Dear Expert
This may be my personal preference and complaint hope this Q&A helps other users too.
I was used my touchwiz devices and used S-pen and s-memo, more extensively than most average users.
I even had chance to experience note 3 from my girlfriend, I used note I and II previous. Now, I switch out to Nexus and got Galaxy note 10.1 2014 edition. I couldn't help but feel very familiar to note 3. It felt really same the screen showed improvement but it just felt like they just moved everything from note 3 right onto 2014 note 10.1 if anything it felt really buggy. Buggy as my old 1st at&t tab 7.
---main concern: never were a fan of physical home button. Aesthetic point of view it may be hit or miss. I still don't know how it would look w/o it but the glossy, plastic-ky material is bigger issue. Home button is annoying reading or using in portrayed mode, a lot of review on internet mentioned it. Q1. does anyone know how to disable this? this isn't my priority.
Q2. (LIKE IN THE TITLE) I want to put to NAVIGATION BAR like nexus or like the old honeycomb devices so i'll have home, back maybe even menu at any orientation. I see people experimenting with rooted app / ROM but I was looking for stock option.
Q3. coming from using note 1 and 2, PAGE BUDDY. I saw twitter's "COVER" lock screen. it seems like a alternative but I would like permanently set layout whenever there's an action. Anyone find app alternative or repack .apk ?
lastly, can anyone point out how to transcribe script into text on memo? like what action memo does. I don't like action memo. I like pen button, double tap on screen to launch quick note much better. They should have made s-note versatile instead of make that separate. I really don't like pen action. NOTE 2 is far advanced and easy in usability than any note device. I maybe tuned into it I'm wondering if there's any other user feel the same?
Q2:
What you could do is modify the build.prop before you flash the rom. You open up the zip file and activate softkeys then flash it. You won't be able to activate the buttons without root after the firmware is already on the device. I don't know if modifying the build.prop will trip knox.

I just purchased a Note 3 neo SM-N750K. Below the status bar I cannot select things with figure. Like create message on top right, Similarly I cannot change brightness too. But with S pen there is no problem.
I want to know is it a bug or it a normal feature of note 3 neo?
Hello, I just bought Note 4 and me previous phone was Note 1! Its a big change but some stuff isn't in Note 4 or maybe i dont know how to use it yet
First I want to use customized widgets on lock screen, I could do that in jellybean but in kitkat i cant put any widgets on lock screen and there I tried to Google it but couldn't find any options called "enable lock widgets" in security settings, its not there!
and I dont want to use and thrid party softwares like lockgo
2nd question is about S-Note software, in Note 1 I could type some mathematical equations, i dont see this option anymore in Note 4, and I could make Squares and Circles manually which isn't available too
That is a huge leap!
I don't know about lockscreen widgets, as I never liked, nor used, them, but my guess is Samsung ditched them because they won't be in Android 5.0. Instead, we'll get notifications on the lockscreen, which I think will be infinitely more useful. I do know how to get S Note to recognize formulas, though:
Open S Note. Write a formula with the S-pen (or your fingers). Then, select it using the selection tool at the top. (It will tell you which tools are which if you hover the S-pen over them.) Then, click Transform Into when the menu pops up. Finally, click formula.
Ok thanks for the answers, i have one more question
I could use a wide wallpaper and when you move your home screen it extends to far right and left so you could see more of the wallpaper but now its always fixed picture,I tried to use some other software from Play but none of them worked

You're welcome, and as far as I know, it would take root to change that. Maybe someone else knows something, though.
I was watching a review video to see what the Tab S had over the Tab Pro. On the Tab S the menus are all dark themed and I find the menus on the Tab Pro to be so blinding with that bright white. I'm guessing there is no official way, but I thought maybe someone had made a tweak for it once rooted. I did a quick search though and found nothing.
I have read about some people swapping out the system_ui.apk from the note 3, and replacing it in the tab 8.4 so in theory it the tab s system_ui.apk might work on the tab pro.. though I wouldn't attempt it unless you have some sort of recovery options available like CWM and ADB just in-case something goes wrong --
I know some-people have also used the Tab S touchwiz launcher on the tab pro, there is a thread somehwere on these forums, will edit this message if I manage to find the links again
Hello edge users,
Been playing around with the edge screen sdk and just thought I would share with you a simple panel I made called Edge Air Command which serves as alternative to the stock air command menu. The app requires root access. Just download below, install, activate and grant root access if required.

Smart Select and Image Clip requires root access as they are allowed to be launched only by system level permission. Action Memo and Screen write does not require root access.
Finally, Great and an innovative idea ! This makes things a lot easier. I can see myself getting used to this. Let's put a theme on it with some colored icons ? So it doesn't look the same as the internal aircommand.
Thanks @xperiacle

The truth is I only made this and tested on an emulator as I don't have a note edge to test with so I just used the stock icons but if somebody can give me some icon replacements and color scheme suggestions then I might update it to allow a certain level of theming on it.

For a moment there, I was overjoyed guessing that you have got a hold of a Note Edge - as we have a very few Dev's on this side of the world.
I have attached a screen of my stock air command which I have replaced the icons (inside drawable folder) of, with some stolen icons from some theme in some part of the Note 2 forum 2 years ago.
I will extensively test your app and I will give you a feedback on what needs to be fine tuned. If there is a separate channel for you to obtain feedback, do post here. Otherwise I will post as a reply here.
Once again , cheers to a great start!
Awesome app, and awesome idea. I just can't see myself using it since Verizon won't let me root my phone, so I can only access 2 of the features.

Working fine on n915g.
Thanks dev.
Thanks.
Unable to use the smart select and smart clip. The other two work fine.
Rooted and app has been given root access.
Selecting these does nothing. Just get the SU toast that app has been granted access.
Tried rebooting. Anything I'm missing?
Note Edge N915G, Lollipop 5.0.1
Ver good idea
Hey @xperiacle,
I used the panel for quite sometime, and tried to get used to it as a mainstream daily app. I find the following points, which could be fine tuned.
1 - There is no indication that an option has been pressed, hence you end up pressing the same icon 3 - 4 times until the action appears.
[Solution] - Make the icons change colour / highlight / turn into gray-scale / etc.. as soon as an option is clicked
2 - When screen write is triggered, The Air command edge panel gets captured in the screenshot - blocking a thin line of your wallpaper
[Solution] - When Screen write option is triggered, the panel needs to collapse back / hide before the screenshot is captured (ref screenshot)
3. - I see some room for one more icon below -
[Solution] - make the empty spot configurable for a custom action / app / shortcut
I hope these tips^ help you in anyway to fine tune this app. All the best!
Hi @JazonX, are you able to use the smart select and smart clip functions?
Smart select and image clip not working for me either. 915T Stock Deodex....either way a great start and an awesome idea. Thank you
Root granted
Works just as it should on my N915FY.
Working on 915F/FY.
