[Q] Install onscreen buttons, like Galaxy Nexus & Nexus 7

I know there was a way to disable the buttons on the Galaxy Note 8.0 which was good, but it got pretty annoying when i had to pull out the stylus to go back a page. Is there a way to install the onscreen buttons that are similar to the nexus 7 and Galaxy Nexus? I don't mind losing screen space, but it annoys the hell out of me when i type in landscape and my finger or hand would brush across those buttons and mess up what i'm doing. i would like nothing more than to install a second row of buttons while getting rid of the ones the built on, well maybe retain the main button. But hopefully there is a way to install it on the galaxy note 8.0, such as a simple flash or install of an apk.

Since no one knew the answer to my question I decided to check out YouTube and one of their videos similar to disabling the capacitive buttons allowed me to install on screen buttons. Now my note 8.0 feels like my nexus 7.

Yes. In your settings there is an option for Users. You can add multiple users in there.

no no you can't

You can hack it but out of the box there is not more than one user on 4.2.2... not sure what the other guy is talking about. U can add it but it's annoying and I'm hoping they pull their head out in 4.4.2... if not I'll be very annoyed.

Just got my Sprint Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 2 days ago. Not rooted, out of the box. Android 4.2.2, AMH9 build. Went to Setting, there is an option for Users (under Application manager). When you select it you can add users with the Add user button on the top right corner. When you turn the device off and back on there will be user boxes on bottom middle of the lockscreen. Unless mine came hacked out of the box, I would say it is possible.

Ahhh I didn't read the model. Sorry about the bad info it happens. I have the 10.1 didn't realize samsung would be so stupid to add it to one version of the device and not another. That is just amazingly lame. I assumed they would have a standard across the line. I'm really regretting buying the 10.1... Yea I want a bigger better tablet with less features. Idiot samsung.

Does the Tab S have a proper dialler

Dont know why it is so hard to find this info online but can someone confirm whether the 4g/LTETab S can be used as a big phone i.e it has a normal dialler just like a phone (when used with a sim card of course).
Thanks

Yes it does

It's a phone on steroids + a whole lot more

The tab s 8.4lte I think has the phone speaker near the camera in which you can use vs the tab s 10.5 doesnt

Anyway to pull the apk? I could use bluetooth on the rare chance that I need to use the dialer.

from what i know US carrier don't allow phone capabilities on tablets, so that tab s with a dialer, is it an exynoss international version? does it get LTE from t-mobile and at&t? does the snapdragon version have a dialer? if i buy a US carrier version can I add a dialer and text apps that will actually work with my phone number? lol
man are these tablets over price for the old technology they come with. a note 3 is better. that screen though that screen!

Hello,
I am new to Samsung and have a question.
Previously I have been an HTC user, and was able to restore a Developer version (HTC ONE) ROM to a At&t (HTC One) through TWRP.
So is it possible to flash a non At&t STOCK ROM to my At&t Note 4?
And also how would I go about rooting manually. CF-autoroot not available for the At&t version.
Thanks..

Nasvi, due to that att's bootloader is locked we are unable to flash any sort of custom recovery. As for root, I'm also hoping that someone finds root soon. It could take a while for a work around to getting a custom recovery, as it took the ATT G3 around 3 months for a workaround. If your looking for an alternative, I would get an international or the tmo note4. Hope this helps.

Will someone who has the ATT Note 4 run a carrier iq detector and post the results? Thank you so much!

Sorry to tell both of you AT&T = no root access. I did want to att but going to get the Tmo. Why because of this guy here>>>

Where is root and driving mode? Does this phone support a usb dac?

Carrier name in top left
Does anyone know how to remove the 'AT&T' that always displays in the top left corner of the screen on the top bar? It's annoying. I tried looking through settings but not sure if I found anything that could turn it off.

Need Root access to remove the carrier ID

bootloader:
New to the forums here. Will AT&T unlock the bootloader of an individuals device if they pay it off?

No.

Is it just me or do you find yourself hitting the back button more often. Sometimes for me it doesn't seem to register after the first hit. I have to hit it a second time to get it to go back.

How do I set the internet browser to open links in new tabs and I stay on the current page? I know this was a setting on my S3, but cannot find it on my Note 4.

How to reach items on the keyboard?
On the keyboard each item has what on other keyboards might be thought of as "ALT" symbols. As an example "n" might have a ";" in the upper right corner. However if you use the capital the small "n" becomes a capital "N". As there is not an "ALT" key I cannot figure out how to reach those figures.
Thanks (you said nothing too stupid after all)

S Pen
Does the S pen on the Note 4 work with the back button? I know it didn't on the Note 2 and that always bothered me.
Thanks

Nice, that's the only thing I didn't like about the Note 2, just seemed like such a waste not to have included it. Now if my pre-order would just come in. Thanks

There are two ways you can use those alt symbols.
You can hold the button ie "n" has "," with the symbol you want and it will bring up the alt symbol.
If you hold "n" down it will pop up "," and you can insert that into what you are typing.
The other is switch to the symbol keyboard bottom left of the keyboard there is a Sym button tap that and it will switch to the symbols keyboard. There are 2 pages 1/2 and 2/2.
To return to ABC tap ABC.

There is one simple option I have been digging for since I got mine several days ago and still cant find it. Where is the option to enable multiple widgets on the locKscreen? This option was under lockscreen settings on my s4, but isnt on the note 4, cant find it under any of the settings.

no rumour, sammobile tweeted " Lollipop will be released around March/ April "

So how will Lollipop work given the buttons that are available on the Tab S e.g. Home , previous apps and Back buttons?

I don't see how its a problem. All the Samsung phones have the same arrangement of buttons. Verizon has already released it for the Galaxy S5.

How do you disable those keys? And do you need to reboot to make this active or could it be done on the fly? They do bother me when I'm holding the tablet (10.5) in portrait mode.
I'm also using GMD gesture on tablets, much easier than using those buttons.
Edit: never mind, just found there's a thread about it.

Why don't you just root it and ROM it blisspop

I don't think it's possible without rebooting
You have to edit 'generic.kl' file in /system folder, of course you need root
