[Q] Lost browser one-touch zoom with MA7 OTA - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

One of my favorite features of the stock browser was the one-touch zoom via scrolling motion at edge of screen. I was rooted stock LJC and unrooted to take the MA7 OTA update. After the update, the zoom feature is missing from the browser. Did Samsung disable it, am I missing a setting to turn it on, or did my unroot method disable it? Any way to get it back?
I unrooted and returned to stock using this:

Then took the MA7 OTA update.

Bump

Omg you're right yay it's gone!
I think Samsung disabled it

I realize a lot of people didn't like it, but the feature was great for one-handed browsing. If there's no way to get it back, are there any similar alternatives?

Good riddance!

Need a way to disable my camera

As the topic says I have to find a way to disable my camera. Were I work we can not bring any kind of camera into the building doing so could mean fired. If you disable your camera by any means just so long as it can't take pictures you can bring your phone in. The question really is I was wondering if anyone new a code I could in term. To disable and able the camera as I please? Or a app that does that just I have to hide make the app hidden.
Freeze the app with titanium backup, then just un freeze later.

Oh.. lol simple, I don't know why I didn't think of it ether. Thanks tho that's even fast then what I was thinking.
If u are running ICS you should be able to just go under Settings>App>All>Camera and hit disable camera.

Youtube 4.0.8e fullscreen issues

Whenever I use this YouTube version the only way I can go into fullscreen is by having screen rotate on and flipping the phone, double tapping doesn't work what so ever... I've tried on stock bell rom and all versions of kyan rom

Curious

What do you think will be the next update for the GNII to improve it to be more like a tablet? Any ideas?
Swyped by Me & My GNII
I was wondering the same thing, but to be totally honest with you, it's already like too perfect. I really don't know anything else that can be done to it to make it any better except maybe, being able to use the voice feature on it without being connected to the Internet? Just my 2 cents.

Being able to designate which apps are by default started in full-phone or full-tablet UI mode would be great.

I really doubt they will enable tablet mode, they have tablets for that. That and for most people the screen is still to small from the tablet UI. heck even the Nexus 7 runs the same UI as the Note 2 does

Paranoid android and king kang had roms that would run specific apps in tablet mode on my old epic 4g touch. It would be great to see our phones added to their development......

I don't know, I think the whole phablet thing had many hesitant about this phone. I sincerely hope you're right though. I love CM10, PA, and other similar ROMS but they take so much time to get fully functional. I just hope there is Dev out there who will jump in and take it on for our Sprint variant.
the note II is anything but perfect. I have a lot of "gripes" with it.
first 320dpi. seriously? is that a joke I could not root it fast enough to get it going at 240dpi. Ahhh so much better
burst mode is borked. the huge delay built into the implimentation on the Note II renders is useless. as a temp fix use best shot its instant but only 8 shots.
on my S3 I can assign my favorite upload method (imgur for pictures youtube for video) as defaults. just tap the imgur or youtube icon and its going
this is GONE in the NOTE II I have to tap share and scroll to my selections EVERY TIME. very annoying once you got used to the S3 way.
toggles are gone. so I can't turn off mobile data etc.. on the Note II easily from the pull down like I can on the S3.

[Q] Is there a way to disable the zoom effect whle slding up and dn the screen edges?

Any help with the above question would be appreciated.
I also have this issue a lot when browsing. Maybe it's just a sick browser issue?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
Same here. I hate that slide zoom feature in the web browser but im sure its intended to work that way. I bet a dev could modify the browser apk to get rid of that.
I know if you stay away from the edges it won't do it. But it does get kinda annoying. I've read this was a change in JB due to the whole Apple lawsuit crap.

Well I don't know about you folks but I like it. Specially when using the phone single handed.

is there a way to set it to just one side instead of both?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
Use Chrome. ..IMO far superior browsing experience. Side zoom isn't an issue
Sent from my SPH-L900
My S3 does the same thing and its really annoying. I would use Chrome but that permanent address bar is really annoying especially in landscape. Plus the stock browser is faster.
I always tended to scroll the page at the very edge of the phone so that finger oil doesn't gloss over the text I'm trying to read...lol
Cool feature. I didn't know you could do that as I've been using Chrome which is awesome IMO, but this feature alone may make me use the stock browser from time to time. I do wish that when companies added features like this they would provide an option for users to be able to enable/disable as not everyone is going to like it.
I'm on LK8 and it doesn't have the scroll edges in the stock browser.

I didn't think it had to do with a specific browser since it does it in all three I use.

Iphone style lock screen

Im using the galaxy s2 with jelly bean installed. I want to use pin unlock but is there something more like the iphone, in android unlocking is a bit slower and has to press 'OK'
after pin. And also using camera directly takes more time as the screen is shown rotating and then we have to insert PIN for that. So if I have to use camera very quick inserting PIN takes time..unlik iphone which offers PIN but for shorcut as we slide the screen up we see the camera already hiding beneath. Any help please?

1. buy and iphone
lol but android 4.2 has a swipe to side for camera without unlocking
AW: Iphone style lock screen
Try to set a shortcut on lockscreen to the camera app. ( havent checked if its working)

No if I wanted an iphone I wouldnt post it. I just want that 1 feature because it seems quicker and less troublesome

cyanogenmod and aokp rom has this feature,
samsung custom roms may have this too.
i'm using chemeleon rom now and got this feature.
I think that he means that on an iPhone you can have pin lock screen set up and your phone secure but if you want to take a picture you can just show the camera with out unlocking the phone. This has been done by HTC and I don't think it is possible currently
Yeah thats what I mean. I want to use quick camera without unlocking with phone still secured. Unlike ios here its slow to execute it like that
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Suppose I use a ROM like AOKP to get that feature. How do I restore my back files I do using kies which is saved on PC. Because the new rOM does not connect to lies. Help please
And also if Samsung uses kies, what does a Google phone use to back up?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Use titanium backup to back up apps and texts. Everything else should be fine with flashing copy music, photos etc to a computer if you want extra security
If you are rooted, I suggest you flash SuperNexus ROM following the instructions here
Ive tried the aokp build 5 jelly bean 4.2.2. Though there are some changes in it, the main thing was only the lockscreen as features like photosphere was not available. So is it possible to use the official ROM and still get the lockscreen of 4.2.2 as an app?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Just install lockerpro from market.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Ive gone back to official rom as aokp is not very stable and also lack features and details.
Also lockerpro cannot open camera directly without unlocking like 4.2.2

Hi.
Creator of LockerPro here. In the last update we added the secure camera from Android 4.2.2 so you can access the camera without having to unlock.
Thanks for your interest for our apps.
