LG just officially announced version 3.0 of its custom interface, which it is now calling 'Optimus UI'. The updated skin aims to be "unobtrusive and simple" according the LG, as well as bring a handful of new features to LG's handsets:
The ability to unlock the phone by dragging anywhere on the screen
A new Pattern Lock that allows users to preset the most frequently used function, such as the camera, which automatically opens once the phone is unlocked
A simpler version of Optimus UI 3.0 for new smartphone users which organizes the main applications so that they are the easiest to access
A new Voice Shutter that allows users to capture photos using only voice commands
A special camera feature that enables users to pick up the best shot among multiple images including the moment just before the shutter button is depressed
An Icon Customizer that provides an additional level of personalization by allowing users to set their own photos as icons and shortcut images
The addition of a Download category to the menu for easier organization
According to LG Mobile CEO Jong-seok Park, the updated UI is a push to set LG apart from other manufacturers, as "both carriers and customers tell [us] that they want LG phones to look and feel unique and the UI plays a big part in that" (even though it still look remarkably like Samsung's TouchWiz UI).
The first smartphones to see this updated version of Optimus UI are the Optimus LTE II, which comes out this week in Korea, followed but the Optimus 4X HD, which should be available in June.

you mean "LG dev" ? As in I suspect there's only one idiot working at their dev section, seeing how slow and messed up work LG is providing.

Phone makers spend way too much time making silly UIs. They should spend their time making great looking phones (hire a decent designer) with great hardware. Have their devs make a simple and functional version of the stock android, and then let independant devs do the rest. Most people don't buy the phone because of the UI overlay, and they are all fairly similar anyway.

It's so nice to feel the LG cares about software too Even though I agree with what has been said above, that the indie devs do a great job and manufacturers could just choose to let the software up to the indies, as a buyer I must say it does bring me some joy the thought of oficial goodies coming my way.
Even though I might not use it... but at least it will be something that the indies might re(use) in their fantastic works.

As far as I know, no Tegra 2 phone has an official ICS ROM, even an early leaked build. So I think nvidia has as much to blame as the manufacturers.
Yet I have an incredibly fast version on ics on my tegra2 tablet. That alone tells me its not the hardware issues that manufacturers are touting as the reason ics is questionable on the Tegra systems. I think once an Indie dev shows its possible your just making yourself look foolish, or simply incapable, by standing your ground.

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?

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.

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

I am searching for this feature (was called swipeselection on jailbroken iphones) for Android devices on Googles Latin IME Keyboard.
Eventually I stumbled upon this Feature, which is only working on these Samsung Devices: Galaxy S4, Note2 & Note3.
So I wondered if it got ported to any other Android Device yet, or if i can get this on my rooted HTC One.
video for the Application on Samsung Devices:
/watch?v=JDqE9IsCj2s [Sorry, but i don't have permission to link to youtube..]
Summary: How can i get the swipe-feature from the Video on other Devices than Samsung, and if possible with the Latin IME from 4.4 KitKat?

Would it be illegal to copy this for non commercial purposes ? Like i.e. in a custom ROM or in an edited Keyboard.apk ?
If it is free of charge and you don't make any money out of "their" idea it might be okay ?
Would it be hard to implement this in the AOSP Keyboard ?
Hello,
As you may already know, we can not make the app to work with most SAMSUNG devices due to samsung modifications in the native android lockscreen keyguard.
Only working properly on samsung google edition or with custom ROM like CyanogenMod. Sorry about that, we even purchased a Galaxy S5 to find a workaround for this, but this was not possible at the end.
We could create a Samsung exclusive version of Smart Unlock but this would be only possible if the samsung device is using PIN (and the PIN should be configured inside our app). We do not like this because you can not use lock pattern for example. We will consider for the future.
UPDATE: We are seriously thinking about this samsung compatibility only when using PIN. Many users requested this. Using PIN would also bring other possibiltys like better NFC support. I will keep this thread informed. I would expect a working beta release for samsung around the end of March.
It seems odd that this is the case as other applications such as SkipLock work fine on my Galaxy S5.

P9 plus will be expensive..
For me apealing features :
64gb+4gb+DualSim+IrBlaster+5.5InchScreen+FingerprintReader+DualSpeakers
(Other main features are add on for me ?? )
Like force touch+3400mAh+price+......
ALL THESE TOGATHER....finally!!!
Is there any phone with same or more features combined
Yes there was a phone with almost same features. ...HTC ONE ME but screen little small and Zero development.... so sad
Hope P9 Plus will get good support from Devs here in XDA
I am interested in the P9 Plus or the HTC 10, I'll be coming from a HTC M9+, I am also interested in the big screen, IR and stereo speakers. I just worry about the speediness of Huawei on OS upgrades. Not sure the P8 has officially got Marshmallow everywhere yet, so Lord knows when you'd get Android N with the P9 or P9 Plus

Totally agree, this is like the phone I've been waiting for since I got my G2. Unfortunately to me the 3rd party dev support is what's gonna make it or break it...
I've been a loyal BlackBerry user for as long as I've had a smartphone: 9000, 9800, Z10, Z30 and currently Passport. Unfortunately even I've had to admit that BB10 is in it's final death throes. I flirted with the Sony Xperia S between the 9800 and the launch of the Z10 and the 3rd party ROM development was a big attraction. However the spec of the P9 Plus ticks all the boxes and coupled with the fact that I'm a Leica owner anyway, the draw (gimmick) of the Leica tie in, means that even without the ROM development the P9+ is likely to be my next phone.
Do any of you know when this is coming to NA?

I hope the dev community gets even a little support, because I plan to come from a ZTE Axon Elite, the Mate 8 has a decent amount of dev support including ROM's and stuff so hopefully the P9 Plus does too. Other than that, the AMOLED display, the faster more efficient processor, bigger battery, and (hopefully) better camera are drawing me over my current device, I would highly doubt audio is better though.

Here are a few articles on P9/Plus.

weak:
-****ty default UI & bloatware
-camera is decent but not breaking headlines
good:
apart from the weakness, all is superb

so if someone from xda released an excellent and stable custom rom 6 month after release, this will fix the ****ty UI and bloatware problem, and the phone shall be one of the best on the market. Yes?!
If so i'm gonna make the switch from my iphone 6 plus
Have a Sony Z2 since release and searching for a new phone. I am interested in the camera, big memory and battery. Seems like a great phone! Hope the "bugs" will be fixed like battery drain and something with the SD-card not being able to behave like internal memory (please correct me).
Only a month left until I am able to buy a P9 plus. Oh, it is not shipped with the possibility to use 2 sims here in Sweden.
