Hi,
I recently got note and previously I had HTC desire. After switching I found 2 things so difficult to adopt.
1. Very less widgets here than in my desire. No Samsung widgets for music, FM radio widget, gmail n Facebook separate etc.
2. The App drawer window. It just get grouped randomly in my grid view. Can that be sorted out based on alphabets?
3. Can I able to use HTC widgets apks for getting my ease back.
Any sites about reasonable Samsung galaxy note widgets will be much useful.
Hoping to get a solution for this probs.

2. Try appzorter from the market. Its how I keep my apps sorted alphabetically. Seems strange that its not done automatically but eh.
3. You can't run HTC widget without running sense and I can't imagine that will ever get ported to the note.
As for 1 you'll just have to find alternatives from the market

Is sense disabled or does it still run in the background when using launchers such ad adw?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I believe it runs backgrounded you could always force close it id imagine

'sense' is a combination of many things however the biggest one is just the sense launcher. in htc's eyes sense is also their contact apps syncing apps ect... all this stuff will still be there along with sense.com services if you change the launcher.
the sense stuff on the phone really isnt that much more than normal because htc's programs replace alot of the stock gear
however stuff like amazom mp3 preloaded is annoying so they could probably be removed
Ok thanks. Just wanted to know if there was any slowdown in performance and deterioration in battery if two launchers were running simultaneously

hi i just bought 2 galaxy tabs and pretty happy with them.
just wondering does anyone have an app that shows the current draw? old app i used on HTC devices doesn't work on galaxy tab
thanks in advance
What do you need two tabs for? One for flashing a rom and one for stock? O_O
Anyway, try Elixir. It provides widgets with a crazy lot of information.

Did you activate home from facebook settings. Log on to facebook go to setting at very bottom activate it.
Works! Not sure I like it though...
Sent from my Desire HD using xda app-developers app
I found out that with Facebook home if you set your other (whichever your using) launcher (I use Nova) instead of fb home as you permanent launcher ans still leave fb home active then it takes the place of your lock screen. Looks really nice.
Well it works for me on Ice Cold 8.8 and worked for me as well on Open Kang. So I see no reason why it should do the same with all other roms though I haven't tried a Sense rom lock screen.

Facebook Home replaces the Sense lock screen. That seems to me not very comfortable.
It was just an idea for those who would like fb home but don't want it as their default launcher. Also you do know that the lock screen is not for security purpose unless you PIN it. Its purpose is to just lock phone from mistakenly activating any apps or butt dialing. So there really is no reason for anyone to feel uncomfortable about it.

I agree with you. But here, too, and the menu is not very convenient.

Just installed it for a longer look this morning. It really grows on you. I normally don't spend a lot of time w/ Facebook so this is a great way to see updates.

Very good. As for the ROM?
I've used the UNOFFICIAL CM10.1 JellyBean Nightlies / M-series and it is simply the best for my Inspire. The nightly builds for ALL of the JB ROMS seem to mess with GPS or Bluetooth, so I just gave up on them entirely. I'm a flashaholic and try everything, but this is the daily driver... No bugs

works on my dhd, just if this work on unrooted samsung galaxy tab 7". Im planning to install on my wife tablet.
Ok,so ive searched and searched trying to find out how to use emojis(iphone style)on a stock Jellybean 4.2.2 htc one(not rooted),and all it comes up with in search is ROMS.I have the standard emoji faces,but after the iphone style (buildings,animals,etc).I was using Chompsms,which had a plugin for emoji,but chompsms was using 30% of my battery life a day.Ive downloaded and tried installing a few off the Playstore,but they still dont show up.Can someone suggest something?Am i doing something wrong?This is my first Android phone,so please be gentle.Any advice would be appreciated

There's an emoji keyboard in the play store. It's a piece of crap though and it sucks to have to change keyboards back and forth.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Try Textra with the associated free emoji plug in. It has all the iphone emojis and works fine for me.
I had the chompsms app(also made by Delicous inc),but it was destroying my battery life for some reason.I also had the emoji plug in for chompsms,which would be the same as Textra.I was hoping there would be a setting.somewhere that would enable native Emoji,without rooting or require different roms and/or crappy,half done play store apps

I second TextraSMS. Aside from the native CM10.2 messaging app, it's the best one I found in the Play Store.

Okay speaking of the native CM messaging app, would it work to just grab the messenger.apk and install it as a system app in a stock based rom? Or is that crazy talk?

Hello all, I've been using my Galaxy Gear with my Galaxy Note II for a month. Everything is perfect, Except the Weather Clock on Gear is not refreshing. Does someone have the same problem and the solution. ??
I had to put the weather widget on my home screen and then it started working. If you don't have the weather widget on your home screen put it on there and see if that works.

It's always on my homescreen and still not refreshing
And your using the weather widget that came on your phone? Also go into the settings on the widget and make sure it is set to update. I have the i605 note 2 from Verizon and mine is syncing just fine.

No the widget is custom Note III widget, came with DN3 custom rom.
I had to put the weather widget that came with the phone on home screen before mine would work.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
I have exactly the same issue on my Note 2 running DN3.1.1. It used to work fine. I suspect it has something to do with the DN update to 3.1.
I have the same problem with my Note 2. I was told that if the Accuweather is modded in any way it will not update the Gear. I've tried several different things to get it to work but nothing helped. Went back to the leaked AT&T 4.3 firmware and it works fine. I really want to go back to Skynote4.3 N3 for the Note 3 features but the weather is bugging the crap out of me.
Mine doesn't update also unless I refresh the widget on my note 3. Im using the stock weather widge abd have it set up to auto refresh every 1 hr but still not working. Hope theres a fix to this.

My weather app didn't refresh on my GG paired with my Galaxy S4 then I remembered I had the "transparent weather widget" mode done. Replaced the modified accuweather.apk with the stock one and now everything is working.

Well I tried this one, neither it worked with Gear on my 4.3.1 DN3 Rom phone, nor the edges of the widget were proper. Yet I found a solution to refresh but it's burdensome. Cos you need to clear Data and Cache both widget app and the Gear's weather provider app on Settings-Apps. Anyway it works and you have to set the location from beginning after all.

Before swapping to my stock app I used to solve the problem just like you (cleaning cache/data in all aaccuweather apps) I'm almost sure if you find you stock model accuweather app you will get the app working just like me. BTW my model is SGH-M919N (MetroPCS)

No Ditto Rom is the best rom ever made, I can sacrifice my Gear Widget for it maybe our devs can do sth for it. @Arsaw @titooo7 @RevengeDevTeam @ravijani @funky81 @sotmax
I use Nova so of course can't use stock weather widget. I am not rooted. Any way to manually update weather on gear? Would it help to have weather widget on desktop of stock browser even if I'm actually in Nova and can't see it?
