Does anyone know if it is possible to launch 2 apps with one shortcut in multiview?
When I go jogging it would be useful to hit one icon and launch my music player and jogging tracker. I'm sure that there are other combos that would work well too.
Thanks,
Rob
So far, never seen b4.......
I am trying to find the same thing, would be cool to launch 2 apps in Multi-View from NFC tag.
Tasker can be programed to do that I believe

Any idea where in Tasker or how to even launch multi-view in tasker?
Tasker devs would have to make variables for it first, I don't know how much hope that bears, seeing how they wouldn't implement a s pen detection trigger.

I never understood why google don't add a note taking / voice recording app to the AOSP, so wanted to see what you guys use that fills this gap?
I currently have flicknote for notes (syncs to my simplenote, which is great), don't have anything for audio recording at the moment.
I use Catch. It's backed up online, so if I'm flashing between ROMs I don't have to keep track of backing it up.
Evernote.

This. I use Evernote for all my note taking.
Ditto for Evernote, as far as note-taking goes. I've never needed to record audio notes, so can't comment there.
I use ColorNote, free app.
If you download LauncherPro, and open up the activities widget in the normal launcher, then scroll down to sound recorder option and select it, you will then have access to the hidden sound recorder app on the home screen, similar to how you access the Rocket Launcher.
Note Everything or Springpad, depending...

I've tried Evernote, but I find it absolutely enraging that you can't see your notes if you're offline. This is a huge problem, IMHO.
I've been using NoteEverything Pro for a while, which I really like.
Color note for me, nice and simple note taking with optional auto backup to online. Dont use any audio notes myself so not got a suggestion for that.

I figure we should start a thread of all the creative things that you guys are doing with your NFC tags. You should list what you are using them for and what apps you are using to make them work.
A simple bedtime tag...sets volume to 40%, turns on Night Clock app.

I made a tag for use with Tasker profile to punch in and out of work, then it adds it to my google calendar when I punch out. Better than my previous solution: post-its.

this is still a WIP but i wanted to make a tag where it would turn on the app for the griffin wifi to ir bridge and send a command to turn on my tv,amp,xbox all over ir
should be easy im just waiting for the griffin bridge and the nfc tag...
Wish I could use NFC to unlock my door or pay my subway fare.
there are ir auto door locks where you can open your door with a ir remote like a car remote... so what you do is you get a wifi to ir griffin box and you setup a nfc tag outside of your house and there you go lol...
I've used NFC Tag Launcher to turn the POS Verizon car dock into something better: Launch Car Home, disable wifi, enable bluetooth, adjust ring, notification, and media volumes, and then to play a clip of Jim Gaffigan screaming "BAAAACOOOON!" to let me know everything has been set. I've still got a handful tags, so I'm looking forward to finding something new with them.

Is there a way to have a tag be a toggle? I'd like my nightstand tag to put my phone into night mode when i tap it at night, and then put it back into day mode when I tap it a second time in the morning.

In a german forum i read about someone who out sticked a NFC-tag into his cookbook directly next to the recipe for muffins: The NFC-tag started a timer counting down the oven-time, so he didn't had to watch for the mussins in the oven ^^
What tags is everyone buying? And from where?
Car Home?

You have the Google 'Car Home' app working? It won't load from the market for me. Are you using an apk or a different app altogether?

I am using the Gummynex ROM currently and the car dock app is built in. You might give it a shot, its a great ROM.

OK,
Maybe someone has tried an app and can recommend something other than S-Note.
I need a note taking app that can, not only put my quick notes in a widget form, so I can read/edit the note (with the S-pen) without launching the app itself. And be able to schedule the note with an alarm of some sort. Seems simple enough, but I've tried all I can find, and nothing seems to do this simple enough function.
Anyone know of something can do this? Or, is the S-pen still in it's infancy stage?
S-note is ok, but no widget ability and no schedule or timer ability=LAME for me.
you aren't going to find any s pen third party apps until all android devices adopt it... in fact the s suggest spen apps and the stock apps are probably the only apps that consciously use the pen

There are other apps that work great with the S Penn. I use Lecturenotes on a regular basis and it is a great note taking app (that fully supports the pen and button), however I don't think it takes care of all the OP requirements.
Beesy - smart taking notes for iPad
Beesy is the All in one App to manage your business activity and manage your meeting.
Beesy provides a smart note taking app / To-Do application that understands the underlying tasks and suppresses unnecessary operations. It addresses 3 main pain points of business meetings:
- Quickly take notes during meetings and do not miss critical information,
- Send instant meeting minutes right after the meeting in less than a minute,
- Easily follow-up on actions with a powerful To-Do organizer reusing 100% of your notes and your calendar.
You can try it, i think you not be disapointed.

I've been using Note Everything, and like it.
I don't think it can make a widget from a note. I share notes into GTD DGT to track tasks, though. It also has some built-in tricks of its own that I haven't fully explored.
Re: supporting the s-pen, I believe that as long as the app can use the system-supplied keyboard with handwriting recognition it will support the s-pen, the app doesn't need a special capability to do this.
[ edit ]
It turns out Note Everything can make a widget from a note, who knew? I'm not a fan of the widget's appearance, though.

Hi, I've been really keen to get a note 2 for all that stylus goodness, other phones are pretty much all the same now. I would need to mod it a bit to be happy though - I really want onscreen nav keys like the nexus so I can use the stylus.
I've seen some people saying that the space taken up by the buttons interferes with app layouts - is this only an issue with stock touchwiz apps like the launcher, which presumably is hardcoded to the stock size? I'll be using Nova or something anyway, but I'll definitely keep touch wiz apps that use the pen well. Has anyone got any experience with this?
Thanks!
You could try PieControl or Lmt launcher which add a hotspot triggered pie menu (like the quick controls in stock browser).
IMHO these are better than nexus style onscreen softkeys since they don't take up space hence no compatibility issues.
Both apps are free and highly customizable. PieControl is on play store, lmt is on xda.
Should also mention that for any solution, adding menu or back commands will require root.
Sent from my GT-N7100
Have just this second stumbled on lmt - it looks amazing, much better than risking compatibility issues! Does it work well on the note 2?
If so I'll probably use that and maybe turn off the capacitive key lights.
Thanks!
I've been using lmt for a while now and it works great.
Disclaimer: I'm not rooted so I don't have the back button. Some people mentioned on the forum that it was laggy, but it seems to be a galaxy nexus issue. Note 2 is more powerful and shouldn't have any problems

Now which note are you transfering to?
Your title states Note 8, yet you ask Note 8.0... they are two diff devices, with two diff Androids.
I see a few Note 8 guys are messing up our forum threads with Note 8 questions.
Action memo was never introduced to Kitkat on the Note 8.0.
There are a few action memos plucked from Kitkat versions of phones and ported, but have odd formatting without using framework app settings.
You can modify your build prop to reflect the Kitkat tab and clear your Samsung apps data and cache to use Galaxy Apps to download a copy. Can't say if it will work or format properly to our screen dpi. I did do one update from Samsung so my Action menu is a bit newer than the ones floating around the S2 note II threads.
