The Wolfy among us Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Screenshot is possible in ICS without the s pen in ics. Lecture notes is pretty good as a S-Memo replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piper Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Thanks. But for Nova, you need ICS, and for that, you need custom ROMs, which means doing away with most of the S-Pen functionality, which is one of the reasons why I would buy Note. :| Any rumors regarding Sammy releasing the ICS rom for Note on 3rd May (alongwith a demo of the premium S-Pen app suite) ? For GB you get great launchers, ADW EX, Go EX, even Launcher Pro (Plus) are excellent. ICS will be released for the Note eventually, so I say go for it. And S-Pen apps will probably come baked into most custom ROMs else as standalone installable/flashable packages so no worries there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird Bird Bird Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Screenshot is possible in ICS without the s pen in ics. Lecture notes is pretty good as a S-Memo replacement. Well, screenshot is possible in all the OSs without any stylus, but the S-Pen eases the whole process by putting the screenshot in edit mode automatically. From there, you can tweak it to your heart's content. That's where the huge screen & S-Pen combo shines. For GB you get great launchers, ADW EX, Go EX, even Launcher Pro (Plus) are excellent.

Yup, kinda decided on GNote specially with the premium suite coming in. Meanwhile, some doubts: 1) Any of you guys using the S-Choice apps ? Sammy has listed some 8-10 apps on their site which make good use of S-Pen. Any info on that front ? 2) Say I use a 3rd party launcher, is TW still loaded in the memory ? Won't the whole setup consume more battery & RAM ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtheK Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Screenshot (+Edit) S- Quick Memo (while in call) S-Memo (with all brush types etc.) S- Planner S-Choice apps (dunno how many are available though) works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wolfy among us Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Yup tw will still be loaded. Your best bet is to get a custom rom which is plain vanilla. The best out there is ICS stunner. Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can kill tw, and even uninstall it using 3rd party app (provided you are rooted, and I hope it goes without saying that you'll be rooting it day 1).

avkash Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 What i do not get is that if you want to dispel with TW than why do you need a New ROM. Just get a new launcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they'll stop that one coz promo already includes a flip cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asking again Because TW will still be running in the BG, hogging memory/RAM (and using up battery ??) (AFAIK). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtheK Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Why will tw run in background if you are using apex or nova.launcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
