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?

[Q] What one app would you recommend, and why?

List any app, with your uses, etc.
Please make each post a separate app.

Swiftkey
Improves on the keyboard. Makes life and typing so much easier. Typing efficiency is enhanced greatly! One of the best investments since you will be using your phone's keyboard a heck of a lot.

Hmm, tough choice. My first choice probably would be Root Explorer. Can browse all files, edit protected files and move stuff around like files and folders.

Tablet Talk.
I use it on a daily basis to send messages instead of my phone directly.

+1 for SwiftKey - SO much better than stock keyboard.
I also use wallbase a lot, I used to have a hard time finding nice hd wallpapers for my phone now I have way too many.

Swiftkey is absolutely stellar. Its predictive abilities paired with how it learns your language makes it a must have. Additionally, the swiftkey swype beta adds gesture based typing if that is your preference.

swype beta has more languages its faster to use (my opinion)
Register here and they will send you a installer link
http://beta.swype.com/android/create/

I would definitely recommend getting Swype, it's changed the way I type on touch screens with gesture typing. The biggest draw back for swype is the way it gets distributed and the non-existent advertising.
Swiftkey flow might not be as amazing to everyone if Swype was available on the Play Store since day 1.

Hyped music - like spotify but free and you can make streaming playlists. Also Facebook contact sync - pretty self explanatory but also has high def pictures which is very nice.

S memo

Where can I get an s memo apk for t889?? Any help will be appreciated....
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium

here.. just pulled it out of my system/app
QuickSnote.apk or do you need the actual app for S note

What's the difference?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium

I believe one is for the popup note(where you double tap the screen with spen) and other one is the actual app where you open it up and make memos

I was gonna pickup on 4 shared but don't know what version to pick up

Would I be able to flash an S-pen apk. on an ASOP rom and have it work?
That's the biggest reason I dont choose to run AOKP and such. I use the S-pen features alot but I love the speed, feel, look of 4.2.2
Wish I could have both in one ROM!

What keyboard do you use?

I love the stock one but the lack of auto correct is killing me.
I love swiping on Swype but typing on it sucks.
Love typing on swift key but the Swype feature is really slow and the app feels laggy at times.
Tried a Maher jelly bean keyboard but I kept missing the space bar when typing.
Running out of options lol

Try GO KEYBOARD. I'm using that right now and it has excellent auto correct and predictions.

I was using the Swype that came with our S4's; but a reflash of Wicked v1 and I lost my backups somehow, so lost Swype since Wicked doesn't have it. I went ahead and bought the one from the Market for $0.99, "Swype + Dragon" in the app drawer - I love it. Predictions are great, swyping is fantastic, I've even gotten around to picking at the keyboard without too many typo's.
I miss the old Swype where the numbers where in the center, instead of across the top - but eh, it's whatever. I still like it.

Press and hold the 123 key on the Swype keyboard....that should give you the numeric keypad....just FYI, in case you weren't aware

I've used both Swiftkey and Swype and they both work fine for me. It's really up to personal preference. Although, now that I'm on Wicked, I'm in your boat and will have to decide which one I'd like to pay for. Decisions decisions...

S Pen on CM and Non TW Roms

Does anyone think its possible to use pie controls to show a few user defined apps when removing the S Pen? I would be using in conjunction with Note Buddy, I'm just trying to get similar functionality as you would on a TouchWiz ROM.
Thanks!

Man that seems like a pretty sweet idea. I'd be interested to know this too.

Hopefully a dev could pick the idea up and bake it into one of these awesome ROMs!
