What do you think about it? Is this is a really revolution?

I think this phone looks very nice with a stunning UI. The technical specs are nothing special, but this could be quite a hit i think.

thats a savage ass phone, you kno what would be sick tho if you could change the color of all the LED's on it two from blue to like purple or something. It's linux it should be fully customizable like that

I love the look of this phone. Very appealing. I will be interested in seeing more about it.

This would be the perfect MP3 Player. But for a smartphone, I do not know if it will offer the extreme flexibility of any of the four TRUE smart phones: Symbian S60, Windows Mobile, Android.
Does this phone have a file system, etc? Also, does Palm Pre and Palm Pixi have a file system and file manager too?
But I've seen this phone before, and I was excited, and still am.
I just don't expect it to be smart-centric. I expect it to be more like a Zune HD experience with some "quasi-smart" features like on the iPhone.
Original Poster, I think you should compile links on the first post and make this the official ELSE anticipation and discussion thread.

But there are a few things I would like to know more about this phone.
*Judging by the Flash Videos, the keyboard on the phone sucks (but there are some pretty cool features). But the reason why it sucks is mainly due to the layout and size of the keys both in portrait and qwerty.
*I haven't seen any file manager. Will it be on this phone, and how complex is it?
*Speaker quality?

He was talking about the buttons being on the right side of the phone. Easier for us left-handers to use. I don't think you can change hardware location in settings

Use it upside down maybe!! too bad for you!! Does look interesting, but not entirely better than tab bars and such.. it does have that added sliding left feature and I guess it being capacative would not require much tension from the thumb. I am always up for new technology to push the limits.

Wow, maybe the device will not only have rotate orientation buy also flip orientation. That would be awesome!

It's all going to come down to how they market this phone. It looks great and definitely has appeal to those of us with a technical background and who love customization. But what carrier will they market it to? Can it be customized to settings that people find interesting such as led colors, programs, etc? and the biggest one: WHO will they allow to carry the operating system. Getting google to back this would be great, getting Nokia to make a phone able to support this would be great, but which one will have the advertising budget to challenge Apple and the like to the duel that will occur when this and the next generation of iphones is released? A small company like Access is going to have a really hard time trying to compete with Motorola, Nokia, Google, Samsung and Apple especially.

I'm sorry for reviving a dead thread, but does anybody know the name of this phone and the maker? I think the phone failed to launch and the maker went out of business and that's making it hard for me to find any information on this. A name should help, thanks.

The Linux based smartphone have actually been out for awhile. I think (Don't hold me to word on this) there is one called tuxphone. But I'm not sure if that's Linux based when I think back on it...

I wonder if it would be possible to port the launcher to Android since it is also Linux based? It looks pretty sexy...

The most thing about Android that is Linux based is it's kernel but a lot of it is actually Java, especially the apps.

Are you addicted to Android?

Just curious as to peoples addiction to android?
Myself now have owned 7 different androids phones. I have the inc2 and wife has commando. We each have tablets. Me the Asus slide and she has the prime. Sunday we bought the Sony Blueray Google TV.

Not yet. This Galaxy S2 is my first android phone coming from iPhone. Must say I love it though even convinced the wife to switch to the same phone from her iPhone

Maybe I would be addicted to android if I wasn't addicted to cocaine.

Rolling another green android as we speak.

I am definitely addicted to Android since discovering MIUI.us 2.2.3. Take the best features of IOS, add to it the best features of Android, throw in a liberal dose of nuance, style and flair and you have the perfect ROM.
I never thought i'd be saying this but it really is an order of magnitude better than Cyanogenmod. The infamous Android lag is all but gone! The N1 touchscreen wonks..gone! It's like i died and woke up in smartphone heaven. Most of the apps i used to use i don't need any more. Decent File Browser? Check. Decent Browser? Check. Decent SMS/Dialer/Alarm? Check!
What i don't need in a ROM are a hundred features that i have to turn off because i don't use them. What i do need in a ROM are core features that just work well. Consider me converted!
I seriously wouldn't trade my two year old phone for anything on the market right now, not even if it were free. Not a chance!

Wich phone you own?

Agree, and this is why MIUI has to port it to the Galaxy Note. I used MIUI on my Desire HD, and this is the one thing i miss the most. TouchPizz is a bloated resource hog that must die.

TouchPiss. YU NO LIKE???

It's too "heavy". I like them light, fast and stable.

It depend on which touchwiz. Touchwiz 4 is actually optimized for the phone it is on. That's why it never lags. But touchwiz 3 is a complete different story.

Yeah you're right, but i just don't like it in the same way i don't like Sense. It's just too much

I'm hooked on IceCremeSandwich's with no-sense!

pure curiosity
first, i have the android phone, then switch to iOS then at now, android again feeling to be more comfy with android (though iOS still rocks on perf and display)
but guess, loving now android coz to put my dev-inside

MIUI.us is working out so well for me. I have apps that never worked well on CM7 that are working perfectly now. The famous N1 touchscreen wonk has disappeared completely, (which is a miracle in itself), and not only are the stock apps better than AOSP, (Gallery, you know i'm talking about you), but they're better than the usual replacements. (Sorry, Quickpic).
A big plus is a beautiful U.I that is consistent throughout the software and on par with IOS. It's like somebody read my mind and made a bespoke ROM for me! It's all the little touches too. The nice animations, the way the music fades out when you pause it, (not to mention Lyrics support and a pretty visualisation), options for re-ordering Bookmarks in the Browser, a good Notes app, in built backup for apps, system and theme. It's incredibly fast and smooth too. Without the OC i had in CM7 it actually performs better!
Pics for the uninitiated:
How about a stock Data usage app, or a Firewall:
How good is that?

I love my android phone...
Still my first (galaxy mini), but i hope my next one will be better...

Why are people hating on this phone?

I've had it for two weeks now and I just don't get the hate. I mean it's no Galaxy S3 but the phone does it job, and well. People have complimented me a lot on how beautiful the phone looks, and especially the screen. Gaming is very good on this device, I can play games that I couldn't play on the Xperia Play (which was marketed as a gaming device) and it has a lot of great features. It has a inbuilt task manager which works really well, so I can't understand people complaining about the phone lagging. It hasn't lagged for me once and I'm using A LOT of heavy apps like Facebook, FB messenger, Whatsapp, Twitter, Viber, Instagram and Skype. And if the phone would lag you can just use the task manager and it kills the apps which a lot of other phones can't do well. When I read this forum section y'all scared me to dead and I honestly think some of you are a bit overdramatic about this phones performance. For a $200 phone, this is a great device. The only flaws are the battery life and the speaker. Multitasking is great, gaming is great, Browsing is smooth, camera is excellent and it's just does it job...
Is there something else I'm missing? How is this such a bad phone as some are claiming it to be?

It has to do with development and htc's complete lack of structure while building the OS...
And all the interdependence on the HTC framework...

Probably the biggest gripe with the phone is how hard HTC made it to dev for. The guys that can get stuff to work on JB ROMs are amazing. Getting sound to work is a real pain, data and WiFi are difficult to get working. It is totally cool if you leave it stock, although there is a lot of bloat (typical of all phones) and the "android is upgrading 4 of 120" gets very tedious. But I agree with you, the phone itself looks good, it has lots of nice features. I was happy with stock for the longest time, but ran into some really weird problems that have never happened to anyone else. Now I am S-Off and running a 4.2.2 (Jellybean) ROM and loving it.

Also this phones build quality is terrible. My power button is already broken and the volume buttons are losing their chrome

I'll say this about the phone - with a custom JB 4.2 ROM (like the unofficial AoCP ROM floating around) this thing is a beast. I mean that in a good way. It's fast ... 4G LTE speeds are phenomenal ... no lag that I can detect, no soft reboots (or hard reboots like with CM 10.2 on the Samsung Captivate, one of which I also have), the rear camera is adequate, and so far on mine all of the buttons still work. (It used to be my daughter's, then it sat in a drawer for more than six months because 4.0.4 ICS and Sense 3.6 didn't really seem to get along, but hey, it was cheap :silly.
AoCP's 6.2 (JB 4.3) for the Cappy is quite nice, and I wish it could be ported over to the Vivid. I like the animations for the information windows and menus, but on the Cappy it really began dragging. No such problems with the Vivid. Although it's an older phone, for me it represents an upgrade. Will I wind up getting another, newer phone in the future? Possibly. For now, though, I like the Vivid.

Make your note better and faster

First get Nova Launcher the paid version
Play with it and soon the lag disappears
Second get a screen protector!
There you go. No need to for all out instructions or reviews
Our note 4 is Awesome. Its how you use it and maintain it is how it will continue!

Wtf?

Um... What?

Lol fail

Thanks man. You have just saved my day. I should donate to your PayPal account for you incredible wisdom. Next time I have speed issues with my note 4 which is already lag free I will come to you so you can recommend me an app that everyone has seen before. Not to mention the screen protector idea. I mean. Silly me, why didn't I think of that.

Nova creates about a one second delay before my click registers when I click on an app such as messaging for example. I went straight back to Touchwiz since there is no reason for that.

THIS!!!! I dont know why people keep changing launcher from touchwiz to nova launcher!!!!
nova launcher is laggy compared to touchwiz on galaxy note 4!! i keep going back to TW after trying nova launcher.
Now im starting to like the mi launcher prime, its been 4 days im using this launcher thou i experienced lags but who cares,
i just love the overall ui of my phone and the themes.

Cos nova is better than tw.... That's widely regarded. If you prefer tw that's fine. I probably don't like the colour of your bathroom. That's fine too.. It's called preference!

Wow great guide man! You solved all the worlds problems.
Maybe you can add a third step: Charge your phone after at night so you don't need to buy a new one after the battery is dead.

Another tip. Buy a SD card to store data on it. So you gain 37,43% cpu speed. I swear

Speaking of TW and Nova, one of the reasons I've been using Nova for the last few years (besides the customization and fluidity) is the option the backup the settings thorough the built in option or TB when switching roms.
Is there a way to backup the settings and grid on TW? Built in option or TB...?
I actually never tried to do it using TB because I preferred not to mess with system apps and backup user apps or xml backup...

Why would any sane person use a screen protector? It has gorilla glass 4, as long as you aren't stabbing the phone it will be fine

I use MyBackupPro to backup my TW homescreens. It works well except with some widgets.

Satan, is that you ??

Really? Half of you really need to get a sense of humor. The hardest part of dealing with peoples concern with any samsung device is their hatred for Touchwhiz. Of course this in not a guide. Rather a simple suggestion to those who think Galaxy Flagships are laggy. They arent laggy. The Natural Touchwhiz Home launcher is built that way for looks. replacing it with Nova or others provides a quick response and stock AOSP look while maintaining the additions Samsung gives us.
Screen protector are for scratches not cracks IMO but even GG4 can crack and get scratches

Other people in the gorilla glass 4 thread have already gotten scratches on their screens. Even when GG3 came out everyone said you didn't need a screen protector. Then look what happened, people with sand in their pockets were tearing it up. I don't believe every claim companies make. Yes is it stronger. I will still use a rubber on this chick.

[IDEA][AOSP] S-pen feat.

Hey guys frozt here just thought I would drop an idea by you guys that love the note 4 but hate touchwiz.
So I was thinking in theory it would be possible to when detaching the spen to open the "Pie" control since when you do it on stock the spent quucksettings popup, and pie is way more customizable and user friendly
So my whole point is do you think that this would be useful?
P.S. I went to my nexus 6 I need a Turing point as to why I should come back to the note 4
Stereo speakers and 6in screens a big deal for me. Any thoughts?

so listen to this

there are many pie apps available in google play store. download any of them.
now go and search in same play store with keywords "note", "spen", "detach" and you ll get 2 or 3 apps which allows to launch an app on detach on aosp as well. chose wisely. hurray you got it.
nexus 6 with stock vs note 4 for tw.
---> tw has many options compared to stock android and nothing beats shealth, air command (spencommand for replacement), writing buddy, one hand, toolbox, upsm, camera, snote, finger lock, multi window, lock screen effects, accessibility settings, private mode, s finder, pop up call ................. phewwwwwww and many more.
hope you got your answer. :silly:
if stereo speakers is all u need then i cant do anything for you but screen is almost same only 0.3in difference so it should not matter.

I ran CM11/12 AOSP nightlies on my Note 2 right up till now. I replaced it with a Note 4 and you know what, Samsung knows best when it comes to the S-Pen and has integrated it well. I'm probably not going to flash any custom roms this time.

I love my nexus 6, its got everything I'm a visual guy and the look makes it sexy. I build widget in Zooper and it just adds to it, but Samsung has more of what I will need as I'm headed towards my pH.D.
As for the apps I understand that but what I was getting at is detaching opens pie with those feats from stock. Idk just and idea I thought no one had explored. So my nexus is posted and I'm gonna trade it!

Also I'm a T-Mobile user would the snapdragon be better or exynos?

snapdragon for better custom roms support as exynos will always suffer with lack of devs working on it.
and note is worth every penny. its not for guys who loves big and beautiful its also worthy for day to day work for any individual as well.
