hey everyone danny Westover pocket now and it's been about six months since samsung has released the galaxy note for international users of course we all saw the 18 t version and it was surprising that the AT&T version somehow managed to get an official Ice Cream Sandwich wrong before the international version so here we have the semi official Ice Cream Sandwich Android 4.0 wrong which we're going to show right now so let's get to it so the Galaxy Note originally shipped with Android 2.3 Gingerbread and we've upgraded it to android 4.0.3 so if we go into the settings we can go to about phone we can view that it's Android 4.0.3 and unlike custom roms that have come out in the past this one is the semi official version from Samsung so everything wrong is really smoothly everything works the s-pen works perfectly everything works that's the most important thing about this new rom so another new feature that's come with this new ROM is we have power saving we can go to system power saving which allows the system to automatically save the battery and help you use less power and we also have our custom power saving some users said that they didn't like how the battery drained rather quickly on this particular device so we can just go back home another cool feature that we have one downfall to the galaxy note which I really do not like was the huge keyboard this is a 5.3 inch screen so when you're trying to send a text message is really difficult with this large keyboard especially if you're trying to use one hand well now with this upgraded Android 4.0 we can just go into settings and we have this one-handed operation which allows us to view a keyboard on the side so we have a smaller keyboard which is much easier to use if you have average too small sized hands and we can also move it to the right position we can go back home let's go into the settings again because there's a few more features that are available for the one-handed operation so one-handed operation go in there we can change the dialer make the calculator a different size and we can also do the unlock pattern make it even smaller so let's go and view the dialer here so click on here and we can view that it's a little bit smaller which is much easier to use with one hand we can also move it over to the right or left position so there happened some enhancements to the s-pen the s-pen is a great feature to this device so if I walk on the hovering pen icon and if you can see right here it will show us where the pen is going to point without even having to touch the screen so I'm not even touching the screen and is just floating right over it and you can see that little icon so this S Pen is phenomenal especially for applications like oh I don't know if you were at play draw something this I my opinion I think it works better than using your finger on a tablet it's much easier to draw with than it is to just use the finger on the device you can have much more control with the s-pen so if I wanted to play a game I can play one of these games and draw this on my friend's little clique out of here so we have the same TouchWiz user interface that Samsung came out with and that's both a good and a bad thing a bad if you wanted an upgraded version but good if you want to make sure that you're able to stay cohesive with your user experience so people that are very familiar with the TouchWiz user interface will enjoy that they haven't changed too much so long with that we can go into the applications we have the same file system here so if I wanted to go to edit just a point to add a folder I've to do is a drag and drop it onto the screen and then I can just place my name of the like lit ok and now I can move my applications into this folder so let me just Val you can see here I can move my applications into this folder if it'll allow me okay there we go does not have an application in that folder which is nice and you can also change it to the ListView if you have tons of applications and you want them in the alphabetical order so there hasn't been too many upgrades or enhancements other than the Android 4.0 interface does seem much faster than data with the Android Gingerbread version so I hope you enjoyed this video and if you want to get the Android 4.0 unofficial wrong semi official I should say to your galaxy note I will post the link in the description to pocket now and you and follow that and there will be instructions on how to do that xda-developers website if you like our videos make sure you gets a thumbs up and also leave us comments down below and make sure to subscribe so you get the latest news and information for upcoming Ice Cream Sandwich wrongs for your particular device if you do not have the Galaxy Note international version thanks for watching
