Anyone else surprised by this? I'm okay with no widgets, but not having the shortcuts on the lockscreen is very disappointing.

I this a touch wiz or verizon change ?
touchwiz hadn't had lock screen widget since the new s5 version came out. the tab series doesn't even have them either. I have a feeling they're dunzo especially since lolipop got rid of lockscreen widgets anyway.

Widgets are there, they moved them away from the tabbed format. They went backwards a hit. Do a long press on the screen and they will come up.

no he means on the lock screen.

Yeah last galaxy device I had was the S4. I didn't know lollipop got rid of them. I can do without the widgets, I just miss the shortcuts. I loved putting a a google voice search shortcut on the lock screen for when I'm driving.

You can accomplish this UI with the current apps on the playstore... Desktop Visualizer, Widget Locker, Multi Live Wallpaper and a little Gimp/Photoshop to make the wallpaper and some time... boom you have a very basic UI I think sharp isn't going to go anywhere with this.

I don't get why they put icons inside of squares. Its like putting an icon inside an icon which leaves you with a 3 column app tray. Think about all the scrolling you'd have to do.
The lock screen is cool and I'm sure the app store will have something similar soon enough.

its similar, use multi-live-wallpaper and set crop to "Fit to screen" (this is my version of it) if anyone wants it. I personally do not like this UI but I thought i would take a step toward what some ppl want. Ill make the icons 2mrw if you guys want em. https://www.dropbox.com/s/ffkbkwgxqvm681a/FEELUI.rar Enjoy!

this is more than just a home screen transition.
nothing out there (that i have seen at least) gives you vertical scrolling on the home screen as well as horizontal scrolling.
also, the lock screen is more than just a widgetlocker theme. the clock wont be on the bottom, and it wont scroll, the lock screen wallpaper wont scroll, you cant slide the lock icon up, and get the options, you dont get the nicer looking missed call/mail/sms pop ups.
this goes MUCH further than just some skin.
I just read an article about this from The Verge and i'm intrigued. The developers created Next interface and seem to be onto something. They feel the desktop is an unnecessary step to get to the app tray. Fair point, why have a bunch of apps then hit a button to get to your other apps? In the quest to be pc-like, Android has a desktop and widgets. Great, but I do see the point being made here. Oh, and notifications were redesigned.

A full port would be amazing. It would become my daily for sure, it's so creative and the design and fonts and everything is so beautiful. I love clean looks.
Would love a port...but its not gonna be out for a while...considering Feel UX phones arent even out yet in Japan.

I'm still waiting note 2 to arrive to Turkey. I'd like to ask has anyone tried GN2 with other launchers like nova or apex. If than, what do u lose?
I think it's hard to pull down notification bar one handedly and gestures included in nova and apex are helpful in this situation.
I think you lose PageBuddy, which is helpful when you pull out the Spen.

I think you got me wrong; I'm talking about pulling down the notification bar with your thumb of right hand when holding phone in your right hand.
In nova you have gestures, swiping down anywhere on the screen is enough.
I use Go Launcher and it runs extremely well. No problems found. Gesture support is included so pulling the notification bar down with a gesture is very useful on this big screen.
I tried Nova but 'Go' is better as it has a lot of extra 'bolt on' apps.

Hi...I am also using go launcher..everything is working fine except for 1 thing. With go launcher, when I remove the s pen it dosent pop up the s note page automatically. When I go back to touchwiz this feature works fine. Does this happen on your device too?

I just tried it and can confirm the pop up S-Note does appear without any issue on Go Launcher, when the pen is removed.
I take it you've enabled this feature in the S-Pen settings?

My apologies...what i really meant was the page buddy feature was not available when extracting the s-pen with go launcher..the pop up s note works fine when selected in the s pen settings on either launcher.
Thanks.
I was asking the question (on another forum) about "what we loose" if we use another launcher.
So you can confirm everything works ? (except Samsung widgets I imagine)
What about default gestures like Covering the screen, sweeping for a screenshot, shaking for updates, moving the hand over the GN II to wake up
Anyone else having the "shadow bug" on Apex? How can it be fixed please?

Do you know what bothers me on Go launcher Ex? Indeed, it IS the best launcher I´ve seen so far as well, but what still makes me using another launcher (Nova) is the App Drawer. It doesn´t matter which theme I´ve tested...the drawer always looks cheap or is lagging on Go launcher Ex.

The gestures all work including those you mentioned and split screen, so do all features with the S-Pen. Anything that's a Touch Wiz feature such as Samsung Widgets, Page Buddy don't. There's little that don't and you get more pros than cons using another launcher.

Salut!
Yes I had the problem using APEX either on stock or omega 3 ROM. Was very obvious with transparent widget i.e. APW and very annoying.
There is a fix for the S3 saw that from another thread were a member stated that fix should work for our NOTE 2.
So I gave it a try...
The fix is here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1894633
Somehow using CWM and that s3 fix ZIP did not work for me. So I used root explorer extracted the libhwui.so renamed the original one in /system/lib and copied the extracted one
And voila indeed fixed after rebooting
There might be some side effect i.e.: in EMAIL when scrolling there can be flickering flashing on some mail with HTML/images but it seems only if DEVELOPER option force GPU rendering is checked...I'm not 100% sure on that one but noticed it on some mail
So I confirm the statement of the XDA member the S3 FIX is functional on the NOTE 2 but possibly with some side effects....
Cheers
Jean-Marc
Hmm I'd better stay away from side effects and wait to see how it goes with a later fix maybe
Using Nova Prime. Good.

Hi,
First of all sorry for being a noob. And my problem is, is there any way for me to put a note/todo widget on the lockscreen of my note 2 running jelly bean 4.1.2, unrooted. Please let me know if there is a way to get there..
Thanks
Lock screen widgets are introduced in Android 4.2, so we don't have them yet. Wait till samsung releases 4.2 version update to our Note 2
Try go locker it has option for lock screen widget. Don't know exactly for note widget

Thanks for the quick response; by the way, i had tried go locker but it seems to be complicating the lockscreen as a whole.. The widgets are placed as a seperate page which makes us swipe from the lock screen to view the widgets. That itself ruins the sense of lockscreen widget i think. We could use that very simple swype on the stock lockscreen to get the whole homescreen with all the widgets. So this sort of idea made me uninstall go locker. I just want to be reminded of my next hr todo s whenever i try to use my phone. So here i think a wait till 4.2 is the only way out rite?...

I'm wondering if anyone used the WidgetLocker lock screen replacement?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker
I loved it on my SGSIII, but now that the SGSIV has a version of it, I'm wondering what people think. The downfall of the stock lockscreen is that you can't add widgets right on the main lock screen. The one downfall of WidgetLocker is that the shortcuts you add open right away, as opposed to having to drag the shortcut on the stock lockscreen, I find that I accidentally unlock the phone while it's in my pocket.
Just wanted to get your take.
Thanks,
Ever since I upgraded to the S4, I haven't even bothered installing Widget Locker. The S4's lockscreen is awesome.

I agree, I wish I could drop a widget directly on the lock screen without having to do any swiping.
I stopped using widgetlocker on my s3 since waking up the device with the home button also unlocked it. Used to love it on my S2

Only thing the stock lockscreen is really missing is the ability to slide to unlock before going to the pattern. I don't like the fact that they removed the ability to have both, and i really miss not having music controls off my lockscreen as a result of the pattern lock being up as soon as i unlock.
Hi,
Thinkin about to buy the tab pro 10.1 version as it is on a pretty low price today in the Netherlands. (360 euro)
I read a lot of reviews and it seems good to replace samsungs touchwiz by another launcher (e.g. Nova).
I only wonder, does removing touchwiz as a launcher, also remove the unique multi-window / multi-task functionality on the galaxy tab pro? Or is that still working with another launcher?
Thanks for your replies.
I've used Go, Nova, and Next none of them effected multi-window at all. So, no worries on that point, on to your mext new purchase enjoy!
