[App Library] Most Unique Note Enhancing Apps - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

[App Library] Most Unique Note Enhancing Apps - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

So I have been looking for new and cool apps that really compliment the Note II and I think that it's worth having a thread to have a list of the top apps to help with productivity, maximize use of the larger screen and overall get the most out of the Note II.
One that I've recently found and that is perfect for the Note II is 'Relaunch'. Screen shot below:

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This app is super cool and allows for quick app changing in a new intuitive way. With the S Pen and big screen it's super useful.
Another good app is Floating Browser! Allows you to do something similar to Samsung's Pop up Browser, with full flash and content (more robust)

Let's get a good running list.

Just saving second post in case the list gets long.

There is also a floating terminal app. It costs a few dollars, but if you're a terminal junkie, that's probably worth it.
I think there's also a floating calculator.
What else do we want to see in floating windows? There's demo code available for that-- so hopefully we'll see more applications like that.
I recently discovered that the Pulse widgets, with the right homescreen app-- (with resizeable grid and the option to overlay widgets)
Make for a slick looking homescreen page devoted to news.
And of course, with an S-Pen, drawing apps like MagicMarker and Sketcher are invaluable.
Some people may find this split/floating keyboard useful :
There's also the WOW split browser, but since we have MultiWindow, its obsolete.
I thought I might have a few more suggestions, but that's really all I have for now.

GpcSOFT kicks so much ass.
Super Manager and Super Video are both really great apps.
And you can do much much more with Super Video.

If you use a wallet case or a flip cover, I found Intellicover - it allows you to turn off and on the screen just by opening and closing your screen. It can even disable the lockscreen on opening the screen.
Taskarou is another one that I've been using frequently.

I like LilyPad HD (Pop Up Floating Chat) on my Note.
It's a floating messenger client, which lets you chat with your Facebook, Google Talk or Windows Live Messenger contacts from anywhere in your phone.

been using swipepad on my previous phones, but i like the looks of relaunch. ill be trying that

Wave Launcher is my pick for launching apps, plus you can put widgets and have access to them no matter what you have on screen
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobilemerit.wavelauncher
Overscreen is my favorite floating browser, although I had to sideload it since the market doesn't want to play nice
Sketch-a-bit has been on every device I've owned that runs android, if you like drawing then just go download it, it's like it was made for the Note, even though it's from 2010
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.superfiretruck.sketchabit

I posted a couple really nice apps in another thread you should check out. One invokes the pop up browser, another let's you set up commands for the spen, and light manager to adjust stock led notifications. Links are in that thread.

I've found Ultimate Rotation Control which. Shows me what stock TouchWiz looks like and behaves in landscape mode. I'm not even rooted.

I reset my Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 SM-T700 v6.0.1 and am having trouble getting my backed up data to be recognized in Kii. The folder is visible in my file manager, but not when I attempt to restore from within the app.
This has never been a problem when I've moved to a new device.
Can you offer a suggestion?

[THEME] Opulence - One-Click Downloadable Home-Screen

PrecieUX: Opulence is a one-click-applicable home screen decoration pack for BuzzLauncher users. Even if you have never used BuzzLauncher before, you can easily apply this beautiful home screen on your own device (whichever phone it may be) with a few clicks. If you do find it appealing, how-to-apply procedures are prepared for you at the bottom of this post.
Before moving on, please watch the teaser video I've prepared for you. I took time and care producing this video, so please watch in HD!
As the video read, certain privileges are available to only a number of special people. . . people like you. Opulence will bring the luxurious life-style that you deserve to your phone.
Ground up photoshopped matching pixel-to-pixel accuracy, tile-icons boast elegant details in even the phones with the highest resolution available in market today: Full HD (1920 x 1080). Designed and developed using Samsung's flagship Galaxy S4, Opulence is compatible with devices with other resolutions such as but not limited to HD (1280 x 720) or WVGA (800 x 480). Do not worry whether Opulence is going to look the same on your phone, because BuzzLauncher will automatically adjust layout and size of icons for your phone, whichever screen-size or resolution it may have.
Opulence is composed of 3 tabs: Main, Media and RSS. When you're in each of the three tabs, bottom of the tab you're in will glow to indicate the tab you're in. To switch to a certain tab, simply touch the tab you wish to switch to. Switching tab-to-tab is simply gorgeous: it feels like turning on a light-bulb by pressing on it.
The first tab of Opulence is "Main". Graceful widgets intuitively deliver to you information regarding date, time, your schedule, location and the weather. It has never been easier to see the important information so conveniently and so tastefully. Bottom third of the screen has short-cuts to the most necessary functions of your smartphone: downloading new applications, contacting your friends through social network services (folder containing short-cuts to different apps) and using your telephony services. The bottom dock is constant in all 3 tabs. Left tells you the percentage of battery you have left, and right tells you the time. Pressing the "Apps" icon will summon your phone's app-drawer that has all of your applications.
The second tab is your playground. It is worth a lot to live up to tight schedules, but sometimes you should enjoy good music or watch sensational movies. A big album-art of the album you're listening to decorates your second tab, so this tab will be automatically personalised to you individually according to the music you prefer. Without having to leave your home-screen, you can control your music player using the stylish control-icons already prepared for you. The Internet icon connects you to Google Chrome (but the short-cut can be directed to another application if you prefer another browser), and the Multimedia icon is a folder that contains apps most frequently used when listening to music or viewing your pictures and videos.
The third tab, as its name implies, has a gigantic RSS reader widget. Just pull out your phone from your pocket and unlock; the information you want to read will be updated and ready for you. (Press the bottom right corner of the RSS widget to add/remove RSS feeds). If the website you like does not support RSS, you can also choose to make bookmarks to your favorite websites and store them in the Bookmarks folder on the same screen.
To have PrecieUX: Opulence as your home-screen, please follow these steps:
* for convenience, you can choose to access http://www.bluepremium.co.kr/entry/PrecieUX-Opulence-Global. Then you can simply press on the following links.

3. Press "Download"
4. After applying Homepack, you can apply icons as you wish by downloading the icon pack for Opulence from the following link: http://bluepremium.co.kr/attachment/[email protected]
5. If you like Opulence, please take a minute to press the "like" button on Buzz Launcher. I've thoroughly explained the process in the following link.
http://bluepremium.co.kr/236. 1 minute you spare for me will mean a lot to me. Thank you.
Thank you, and enjoy your opulent life-style.

Why are all LED torch apps so slow to turn on?

Since G3 doesn't have built-in flashlight widget, I'm still searching for a fast to come on one. Like S5 - you tap the widget and LED goes on almost instantaneously. Every single one playstore app I've tried is too dam slow (~1 sec lag). And I've tried around dozen.

bump

I agree.
I've tried several myself and none are instantaneous.
I came from the s4 and some of the custom roms had a torch built in and they were instant and with others I used apps from the playstore like spicy flashlight and tiny flashlight and they were also instant.
I must admit the slight delay is not a huge dealbreaker, but it does annoy me.
Let us know if you find something better.

thank me

Wierd, I've been using this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devuni.flashlight
And it seems snappy even when being compared to other devices it seems normal, I mainly chose that app because it had the least permissions

^ Y'all haven't tried Assistive Light on S3 or Note 2. It's nearly instant using the widget. None of the playstore apps are anywhere near that.

Because the stock toggles are put in there by the manufacturer whereas the 3rd party apps are generic Android apps and need to access the LED by different means.

wow there are many options.
For me there is always a slight delay when using the widget on all of them and that is probably unavoidable.
When opening the app and turning on light it is instant.
I obviously am looking for the widget to be instant too.
Maybe not possible but I thought I remember tiny flashlight being instant on my s4 but my short term memory sucks.

Did you root your phone? I made holding the up volume button while the screen is off turn on the led with Tweaksbox. It's very convenient and I don't use LG's note app anyways - I much prefer using Google Drive so I have access to that stuff from all my devices.

Ok, LG owners in need of instant response flashlight 1x1 widget start hitting that THANKS button now. I found LG analog of Samsung's Assistive Light minus ugly ass 2x1 widget:
1. Download and install LG Smart World app (google it, it's not yet compatible in the official play store if you're on LG G3)
2. In it scroll down to utilities section and download and install Flash Light, Simple Version by CNJ SOFT
3. Drop a widget on your screen regular way
4. Pop a beer
5. Enjoy instant flashlight
P.S. You can uninstall LG Smart World if you want, but there are some nice fonts there you can grab along with some themes.

Nice find! That is an instant flash. I've been using the qslide torch located here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.csw.q.torch . Its instant also but it takes more steps to activate than a widget because you have to bring It up from qslide. I went ahead and thanked you because it was a great find. You'd probably have many more thanks if you didn't ask for em.
