Hey man, have you had it where you go to install an App and the 'pop' up dialog disappears until you touch it? Pretty much any dialog of the type disappears on AOKP in tablet mode. (atleast the version I'm using)
This is 213 dpi in 4.3 stunner. There's no dialog problem what so ever. Yes I can make and receive calls without any problem. This is the most stable ics I've ever used on note just follow the download instructions carefully

download instructions?Where?
Sweetness indeed...
Can you put 5 columns of apps like in GB, it seems that your video shows only 4. Although plenty of rows.
Also, and although I think it's mandatory as per the ICS specs, can you avoid the 3 hoe, back and search buttons in the screen and instead use the physical ones, even in landscape mode?
Thanks.
Is the S-pen compatible with this ROM?
You mind posting the settings used? I changed the dpi to 213 but I can only use the middle of the screen. Not sure what else needs tweaking to be able to use the full screen...
Great little video
I used the tablet mode for a couple of days and it's a nice change! However, now i'm using the phone mode on ICS Stunner 4.3 and it's equally as awesome
What you guys talking about,...which rom ,what ,,damn did I miss something?

No I don't think we can put 5 columns in apex launcher. That came with the rom. I ain't sure about other launchers.
And I don't think you can remove those three keys from the navigation bar..

I disabled automatic grid size in apex launcher settings>home screen settings. And set the potrait grid size to 9*8. I like having many icons on the desktop so this grid size helps me. You can try 6*6 or anything else you find good for you

Problem getting into tablet mode
I apologise for asking this question, but I haven't found an answer within the forum anywhere and I am unable to post it in the developer section due to me being a new user. I've been using the ICS Stunner 5.0 beta ROM for the past two days now and I am unable to get it to boot into tablet mode. I have followed all of the steps in Euphoria Control to get it into tablet mode, including a custom DPI of 213. I performed a clean install with the ROM and my phone has full root access.
Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers

[discussion] MULTI WINDOW feature on s2

Can someone suggest if the multi window feature of galaxy note 2 can be ported to galaxy s2 ???
4.3' screen hmmmm
buy Gnote 2 and u will get multi window
it will b great if it happen i m sure that it will b possible on Paranoid android rom may b
it would be a good idea but you will need a s-pen or move the selected window up when you use the keyboard, im not sure how its done on the note 2 but its a must with multitasking, have a note pad on one side and the web on another, will help copy and paste information.
I wouldn't say it would be impossible, but I'd say it would be freaking difficult. I was one of the people who tried to port the S3 ROM to the S2 and trust me, it is one hell of a job. So, I don't thin any dev would be up for porting the Note 2 ROM for S2. NVM, I'm gonna get a Note 2 anyway.
Wow. What I would give to have this on my S2. So many possibilities! Been using dual monitor on my pc for a while now, hoping it would be similar in a way, the productivity increase could really be worthwhile.
But i can see this would take a lot of work to implement on our devices. :\
I believe the framework has to modified ..meanwhile use the floating widget app
multitasking window

yes, you are right. Similar to x-plore.apk which has two screens side by side. It helps copy the files and paste it to different locations within the phone and memory card. Its an amazing app with lot of nice features. I simply love it and nothing equalant to that as of now. what do the community think? :good:

I got that program too, its the only file manager you need, open zips,apk as zips, it helps alot with transferring photos to their right folders to external sd. I remember it was on symbian mobiles but just with one pane,
in paranoid android you can change the dpi and layout so it displays more on the screen, helps alot and its not too large, with contacts you can get a similar result to xplorer, have all your contacts on one side and the other is the details of who you clicked on, same with settings,calendar,google rss reader,
This?

I, too, would like this feature in S2. Although I am thinking of getting a Note2 anyhow.
Do you think it'll be possible now since its coming on the s3? It would be a great feature to have.
Completely useless on small screens IMVHO.

I used DisasterROM v9 and flashed a mod specifically for this ROM, cause the SecSettings.apk was heavily edited.
I'm now using DisasterROM v10 and multiwindow is working, but I've lost the toggle to switch it on/off.

Google Chrome vs Samsung Internet Browser

Hi xda
I've been using my new Note 2 for the past 2 weeks now but still havent made a decision to go for which browser to use as stock.
A number of apps, website etc etc opens up a window of choices and still I pick one or the other as 'and haven't decided on the "default" one yet.
Which browser are you using on your Note 2? Or you think suits the Note best?
Wish there were some features which could enhance the implementation of the stylus
Handwritten from my Galaxy Note II
Opera Mobile
Default Samsung browser is the fastest, even faster than opera and all the other 3rd party ones. The only issue i have with it is it won't zoom in on text as nice as chrome when i double tap. Then theres the chrome sync which syncs your desktop stuff to you phone. Guess its up to you to decide

Ahmm actually it does. Go to Settings in the Internet app then Advanced and tick the box where it says Auto-Fit Pages. It will do the trick. You can even customize the minimum zoom you want there. I am actually beginning to like the default app instead of Chrome. I dunno it kinda sucks. Except the tab sync there is not really a benefit in using Chrome.

Dolphin. The best in my opinion. However stock is better than chrome.

stock browser.
if opera had flash then I'd choose that, but it doesn't.
The samsung browser is I think the android browser. It's not samsung. Js

Stock browser because I like the smoothness.
Chrome is laggy
Dolphin, alternatively if you require flash the "samsung" stock browser.
Today I've stumbled upon the Boat Browser, and I think it's the best one I've used so far, it even can fit in Page when pinched to zoom ilike Opera except that it also supports Flash.

Same here.. If only the stock browser could incorporate the Swipe to change tab feature in Chrome!
stock browser plus tab = perfect
Yeah but for me tabs switching on the stock broswer is jusy an awful experience. Whereas for chrome dolphin etc it is very accessible.

stock browser vs chrome

Both from a factual view and a personal preference view what do you guys think is the better browser of the two?
I found with the jb update the Stock browser began to load faster than chrome although the keyboards generally still worked badly in forums, swype being worst.
With chromes new update I find it to be about equal. I've tried running the ms fish HTML test on both and it doesn't run well on either so I didn't find that a good test to give any solid facts but right now I prefer chorine purely based on using it to write in forums but other than that they seem to perform roughly equal as far add I can tell. What do you guys think?
To be honest I have not found any better than stock. I don't care for gestures, synch or any fancy features, all I want I a fast browser that doesn't lag while reading and rendering pages. Stock is awesome, chrome not so much. Flash seems to work on stock and if it didn't video and mx player do a good job.
I'd like, however, that it would organize pages as opera mobile does. Opera's brilliant in this. Sadly is rather buggy in other departments. That's the only thing I'm missing. Other than that, stock is just about perfect and that's what I use.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA Premium App
Some good points well made, since Google make both browsers its strange that they should be so different though maybe stock is optimised to each device and chrome is one size fits all.
I love a lot of things about chrome but for raw speed as far as I can tell like you say, stock is the Best in that department. Difficult to Test without 2 phones
stock browser all the day
its faster smoother have more feature like full screen mode
but chrome has cool feature too but its suck :silly:
The stock app is awful, I have Firefox, Chrome and Skyfire installed on my S3
None. I don't like the stock browser's messy menu configuration. Chrome is just... odd. I rather enjoy Dolphin, but I've been using Boat Browser for a while now, and I've grown fond of it...

Chrome causes S3's running Jelly Bean to reboot when you use cut and paste, so I'd have to vote for the stock browser, or dolphin, or firefox, or any other browser.
Seriously, try it. Load up Chrome (on your GT-I9300 Galaxy S3) and long-press on an area of text, select some text and then either press on the selected text or press the copy icon (two overlapping rectangles). Do this between 1 and 20 times and your phone will reboot. It's great!
after so many months, the chrome browser sucks, i admit it looks nice, cool features, but its so laggy, even scrolling mobile sites, its a joke, i feel sorry for the nexus 4 owners
Nothing beats the fluidity of the stock browser. Sure, it might not be fully compatible with all the websites but it is miles better than having frustration over laggy scrolling found in Chrome.
Moreover, the browsing convenience and speed using Quick Controls is unmatched.
I don't know why Google doesn't implement these things in Chrome.
Stock is noticeably smooth in scrolling.
i think stock is better but chrome has better sync abilities with desktop
Back before I was an android user (and therefore didn't pay much attention) I'm sure I read that they intend to eventually replace stock with chrome as default browser in android... Is there any truth to this? I hope not, while I love having chrome I like to have the choice, and the different things that stock browser has.
I really want to like chrome... I really do. I keep giving it a chance for a few days every time they push an update out. The deal breaker for me is the lack of full screen mode and the relatively choppy scrolling in general - emphasis on 'relative' ! I guess if the stock browser wasn't so smooth (and very fast to use with quick controls) I would be perfectly happy with chrome.

The new JellyBean stock browser seems very nice, has some features from ICS Browser+, this is from my limited time playing with it at least. Which of them all probably would make this one my favorite browser, but of course it could be because it is new.

Couldn't put it better myself. I also "give it a chance" every now and then... but get annoyed about the same things as well as lack of flash support.
When referring to "stock" browser, I feel the cm10 stock browser is also far superior to stock Samsung however...

+1, totally agree. Though since I am making UCCW theme's, I kind off have to link my widgets to Chrome for universal support
Still use the Stock CM10 browser more though. Chrome sometimes feels slow and not so smooth when scrolling.

Loving the stock browser

I'm really enjoying using the stock browser on my One, it's a real plessure to use. As I do a lot of web browsing on my device this is very important to me. Plus the gorgeous display makes happy that I went and got myself the best phone on the planet.
ye its amazing cant wait to get my own one!
faster than chrome and/or dolphin?
I know on phones the stock browser is usually hardware rendered but these days chrome/dolphin are lightning quick
Can't remember if it came with Chrome or not. If it did then I must have removed it as a matter course.
Sent from my Tricked out HTC One via xda-developers application
It comes with Chrome pre-installed. Stock is slightly faster and supports Flash, but I prefer the Chrome integration across devices.
It looks great for sure. Does it still have text reflow?
Stock has yes.
I never thought i would switch from Chrome but the stock browser is extremely smoother and faster for a fairly intensive project i'm working on
The text reflow is perfect on the stock browser, that's why I'm using it.
I've also noticed it supports 16 tabs/windows at the same time!
I was getting pretty fed-up with the 5 tab limit on my Sensation ...
I must admit it's better than the S3 stock browser. I migrated to Chrome and prefer this day to day.
Is there a way to quick change tabs? It's one of the reasons I like chrome (swipe to change tabs)
But I am loving Chrome :victory:
I'm an avid chrome user but since getting this phone I've actually has no reason to actually use chrome over the default browser. It performs exceptionally well. Best stock browser I've used to date.

I dont know if you have to zoom out evertime when you load a page.
But as i tested the one in an o2 store, there was NOT A SINGLE LAGG in pinch to zoom or scrolling. It was the best browser i´ve ever experienced on any phone (tested the s3 and ip5 in the same store for example).
