I use the back key more than the menu key and find it to be quite a stretch when using one-handed.
Anyway to flip the buttons around?

Left handed guy here. Ive been holding phones with my right hand because my left pocket is used for pens. So now when I use the note 2 its perfect since my left hand is free to use the s-pen when I need it

You guys can try button savior from market. Transparent onscreen buttons.

If I use the S Pen, then the phone is in my right hand.
Skip Button Savior and go right to GMD Gesture Control Paid. Works ideally for me.
The lite version lacks custom gestures so you need the paid version.

Will it be possible for a dev to switch the actual buttons though -- I'd rather not add more buttons to the screen.
instruction on the other forum already

You can find the instruction on how to change menu and back button.
(I don't think I can post the link.)
Go to international Note II GT-N7100 forum > Note II General,
Search "swap menu back"

For the longest time I thought my home button was broken! But it turns out if the s pen is govering the home button doesn't work. WHY?? Is it just me?
I have no idea what your question is... Can you re-explain this?
When the s pen is hovering/air view, the home button doesn't work.
Just tested it on my phone and it does the same thing. Home button does not work when the S-Pen is hovering. Not sure why but I'm guessing the phone thinks you are trying to do something on that particular page because the S-Pen is so close that it won't let you go "Home."
I think it's a safeguard that if your using the pen, it doesn't allow any touches, whether it be clicking something on the screen or using the home/capacitive buttons. Could be wrong, some things might still be usable, but that's how they explained it in one of the reviews(well they didn't mention the home button, but said you can't touch the screen while the pen is also active on the screen-so I assume it's the same for other selections)

somtimes my phone switches to one handed and im not sure how im doing it, but it does. I wanted to know if there was a way to put it back to dual hand without having to go into settings.
I would also be interested in this. I would like to be able to easily toggle from full to one handed keyboard without having to go in to the settings, if possible.

thanks, that will have to do for now, but i've accidentally switched to one handed mode a few times while handeling my phone with the screen on...there's gotta be some sort of gesture, i just dont know what it is. I never set one anyways.
You can pinch to zoom (make it one handed) and spread (opposite of pinch) to make it go back to full keyboard. I hope this helps.

Somehow I moved my multi window tab and bar to the bottom of my screen and can't figure out how to get it back on the left side. Any ideas?
Open the tab to view the apps then click and hold the tab and you can move to the top bottom left or right

I'd recommend taking a look at CleanROM 3.5...Absolutely the best (stability, battery life, functionality, and ease of installation) ROM I've used. It has MWC (MultiWindowControl) which allows you to add any apps you want to MultiWindow.

If the white button on the spen gets jammed in, then it will act like a finger on the touchscreen when you hover
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
I haven't had the issue. I just touch the link with Spen and it registers as mouse click. My tip isn't sticking.
Some sites are a bit finicky about where you click when using a mobile browser in desltop, IE, Firefox, etc mode (non mobile or android). And if the link is in some flash player media, that can be hit or miss.
I would suggest trying another site like MSN or something to test the Spen. This should tell you if it's the Spen or just that site.

This is a mod how to enable navigation bar(on screen
buttons) , its very simple and easy...
Warring: if you mess something dont blame me.
Add the following line at the end of buid.prop file

Much easier to use the recent and home.

Well those don't bother me. Still usable. But the navkeys are much smoother experience for me in general.

But you lose some of your screen to do this. I guess its a "what suits your own tastes" sorta thing...

Thanks so much for this! I'm going to give this a shot. Not sure if it's really that useful/suits me, but it's always nice to have options.
I have been having some fun with this. Enabled the software keys, disabled the hardware keys, disable the back and menu button lights. Now it just looks like I have a sweet notification light area because you cant see those two buttons when they aren't lit up. I adjusted the pixel density all around to make is so I don't lose any app screen space.
The only issues I have are the icons on the launcher getting cut off on the bottom rows and the camera button is a little messed up, still usable, but there is a dedicated hardware button, so it doesn't really matter.
Now I just need to change the multitask button to a menu button and it will be pretty sweet!
there has to be an app that does this as well.
