Proud owner of a Note 2 with a few questions

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..
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

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?

anyone else having issues with poweramp?

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.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

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

Disable Soft Keys?

Hi there
How do I disable the soft on screen keys?
They get in the way and take up space when gaming or sometimes watching films I want to be able to swipe down when I dont need them or for them to disappear automatically.
Im on stock, unrooted.
Thanks

Flash a rom like cm that includes support for extended desktop. That's exactly what you're looking for

Yeah Just use Cm.
Just hold the power button and press disable keys.
Works perfect! Gaming is 2x better with it gone now!

Hide Bottom Bar
Alternatively, use this.
Grr, sorry, mainly a lurker, and XDA won't let me post a link. Search for 'Hide Bottom Bar' in the play store.
Requires root, works well for me for gaming and ebooks.

Are the cm roms stable?

Yeah, they're pretty stable, even the nightlies.

Cool thanks think I'll wait for the stable though skip the nightlies

Add this line to your build.prop.
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
It makes the phone think it has capacitive buttons and disables the nav bar.
then just use LMT Launcher to navigate though the phone.
LMT Launcher-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330150

I use the app full screen toggle then I use button savior to take place of the soft keys the top pic is with my soft keys still hidden look at the lower right to see an grey arrow by my l key. The second pic the soft keys are now out. Notice I still have my my status bar which u don't get with using full screen mode on roms like cm.

[Q] Xposed 5x4 Module Gets Reset to Stock 4x4

I'm not a big fan of the wasted space on the Galaxy Note II's HUGE screen. A 4x4 grid is pretty ridiculous. I use the 5x4 stock launcher Xposed module to alleviate that a bit.
But whenever I open a program like Gallery or Line, the 5th row is shifted down so that it overlaps with the Dock icons. Anyone else had this problem? Is it a DPI thing? Has there been an update to that launcher module? You can see what I mean in the attachments below.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

I've since discovered that it's not necessarily the app I open, but when the screen rotates to landscape and then back to portrait.
It seems like a DPI thing. I've tried adjusting DPI settings with the Xposed App Settings module, but it doesn't seem to resolve the problem. Has no one else faced this issue? I'd appreciate any setting suggestions or general pointers in the right direction.

Yes, got the same issue on my note 2. Has anyone got any solution? or is there any other way to get more rows on touchwiz?

Thanks, sawdoctor! Just a quick question: if I want to restore the sec2launcher.apk, is a Root Explorer zip file sufficient? Any drawbacks to this mod? Is it still compatible with simplistic?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 4

You can just flash back the stock launcher if you want but personally I think nova launcher is the best you can have any layout you want.

I was using this exposed frameworks on my note 2 android 4.1.2 and was working perfectly. But after I upgraded to android 4.3 even though the framework is on it's not working. Does any one have any solution?

Change height of on screen buttons/area?

Like my title says I'm curious if there's a way or an app to easily change the height of the on screen buttons maybe make him half as short as they are now
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I'm interested in this too. Hopefully there is a way. Waists too much screen space

My suggestion is to just root the phone and install GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys... I did that today, and it's amazing being able to use the full 5" screen for all my apps. Navigation buttons are just a touch/swipe away too.

I tried about GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys, but I don't like having to swipe up to show the keys. I wouldn't mind making them just a little bit shorter.
However, if that isn't possible, I wouldn't mind GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys if I could use the stock HTC Sense 6 system icons for the navigation bar when using GMD auto hide. Is there a way to extract them and do this?

This app is wonderful! Easy to use and a ton of good ways to customize it.

anyone try gravitybox? that works great. change size and colors

Gravity box is the best
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

If you have see no sense in the overload of Gravity Box features and just want to set height of the Notification bar, I would recommend "Dimensions Editor" for Xposed Framework. You can even change the position of Toasts with it (also the Height of Notification Bar).

Trying still now.
