Also trie "Pie Control Pro" from the Play Store (better on rooted devices).

The Note 1 will get 4.2.2 as a last update, says Sammobile:

I thought the 4.1.2 will be the last update for the Note.
Hope that custom roms will reach more than 4.2.2 for our beloved Note!

Re: Samsung Galaxy Note
 

Wow, hopefully it will iron out some bugs that are out there.

Honestly, there's not any incentive for me to upgrade. The SoC is about equal performance and suffices me (equal performance cause bottleneck by software).

The screen's pretty great. High ppi density means seeing the PenTile pattern is reduced. I've found 720p is great for YouTube videos.

Really the only thing to be jealous is that the NOTE2 is "newer", has a better (wider) S Pen, and that NOTIFICATION light.

Re: Samsung Galaxy Note
 

Great news. The Original Note is so nice so you buy it twice. I was thinking of upgrade to Note lll but leaning more towards Note 4 now. While waiting for note 4 I might pick up a tizen device if its high end enough and with a huge screen...

Note three might get metal...http://www.sammobile.com/2013/04/13/...-a-new-design/

Re: Samsung Galaxy Note
 

I still have both (Note 1 went to wife), and must say that Note 2 is definitely snappier, and has significantly longer battery life.

Re: Samsung Galaxy Note
 

The note got a new update yesterday, if someone missed that...Just a heads up all note owners :D

Re: Samsung Galaxy Note
 

For those who use the Perseus kernel, I strongly advice to stick to version 33.4, because more recent versions have problems of lagging, at least on my own device.

Re: Samsung Galaxy Note
 

Hmmm, honestly I haven't upgraded because I'm quite satisfied with my current setup.

Villain ROM
- Samsung TouchWizz base (Camera works properly and MOD'ed Multi-Window)
- AOKP customization features
- Some innovations from Samsung (the Phone/Contacts, and SMS are good, the browser's not half bad)
- Still using Apex PRO, and no custom lockscreen (I've got a pw)

...there's some lag at times (not scrolling or swiping, just when tapping to open certain things), but nothing unbearable

Re: Samsung Galaxy Note
 

Great News. Possible to announcment of Galaxy Note lll the 20th of june in London.

Re: Samsung Galaxy Note
 

Been trying nova launcher prime over the last few weeks, and it's a definite keeper. Nice to be able get rid of the notification bar and dock icons and have a clean desktop. It does seem quicker and you can easily switch back to touchwiz if need be. Unfortunately you still get the rotation issue when it stops rotating and a reboot sorts it, but thats down to firmware I believe.
