How To Make Your Multitasking A Lot Faster And More Convenient [needs root]

Like many of you, I love my S3. One thing I HATE is the multitasking implementation. Holding the home button for 2 seconds is tedious and slows down the experience of a blazing fast phone
I have managed to overcome the problem and thought I'd share it in case this issue was frustrating others too. Essentially, it allows you to tap the bottom right hand corner of the screen to bring the multitasking bar up. This can easily be done with one hand, and I find makes using the phone a lot faster
Steps:
- Download GMD GestureControl (there is also a free version, although I am not sure if this will 100% work on that)
- Swipe right to 'custom gestures'
- Set up like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
That's about it!

[Q] Call Notification Window - Option Not Available?

Hello all,
I've search around the internet for this but have yet to find anything, I have the T-Mobile SGN3 (hopefully like most everyone else on this particular board). I'm right now on 4.4.2, I am on the Wicked ROM and not the stock rom (although I have tried on the Stock ROM also and not seen this)
The feature that I'm looking for is the Call Notification Window, as seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejdTRrzX_Zk
For the life of me I can't find anything on this other than "it should be there"
I found some script mods you can do for the S4 to enable it but I don't know why the option is not available in the T-Mobile device.
Hopefully someone out there has seen this and has experience.
Thank you!

Press the phone icon,>> then menu >>>call settings >> now tick Incoming call notifications ...

run 2 apps on screen at same time

Is it possible to run 2 different apps on screen at the same time , like say youtube and chrome . I'm not sure if the phone has the feature

Well, there is an option to run two instances of one app. So you can use two whats app accounts. And with Nougat update you can set split screen in "Recent Apps" menu by dragging one app to the top of the screen and choosing an other one for the bottom of the screen.

Possible in Android 7.

How do you actually do this? Can you tell us please?

You have two options.
1. Open both apps, as you said YouTube and chrome. Click back/finger print soft button a bit for multi tasking window, click top of one app and drag till the taskbar and release your finger, there you have it.
2. Open the above two apps, or more. Slide the bottom part of screen to reveal on screen navigation bar if you have disabled it. Click and hold multitask button for a bit. That's it.

S-Pen Software not working properly

Not sure why but the software for the S-pen doesn't work for the always on display and the pop up that came up when you took the pen out of the phone when the display was already on. It doesn't come up either but the phone makes the noise that it's supposed to when the S-pen is removed. I'm guessing I updated some Samsung apps that affected this. Anybody have this happen. The pen still works when I open up Samsung Note manually or hit draw from a screen shot.

Try to trun off always on display and see if that works.

Also check your S pen settings. I turned the screen off memo option off and phone reacted as you described.

This worked. My screen off memo wasnt on. Never knew how to get to the S-pen settings. Now I do. Just type pen in the search. Thanks for your help!!!?

Question Is there any way to disable the "tablet flag" in the inner screen?

The external screen behaves as a regular phone screen, but the inner/main/foldable screen behaves as a tablet screen, which changes some apps behavior a bit. For example Opera shows tabs in that mode, unlike the fullscreen layout of the "phone mode", and Youtube does not go fullscreen when you turn the phone, instead it just rotate the video screen (like a webpage).
Is there a way to force the "phone mode" in this screen? IMO it is not big enough to act as a tablet.

I don't think that setting tells Android that you want phone resolution so that apps present differently. This setting is more for Samsung-modified apps and global settings screens can split navigation, erc.

It was exactly that, unfortunately I also liked the split view in some apps
Thank you Atthorpe.

Right?, I wish they would make it so we could choose which we wanted per app
