[Q] Galaxy SIII to Galaxy Note

Hi,
Samsung announced a while ago that it'll push ICS 4 +"Premium Suite" to the beloved GNote. However, after watching the Galaxy SIII announcement yesterday, I started wondering if the GNote will ever get some of the features the SIII got (i.e Popup video, Allshare cast, etc.)
Do you think some of the smart guys in the forum will be able to port them?

That would be sweet. Now that the S3 as been released, maybe samsung will integrate some of the S3 features on the ICS premium suite for our beloved GNote. But i would be happy enough with ICS all alone, i tired of all this waiting!!!
I wonder if now, after the yesterday's unboxing, the Gnote ICS update is just around the corner...
If samsung want they can easily do that considering the hardware power of note but i think they will not do that due to their marketing strategy. they want to sell more and more no of s 3.
I dont think they will push any of the SGS3 features onto the Note official with ICS rollout. Samsung would not want ruin the exclusivity of features that SGS3 has. Just like Crapple didn't release Siri for anything but the 4S, Even today they can not port it successfully n reliably on the iphone4/ipad2.
All the porting will have to be done at XDA
I have a feeling that Samsung just forgot they had a son named Note...
Damn hope I am totally wrong!

[Q] My Story app from the Galaxy Note ICS rom

Hi,
The Galaxy Note Premium suite has an app named "My Story".
It's a nice application for messaging between phones. But it only works on the Galaxy Note.
AsI have a Galaxy Note and don't know anyone around with a Galaxy Note, I thought maybe if we could make this app work on other Galaxy devices, it would be nice. For example, my wife has a Galaxy S. If the app can work on Galaxy S, I could use the app.
Any idea on how to make this app work on Galaxy S ?
Thanks.
any idea ?
Try an look in the "themes & apps" section and ask the dev's if they will help or guide u on how to port it.
Look for dev's who ported other apps to sgs from eg. Gnex or other phones

Actually, I'm not looking for something new. If there's no demand for it (other than me) , then no developer would work on that.
What I thought was, there would be more demand for this and somebody would have already done it...
Apparently, I was wrong
Well, if someone is interested, let's discuss and demand...

[Q] Galaxy S III Stock ROM on Note (N7000)

Hi All, I am sure most of you must have thought around this one.
Galaxy Note and Galaxy S III config is almost similar (yeah I am not forgetting Quad Core magic) but still.
Can someone please help to post Stock ROM from S III onto the Galaxy Note...
It would be too awesome considering the extra $$$ you have to shell out for S III
Thank you Team...
Why would you want to do this??

[Q] S3 Mini vs. S3

Hi there!
I'm looking for a new phone to buy around februari 2013. I'm torn between the S3 and the S3 Mini. I listed up my Pro's and Con's beneath. Will there be as much xda software development for the S3 Mini as for the S3? I mean roms cyanogenmod, MIUI,.. All that cool stuff? I'm a huge android fan and love to root my android phones and customize them with custom roms
GALAXY S III MINI
Pro: Super comfortable size
Con: No LED-notification light, battery life, memory, no auto-brightness + how about android development?
GALAXY S III
Pro: everything is awesome + huge android development
Con: size
PS: I bought a Galaxy Note 7 months ago and it was way to big for me to handle, even when I used it for months.. It wasn't all that comfortable, so that's why i'm seriously considering a MINI over an S3... But I love the S3 in all other ways more (more features etc.).
Can you help me with my questions?
thanks!

about s3 mini hope with new update software 4.1.2 the notification led solve. if about software .
S III Mini
Honestly, the S III Mini is still a bit overpriced (at least in my country), tho I got it a few days ago and I really like it. Was a HTC Desire user, and was looking for a same size phone. This one has all the Desire lacked in terms of hardware, but the development is not that shiny because of the chipset. If you can find, S II would probably be a good choice.
I've been using the S3 Mini for about a month, and I'm quite satisfied with it! The thing is, the 4.1.2 Update was extremely disappointing, and there are very few devs out there supporting it! I've been thinking of taking up ROM porting, just because of that :silly: Anyway, I don't expect much from my effort...
Besides that, you have summarized pretty much everything considering these two devices. I would highly recommend that you buy the normal S3 if you want to install custom ROMs, and generally mess around with it.
i think s 3 mini will be great 4-6 month later , since we have not much hh owner+developer , and its diff version on each region..
i just hope there will be offcial CM.10.1 for this phone.. hope not too long
well ofc ill go s 3 if i want to choose which one the best... but i just cant afford the price lol
For me, I went out on a mission to buy a new phone, as my wildfire buzz' battery died and repair wanted £15 for a new batt'. Considering the buzz wouldn't even sell for that amount, new phone it is.
So I was going to get the S3 knowing about cm (but hating the size), and i saw the S3 mini. Looked up the hardware specs and bought it straight away.
Shame about the lack of updates and cm though
I wish I knew more about porting too.

I have an s3 mini and my father has an s3, imagine the old man trying to use it, he is about to sell it and buy an iphone. Anyway, the no led thing was the thing that bugged me the most, i solved it with bln mod from the xda forum, that makes the lights of the buttons to blink on new messages, but of course i had to pay.
On my overall experience (software, hardware, apps, size, etc) i will always choose the s3 over the s3 mini, the size is not that much of a problem considering that it almost doubles the mini in specs, mods and developing
I hope it helps you, my advice, don't buy an s3 mini

Use NoLED. It's free, and since our screens are AMOLED, it won't use a lot of battery.

[REQUEST] Multiwondows & RippleLockScreenEfect for Galaxy 10'1

Someone could create support for these two options in the Galaxy Tab P5110
Enviado desde mi GT-I9100 usando Tapatalk 2
It will be great to see Multi-windows option on our Galaxy Tab 2.
Maybe Samsung will make it for us. Unfortunately, I think, Samsung can't do this, because Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 is no longer top model of Galaxy Tabs. Now Samsung Galaxy Note II is newsest, and it is Samsung's eye in head
Waiting for modders, who's can make it for us ...
Samsung is a shame that as soon leave this tab, but I guess if you can create multi-window support. In the S2 have introduced multi-window support, ripple effect and ink. What is required is that some developer support us will try to get help to bring these improvements to our tablet
Enviado desde mi GT-I9100 usando Tapatalk 2
It will not to be easy.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 is commercial tablet. There's no much difference between Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 ...
One thing making Samsung politics is buissnes. That's all. Samsung want a lot of money and they are not interesting in older devices which makes less of money now. Sad but true.
I thinks it is possible because note 1 n7000 don't have multi windows et ripple effect et alliance team make this
I am small dev I make rom for note 1 and note 2 but not release in xda for my reason...
If you want we work in integrated this goodies?
Because section tab 2 is dead pffff
Pm me if you want and sorry for my English very bad looool
Yes it could be done, if someone will port the mods from the threads below to work with some of our ROMs once we get JB 4.1.2 from Samsung.

What a ridiculous comment. Samsung does a good job of software updates for older devices. Better than most. Remember they make no money from updating your old device and the reason to be in business is to make a profit, not to cater to every whim of power users. Most people that own these tablets wouldn't even know what a software update is and could care less. They just want it to work and be reliable. So think the fact that Samsung churns out dozens of updated for a multitude of devices in variety of languages is pretty cool.
I once purchased a HTC Flyer, cool device , great hardware, pretty damn expensive. It never received one single software update and HTC dropped support for it after 4 months.
Samsung just put out a JB 4.1.1 update for your tablet this month. You expectations are unrealistic. Do you expect Samsung to assign a personal developer to you to support your every whine on a daily basis?
Want This sooo bad

It would be great to have it, but as I can see there is not one single custom ROM based on stock JB for the P5110
I wanted to try doing it myself, but I wasn't even able to make cygwin work on my PC...

is it possible to hv multiscreen?
just want it so badly....
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
of course it is possible on the part of devs, to a certain extent.
you need special kernels besides hardware support. Note 1 got a few leaks from samsung and got many other features of Note 2 going like airview, multi-windows, ink effect
xperiacle and nanomet have ported features from the tab to make certain features to work on Note 1 like floating multiwindows that can be minimised, multitasking
my knowledge is surface knowledge. without sammy support in the form of leaks it wouldnt have been possible for Note. otherwise Cyanogen would also give these features even though they are releasing 421 now.

You guys don;t read things we post here ... ... anyway once again, YES its possible using the Samsung JB ROM for our device.
Galaxy S II is already getting ports of multiwindow to their JB Stock Rom.

yep you are right, that post was supposed to go in the Samsung tab 7 Plus thread.
But anyway, yes its possible using the same methods the SII uses.
yes, but there are a lot of developers in the S2 threads, I just hope there is at least a developer having the samsung galaxy tab 2 that will know how to do it and then share it with the rest of us
