Hi,
All is in the title. The floating dock is a good thing but his functions are lossless (I think) so I would like to know if it's possible to add functions like answer to messages.
Thanks
To the stock floating dock, you can't add features.
Try a 3rd party one from playstore, you may find something
You can't.

Hi guys
is it possible to specify which apps are allowed to rotate the screen and which aren't. essentially creating a black list/white list of apps that can rotate.
is there an app that can do this?
Tasker can do it.
If you use it just for that it's probably a bit expensive but just try the one week trail. You might find more things to like about it.
i'll answer my own question: Smart Auto-Rotate.
using it now, works great.
+1 for Tasker, does nearly anything imagineable. Most powerful app in Android.
I love the quick control feature on the stock ICS browser, but the limitations and crashes makes me want to move on. Is there something like the "quick control" feature or add-on available for Dolphin HD or another available browser? What i like about it is that you can touch a side of the screen anywhere and navigation buttons pop up at that spot.
Do you mean the keyboard shortcuts like on a regular laptop?
If so, I have looked, but no success.
A lot of developers aren't acknowledging physical keyboards yet i guess
Try ICS Browser+, its exactly the same as the stock browser with quick control, but a bit more stable

Thanks Phoenix. I'll check it out.
Thank V. I'm talking about a Labs add-on. It's worth checking out.
I noticed a lack of a central thread dedicated to alternative Touchwiz apps. There are some lists available in various CM/AOSP threads, but I found most of those lists incomplete.
While these apps are namely for use on AOSP where the Touchwiz apps don't exist, many of them I use on Touchwiz as well, as numerous apps function better than Samsung's. Some are free, while others are not. I found the paid apps to be well worth the price though.
This list is currently just my own personal list, most of which are devoted to the SPen and popup functionality. If you have any recommendations for alternatives that you use, feel free to post them here (or send me a PM) and I'll add them to this post.

Multi-Window
Onskreen Cornerstone - I'm including this only as a proof of concept. Onskreen Cornerstone has the capabilities for multiwindow, but would need to be baked into AOSP roms in order to support it. Legend speaks of a time when devs tried adding this to their roms, but found it too buggy to continue. Other tales tell of Google threatening the development community if they started including this feature. Now that Touchwiz has multiwindow capabilities, maybe Google will relax. Maybe someday devs will try again and succeed.
Misc Useful
SPen Board Switcher (free) Changes to any alternate keyboard - such as 7notes - when SPen is removed. Switches back when SPen is replaced. (Touchwiz Only)
Ultimate Rotation Control (trial/paid) Allows lock screen rotation with TouchWiz, as well as any app to fully rotate.
_____________________________________
Again, if you have any app recommendations for Touchwiz alternatives, let me know. I may have missed entire categories of Touchwiz apps simply because they're features I don't personally use.
There has to be a reason many devs reserve the second post, so I'm reserving the second post.

Nice thanks.

Thanks. Some good stuff there!
If there's a multi Window app.... I'm jumping to AOSP instantly.

I wish. I've been keeping my eyes peeled, but nothing so far. The closest thing is the Onskreen Cornerstone framework that needs to be baked into AOSP roms. Rumor has it, the last time devs tried this, it was too buggy to pursue. I wish they would try again though. It looks incredibly promising.

That was the only reason I didn't unlock my Transformer Prime, the cornerstone roms weren't kept current due to bugs. I'm gonna be selling my Prime and was going to replace it with a Nexus 7 (possibly a newer version) but now I'm thinking a 7" Note for the multi tasking ability.
This is the best note app I have tried.

Nice find. I'll definitely add this to the original post.
I wonder if I should try listing apps in a best-to-worst order...
Thanks for the list, I was searching for an alternative of the snotes app.
I would also like to add in this one...
I thinks it's a paid app that I've known about for some time now.

I miss the functions of my s-pen while using aosp ROMs.
Does any one have any apps that would create a hover icon
or any thing that can replicate the touchwiz functions?
Thanks for all your help.
Feel free to post a link to a thread that already discussed this, and then leave your two cents about how you hate people who don't search.
As I have searched for a couple days now.
ANSWER:
You will lose S Pen and other Touchwiz functionality if you flash this but here is how you can get some of that functionality back!
And here's some alternatives to Touchwiz apps (PM me if you want me to add something!)

Here is the list from the CM10.1 thread.

I am not a huge fan of AOSP so I can't really speak to how well these replace the TouchWiz functions.
Thank you.
I can't believe I skimmed through that before.

You should also check out GMD Spen Control in the Play store, it adds some of the features back and gives you more than were on TW.
It is $5 but its well worth it. It was made using the Spen SDK from Samsung.

I'm specially interested in the hover icon for the s-pen.
Is it a function that only touchwiz-based roms can get? I know that we lose all the support for the s-pen on AOSP, but I was wondering if the hovering is more a hardware thing - thus, possible.
Thanks!
I can't comment on 4.2.2, but I'm running cyanogenmod 4.3 and I can turn on hover. Settings - Language & input - Show icon when using stylus.
first I was using the CM S-Pen Root from Playstore (free). Very limited features ( detection, keyboard change)
but I have moved to this one: Cost is $5.25 but worth it for all the features of S-Pen on AOSP Roms.

Hello i am having a REALLY hard time setting up my new rom (foxhound 2.7 on my i9300).
Here is the deal: i like samsung's stock widgets. I like the flashlight and i like the turn off all sounds. But on the launcher i want to use for the rest of my (phone's) life, doesn't see them. In fact there are some launchers that do not see all system widgets.
These widgets i speak of are built in my rom, so please don't mention touchwiz, it has nothing to do with this and i CAN apply these widgets to holo launcher hd (for example) and others.
There are many workaorunds for the flashlight widget, and i can learn to live without all other stock widgets of samsung. But i have never found a better "turn off all sounds" feature than samsungs widget. Now i assume i could send a report to go launcher ex dev team and wait forever for them to not fix this problem, or i could find a solution.
What i need is the experience of you guys, please: i need to find a widget that can link to other existing ones in the phone and act as them, and hopefully go launcher ex will allow me to use this widget.
I do not intend to change launcher, but if anyone can offer a VALID alternative to that launcher (it doesn't just lower all sounds to 0, it completely disables the phone sound output. THIS is what i'm looking for, hopefully in a widget but even if not it's fine).
Many app out there claim to be able to mute all sounds, but not as efficiently as this samsung stock widget, please help:banghead:

Just to give you an option: you could create a Tasker task and widget button to turn off all sounds.

Thanks. I know i could probably figure out how to do this some way, but tasker is a very detailed app, if you already know how to do this would you mind giving me guided steps?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Alright i got some 2 raw widgets working, but no matter what action i choose with tasker (in the sound section) i do not get the turn off all sounds effect just like in the samsung widget.
???
And i didnt find any option to enable another widget....any help?
