Chrome: Tabs on the bottom? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was wondering if there exists a mod or extension to relocate the tab bar to the bottom in chrome for Android? Would look great with PA and be more usable on tablets IMO.
OR, implement a slider on the left with your tabs as a list (I forget the name of that UX design, a la g+).
I may try and implement this sometime if none exists.

Question about S-Note

When I use the S-Note program, and I create a new note I am having an issue. Let's say I start off with a blank note and I write the date and my name in it. When I tap on the + symbol to create a new page, nothing happens. So my real question is, how do I add another pag to an existing note. I really love this tablet. I upgraded from a Thinkpad Tablet which also had a pen. Nice tab, but this one is superior in so many ways. Now if only I could figure out S-Note.

Bottom right for new page... 1/1 should change to 2/2 etc.
See ss.

Well, dafuq? Now it starts working. I tried both pen and finger before. Other than making the icon light up, nothing happened. Now I go through the process of taking a SS and editing it, uploading it and so on. And now S-Note decides to behave?? Ok. Weird, but ok.

Ok so after the JB update I cant seem to save my own custom pens or access the productivity tools. Are those available in every template?
Also, even though I have told S-Note to ignore finger/hand input, when I rest my palm on the screen it zooms in. So um yeah.
I really miss pen only mode that my Thinkpad Tablet had. Is that even an option? I've dug around in the system settings for the S-Pen and I was unable to find anything like that.

Ok ok I figured it out.
It's the template.
I can do formulas and shape matching in the note template, but not in the memo template. Which is oddbecause I would think grap paper would be better suited for match and stuff like that than a yellow legal pad.

You can change the background of any note by tapping on the note Settings in the upper right corner and selecting change background. You can even import another image to use as a background. I just have not found where you can save the imported image as a new background template.

If you do please let us know how. A lot of people have been looking for a way to do that for quite a while. For awhile it seemed the S-note update may have that ability but it doesn't seem to.

Enable it and find out? Or do a super simple Google search that would have taken less time to find out than create this thread.

PIE is basically a fancy set of soft keys. It is activated by touching a trigger area. It is mainly used in place of a navigation bar so that you can use the entire screen.
You are able to adjust the trigger area to the top, either side or bottom.

Oic. I get it now. Tq.

You can set up something similar in the AOSP browser (SETTINGS>>LABS>>QUICK CONTROLS)... and with EXPANDED DESKTOP enabled (in CM based ROMs), you have 100% of your screen given over to what is being displayed... so no nav or status bar.
Everything is controlled via the PIE touch selection, usually with your thumb.
I'm not a big fan to be honest... I can see the attraction with a 'phone, where screen 'real estate' is at a premium...
...but on a tablet... ???

(Q) Sidebar like app?

Is there an app like sidebar where I could open it just like sidebar but instead of icons it would be all my apps listed? I thought I seen it on a video somewhere with someone using it on a Rom.

Try windows 7 taskbar on the playstore, thats what I use. There are various other taskbars as well, cant really remember at the top of my head, search for them on the playstore they are easy to find
GMD Gesture control will allow you to call launchpads, which are basically floating windows containing apps, using gestures.

Enable Swipe on Note 3 phone app

How do you enable swipe between tabs of the phone app? Like you can swipe through photos in the gallery.
It is so much easier to operate with one hand by this way.
Any one? Noone know?
Yeah Samsung prefers tabbed non scrollable apps a la gingerbread, you'll need another phone app if you want to move between tabs just like with settings. Don't know if Samsung engineers just hate one hand operations but it seems that way.

Dual-use Navbar Icons

HI, I'm scissors_cut_paper. I have recently taken a disliking to sacrificing my home screen real estate for a dock. I am currently using slimkat, which has the ability to assign a long press function and custom icon to navbar buttons. To that end, I have created some dual use navbar icons, based on stock kitkat, but representing both functions of the navbar key. Now i'm no themer, but paint.net is pretty easy to use. If anyone has good ideas or request I may entertain them, though I would recommend having a play yourself.
To set these keys/icons in slimkat use settings/navigation/navigation bar/buttons.
The current icons I have made are-
Notification pulldown/longpress Quicksettings (Never reach for the top of your screen again)
Back/longpress kill app
Home/longpress application draw
Recents/longpress menu
Filemanager/longpress ?

All credits to slim for implementing the functionality, all i did was make some buttons.
Video of implementing (not everyone will need this, took me a while to figure it out though) http://youtu.be/ist7kSStb9k

any videos on you using it? Im interested...
YouTube link added in OP. Can do a quick video of how to implement (in slimkat, anyway) if anyone needs? Also did some cleanup, changed file explorer icon to better match stock theme.

Very nice man...your wallpaper is taking many threads by storm now too...
Slimkat also has navring features for those who don't like docks.

Still trying to figure out what I want to do with my ring.I've got shortcuts set up in the QS, combined with the pulldown button in navbar means they appear right above where your finger already is.
