Hello Everyone,
I just noticed this, and as far as I know this has not always been broken. I'm running Jedi X 13 ROM with a Perseus Kernel and I'm trying to edit the apps that show up in the multi-window pull-out tab.
After I press 'Edit', the large right hand portion of the screen pops up. As long as I select an app on the visible portion of the screen without scrolling down, everything is fine and I can move the app over to the lefthand pull-out tab for use in the multi-window function. However, if I scroll down on the right-hang side to select an app and bring it over the the left, something is going wrong. It is showing the correct icon dragging over, but when it actually drags over, it's a different app- specifically the app that's in the exact same place on the screen except scrolled up to the top.
Has anyone else experienced this, or have any ideas about how to fix it?
Best,
Eli

Very normal when you have to many apps enabled. Download Multi Window manager on the play store. Reduce the number of apps enabled and reboot.

Just wondering for those of you who have the device already, have you guys found some neat features/tricks using 4.0 that haven't been documented or heavily advertised?
I would love to make a list of these features for other users to explore...
Lets get this started
List:
Reserved........
I know it's documented,but it was still a surprise to me - you can now finally delete apps straight from the app drawer, by dragging them just as if you were going to place them on the desktop,but then putting them in the recycle bin on the top.
No affiliation with apple. Or siri.

Nobody's talking about the search app. It's way better than the one in Gingerbread. Much easier to find stuff in your phone : music, app, sms, docs, etc. The old one was returning web search suggestion in 90% of the result... useless.
Search in browser let's you edit suggestion if you want to add something to it. But we lost popular web site suggestion
Just read it on Pocketnow but you can make folders in the favourites bar. Apologies if obvious.
When in the stock browser and you change orientation, tap the screen to make it rotate.

which runs TouchWiz, so it's not stock Android
Rotate the phone to the right whilst in any stock app (so the speaker grill and front camera are on the right). Notice that the back, home and task switch buttons have moved to the top of the screen so that they stay on the right.
When using an ics app hold down on an icon in the action bar to get a description of what it does

Not heavily advertised, but it should be:
The quick control in the browser. Almost the same as on honeycomb. Activate it in the labs settings of the browser. Love it!

NICE find! Thanks!
This is known about, however you said undocumented and I haven't a single document for the Nexus/ICS apart from on one which came with the phone,telling me how to fix the battery.
Hold the volume down and power key, and you take a screen capture. Which is very handy on occasions

If you tap the volume button which makes the volume bar appear, you can then press the icon to the left of the volume bar and it toggles between ring and vibrate.

In settings/about phone. Tap repeatedly on the android version number (4.0...) then a little android appears. Keep ur finger on it and it grows into a screen animation.
If u didn't know about this,I guess u r now thinking this is a joke. Or is it?
Need someone to test; try swiping the web pages up/down using 2 fingers
, is it a feature or a glitch?

I thought it scrolled page by page. try by flicking with 2 fingers.
For anyone who flashed my modified launcher and is bothered by the fact that voice search can still be activated, here's the stock launcher in flashable zip form.

I apologize for any inconvenience or time wasted.
I've tried setting all focus and clickable attributes to "false" in every xml file that references "search bar", "qsb" and "voice search". Voice search can still be activated when you tap the top right corner of the screen.
Rather than let people install something that doesn't work as I intended it to (and there's another launcher mod on here anyway) I decided to take it down. If I figure it out some time, I'll repost, but I might not have to since FufNuf has the same thing going.
Check out FufNuf's thread for essentially the same launcher mods.
Mods, feel free to delete this post whenever you'd like.
Works great, ty!

Cool I'm glad you like it. When my kid goes to be tonight I'm going to edit the margins. I like having everything fill the screen more. I'll post a few with smaller margins.
Very nice,
*nod of approval*
Removed glowing indicator from single-screen launcher, added three wide launchers.
What is a wide launcher?

See the screenshot. Widgets, the dock, dock icons, dock divider, and app grid fills more of the screen. I didn't know what else to call it. Since it's a launcher, and everything is spread out over a wider area, the most logical short name I could think of at 2AM was "wide launcher".

Awesome, margins would be a bit better if smaller.
Also I noticed that the top right corner of the screen glows as you move between home screens and when you press that corner Google voice search comes up. It's as if the search bar is still there, just not visible.

I just followed the directions on that tutorial and thought I'd share what I did for myself. That's really weird, and not good. Thanks for telling me. If I can't figure out how to completely disable the search bar, I'll just take this whole thread down.
Update: Actually I think I've got it. Testing now, then I'll take down all the links, fix them all, then reupload them
I searched but didn't see anything on this.
There is a blue pull tab thing on the left hand side of my screen. I want it gone, but can't find out how to get rid of it.
Thanks!
There's a ton of threads already on this. ..

It allows you to access the multi-window feature of the NII, for accessing 2 apps at the same time.
To be fair its not a particularly well advertised feature and with little to no instruction a lot of people won't know what it is for.
But it is for split screen mode.
You can drag apps to the top of bottom part of the screen from that bar to run two apps side by side.
Hi all I accidentally activated a semi circle tab on my note 2. When I swipe the blue semi circle tab.. a column with 8 apps appear at the side of the screen..
This semi circle tab can be shifted to the top or bottom and left or right of the screen.. can someone advice me where to disable it?

that's the multi Window feature of this beast. Hold the back touch button for a second, the tab will disappear. If it's there, you can open 2 apps at the same time in a split screen fashion. Try it out. Works like a charm.

What happens when the 1/2 moon won't dissapear no matter how long you hold the "back" button? Shall you call me a noob or average joe? Maybe just answering an honest question should be enough to swell your head a touch eh?
Replying to a dead 10 month old thread just to mock someone doesn't make you look any more intelligent then the one you were replying to.
If you are having troubles disabling the multi-window feature open Settings> Display> take the check out of Multi-window.

Fallenkirmit, well even though the post might be a bit old it get's veiwed by many who Google their issues. My 6yr. old boy was telling me how rude it was for him to act that way towards the OP, so I thought about the time frame and yet thought of all those other people that may not ask a question because of reading his responce or those that might or do respond now on Forum's. Thank
you for your kind responce. Just looked and I don't have Multi-Window listed under Device catagory then selecting Display.
If you want to completely disable it, it should be in system settings / display / multi-window feature, uncheck. If its not there then perhaps its not Multi-Window your having issues with. Are you on a TouchWhiz based ROM?

Hello all.
My problem right now is concerning the T mobile Note 2 home button.
When my phone is off, and I press the home button to open the phone (I have no lock screen, it opens up directly), the phone opens up the recent menu. Before, my phone would just light up and stay on the home screen and not pop up the recent apps side bar thingy. If I use the power button to open the phone, it's fine.
How do I fix this?
Right now I'm running: Jedi Master 14.
I know before my phone was working just fine on Jedi 11 or 12.
Is it a rom bug ? or hardware problem?
Thanks!
I don't know if this is a bug or hardware, but I have the same issue. When I'm at home I have the lock screen disabled, and when I press the home button it takes me to recent apps, and I'm on stock ROM, stock kernel, just rooted.
It's a bug of sorts - I had to add in a little smali stuff to make that stop.
