thanks and yeah i went a little overboard with descriptions lol
May I suggest you keep a list of talking points off camera for reference (maybe rehearse it a couple times before recording?)... To avoid all the "uuuhhhss" and "uuuummmms" it would make the videos shorter and make you sound much, much, more professional.
Flash a new rom.
Bam! Didn't even need a video for that!

true true, ill keep that in mind
i had no idea what you were going to be talking about. start with that.
today im going to talk about... this this and this. now lets start with this....
and nothing you did makes anything "hd" there is nothing worse than making information that uses words incorrectly. it takes HD video, always has, and thats it.
besides that, i like that you are out here to help
Damn, I think I'm going to have to watch this thing. Right after "But I'm a cheerleader" lol

continuum 5 eh? I really wanna get into gingerbread. my damn exams are taking too much of my time. but sooooon
and @Trussello
By changing the density like I did, it gives the illusion of an HD screen with a superAMOLED display which isnt even coming out with the S II :S.
I believe that this is far superior to the atrix's screen and it is in essence turning your captivate 'HD'
I think the title is justifiable.
Thanks for your feedback it is much appreciated and im learning a lot
Good job but be more prepared next time.

I downgraded. The KB lag was ANNOYING. No matter what KB or rom I used, KB lag and autoincorrect was horrid.

I see, thanks for the heads up. I'm probably gonna try it out for myself though. My exams end in 5 days so by then there might be a more stable kernal/rom
Tried it and its actually pretty good IMO but it was updated several times

What kind of a calender widget are you using?
It's great that you're doing this for the community Here's some hopefully constructive feedback:
Try to be more to the point. I was curious to learn some stuff, but i found myself getting bored and impatient, which is a shame. You basically spent 4-5 minutes on unlocking the screen with WidgetLocker, without really explaining what WidgetLocker really is, and on ADW EX, but only showing the setting for the number of desktop columns and rows. There are lots of neat things about both these apps, yet i didn't get to see any of it
Keep in mind who your audience is. For the people who are not familiar with the apps you're showing, you want to make sure you explain things. And you want to keep it brief enough so that people who are familiar with the app you're discussing don't get too bored and quit watching. My expectation going into a video like this would be that you will cover several things, and that i may know about a few of them, but not all of them. So the ones i already know about, i'd like them to be short enough that i don't get bored. And the ones i do not yet know about need to be informative enough that i get a basic idea of what it is and does.
My suggestion would be that for each app you try to give a 1-3 sentence explanation about what it is / what it does, and then demo a few features, without dwelling on it too long. I think you could put together a great video if you were to use a rule of thumb like that for each app and cool thing you want to show. Before you start recording, make a shot bullet list of the things you want to mention, so that you can stay on target. (Don't make a script with sentences, because you'd end up reading the script to the viewer, which really doesn't work.)
I hope that that helps you in some way. Again, it's nice you're doing this. I'm just trying to provide some feedback to help you get better I'm looking forward to more videos from you!

This app has been released and is now available on the Samsung Apps Store & Google Play
Hello! I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this, but here goes.
I'm part of a team developing a niche app for the Note. It's a drawing tutor, that's supposed to teach users how to draw in different art styles. We're looking at anime/manga for initial release, with different "style packs" to be released in the future as downloadable content.
Here's a video of the app trailer (goes up to 1080p for full Galaxy Note screen, though cropped, resolution):
I'd just like to know, for the kind of people who might be interested by this kind of app, what kind of features might you like to see?
My team has a deadline to meet so we definitely cannot promise implementing every feature right away, but if the app does reasonably well, it's safe to say it'll get the long-term update treatment.
And yes, there is a very similar app out there called "How to Draw - Easy Art Lessons" in the Google Play store, but we hope to better execute the same idea.
I think it looks awesome !!! I Love drawing on the Note but Im really **** at it lol So having something like this would suit me down to the ground !!
Looking forward to it
Hey azzledazzle, thanks for that. I hope we can pull it off well.
KABAYAN
i will you all the success in this app. i too am a fan of drawing but drawing does not like me that much, i hope this app mends our differences, lol.
Haha, yeah that's half the reason I'm liking this project so much. Thanks for the vote of confidence!
I love drawing, drawing hates me! I hope this would help me though
Edit: Saw the video and it looks pretty neat. One feature I would like to request is.. I don't know how to put it but anyways.. I would like to select a image from the gallery, say a cute lil puppy, and be able to trace that picture on a blank sheet (or canvas??). So after I finish tracing, I could edit it a little, a few finishing touches here and there, and save it.

So you mean to say that any device running Paranoid Android has no Samsung App store? That's a shame, because we were looking to submit our app there to join the Smart Apps Challenge.

As far as I know, any non-touchwiz ROM can't access the Samsung App Store. I tried installing the apk, tried the website. Nothing helped. I wonder if there's a workaround that I may not know of though.

I've tried a little bit of drawing with the note but not got very far.
Would be interested in an app to help me develop it further. Not seen video yet (no wifi atm) but will check later and let you know of anything I'd like to see implemented.
Would be happy to perform testing if you need anyone.

Hi guys, just letting you all know we've uploaded to the Samsung app store and it's currently undergoing review. Additionally, according to the Samsung Smart Apps Challenge rules as well as the general Samsung developer agreement, they don't require exclusivity for titles on their store. So we'll be uploading to Google Play afterwards, too.
Some tidbits about the current version:
Creator mode is done, in very rudimentary form. Users can make their own drawing tutorials in a step-by-step manner with up to 13 steps, upload the tutorial, and view/trace the tutorials of others in the community category.
Aside from anime characters, the app now has a dinosaurs category!

To be honest I just like sketching anything, Anything that helps become a better drawerer (is that a word ????)
I would like an option to sketch pictures I have taken with my camera ? Theres an app called 'Tracing Paper' what allows me to do this, But i would prefer to be able to do everything with just 1 app - Your app !!

Yeah, I could've worded that better. My apologies.
Some trivia about the app if you care to know: it started out as a kind of maze game where you control this glowing lump of lava lamp goo by using the S-Pen, and depending on the amount of pressure you apply, the goo would grow or shrink in size, making it more difficult to traverse the maze if you're heavy-handed with the pen. But the S-Pen SDK doesn't really have any functionality for animations so it looked really stale.

Wanted to let everyone know that I have been making videos for the community for a year now. I'm very excited to share these videos with you all!!
What to expect:
I have videos coming out every week and this will make it easier for those of you who can't seem to find a ROM that you like or perhaps want to know what ROM features are in them. You will be able to see those features and decide for yourself which ROM FITS YOU BEST!!! I will be showing quadrants from some ROMs as well as other SCORES like linpack, nenamark and other benchmarks. Just let me know what you would like to see. I do many different types of phones and ROMS so anything you want to see or know let me know.
I also have a NOOB TUTORIAL coming out that will explain how to ROOT and add ROMS to your phone STEP BY STEP EASY INSTRUCTIONS!

Hi Guys,
I shot a 2 part video explaining all (atleast most) of the Galaxy Note 3's software features.
PART 1
PART 2
Hoping this is useful to new comers and existing users alike.

Very informative and to the point. I'd only suggest turning the phone so it's not so sideways to the viewer, but I learned a lot from those clips.

Noted... I was thinking showing it sideways would stop my hand from obstructing the screen... is is uncomfortable throughout or did i just overdo it at certain parts?

I don't think you overdid it at all. And you're right, your hand never obscured what you were showing. :good:

No sweat. You give more than you ask for!
I think the phone could be aligned more straight to the viewer and still show what you're doing on it, but I could be wrong. I do know that some hands-on videos I've seen hid most of what you were supposed to learn because the reviewer had such fat fingers.

Thanks man I think I got a little too obsessed with aligning the phone diagonally so that I can zoom in the max... will keep it a little straighter in future videos... sometimes when you get in too deep you cant see the bigger picture and end up over analyzing and missing common stuff out... I really appreciate the feedback... Will work it into future videos

I appreciate your work and look forward to more. I've always kept Google services at a distance, but I broke down and "liked" your clips and subscribed to your channel. Congratulations on being so worthy!

Videos are excellent, a little long combining them both, but still excellent. I didn't mind the angle so much, everything was clear and focused.
I may have missed it, but when I went into AT&T they had a white note 3 on display, the dialer on that phone was white with white buttons, your video seems to show dark with dark buttons? Is that an option or am I crazy?

Might have been an AT&T thing... theres no option to change it tho... and yes they were long... did the short review earlier... I felt that I really couldnt do justice to all of the Note 3's features in a 12 min review and hence decided to do a 20 min one featuring all s/w and then that ended up being a 2 part 35 min video (and thats after 12-14 hours in editing, multiple run throughs and extensive cutting )
Wow great tool man.

Had seen these before seeing this post and think they are excellent and I learnt a lot from them. It's nice you broke them up made an ideal place to try out some of the features before continuing with the second part. Excellent work I would certainly say you had a future doing these kind of reviews.

Many thanks Ashwin for arranging these two videos.
They are very useful for a fast update on some useful features and shortcuts for the note 3.
Its also helpful to know when certain features don't work, as you show, which can save a lot of aggravation given that the Note 3 manual is not particularly comprehensive.
Excellent
As many others have said, great videos! Nice and clear, easy to understand and follow; very nice pace and to the point. I learned a LOT!
It isn't every day that a dev comes along who's as kind, considerate, and helpful as iB4STiD. For years, he's given to the community and put up with verbal abuse from trolls in a gracious manner. If he's going out, let's at least share some appreciation for him. Much love, iB! Thank you for your time and efforts!

You will be missed man.
I'm running Goldfinger on my S4. Really great rom. I just wish some people wouldn't complain about a rom that someone put a lot of time and effort into. I can think of a couple people who need to just quit acting like they know everything when they clearly don't.
Good luck iB4STiD!! Appreciate your contribution to the community. There are plenty of reasons for anyone come and go but what matters finally is how much values one could add. Good job.
I don't have permission to post in the developer section (for good reason) but I enjoy his ROMs very much.
Thank you. Currently running Goldeneye ☺
We already talked and said bye iB, but I feel like saying bye once more. We won't have another developer like you around here maybe. You were the best developer of any device I've seen ever. There were a lot of devs I've seen for many different Android devices, but, you by far, are the best one I've seen yet. I hope you figure everything out and stuff. (We've already talked about this privately, but, as I said before in this post, you are the best developer to me.)

He is one of the best devs out there. Thank you for everything iB4STiD!!!!
Nuts. Out of the loop on what's going on, but it's sad to hear. Since getting my S4, his ROMs were the only ones I would run. I guess it's finally time to pull the trigger on that Nexus 6.
What did I miss!
You can't leave! Yours is the one ROM that has always installed quickly and without any headaches.
Hate to see you go.
EDIT: Found out your moving on to bigger and better things. YAY for you! When you feel bored and nostalgic...just knock out another outstanding ROM for us s4/5 users. Good man!
I've used a few different ROMs of his, and I've enjoyed them all. Not only is he a great developer, but he responds kindly feedback and requests and replies thoughtfully to requests for help from users.
Thanks, iB4STiD!
@iB4STiD you are the best my friend and there is no doubt you will be missed. Good luck, stay healthy, and try to get some sleep
