Hi guys,
for know am running stock rom on mine so am forced to use tw but am intersted once ics is out to take full advantage of its UI but without tweaking with the rom and without adding a different launcher and without loosing any functionalities of my phone​the question: is it possible?
thx in advance.

you would have to flash a custom rom thats its either cm9 or aosp version

So it is impossible to have ics stock Rom on my phone...:-(

It is impossible for all of us to have stock ICS on our Notes, since it hasn't been released yet.
But don't lose hope, the initial release is expected within a month or so.

But yout do lose s-pen with cm9!

I don't have a note, but we can do this on any other touchwiz device I've ever tried. Go to settings -> applications -> all -> twlauncher -> clear defaults. Then when you press the home button, it should give you a choice of launchers, one of which is the reg Google launcher. I'm currently using that I'm my leak build of ics for the epic touch. So I assure you, when they release it for the note, it will be possible.

I think youre pressing the clear data button rather than the clear defaults button.

or its quite possible that it just isnt available on the note like it is on other devices

my "clear defaults" button is greyed out...

I can confirm you only get tw launcher with the note. But you should be able to download the gingerbread launcher apk and install it on the note. Then jut uninstall the tw launcher.

in this case which one will be faster?

From my experiences, I've only ever been able to do that on AOKP ROMs so I guess you'll have to wait until an AOKP ROM comes along which had that option.
I've not seen it done without AOKP but that doesn't mean there isn't an alternative way.

yea youll need custom ROM i think, or at least root.
PS not necessarily AOKP though, some custom stock roms such as viper have this option IIRC

Might be an idea to ask the ROM Dev as a starting point then?:silly:

[Q] power saver off

How to disable the power saver off in notification bar? Permanently preferred. That one is really annoying.
Thank you

If you long press it after dragging down notification bar, then click on 'App Info'.
Then click force stop it and it should disappear from notification menu. But I think when you reboot phone it will appear again unfortunately

Yes, I used this method, but the problem is it will appear once again when the battery is low no matter whether you reboot or not.

If you're rooted, you can use the JMZ Power Saver remover app from the Play store.
If you're unrooted, the Force Closed method is your only option at this time.

I read this was fixed with the latest 4.2.2 ROMs...
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

Just wait for the 4.2.2 update or flash a 4.2.2 rom.

I already root my device, and used a custom ROM. I will wait for 4.2.2. Thanks folks.

yea 4.2.2 solves this issue but since it just came out none of the custom roms have any of their mods and changes incorporated so like most people i'm probably going to wait until i can flash all my stuff over.

Menu button/ lack of

Question about the lack of menu button.
So before buying the phone I I check into it and found out it used the 3dots and not a menu button like other androids.
Also found the back button long press as menu hack.
I have that install but I am still having problems and got questions.
First what do you do when the app your on doesn't have the 3dots?
Xda app doesn't have it to make a new thread. Also found a few of my older apps don't have it either.
Next the problem.
80% of the time when I press and hold the back button it just goes back. Or it will go back and then open the 3dot menu.
Is there any way to fix this or map the menu to long press home?

You can use Elemental X kernal and have the HTC logo as a menu button that's what I use and it works a treat. Are you on a custom OS as if you are you may have flashed something with the 3dot away mod explaining why you never see it?

Stock rooted tmobile Rom.
Xposed mod for back button.
And I don't truly like custom kernels. Had problems in the pass and had to update them weekly

That kernal is stable and doesn't require updating every week so it's a good option for you

+1 for elemental X. It's great. What about if you download pie control from the play store and set a menu control that way? I used to use the back button method but find it doesn't work half of the time. HTC logo2menu from custom kernels work 100%
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium

If you prefer to avoid custom kernel, then use a Rom based on 4.2.2 as these allow long press home to be enabled for menu
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

Thanx for the information.
I'll try the pie control for now. And look into the 4.2 Roma and kernel.

I'm so dumb. If you use the hack it hides the menu. Never knew that since I rooted and install the Xposed hack hrs after having the phone.

if it is for stock ROM i will ask why you would need to do that?

I have the same question, is a bit tricky to press home and power button to take a Screenshot everytime, and im om Stockrom becuase i like it =P
i have a rooted SIII Mini, there is a way to add the Screenshot menu ?

Yes it is possible but no one's gonna bother with that cause most of us are using Vanilla version of Android.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/sitesearch.php?q=how to add screenshot to power menu 4.1.2
just used the search and this is what i found
i can help you to do it, but i won't be adding this feature to any of my work

It is hard to make flashable zip or addon to our device specially all stock rom base?,i think it is a good feature.

it's not hard, just takes a bit of time to learn and lots of research to understand how
