Hello All! Ready for some Questions? - Galaxy Note 10.1 General

Hey guys-
Just wanted to say Hello! New member to this community- just recently picked up a 16gb White Note 10.1 (Got a great deal on it.)
Will be picking up a nice leather case (don't care about bluetooth keyboard) and a 64gb SD Card
Alil background- came from a 32gb HP Touchpad running CM10.1 on it!
Few questions to get me started:
Rooting- what's the best/ stable ROM out right now for the Note 10.1?? I have the US Variant 8013.
And what's the procedure? As I said- for the HP Touchpad- we just had to install PALM files/ Novacom and run a command within DOS- is it similar? Or do you guys use that Framaroot? And how would one "unroot?" For the Touchpad- we just had to run ACMEUninstaller!
ROM Requirements/Wishes:
I'd like to keep the ability to use the SPen/ Note features, as well as the ability to use Samsungs Allshare Cast Dongle (which I will be getting shortly- unless someone states something better to use)
I'm not looking to overclock it too much and would like a nice UI that's not like Touchwiz- unless I can have the ability to get rid of the amount of homescreens.
I'd like to be able to change Grid size as I dislike how the screen is just crammed into the middle. And if you've done this- what's the best size/ setup?
I'd also like MultiView for EVERY app- is that possible? And if so- do I just use the apk tool? or does a ROM already include that feature?
Also- besides S Note- what's the best notebook/ writing app you use? I've seen Papyrus, LectureNotes, and a few others. Looking for something really stable and that doesn't mess up with "hand/ palm support" because I've noticed that even S Note sometimes gets finicky when trying to write like an actual pad. I know I know- it's not perfected yet- but it's still good to ask
Thanks for your time and looking. Can't wait to dive into this and see what this bad boy can do.

Wasn't trying to offend- just listed credentials to see what ROMs would meet them- sorry for any offensive content.
Secondly- was just inquiring what apps were good for writing- besides snotes etc.
Also- whats the best resolution wallpaper to get for our tablets? I've tried 2048x2048 and used gallery to resize it- and tried 1280x800- but neither look right to me

I found that Write in combination with Rotation Lock Adaptive creates the best writing experience for me. Write can be setup to ignore all touch, while still recognizing the s-pen. However your hand may still touch the buttons on the bottom of the phone. To take care of that is where Rotation Lock Adaptive comes in. Set it for reverse portrait and the buttons get moved to the top and there is nothing for your hand to touch and mess thing up. I also added a BoxWave anti-glare screen protector which adds a little tooth to the screen so the pen feels more like it is writing on paper.

I've got the 8013, and I'm not a fan of this rom. It's buggy and crashes for me. I'm still looking for a good one.

[Q]A rom or something to make my Galaxy Tab better

I want to know if anyone is making or thinking of making the Galaxy Tab more unique. I mean like roms and everything that make super awesome use of it altogether. I understand this is what Google is trying to do with Honeycomb, but as you know the Galaxy Tab is Samsungs and you know how good they are with updates...
I am asking this because when people ask me what it can do I have to always say something like "It's like my phone but better" or "It does everything my phone does without the calling"
there are no real custom roms out yet, but there are 2 or 3 "mods" u can try
I see almost everything is for GSM based Tabs, why is there no real love for the VZW or Sprint TAB? Is it that much harder to port things over for or is it cause not many of us TAB owners using VZW/Sprint?
Verizon tabs are easier to get clockworkmod on. You can just buy the app. So I dont think it would be harder then a gsm model. Correct me if I'm wrong please.

u have to jump through hoops just to flash cwm on the fascinate
Not sure what u mean by "better" though. I didn't want a phone but I want something I can use alternative to netbook. 3g and phone capabilities are plus but not necessary as long as there is wifi. I can read ebook and watch my ripped movies and animes on big enough screen for one person. Netflix would be a huge plus for that aspect. I gave up on buying mp3 player because I dont want to carry another device and tab does play music okay.
Tab is not really meant to be better for everyone nor better than smartphone, I think. It is only better for people who can find better use.

LauncherPro is much better than the Samsung Home in my opinion also which is also preinstalled.

Looking to get the A500...

Hello everybody, I'm sageDieu and I am a very active user in the Samsung Mesmerize/Fascinate forums as well as the general Q&A, Apps and Games, Development etc threads here at xda.
I have been exploring options thinking about getting a tablet, and I have used a lot of them at Best Buy. I was just looking around and found that i had a bunch of rewards points on my credit card, just enough to get me the Acer A500. So the first thing i did was head over to xda to see what the development was looking like for this tablet, and from what i can tell it looks pretty active which is promising. The main thing I would want to do when i get a tablet is get it rooted, wiped and on a stock honeycomb rom with as much performance and as little proprietary software as possible.
My questions for you guys are:
1. Do you recommend getting the tab? It seems to be my best potential option, and the hardware specs look great.
2. What is the process of rooting, CWM, roms, etc. in a nutshell for this device? I am familiar with terminal, linux, adb, all that stuff for my phone and lots of other devices I've played with. I'm assuming for this just grab and run gingerbreak then adb CWM over? I've never owned a tab before.
3. After I get to that point (if I do, still not even sure about buying the thing) can you guys tell me what your favorite roms are? There seem to be a lot that have active stable development.... mostly 3.1 with different options but then there's the 3.2 xoom one and some other ones... it's a bit overwhelming coming from my phone where we have stock, a custom debloated rom and then CM7 and MIUI. Just some quick recommendations would be great for things like speed, battery life, performance, bloat, stability, etc..
Thank you so much to anybody that takes the time to help me out. If I do get this device I assure you I will be very active in the forums and do my best to keep it going.

I don't have any experience with other tablets except seeing some being used. I have not used them myself. Thus I have a hard time giving anything concrete in the way of differences or opinions, but, well, I haven't had any issues with my Iconia and the hardware is just great; the battery lasts and lasts and lasts, the screen is pretty, the full-sized USB port is really daymn handy.. And I like the one thing Acer has made in their ROM: Dolby enhancements. It does make a difference

1. Install Iconiaroot.apk and tap on "root", you're done.
2. Install Acer Recovery from Market, tap on Install, you're done.
And that's that, you've got CWM installed and the thing rooted. Not too hard
3. After I get to that point (if I do, still not even sure about buying the thing) can you guys tell me what your favorite roms are?

I personally like the stock ROM the most, the others have this or that naggle..
i have been enjoying the minimal rom (albeit overclock would be nice). Going to be testing out lightspeed with thors kernel to see how well that one compares.
I looked at five different tabs; Samsung, xoom, HP webos tab, blackberry Playbook, and this one. The two downfals of the iconia are the screen and the processor. There are faster and better displays out there but the tablet had all theother features I wanted at a much cheaper price. A good competitor for this one was the Asus transformer, but I wanted better haptic feedback from using the keyboard.
1. I enjoy mine and would recommend it. That said, honestly you'd have to say exactly what you're looking to get out of the Tab so others can offer constructive recommendations.
2. You'll find rooting and installing CWM to easier and quicker just than just about any phone out there. Literally can do both inside of 2 minutes right on the Tab itself.
3. As far as roms go there are options. That said, since HC source code will probably never see the light of day the talented devs on here are pretty limited on what they can do. The good news is most stock roms are fairly bloat free in comparison to phone roms. I believe the Galaxy rom has the most customization you'll find. So.. check some rom threads on here and experiment. A few kernels are available too.
Hope that helps
By your numbers:
1. I think it's the best tablet out there for the money, and definitely in the running for best tablet period. There are faster, lighter tablets available, but there is nothing out there that completely matches the feature set of the A500. Depending on what you want from a tablet, you might end up like me with it being your "only" option.
2. Best way to describe the A500 rooting process: SCARY EASY. I can't believe how easy it was after what I had to go through to root my HTC Evo 4G phone. Everything on the A500 is like one-click. The IconiaRoot app roots it in one step, the Acer Recovery Installer installs ClockWork Mod in basically one click, and then you're able to flash away on whatever ROMs you want.
3. I'm no use here. I like the stock Honeycomb v3.1! You actually might, too. There's a lot less bloatware on tablets compared to phones, and even stock it's pretty smooth/fast. I definitely felt the need to hack up my HTC Evo phone, but my A500 is only rooted and tweaked a little.
Good luck with your decision!
Thanks for the feedback. In response to "what I want in a tablet," it would mainly be a media device, games, music, movies etc. and I might use it for development in the future.
Sadly, my Xbox broke and I have decided to use my points for a new one since it gets a lot more use than I think this would. I really appreciate the answers, and I will keep you guys in mind when I save up the cash to buy a tablet. Thanks

lol nothing worth playing on Xbox until MW3 comes out in Nov. COD Black Ops blows chunks, MW2 was the last good one of the series. Wait until November for your Xbox, and get your Iconia now!! lol

On topic: Hello, I hope to be a new member of the Iconia Community shortly. I was going to make one of these topics, but thanks to the OP, I didn't have to =p.
I've read the reviews by those big name reviewers on the Iconia, Galaxy Tab, Thrive, Playbook, iPad (eww), Transformer, etc.. but they'll never compare to actual users of the product in the real world. With that being said I have one more question to add:
What are the specific issues/concerns that have come up with the Iconia? I've read there are sleep issues with the unit? I haven't had the chance to read through the changelogs of the various roms for the Iconia yet, but have they fixed any of the stock issues?
Thanks in advance and hope to hang around here for some time to come =)

Quite many people seem to have issues with WIFI not getting IP address, but apparently the fix is easy enough. I don't know if newer firmwares have fixed the issue.
Personally I have not had a single issue with the tablet at all so again I cannot comment much more than that.
i run stock rooted and have only 1 small issue.....occasionally I will install from the market and the apk will download but never move past "installing" i have to leave the market and come in again and redownload the apk etc.
Also if you are looking at purchasing, and have a cosco around do it there. 32gig version with case (a crappy one) and hdmi cable for $429 is very hard to beat. Also with the cosco you get 90 day return and 2 years warranty. (3 if you use amex to buy)

There are afew private sellers that are selling the unit. I really don't care about warranty because i'll be rooting, and with my past history with devices and electronics, i've never claimed warranty anyways. I will, however, look into that, there's a costco near my work! Looking at a seller with a 16GB model at $350 Canadian unopened box. Seems like a good deal.

Hybrid ROM for our Note

There was a thread posted over in the Q&A section that I think was rather overlooked, and really deserves more attention. Since the Note is supposed to be the best of both worlds (tablet and phone) then it stands to reason that a hybrid ROM for the Note would make the most sense!
Even now that we have ICS on the Note, it's still (disappointingly) just a really big phone with an S-Pen. What would really push it over the edge, as far as the cool factor is concerned, is for someone with the skills and know-how to figure out a way to make a decent hybrid ROM for the Note.
We could merge UI elements of both the phone and tablet interfaces, and also have it such that some apps run in a phone interface, while others in a tablet mode etc. Also, having the tablet navigation buttons on the bottom would be nice for using the S-Pen (because it doesn't work on the capacitive buttons).
What are your thoughts everyone?

There is somthing called AOSP/AOKP. You can go into tablet mode just by changing DPI. Navigation buttons are there

Thanks. I know this already... I'm not talking about AOS/KP.
I know I have mentioned this a number of times, and it still hasn't yet caught on. Why? Idk...
But, to clarify, I am not necessarily talking about an AOSP/AOKP build here (I actually kinda like some of the TouchWiz flare).
Hell, even if someone were to take some cues from the 7.7 and tweaked the Note's framework to include things like the min-app tray and little things like that, that would be awesome!

imilka already said he's working with PA team to port it over, so we just need some patience
About including some of the 7.7 features to Note I don't think there will ever be a developer that is willing to invest the huge amount of time and resources in incorporating AOSP/AOKP with 7.7 stock features and I have no idea if that's even possible :/

I guess this all boils down to the same question I'm sure a lot of us have been asking for a while: How long will it be before we have a fully functioning AOSP/AOKP build, where everything (and I mean everything!) works? (MHL, OTG, the button on the S-Pen, full hardware video acceleration, etc etc etc...)
What's 7.7 ?
Anyway, I would love a ROM that can "run" TW framework, so that everything works as on the official ROM, and that allows tablet mode. After trying tablet mode, I don't want to go back to smartphone interface, at the same time I would like sock FM Radio, stock camera, stock calendar, etc. I've seen the Galaxy Tab 7" 2 recently, it was ICS and I don't know what TW version it was but I'd love that on my note.
I like the idea.
Haven't tried tablet in a while....but isn't the font awfully hard to read? I (I'm old!)...And...
I use portrait most of the time....doesn't tablet force a reach to the top. of the device for most app functions?
I'd love to use tablet mode now but those made functionality tough for me.
Thanks

Hi -- Intro -- and Question on Rooting

Hi --- I just purchased my tab 7.7 this week and have been reading through this forum. I traded in My Galaxy Note (actually my Girlfriend snapped it up at a bargain trade in price).
The Note was my first ever Android Phone and I absolutely loved it except for the Music Quality. I decided to go with two Devices instead --- The Nokia 808 as my phone and the Tab 7.7 as my Tablet.
The Nokia 808 has outdated hardware, a mediocre screen, a soon to be extinct OS and horrible support in terms of Apps but it absolutely shines as 1) A basic Phone 2) A superb 41Mp Camera 3) Superb Music Quality made even better through USB OTG 4) Great Navigation (Nokia Maps is really Excellent).
So I use the Tab 7.7 to offset the Nokia 808's weaknesses 1) Photo viewing and management via its magnificent screen 2) Internet Connectivity 3) All the various apps I like to use
Seems like a good match so far and I do not mind having 2 devices as I have put a 64GB microsd in the Nokia so that it replaces my Music Player as well as my casual use camera.
What do I not like about the Tab 7.7 so far??? ---- well coming from ICS on the Note seems like a step backward but actually ICS is not the great Leap so many people think it is -- So I am learning Honeycomb and its not that bad actually.
Lagginess -- a bit slower rendering big catalogs of photos than I would like but other than that not really a big deal. I am not a gamer or a Power User so the lagginess is not a big deal and it is not that bad anyway (just a bit less Zippy than the note).
What I REALLY do not like:
1) The fonts -- Uggghhhh -- What were they thinking?! I have read the posts on this topic and am using "the "Big Font" app which is more like a band-aid that at least makes the Tab usable for my tired eyes --- but it really is a far from perfect solution and makes the Tab 7.7 looks screwed up sometimes when switching between the apps.
2) Cannot write to external SD from other Apps? Were they serious?! A major inconvenience for someone like me who is putting so many images on the device and hoping to use it as an on-the-go image manager.
So now the big question ----- to Root or not to Root?????
It seems there is little in the way of user-ready Custom ROMs.
ICS is supposedly on its way either July or August.
Do we think ICS will solve the problems above?
Is it worth rooting now? Any Real benefits?
If I update to stock ICS when it becomes available can I Root from there? Or will I need to Flash back to HC to Root?
Very much interested in everybody's input.
errr.... did you miss this topic about ICS release...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1748745
btw... all the rooting and writing to external SD can be read from the development section... its all there... enjoy reading
Yep -- its kind of funny I just posted -- then saw the threads on ICS -- maybe I brought you guys some Goodl Luck :silly:
As to Rooting --- Yes I have read the threads there. I know already how to Root.
I am asking for OPINIONS as to whether it really make sense given the absence of Custom ROMs --- is it worthwhile?

if you use some apps like titanium backup which required root... then its a plus... but there is many other option open when you root the device...
i like to tinkering with the build in setting... and some other thing... so root is a must for me... it give me full control over the device...
Ok Thanks --- If I am reading the ICS thread correctly it looks like you can root directly from ICS (Unlike the Note where I had to downgrade to Gingerbread first).
In that case I will let you early adopters test ICS out and see if any issues (does it have the infamous "brick bug") and maybe upgrade and root tomorrow.

What is the best (latest/ updated) custom rom for note 3 SM-N9005?

I just rooted my phone and installed cwm recovery, now I want to flash custom rom, I also want to keep the S Note, Action Memo app. Any suggestions? Sorry I am new to all of these. Thank you in advance for your help.

As per some rule you can't ask for best ROM/ Kernel suggestion, but I like stock based ROMs, so I use the Deodex version of OF3 ROM, Deodex because I need Xposed. If you don't need that you can use Odex version.
This is the one I use, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-qs-n9005-lp-t3037655
OF3 however is not latest, OGX (X=something) is, but I don't care really. The above ROM doesn't come with a lot of options, just very few features added, but that's what I like, as close as possible to stock ROM. If you don't need Xposed and need a ROM with lots of features then look for AryaMod.

Not true anymore, mods changed it
They even made a front page discussion about people favourite
To advise someone what is the best, Is based on there own experience and opinion.
My own experience may be mainly gaming.....
Or it may be with Business models, Each depends on the type of feedback, result in complete different ROMS....
Can you see where am going with this?
I can answer you question, but only Vague:
S note and Action Memo - Why????
The reason i ask, if you want to keep them, Then you can only go with a TW based ROM. This is the TouchWiz (Samsung ROM)
If you dnot have a valid reason, other than you use them.
The a CM or any AOSP Based ROM, Does not have ANY TouchWiz Feature, For example, the Spen, The Menu, The functions.
But there are additional Apps that are matched in results or in some cases better (As they have been developed on the feedback of the note users)
S-Pen command is an example.
Then you can get addition application like: Fiinote that are just as good as Action Memo, Or EverNote or OneNote.
The LIST Goes one.
My one advise to you, Is to enjoy flashing and try them all, See what grabs your attention, Every person on XDA is different, and this is possibly why one of the rules come in about BEST ROMS.
Its too much optionion based, and everyone has there own option.
I hope this is not a complete pointless post, and helps a little.
But there is no harm in trying, and you will have alot of Fun seeing each developers take on it
Thank you so much @dave7802 for your help. I really appreciate it and it all makes sense. Everybody has own different preference. That is what I am going to do, I will try different roms and see where to stick. Glad I have this XDA app on my phone and receiving info and answers from you guys. Thanks again sir. Cheers!

Okay, that's excellent! I never did like that decision anyway. Thanks for informing mate.
My advice is Audax L. Stock based, reliable, always up the date, all mods which are neccessary and useful, easy flashable with aroma installer and has own costum kernel which is always up the date and really good for performance and battery consuming. Just try it.

+1 (not biased at all)
Do the non-tw Roms support pressure sensitivity through ie; sketchbook? It's been a long time since an official lollipop update. .
I'm usin' the DarkLord s6 port V2.0 from several weeks as daily driver, it's good and reliable, no problems exept a minor bug with fast notes.

How do you guys stay on TW?
I love it, the features dont get me wrong, Some of them are very nice.
But the speed is notability different coming from using CM for more than 12 months.
Small things like, Notification Status Pull Down, the delay from swiping down, to it appearing is noticeable slow.
App Drawer, open close applications, Accessing menus, All have a delayed response. Multi Tasking loading.
I have tried the following ROMs,
Dark Lord S6 and Note variants.
AryaMod V7.2
Norma Rom
Alliance
The BEST in regards to speed, But still noticeable is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-qs-n9005-lp-t3037655
As another user advised (Thanks)
This is no slander, As i do enjoy touchwiz, But i will admit, i am a speed freak, When i want someone i want it yesterday.

To me CM/AOSP has too many missing UI/UX features, requiring more swipes and clicks for activities I perform. Also, once one has actually grown accustomed to TW, it requires time to learn. If you're busy in your life, you don't want to be non-performing and slow for 2 weeks when learning the ins-and-outs of a new ROM/UI/UX variant.
That's why I have not switched.
I accept the slowness of TW, but it's not too slow for me (and I multi-task a lot).
I'd be willing to try out CM builds, but it seems impossible to find realisting non-fanboy reviews of CM builds on Note3, that detail:
- what real bugs there are (sometimes the small annoying bits in Wifi/BT/sleep/battery can drive one inside, even if 90% of casual users don't notice them)
- what Pen/TW/camera module features does one has to give up when switching to non-Samsung ROM? CM/AOSP ROMs will always be missing Samsung libs, apps and as such many hardware supported features due to their generic nature. I have not seen an honest list that just lists all the missing features from Note3 CM/AOSP roms, without resorting to "nobody uses that feature anyway, so I didn't list it" type of comments.
Just backing up, cleaning up, flashing, re-installing, re-merging apps and data is so much work (full work day for me) that I just don't have time for that, unless I know what kind of deep doo-doo I'm going to end up with.
This, imho, is one of the reasons preventing some users from switching over, but yes, Samsung's "we are too lazy to update Note 3" policy is really pushing me towards CM builds
BTW, to not be totally off-topic I'm using DarkLord 5.0.2 build and it is so-so. Sometimes it lags badly. Sometimes it closes background apps by itself (way too fast, even with no huge multitasking). I'd like to get it patched and update to 5.1.1. but until Samsung releases the 5.1.1 ROM for Note 3, no such luck.
How do I stay on TW?
The simple answer is, I bought a Note 3, there are quite a lot of micro/ small things which make it a Note, and as long as I want to use a Note phone like a Note phone, I would use TouchWiz, end of story.
I am a professional. I need quite a lot of things. If I were a kid with no life other than to show off to friends hey look I have the latest version of Android, do you have it?, and take pride in that, probably I would go the AOSP route. Thank me that I can't be one of those low IQ people! :laugh: If you don't have the brain to process what's good/ complete and what's pathetic/ half baked nonsense, then anything which comes with a decent enough packing will look good to you.

I've never seen someone start a sentence saying "I'm a professional" and then write such a stupid post.
