Hi..
I am going to jot down points of change noticed in my Galaxy Note after ICS update.
1. Gallery
Much much faster than earlier.
Used QuickPic earlier but now no need
2. Browser
Amazingly fast loading over 3G / Wifi..
Roughly 10 times faster processing.
New neater look.
3.Contacts
Upper 5 icons are only four. Phone/Groups/Contacts/Favourites. The logs feature used to be there is gone now
4. Gmail
Amazing appearance.
Downloading attachment shows % downloaded. Very good.
30 days sync instead of custom.
Swipe to see next or previous emails.
5. Snote S memo Splanner
Everybody knows the new features
6. Task manager
Thumbnail view of recent tasks plus sliding close of the same.
7. Notification bar
6 icons now: Power saver profile added.
Individual notifications can be closed by sliding.
8. SETTINGS: SOOO MANY MAJOR CHANGES
Wifi Bluetooth can be on off using sliders.
Data usage can be controlled per month or similarly.
Bluetooth internet tethering.
Display battery percentage remaining.
Face unlock.
9. MISC
Youtube: Better interface
Applications can be disabled individually without rooting.
This will be updated regularly.
Any more additions are welcome.
You can show your current battery percentage on the upper notification bar beside the clock. For those who dont know how, check settings > display > show battery percentage.
Its a good feature compared in gingerbread as we have to use another app to show the percentage

wow,nice post!
as far as i have seen it with the new task manager (or more the screen you get when you hold the home button) is that you not only see applications that are open but also applications that are closed but were recently used.
Sliding them just removes them from the quick list as there isn't anything to close
i know you kinda wrote that too, i just wanted to clarify it for the people that might have misunderstood you with that
@boe2hoets: wow cool,didn't know that, thanks!

How are the on screen navigation buttons? (Home, search, back, menu buttons)
Do they work well? Are they too small to input?
no ,this ICS version is made specially for phones with hardware buttons, so you don't have the screen buttons like with the nexus
I have no premium suite
One question.
How come I didn't get premium suite on my Gnote?
I read in some of the forum that some didn't get the premium suite and sadly that include me.
Is there any other way to get premium suite....officialy?
I use official firmwere for my dearest Gnote and never root it.
Some say I need to hardreset my Gnote....is this true?

The premium suite is just the s note and other ics features. Thats all.

Samsung made a really nice changes document for sg2, all I could find is this manual. Anyone else found something like this?

But if you have any saved certificates (VPN logins, for example), you will have to clear them before you can enable Face Lock. After that you can re-enter them and it'll still work.

There are some kernal bug triggered after system factory restore. The effect is your sd card wouldn't be detect. In serious case it will brick your phone.

does anyone notice or met the problem of the stock dialer open is way toooo slower than GB?
Does anyone know an app that gives the samsung like drop down menu luminosity slider with a auto option and 3G wifi switches ?
I know switchpro widget that goes in the notification drawer eventually but it lacks the luminosity slider.
Thanks for any help !

Thanks a lot. This app is nice.
But is there any app that only remains in the notification drawer with a slider ?
I'm sorry I cant find much, but this seems OK, but no slider

Thank you for your help, I've searched a lot too and can't find any notification embed slider
I found the widget app called : https://play.google.com/store/apps/...medium=appbrain_web&utm_campaign=appbrain_web
Which does have sliders for luminosity and volume but I can't find one single app that replicated the samsung slider with both automatic luminosity offset and absolute luminosity % slider !
If one dev manages to code this I bet he can start selling it at least 5 dollars ahah.
This one is NOT BAD AT ALL too because you can add APPS and other options like flashlight into the bar, I think I'm going to use that one for now : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.notificationToggle&feature=search_result

Power Toggles has a brihtness toggle that once tapped shows a brightness slider.
I had read that having the root there was a way to make invisible buttons mangiaschermo ... My problem is for gaming, although I do not use the phone to play every now and then maybe play some games or do I try a few friends it seems really ridiculous to see those buttons that display even eat because it's not that reduce the resolution but cover their a part of the display ... For example, if there is a small detail to the right of the screen will be covered by the keys and you will not see;
Solution?? thanks
P.s Sorry for english but I use google translate to hurry!
wrong section. should be in Q&A
GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys
you can get it directly on the Google Play Store
obviously you have to root your smartphone
There are several ways. I use cm10 which has expanded desktop option. Exposed framework can be used or edit build prop. Check the link

The best of the best "GMD GESTURE CONTROL " Is wonderfull, guys
use FullScreen Toggle and LMT, be sure your phone is rooted
First instal LMT Launcher (free) and then go to system/build.prop open and add qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 save and reboot. I used it all the time since premiere.
Has anyone had this happen. Before you say it ... yes I went to menu and check the box. It's gone ..please help before I take it back

Go to settings - notification panel and check if brightness adjustment is check.
Swiping from dark side of Galaxy S5.
screenshots of the settings etc would go a long way
I had to hard reset the phone

I fixed this using Night Mode from Play apps
This happened to me. I read on another forum that someone fixed this by installing "Night Mode" from Google Play apps and toggling the app to be ON, then toggling it to be OFF. I did this, and immediately my auto brightness slider and toggle box were back in the notifications panel.
Hope this helps anyone else searching for a fix for this problem.

I would like to edit the apks and stop this brightness dim. Any guides??
As the title suggests, the soft touch keys can be annoying sometimes, especially while playing games they use the screen and tapping them by mistake is very often. So, my request to the developer community is that can you make a mod/kernel so that games can use the full screen and the soft touch keys hide automatically like in some games they do.
(I'm not sure whether it was right to make a whole new thread about a not so major problem. If it is not appropriate, please inform me)

2 words : Immersive mode
You can Google to learn what it is and how to force an app to run in immersive mode...
And that's the easiest way instead of making a new kernel /rom and what not
It's easy to download gmd full screen immersive mode app on play store and it's free or if you can afford you also can buy gems auto hide soft keys
I have tried the app before. It's quite good. But we need to manually set it everytime before use, anyways thanks for replying.

It's got per app configuration so if you set it once and u can use that app in full screen mode
I can't see the option......

I don't use it but it's written in app description look in play store
Maybe Im using an outdated version.........will update and check it out.....
Also, the GMD app is filled with bugs like not responding, wallpaper changes on its own..not a good app....
