I think there are even more new small features that I didn't put in list. It’s understandable that samsung didn't put those S-Pen features in our S3 however it’s actually still can be done for some of them. But S3 hardware is able to support the other features and Samsung should have put them in official JB ROM to further enhance our experience. Do you think they will ever come to S3 officially?
The new gallery and camera with the slow and fast motions are available, smart rotation and popup browser got ported as well. And paper artist can be installed with no problems.
Do your research before posting.

Well the Note 2 was only released a few months after the S3 so you would expect these extra features , there's nothing really "revolutionary" that the Note 2 has that the S3 doesn't,i quite like the gallery in the Note 2 there was a flashable zip doing the rounds but no matter how many times i tried i couldn't get it tio work yet it was working fine when i flashed Dragon ROM (or was it Android Revolution) which had it included already.

ya true ...we already have
1. new gallery
2. new camera
3. smart rotation
all ported..
only thing left is multi view
The note 2 gallery´s that i found all have one bug, when set wallpaper from tw give fc
Anyone have a gallery that works 100%?
As soon as I get my device I'm flashing Siyah, then will probably stick to stock, Flash new Camera and gallery and some other Note II stuff.
Either way Phones4u have both phones on display side by side and the Note II has the advantage with software, I just hope Samsung don't be stuck up and decide to bring most of the features to the S3.
If it is about other Samsung devices, and its capabilities which I'd like to have onboard my S3, I would mention 8GB RAM, 1GB Nvidia graphic, and 750GB HDD which I have on my Samsung laptop. It has simcard slot, so can be used as the phone, either.
Guys, RLY? While I can understand that someone would compare 9305 with 9300 because both are phones, calling for Note 2 seems a bit strange...
ups - almost forget to ask that someone should port 5x50W audio output from my Samsung Home Cinema system :laugh:

Don't confused between hardware and software. Software is flexible while hardware is not. I said no point having s-pen features in s3 but not the other.

So the note 2 has the same camera assembly as s3? if it is, that is a bummer.
That is what is nice of Android. Everything ported. Devs are awesome!

Underlined are what ported already. Bolded are what not ported yet. I think what most of us really want from Note 2 is Multi Window. We could care less about S Pen stuffs. I know you're talking about Samsung themselves giving it to us (instead of ports from amazing devs), but don't you remember the old days when Samsung refused to give ICS update to Galaxy S I9000? At the end of that device's life span, Samsung pushed an update giving many Galaxy S2 features like Touchwiz 4.0 including a few others. So, my money is on Samsung giving those features to S3 users. But the real question is when.

For the camera, if I'm not wrong only 1/3 of features is ported. Wasn't S3 too early to get value pack treatment? There should be one more android update. I understand what you mean, we might only get them when near eol.

People keep saying Smart Rotation is ported, but I can't find it anywhere. Any links please? That seems to be the only useful feature Samsung implemented since Galaxy S1.

Why not use this thread as a count of how many features have been ported and which are not.
Add things like Gallery, Camera, Popup Browser etc with a strike-through on them.
To show that those have been ported, and which have not been.
Cheers.

ARE THESE FEATURE WORTH BUYING OR JUST SAMSUNG GIMMICKS WHICH WE CAN GET SOME TIME LATER ON NOTE 2 ?WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK ABOUT IT ?
Air Gestures: Refers to hand movements made above the phone's display, without coming into contact with the display, that controls the phone. Common gestures include waving your hand over the display to skip a track or waving left and right to switch between open web pages in the browser. These gestures only work with specific Samsung apps.
Air View: Like the stylus on the Galaxy Note 2, you can hover over the display with your finger to view information about certain pieces of content. For example, hovering your finger over an email shows you a longer preview without opening the message; hovering your finger over a date on the calendar shows you a quick view of what to expect on that day.
Drama Shot: Camera feature that shoots 12 photos at once and shows you a time-lapse of all the action in those photos combined into one picture.
Dual Camera: Activates both the rear camera and the front camera, so that the photographer can superimpose himself or herself into the subject of the photo. Samsung gave as an example someone watching football superimposing himself or herself into the game.
Dual Video Call: While video-chatting with someone, you can show them both your face and the view from your rear camera while you chat.
Group Play: Allows multiple Galaxy S4 owners in close proximity to join a private network in which they can, among other things, play a game.
S Health: New app that acts as a fitness tracker and food diary. The Galaxy S4 has a built-in pedometer to count your steps, and you can take photos of your meals each day to keep count of your calories and eating habits. Samsung will also sell a fitness bracelet, a digital scale and fitness belt to measure blood pressure, pulse, glucose levels and weight for those interested.
S Translator: An app in which you can input any of 10 languages and receive a translation, either spoken or in text. Also works to translate text on your email, text messages and a few other Samsung apps.
S Voice Drive: New hands-free function for drivers that allows the driver to operate the phone with his or her voice.
Samsung Adapt Display: The Galaxy S4 "learns" what you are viewing and adjusts the display's brightness accordingly. If the phone senses you are reading an article, for example, it will illuminate from a more muted brightness.
Samsung Adapt Sound: Similar to Adapt Display, your audio can adapt to the content you're listening to (video, music, etc.) and optimize itself to that content.
Samsung Optical Reader: Camera feature that can snap a photo of a business card and import that information into a new contact in your phonebook. Was not working as of demo time, but Samsung reps assured me it would be fixed by the time it shipped to consumers.
Samsung Smart Pause: When watching a video, the front camera can sense when your eyes move away from the screen and pause the video automatically if you aren't looking.
Samsung Smart Scroll: When you are reading an email or article on the web, you can scroll up and down by tilting the device up and down rather than swiping with your finger.
Samsung WatchON: A built-in IR sensor lets you control your television set with your smartphone. Comes with a standard remote and a program guide depending on your cable provider. Can also control certain cable boxes and DVD players.
Share Music: When linked with Group Play, multiple Galaxy S4s can work as surround sound speakers, all playing the same song at once.
Sound & Shot: Allows you to record up to nine seconds of audio at the time of taking each photo.
Story Album: Templates that allow you to create a digital photo journal or scrapbook from a certain event. You can also then order and print out that story album for a fee.
Omg this is exciting I am buying one for sure is there any image of the actual device ??

Agreed, the actual hardware of the s4 isn't that Much better than the Note 2. For my uses the Note 2 is already fast as **** and with plenty 0t battery life. It strikes me that most of the desirable functions of the s4 are software based, and even then I don't think they are exciting enough to make me want to give up the s-pen. It's just too damn handy to be able to use your phone just like a pen & notepad.

well said i agree with you :good: i dont think the there is much that i can go crazy leaving my note 2 behind ,
But i suspect the Drama feature will no be ported on note 2 as it may require Octa processing speed what says guys ?
Crap. I just got my Note II and have only recently thought of playing around with it, trying out a ROM or two.
This will never end!

Wait, i'm not so expert, but i read about the Octa that works like two separeted Quad. So the point is that S4 is not 2x much powerful, but only for the Ghz of his best Quad... Maybe I'm wrong, but I suppose that will be no problem for the feature that are not requesting the IR sensor or the umidity sensor or something similar.
This air gesture is a pretty old feature which I was using on my old Nokia, it was a 3rd party application that used the front camera to detect the motion of your hands over the screen and swipe photos or pages. Nothing new and certainly not a samsung innovation. Really disappointed as I find it too hyped up.

Yeah that sounds likely :-\
Btw... Am I the only one who is disappointet by the lack of HDR video?
patience guys......most of the software features on s4 are going to come to the note2..(as confirmed by the top guns at samsung)....but need to wait for the updates..4.2.2
At the first impulse, I wouldn't mind selling my Note 2 and getting an S4, mostly because I think I wouldn't miss the extra screen size (0.5" now) and I would like the decrease in chassis size/weight. Also I'd really like to have an IR emitter to be able to control the TV and other devices.
The other features are mostly software, not a big step up from what I have in the N2.
However, I think I would miss the SPen - I got really used to it and don't consider it a useless gadget anymore. It is great. Extra precision compared to any fingers and a screen that is always clean and shiny.
Plus I finally stopped thinking about battery and plugging in and charging. With the S2 I got an extended huge 2700mAh battery and even that could not compare to the Note2's battery. I now use the device fully from when I get up at 0730 till 1am and when I go to sleep it is usually still around 55% battery. I don't want to go back to a puny battery...
Note 3 will have same spec like S4 with more big screen, battery n S pen..thats for sure if following its history..

Flagship Phones from Galaxy series (S 3, Note 2) to get new software features
In an interview with PC Mag, Samsung VP of Portfolio Planning, Nick DiCarlo revealed that most of software features found on the Galaxy S4 will make their way to the Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note 2 via firmware updates.
Features like the S Translator, S Health, the new S Voice Drive and basically any new software that you can find in Samsung’s Galaxy S4 and isn’t dependent on the new hardware and sensors should be available to the rest of the company’s high-end devices soon.
Whoa this just blasts iphone 5 away. It looks like apple will have to keep up with their 5s.

The s4 would be good for those who have note1 and s3 below (or made the mistake of buying an iPhone 5).
The more i look at it i think it's a Note 2 mini on steroids.
Oh snap! I don't have a witty tapatalk signature!
I love my note 2 but I'm going to change my wife s3 to s4 which looks better in my opinion. I'll wait for note 3. I hope that size will stay pretty same just screen will be stretched like3 on s4 form 5.5 to max 6!

Hello, I found a secret Display Mode hidden in a system setting. This Display Mode offers the best of 'Adaptative Display' (a not yellowish screen) and the best of modes like Amoled Photo or Basic (a not saturated screen).
Here is the main thread about this Display Mode, where you can find many tutorials and Screenshots:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3101547
---------
As for now this Display Mode seems be hidden on Lollipop Touchwiz based roms, so it works on:
- Note 4 (Lollipop)
- Note 3 (Lollipop)
- Galaxy S6
Therefore it should work on the Lollipop version of these devices too:
- Note 4 EDGE
- Galaxy S5
- Galaxy S4 (not working on kitkat)
- Galaxy A3
- Galaxy ALPHA
- Galaxy Core Prime
- Galaxy Tab A
- Galaxy Tab 4
- Galaxy Note PRO 12.2 LTE
- Galaxy Tab S 8.4
- Galaxy Tab 10.5
Please if anyone can confirm it works on the above devices I would appreciate.

I'm sorry, I didn't know.
But anyway I'm the original finder of this setting, as you can see on the main thread.
While the OP here is credited with the mod, the discussion here on the topic has been going a bit longer. It seems to make more sense to have questions/comments/discussions centered in one place for S6 users, and as there isn't much in this thread yet it seems better to close this one to obtain that centralizing goal. Please use the other thread for your posting needs
Thanks!

Hi guys! I've searched a lot and I couldn't find anything about the "edge" customization.
I've seen there is a lot of apps/feeds/panels for galaxy note edge and s6 edge, but not for our s7e.
I am a biologist not a developer, not even a programmer. But I would like to know if there is a way to port those note edge or s6 apps te the s7e 935f.
For example, the edge clock & weather of the s6e.
Also, I would like to know if it could be possible to customize AOD display to stay on the edge or to customize night clock
To move like AOD to slow down burn-in.
I feel the edge screen and AOD capability have a lot of potential and I see no interest in these forums which has taken me for surprise, since you are always creative and develop cool features
Thanks guys!
Nico
Hello,
There are some apps, but very few, and most of them are paid. I was also wondering why this gets such little attention, I also think that AOD and even nigth clock have GREAT opportunities, but nobody seems to be interested.
I know that we will get the updated AOD with the Nougat firmware, that it nice, but nothing new for the night clock. Also no interesting Edge feeds and Edge panels to download. Even in the app store there is nothing significant for us.
I thought that maybe modders will make some cool stuff, but here on XDA it is also a dead topic....
I think the issue is more the amount of Time to put into developing a app thats only specific to two model types:
S6 edge and S7 edge.
While if you develop a standard app, your open to the whole market.
I think the time in developing and upkeep might not justify the attention and downloads on such a specific device.
I know people who have developed apps for the Note series using the Spen
That had a wider market or 3/4 device series and still his sales where not as much as he would of expected.
This week I decided to let go of Galaxy S8.
I've been a fan of Android devices since gingerbread days.
1. My first android phone, the Galaxy Y DUOS,
2. Galaxy S3
3. Galaxy S6 (Snapdragon)
4. One Plus 3
5. Galaxy TAB S2
6. Galaxy S8's (Exynos and SnapDragon variant)
I have decided to not continue - use android anymore due to performance, it's been of a "stagnant" years of android to keep up to my preferred "power" standard when it comes to phone performance.
My last 2 phones, both SD and Exynos variant of S8 fails to keep up with me , even with custom kernel.
I feel like this phone fails to deliver what it promised - and we opt to modify something just to get the better of it - total let down of me,
Im not saying that not all of them are bad, it's just I prefer to have a decent looking phone- decent camera (sorry OnePlus doesn't have this much) - and top of the class hardware performance.
This week, I got iPhone for the first time, and it was XS. Superb performance - camera - but kinda missing the customability but i can live with it.
Thanks XDA and I have learned so much about phone stuff, kernel development, android framework, and even learned creating android applications as well.
This is one of the great experience i have when it comes to learning and giving help - opinions as well.
God bless and more power to XDA!
