Change log/ new features in XXALJ3

India got a new ota update this morning with a LJ3 build
Here's my change log/what's new in this update from Sammy boys beast galaxy note 2 N7100 build XXALJ3
1.The led on charging has been fixed from low dim red to bright red ( but this issue still exists in leaked jelly rom for s3 glad sammy fixed this on the note 2)
2. The battery life has been increased also noticed that Android or android os test in battery usage is missing. After 2 hours I lost about 2 % on battery with 8 % on screen and device idel.
3. Smart rotation for YouTube has been fixed and smart stay seems to pick my face within a sec without the indication on status bar
4. Opening an app from multi view/multi window animation has been improved.. It doesn't feel a bit laggy like before.
5. Im not sure about this but on camera if your choosing between front and back there's a new animation icon
6. The web browser tab zooms in instead of side cha cha step
7. The keywords on stock keyboard predictions have been improved and accurate.
Things that haven't changed
1. The apex transparency issue in touchwiz hasn't been fixed ( I doubt samsung will provide a fix but hopefully the apex dev comes up with something)
2. The air view doesn't work on Google chrome like on web browser I can scroll down while hovering the screen.
3. Screen recorder hasn't been added yet.
Next wishlist for 4.1.2 ( if a samsung dev happens to see this post *Fingers crossed*)
1 . Please include Google + and Facebook messenger on multi window (if a power hungry apps like chrome or YouTube works I don't see why these apps didn't make the list)
2. Please do fix the transparency issue on apex and nova launcher.
3.please include an option to wake the screen using flip covers.
4. 5x5 icons on the Homescreen
5. Ability to hide the side bar on the picture Gallery.
6. FONT size issue
7. Auto keywords after a space bar press from stock keyboard
8. Status bar fix (we prefer the black status bar from ics(S3) the grey status bar on jelly might be a huge problem in the future and it looks odd on full brightness).

nova fixed the transparency issue 3 betas ago.

Oops my bad I used the older version of nova to see if they fixed the issue but sad the apex hasn't fixed it like when I scroll from page to page using apex the widget transparency still exists.. a huge boner for guys like me who depends on widgets..

If you use the latest stable official version from nova launcher then yes the problem still exists. But the transparency thing is fixed when you upgrade to a beta version (you can do that within the nova launcher settings).

We need also in the next update :-
(1) 5x5 icons on the Homescreen
(2) Ability to hide the side bar on the picture Gallery.

My wishlist....
- They need to fix the font bug -. If you set the font size to Tiny in either the system or the email client it doesnt set to tiny in the list of emails. (before anyone asks this worked on the old note 1)
- It would be great if they set the status bar color to black black and not some greyish black.
- 5x5 on the home screen plus reduce the margins and wasted space on the home screen.

Just got my Note 2, 3 hours ago. I got 3 updates in a row. And you what I love it. My god the screen is absolutely stunning.

Why limits to 5x5 home screen ? Just gives us the choice like on Nova launcher, i'm using 6 rows x 5 colmuns, perfect for using apps and widgets on home screen

You won't see 4.1.2 for a month or two.
Frustrations has just started.
But otherwise to me, still one of the best devices ever made.

Please make this a general thread where u can post all updates along with changlogs.

Transparent Stock Weather

Does anyone know where to get the Transparent Stock Weather Widget. I used to have one from the Note II but don't see for the S4.

Z2 Lockscreen?

Has the Z2 ditched the ''Blinds Effect'' Lockscreen from the Z/Z1 completely on the Z2? or is the option still there to use it? I thought it was one of the nicer lockscreen's about, shame if they have ditched it.

Ditched completely. There is a "glitter" effect now like in Playstation, and that's the only available option.

coast ssubre
I am coming from Galaxy S series, so just a short question.
Does the lockscreen also have the transparent status bar in Android 4.4.2, as in the home screen?
I have only seen pics of 4.3 lockscreen.

Do you need to run Touchwiz for Edge display features?

Hi,
I have never used one of the edge phones before, and was wondering if the display notifications on the edge of the screen only work with Touchwiz?
i normally use nova launcher on my S5 and was wondering if i will lose out on any features if i continue to when buying the S7 edge?
Cheers

AFAIK, the edge notifications are only available with screen off, with the screen on you get the default heads up notifications of android 6.0, so no, they aren't launcher dependent. But you'll need a stock based ROM though (which anyways isn't a case atm, because there aren't any others, but still).

Using Apex launcher with full edge functionality without issues.

Why install Nova or Apex? Are they faster? What do they offer what Touchwiz does not? I personally don't like the way Touchwiz/icons looks but saw you can make it look like stock Android 6 with a simple theme change.

Grid size/number change on app drawer and home screen, all widgets resize possibility, put one widget under the other one (cross them), a lot of beautiful themes/icon packs that touchwith don't have, ios 6 like folders design, transparent status bar, animation...
BTW, Miui ROM has amazing design, so there is MIUI 5 and MIUI 7 - ICON PACK by tung91 on Play Market with hundreds miui icons. The first one is free and it´s similar to donate version.

Yes obviously
