I have done some searching and cannot seem to find anything, please feel free to sarcastically point me in correct direction if i am wrong.
are there any favourite app launchers, e.g. a 1x1 program/widget than when clicked opened your 4, 8, 16 best apps (customizable) thus saving white space without having to scroll through all prorams to get to U etc?
Many thanks in anticipation

There are a few... I use Apps Organizer to arrange under manual icons and labels. Clicked once it opens a layer on the same screen with all the chosen app shortcuts in there. The most major limitation being that it cannot arrange widgets into such "folders".

You could just create a folder and drag app icons into it?
or you could just do that, sorry getting to grips with this phone still.
creating a folder works surprisingly well, many thanks

Another option
Another option is Ultimate Faves which lets you select favourite apps or contacts and scroll between the two.
Just wanted to share a trick I discovered to delete the Verizon bookmarks from the browser, from within the browser.
Just visit the bookmark, then go into history, and delete the bookmark from there with a hold-press on the history entry. For some reason this worked, even though it wouldn't delete from the bookmarks screen.
NICE! Thanks!
Good work, dude.

Wouldn't work for me, so I just opened up skyfire and it allowed me to delete them just like any other bookmark.

Looks like we found two ways to do it. Good work guys.

Good work, but I was able to delete them like any normal bookmark from Dolphin.
Easiest way I found was to go to the bookmarks thumbnails, long press the bookmark and choose "Delete bookmark" from the popup menu.
Anyone know a quick way of deleting multiple tabs in Chrome on the Nexus 7 rather than deleting them all individually?
It's an extension, but not available yet for chrome on nexus 7

Thanks for reply.
I find it quite annoying that even after shutting down it remembers all the tabs and opens them up again when you restart, I take it that you can't disable that until this extension either?
It doesn't do that on the desktop version so not sure why it does it on Jellybean.
Anyone know if there is any way of doing this yet via a plug in?

So it seems that only certain apps work with multi-screen and it is not just samsung apps.
Here I plan (with your help) to create a difinitive list of all apps that will work.
I have already noticed that some apps allow themselves to be splitscreened even when they do not appear in that list e.g. official twitter app.
Some apps you will find when you press the edit button, you can then drag them to the main list, or remove ones you do not use.
Samsung Apps
- ChatON
- Email
- Gallery
- Internet
- Messaging
- S-Note
- Video Player
Google Apps
- Chrome
- Gmail
- Maps
- Talk
- Youtube
Third Party Apps
- Facebook
- Official Twitter app
- Polaris (Viewer)
Note: you will need to be using Samsung stock keyboard to benefit from typing when on multi-screen mode, otherwise your keyboard will cover the entire bottom screen.
I just installed the official Twitter app and it is now in the multiscreen menu tab

weird its not showing up for me, did you login to the app? maybe its because I have not logged in?
What about S-planner and Calculator app? I would think these would be two of the most useful to use multi-screen, or at least floating over the screen like the galaxy tabs.

a '*' denotes that the app works in split screen but cannot be selected from the list, it must be activated first then another added as the second screen, therefore two apps with the '*' will not be able to be paired together.

Mine had Twitter in it from the time the multi view was installed.
I had to press edit and drag the twitter icon from there.
Splanner and calculator do not work in split screen.

Can you try tapatalk and see if it works?

Thanks for the info. Bewildering why they would leave out calculator and S-planner from split screen. Two apps that would seem to benefit most from it.
Maybe Samsung will add more apps at future firmware updates.

Anyone know if there is a multi-screen api that devs can use to make compatible apps? It would be epic to get tapatalk and Skype added to the list.

Would love to use Skype with Multi-window. A video call while being able to use the phone.Actually, imagine Skype with video pop up. That would be fairly handy.
Looking forward to the future of the Note 2.
Ohh, This splitscreen rocks
Waiting for Skype to be added in this list

If anyone gets a chance can you see if Netlix will work, possible by opening it then adding something like Facebook to the screen. Thanks in advance, I'm so excited about getting this phone.

Press and hold the back button for 2-3 seconds. If nothing happens then your firmware doesn't support multiview.

A new tab always opens in the foreground, is there a way to change that?

I'd like to know if there is a way to change that as well aside from using a different browser.
