[Q] Task Manager?

Isn't this app built into the Galaxy series? Seems to be missing in the Tmo GN2. Are we to rely on a 3rd party app?

If we are thinking about the same thing, it's there. Hold the home button down and then click the circle in the lower left corner.

You can install a simple shortcut app that can send you directly to the Note2 built in taskmanager. This app was originally created for the GS3, however it works great on our Note2.
You can find it on the Google Play store: HERE.
If there is any issues with it, it will be: it stays on the screen for about 10 secs as an active task in itself before it disappears.
I hope this works for you.

When you press the button nothing happens? Or what does happen? What if you double tap
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium ,

When I long press the home button I get this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then by pressing the circle on the bottom left it takes me to the task manager that looks like this
Hope that helps.
Note 2, yeah son!

Camera - enable touch to take picture?

It seems as though everyone else can open the camera....touch the screen anywhere....and snap a picture. I don't know if my settings are weird or what's going on, but when i open my camera...i need to touch the screen to focus...then i have to actually press the shutter button at the bottom. How can i turn on touch to take a picture?

oh wow, all i had to do was hide settings apparently. thx!

Yes hide the menu then you can.

I'm glad you ran into this. My settings were hidden from the start and I assumed you always had to tap to focus+fire. I might have wondered wtf happened if I'd accidentally made the settings visible!

I feel really dumb... I can't get mine to take a photo at all. Screen press or camera button icon. Can anyone tell me what setting to change specifically? I've totally hidden the settings, I've changed to 10M, 3M, 13M... tried changing storage from internal to sd and back... doesn't matter what I do, I get nothing.

[Q] How to disable slide-down overlay notifications that recently started appearing?

I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find an answer on the forums.
I'm running 4.6-BETA5 on my Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 Int'l.
In the last couple of weeks I've started getting notifications overlaying themselves at the top of the screen, as in the following screenshot whilst the eBay app is being updated:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is annoying if several apps are updating one after the other, because it makes the quick settings drawer unreachable.
I've been using PA for ages without this issue so I'm sure it's a change I've made recently - except I can't work out what.
When I first got PA I found, as others have, that Chrome was opening in a floating window so I followed a guide involving something to do with Xposed Framework and the module XHaloFloatingWindow. Recently I believe there was an update to that module, and I'm wondering if by updating the module I've somehow enabled overlay notifications (or whatever they're called). It was some time ago that I first messed with Xposed and I cannot find the original guide I used to mess with the floating window thing.
So, is it possible to turn off this overlay style of notification?
Thanks.
Chris

It's called Hover. You activated by tapping the Hover icon in your notification drawer...just disable it the same way you enabled it. By tapping the icon.

Thanks for the reply - I feel stupid now! I was looking on the quick settings menu and hadn't even considered the icons at the very top change between quick settings and notifications menu. Cheers!

Nova let's you hide status bar so that's taken cared of. Just the software buttons left.

You can root and use another type of navigation like Pie. You would have to edit build prop with
"qemu.hw.mainkeys = 1"

Ugh... Didn't really want to root

Yes, LMT and SwiftKey.

I was looking for a way to make the nav buttons transparent / translucent like they are in Google Now, but for all apps.
Would probably consider rooting if i could do something like that

I would love to swap the multi tasking button with the back button, anyway to do it without xposed?

Question Is there any way to change what the smart pen buttons do?

Hi. I've been using the tablet for about 9 months, and bought it with the smart pen when I bought it. I've found it quite useful for note taking. However, something that annoys me is that the buttons' function can't be changed in the settings, and only do soemthing different in the Xiaomi Notes app. Is there any third party app/rom/way to change the buttons function?

Key Mapper, you can find it on Google Play Store.

Record a trigger, press one of the buttons and set a new action afterwards.

Found it. thought the countdown was to get ready, not to make the input. It was just me being stupid hahaha

Hello, there are times when I am writing (with the xiaomi smart pen) and I go to the bottom line (on the left side of the screen - approximately in the space of about 3 to 4 cm on the left side), it does not work. It is expected to touch somewhere on the screen more in the middle of the screen, so that it recognizes the writing, and I can go back to writing at the beginning of the line. How can I solve?
