Long press on volume change music:
this one i miss a lot, change music on lock mode not awake the device with a simple long press, bravissimo...
play music is not saving my plylists:
this is an issue more then a miss, every time i turn my phone off the playlists forget the music who is on the external card(in my case all musics)
there is a soft or hardproblem???

Lol, but I believe he is asking for mods and he couldn't just word it right, like volume rocker mod, and for converting the lock button to camera photo shoot button, OP there are mods for volume rocker feature, for photo shoot I don't know but I suppose it's quite possible, you just need to search for mods suitable and made for your version of firmware.
Edit :Most mods are made for deodexed roms though.
Lock button = Power Button
And the Play list loss might be a bug, maybe even related to media scanner issue.

He misses the camera button from his galaxy w, are you kidding me?
Which one is the galaxy w anyway? Does it even have a camera?
And there's this thing called "
Timer", which was created to erradicate old people from the photo snap world.

Gastonw, buddy killing people by making them laugh is still a crime,
anyway this will answer your questions
http://m.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_w_i8150-4114.php
And I think he means that in his custom rom for that device there were mods like, volume rocker, power button as camera button.. Lolololololololol... He just worded it in a confusing way.
Edit :That eradicate old people comment is literally killing me.

first, i was not complaing about your beloved phone, dont take it personaly but if you think i ofend you , better search for a girlfriend or a doctor if you dont like girls, dude...
second, i was talking about MOD yes, sorry i didnt found the word, since english is not my mother language i found myself on the rigth to make this a honest mistake...
A mod that the lock button, when the camera app is open, becaume a shutter
and a mod where the volume buttons, when the phone locked, be a music back/foward...
is that possible on THE MAGNIFICIENT SII???
BTW: i dont worship phones or gods, i sayed in the first post why i changed.

That's the best come back you came up with?
You're like 15, aren't ya?

Hey guys....Don't knock the W....it's the phone i had before I moved to the S2.....it may not seem much on paper...but thanks to the W's main dev @arco68, it can run cm9, cm10 and cm10.1....and run them very well....
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app

Depends on what stock rom you use. In the app section you can fint some mods but are sistem locked (they are different for 4.0.4 , 4.1.2 and their builds lsd, lsn etc.). You need to do a search for your exact rom and version for mod. And try to go for odex because of the stock rom (any mods you install).

Great !!
Looking forward to it !!
Battery please i want to have more battery , really, if you could improve the battery live would be great, and also to put the video recording at 720p. oi think is the most important, the rest could be a kernel that could let me overclock it and change the voltage.
its all
Why would you sell a sgs for a sga ? oO
cooooollll... thats great news..
i wud love to see improved battery life.. infact as per my usage a 16-18hrs battery life wud also make me smile..

I didn't use all it's features and it was a bit too big..
I like the design of the Ace and I believe it's a great phone, just enough for me.
Same here, I also changed SGS to SGA mostly because of size and design
Also I lost the SGS ;P
Great to hear that yet another dev will work on our phone!
Recently people have been asking for 720p camera support. If the lens is capable of 720p, then I suppose it can be unlocked, so before then stop asking for something that isn't possible.

Correct.
Does anyone know if this is even possible? The screen isn't even high res. so how will we be able to record/capture 720p HD photo/video?
Its possable you increase the TouchWiz 4 in ROM?
Flash? If you can get flash to work youll be good!
And 720p recording? Dont think so...

To solve your issue, you can download Widgetlocker from the Android Market.
Requests
Thanks man! Ihave seen your ROM for SGS, only one word can describe it 'AWESOME'!!
Requests:
1.As I have just flashed my the thin that I observed was that a few bloatware still remain, If you could delete that it would be great.
2.The screen unlock takes a bit long to operate, and there is no old TV like animation while switching off the screen.
3.There is no end of the list animation.
4.you can easily replace samsung keyboard with GB keyboard.
5.You can build in apps2sd by drk tremor. (link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1031734)
6.you can also add fugutweaks (link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=981125)
7.Flash support if posssible.
8.AOSP-if it can be ported. or a good villan theme.
9.google music app, if possible
10.Hardware key for taking photo.
11.Notifications using the softbutton led's
12.HD video recording support (may be I am asking for too much... but i think the processor can take it)
Good to hear. All the best muthai fighter

HD recording and Flash are impossible, because of the MSM7227 cpu, but your sold SGS can do them. So a strong recovery that can backup, flash any zip, convert filesystem to ext2/4 is very necessary.

is that a case on it, because if yes it would probably be easier to determine if you took it off and took another picture. if no, i have no clue what phone it is. but it shouldn't be too hard to figure it out yourself by pressing menu then touch settings, then about phone and the info should be in there plain as day.

Twisted answer for a mysterious question!!
Is this some sort of a joke or a test?
A senior member with 183 posts and if anyone sees his statistics finds most of them about the X10 and yet he's asking "what phone is this?"
So,what,you got your hands on a "yet to be released phone" or what?
I hate that much guessing job.
Thumbs up if you think this guy is kidding.
He never said it was his phone? He may have just found that pic on the web and is trying to ID which phone it is.
BTW - Don't think its an EVO. The camera is too high - near the top of the phone.

Ok,dude,just relax.
Ok,here's what we got:
1-Camera in the top middle of the device's back panel.
2-Headset plug in at the top right.
3-Tiny flash hole to the left of the camera.
4-Volume rockers on the left (considering the cover).
5-There's something at the top left,probably power button.
So,I had some free time and I thought I'd go "phone hunting".
After checking pictures and 360 views of all HTC devices (believe me I did check them all) from here: http://www.gsmarena.com/htc-phones-45.php
Possible HTC phones:
1-Thunderbolt 4G (description fits 99%,only thing is the Thunderbolt dual flash,so,two tiny holes): http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_thunderbolt_4g-pictures-3703.php
2-Evo 4G (same as the Thunderbolt,all fits except for dual flash): http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_evo_4g-pictures-3427.php
Considering the height of the camera lens and being almost near the top of the back of the device,I'd say it's a Thunderbolt 4G (check the links).
U know,after this,I think google goggles should include a "phone identification service" or "ID my phone" or something like that.Where the hell did you get that picture from?
Anyways,hit the thanks button if you think I spent more than a full hour trying to get to that petty conclusion of 2 miserable devices.
PS:I checked only HTC phones,but all of them.

U still haven't told me where u got that picture from and I got all sorts of thought swirling around my mind right now.
So,let me let u in on some of them.
U bet a guy that'll know what phone this is by the end of this week,and you laid 10,000 dollars and the bet is.............100 to 1.
So,I get to bust my chumps trying to find out what phone this is, and u get to go home with a million dollars.
How is that for one brilliant thought?
Seriously,all not funny jokes aside,where did u get the picture from?
i think using goggles will provide much help. download it to your phone then take a picture of what you have to get more details for it.

Can't be the Desire.IMPOSSIBLE.
U know why?
Cuz the desire's volume rockers and power button are right on the device's body,while the casing around the phone we have has the power button sticking out and u can actually see it,u can also see the cutout for the volume rockers.
But what's even more important is that the device in the picture has the volume rockers on the right while the desire has them on the left.

o really... never thought about the fact the image can be flipped horizontally? smartass... because the flashlight of the camera is also on the wrong side, so flip the image in like paint or whatever and you'll see the one and only htc desire!

LOL!!
Ok,I'll disregard your ignorance and big mouth and offensive words and I'll tell you why it can't be the desire.
If you see backside pictures of both the desire and the phone we have,you'll notice this:
1-In the desire flash is to the right of the camera lens,and the phone we have has flash to the left of the camera lens.
2-The phone we have is significantly wider than the desire.
3-the desire has the volume rockers on-body,while the phone we have has volume rockers sticking out.
4-IT IS NOT THE DESIRE.Basic logic is used to reach that simple conclusion,but I wouldn't suppose you know what the word "logic" means since you use words like "smartass".
No offense dude, but that's a flipped desire.

Please post the apk, install instructions and what ROM you are running it on.
I does work on the note, you just have to add it to the system/apps folder and paste over the other one that is on the phone. Once you have it in there just tap on it to install it and you are set to go.
The only issue I am having with the app is that the DPI settings seem to be off and the bottom buttons are all on the left side of the screen. Been messing around with the dpi settings but not having a whole lot of luck.

I'm.running stock ics 4.0.3 and its very stable by the way with everything working including chrome beta (which was a big deal for me), was also able do dl NFC apps and Wallet... Another question does all the ICS apps work with the rooted roms? That's like the biggest thing that's keeping me from trying them..

So I downloaded the apk, moved it to system/apps, fixed permissions and installed it, everything went fine. In the beginning it was working pretty good, but now all of a sudden it crashes right after I ask a question. Anything I could do to fix this? Oh yeah it always crashed when I tried to set an alarm which was weird but it always went through apparently cuz I checked the clock app. Was just wondering if this was common for everyone.

Is your ICS update awesome?

Scrolling/swiping speed = normal.
Fixed some apps/games that were buggy when in GB.
Battery lifetime = same as before.

Mine is not :crying:
- Scrolling/Swiping speed = better
- Broke support for embedded flash videos (Flash menues/buttons work...you can test it on southparkstudios.com / southpark.de --> Episodes ). Videos are just black.
- I miss the old universal inbox...
- I miss the old social network app...
- Battery-Life is the same or a bit better with ICS
- Browser is better...
I would love to return to GB...but as we have a locked bootloader (by the way: thanks Motorola ) I can't.

as long as I am running this update http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1755764 the ics is more than awsome....

Everyone needs to complain about the locked bootloader, battery performance, and bloatware they miss!!
I've experienced nothing but awesome from ICS, the phone is better in every way. As a coder the difference between GB and ICS behind the scenes is monumental. I have no idea why anyone would want to revert back to it nor "avoid the OTA".

Yes, the browser is light years faster.
The phone is faster/smoother no lag whatsoever. The apps also launch faster than GB.
ICS is beautiful compared to GB and i have not experienced any compatible issues with games at all. Everything runs fine.
The only thing i miss is flash.
Did anyone miss not being able to launch the camera from the lock screen if you have a PIN set? BTW, I'm on official ICS OTA with no ROMs.
Everything still slower than a Galaxy Nexus.
Ah yeah, the battery is better. That's it.

...because no 2 people use their phones in the exact same way?
Not awesome!!
No flash = definitely NOT AWESOME!! Battery life is worse then on GB also! And I'm referring to people that actually use their phone, I'm tired of seeing those screen shots of people showing 70% after like 21hrs, that's a phone that hasn't been touched all day! My phone is at 40% by 11am, on GB i would get it to last at least till 3 or 4pm.
We have definitely taken 3 steps in the WRONG DIRECTION! Something basic s flash?? Seriously! We're no better than an iPhone now! I'm so pissed!!
Horrible battery!
This was with MODERATE use this morning! Even my old Evo did better than that a year and a half ago. I'm so disappointed in ICS!!

You can download Flash in the Play Store (UK) Still!?!
Yes, my ICS is awesome. I was going to wait for the official ICS but I got tired of waiting so I flashed some Fast Boot files. Pretty glad I did too!:laugh:
Yes love it. Running aosp .214 ICS Custom rom... But angry because tether no longer works. Sucks but I have to have tether. Not sure what to do. Foxfi doesn't work neither does the hack. I give up. Guess Verizon finally found a way to stop it. Maybe thats why it took so long to release. Lol. Overall I love it just not as open and more locked down. Kinda worries me what may come...

How to add apps to multi-task bar

How do we add apps to the Multi-Task bar. I want to add youtube but it is not an option when I hit Edit? I have seen it in several videos. Do we not get it on Verizon?
From what I've seen youtube should be there. Some 3rd party apps may not though. Can anyone that has one already chime in?
From what I have seen in various videos there are several apps missing on my Verizon Note 2's Multi Tasking Dock. In addition to You Tube I have seen Twitter and Chrome, neither are on multi tasking dock and I cannot see how to add them.
I think its drag and drop, try dragging them to the bar.
PS I dont have one yet
I tried dragging but it does not work.

You're probably going to have to wait until your phone is rooted, so that you can flash a mod to enable all apps for multi-task view.

sounds like verizon went and neutered the damn phone, between this and removing blocking mode.
I have the international note 2 and it requires either modifying the framework, or a app that has been written. I'm sure the app can be ported once someone gets root.

Are you saying you are missing these apps also?
I have to say this is a little disappointing. I love the phone but the 2 apps I wanted for split screen were Twitter and You-tube and neither are not working on the Verizon Note 2
I had the note 2 for sprint and I just got the Verizon one today and they definitely neutured this one. I didn't need root to have these apps on the multi bar. They also r emoved the S-planner. Wtf?

When I click the edit button, the whole screen is taken up and says drop here, drop what? I have no ****ing choices. **** this site. I pay 700 for a phone then im told...root it. **** you

No **** you! Why don't you take ten seconds and Google an answer instead of asking to be spoon fed! If you looked there are edits you can do to the apps and apps people have already edited for lazy people like you.
Also the people here are not Samsung or Google. So how is it our fault you can't watch you tube while watching you porn and beating it at the same time (since I'm sure you're a Virgin)?
As for the drag and drop. Use some common sense. There is a bar on the side with apps, hold one and drag and drop it in the open space that SAYS DRAG AND DROP HERE!
Jezz the sense of entitlement on this forum is sickening. I don't care of you dropped a million on the phone no one here gets paid and this is a development Site that is going to suggest root and ROM. By the way for Christ sack try using some form of punctuation, what are you 10?
By the way sorry to the mods and people who respect the work out in here, but attitudes like this d bag piss me off so bad and it seems to be a growing problem around the note2 forum.

If you read your phones manual, researched, watched YouTube videos of how the feature works you would know how to use your phone at the most basic level. You come to this site to get information beyond what is in the manual.
The reason you get answers of "root" is because many things you want to do beyond the stock software requires it. If you don't want to root then enjoy your phone exactly the way it came out of the box. You have made a decision not to root. Don't get mad when people explain rooting is required for the fix.
And as mentioned above this is a feature that can be fixed by editing apps and installing modified apps without the need for root. But guess what. You need to do some work and decompile and recompile apps.

I was in your position a few days ago, decided to root so I could get Sixaxis then took the plunge so I could get all the toogles and every app in multi window (ie the full Note 2 experience). All I can say is that I am not disappointed
It really is pretty easy if you follow directions
