Absolutely position

Hi,
I was wondering if it was possible to get absolutely position on my home screen and other screens for folders and icons without using a launcher?
Thanks

I read this three times and I still don't know what your saying. Can you reword it.

When moving icons and folder on a screen you cant just put them anywhere you want its locked to a grid so is there a way to be able to put folders and icons anywhere you want on the screen?

If you want your folder/app stick to the point where u left your finger and not in the 4*4 grid - so you want it to stick at the exact position - well you can't. Don't know even why would you like to do that? You could mess with your shortcuts easily

Hope fully this will give everyone a better idea of what I am on about.

It would be nice to have total control but unfortunately we don't. I used to have launchers plus on my desire and it is probably the kind of thing you are looking for. Instead of a 4x4 grid you can change it to many others. For instance a 5x6 which would nearly double the amount of icons you could have on screen. You could also resize widgets which was handy. And if I remember correctly you could even have more quick launch icons at the bottom. Very nice app.

It's nothing to do with the one x. Your launcher and widets are crap.

The amazing moving app drawer!

Over the past couple of days, the app drawer on my unrooted stock Note 2 had taken to moving about randomly.
I'm not overly concerned about it, but I'm wondering if anyone else had experienced this.
Thus far, I've seen it move to the centre and the second rightmost position.
This morning, I actually watched it swap position when I unlocked my phone.
Regards,
Dave

It would be awesome if we can move it on command though, I want it in the middle.
Is everything still working correctly when it's moved?

Yes, everything still works fine. I wouldn't mind it in the centre all the time either.
Thus far, moving the other shortcuts around tends to snap the app drawer back, but it was weird this morning to see it move because I could swear it was animated (as opposed to simply just flipping position).

BTW turn your friggin wifi off if you're not using it, same goes for BT. Why would you waste your battery?

On this phone, doesnt matter. I no longer worry about cutting any service off and cant kill my battery! This is the way all phones should work! :good:

Thanks for the advice, but no thanks!
Battery life on the Note 2 is frankly epic, even if I leave WiFi and BT on.
I don't go chasing battery life on a device that can easily get me through the day.

Proud owner of a Note 2 with a few questions

This is my first post on XDA(excluding a copy of this in the general forum by mistake lol) and what a way to start, just bought a Galaxy Note 2 N7100 White today(although I would've loved the grey one but got a good price on this so yeh). Got to say, so far I love the phone and apart from the size, I have no gripes with it. I'm thinking that if I am struggling a little bit right now and it is without a cover, how would it be with a cover on? I guess I'll use it for a few days and see. Galaxy S3 feels tiny in the hand now lol(never thought I'd say that). I have a couple of questions and would be glad if someone could answer them.*Does anyone know how to make one app full screen when using the multiwindow feature? Also, how to swap apps? I saw a video online which had two buttons next to the divider line but there aren't any buttons showing up on mine. I have an o2 variant if that is any help.Am i able to flash a stock rom(without o2 splash screen and bloatware) without rooting? Would this unlock the device also?Thanks

you can try holding your back button, the multiscreen side bar should shows. If its not, you can try to update you phone via software update in your phone.

To make the app full screen:
With the arrow in the divider pointing to the app you want full screen, touch the divider. Two options should pop up. Choose the big window.

To change apps:
Drag another app from the multi window to the location of the app you want to replace.

Great way to showcase the S Pen. However, my Note 2 doesn't seem to be showing me any of those buttons.

.
Anyone?

Which two buttons?

The buttons mentioned in the above post, onrbof which makes the app full screen and other swaps which side of the bar the app should be on.

What he did means is OP got to touch or click the middle bar as i put no 1, in order to make indication as no 2 come out..
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

Yes I understand and that is what I am doing but no buttons showing up. I can't think of anything that is causing this. There are no updates or maybe if I flash a stock ROM onto it rather than the o2 one, it might work? What do you think? Also will it improve the performance of the phone?

sPen without TW

I don't have a Note 2 but am considering. Can't do the Touchwiz thing so I'm wondering the functionality of the sPen without it.
Simple question: I realize all the TW specific features will be lost but can the sPen be used anywhere in Non-TW roms where one would use their finger?
ie Will it perform like an old stylus from Windows Mobile device days? So purely via resistive use and not software driven.
This would be plenty enough for me. But if it's completely crippled then I may have to rethink.
Thanks for any response!

Yes it works, and many ROMs have settings for the pen.
I use slim rom and it has settings to setup what happens when you swipe left, right, up, down, etc.

Performs like a normal stylus. You can also see the floating cursor for it when it nears the screen.

It will still work, but you'll lose 99% of the cool features. Touchwiz really isn't that bad. I tried running paranoid android for a few weeks. Came back to Jedi just to get the pen apps back. That's why I bought the Note in the first place!

S-Note, and the ability for the phone to tell you that you left the pen sitting on the desk when you walk away.

Aside from the ability to launch an app when the pen is removed (which can be replaced with certain apps) the double tap to open sNote, and the ability to do the lasso copy thing when you press the button is about it. And i have to say I don't really notice the loss of those 2 features.

I can do most of that with GMD S Pen Gestures.

[Q] Beanflinger???

Does the beanflinger easter egg work on the Verizon HTC One? I've tried tapping the 4.2.2 but nothing happens. Any help would be appreciated. I'm running stock

Verizon takes the fun out of everything so I wouldn't be surprised if it's disabled.

yea it seems they def did.
Typical.

Can't get beans to show but we able to enable the developer options by clicking build number. Not all that handy but hey it worked.

I love turning animations off. Makes the phone feel even snappier!
I don't mean to hijack your thread but I hate creating new threads for simple questions...
When you guys press the power button and it goes to the lock screen, your status/notification bar is transparent, correct? However, when you slide to unlock, does your guys status bar go black for a quick second and then back to transparent?

mine does

Opened the framework file and it appears that the png is still there for the Bean Flinger. However from reading around the ability to activate the feature is removed by HTC on Sense 5 phones/roms, I have not seen this confirmed by anyone actually from HTC though.

At least the op said beanflinger and not bean flicking. You all know that's a syndrome nowadays right?
