I have been using switchr on my mega for ages as it's such a fluid way to switch between apps by sliding in from the right or left. It makes even more sense on this device rather than trying to goto the bottom buttons each time.
You can get switchr for free from play store there is a pro version but you can try it out.

Will try
Thanks for the heads up on this application. I am looking to purchase the Note Pro and this might be just what I am looking for to cycle between Power Point, VNC, and the Whiteboard.
No worries how this is not baked in I don't know it's such simple and useful you can choose by arc like in screen shot tab swipe in a row or like windows 8 by sliding apps in from left or right many customisable options

This is awesome! You're right, with the sheer size of this device it makes so much sense to use this rather than the physical button.
Thanks for pointing this out.
Your welcome

In addition to Switchr, I'm also using (and highly recommend) Button Savior (non-root).
Button Savior adds a small tab that pops out with back, home and other function buttons. (Paid version is highly customizeable). I was finding it annoying to also have to reach so far for the back button, but this is a nice solution. Now with Switchr and Button Savior in tandem theres no reliance on any hard buttons.
Funny I was thinking about the back button would be handy I'll check this out I did email the dev of switchr to be able to pin back button to the arc like you can with the home button. This may do thanks

Is swipe down to close working for anyone? I'm using Flow setting and although I get the visual red feedback at the bottom the application I'm attempting to close does not close.
As much as I'd like to use Arc it's just not enough icons for my taste.
I may go back to Swapps even though development for it is dead.
The note has this built in. at least the 10.1 2014 You can move it wherever and it has home back Zoom notification Shade etc. pretty cool plus no extra apps installed

He mentions in his thread that he is updating swipe down to close as it broke in last build he normally has updates once or twice a week

Nice. Thanks for pointing this out. The Note PRO 12.2 has this as well. I just wish it could be customized. For me, the trigger is way too big and it's slow. Sticking with Switchr + Button Savior combo as they work perfectly.

Yeah, I gave up on Switchr a long time ago.
I now use GMT Gesture Control which is much better for me. I've got a bunch of gestures set up to launch apps or do things that I want to do.

Normal black lockscreen. I open Dolphin to a webpage and hit the power button. Now on my lockscreen I have the settings dots showing through. Anyone else?
That's not a Glitch,Almost all apps have that function,It's so you can jump right back to what you were doing,as soon as you tap it,it will unlock the screen & bring you into your current app

No ****? I don't use a lot of Apps. The only one installed currently is Dolphin on my GN. Neat feature.
it actually is a glitch/bug.
normally the menu buttons should be hidden when you lock the screen, but due to a bug, they don't.
there is no reason for them to be there, as a simple unlock of the screen brings you back.
so this is a bug/glitch and hopefully it will be fixed.
One for and one against. Anyone care to be the tie breaker?
Hi I currently own a galaxy nexus and I'm really missing my gs2. I am looking to get a gs3 and when I went to the mobile store I noticed that when pressing the home button from any open app there was a slight lag to get to home screen. Is this just normal for this phone or is the display model borked? I've own the gs2 and SBS and home screen button never was that slow at returning to the home screen. Any input would be nice before I purchase this phone.

It's in S-Voice settings.
Oh SK its how the sgs2 was? Nice. Then I am getting it for sure. Been keeping up with the threads here and not much negative stuff . The gnex is nice but the volume is too low and WiFi and connectivity issues are killing the pure android experience. Updates aren't worth dealing with that. Even with custom Roms there are issues.

Is anyone else having problems with Google Car Home (or any other car home apps) not overriding the default launcher?
On my Nexus S, running CM10, it worked great.
On the N4, running CM10.1, if I launch Car Home and then hit the home button, it takes me to my default launcher (Nova, same as my Nexus S).
Just wondering if this is what other people are experiencing, or if there is a car home app available that will properly override the launcher on the N4.
I'm running the latest Google Car Home available, 2.2.1.4
Thanks!
I believe that it is a known problem. I just use the multitask button instead of the home button. Just adds one more press...

For me when I try the multitask button, and go into another app, Car Home is no longer selectable.
The notification icon is still there, but that will just close the app.
So there is really no way to leave Car Home and get back to it.

I just relaunch it, unfortunately. Officially, Car Home has not been supported since GB (IIRC). It's a shame, too, since I really like using it. I have also found that it's better to let Car Home time out when going back to the main launcher (that is, if you're using BT to start/close Car Home) since the launcher FCs when closing Car Home manually (at least in stock JB).
I just use a car widget.. Works pretty well..

Hi,
Have noticed when trying to trace an image with my s-pen on the screen with the button pushed that sometimes it just doesn't seem to "take" and capture the image even though I have traced all the way around to the little beginning circle. This seems to happen mostly if I am tracing a smaller image.
Am I doing something wrong or is this just a bug? If it is a bug is there a way to fix it?
SECONDARY QUESTION:
It seems the only way to crop out a square image is to do a screen capture by pushing down the s-pen button and pressing it to the screen then using the crop tool. However, it would be nice to be able to actually draw a perfect crop square in the same way we do a trace capture. Is there any combination of buttons that does that?
I have noticed on my Note 10.1 tablet that I can trace an image in one multiview screen then just drag the into s-notes in the other pane and it pastes. However, with the GN2 this "drag and drop" doesn't seem to work. Am I doing something wrong?
Last thing. Have noticed that on my Note 10.1 I can do a screen capture of the active multiview pane; however, with the GN2 it seems to capture both multiview panes then squishes the entire capture into one pane. Again, am I doing this wrong or is that a bug?
Thanks!
for perfect squares, well and now everything I have been lasso'ing a larger area and then using the photo editor app to crop them down ...for the reason that I noticed the longer I take to get a clean lasso the less chance I have of it working.
Interesting find on the screenshot deal. If I take a screen shot by hand swipe it is normal. Taking it with the pen results in squished screen.
As for the drag and drop I swear it worked out of the box...then the ljc update changed it but I could be wrong. I just know it does not work that way anymore. Similarly I recal draggingbthe lasso'd image to say messaging in the icons at bottom of screen ...now after the update I just hit messaging

I guess the point is that there are a number of things which work as they should on the Note 10.1 that don't seem to work that way on the GN2. It's not a screen real estate issue so I'm not sure what the problem is.
Just seems kind of buggy to me, especially the tracing part.
My Note 10.1 came with a specially designed version of photoshop but I'm not seeing that on my GN2. Am I missing it? I guess I just expected these to be close to the same except smaller. Maybe not.
For instance on the Note 10.1 in multiview each pane gets its own Min, Max and Close buttons but not here. Odd.

I know about those who but they aren't the same. On the Note 10.1 each frame has its own buttons which remain persistent. Like in Windows. Much better.

I find it works best to hold the button, draw your shape/circle then lift the pen with the button still held... works every time.

I use it for quick access to necessary apps while I'm out n about on my bicycle. music maps etc its not as valuable as say is you were on nexus 7 but its a awesome jedi feature. I use it without the info showing because I like using the s pen thanks b whoever posted those awesome Hover point icons. If your feeling pie I recommend you checkout a app called relaunch1

why not just show your screen caps?
I've set it up with basic buttons like, back, home, recent apps, menu. I always use it coz it just appears on the side or bottom screen so i don't have to look down to press home or whatever.
POWERED by FROSTY!
Yeah ive tried it for all those things, found that the integrated phone features were easier and more user friendly. I like the feature and idea, just need the proper functionality for it.
