I have had my note for awhile now flashed tons of ROMs experimented with tablet mode and frankly I'm bored. I'm looking for some tweaks to try out or just something to "wow" me and others. Can anyone push me in the right direction.

As much as it pains me to say it give the paranoid Android rom a try...can customize it more then a ...well use your imagination ... that is if your phone was 1 of the lucky few meant to run it...some of us were informed that not all Gnote's are made equal...happy flashing

That what I'm on now. Thanks for the suggestion.

I was just super hyped about android and the customization after coming iOS. Haven't found anything that I can say this why my note is better except a bigger screen.

Flash is gone with jelly bean.

I'm fighting the urge to switch back.

I personally could not make the switch back, so far this is this most control I've had over a phone. I'm doubtful you'll find any of the "wow" factor back on the iPhone.

Currently running CM10-Kang by ManelScout4Life and totally digging it.

But, to each their own my friend :).

iOS:
no tabbed browsing.
Locked down app store.
No external SD card
No nfc
Tiny 3.5 inch screen
No overclocking
No debloating
No tethering
No Widgets
No customization
Same tired GUI from 5 years ago
Made by a company who actively tries to stop you from having any of these things.

Yep, its a tough choice whether to go back to the iFail or not.

I understand there's no love for ios here, but help me drink the kool-aid.

I don't understand what you mean by wow you? What exactly wows you? What tweaks do you want aside from being able to change the way the screen completely looks indefinitely?

I think the newness of devices gives it the wow factor more than anything. I'm pretty sure that if you went to another phone, you'd be looking for wow factor again.

For me, I really enjoy being able to control my laptop from my note while the laptop is hooked up to a projector and doing class presentations for my students. That usually gets a "wow. That's really cool you can do that"

No offense but if you can't find more customization or fun to do with a note in comparison with iPhone you aren't doing ANYTHING right bud... but checkout my thread it will give you tons of apps, clocks, widgets, wallpapers, etc to customize and pimp your phone

P.s. not trying to come off rude I just hate iOS and what apple stands for...they are rude to their customers imho in the sense they are apple and could give SO SO much more but somehow Pantech has droids with better hardware and features...No excuse for that

I wouldn't waste my time helping him. He obviously wants ios. Let him have it. I personally will never go back to apple. No fun with that phone at all. I had the 3g and bought the 4 and I felt I had the same exact phone. Nothing changes same old interface. How can that be exciting?

I'm not questioning the benefits of android all I'm was just asking for someone to drop some wisdom.(which you were so kind to do)
I love the Google TV which convinced me to get the note.

I don't know if there's just a slow down in development or if this is the way it always is.

Slow down in development? The development thread is packed full of ROMs and whatnot. The developers are constantly updating their stuff. Really unless you're specific about what you're looking for, then it's hard to help with vague.

Float apps available in market
Pro tube... don't know what that is
theme browser... try dolphin browser or cm9/10 themes that will theme it for you
Jkay have their own thread look for it there
Also carbon tweaks are good, also found in their personal thread


Look look and look
Most 'wow' stuff comes from apps and not the ROM its self ...

Flash something new. You'll never know until you check other things out PA CM9/10 & AOKP all bring something different to the table. I even go stock with my note every so often just to justify s pen.

Android is about your own personalization. Do your self a favor and find your own "wow". If it doesn't work out, you can always go back to to iOS. Android is not for everyone. Can't make everyone a believer.

    A suggestion for you...
    Have you considered expanding your own knowledge of android ?
    By this I mean, grab a linux box and do some coding/compiling?
    By far, my greatest times on android are busting open the bits and pieces of the OS, and tweaking something cool.
    Then booting up to see the changes.

    I am no developer, but I really enjoy the challenge of trying something for myself.

    I learn more every day, and the interest never dies. For example, I am working on low speed dual core operations with forced core activation, and I am including a
    Potential modulating governor script to go with it.

    It may never work, but it sure is fun to try..

    The "wow" factor wont die, unless you kill it.

    Expand your mind, then try, try, try.......g

    The "wow" for me after the initial "new toy" phase is this site, really. I've started getting really excited when I see new ROMs coming out, updates to existing ones, developers taking their own personal time to benefit ALL of us...that's pretty "wow" to me. Every time there is a new/updated ROM I feel like a kid at xmas unwrapping a new present.
