very cool Face recognition app
Ran across this very cool app that gives you Face Unlock capabilities to your tab
Visidon AppLock works like face unlock in that it uses the camera and your face to unlock but i use it mainly not for locking the tab but for locking the apps. You can designate specific apps to be opened only after face recognition
this is especially useful when you want to loan your tab but want to keep your email, text message, market, and pictures secure so they only be opened if the tab recognizes your face
there's an ad supported free version of the app but for its usefulness i gladly paid out the $1.99 full version
works with HC as well as CM9 Kang (Nexus S phone)

While the Note 2 has great multitasking, and with root (or without) you can have multi windows for a range of applications (not just the stock ones).
But, as far as I am aware, this doesn't include widgets.
This app allows you to having floating widgets, which is brilliant, for a range of reasons. I am sure people will come up with many creative ways to use this app (setting profiles, even has a Tasker plug-in).
Great for running Google Maps with a Google Play Music widget or example

Have a play with the Free Version first, but the paid version will allow you to do more (setting profiles and other stuff).

EDIT:
XDA Thread is here
I just installed the Jelly Bean ROM on my Galaxy Player 4.0. I used this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2333769
It works great, performance is like triple what it was before (my Gingerbread was seriously messed up), and it runs very smooth. The normal Camera app works fine too (camera support was preventing me from messing around with other ROMs in the past that lacked it). The problem comes when I use other apps that access the camera. I tried Google Goggles and Microsoft Tag (to read QR codes) and in both of them the image showed up like this, making the apps worthless:

It's not a huge deal, since I mainly just use the Camera app, but it's annoying not to be able to use these apps. Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas?
I'm currently using some fakery to scroll the live wallpaper (my app broadcasts the new X/Width parameters, but it's a bit laggy) and will do some more fakery to support widgets (both methods will only work with another Star Trek app I made: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.omnicorp.lcarui.test&hl=en since I want to keep everything LCARSian.)
My questions are as follows:
High priority:
What is the code to either bring up the Create Shortcut dialog, or get a list of the shortcut types currently registered?
I understand that once the app creates a shortcut, it sends it to the launcher via intents I'll have to listen to.
Low priority:
What is the code to scroll the live wallpaper the correct way?
I'm using android:[email protected]:style/Theme.Wallpaper to show it.
Demo of what I've got so far:

As a user of the Moto X Pure, one of my favorite features is the lockscreen. You can unlock the screen using the motion sensor with the Active Display feature. They also do a great job of displaying your notifications in a way that gives you maximum information at a glance. I've wanted to bring the features of this lockscreen to my other Android devices and I think I've finally found a good solution for that.
AcDisplay is a lockscreen app that's a decent replacement if you're looking to step up your notification game. You'll also have the "Active Mode" which is the same as the Active Display feature from the Moto X. Since the app uses very little CPU power this isn't going to be a battery hog, which was my main concern about an app like this.

A few years ago was an app called "GameBench" that thanks to power of USB debugging was able to measure FPS in games without root. But at some point they changed their business model and now only companies and organisations can use their app.
Then a competitor arose - PerfDog. Looks even better, more options, nice UI, wi-fi usb debugging support and even excel export:

Well, guess what: recently they decided to monetize their service and target businesses as well. Although they don't say "NO!" to ordinary people, their prices surely do:
Do you guys know any free software that lets you measure FPS in games without root?
