[Q] S-Pen multitouch - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General

Hey there,
I just ordered my Note yesterday (coming back to xda-developers after switching to nokia for a few years ) and trying to spend the time while waiting for it.
I have seen some videos about the S-Pen capabilities to take screenshots, and show the menu etc... but I was wondering if it had a way to pinch/zoom in it.
If not any alternatives in doing this while holding the pen or you typically put the pen aside zoom and pick it up again ?
thanks

I believe you can zoom on a selected image / cropped image using both pen or fingers.
If I remember - there are six indicators on the image (3 on the left and right on the right) of whatever you select - they are small black arrows in a round circle which can be used for resizing the image or moving them around.

Multiple home screen images

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if any one knows if there is any way of getting multiple images onto my home screens so when I swipe over to each screen I get a completely different image rather than just panning across a large image.
I only ask as I would like to theme each screen to go with the types of apps and widgets I have on each one. For example I have pages split up into; media, travel, sports, and tools so would like an image in the back to represent each type.
If anyone who's of an app or ROM that I could use to do this that would be great.
Thank you,
Keiran
yes you can, usig photoshop get 7 pictures of 480x800 and put the one beside the other and there you go.
That doesn't work becouse you don't move the full 1/3 of a screen when you go to the side. You would have to have it as a setting in the Home Screen.
I have not seen that option in any launcher that I have tried. But it would be a cool feature to add to something like the Helix

Move home and back button?

Is there any option to move the home back and app switcher buttons? I have to stretch to reach them, is there anyway to move them so they are on the side like the menu button?
Agreed. Personally I'd like to see the controls fixed to the bottom left as they are for most other tablets. Would also much prefer the status icons switched to the bottom right, where there's much more screen space to make them bigger
I agree with you. I'm a Xoom user since it came out. This is one modification of the OS that I think is a step backwards.
It's because the Nexus 10 uses the "Phablet" UI instead of a Tablet UI. Wait a few weeks for some custom Roms to come out. Someone for sure will cook something up
Completely agree... keeping in the phablet mode may be ok for 7" devices, or even in portrait mode, but in landscape mode, those buttons are not easily reached with the thumb making it very awkward
Hi,
still nothing new with moving/positioning these buttons?
Root -> flash AOKP rom mr robinson -> go to settings -> rom control-> tablet ui -> choose tablet ui
(At least , this is what i do )
Find more settings there to move wathever you want
( write a pm to mr robinson if you want more customisation in the future )

I have gone to a full screen display and replaced the buttons using a combination of:
full!screen+ which removs the top and botton bars plus allows me access to notifications as a popup from one of the four screen corners
LMT Launcher's PIE to which I add the standard "home back and app switcher buttons ... etc". It can do so much more besides just that. PIE overlays any app by thumbing over a specific side of the display and auto disappears when not used. It even overlays during video playback without stopping the video.
Definitely read the documentation in the LMT Launcher post, as that and a little time trying the various options will really enhance your experience.
After using these two apps for more than a month I feel having the top and bottom bars are a waste of screen space.
I am running rooted Stock 4.2.2.
Yep there are lots of ROMs now that enable tablet UI for those who want the buttons on the left side. And some ROMs that do not have the option enabled have a tabletUI mod that can be flashed to it, like Sentinel 4.60

[Q] Pages/apps that don't allow zoom

I love this device. In every way. Except I can't read text half the time. Kind of a problem, don't you think?
I am have an Lg GPE to on hand to compare/consider. I like the text size, but don't like the size of the unit or the awful, dim, discolored display.
Help me save my Nexus from being returned:
There are some web pages that don't allow zoom. Bigger deal is that my magazine text in the Playstore app is very small and zoom isn't supported.
The 7 allows magnification if you tap it 3 times. This gives me good sized text. But page scrolling is "frozen". You can pull over to the next column, but it bounces back to where you started when you let go of the screen.
Is there any way to make the magnification function work so that when you scroll on page it will stay where you put it?
I am rooted.

Chrome has a option to force zooming on unsupported pages.
Firefox has a little book thing in the right side of the URL bar that enables Reader Mode. Basically it inverts the site (black background and white text), increases text size, and does a couple of other things to improve reading quality.
I know it's more of a work around than an actual fix for what you're asking, but I love Reader Mode.

[Q] Way to set home and lock screen wallpapers without cropping?

Hi guys!
I have been trying to set home and lock screen wallpapers without having to crop them, I want to use full images.
I tried using many apps - stock gallery, google photos app, picspeed, many ' pic2wallpaper' type of apps from play store..but none of them seems to work with our beloved note 4.
I have some 2K and 4K images that I want to use as wallpaper. But even the default images provided by samsung are cropped when selected as wallpaper.
Is there any other app that would autoscale the wallpapers to fit fullscreen, or maybe a specific size that we can manually resize the image to get the perfect fit without cropping(and the tool to be used to resize the image, if any)?
I am sure you awesome people here have already tried sorting this out
Thanks a ton!
Anyone?
Photo Grid
This may take several steps, but I am satisfied with my lockscreen now lol.
Download/open Photo Grid from the Play Store
Select Scrapbook (This will only work in Scrapbook mode)
Find the picture you want (You have to save the picture somewhere first if it's not in your camera roll)
Touch the picture. Then, in the lower right corner there will be an arrow going in a circle and it's blue. Hold down the little blue circle to stretch the picture out as tall or as wide as you like.
You will still be able to see some of the background, so touch the background and click on the Background button in the lower left corner. Select background of your choice.
Select Ratio at the bottom. Then, select the ratio 3:5 or smaller if you like.
Touch the picture again and resize with the blue arrow if you wish.
Then, hit save in the upper right corner.
I just thought of this, so I'm sure there may be an easier way. Let me know if this works for you, if you have already tried it or have found an easier solution.

Will try your suggestions. Been using Mont Blanc wallpaper for now lol
Try taking a screenshot of the full size wallpaper you want to use and then use the screenshot as the wallpaper.
Use image2wallpaper or slideshow hd live wallpaper

How to always show the toolbar on screen write for note 4

Every time i take a screen shot and start writing notes the blue toolbar keeps hiding and showing when i put pen on screen and move it away. It is a big distraction and not sure how i can change it.
I dont see the app setting or options anywhere and i believe it happens only on some versions mine is android 5.1.1
I love this device except for this tiny but very annoying distraction
