Brand New OTA (4.0.4) rolling out as of today. S Cloud and more incoming

Starting in Germany today Android Central are reporting a brand new update for the International Galaxy Note. It's still based on Android 4.0.4, so don't get get too excited just yet. This brings along popup play, the brand new S Cloud contact backup, home screen improvements, a new lock screen, general UI overhauls and the new 3D gallery app found on the Note 2.
These are said to name 'but a few' of the changes. Until we get some hands on time and start to build a bit change log w e can't be sure. Post up in the thread if you get your hands on it and we can start to sift through it.
On the surface there's nothing I'm massively excited about being a Nova Launcher user, and a QuickPic fan. The popup play could be nice though. Anyway, the crux of the update is this. We're getting Galaxy S III features and Note 2 apps/features before it even launched. This should hopefully be the unofficial handshake we've been hankering after. Android Central believe the Note is now shown as VERY likely to get Jelly Bean from the guys at Samsung and I happen to agree. S Cloud on the Note before it even debuts on the first model to feature it off the shelf? That's hugely encouraging that the Note 2 won't make the Note end of life anywhere near soon.

It's up on Kies. Downloading now. =)

I've downloaded via the check fus. I can confirm that it is LRQ and that all the features mentioned are there.
Finally we get TouchWiz 5. The new gallery app is pretty smoking too!

Never see any new lock screen. Only know it can customize to open camera direct when you swipe (in lockscreen), with a phone in horizontal position.

Is the launcher any different? I was hoping we'd have a launcher similar to the one seen in the GS3/Gnote ICS preview.

Here is the video new features

This feature is already there in MoboPlayer, works with CM ROMS too.

I'm currently using an unlocked United Kingdom Note with the Indian 4.04 Rom that I flashed via Odin (screenshot attached) I'm not rooted. Would I be ok downloading this and flashing via Odin just as I did with the Indian Rom? I assume I'll still get English on the device as the Rom I believe is Italian

Sense Updates in 4.2.2

Lets post up some updates we have found with the Sense 4.2.2 update.
Outside of the primarily known ones like the quick settings here is one great one I noticed.
App: Gallery
Change: Highlights
They revamped the song/style selection for the video highlights as well as added about 5 more. Very very happy with this update as I use this quite often
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4 Beta

I'd like to know if you can link your ps3 controller via a usb-otg kabel after the update, as this was not supported on the 4.1.2 stock rom.

hey, thanks for reporting this, this is very nice! i've a question, in the gallery app, can you try to open an image go to Edit>Effects then press the 3 dot menu button, and see if there's an option to "Edit effect" i wonder if HTC added this after removing it from an older firmware, thanks!

No, you are able to set (for example) bbc on program 3 if its 3 on your receiver/tv.
On 4.1.2 you are not able to customize the order of the programs

They also fixed the select content issue so stuff that you don't want in your zoe is actually not included anymore

There is already a 4.2.2 update thread. Please discuss that there. Having multiple threads makes forum very hard to follow.

Hi and thanks for the amazing ROM and thread!
I've got a problem here:
After my phone boots up, a process called com.android.media shows up in the phone's RAM. It consumes almost 15MB, prevents the device from sleeping and makes the CPU run at 1401GHz all the time. It's draining the battery really fast. Even after I kill it, it starts again. What does this process do? How can I get rid of it?

try use kgsl it alweys give me enoth ram,zram only icreese drain so i didnt use it

Thanks. Disabling ZRam did free some RAM (strangely). But why is my CPU running at 1401GHz all the time?
Another question:
Why doesn't HDR work on stock camera? It FCs when I take a picture. Is it a known bug?
What can I do to increase camera quality? I wish the camera could work as it was on ICS.
Last question:
Why does it take a lot of time to get past the kernel logo on boot? It gets temporarily fixed after booting in recovery, doing nothing and rebooting again. How can I fix it permanently?
By the way, anyone who wants a Sony look on CM should try the Xperia Z theme on Google play. It isn't free but it looks awsome!

Advantages of Firefox OS on Arc S

Dear Arc/S users
Althought we - Arc or Arc S users - use a smart phone that come out only two year ago we can't use our telephone without custom roms, because it is very laggy, and have got lots of bugs notification led etc. with 4.0.4 update. And some users including me have privacy concerns with permission etc.
I want to call attention to advantages Firefox OS on Arc S:
1. First, I saw this video. http://youtu.be/5MzuGWFIfio. In video Firefox Browser that was very laggy on my Arc S with Custom ROM is working awesome without any lag. And the phone in the video has 256 Mb RAM. Think this os how works fast on Arc S.
2. And all Xperia 2011 series except for Arc have a Firefox OS Development Topic. We have a topic too but is not improved yet, and haven't got enought attention. I open this topic for this stuation.
3. Boot in less than 6 seconds even in MDPI devices. (This Xda Topic) (Edit 1: Firefox OS open as fast as 4.0.4 stock dialer. )
4. The small footprint of a browser based operating system means that B2G should significantly extend battery life before re-charging.(This Xda Topic)
5. B2G will be the first mobile OS to use Do Not Track at the operating system level. (This Xda Topic)

Is there a way to do a backup and transfer messages and contacts from android to firefox and return ?

I don't know but I will try this when @n1koola released stabil version.

Sweet thanks, the Social life news is awesome.

...and works with which ROM?
Quick questions:
On which ROM did you try it?
Did you try it on stock/unlocked/rooted version?
Some screenshots?

Firstly it is looking very nice !
Secondly would it be a big request to port the xperia keyboard ? Or anyone did it before for nexus 5 ?
And also it would be nice if you could make separated zips I mean(only walkman+ addition)(only album+movies) something like this.Of course if you have time and mood for it
Thank you for everything ! :victory:

One thing to add that 'His work can be continued and promoted ' because the rules says that we can't do these if the person was banned but instead he left XDA As is own will get found some social problems and to live peacefully he did so.He will always help us through his friends because he still has the zeal to work for android

Just take out the .apk from the .zip and install. It works fine for Walkman, not sure if Album and Movies need specific frameworks/libs to work, I didn't try.
