Widgets not displaying on note 4 - Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok. I got my note 4 today and as usual, it's full on beast mode! Even though we don't have root yet, I'm in heaven.
Problem I seem to be having is when I go to add widgets on my home screens. They say they are added but when I get back to my homescreen, they aren't there. I've rebooted s billion times, rest the phone back to default and whatever else I can think of. It's not ALL of the widgets though. I've had it happen with widgetsoid, beautiful widgets and hd widgets.
Has anyone else had this problem or can soneonecekse on the note 4 try and duplicate this problem? I got my main homescreen totally blank because I can't add any of the widgets I use. I'm kinda depressed about it lol

Thanks. After about a day on the phone, I was finally able to get my widgets to stick. I'm not quite sure what this was all about lol

i have been having the same problem with my Note 4 been using beautiful widgets for years owned every galaxy and never had a problem until the note 4 can you please tell me how you got them to work . thanks

The only time it happens usually if the screen has no more space. The stock home screen is full because it has 4 wigets, weather which is 4x2 and google search that is 2x1. So there is no more space on that page.

Honestly, I got tired of screwing around with it and after 1 or 2 factory resets, it just started working. Not sure what was up with that, but thats all it took for me to get it going. Hope you get it to work

[Q] Wallpaper Frustration! (RAGE)

I'm literally at wits end with my wallpaper troubles. I've recently came from the Droid Incredible and have used tons of wallpapers with an app called Auto Resize wallpaper. The wallpapers ranged from 700x500+. AutoResizeWallpaper would fit the entire wallpaper on my phone without killing the quality.
The nexus is obvious a huge screen size but its driving me nuts how I can use a simple picture from my incredible on my nexus without crappy quality. I've tried other apps as well and just can't seem to get it like the incredible. How big does the ****ing image need to be for good quality and full size fit? Its driving me insane.. I have over 6,000 images and none fit the nexus like the premade versions.
Edit: at the moment I got an app working with my pictures. If anyone still has a better fix please let me know.

Have you tried an app called "wallpaper wizardrii"?
Edit: I used to use it on a few different devices but just made the UI crash on my g-nex and then loaded default jellybean wallpaper so not sure if it'll work or not..

Yeah.. anything I use just doesn't seem to work. But out of luck AutoResizeWallpaper is actually working at the moment. Normally it will cut the picture in half and decrease quality. So far its been fine.

Menu "dots" at bottom of screen

I have rooted my phone using Chainfire's root method and I was wondering if there was a way to turn off the menu dots at the bottom of the screen? Seems like a waste of screen realestate to have them there.

Got screen shot. Not sure how to insert it into message. Attached.
I think u need a different launcher. ..thays a touchwiz thing..
U can make less screens therefore less dots...on your home screen pinch to zoom and you can erase some screens
There's a setting to get rid of them, I can't recall where right now but I'm running TW and I have mine turned off.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
LRD, if you have yours turned off in touchwiz then it apparently can be done, but I havent come across it in any of the "settings" that I can find.
Thanks all.
Cause hes full of ****
●○●○takin a crap as we speak●○●○
The only way is to have only one page. Remove all the other ones and there will be no more dots.
Negitory....one screen will still have 1 dot
So... I'm gathering that there is not a way to do this in native TW or in any setting anywhere. And that's fine, just wondering if it could be done. Seems like a waste of screen realestate to take up half an inch or so with something that IMHO isnt used much.
I thought I saw a menu option to get rid of those but I must have been on another launcher. My bad.

You're too focused on what I say, why not put some of that energy into answering the op's question? Because the only reason you come on XDA is to bash someone... You're an angry little boy.

Use a different launcher. I bought nova launcher prime and its def worth the buy with the options you get. There is a free version and I used that on my skyrocket so I decided to just pay for it when I got my note 2.

Thanks to all. Tried Go Launcher once a few months back on my Galaxy S. Really slowed it down. I'll give Nova launcher a try. Thanks again.

How to get floating multi window

Disclaimer: I am not responsible if anything happens to your phone by following these steps nothing should happen but if something occurs dont come crying to me
First what you do it get exposed framework and install it (look up how to get it)apps shown in first picture.
Second thing is find android ui shown in second picture.
Third thing to do is change the resolution shown in the third picture you can change it to 600×1024 or 800×1280 doesnt matter which and dpi doesnt matter but you can change it to your liking
Fourth thing is hit the save button on top right and reboot and if done right the multi window should have a pin shown in fourth picture.
Fith thing is enjoy and if you followed these steps correct you have floating windows like in the fifth picture
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
One thing is I found out that recents wont come up by holding the home button may differ on yours but the way I got around it is using gmd guesture control and made my recents come up with 2 finger swipe up from bottom I like it better but that is the onpy bug I have found so far

That's not exactly what I meant. I knew it could do that, but I mean like actually minimizing the floating app, like how you do on a regular desktop OS. I remember I saw it somewhere on the International Note II forum, but I didn't know if it was possible on the AT&T version.
Your probly thinking of pop up browser... you can minimize it
After I make the change and reboot my lock screen is enlarged. Any suggestions?

Just browsing through xda and found this it looks wonderful on the Note 3. Take a look and try it out. I love it!

Thanks for sharing this. I actually discovered this a couple days ago & just haven't tried it.
Seems very cool. Only think that sux is. The long press home button doesn't turn on the flashlight anymore.. Running tweaked

Hmm... I wonder if that holds true for any lockscreen app. Most likely does... interesting though.
Yeah I agree, I don't use flash as much as I should. I'll email the devs to see if they're planning on doing widgets or some sort of gesture for flashlight. Turning the phone sideways triggers the camera which is cool.

New swift key beta

One of the things that I really liked about the note 3 coming from the s2 that the Samsung keyboard had a dedicated number row. I looked on the play store for an alternative to no avail. Today I found the new SwiftKey beta which has the option.

Changing that would require another 52 png files in the apk plus added code to eliminate the long press option.

Hate to see wasted space. Keep long press and replace numbers (in either first or second row) with Ctrl, tab, esc, [, ], % ^, ~, <, >
Would look ugly but be useful (for me)!
It's damn ugly now with the two rows of numbers... But I am so much happier with this keyboard.
Sent from my SM-N900T using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
I have to agree. They need to remove the extra numbers. This is a good first step. ?

NOTE 3
Was looking into modifying this keyboard. For some reason I can't recompile it, but I think I can modify that original row, removing the numbers for the long press of "QWERTY..." I've had some issues with newer apk's. I'm having an issue setting up the right environment using apktool 4.3.
That being said, I'm going to work on this tonight to see if I can at least get it to recompile.
For anyone interested, the files I think that need to be modified are res>xml>keyboard_layout_standard_qwerty.

Usual SwiftKey themes available.

definitely a step in the right direction (e.g., numeric keys) and i also like the option to reduce the footprint of the keyboard so it takes up less real estate (e.g., screen).

That was the first reason why I stopped using it back in the day. I will give it a try
NOTE 3
The emoji support on it is amazing, you can long press enter for the entire list, which is huge, and emojis will also pop up in the predictive text guesses at the top. The keyboard can also be detached from the bottom of the screen, resized, and it has full, thumbs only, and a compact layouts. This is the best keyboard out there imo.

Yea everyone has had a hard time so far with modding the new beta. Even when we fix the xml errors in styles, parsing errors follow.

The only annoying thing I've noticed is, with number row enabled, autocorrect doesn't take into account accidental number presses.
E.g. If I type n7mbers or sw8ftk3y6
Have u guys noticed lately that it makes ridiculous suggestions for words you have/would never use(d)? I have trending phrases turned off, and scan all accounts. Spend lots of time removing words. I hope they include an editable dictionary at some point.
Does anyone know how to make the emojis back to color like the Samsung keyboard please?
