I got my note edge today. And I was wondering. On my about phone screen it shows that I'm running 4.4.4 but all the layout and settings etc look like lolipop. I was wondering if this was just my phones version bugged?

That's how they designed the layout since the S5. Completely normal.
Ya i think it's more of the way TouchWiz looks rather than the android version.

Hi,
after I've upgraded to 4.1.1; I've seen that gt2 has lost the tablet UI that It has on previous ICS version 4.0.4.; and It looks like a definitive step.
For me it's a downgrade of the tablet.:crying:
There is some way to change the UI to tablet again without changing to ICS previous room?
Regards.

Why have you posted this thread in the Development section?
This should be in Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 Q&A
Sorry

Actually , its not Samsung, its the way God and Google intended it.
Google choose this style for the Nexus 7 , therefore all 7 Inch Jelly Bean tabs get it... Thank ya Google.!!

Well, OEMs can do 'old' tablet UI if they want. But Samsung has decided to just go ahead and keep that aspect even while replacing other things with Touchwiz.
I find it stubborn of them. Google created their tablet UI and merged HoneyComb and Gingerbread into ICS and further but they are not capitalising on their innovation. Phone mode on 7" tablet is still fine but having it on Nexus 10 is just ugly and not ergonomic.
yeah, especially when trying to tap home on Landscape...
Good side on the new UI:
well, actually, none. most shortcuts from 4.0.4 in status and shortcut bar were removed.
-Except for the halo effect circle when you drag.
Bad side:
-Annoying to click from top then to bottom
-Trying to make it landscape, the feel is kinda annoying, like when you tap home on Landscape.
yeah and the worst there is no nicely working TabUI for DMA2 (4.1.2) out there...
I just wondering, can we port stock rom from note 10.1 2014 edition, to note 10.1 2012 edition? because the feature from 2014 editon is so rich.
No the tabs are very different and you would be setting yourself up for a brick.

I don't think there are that many features we're missing anyway. We even have the Hancom Office Suite ported to the N8000. The upcoming 4.4 update would even help our tablets catch up with the 2014 version for a while (but given the changes that Google and Samsung have made, I may consider staying with 4.1.2).

I wouldnt say all of that,there arent enough changes at the moment to really care, Jelly Bean does most everything you could want and kitkat with touch wiz overlayed isnt kit kat, and otherwise if all kitkat then your note wouldnt be a note.

Just list it out already. For me it's the lack of Tablet UI in Android 4.2+ and especially the complete removal of Tablet UI codes in 4.4. About Samsung functionality you'll see the new Pen Windows as a lot of hassles compared to N8000's Cascade View. Regarding usability, what you actually use everyday are apps, not OS. As long as 4.1 can operate with the (absolute) majority of apps that 4.4 can, I will see 4.4 as just a minor update that should only be concerned about by programmers. Don't believe completely in advertisement, it's not as big of a change as from 2.3 to 4.0.
Hi every one,
I recently bought a 2012 version note 10.1 it was on jellybean 4.1.2 and I loved the user interface with nav bar and status bar fused at the bottom just like a computer. Infact It was one of the factor that I bought this tablet.
The problem arised recently as I updated to a 4.4.2 official build and lost that layout. Now it appears as a huge android stretched across whole 10 inches and I seriously hate the taste. It looks ugly.
Now I want to get it back is there any way root or no root to get that tablet ui back...?

I m also looking for that
There's currently no method to actually get back the old UI, but you can modify your build.prop to get the Note Pro notification and app switcher. The only option right now is to go back to the old Jellybean rom. You will need to flash it with Mobile Odin since KNOX is onboard. You won't be able to go back to the old bootloader, but the rom should work fine elsewise.
Agree... new interface is naf.
I went back using twrp recovery, luckily had made a back up.
You could try the gnabo rom, it's better than the official stock but still the appearance is not as good as the old 4.12

Sups homies. Does anyone know if there is any way I can get the theme store on a non rooted Note Edge?
Not possible on an unrooted device. much less a rooted Edge. Some Edge variants just wont hook that up. ?

sad ,really wanted the avenger theme ,the dialer look so cool
weird thing is samsung display can render such UI , yet their stock always one or two color icons , sad looking dialers since mine galaxy I9000 S days , come on android and samsung its already reaching 2017 .........
Install a Note 4 rom which supports full theme store. e.g.: Dr Ketans one.
Only way to get a theme engine on an edge is by flashing a custom rom.

Only way to get a theme engine on an edge is by flashing a custom rom. Lets Say ' Dr.Ketans MM Rom'. But temember it comes with some costs n compromises. Manor one is that your Fingerprint sensor won't work with a custom Rom
Anyone know something about update for our edges? I mean official update with side bar support.

Won't get official support for edge. Best you can do is look for some ports. I just install Norma ROM on my edge, not nougat but a nice change and works well.

I'm really disappointed.
Yes, we all are. I would have purchased a note 7 had it not had issues. Now that there is no note 7, the least Samsung could have done was give us the newer os. If you have and edge, why go to a note 5? Oh well, maybe it was a hardware issue, don't know

You can use the Sidebar lite or the Sidebar pro app from Playstore, when you like the edge screen
