Hello I have by one day the Nexus 10 is amazing just I have maybe an easy questions but Maybe you k o:
1.-I have an amazon kindle and it has a search button to look for applications installed inside the device and easily you can find anything if you have tons of apps. Now the question in Nexus 10 is there a way to search for applications installed inside the device? I tried to use the search options but all jump me to google in internet not inside the device. And I ask because try to find applications via icons wjen you have so many is very hard.
2.-Someone can suggest me good themes animated or non animated to look for or buy?
Thank you
field3d,
Just by tapping the icon, that looks like a circle with a grid of 6 small squares, you will bring up a full screen of app icons (likely multiple pages worth) in one tab "Apps" and the other tab "widgets". Collectively those two tabs display are all the software apps you have installed on your tablet.
Also start the Google Play store app and from there you can tap the icon with a down arrow ending in a short line (top right side) and it will display a screen with two tabs "Installed" and "All". The "Install" list of apps are all the software you installed from the Google Play store.
Thank you for answer.

Thank you for answer. I did what you said but really I mean a search button or maybe one application to look for specific apps inside all I have installed, because I see all the apps but going between pages and icons I'm lost trying to find for specific application. Any way to search for a specific app in Nexus 10. For example the iPad, iPhone or in general iOs if you press twice the home appears a search to look for a specific application to avoid go between pages and lost. The kindle in the main post I said has similar, it has a little search applicatin and with that application you can find an app easily and avoid to read pages and pages an icons. Is there a way similar than that in Nexus 10?
Note: The search application in Nexus 10 only redirects me to web and find on google for Internet topics, this is different of what I want like you see.
Any suggestion?
Thank you
Google now tablet search

Hi
I've got a problem with the app-drawer in Krabappels ICS rom 20.1 (similar to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26959034&postcount=2504 ): When I open it, I have 6 windows with 4 columns and at least 5 rows, while the 5th row is barely visible (maybe the first 3-4 lines of pixels of an icon), sorting is "last installed" and it's the same with "alphabetically" and "last used".
If I chose my own sorting, I've got 8 windows and a 4x4 matrix, so I can see every app. Funny fact: I never used this before, so there can't be any positioning infos for the icons
I tried deleting the cachepartition in boot recovery (including Dalvik-Cache), deleting app-caches and history via Android Assistant, but it's allways the same. And I also didn't find the mentioned "Clear Cache" button. Is there a way to "tell" the app-drawer to use either more windows OR a 4x4 matrix for the automated sortings?
Images:
Sorting: alphabetically, last used, last installed:

Hi.
I updated to KA21.1 with a fresh install (formatting system, cache, data, etc.; made a factory reset) and the App-Drawer Issue is no longer. But I got another Question now: How can I add a folder to my Home Screen? There is one Folder named Media in the bottom bar, so there is no problem with showing folders in general, but when I try to add shortcuts, there is no option to make a new folder.
And theres a second, more serious problem: The right button doesn't show a menu any more, I can't get into the device settings!
I don't think, krabappel is looking into this forum, so could anybody please tell him to answer my questions? Since I may not post in the developers area ...
**wtf, I have to wait 5 minutes for an edit? ohhwww ... this freaky forum is NOT userfriendly
Draw one app from the appdrawer to your homescreen and put it on another app and then you get a folder
Sometimes you must it figure it out by yourself and posting in a hurry a new thread, you can ask it in general chat in Q/A topic and about your 1st post, go to settings then apps click on all, scroll down till you see xperia home, click on it and erase data, dont ask where just see it by your own and that is here more then enough explained buddy, just search
sent from my Xperia Neo V Supercharged ICS 4.0.4
SOLVED
Hi.
Thanks. I read that with the folder somewhere (perhaps samsung touchwhiz?), but I didn't know, KA21 was now using that, too.
About the app drawer: Since I made a fresh install, it's working fine now. I did a search for that and found the respective post, but I misunderstood the part where it says "Xperia Home >>App<<", I thought it was the entry in the device settings "Xperia (tm)", and there was no way to clear any cache ^^ But now I know, where to look at. I also found a way to enter the device settings, circuitous but it's ok.
Thank you very much again. Sometimes the only thing one needs is just a cue
Hi all newbie here and did a few searches and tried to look for help but could not find right info, also I hope I am in the right spot to post so please feel free to tell me if I am not in the right place. Currently running ICS 4.0.4 up-to-date at time of writing on Vodafone Australia but I don't think the country of service provider is the problem. I have a problem with my 'Home Screen Dock' NOT THE 'Lock Screen Dock' I can change icons on the lock screens no problems, All the help, forums and videos on changing the 'Home Screen Dock' Icons say to simply drag, drop[ and replace. All i wanted to do is change the stock "Internet" Icon with Chrome. Dragged the internet icon of and went to drag the Chrome one on but I can't as instead of the dock staying visible like on some videos it changes to the Delete Icon option. Cant find settings please help. Also I do not want to use a 3rd party launcher. I tried Apex and do like it but I use widgets and can't use widgets as my phone is not rooted. Please help arrrgghhh. Thanks in advance.
PS . I just have a blankspot where my internet Icon use to be.
I am running JB at the moment, so can't tell you perfectly. But I remember having this situation before and I used menu-edit to change icons in dock. try that.
Or go into app drawer and navigate to page where chrome is then go menu-edit... pick chrome and try to bring it down on the dock.

Doing menu-edit changes the dock bar and give me the following 4 options to drag the icon on to.... "Create Folder" "Create Page" "File Info" "Delete".

Thanks for your reply...I had already tried this. The only difference is that now once you start to drag instead of the "Creat Folder" "Create Page" "File Info" and "Delete" it does the same but just with those as icons and no text.

Hi All,
Like StefsGalaxy, I've done a myriad of searches re: TouchWiz Shortcut Dock and thus have yielded no results, or at least nothing fluid anyway.
I guess it is a localised issue. i.e. AU Only. I'm with the Vodafone network but have seen posts the same from people who are on Telstra.
I've read a few threads on XDA RE: Modifying TouchWiz, and have been fairly successful. Said Mods have mostly been Column / Row modifications to allow for more icons on the HomeScreen and AppDrawer.
I'm interested to know if there is a way I can
A) Modify the application shortcuts on the dock (within the APK)
B) Undo the changes that Samsung have 'borked'
C) Revert to a pre-jelly bean version of TouchWiz (seclauncher2.apk) where the functionality to change the Apps still exists..
Perhaps if I could find seclauncher.apk from a 4.0.4 build (any directions on where are welcome), I could compare the differences between the two and re-compile for 4.1.1.
Any alternative suggestions that don't involve a complete ROM change or a new Launcher? (I quite like what I have)
Thanks in advance....
According to this Youtube review, Action memos have been removed from the Note 7. Is that an issues for you? I will miss this myself.

Pretty sure Action Memo was merged into S-Note. At least I think that's what I had read in a changelog somewhere.

There is no S-Note anymore. Now it's Samsung Note. They say it merges all the tools there existed before, but though i can see it for S-Note and Scrapbook, i can't find anything similar to Action Memo in it.
I went in the store to fiddle around with a Note 7 they had on display. To be clear, I've owned a Note 4&5 and used Action memo and S-Notes quite a bit.
There are three items I see missing from Samsung's including in Samsung Notes as well as three shortcomings, or changes, that I don't like.
1) There is no more Link To Action. Period. Which is a HUGE bummer - since I used it almost daily to scribble down a number, and then link-to-phone dial it. That or using the link-to-task for crap I had to remember. ** please correct me if I am wrong here - I couldn't find it in the app or in the additional installable add-ons.
2) When you are in an Action Memo and press the home button to pop back to the launcher such as for running another app, the little "chat-head" style memo icon is no longer. This is the same thing as the Minimize function on the Menu. One the 4/5, you could drag it around the screen and tap on it to go back into the open Action memo. Not any more. On the 7 you have to open SamNotes, and a message pops up saying your note was saved and you have to open it from the list. It isn't waiting for you already open. Not 100% sure about using Recent Apps key to switch back into it.
3) The "Return To List" menu option is gone. Can't get back to the list of Action Memos from an open memo. Getting back to the list of Notes seems more convoluted on the 7.
Changes that I don't like:
1) The Action Memo widget is changed. On the 4/5 you could Pin to Home if you were using Sammy's launcher and have a 1x1 or 2x2 representation of the Action Memo. One the 7, you can still Pin, but it is a 5x1 (wide, not tall) sliver of the note. It's scrollable and can reduce the size down to 4 wide x 1 tall. no more 1x1 or 2x2. Another bummer. There goes my page of action memos widgets. I'd have 5, 10 or more pinned on my go-to page for reminders.
2) The Set Reminder is a small alarm bell icon at the top, which is only active once you saved the note.
3) The Glance option can be used once the note is saved. On the launcher, it can be dragged to one of the four corners. It pops up when you hover - but won't when you tap it. And you have to delete the Glance for it to go away, which is just crap.
So, there is action memo on note 7? As you said widget has been changed. How do you access it if gone from the pen menu?

I use Action Memo a lot. It makes no sense why Samsung would combine that with S Memo and just make it into one. The whole idea of Action Memo is to access to it quickly. By combining it, there are more steps to get to it, that's my understanding from watching that video.
If enough people complain to Samsung about it, maybe they will do an update and put it back in the air command and leave it the way it was. I know Samsung is trying to clean up Touchwiz, but this was not the way to go about it.
somebody found it..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMQs3K_e9l8
although I couldn't do it.... either hoax or I missed something!
I watched that video before and I don't know what to make of it. Best we can do is contact Samsung and let them know we want Action Memo back. Doesn't make sense why they would take away one of the best features from their Note series.

He posted a Part 2 - and said he put a link in the comments although I didn't look for it.
I'm gonna head to Verizon tomorrow or over the weekend and try to get it working his way. If I can get it reliable, then maybe I will get one.
Really pissed Samsung would pull this awesome app with very useful features. Without it, its like Apple Pencil or a Wacom tablet: great for drawing within a specific app, but not worth the price....

I don't have the Note 7 in front of me to be 100%, but I believe there was a downloadable add-on or extension that allowed for S-Note widgets. I may have called it Action Memo widget, but it may now me called S Note widget or something similar.
That's the first thing I'll be looking for when I get my Note 7 tomorrow. It's not a deal breaker for me. I tweeted Samsung about it already. I don't know if they will address my disappointment to the right department.
it's true.... uninstall latest version... get old version.... it works... eve With nova launcher.
works only with double tap on screen it seem... link to action ok

mmmm... interesting.... I didn't do anything special... you could try opening s note app first then close... other than that I don't know.... just play around.. or uninstall and start again.
definitely works.. link to action etc etc
DONT FORGET TO PRESS SPEN SIDE BUTTON WHILE DOUBLE TAPPING!!
oh yea widget also works so you could try that also
to be sure..... download all the extension packs available within app I gave..... two wouldn't install for me... but three did
Guys....you're overcomplicating this.
Just hold the S Pen button and double-tap to get it back...it never left; you just need to hold the button down now.

Hi guys!
I'm just enjoying the new open world of my very first Android device, after 8 years of iOs.
In certain ways- it really just very new and fresh and enjoyable-, and in other ways there are small annoyances which i hope i can find a solution with your help (or will just get used to them)
GENERAL, ANDROID, SEARCH
First of all,i'm a keyboard guy. Because of that, since IOS3, i wasn't using screens, but rather the search option, in my opinion there is really no better way to look for an app, but hit the first few letter, and choose from the narrowed list.
In pixel launcher, i was very happy with the search field, BUT, it's at the top on the screen and you have to touch it before keyboard comes up
I mean... COME ON. Seriously?
Phones are over 5.5" phone, this is really a pain in the butt.
I have a big hand, but it's impossible to reach with one hand.
Why not the keyboard comes up TOGETHER with the launcher?? So my question is:
Is there any app, which provide a search among installed apps, and can be reached easily with a shortcut (i mean like in IOS, -> swipe down, and type immediately | no hassle to tap the input field, then wait for the keyboard
NOTIFICATIONS
This one is very simple. Is there any way to make it like IOS?
I mean, in my opinion:
every notification should be one item (not grouped by programs)
when i click on one item, it opens the target itself, and not the program in which the target is (ie: it opens the received email, and not the email app)
Is there any hack / settings / app for all the above?
I would be just really very happy...
Thanks for reading me

Perhaps you didn't read my comment properly. Since you had asked if there was an app with features like apple or whatever I said download ios launcher from playstore. Anyways I am out of here. Perhaps some other person may help you out.
You can download the "nils lockscreen notifications" app from play store and espier launcher pro from google

I just installed and purchased Nova Launcher today. I'm trying to figure out how to add shortcuts to Word and Excel files that are stored in Dropbox to my home screen.
On the default launcher of my OS (LineageOS 15.1), I performed the following steps to get the shortcut to my home screen:
*Go into Dropbox and select the file to open.
*From within Dropbox, click to fully open the file in Word or Excel.
*From the Recent screen in Word or Excel, press the 3 dots to open a sub-menu, and then select "Add to Home screen."
By performing the above steps, this would put a link on my home screen that would always open the most recent version of this file, even if it was most recently updated on another device.
Anyway, when I perform step 4 from within Nova Launcher, Word or Excel says "item added," but when I go to the home screen, the icon is not there.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,
Mike
