This is my first post on XDA(excluding a copy of this in the general forum by mistake lol) and what a way to start, just bought a Galaxy Note 2 N7100 White today(although I would've loved the grey one but got a good price on this so yeh). Got to say, so far I love the phone and apart from the size, I have no gripes with it. I'm thinking that if I am struggling a little bit right now and it is without a cover, how would it be with a cover on? I guess I'll use it for a few days and see. Galaxy S3 feels tiny in the hand now lol(never thought I'd say that). I have a couple of questions and would be glad if someone could answer them.*Does anyone know how to make one app full screen when using the multiwindow feature? Also, how to swap apps? I saw a video online which had two buttons next to the divider line but there aren't any buttons showing up on mine. I have an o2 variant if that is any help.Am i able to flash a stock rom(without o2 splash screen and bloatware) without rooting? Would this unlock the device also?Thanks

you can try holding your back button, the multiscreen side bar should shows. If its not, you can try to update you phone via software update in your phone.

To make the app full screen:
With the arrow in the divider pointing to the app you want full screen, touch the divider. Two options should pop up. Choose the big window.

To change apps:
Drag another app from the multi window to the location of the app you want to replace.

Great way to showcase the S Pen. However, my Note 2 doesn't seem to be showing me any of those buttons.
.
Anyone?
Which two buttons?
The buttons mentioned in the above post, onrbof which makes the app full screen and other swaps which side of the bar the app should be on.

What he did means is OP got to touch or click the middle bar as i put no 1, in order to make indication as no 2 come out..

Yes I understand and that is what I am doing but no buttons showing up. I can't think of anything that is causing this. There are no updates or maybe if I flash a stock ROM onto it rather than the o2 one, it might work? What do you think? Also will it improve the performance of the phone?

Hi fellow note 2 users. You probably know that You can enable on-screen buttons on the note 2 by editing build.prop, and boy how much goodness they add to the daily usage of the note 2, especially when using the S Pen. However, some of Sammy's apps don't play so well with soft buttons and the Camera app is the most annoying one since the main button becomes too hard to hit without hitting the home button instead. Can a kind dev fix that for us on-screen buttons lovers, please

samsung doesnt support u do modification to their rom, especially anything need root, so most of their app would be hardcode to their fixed idea, i would suggest u use third party camera app or try this, im not sure if it can fix, the "Camera with any low dpi fix" one

Any fix yet for the camera? Other camera apps are not as good as samsung one.
Use xposed framework to launch the camera alwsys in full screen?

change the navigation bar dpi
1. follow this step to decompile/recompile
2. backup your current framework-res.apk (just in case)
3. after decompile, go into framework1/res/values/dimens.xml, open it using Notepad++
4. search for navigation bar height, navigation bar height landscape and navigation bar width
5. change it into 30, 0 and 24, save
6. recompile the apk
7. put it back to your phone
8. enjoy
thanks a lot
No credit, just found these on the note forum, and thought they were amazing so I'm sharing them here!
Light Manager (Control the LED Notification, simple, easy on the battery. Will upload a picture with the color settings I use as the defaults are not set for our phones.)
Pop-up Browser Invoker - Toss this in your Multiscreen bar, and you can always pop a mini browser up!
[ROOT] BEST APP EVER! I was looking for a way to add a simple Home gesture to the built in commands that the S-Pen has. (Hold button, draw arrow or line) This app will let you set up much better gesture support!
GMD S-Pen Control
Added picture of settings for light manager. Well tried to but the app won't let me. Will try posting a new comment with the pic.
Yeah, I used lightmanager for a couple minutes and was happy that it appears to be our note2 friendly version of lightflow. However that notification in the status bar is way over the rop. Have you found a way to get rid of it?

Hey, first check that that the colors are actually different. Mine has almost exactly the same color as SMS. If it's just not going off at all then please direct your question to the th re ead linked in the OP. I just found these apps, I'm not the dev hehe.

I'm on latest omega, 24 I think it is.
my poweramp has a really weird issue, my 'Song's list option is hiding under the 'Folders/Library' banner at the top. its only when I put it into landscape mode that I can even see a little bit of the bottom of Songs. check out the pic

the second issue I'm having is when I longpress the call button on stock samsung headphones it doesn't skip tracks anymore, I have to use the 'use double/triple press instead of long press' advanced menu option, I'd prefer to use long press.
I had this issue on omega 23.3 as well. can anyone else tell me if this is a common problem?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Yea i have the same issue with the menu. Untick settings>look and feel>menus>bottom action bar and it should go back to normal.
Dont know about your second issue sorry.
Same problem here, I just unticked "Action Bar" in Look and Feel > Menus as a quick workaround.

Thanks guys, you should see the responses poweramp support team gave me.. felt like I was talking to a bunch of monkeys.. lol
saying things like 'try scrolling down derp derp'
after I sent them pictures and then a side by side comparison of how it works on one phone vs mine.. then they said 'clear my cache'... lmao
should have went to xda first. I think I might just install a working version of poweramp from before they messed it up. anyone know the last fully functional version?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Hi, I think you're using Omega v34 (latest build) and I've been using poweramp since I was still using SGS 2. Long press to skip track is no longer working in JB 4.1.1 and up because by default it's suppose to bring up Google Now. In other ROM without Google Now implemented it should work just fine. About the issue on lanscape/horizontal mode, I don't have it. I'm using poweramp build 2.05 488.
Edit: Like those fellow xda members said, removing the action bar should fix your problem with landscape mode

They got rid of the traffic widget! I use that all the time! That sucks.

Only thing so far is it stopped when I got a call during navigation. Dont know if itll keep happening but thats the only thing so far that hasnt worked.

I ended up going back to the old version because they brought back some annoyances in the version, they had finally removed in the previous updates.
One, I use the map for just general guidance and traffic(not really point A to B directions). This new version never seems to remember the mode I left the map in, when I go back. So when the map shows, it doesn't remember I use view from behind "follow" type view(so I am always facing "up"). I have to hit the little button on the bottom right a few times to find the correct view.
Seconds, the map and text on the map is now too small by default again. It also doesn't remember my previous zoom level. The old version had this issue till later updates made the road names larger.
Also, when going under/over an overpass, the map goes bonkers, not knowing if I'm on the cross street or the road I was on as the map starts adjusting it's view wildly, till I'm passed the overpass. This gets VERY annoying when trying to see exits/entrances to highways.
I'll wait till they work out the kinks.
At first I didn't like it either but if your mind is dev material then everything becomes VERY easy, very quick.

The update sucks. They dropped way too many useful features. Reminds me of an iPhone app now. Pretty but limited functionality. Trying to revert to old one as I type this.
Yep. While it is pretty and smooth, functionally, it leaves a lot to be desired compared to the previous version.
Look at the comments section on the Play Store. Not too many people liking it at all.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
And it definitely doesnt handle multi tasking very well. Doing anything else during navigation force closes it. Not very good when ur on the freeway and u get a call and it closes and u have no idea where ur going. Lol. Had to go back to old version.

I don't have a Note 2 but am considering. Can't do the Touchwiz thing so I'm wondering the functionality of the sPen without it.
Simple question: I realize all the TW specific features will be lost but can the sPen be used anywhere in Non-TW roms where one would use their finger?
ie Will it perform like an old stylus from Windows Mobile device days? So purely via resistive use and not software driven.
This would be plenty enough for me. But if it's completely crippled then I may have to rethink.
Thanks for any response!
Yes it works, and many ROMs have settings for the pen.
I use slim rom and it has settings to setup what happens when you swipe left, right, up, down, etc.

Performs like a normal stylus. You can also see the floating cursor for it when it nears the screen.

It will still work, but you'll lose 99% of the cool features. Touchwiz really isn't that bad. I tried running paranoid android for a few weeks. Came back to Jedi just to get the pen apps back. That's why I bought the Note in the first place!

S-Note, and the ability for the phone to tell you that you left the pen sitting on the desk when you walk away.

Aside from the ability to launch an app when the pen is removed (which can be replaced with certain apps) the double tap to open sNote, and the ability to do the lasso copy thing when you press the button is about it. And i have to say I don't really notice the loss of those 2 features.
