Yes they are but are awesome on the Note 2!

Cool thanks for the heads up. The special version of Flipboard with S Pen functionality is kick ass.
Downloading the Awesome Note HD now... but it looks, well, awesome!

Tried to install awesome note and said problems parsing package any one have any ideas

Installed fine here

how is awesome note?

Little bit of a learning curve but so far it's pretty damn cool. Took me forever to figure out how to take a picture. Landscape mode is generally best. Otherwise things can be quite small. I'll need more time with it though because there is a lot going on in this app.

I have tried 3 times over wifi and with wifi off I give up

App is robust.
There are however barely any options making this almost not usable for me. Unless I'm missing something completely? Tasks don't show up when I create them until the date they are due.

What apps are you using to take advantage of the spen?

I have had my note for about a month and been running beans Rom.I haven't really been using the spen much but was curious what apps people had been using to take advantage of the spen functionality?

Any internet website that has the 'hover with mouse' stuff to show extra options. Taking notes in school, sending screenshots to friends.

I'm running Beans also and I use the pen for handwriting notes and hovering over videos I made to see the previews. I think that's hella cool especially when I have iphone users watching me. Cutting and pasting anything from the internet or outlining pictures and pasting those to my scrap book. I love how the notepad pops out when I pull the pen out to jot a quick note. And I LOVE just pulling it out to let everyone in the room know to watch out, here comes my light saber. (Modded the saber sound)

I've mainly used it for marking up screenshots. I like it for gesture keyboards. I always think I need to put forth more effort to use it since I know it's useful!
Drawing has been a childhood hobby that lasted until a few years after college. Since I've gotten my note 2 I started using sketch book mobile and started drawing again. A Lil rusty and the small form factor for artwork takes some getting used to. I'm really enjoying it.

I like using it for writing to text and navigating. Check out the apps GMD S Pen Control and Button Savoir, great for navigating and creating shortcuts with the pen.

I have pulled mine out to show off the phone a few times, that's it. I never use it.

HTC Infobar

So I just randomly came across this on flipboard, I found the UI to be intriguing!!
Part of me isn't sure if the DNA would be able to run the software very well, at least not without a lot of work, and I have no coding experience. I, however, think it would be awesome to run this on the DNA. If there are any Devs out there that would be able to get ahold of the software and would be able to attempt cooking this for the DNA I would be very happy and excited to run this UI.
Here is a video of the UI:

Yeah, it is definitely Windows-espue on the middle screen, but more advanced (I can see how some might find it slightly cluttered, I like it though). The right screen seems very much like the Android UI, just flipped at 90° (vertical page scrolling vs. horizontal). I would be fine without the left sceen; I guess it would make finding certain things a little easier though.
I just wish/hope some of the awesome devs in the DNA community would be able to get ahold of this and make some magic!

I like it does remind me of windows 8 but 10 times better I would like to see it up close and personal

Posted from my Verizon Employee Edition DROID DNA #01749.
I find the warping animations a bit ugly, and have never been a fan of HTC's UI design in general. I would definitely prefer Windows Phone.
its not exactly HTC its more like a custom rom for a custom device....its KDDI Japan's custom UI (heavily modified sense rom), running on their device

I'm sure I work play around with it, but don't use Facebook enough to make it my launcher. Not sure why y'all are bashing it, everyone that had reviewed it says that it works well and is very polished. It's just not for the tech crowd

If it works very well/very polished, don't see why you'd say that then. I don't know anyone who doesn't use fb, techies included.
If XDA made a launcher, I wouldn't use it most likely either unless it had more options than the current launchers on the market. I sure as hell wouldn't go around saying this launcher is just for the techies though.
I don't see the harm in trying it out. I backed the Chameleon launcher and used it for awhile on my nexus 7. Then I tried it for awhile on my N2 when it came available. I'm not currently using it on either, but I don't see any harm in trying it out.

I agree. At least take a look and see what the competition is up to!
Most of you are replying about the launcher, where as I see his question is : "Anyone going to get the home?" meaning the phone itself.
To my answer.. No.
Actually, the phone is the HTC First which comes with Facebook Home pre-installed. I will not get the phone, but will try FB Home.

The Best Note 2 Wallpaper Site EVER!!!!

Ladies and gentlemen, I have heard all over the forums that there are no good Wallpaper Apps or sites for our phone. Well I came across this site and thought I would share it here.
http://www.mygalaxynotewallpaper.com/m/index.php
This site is AMAZING!! The wallpapers look amazing on our device. I personally have tried like 4 or 5 different ones and they always look great. No pixelating, stretching or distorting of any kind. The website appears to have 1000's available, and they are catagorized very nicely. And the best thing is that every wallpaper you see on that site is specifically for OUR phone.
So go check it out!!
I should also add that they do seem to update there selection regularly.
Nice Score Bro. Thanks for sharing.
Some good stuff in there.

No problem. I agree about zedge. Plus they dont set for both lockscreen and homescreen. And a lot of them do pixelate.

All you have to do is tap and hold the image. Then you will get a menu has shown in my screen shot that gives you the option ti either save it or set it as a wallpaper.

Vzw g2 and Sony smart watch2

I just picked one up today at best buy today to scratch the itch that I've had for a while now. Idk if many like the idea but I'll give my initial impressions.
First off pro and con
* the band it comes with. Reason being is the one I got(which surprised me since I thought it would come with the rubber one) is metal and no one could get the links out. I am the definition of a skinny person. I had to buy the tool which arrives tomorrow.
Pros
* I like the screen size and being touch. (I was debating between the pebble also) looks good enough to satisfy.
* the notifications work better than I thought. The vibration when you get a text fb or any sort of notification is nice since I rarely feel it in my pocket.
*can control the play music app through the watch so I don't have to mess with the phone wile driving
Con's
* Facebook extension if you just choose the ppl you want it to show up doesn't seam to stay logged in.
*still skeptical since I was on the fence about getting one. Maybe a few days with it I'll start to enjoy it.
If you have questions I'll try to answer them for you

So this is a smart watch that works with other phones not just Sony. Was just gonna start researching this. Love the galaxy gear but didn't want the note 3. So I got G2. Are there other manufacturers doing this.

Yes this one work with all androids. I like the fact that I don't have to go to my pocket to check to see about a message. I don't always feel it when it vibrates since I don't like the sound. Its really easy to see it sun light just not in the dark with out turning on the back light

Letting y'all know I'll be returning the smart watch just the few days I've had it the watches battery got better but my phones battery dropped from 5 hours of screen on to 1-1/12 hrs. I'm not around a charger that often. I can't have it die on me that quick. I loved it just thought it would help battery life since I wouldn't be turning the screen on that often
