I was wondering how to quit a program without using an app like taskiller. basically i'm using the Browser and pressed home screen to leave, but i want to quit the browser so it stops running...
Press the "Back" button. That is when you're inside an app and want to close it.
The behaviour of the "home" and "back" keys vary from application to application. Some quits, but the majority keeps running in the background. Some applications have an "exit" option from their menu, but that's just a few and most notably applications which normally are expected to do things in the background like maintaining connectivity to IM servers, checking for new mail etc. This is one of several inconsistencies which hopefully gets sorted in future android releases, accompanied by consistent recommendations in the dev-kit documentation.
From the Hero home screen, do this
Menu - settings - applications - manage applications - browser - force stop
Or you could stop treating your phone like a desktop computer and accept the fact that a) you can't run different apps in windows side-by-side and b) there is no point in closing windows. Android does the memory management for you.

I agree that android does the memory management very neatly, that's only when you are running very low on it... and what about the fact that the backgroung apps are draining the battery?? I think one really needs to get rid of unnecessary apps to improve battery life.

Background apps are SLEEPING, ie they ONLY take up memory, they hardly use any CPU time at all
Background apps can sleep and can also continue to work.
Just let the handset work its own management. Never had an issue with memory or slow downs but just leaving well alone.
If you want the browser to stop loading before you move to another app or go Home, just hit the stop loading icon in the address bar.
Is there a way to disable the double-tap zoom on the web browser for 2.1 root? It's very irritating since every time I tap on a text field, it auto double taps and zooms in. It is just very inconvenient for me.
Get a better browser...
Opera
Dolphin
etc
etc
What if I'm happy with the browser I'm using? I've tried other browsers and I just don't like them.
You clearly aren't happy with your current browser if its doing something you don't want it too...
Asking on here won't get you much else. I'm assuming you have checked the settings. What do you expect from us? There is no magic off button that is hidden away afaik.
FYI - try running the ACID3 test on the built in browser and then tell me you're happy with it...
I'm not sure exactly what this test proves, but I scored a 99/100 on the default browser.
It's just a little annoyance. I was only wondering if there was a way to do so that isn't within a normal method to disable.
I don't expect anything, I was just curious if someone had insight.
Ok folks, what Im going to do here is go through some of the major things I have noticed since installing the official ICS but before I do that, let me give my two sentence review.
Its nice. If you are wondering what the Note SHOULD have performed like on launch, this is it. MUCH improved scrolling, better performance and slightly more aggressive app handling.
Ok, I lied, three sentences.
Changes:
NOTE that I will NOT be covering changes to the launcher portion of ICS.
1. Overall performance is better. Using Go Launcher, with the app drawer set to 6x6, it scrolls MUCH more smoothly. The market scrolls much smoother, settings, the same. It isnt 'butter' but it is much more acceptable now, not stuttering to the point of overshooting apps.
2. Notifications menu now has two new toggles - Flight Mode and Power Savings. There is now also a fast Settings button that will take you straight into the Android Settings app.
3. The power menu (long pressing your screen on/power button) has had accessibility moved to the top of the menu (if you had this enabled) and now has a 'Reboot phone' option (YAY!!)
4. ALL system apps that CAN be linked to the market are now correctly linked. This means your list of installed apps will be a bit longer (when looking in the play store list) and also means that these apps will be able to be updated without manually searching for each one by one.
5. There are obvious signs of the original UI ICS all over the place, notably the spinning circle but you'll see it everywhere.
6. Improved battery life, for the amount I have used the phone, its at a much higher percentage than it normally would have been.
One quick point to interject, apps can now be disabled

I know this worked on some of the ICS roms, so I just looked and verified that even though you cannot uninstall some of the bloat (without root), you can disable it . For example, I can disable Swype and install Swype Beta now. I hate AT&T Navigator, so I disabled it. If it cannot be uninstalled, disable it.

Here are a few more that I just disabled, thanks for this tip
AT&T Navigator
Email (I use the gmail app)
Google+
Now. the rest of this is the stuff under settings. Im going to cover what I recognize to be new.
Under Settings:
First off, you'll notice that everything is now categorized into different groups now, making finding things in Settings a bit easier.
Wireless and Network
Tapping on Wifi or Bluetooth now takes you to the screens to configure the advanced settings for these features. Tapping 'On/Off' on the right side enables or disables the radios.
Data Usage
Here is where you can set up your billing cycle dates and put hard caps on your PHONE to keep your data usage under what your carrier allows. Fairly straight forward but make sure you set your billing date up correctly or this will be of NO use.
More
Here you will find NFC (YAY), Android Beam (send data between two devices using NFC), and Wifi Direct (connect two devices with a wifi antenna without the need for a router/hub).
Device
Call
Nothing new here, just a few things moved around a bit.
Sound
Again, nothing new, just shuffled a bit to make things easier to get to. Note that the menu button now no longer brings up any advanced settings here, they are all accessible by navigating the screen options.
Display
A few things moved around a bit BUT a new feature, Show battery percentage in notifications bar. NICE Also, Gyroscope Calibration is now an option.
Power Saving
Unchanged
Storage
Prettier but unchanged, a little bit more information but not much.
Battery
Unchanged
Applications
Unchanged, tho it should be noted that you can hit your menu button while in this screen to sort the list by Size
Personal
Accounts and Sync
Unchanged
Location Services
Unchanged
Security
Big one here but this is where you will find face unlock and even a voice recognition feature that can I believe be used in conjunction with another method to unlock your phone. I havent had much time to look at it yet.
Language and Input
Largely unchanged but its a bit more intuitive to change your keyboard now. And, for an interesting 'feature' that Samsung forgot to disable, Pointer speed, which has NO effect on our phone, this option is only for phones with a trackpad (Samsung forgot to disable this - made me smile).
Back up and reset
Nice, this option used to be buried under privacy and is now brought out into the main settings list. Much easier to find, it
System
Dock
Unchanged
Pen Settings
New option, Hovering pen icon (shows a pen icon over the screen where the pen is hovering)
One Handed Operation
3 completely new settings, to configure the calculator, dialer, and unlock pattern to be configured for use with one hand (clumps everything on one side of the screen so that you can say dial numbers with just your thumb rather than the usual having to hold the phone with one hand and dial with your other).
Date and Time
Unchanged
Accessibility
Two new options, Speak passwords. Havent had time to check to see if this works for unlocking the phone as well, but if it does, that would be silly. Tap and Hold delay can now be configured as well as allowing or disallowing the installation of web scripts.
Motion
New option, Double Tap to allow voice dictation easily. Sweet
Developer Options
Several new things you can make visible for the nerdy types but Im not going to cover them here since they are really only for developers .
About Phone
Unchanged
Ok, that should give you an idea of what to look for, if someone else wants to cover the touchwiz stuff (adding or removing widgets/icons/homescreens) I can add it.
Also, if there is anything I missed or got wrong...
Ok, one more new thing, the phone now charges correctly off your USB port, ie. charges faster.
Awesome write up! Do you have any idea how -- or if -- we can add app shortcuts to the lockscreen like the SGSIII?
PS: I have Widgetlocker but would prefer to use the system for this if possible.
Under Settings Developer Options you have the ability to adjust the Window Animation scale and also Transition Animation Scale.
When I set these to 0 then launchers like Go launcher behave much quicker.

My understanding is, one of the major improvements made to ICS is the ability to offload some of the processing to the processor / gpu depending on current load - ie. cpu is extremely busy at the moment so offload some processing to the gpu (or vice versa). Enabling this option I believe forces the gpu to handle everything regardless of the state of the cpu.
Reports have claimed enabling this option has mixed results. If the app supports gpu acceleration, you will see better performance. If it doesnt, the app will actually have worse performance and may actually crash the app in some rare cases. All ICS updated apps support this and chances are, if the software you have on your Note has been updated to support ICS, you have no issues.
So, the advice from the streets is to either keep is disabled and pretend you didnt see it or enable it and keep in the back of your mind that you might need to disable it occasionally for certain apps. The performance improvement is supposedly pretty minimal.

Yea, there are a couple of negatives about this however. Any native Android apps will loose some of the fancy 'little' touches (for example fading when going from one screen to another in settings). Some have reported however a small improvement in battery life doing this so its up to you. Persoinally, performance wise, I didnt notice anything differently with these set to 0. But then again, I have only one homescreen.
One other note, I just got off a 2.5 hour phone call from a full charge. Ended the call with 70% battery left. This is a HUGE improvement over GB where I likely would have been around 50% left.
not really usefull but in about phone, if you tap the android version a bunch of times you get a 8bit android in a icecream sammich.
also after the update I have no more black crush!!!

I am sorry to tell you that you are incorrect. Here is information about that toggle and other android graphics issues straight from the woman who designed the OS.
http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...I-C08yEO63mvHG6BQ&sig2=bamQd77PjEBd050c6s96EQ
TLDR:
Before ICS, android used the GPU to accelerate the animations of the windows, but it left the choice of how to render graphics inside the windows to the app developer. What the toggle does, is to force GPU rendering inside the windows, even if the app did not ask for it. There are two downsides to this forced rendering. The forced rendering can break compatibility. It can also increase memory usage unnecessarily.

bwwaahhhaaaa.... sorry but when I opened this thread it landed on you post.... and I read it out of context
Just received an email from Samsung saying to upgrade to ICS (did it via kies when 1st available). The email stated there is a newly introduced "Desktop View". This is for the default web browser.....
If you want to switch to "Desktop" browser mode, bring up the settings and select "Desktop view". So now its easier to switch between mobile and desktop browser modes.
Before you had to do "about:useragent"
Something to add to the OP; you can now also disable most stock apps.

Button Mapper on the Play Store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.homebutton&hl=en
If your device is rooted, you have complete ability to remap the Bixby Button. You can disable the Bixby assistant, it does not need to be enabled for this to work. There are no compromises with this method. You can get rid of Bixby and program whatever single, double and long press actions you want.
If your device is not rooted, you can still remap Bixby using an experimental method. This method also works with Bixby disabled, and will allow you to map whatever actions you like to a single press or long press. It requires running a command in adb shell once. After this, the Bixby button can be remapped with Button Mapper. A slight inconvenience, but it works.
If you don't like the stuttering that occurs on Samsung devices with certain Accessibility features enabled, got to Advanced Options and select "Remap Bixby only"

Are you using the Accessibility framework to detect keypresses? If so, that does impact scrolling performance. I also am working on a keymapper for BIxby that doesn't use the Accessibility Framework, and it works very well. If you're not using Accessibility, and you don't have any performance impact, I'd be happy to test this out and provide feedback (and probably stop my work)
EDIT: Yep, looks like Accessibility is used here, which kills scrolling performance (lots of stutters) when you listen for keypresses. I shall continue my work.

I could do it without accessibility. I'm just piggybacking on accessibility service since the rest of the app uses it.
I wish Samsung would fix that stuttering. It's not even when you listen for key presses, even an empty accessibility service causes that stutter. OnePlus used to have the same issue and they fixed it with a system update.
That's actually not quite true in my testing. The config that causes the slowdown is...
android:canRequestFilterKeyEvents="true"
If you have that enabled, regardless of anything else, it causes stuttering. Setting that to false causes the stuttering to disappear.

I haven't checked on the latest update, but any accessibility service caused it when I last tested. It was not specific to any setting.
On AQF7 with that flag disabled, all scrolling returns to normal.
does the button remap work when in lockscreen ?
update: Yup, it stutters. even stuttering in Button Mapper setting page.
The stuttering with Accessibility has been there all along. It's not just with the key filter turned on (I am also on AQF7), it's there with bxActions and other accessibility-based apps I've tried that don't filter keys. But you are correct it's not every Accessibility Service. I have an Accessibility service on another app (DevCheck) that does not cause stuttering.
In the end, there's nothing I can do about that stuttering, it will probably be fixed if Samsung updates to Android 7.1.
I would like to focus on the remapping part and how it works. I can make a Bixby remap that doesn't need accessibility, but first I need feedback on how the remap stuff is working. I can't root my S8, so I'm doing this partially blind and I depend on others to test things. The non-root part works perfectly, but is not easy to set up, so I want to see what kinds of problems people run into and fix them before I push this out of beta.

It does, yes. I would prefer your method if you could remove the need for accessibility, for sure.
I tested out as much as I could with your solution. Overall, things seem to work. Single, double, and long press all work. However, it doesn't reliably stay working. After screen off, or launching the camera, etc, it seems to stop working. If I relaunch Button Mapper, it works again.

Yes, I'll probably just make a separate app, since everything else in Button Mapper is tied to Accessibility.

Just opening the app, and more specifically, a warm launch of the app (the process was still live and not removed from memory).
I didn't adjust the screen off actions, so whatever your defaults are there was what I had set.
Thanks guys, this is the only button mapper which I could use without root, Bixby disabled.
I just pushed version 0.44, with some minor bug fixes and a new option to have smoother scrolling.
This new option can be toggled in Advanced Options->Experimental Options->Remap Bixby only. With this option enabled, you can remap Bixby without suffering from choppy scrolling. However, you will no longer be able to remap the volume buttons (because they require the Accessibility Service settings that cause choppy scrolling on Samsung phones).
Thanks, flar! Working well. Scrolling performance has returned to smooth.
One of the last issues I have is the "open recents" option is fairly slow to execute. I find using Accessibility Service that doesn't capture key events still maintains scrolling performance, but allows super quick "open recents" using Accessibility to call it.
Hmm, with this enabled, my battery life has significantly dropped and the phone is warm to the touch. Have you noticed any increase in battery life with this method? This may have existed before, I just didn't test it long enough to notice.
X Screen Stabilizer​
ROOT REQUIRED
XPOSED FRAMEWORK REQUIRED
If You don't know What is XPOSED Framework then do not try this application (it wont work)
Have you tried to read a book or an article like this while on a bus or walking down the street? I bet you tried! In this case you should notice that reading text in a such way is not a good idea since the screen constantly shakes. It seems that screen shaking is a big enough issue and eliminating it can promise a good UX. This application uses the device accelerometer sensors to compensate for and smooth out screen content shaking in the same way as DSLR camera stabilizes its sensors/lenses
It uses the concept defined in the below link
no-shake-screen-stabilization-android
but uses a different approach using Xposed Framework
Free : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vivek.xscreenstabilizer
Pro : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vivek.xscreenstabilizer.pro
Xposed repository : http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.vivek.xscreenstabilizer
Parameter Details
Velocity Friction : It is used to adjust the friction of the movement of the screen when walking. If the value is greater, the screen translation will be slower.
Position Friction : It is used to adjust the speed at which the screen tries to adjust to the normal position.If the value is greater, it takes more time to adjust to normal position
Low pass filter alpha : It is used to filter the acceleration force values from the sensor for the smooth positioning of the screen
Velocity Amplification : It is used to amplify the calculated velocity and use it to translate the screen
please try it out and provide your valuable comments
Oww Great ! Thank You Bro
after setting the velocity friction to 0 something it doesn't allow you to slide the switch, also how much would this increase battery drain?

It prevents you from copying and pasting if you are moving. the cursor keeps blinking.
Hi, nice idea for a module!
What differentiates the pro version? Ad removal / extra features, or just dev support?
Can you offer any extra information on exactly what each of the tweakable parameters do?

Now the pro version is just Ad Free.
The extra parameters are used to adjust the movement according to your walking speed.
I don' t know if I did something wrong, but it didn't worked for me. The device has AOSP 5.1 and I'm also using GravityBox and Android N'ify.
Very fun idea. You may want to hardcode some safe minimum and maximums on each setting and give it some sort of tendency to return to normal once movement subsides.
I lowered the velocity friction to zero and moved my phone around. The screen went off screen enough, I guess, that it couldn't return to center and the button to disable the module was not responding.
Also, maybe add a whitelist so you can pick to only have it activate while certain apps are in the foreground (browser, e-book readers). While it's neat for testing, having it constantly adjusting your screen when using your phone can be awkward.
Bravo for doing something new and creative!

I have checked the log. It is showing the sensor cannot be registered. Which is your device ?
is there any restriction in using sensors when using GravityBox or AndroidNify ?
I am using the sensor TYPE_LINEAR_ACCELERATION for this application. Is it available in your device ?
I have updated the application to version 1.1
Cannot use Copy/Paste etc bug - Fixed
Minumum value for parameters set - Fixed
Nice one! Congrats and thanks!
Simple and immediate feature request that I believe will improve your app:
1. Widget to toggle on/off
2. Activity to toggle on/off (to trigger from other automation, gesture, button... apps)
3. Persistent notification to toggle on/off
4. Notification only when on, to turn off
5. Reset default setting values
And also these:
6. Blacklist apps (for instance to exclude launcher,...)
7. Floating panel with main adjustments slides (thick! cause will be moving) for real time fine tune. Can use to show/hide it a button on the ongoing notification. Or to hide a 2 fingers tap on panel.
One bug I experimented already:
It was on. Using Nova Launcher here. I went to app drawer and them home.... Them turned off stability. Nova Launcher screens got frozen partially out of screen. Only solution was to force reload all launcher.
Thanks!
Very great idea man. Thx. Hoping for the stablest final version
Great concept and great app!
It slowed down my system quite a bit though, so I had to uninstall it. A lot of apps (the foreground app I was using) would freeze and the Android System prompt would appear saying " xxx app is not responding, would you like to: wait, force close and reopen, or send bug report". Anybody else seeing this performance problem?
Really nice. Now if the entire ui could shift, instead of only the foreground activity, that would even be better.
For example, the keyboard is not moving, neither is a second app when open in split screen.

This is the typical thing Apple, Samsung, Google, LG would build a proof of concept (this app is one) and patent it. And sell rights for millions.
By the way, another fantastic module that has this potential is AllTrans. Real time translation of any app from any language to any other language....probably Google would love to have that under Google Tanslator label (and spy a bit more on you).

Nice one! Congrats and thanks!
Simple and immediate feature request that I believe will improve your app:
1. Widget to toggle on/off
2. Activity to toggle on/off (to trigger from other automation, gesture, button... apps)
3. Persistent notification to toggle on/off
4. Notification only when on, to turn off
5. Reset default setting values
And also these:
6. Blacklist apps (for instance to exclude launcher,...)
7. Floating panel with main adjustments slides (thick! cause will be moving) for real time fine tune. Can use to show/hide it a button on the ongoing notification. Or to hide a 2 fingers tap on panel.
One bug I experimented already:
It was on. Using Nova Launcher here. I went to app drawer and them home.... Them turned off stability. Nova Launcher screens got frozen partially out of screen. Only solution was to force reload all launcher.
Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestions. I will add more features to it.

Really nice. Now if the entire ui could shift, instead of only the foreground activity, that would even be better.
For example, the keyboard is not moving, neither is a second app when open in split screen.

The keyboard movement will make it difficult to type if moving. As our fingers and actual device is at the same position, only screen movement is required I guess. Anyway I will try to provide and option to enable keyboard movement also if possible
