[Q] Is there an "activity" to turn screen off?

I'm using Apex Launcher. You can set gestures to perform actions. I'd like to set swipe down to turn the screen off because I think it would be easier than using the button. I've looked in the "activities" but couldn't find anything. Any ideas?

None stock launcher question?

Is anyone using a different launcher? What S pen features work and what do you lose....?

I'm using Apex, haven't lost a thing.

Using Nova, no loss at all.

Using Nova, everything works. The only thing I can note is that the S Pen app doesn't automatically launch after removing the pen any longer. Not sure if that can be restored, but I have not investigated that since I actually like it better this way.

Apex. Only loss is when the Spen is removed the Page Buddy doesnt open automatically and the Spen icon is not displayed in the status bar.

So Apex and Nova, you lose certain S Pen features. And I believe multiview will not work with 3rd party launchers as well.

Incorrect...multiview works perfectly on Nova and I would assume for Apex as well. Pagebuddy doesn't open on 3rd party launchers, but all the apps within Pagebuddy work fine, you just have to open them individually instead of the page automatically opening. No big deal and the advantages of the launchers far outweight that one negative. In my opinion anyway.

That's a shame to hear that Page buddy gets broken.

Just put the s pen widget on a screen and problem solved

Totally agree while page buddy doesnt pop up automatically all the functionality is there just put Snote on your desktop and its ready to go. The Soen itself works fine under these launchers

Same thing with Holo. Another mildly annoying thing with Holo is that the exposé-like animation (which shows all your screens and allows you to switch to any one of them without cycling) is slow and choppy.

In my experience nova and apex aren't as smooth as the stock touchwhiz launcher is on this phone. Not saying they are laggy or anything but it is noticeable. I have the paid versions of nova and apex because in general I prefer them, but I've been using touchwhiz with 4x5 mod and perseus kernel and loving it.

TW on this phone is the first stock launcher that I would consider as smooth as Nova...however, the lack of scrolling dock kills it for me. If TW had that, I would definitely stick with it.

I could live with out the scrolling dock, I just want a fully customizable dock..... But still want s pen features... I'm sure there will be ROMs to fix this...

I doubt it since you lose no s pen features with Apex or Nova...those are the two launchers most used by devs when making ROMs.

It works fine for me using The Hybrid ROM. I haven't experienced any trouble with it at all

I'm loving Apex! Everything seems to work fine so far. But why can't I re-size my icons in Apex, even though the option to re-size any icon is selected?

Add home screen

How do I add a homescreen on my phone? I have 7 is that the limit?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app

I believe for the stock launcher 7 is the limit. Try a different launcher, apex,nova,go launcher are there more popular ones.
I have NEXT Launcher and 10 is my limit.

Nova prime adds gestures vs the free nova. Swyping gestures on icons as well. Once you get your note set up you'll love it even more.

PrintShare Premium. Let's me print text messages, photos, documents from my Note II via networked, wireless or USB direct attached printers.

I have a bunch of apps, its hard to say which is the best. So I'll just say Nova Prime because I definitely use that one the most.

Yes. After you install another launcher, the next time you press Home, Android will ask you which one to use. Select the new launcher and you'll never see TouchWiz again. (but you can go back to it via settings, or simply uninstall the replacement launcher)

I prefer the smaller icons of ADW. Nova also mangles my news & weather (genie) widget.
