like the option note 3 have its alot more easy and fast to use but i dont see the option in S5
is there a option in setting or a mod for it ?
There is. Click on the app drawer setttings icon. Then choose view as > alphabetical.
.
I don't mean alphabetical order but a list like this

the note 3 had that
Nope. It wasn't clear what you were looking for.
You are seeking an alphabetical list instead of an alphabetical grid view. And AFAIK, Samsung got rid of the list view on the S5 as it wasn't as popular as the grid view. If the minor stylistic difference is important to you, look for a Note 3 launcher port or possibly a play store app to do that.
It can be re enabled again. Is an option available in Alliance Rom

Is there a way to put the apps in individual folders INSIDE of the app menu? Can I change the way it scrolls? I've seen some galaxy s phones scroll top to bottom, not on individual pages. Within touchwiz too. Just trying to see whats out there.
GO Launcher has folders in the app menu.

to the question about changing the way the app drawer scrolls... yes you can , just open up the app drawer and press the menu button. there you should see two options edit and list view ,just clock list view and itll change your items listed vertically scrolling up and down as opposed to the left and right horizontally defaulted to...if you wanna go back just do same thing but instead of list view itll say grid view just click that and youre golden. hope that helps
I don't think TouchWiz' List View is what you actually want. To get stock Android-style app drawer scrolling, you need to download another launcher entirely. ADW Launcher and LauncherPro are by far the best ones available.
With ADW you can choose between the TouchWiz/iPhone-style scrolling and Android-style; LauncherPro only does Android-style. Other than that they each are fantastic in their own right, with tons of customization options. And if you choose to pay for a premium version of either one, LauncherPro gives you some awesome widgets while ADW EX gives some awesome new 3D homescreen scrolling and customization options.
On my Note 2, S-Note had widgets you could create for individual note pages - I believe they were large by default (4x3 maybe?) but with Nova you could resize they and they'd display the whole content of that page - tapping them would open S-Note to that page ready to write. --- and it was -only- the note itself comprising the widget - no border, no menus, no overlaid titles. So if you had a black background and created a note with an all-black background, it would blend in perfectly and just show your writing overlaid on your homescreen.
This was extremely valuable to me. On the Note 3, with the revamped S-Note, there's only one widget option and it's a tabbed overview of all notes/most recent notes. Lots of border crap, wasted space, view of the notebooks, etc. It sucks.
Anyone have a replacement widget to emulate the old one??
not sure if this is what you want but the app "sweet Notes" can do something like that

I know exactly what you are talking about and it is also the biggest thing I loved in my Note 8. I am also wondering why they removed that feature. I hope there is a way to bring it back.

I haven't found anything to help. I'll mail Samsung and may go back to the S Notes version from the Note 2, I have a Titanium backup of it. Hopefully that would work.
Yeah i too noticed the absence of that widget. I really liked it and used it alot on my s4 and s3. If someone figures out a way to bring it back I would like to know as well.
This is the first thing I noticed, and is now part of a very long list of things my Note 2 did much better than my Note 3. I wish it wasn't so popular for companies to constantly change/update things that are steps backwards. Updates should just add new features, not change for the sake of changing.
The closest thing I can find to emulate this missing feature is to take a screenshot of your S-Note page, then add that to your homescreen as a "picture" widget. It's a hassle and doesn't scale as intuitively as the old version of S-Note though.

This has bothered me as well, but now I found that you can long-press the folder of the note and choose the option to "add shortcut to home" and then you have direct access to the note via the created icon. You can rename the note's folder first if you choose to do so. Put the icon whereever you choose. Works for me.

This is just adding an icon, completely different than a versatile, re-sizable, widget containing a scalable image of the note itself.

I tried restoring old S Note from my Note 2 backups and things broke, so no go on that front - at least just a basic restore didn't work. I didn't dig deeper, but I'm guessing there are various other dependent libraries that have been updated.
I did find an old S Memo flashable zip I had used on the 2, which is what S Note used to be. I might give that a try - I don't recall if it comes with the page widget.

At&t screwed me over, and locked up the Note 3 bootloader pretty tight. Interested if the S Memo works for you though, as I'm sure someone will crack the At&t version soon as the bounty is getting pretty high.

No luck. I flashed my S-Memo installed and it ran without crashing anything but wouldn't receive any pen input, as well as a few minor display/function things.
UGH.
Action Memo does this.
I used that feature a lot, for my To Do's. Action Memo does the trick.

Unfortunately, not really the same at all. First, the Action Memo widget is only available on the stock TW launcher - not in Nova/Apex/etc, which makes it a non-starter. Next, it's not resizable, because TW doesn't allow arbitrary widget resizing.
Sucks.

Finally I found a solution...Lecture Notes can make widgets from individual pages resized with Nova Launcher.

I'm still looking for a way to do this. I have the latest S5 S Note app and still no S Note Page widget.
Anyone ever find a working solution (not for a different note app)?

You could try App Memo from play store. I too missed the old widget from my Note 1. the full version of App memo allows you to use an actual memo as a widget, various size options available. Although it has less functions than the S note app, for simple memo's, I find it easier and quicker to use.
How do you add a settings shortcut for battery and wifi manager on the home screen? I've been scouring through the widgets and nothing seems to appear, normally with all other phones a "settings" widget is available and you get to choose which settings you want a link to.
Thanks

i was using the galaxy note ii for a while and loved settings widget/shortcut. i moved on to the galaxy note 3 on a different carrier. i also have sm-n9005. both note 3s do not have the settings widget. it is frustrating. what i recommend is installing action launcher by chris lacy. it will add 2 widgets to the widget launcher/menu. choose the activities widget. the list of apps and settings that populates is more extensive than the note ii's version. there you can add bluetooth, data usage, wifi, and tethering one by one. after creating all the shortcuts i needed, uninstalled action launcher. remember to keep touchwiz as your default launcher in the beginning of the process.
(on a side note, action launcher is great. i even purchased the pro key. however, i just don't like the way apps look in folders. in addition, 1x1 widgets do not align properly with regular app icons sometimes. as for 4 row widgets, it automatically adds margins/padding so they look more align with other same sized widgets. some 4 row widgets on touchwiz go edge to edge which is annoying. in regards to the s pen features, air command did not pop up on action. honorable mention, shutters is a great action feature. last mention, i don't use action on the note 3.)
Hi, I am wondering if there is a way to keep the Multiwindow function on but hide the little tab that overlays on every screen. I know I can enable/disable miltiwindow in the notification toggles, but I would rather have it hidden and turned on. I have the Note 10.1 2014 and I much prefer the way they did that multiwindow where a swipe from the right opens it up and there is no tab overlay. Any apps/mods that will do this?
Also, is there a way to easily add all of my apps to the multiwindow list? I have MW apps manager but I still have to manually add each app to the list that is available, and I can not sort the apps by name which makes it a huge pain to find the app I want quickly. Thanks.

Hold down the back button to hide it, again to show it.
Search play store for multi window manager.

Hey guys, I was just changing my lock screen wallpaper on my Edge when I discovered that you can actually add up to 30 different wallpapers that will rotate every hour on your phone! I know it doesnt sound like a big deal, but absolutely a neat feature that was not talked about. Thanks Sammy! I currently set 8 different wallpapers for mine to rotate throughout the day. If you guys find any little things like this that werent talked about feel free to add them in this thread!:good:
How did you get this to work? Seems like a nice feature
are you referring to the lockscreen wallpapers where they "move" and change every hour? the note 4 has this too
I would love this feature! How'd you turn this on?
Ah, can only be used on the lock screen, not the homescreen.
I just realized this as well. Only the lock screen
Can anyone please post a Video

don't wanna make a new thread so as you talking about unknown features, well more of an Easter egg: the icon for the clock in the apps draw displays the real time including on the default theme, thought it was kinda cool. lol

Thanks! I actually thought it was for locking the phone (hence, direction lock), but it was only for unlocking. Thanks for the heads up though!
My GS6 Edge Gold Platinum 64GB is arriving on Friday and this thread is a good idea, keep posting people I want to know all the sexy features of this sexy phone
MultiTask mode where you can have an app floating on your desktop can be accessed as we know through the multiwindow key. But also within any app that can be "multitask" you can easily unlock it for multitask by swiping your finger on "top right or left corner" of the screen of the phone. Meaning outside of the screen to inside of the screen. Thought it was pretty cool too.
