I have gone through the note 2, note 10.1, and note 8.0 (for me and my wife), and one thing I liked was the mini apps, such as the popup calculator.
I do not see this option on the note 8.0 and wondered if anyone knows if there is a way to activate it, add the apk, or mod it to include this function.
You need root to do this, then you need a custom rom, with 4.1.2 firmware is possible to enable all apps floating, in 4.2.2 is possible to enable navigation bar with some mini app (calculator included). Is also possible to enable floating windows but adjustements are needed

Is possible to have the expanded desktop feature (I love it with Sygic navigator and for browsing) in the stock rooted 4.2.1 ROM?

I have used hidebar on my non-cm'd tablet and find it quite good. There are reviews from people with the GN too, so should work. You get a nice popup menu to get your home/menu/back button back without having to show the bar again to...

Nice find!
Also GMD Hide Bar works fine. The best would be a power button integration...

Recently my girlfriend got me new note 8.0 as she said my old tab was sluggish. As a first time Note user shifting from tab 7.7, I found that there are few things that I couldn't find in my note 8.0 like:
1. No quick app task bar - I quite used to open calculator from the task bar and it would come out as a floating pop up window, I could easily drag the window anywhere and closed it once I was done with it.
2. Cascade view multiwindow - As I was using note 8.0 erobot ROM with multiwindow MOD
Is there any shortcut or anything that I can change somewhere? I have tried to look around but still can't find it.
Thank you.

i'm actually the user that ported the multiwindow mod to the 7.7 originally...if u want the same exact experience u had on the P6800 the u can use my mod in the link below BUT unfortunately it only works on 4.1.2 so u would need to downgrade if you're on 4.2.2. If its ONLY cascade mode that u want then its possible to mod the flashbar (left side quick app task bar/multiwindow launcher) to have the dual/cascade mode buttons u are used to seeing in the minimode panel/nav bar...since the left launcher is the default multiwindow mode for the note 8 then i assume that what u want is the bottom quick apps task bar/minimode tray launcher that u have been using on the 7.7 which means u should follow the link below

For the floating calculator? I use pie launcher and aircalc. I swipe from the left to bring out the pie and slide to air calc. Pretty fast too for like 20 of my favorite apps (including floating stickies and evernote and the floating voice recorder). I also use overlay launcher set as a launch point just at the level of the volume rocker so it's different from the lauch area of pie launcher, Use it for specialty apps like tasker and shortcuts to "activities".Then for swiping from the right I use swapps for an alphabetized quick launch bar. Most 1 gig ram tabs and phones find this hard to handle but the note 8 breezes through.
Multiwindow cascade? I'm planning to do that too but still enjoying stock for now...want to wait it out for that new magazine UX that's replaced touchwiz UX on samsung tablets. I hope it makes it to the note 8 during the next update...

Yes, I am actually using your multiwindow mod and like it very much on my tab 7.7. About the tray launcher, Is it possible to make it hidden for note 8.0? Is it compatible with N5120? I feel that the good thing about note 8.0 screen, it isn't block by the task bar like at tab 7.7. I'm still learning to use Note 8.0, but sometimes I miss some part of tab 7.7 that I am already getting used to it. Thanks! :good:

I just downloaded aircalc and tried to use it for my note, but I feel the ads was so annoying, I previously used realcalc and like it so much, thanks for your suggestion :good:
I am coming from a tab pro, with floating multi windows. Did Samsung remove this awesome feature on the new flagship tablet? Or am I missing the switch to turn it on?

Please!, anyone?, answer to this question!
It seems they did remove this feature. I have the tab s t800 WiFi with lollipop and tried multiwindow plus (Google it) and to my surprise it restores some of this functionality. Give it a try at your own risk as it says it is incompatible with my tablet but still works.
I also found two other useful apps. MW-Pen App Enabler (allows you to alter the app without root to have ig work as a popup or 4 way window) and MW Commander which llows you to add an app to the multiwindow side bar (I believe this one may require root).
Anyone successfully install? I haven't tried yet.
yeah i had it installed with a few mods. nothing is really made for the tab yet though so I uninstalled it. I used this gs5 mod to remove the s finder and connect buttons in the drop down.

It would be cool if someone got around to creating an app specifically for the Tab S lines. Kind of like how there is G2 Tweaksbox for the G2. Thanks for the s finder/connect tip.
yeah i love the g2 Tweaks apps. use them daily.

I'm using it with Wanam. Only changed a few things. Changed battery to circle, center clock with date, changed quick settings toggle color, using a pic for pull down background and changed the text on the lock screen. Haven't noticed any problems.

I also used xposed g-touchwiz to remove the finder and connect buttons..and pictures2sd enabled rw to all apps
Is there any trick/tweak that enables you to drop down the top bar (wifi, data, gps, etc) while the tablet/phone is still locked?
Ohh.. and one to disable the 'sd card inserted' message at start would also be nice ..
Thx
I wanted to share this app that I have been running my Verizon Note Pro.
Note 5 goodness on the Note Pro. I tested it on my lollipop Verizon variant.
This amazing app is by @xperiacle which gives us the Screen off memo, without unlocking the screen. The lock screen pops up for just a second before the black memo screen pops up but this is as close as we are going to get to the awesomeness that is the Note 5 screen off memo. I am linking the thread so you go there and thank him and get the app.
Make sure you do the following after install:
1. Give the app security admin under settings, then security, then device admin
2. Change s pen detachment option to none.*
3. Run the app once.*
3. You are ready to go!!
I use my tablet for work a lot to take quick notes and this app works like a charm. Try and out and post your thoughts.

Are you rooted? Running Xposed?
Force screen orientation to landscape with App Settings module.
Or just install HaveOwnOrientation so kinda no matter what you have open on your screen, it will rotate anyway you turn your device to.
For me this works landscape and I believe HaveOwnOrientation makes the magic, but can't be sure.
I got Pac Man Rom and SPen isnt part of OS like TouchWiz, but as extra app can be usefull.
