Voodoo sound plus DPS manager does the trick as well. I love this phone.

Yeah, I was just going to say my iBasso D12 works fine on my TMO note 2 lol

Ashade's suggestion of Tweaked + Sabrekernel did not work (I tried it today. Even tried tweaked by itself and with some other kernels). Thanks for the suggestion though.
But this works, it's that Pac-Man Rom that combines features from a bunch of different roms.

A few weeks ago I got my Nexus 10 to have full USB audio support using a modified CM 10.2 rom. I think the CM guys did something to fix the USB audio issue and I think that's why the rom I am linking here works (so I would suspect CM 10.2 alone would work too, but I don't know that for sure), but man oh man it's awesome to have full USB audio support from my T-Mobile Note 2!

That's weird... I'm still running that. What DAC are you using? It works perfectly with both my Fiio E07K and O2+ODAC combo.
---------- Post added at 09:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:04 PM ----------
So I didn't update Saber in a while and I noticed they drop voodoo sound by boeffla and some other changes. Maybe that's why it didn't work for you. I'm gonna recheck it with the current version and report back.

Tried it right now with the latest versions of everything and it works flawlessly. No problem whatsoever. It's pretty weird that we are getting different results...

Fiio E07k, but I saw a few of your posts on Head Fi where others said it didn't work for them. What's really funny is that while I ran tweaked + saber for a minutes, one time I put on Google Music and got audio out of my Fiio E07k. I was ecstatic and then tried it again, nothing. Very weird but the rom I linked works perfectly, and is CM 10.2 based, just like the ROM I put on my Nexus 10 Tablet, which also works perfectly now.

Good to know you got it work with something else at least.

Why no one makes a rom for car mount.

i saw a rom by tim for 2012 model
But why no one is going to make a rom for 2013 model.
More n more people r going to do android tablet car mounts.
I for one r looking to mount an lte model to my car.
But there is no rom like 2012 does.
Otg usb functions with auto deep sleep mode with car's ignition off.
Plz someone make one.

There are a lot of ROM / kernel variants that will give you USB Dac, OTG charging on a 2013. I personally have 2 Nexus 7 2012's with USB ROM and Timur Kernel as home stereo sources that I stream from Squeezeplayer.
I just did KitKat on my 2013 Nexus 7 but CM10.2 and Glitch kernel will do car mount stuff. AOSP with ElementalX will also work.
Heck once a 2012 Nexus 7 is in the car it doesn't look any different than a 2013 or lack any capabilities. If I put one in my next car I'll put a 2012 in there.

It's a 2013 LTE.
Unfortunately this is not a complete setup yet. But I was planning on doing it similarly to the setups I've seen on the 2012s.
OTG Y-cable to a 12V source, USB hub. Flash drive, and then a DSP to my amps.
Probabily will run CM 11 for the OTG support.
I've tested the battery life though as you asked. screen on, gps running, and bluetooth and with the max 1.1 amps in it at least held steady battery. it didn't drop, and didn't charge.

So.it's basically a kernel that will make the otg usb charge n function .
So what is the difference with Tim's rom if the kernel doesn't supports?

Good rule of thumb here, regarding his topic: if you have to ask, the answer is no. Believe me, as soon as any information is known, somebody will make a thread about it. But generally speaking, if all you see are threads about "when are we getting KK," the implication is that the answer is unknown. For the record, there is one thread regarding this in the Q&A section, and two threads in the General section, all on the front page.

What exactly does KK have that is so important? I really don't see why people are so worried about this update coming out. Will the experience of using the note 8.0 be dramatically different on 4.4? Someone please fill me in.

Me myself I'm not that anxious for it. But people like the OP would like to pair it with Gear devices.

It's not KK as much as it is some issues that I have running 4.1.2 on my AT&T variant. I still get the screen freeze bug which annoys me to no end. So yeah, I would like the upgrade so I don't have to deal with things that should've been working outside of the box.

Unless you want compatibility with Gear (which is not guaranteed) or think that 4.4.2 will fix some bug that's present in your current setup, the answer is that there is nothing substantially different. I am running official 4.4.2 on my Galaxy S4. Outside of the information bar icon color scheme and the fact that most apps can no longer access the SD card, nothing is better, faster, etc. It looks, feels, and performs exactly the same.

I guess I'm fortunate that I don't know what Gear is.
The only bug I'm having on 4.2.2 is the multi-window button disappearing sometimes even when the feature is turned on. Besides that, everything is working smoothly.

The new update is important for
1. Trim is included in 4.3 onwards..makes your tab faster
2. Air command for s pen ...unleashes the power of the s pen
3. Less ram consumption and faster on kit kat
4. Blue tooth LE. ..faster and lower battery consumption
5. New flatter icons and UI....consume less system space....faster device
6. Support for gear devices
The cons...
1. Knox bootloader
2. Sd card read and write issues
Both these cons can be solved by rooting and Dev help on xda

There has not been any indication that we would get this feature. Chances are, we will not. If the Note 2 gets it, then perhaps, but if not, we're not getting it for sure. As far as I know, the Note 2 does not currently have Air Command.

Sure, but the bluetooth device would have to support it as well AFIK. In addition, we don't know if the bluetooth radio in our tabs is actually even capable of low energy. Since the hardware in our device is relatively old, it may not be capable and therefore not support Galaxy Gear. Looking at the Galaxy Gear info page, the Note 2 is not listed as being supported. Rumors say that Gear support is coming to the Note 2.

2. Yes. Android 4.4.2 blocks 3rd party app access to the SD card. Easily fixed, but needs root like you said.
In summary, everything that everyone is hoping the get with the update will likely not happen, either due to hardware incompatibility or Samsung's unwillingness. Chances are, this update will be just like the update for the S4...updated status bar color scheme, a little better UI for multiwindow, and a version number bump.

I have a note 2 with leaked Samsung 4.4.2... running the ditto note 3 rom v4RC2
I have all note 3 apps (including air command) and s5 apps (including ultra power saving mode) on it.
Compatible with gear and has blue tooth LE working well even on official 4.3 on the note 2
Trust me. .. with what i have said. .
Also Trim is in the official 4.3 for note 2... you can check the app on titanium back up
If we get 4.3.. we can get all note 3 apps. .including air command... by mod
Once we get the update. . We can ask the e team to make the custom rom or mods for us. .. just needs 10 days

How about the ability to move applications and data onto the SD card? This is a biggie for me! I am running several mapping applications where the maps need to be stored locally, and they take up all my internal storage. It would be nice to use that empty 32gb SD card I purchased for this thing!

just asking a dumb question but, did you reboot? if that didnt work, you might have to flash stock and start all over, maybe you could try a factory reset from recovery. but remember both ways you could lose your apps and data on your sd cards so maybe if you can hook up to computer and copy stuff off tab before trying anything. good luck!

I will try to flash stock firmware tonight(in IRAN).. I think it is the only remaining!:fingers-crossed:
The seller offered me a replacement my T211(16 GB)gave me a new ASUS memo pad 7 HD+ a 32GB SD card..Do I change my device to ASUS or no if my device wouldn't fix? Is it good deal?

Yes, ASUS is more up to date with the updates than Samsung
(my opinion)

Whilst the MeMo Pad HD 7 is generally better than the Tab 3 7.0, better screen & good set of loud speakers for a start, it'll probably be stuck on 4.2.2 for it's remaining life, no wide support for custom ROMs either, 1 or 2 are kicking about based on stock ROMs and a early alpha CM10.1 build was underway, not sure of it's status now, it is very unlikely to get KitKat at this stage, no word at all from ASUS, last update was backend of 2013, 4.1 to 4.2, they've probably silently dropped support.
Still I like to be proved wrong :fingers-crossed:
Anyway it's a good device, easily rooted, I own one.

a lot of games use non compliant hacks to gain performance. They can corrupt your system in some cases. I would restore the OEM firmware with ODIN or from a backup and consider not using the game.

True! On paper more features of ASUS is better than tab 3.7 but. don't forget...Samsung has something that people usually don't see!! as better body quality(even chrome band around body) or stereo mic or dual WIFI band or net speed or ....against a cheap plastic body like toy!!
I like my device so much and it is hard for me to change it! Despite CPU and IPS display of memopad 7 HD is better clearly!

Hi DigitalMD
So it is better that I flash stock firmware via ODIN?
maybe..it is the latest way for me
