How do we add apps to the Multi-Task bar. I want to add youtube but it is not an option when I hit Edit? I have seen it in several videos. Do we not get it on Verizon?
From what I've seen youtube should be there. Some 3rd party apps may not though. Can anyone that has one already chime in?
From what I have seen in various videos there are several apps missing on my Verizon Note 2's Multi Tasking Dock. In addition to You Tube I have seen Twitter and Chrome, neither are on multi tasking dock and I cannot see how to add them.
I think its drag and drop, try dragging them to the bar.
PS I dont have one yet
I tried dragging but it does not work.

You're probably going to have to wait until your phone is rooted, so that you can flash a mod to enable all apps for multi-task view.

sounds like verizon went and neutered the damn phone, between this and removing blocking mode.
I have the international note 2 and it requires either modifying the framework, or a app that has been written. I'm sure the app can be ported once someone gets root.

Are you saying you are missing these apps also?
I have to say this is a little disappointing. I love the phone but the 2 apps I wanted for split screen were Twitter and You-tube and neither are not working on the Verizon Note 2
I had the note 2 for sprint and I just got the Verizon one today and they definitely neutured this one. I didn't need root to have these apps on the multi bar. They also r emoved the S-planner. Wtf?

No **** you! Why don't you take ten seconds and Google an answer instead of asking to be spoon fed! If you looked there are edits you can do to the apps and apps people have already edited for lazy people like you.
Also the people here are not Samsung or Google. So how is it our fault you can't watch you tube while watching you porn and beating it at the same time (since I'm sure you're a Virgin)?
As for the drag and drop. Use some common sense. There is a bar on the side with apps, hold one and drag and drop it in the open space that SAYS DRAG AND DROP HERE!
Jezz the sense of entitlement on this forum is sickening. I don't care of you dropped a million on the phone no one here gets paid and this is a development Site that is going to suggest root and ROM. By the way for Christ sack try using some form of punctuation, what are you 10?
By the way sorry to the mods and people who respect the work out in here, but attitudes like this d bag piss me off so bad and it seems to be a growing problem around the note2 forum.

If you read your phones manual, researched, watched YouTube videos of how the feature works you would know how to use your phone at the most basic level. You come to this site to get information beyond what is in the manual.
The reason you get answers of "root" is because many things you want to do beyond the stock software requires it. If you don't want to root then enjoy your phone exactly the way it came out of the box. You have made a decision not to root. Don't get mad when people explain rooting is required for the fix.
And as mentioned above this is a feature that can be fixed by editing apps and installing modified apps without the need for root. But guess what. You need to do some work and decompile and recompile apps.

I was in your position a few days ago, decided to root so I could get Sixaxis then took the plunge so I could get all the toogles and every app in multi window (ie the full Note 2 experience). All I can say is that I am not disappointed
It really is pretty easy if you follow directions

So I have been poking around here while I waited for my membership to be approved. Just wanted to pop in and say hello. My Hubby just got me this phone for my b-day and I love it so far. This is my first smartphone, but I have watched him to amazing things with his incredible(he wont give it up until this phone gets unlocked). I was just wondering, when it is unlocked, will anybody be making a pink theme? I would love to get him to put that on my phone if anyone makes it. Thanks.
On a side note, they had this really weird video I had to watch before I signed up here? I thought it was really in bad taste. Anyone else agree? I mean, I'm sure things get a bit busy and hectic around here(as is proved by my husband spending countless hours on here), but no need to be rude to us that are new and wanting to learn more about this stuff. I dunno, take my opinion for just that, an opinion. Although glad I saw it when he wasn't around, he would have went bonkers and insisted I stay off here.
Anyways, hope someone will make a pink theme. Fingers crossed.
indeed. pink will go well with the car.

Hi Flower.
Happy birthday! If you want a pink theme, (or a million others) D/L something like ADW-EX Launcher along with Beautiful Widgets. (pink neon clock is cool) Then you'll pretty much have complete control of your entire user interface. After installing, you can go back & D/L all kinds of lady fonts, wallpapers, etc. You don't need root or unlocking for these either. Advice: if you're new to these, make only 1 change at a time. ADW is powerful & there is a learning curve. But before you know it, you'll have your phone looking like you dropped it in Pepto Bismol!
I'm not familiar with the weird video or waiting for membership approval. There're good & bad on all forums. Just ignore the bad. Welcome to the dark side.
Happy belated and you should get up with one of the female Devs and ask them or a nice male one. But im sure no one will have a problem with it eventually.
=]
Wow. I went ahead and checked out that video. I don't like it much either. Gives a bad feeling about the community in general. I wouldn't think about it too much though. Since this is a fairly new phone, there are bound to be questions and problems that haven't been covered yet.
If it comes down to it, I'll work on a pink, theme for ya when we get root. Gonna be working on a red theme on mine too. And I'm sure my wife will get this when here upgrade is due, so two birds and all that. I'm not a real heavy themer like a few of the devs on here, but I'm sure I could get something going to hold you over till someone big steps in. Did it for my incredible before I upgraded and for my wife's incredible.
Welcome and happy bday.

Aww, thanks guys. Well if the video doesn't bother too many people then I guess it's just me. Wow so many responses. Umm...
voxigenboy-I really like the car.
hellcatrydr- I'll have to have my hubby show me the stuff you are talking about with themes. If you can do so much without this root stuff, what can you do with it?
blestsol-Which devs are females? And how should I contact them?
cvbcbcmv-Uh, not sure how to read your post. Happy about the video or being sarcastic? Cuz you said pretty much what the video said. Not sure.
Comicazy-That would be great. What kind of stuff did you do with your incredibles? Did you post it for others to use? And I share your view on the video.
Thanks again guys.

I did post it. Not sure if anyone used it though. I called it dragonbread. Mostly I just chang the 3g icon to say 4g and made it red along with making anything I could in red on the status bar. And I changed the lock screen sliders to dragon sliders. Changed a few other icons too. Don't remember everything. Nothing as extensive as some of the themes I have seen others create. Word around the forum is we're getting closr to breaking this thing. So hope full soon we can get cracking on this for ya.

Yea, I have seen more childish words and behavior on this forum in the last couple days, than I get from my four and five year olds at home fighting over a toy. All over a phone? I don't think I'll ever understand the big fuss that causes these arguments. Why can't everyone just get along and find something useful to talk about?
Oh and thanks for the link to those themers and stuff. I will try to talk to them and see what they can do.

Good Day Everyone
First off let me start by saying im on a Evo 4G LTE running Fresh LTE 5.2.1 by Flipz.
(Love it...other than this problem I am having)
What is this "Move to Secure Box" option when you long press on a text message?
I have searched both google and xda-devs looking for answers and it seems like people are putting this in their roms but provide no information about it.
I received some very important text messages yesterday. And as of last night they were gone. So I find out my daughter was playing with my phone. Moving items to a "secure box"
Where is this secure box? These messages were a key piece of evidence in a lawsuit and now they are gone.
If I cant find them, i'm out 10 grand. Any assistance at this point would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance

Wanted to share this with folks, as I know a lot of you would like an early upgrade to the Note 2.
First, we are a business customer; that is my wife works for a large corporation that allows us some nice discounts on our service. We have 3 phone lines in our family, so we are not that big of a account personally..
I called CS today, and asked about an early upgrade. We are only in month 10 of our agreement, so I didn't think I had much chance. The first guy I spoke to was trying to get me to change my plan, and add a line, and do all other stuff, so he could "justify" upgrading me for $299.
I told him no, I didn't want to add a line, or do anything silly like that, and asked to speak to retention.
After being transferred, I politely told the gentleman that I wanted a $199 upgrade to a Note 2; I mentioned that Sprint and T-Mobile had promos for that price, and, I could sell our 3 phones on ebay, and make more than enough to pay the cancellation fees, but, I wasn't threatening to leave, nor did I want to leave, nor did I want 3 upgrades; just one for me.
He came back and said he could do the upgrade for 299, plus he would give me a 30 dollar credit for the next 6 months, effectively making the price 119!! (299-180=119).
I asked him to waive the activation fee, and he said he would give me another 36 dollar credit to take care of that, and, also, throw in 2 day shipping for free!
So, I should have my phone by Friday, and am excited to move to the note 2, especially at THAT price!!
My point is, it appears that now that Xmas has passed, they are more receptive to doing early upgrades for those of us that don't really qualify; also, being very polite, and nice to the agent probably helped me as well!
Thanks to all the great friends, dev's, and mods that I have made in this thread, and, a lot of you have already moved to the Note 2, and I am sure a lot more of you will be there soon as well. Hopefully, you can be as successful as I was in getting an early upgrade if that is what you so desire...See you on the other side soon!!

Its true that there will always be a next big thing. The flashaholic in me wants a note 2 but att extended my upgrade time to 1 1/2 yrs when I upgraded to the note and I didn't upgrade early. So wait until Oct or pay full price. I'm sure they would be happy to let me pay full (overpriced) retail.

Have you guys not tried xposed frameworks and the multi window apk? Works on stock tw based ROMs.
Unfortunately, it appears the Verizon Galaxy S4 will keep the notification we all hate so very much. Luckily, this does not apply to any other carriers, similarly to the S3. I am quite disappointed.

and obviously we will have to wait and see, once the verizon version comes out.
i'm surprised they don't force wifi when available :silly:
Just a quick tip to temporarily stop in until reboot is hod the notification from the drop down, tap app info than tap force stop. It will get rid of it until a better root method is provided

I would take this response from the chat representative with a grain of salt. Verizon doesn't tell them much and they are notorious for providing misinformation. Take the S4 pre-orders for example. It seemed like everyone that did an online chat got a different answer as to what time they started. While it's likely that Verizon will force this WiFi notification on us, I really don't think this can be taken as a confirmation. The chat representatives most likely have not seen the Verizon model, nor is it likely that they've been given very much information about it.
Just trying to be optimistic here, although I'll be surprised if it doesn't have the ongoing notification.

Exactly. Chat reps are the pond scum of the Verizon food chain. Don't trust them for any sort of technical / non-basic information.
Although I would assume Verizon will keep this notification to annoy people who use too much network data.
i see it as a way of getting everyone off their 4g network so i can hog all the bandwidth

New phones get a persistent WiFi notification in the drawer. Incredibly annoying.

So it tells you to turn on wifi? Or turn it off?

This isn't really the first we've seen of it, the previous gen flagship phones had this on Sprint by default as well (S3/EvoS). I don't remember how the S2 worked but I'm inclined to say that the "Sprint Connection Optimizer" became big in early 2012.
You and I may be against it, but there is a good case to be made for mobile data offloading onto your home/public WiFi connection. If anyone cares to read some interesting opinions on this, head over to S4GRU: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/2...ta-on-wifi-even-though-you-pay-for-unlimited/ (starting at post #6)

Constant nagging to connect to WiFi.

I agree, but this should classify as nontechnical, basic information that even they could process.
Sorry about the horrible quality photo this is what they are talking about

This mod was discovered for the S3. I have followed the instructions and verified that it works on the S4 also.

I was able to "open as text" in Root Explorer to modify the original file. Saving the file from there automatically created a .bak of the original.

My question is why would you want to disable them? If a presidential alert was ever issued I think you'd definitely want to know about it as they are not issued often at all.

On my old Droid X I used to get Emergency Alert System Tests under the "Presidential Alert" heading. They were obnoxious. Not to mention the fact that I simply don't use my phone that way and prefer to get my emergency preparedness alerts from other sources. Oh, and I also have a real problem with .gov cramming this useless nanny-state garbage down my throat.
You want your "[propaganda] alerts" that's fine, don't turn them off. Some people want them turned off and the link above explains how.
That's strange that you got common EAS tests, as I have never received one in my history of owning a smart phone or any phone for that matter. I think it would be a wise idea to keep them on there just in case you are not around "other sources" if something crazy happened. Just my two cents. But thanks for the contribution, I am sure there are other people that feel the same way.
Are we supposed to believe any message that comes through those alerts?
You guys do as you want, I just hope not tax payer money will be spend rescuing you after you fail to heed the warnings.

lol yet taxpayer money goes out to pay for the systems to send these texts out. i don't need a text to get a tornado warning; there's 2893489234893 weather apps on android that do it, along with the fact i own a weather radio that specifically alerts me for it. i don't need my cellphone to do it from the government.

Welt it never hurts. The weather apps I find can have a delay and if a tornado is rilling my way id like to have as much warning as I can get and as many warnings.

In all the time I've been a smartphone user, I've gotten test alerts every once in a good while, and the only emergencies I've ever gotten was several flood warnings, despite the fact that in that realm of time we even had tornado emergencies and ZERO EAS alert on my phone.
This shouldn't even be a conversation. If you statist sheeple want your paranoia alerts no one is stopping you. Yet you have this retarded mental breakdown that those of us capable of self reliance and critical thinking need to be convinced to see things your way. You just can't deal with the fact that your view isn't the only one, can you?

Not really, it's just tinfoil hat club conspiracy theorists like you that have to denouce a tested and proven method of keeping the general populace safe. Did you throw your FM radio out the window when it started giving weather alerts?

Looks like the oxygen is pretty thin up there on your high horse.
It's ironic that you mention critical thinking skills because your rant is clearly and concisely demonstrative of a lack of said skills. You may want to study up on logical fallacies because you've relied on them heavily.

The reason nobody is agreeing with you is not because of your stance, it's because of your attitude. Even the people that would normally agree with your point of view most-likely closed the topic and shook their head because you're coming across like a spoiled teenager telling his parents he doesn't need their help and wants to do things his own way.
If you don't want the alerts: Wonderful; however, calling people that see a need for the alerts (or at least understand the reason for them) statist sheeple and [mental retards] is beyond reprehensible.
Oh, and read najaboy's response...then do a google search for logical fallacies. It's like you're just going down the list while creating your argument and demonstrating every one.

Just wanted to point out that this is not a "Presidential" alert, it's an "Extreme" alert, which ARE able to be unchecked by default.
I usually am really good with words. But this thread has left me quite speechless... Closed before the President reports anymore weather....
