Aha! Is there a way to configure what icons are on the dock? Not just deleting what's there, but adding some as well?

I couldn't figure out how to add to it. Curious myself.

Go to the play store and look for a app called Samsung multi window manager
It needs root but it will let you add any app to the multi window bar

There is an input selector icon in the status bar whenever the keyboard pops. If you click that you can easily change the input method.

This should be possible, just need someone with the knowledge and time to make one.
I am sure the S-pen SDK allows us to monitor when the s-pen is removed so we should be able to trigger an app to auto-switch keyboard at that point.

I would argue that double tapping to open smemo is the same amount of work.
It is amazing, however, how awesome it is to have smemo automatically open and close when you pull the pen in and out.

[Q] All apps in multitasking window issue

I've been having a strange issue with the multitasking window. I hit the "edit" button to add apps that I want to multitask, but when I drag an app into the drawer it magically switches to a different app. It doesn't seem to have any kind of pattern either. It will just switch to any random app. Anyone else had this problem yet?
This appears to be a common issue with many of the multi-window mods.
I recommend the multi-window module for the Xposed framework as it corrects this problem.
It can be found here:

You need to clear data for com.sec.android.app.FlashBarService.
Then it will be fine.

[How To] Enable Hidden Menu

I'm not sure if this is posted anywhere or if I'm placing it in the right section. Sorry if not...
To enable the hidden menu on Verizon Note 2:
- Install apk here: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/38150-enable-hidden-menu-and-dialer-codes/
- Open the app
- Press the menu button
- Press the black text at the bottom of the screen that pops up
- Select enable
- Do one of two things: 1) press the Launch Hidden Settings button or 2) exit out and use the codes through the dialer...such as *#0*# http://www.androidcentral.com/how-uncover-and-use-hidden-service-menu-galaxy-s3
Cheers!

I dunno
It is good for forcing your phone into lte only mode. The only time it works for me thoigh is with the dialers. The apk never would. Now I have the hidden menu stored as a contact number. I just dial myy contact name, and jump right into hidden menus. It saves me havong to remember it all the time.
"One small step for man, One giant leap for mankind" said anyone who has tried Moon Rom
Dialer Codes
Could you post some dialer codes that would be useful for the VZW Note 2?
3G/4G/Hidden menu without root
no need for any app,
just use *#22745927 on dialer, then enable hidden menu from the next screen and then use the following codes to change whatever u wish
*#197328640# Service Mode
*#0228# BatteryStatus
*#0*# Screen/Sensor/Vibration/Touch/Speaker/LED/etc testing -- even gives out raw values for light sensor, barometer, etc in real time
*#2263 RF Band Selection
*#66336 MDM Randump Mode (defaults to OFF)
for LTE only or 3G only Edge only without rebooting device, download the app phoneutil .....http://mirror20.downloadandroidrom.com/download/apk/utility/phoneutil.apk?token=662111735
works like charm

[Q] Apex Launcher transparent status bar

The latest version of Apex Launcher in the Play Store added support for transparent status bar.... I can't figure out how to enable it. Anyone know?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 2
Open the apex settings screen and you should find it under the homescreen settings page about half-way down. It says that it might require root. I just tried it and it works for me. I am rooted, so I cannot address the unrooted case.

yep, its there, I have Apex v2.0.3 free and its there. The transparent status bar looks better for the Galaxy S 4 on Nova.

Odd... I have stock rooted and paid version of Apex. I see it. Homescreen Settings > UI Options. I see these 4 items:
Use tablet UI mode
Transparent notification bar (says may require root access)
Show persistent search bar
Search bar style

I think it is because you are CM10.1. I am not positive, but the way I see it is the CM10.1 makes it so your phone isn't a Galaxy S4 in a sense. So maybe Apex is seeing that you aren't a Galaxy S4. Not sure, but just a thought.

Help
:crying: Guys i am using xperia Z
No such option under home screen setings
pls help
i need it....
Thanks in advance
I'm using HTC One with sense 5 and Apex Launcher Pro v2.1.0. The setting is there for transparency under 'Homescreen settings' but when I press it I get a pop up "Root access unavailable or denied". So, settings there but doesn't work for me, not rooted. Seems weird seeing as sense 5 by default has a transparent bar yet I need to be rooted to use this feature.

Multi Window

Hey guys. Just thought I'd see what everyone uses their multi app Windows for. I think it's a great idea but I can never think of 2 apps I'd use at the same time.
I turned mine off because i dont like the tab thats on the side of the phone. Texting and browsing is one good use for it. Easy to copy and paste links between the two. Although its pretty easy to swap between the two using the home key too.

I usually use mines for copying information into a notepad / memo.
YouTube and a browser bc YT stops when its in the background and with a mod'd YouTube apk, I can listen with the screen turned off
I haven't used it once, the phone switches windows so fast

Student GMail -> calendar. I get notified of school meetings and stuff all the time. Multiwindow makes it very easy to copy over the information into my Google calendar.
But that's really my only use for it. It is nice for this purpose, but I could live without.
Copying links/addresses or other information to a text is a good use, as is from any app to a note taking app.

On TW if you hold the back softkey button while multi-window is enabled it hides the bar until you want it again. Simply hold the back button once more for it to show. =)

I have to agree, aside from the cool factor of actually being able to do it, I have not found a practical use for it.
I use it when copy/pasting login credentials from LastPass.

Cool thanks guys
I have used it a couple of times to text while I watch a movie or video.
Before I had the phone, I thought I would use the multi-window a lot and was excited about it.
Tried using it a few times and it just wasn't clicking for me.
I think if I could incorporate my apps with it or if it were more intuitive, maybe I would use it. I don't know.
As of now I have it disabled.
I would like a better app switcher, though. Something like Zephyr for the jailbroken iphone.
