Is there an app for sliding screens between various activities when multitasking? For instance, I would like to play online chess and online scrabble at the same time. Is there something that would save me having to switch off applications, allowing a smooth transition through screen sliding?

I think your talking about side by side apps like the feature on the new Note and the cornerstone projects.

You can also try LMT Launcher (search xda there is a thread with the app its not in the play store but I think you still need root)
Why not root? I mean it's all good if you don't want to just wondering if there is something preventing you from rooting. I don't know how I'd live without root lol

Isn't that what the recent apps button is for? That is exactly what I do with it...

Many thanks for your replies. Sounds like rooting's the answer!

Sounds like a great plan. You will like the ride. And the app is just great.
I found an app caused App Launcher that I mapped to my Hold-Home button (instead of Google Now). It cost $1.99 but pops up a menu to launch favorite apps from. Google Now is mostly a waste on the N7 without wifi.
The app is hard to find in the Play Store app. I had to use the website.

Many thanks for this! Much appreciated!
I have since then discovered SwipePad, which is even better than what I was looking for. And it's free!

When I load into a mission the first few seconds of game play stutters a lot.
Is this a common issue and is there any way to fix this?
I am using TeamEos ROM.

If it doesn't bother you you can change from ultra high settings too high this solves the problem for me
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
Ultra high works fine for me .never had a issue yet ....besides losing all my crap when they updated it keep force closing if we had the first release of dead trigger ..so I had to re install....
The posted the info about updating a few days after.........
Either than that no issues on updated version

Does this phone register as a "phone" on the Google play store? I've primarily used Wifi devices as my phone for about 2 years now, and have upgraded to a Nexus 7. The only problem was, most apps (the ones I want) are only compatible with phone sizes and not tablet sizes.
So I wanted to know if this phone had any compatibility issues with those phone size apps, if any.

Would it be possible to use the ir blaster to control a fan that has a built in ir receiver? P.s. the fan came with a remote that has an ir port

I'm curious to this as well. I'm wondering if it'll work with an AC. I have a feeling it won't though.

I have confirmed an app named smart remote for s4 working on controlling my mothers window air conditioner
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium
I would love to see a truly universal remote app, NO TV guide, no other bloated CRAP, just a app that lets you tell it what kind of IR device you want to control and it says "Ok" and then starts blasting IR commands, and THAT'S IT.
I had a universal touch screen learning remote 12 years ago...why can't my damn $600 smart phone do that now?

Did you have to set it up or did you point it at the ac and click on?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Smart remote works great and the are loads of devices that can be controlled... If yours isn't available, just contact the developer. The only thing the app can't do is "learn", but that is because of the hardware anyway.

So it could control my fan, correct?

If you can figure out what the IR codes are, then you can control anything
I emailed the developer so hopefully he can include it

There is one.....it's called Smart Remote for Galaxy S4
Does anyone know how to add devices to the app?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
The developer(s) behind Smart Remote work FAST! My TV wasn't supported (Sigmac brand) and literally two days after I e-mailed the developer(s) about it, they e-mailed me back saying they had added support. It also works with my Vizio soundbar. Haven't tried my fan yet, though.
There was a thread about this in the general section, but I can't find it now and its probably better suited here.
So has anyone been able to get it to play videos?
I sideloaded the app and it loads up fine, but when you click a movie it closes.

Yeah I'm aware of playing it with flash, but having the stand alone app would be a better option.

Yes, I know how to get it to work with flash in the browser. I am specifically looking for it to work using the app.

Hi guys,
I have the wifi only version of N7 and I use it a lot while at home. The only problem is that I have to keep reaching back to my phone to reply to SMS or whatsapp. Do you guys know of some app through which I can link my phone so that I can send messages through my tablet itself and not have to reach to the phone? Something like Airdroid maybe? Or Snappea? I can still use these apps through the browser but can you guys suggest some better way or app?

There's DeskSMS and TabletSMS.
You need to have DeskSMS working on your phone, then TabletSMS will work. You can also install a browser extension so you can reply to SMS via computer as well. DeskSMS costs money, not sure how much exactly, as it's been awhile since I bought it.
Hangouts would be an easier "fix"

Tablet talk is what you need. It sends SMS and notifications to your tab. You can reply back and stuff. I haven't used it but I heard it works great.
