One is my gmail and the other is Microsoft Exchange Services for my work email.

I could probably have my gmail loaded into the stock one but I want to keep my two accounts seperate.

I figure this is the best solution until i start figuring out what a good mail app is as i don't really like the stock one that much with the black background and grey text.

Your stock email app has a black background? Mine doesn't have that option, only white background with normal black text. That's odd. If I could, I'd trade email view modes with you as I prefer the black background (I like to think darker backgrounds save power by a little bit :P)

Also, I've heard good things about both enhanced email and maildroid. They're both paid apps, but if they're good quality then it might be worth it. If not, use aptoide haha.

Just figured out how to take a screenshot, very cool!

My background is a painting by Paul Barnes.

It's a bit crowded, so I'll probably change it soon. Lol.

How were you able to get the battery % next to the battery icon in the notifcation area? I like that and don't see an option on the phone to add that finctionality. Your insight would be appreciated.

Went through the video tutorial posted by ColdFustion for the Go Launcher EX home replacement and I really did not like it when all was said and done. I just wasn't impressed - it wasn't as crisp as TouchWiz.

What's direct push? Also, would you happen to know how to search old emails that may not be on your phone but still on the email server? Thanks

when u sign into your Google account, it sets it up for Gmail emails to push directly to the phone through the Gmail email app. It doesn't connect through the email app.

To search for old emails, you have to go into the email settings and have it sync for the amount of time since that email (e.g. 1 month, 1 year, etc. )

Hey guys, I can't seem to shake that icon that has the Diamond cross hair that relates to the GPS. Even when all services are off it never disappears any ideas?

Here is my most recent. The thing I covered up is my city. Anyway this is using a jelly bean wallpaper with Nova Launcher and I have a minimalist theme going. The calendar and clock widgets are an app called zooper widget.

I just got mine Friday..
I love it, but the camera on my EVO LTE is better for sure.. Other than that is a great Phablet

I'm stock rooted cause I can't see a rom that convinces me just yet, I'll wait until the devs polish them a bit more.

Anyway Here's my first and basic setup:

The clock is from Zooper Widget Pro, just edited out the calendar to just show the time, moved the placement of the text a little bit to line up nicely with the weather bug widget. The weather comes from weather bug elite.

Mixologist,

Thank you for alerting us about Zooper. Just installed it.

As far as I know you aren't able to without downloading something like WidgetLocker Lockscreen.

Widgets on the lock screen wasn't introduced until Jelly Bean 4.2 which we don't have on our phones yet so in order To do that you will need a 3rd party app of some kind like the one i mentioned above.

The clock and weather is beautiful widgets from the market. It isn't free, but I think it's only 2 bucks. It comes with a skin market, that particular green skin is called "bracketed_Green". I found the wallpaper by googling for Note 2 wallpapers. Don't remember the exact website, but you can't set the wallpaper straight from the browser. Doing so results in a blurry image, you must first save to the gallery, then set as wallpaper. Here is the original image uploaded to photo bucket (may have been resized):

^^ you could probably eliminate the need for the battery widget by enabling battery percentage in the stock notification area. It would make room for another shortcut for you.

Hi, The widgets are HD Widgets. Right. The background is a live wallpaper with floating dots, it's quite cool, but doesn't capture in stills.

the phone is not black, it's grey, but in the pic looks the same color as my former Gnex.

How small is the Gnex is comparison.
