The Galaxy Note 2 is an excellent smartphone. For me the best to the current time.
But Windows Phone 8 is the best system for me, so I would very much install it on my Note 2.
Someone he has info about this?
This is a serious matter, not troll please.
Currently, there is no way to do this. Maybe in the future when we finish cracking the WP8 kernel.
As far as I understand this will never be possible. The main reason is because Windows Phone 8 is not open source and any released rom will get a cease and desist order from Microsoft. It would be the equivalent of you posting your Windows 7 on the internet for others to install. Then you would have to deal with the drivers and getting them to work.
From what I know, Samsung has excellent resale value. Why don't you sell your Note 2 and get an Ativ S.
I just my wife a 720 and am already having plans of selling away my 2 month old NeXus.
Also, apart from the kernels, the hardware poses a problem so porting isnt exactly a good idea. My two cents.

This won't happen and not just due to cease and desist orders from MS, from what I can gather WP8 devices have a TPM chip inside them as a secure boot requirement so porting to other phones can't be done.
Should be featured in the funniest posts thread but I'd rather stay put as others might not find this as amusing as I did for i own a wp
There are wp8 and wp7 launchers available on android.
Launcher 8 has been running on my gn2 for awhile. It allows for numerous tile sizes and transparent or textured tiles.
Very cool. Doesn't have landscape mode. Launcher 7 does allow for landscape mode but has no alternate sized tiles and
doesn't handle widgets nearly as well.
I just got a lumia 920 to compare with my gn2 and launcher 8.
I'm sure some of you watched the keynote live today. I wasted 3.5 hours of my life watching that keynote. No new N4,N7, or N10. Not even another Nexus Q. But they did announce a galaxy s4 nexus which I could really care less about. Oh yeah, and no new android either. 4.3 or 5.0. Pretty dissapointed. Just pitting the info here on good ol' xda.

Oh some people really do make me laugh.
You already have a Nexus 7 which is still an amazing and powerful device. It's running on the latest Android OS available and yet you think your time has been wasted?
What about the time which was spent by everyone at Google who put that event together? They spent all that time and effort for people like you to still moan about things.
What is the world coming to?

Google said this was going to be developer focused, and lots of important news came out from that side.
The new Galaxy S4 Nexus edition is pretty big news, in terms of what it could mean for the future of Android phones.
I'd rather wait and get a significant upgrade rather than have a half-arsed product be pushed out just so they have something to announce at the I/O (à la Apple)

This.
Google, no Nexus 7v2, no 4.3. All no problem. But don't play silly on deciding which device gets Hangouts and which not.
There is still plenty of time left. Chill.

Yeah I love my n7 :c Ive just been waiting for so long to some sort of way to stop the senseless battery drain introduced with 4.2. Other than that I wasn't planning on upgrading anyways, but the io was still pretty dissapointing anyways :/ the pixel is cool though.

All of what you say is true and respectable. But however a galaxy s4 with cyanogenmod is almost equivalent :/

These type of rants really make me laugh.
I for one am happier that there is no new Nexus 7 or Nexus 4, because both of those devices still kick ass. Stop turning into such consumers. What you have is good enough. The day Google starts releasing the same device with a tiny upgrade with an S at the end of it, is when I'll leave for good.
4.2.2 does the job. Some people complain about lag but I've never had any. You're doing something wrong if you have terrible amounts of lag, or a faulty device. It's that simple. Also, if you're having problems with the device, such as with the battery and lag or whatever it may be, play around with it and fix it yourself. After all, that's why you bought a Nexus device, right?
The updates to Google Maps are massive and very important, as are the ones to Google Hangouts. Tons of work has gone into them. Learn to be a bit more appreciative. Even if some people did get what they wanted, they'd just likely want more two months later.
Please stop being ridiculous.

I'm sure it's just a temporary glitch. For now, get the apk from the thread:

N7.2 is needed to keep up with the performance of the N4. Now an N4 owner has settle for a tablet that is slower and lower PPI than the phone, or bump up to the N10 and accept the added bulk & weight.
Hoping for an N7.2 doesn't mean the N7.1 is not still a great device. What could be bad about getting an N7.2 with better specs for the same price as the N7.1?
I just wanted a new Android version (4.3, 4.2.3, whatever) so it would fix the issue with Nexus 4 wifi falling asleep and doesn't get notifications in time or able to answer wifi VoIP calls. It's a known issue since november 2012, and still not fixed in 4.2.2!
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=42272
Well for me, I have a N7 but I will be probably be forced to hand it over at the end of the month.
So I'll be a new buyer. If the N7 isn't announced then I'll be forced to wait or buy last years tablet again. It has to be close because we all know Apple will update their mini this year.
I agree the N7 is a great device. I just don't want to spend $200ish on a tablet and a better one come out a month later for the same price.
Ahh I was really hoping. I even did my ritual Android dance before work today.

I am just sick of my Nexus 7 being laggy. I really feel like 4.2 was some cobbled together kang of 4.1 that they beefed up with a ton of features and rushed it out to the nexus devices so they could have a new version of android for the nexus 4 and 10 announcement. Granted with my 4's dramatically better hardware, I don't notice any lag at all, but it killed my Nexus 7. I've tried several roms and kernels too and it's still laggy, worst when it's resyncing from sleep. Google now can be virtually unusable at times on it too, with my keyboard taking forever to appear and then the screen not registering my inputs on it.
I understand for fragmentation purposes it might be the right thing to focus on play store updates, and core google apps and services as well as developer tools to give everyone who buys an android device a great experience. But if they are done updating android for a while, they gotta at least fix 4.2. It's the buggiest version of android since honeycomb!

Have you tried any of the custom ROMs made for the Nexus 7? I've been extremely happy with SmoothROM.

Not for me. The nexus lags like hell with horrid gpu rendering. I wanted that updated spec nexus 7. Google io sucked this year. I assume we will get less android updates now to limit fragmentation. I think 4.3 was nothing but a rumor and they are at least working on key lime.

All of the custom roms and.kernels have lag for me. This is my 2nd nexus 7 to. This thing needs a quad core + 2gb of ram.
Would everyone rather have Google be like Apple and introduce products MINOR changes to devices and throw on a "S" to the name or come out with new innovation? This years I/O was not a disappointment. Its not all about the "products".

Don't mean to be rude. However there is already a thread on this.

Apparently what Google want from it is support for older or less powerful devices as that's what they're concentrating on (or so the rumours go so far), it's supposedly going to run well on any device with 512MB or more.
-Better battery management
-Major UI overhaul (Holo is a bit gloomy)
-The ability to sync app data across multiple devices.

I hope that Google devs will rush to this thread just to take our ideas, wants and needs for KLP as clearly in your logic they haven't planned anything yet and most likely this is not in the pipeline of Android development.
And also I don't have anything against threads like this just I don't really think there's a purpose to discuss what we would like to have - we will get what Google has planned for us.

So i'm not too excited about Android N coming to Note 5/6 as much as i'm excited for it to come to the nexus line up. Simply because we won't gain anything going from M to N.
- Nexus will get multi Window and we already have that.
- Nexus will get a redesigned notification toggles and we have our own style that won't follow nexus design.
Maybe redesigned notifications? and that about it!
Did i miss anything ?
Google is your friend! There seems to be quite a few changes/improvements. http://www.androidauthority.com/android-7-0-features-673002/
Well if the next nexus will be as good or better as the current one ill be ditching note 6 and get the new nexus simply because of the fast updates samsung sucks at software ota's.

Even though Samsung software are slow to update, their apps such as email is hard to replace atleast for me.
Atleast they are sending security updates. I have May security patch before nexus this month.

Well some of us prefer faster updates especially if you came from a nexus device before like me, you'll miss the fast ota's. But you really cant complain about much on samsung the build quality,features, camera and performance of the note 5 is better(on my opinion) than the current nexus.
Now I will start topic Note 7 and Android O.
Hi,
I have just bought the Samsung Tab S2 (2016 ed) for internet and comics and are a bit concern about how long the device will be suported. I know that most phones do only get 1 or 2 android versions from the manufacturer, custom roms is the only way to get new versions of Android on to a outdated(according to manufacturer) device. If the manufacturer do not release the software("drivers") the custom rom could be tricky to get stable. How is it looking for the Samsung Tab S2(2016 ed/SMT813BK)? Is it likely that there will be custom roms that takes newer version of Android to the tablet then the manufacturer supports without any problems?
If you want a supported tablet get a nexus... Only real option... Tabs2 from 2015 git update to marshmallow ... I have had 2 updates... But genuinely don't think I will see any more ... As their focus is on phones. My 2013 nexus 7 still getting monthly security updates and whilst won't get official nougat will definitely get CyanogenMod or others ... And being a nexus it is easy to do this... Just one of the thing you accept when buying a tablet that is not a nexus.
2016 tabs2 will prob get nougat but not for a while and likely. Ot much after that

The problem is that Nexus 9 is not for sale anymore.
So there is no CyanogenMod or anything lika that for Samsung Tab S2?

There is a non official beta only version for the 2015 tabs2 built by some very intrepid and awesome developers ... But the challenge is that there are relatively few devs that get these types of devices so they are pioneers but without a big support network it is slow going for them when they hit hurdles.
Part if that is that the 2015 was exynos powered ... Always harder for devs to work with that Qualcomm.... That may help for the 2016 version.... But again it is only going to be a small group.
If a device do not ge system updates, how fast will it be outdated? How fast will you notice that apps is not working or that it is not possible to install apps becouse of the system?
I know that Apple is great in supporting there devices, even our old IPad 2 gets updates as long as the hardware can handle it. Maybe its better to stay on the IPad for a while until Google Nexus realeases a good tablet, Nexus are better in keeping the devices updated.
For me as a light user the hardware take a long time to get outdated. I Just use internet, read comics and play simple boardgames so no real hardware requirements.
