What do you need for your Galaxy Note?

For me it's simple. Just get any simple or mini XXLSZ DEODEX + root it with Philz + your favorite theme.

With this you have stable version, good performance, acceptable battery life and look nice for daily usage.

Black and white...

Good performance score...

19 hours become normal... more than enough.

Long battery life...

NEW!

Adding CrossBreeder. TQ Eybee for the suggestion and link.

Download it here:
CrossBreeder_2.26.13.zip and CrossBreeder_Uninstall.zip

How to Install it?
-Flash it via CWM.
-Flash CrossBreeder_Uninstall if you had install any before.

Before  CrossBreeder: 7581

Since we can't measure how fast before and after the changes, I'm using Antutu for that. Basically both FAST!

Getting FASTER!

Frankly speaking...internet related apps do load faster.

What it does?

• Cool new feature. Neat Adblock. No more ugly 'Page not found' errors in your pages instead of your ads.
• More memory utilization
• Memory utilisation less than halved.
• DNS related improvements. 
• Haveged logic improvements. 
• Rate of change of entropy logic added. 
• UI more snappy. 
• Changes to auto start-up logic. 
• Tether fix and boost

How they do it?
1. It's a big new feature, removal of DNS lag
2. Change wakeup threshold kernel parameters so read blocks are released instantly and write blocks remain as we have an external entropy generator.
3. Modulate OS entropy levels for lag reduction ala Seeder
4. Remove /dev/random as it's blocking
5. Frandom support

Android sliding area and Apex Launcher

Do you know why I always keep my home screen below area blank. 2 blank rows. It's to make sure I have no problem sliding left and right without accidently pressing an app.

I add sliding UP will open my application drawer. It's an additional action and the setting available in Apex Launcher. So you could quickly access your application drawer.

 2 blank rows in both home screen...page 1 and 2

Set Swipe UP and Swipe DOWN action setting here....

Another Apex Launcher setting that I like. Lock the desktop. This will prevent you from accidently removed/change you home screen apps list.

Happy configuring your home screen....and practically for daily usage :)
