It is now ported to galaxy s2
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/galaxy-note-ii-multi-window-mod-ported-to-galaxy-s-ii/
come on any developers up to the challenge? after all it has nothing to do with hardware just a software thing
if the galaxy s2 can run it it only being dual core surely nexus 7 can

Galaxy s2 is baht the same family as the note. It had the required framework etc so its much easier.
But that does not mean it's impossible.

Its a great feature for a 10 inch tablet but for 7 inch its not something that you will be able to really use . text would be much to small to read.
I HAD it on the galaxy note 10.1 while i had it.. I do miss the drawing and handwriting the note can do thou.. might buy another one..

Bump.
Any progress on this front? Would love to utilize this feature on the N7!

Dual Boot/Chroot Galaxy Note

This thread will be for discussing getting Ubuntu/Debian/Xubuntu either in chroot or dual boot on the Galaxy Note. The excellent stylus support should make it much easier to use instead of fingers.
I don't have my hands on one yet but those who do can try it out and report back
i really hope in this!!!!
having ubuntu on my desktop, laptop AND smartphone would be absolutely fantastic!
Same debian partition that used to work on my Gal Tab 7 now runs on my Gal Note, albeit much more quickly
Too bad kernel still has no swap.

ubuntu and debian work chrooted on gnote
Don't get your hopes regarding the "excellent" stylus support. I run debian chrooted on the Note and the stylus is basically unuseable with it anyway. The reason is, it is too sensitive and registers before you even touch the screen, i.e. you hover it above the screen, it registers taps, very bad indeed... No precision, nothing...
That is not software error, its hardware error. Buy a new s-pen.
There are several YouTube videos showing the same error on any firmware or mod. Try a GB rom and use the phone over your head using the spen upsidedown. If it reacts before you touch the screen the spen is defective.

You are right, it is a hardware fault with my S-Pen... For some reason I thought it was the S-Pen design flaw.
Thread moved to General
Development is for actual development, not discussion. If something comes of this, then post the original work in Development.
So is it possible??
Well my project works great on the note which is using chroot. And if there's interest and maybe a few devs to help me it could be possible to get a native so long as we can sort drivers

If anyone is still interested in this project I would try to help devs to test and build a image. I don't know how to do but I would try to find it out if some dev wants to port Ubuntu, Arch Linux ... natively on our Note.

Yes, we get that. But I think the point the OP was hammering home was the fact that the Note is in its prime when it comes to handling multitasking....whereas other devices with different architecture/screen/resolution might not do that great of a job.
Nice vid!
Of course! The Note is the only Android device to be able to do that.
Cough cough.

I know, this is very sad. I went and watched some N900 reviews after you made this comment and WOW, I feel ripped off, our phone is over 10x more powerful than that thing gpu and all.
The only (that I can think of) in regards to why we don't have this level of multitasking would be because of **Battery Life**
I dunno though, I would still like the option!

i wouldn't say that at all. if people can be productive on their iPhones, and our screen is 2.5x larger, having the ability to split screen has tremendous potential.
it would be fantastic to say, web browse on one side and take notes on the other, or sms info to others. one big problem with this, in my quick testing, is that the keyboard is just way too big.
ive been saying for ages, we need a keyboard where you can select what percent of screen width to use, much like samsungs one handed keyboard

Really practical. The very day you could see the real multitasking on your device you would love it to the point of answering yourself how in the hell has been able to survive on your life until these moment. Because it not consist on wacht a random number of videos at the same time but on to be able to swype onto a random number of task on different points of progress without closing.
OTOH, the N900 screen is 3,5" and performs multitasking really nice.
I love my NOTE, but I miss my N900 multitasking system.

height isn't the issue - if you want split screen functionality you need a keyboard that only goes halfway across the screen.
its hard to explain unless you run overskreen yourself.
try opening a notepad and try to type in it with overskreen up.
Dude i really like your videos!! big fan already , i always show yr galaxy note cool videos to my friends and guess what , one of them traded his S2 for a G.Note !!

Math Teacher seeking Tablet!

Hi Everyone,
I am looking for tablet advice. I am a high school math teacher who teaches using SMARTboards. If you've never heard of this, it's basically a giant white board that is also a touchscreen (picture a 6 foot tablet mounted to the wall). It mirrors the PC in my classroom (via a projector mounted on the ceiling), and allows lots of fun interactive opportunities with my students. However, I am stuck at the front of the room with my back to my kids a lot. I want to change all that, so I want to buy a tablet to control the PC (which in turn controls the SMARTboard).
What I am seeking requires a tablet that could take over a Windows XP PC (wirelessly I assume - we do have WiFi access). Any suggestion on good apps for remote access would be appreciated here, but also I want to know this - would this system seem to be a good one with the Nexus 7?
Do you guys think the screen is large enough for this sort of application (solving math problems with a stylus, and this would be projected onto a large screen for my kids to see)? Or would you think a 10" screen would be better?
Also, would this idea work, technologically? WiFi access of PC... this should allow writing on the tablet to write on the PC... SMARTboard would then show what I'm writing since it is a clone of the PC screen... I just need to make sure that I can easily control programs remotely from the tablet.
I know this may sound like a mess, but I really want to do my homework before spending money I don't otherwise NEED to spend. My smartphone (EVO 4G LTE) does all I need right now, but this would be a toy that I can also use daily for work. Thanks for any input you guys have! Feel free to ask questions if what I said didn't make perfect sense. I just know that XDA is the place to go for tech questions, and this is an awesome community.
Check out this app called Jump Desktop on the Google play store, might be what you're looking for.

Splashtop 2 is really good, works great with my computer.
A 7in screen should be fine if the app in question can zoom, or you dont mind less space.
I notice that with my remote desktop it doesnt matter if im zoomed in unless i try to name a file, or if im using photoshop to paint.
Realvnc for the win !
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
I would imagine the smartboard uses its own software, could you list the boards make/model? We might be able to help out a bit more. Otherwise you'll just be connecting your tablet to your computer via remote desktop and then using it to control your smartboard. I would imagine you would definitly lose some functionality that way and it would be hard to control with the small screen.
I would suggest either getting a netbook or small laptop and just face the class using it or get a stool to set it on, or to go to the google play store online and see if your smartboard has an app.
Good luck
That app has great reviews - and is cheap too! Thank you for the suggestion! I wish I could test out this system first, haha. Oh well, I'm sure there's a return policy I can use if something won't work.

I have done this actually
I love my nexus but i do NOT think its big enough..
when my arm was in a sling from surgery for over 5 months.. I would use SPLASH TOP .
My tablet was a 10 inch Acer a500 tablet connected thru my netgear wifi router in close proximity . to my Wired connection on the same router. With HDMI MIRROR to 42 INCH HD TV.. i used handwriting and photo shop on the tv screen . i think the 10 inch tablet was ok but the hand writing is hard because of the size of the screen on the tablet Drawing something say the 3 inches tall 1 letter on the tablet will show up as 4 feet tall on that display ..
Your software could have some zoom features in it to correct this. Other wise it would be difficult to make it work... its hard for my to explain the issue .
very doable if your program on the computer can overcome the zoom issue.. i THINK This is what the post above mine was saying..

+1 for Splashtop, but I would imagine there is some sort of Smartboard app specifically for Android devices. If there is such an app, that would probably be your best bet, but I don't know.
Splashtop on the other hand was the smoothest remote control software I've used. It's free as well (as long as your using it on a local network).

if there is a app for the smart board then a 7 in tablet will likely work .. the issue is the resolution and more so pixel density .. If the app will let you project say 1-4 ratio or what ever you need to make it work and resize then you could have a winner...
we use something similar to that smart board at work for blue prints..
ohh and +1 more for splash top Its best and i have tried them all.. the issue could lie in the speed and network ability of the xp pc
Unfortunately there is no SmartBoard app yet. Apple is getting one this fall, and Android MAY in the future. As for now, u can't bank on that.
I'm thinking the Samsung Tab 2 10.1 would be a good choice. Or maybe I should look into Windows Tablets... Hmm.

I cosign those who said Splashtop and for a tablet, I would recommend a Transformer over the Galaxy Tab.

If you can wait till october- November I suggest you look into windows 8 tablet/PC which could do all of your computer functions with pen input and run all your computer applications.
I have a friend who is also an elementary school teacher and I recommended this device to her as she is also using the smartboard. I haven't used it myself but I think the size of screen is good for it unless you also already have a 10 inch tablet. But to each is own I know I write extremely small and she is more of a bubbly letter kind of gal so I can fit write more you could say.

I checked out tablets at Fry's Electronics today... 7" is definitely too small for this application.
Does anyone else have issues with accuracy of the styli out there today? I tried a few tablets and a few styli... I couldn't write an equation to save my life! It kept not reading it or appearing slightly above or below where I wanted. Then I tried the S pen on the Sammy Note 10.1... It was incredible! It was like writing on paper with a pencil! I don't wanna spend that much, but man that thing was incredible... I think that's what I may need.
Thanks for all of the help guys! Any other tips are still appreciated but I'm pretty sure I won't be a Nexus 7 owner...

One thing that a teacher had was a Mobi mobile interactive whiteboard. It is a thing that hooks up to your computer and is exactly what you are looking for. Also they have clickers with a program that yo ask questions and they key in the answer and you can see who is right/Wong and what answer they had. Hope I helped!

Samsung Ativ 500t SmartPC

I have the Samsung Ativ 500t SmartPC, which has the atom processor and is running window 8 pro. I have to say love it. I had a Sammy 7 series slate which was running win 7 and I did the upgrade. While I can say the 7 series was faster (i5 processor), I really like the 500. The atom is way better than I expected, really snappy. Having the s-pen built into the device, and a keyboard that docks similar the the Asus transformer series are really great options. Just wanted others thought etc, and just get a discussion going on this tablet. :highfive:

Excellent! Starting to feel only. .
My Note 2 killed your phone.
I have been looking at full win 8 tablets and seriously was thinking the Ativ 500 but when I heard of some issues I kept searching. I found the Dell Latitude 10 that I have my eye on. Removable battery, full size SDXC storage, on top of what the Ativ has. The only thing lacking is the pen with it and inside the tablet. It does have a digitizer so if get a proper stylus like the s pen you can do handwriting as well.
I think they both are great, and I am torn on waiting for Bay Trail which allows more than the current 2gb memory. I am worried that the current Atom won't be able to run Polycom CMA Desktop/M100 video client.

I have a 500T as well and really like it. Upgraded to Win8 Pro and Media Center. I've been using it as a walkaround TV with my Silicondust HD Homerun Prime. Works well.
What is "CDA" and how is it used to dual boot Android? I did some basic searches and couldn't find anything about it. I'd be willing to give it a try. I love Android and on this hardware it'd be pretty cool.

Well I tried the incipio case I mentioned, but returned it. It fit on the body of the tablet well, but the flap had edges that are kinda sharp. Also, it has no way of locking in place when closed so it sort of flops around. Not worth imo 60 bucks. Took it back to Att. They had a Belkin portfolio case in the store for 70, however I didn't like the build quality of it. Incidentally, neither have a hole for the spen. The Att version doesn't an spen. So, right now I am using a sleeve for an 11 inch macbook air. It actually fits perfectly. I am now waiting to get a portfolio case. I sent an email to Samsung asking for a book cover case. Hopefully they will make one. I always like theirs the best.

I've had this for 2 weeks and can't get it to work or figure out how to?
Also I've had it hang up and reboot a few times or have had to hard reset it because it locked up, anyone with these experiences?
I'm thinking of taking it back unless this may be a one off machine that I should just exchange it for another.

There are currently 4 different models of the 500T and it looks like only one of them actually has NFC:
http://forum.tabletpcreview.com/samsung/53961-samsung-ativ-smart-pc-model-difference-features.html
I have the XE500T1C-A04US which means no NFC. It would be nice I suppose, but honestly I almost never use it on my phone which does have NFC.
As for cases... man there's a serious lack of options out there right now. I don't like either of the ones sold by AT&T, but those are the only ones I'm aware of at any price. Seems weird that Samsung still doesn't have anything for their own product.

S4 as a mobile office?

Goodmorning,
i own a beautiful Galaxy Nexus and i'm very happy with it.
Now i want to buy another device for my business and dedicate the nexus for my private things.
I was wondering if samsung galaxy S4 is better than Galaxy note II for my intentions: use bluetooth keyboard and mouse. MHL adapter to connect the device to a TV Screen.
My Nexus lets me make all this stuff but it's a little bit slow and the output is only 720p
what do you think about?

Its more mature, has a longer battery life, bigger screen for spreadsheets and document reading.
The stylus is very useful on doing fine work (highlighting signatures and annotation of documents etc)
And its cheaper...

If you're plugging into a large monitor then the GS4 should be perfect as it will show in HD1080P in the monitor, it also has better CPU/GPU and newer Android version than the Note2.

Goodmorning,
i own a beautiful Galaxy Nexus and i'm very happy with it.
Now i want to buy another device for my business and dedicate the nexus for my private things.
I was wondering if samsung galaxy S4 is better than Galaxy note II for my intentions: use bluetooth keyboard and mouse. MHL adapter to connect the device to a TV Screen.
My Nexus lets me make all this stuff but it's a little bit slow and the output is only 720p
what do you think about?

i got a Samsung smart TV 32".
I knew that Galaxy Note II and GS4 had the same video output (1080P). Am I wrong?

From the standpoint of an executive ... there is nothing software wise that the S4 can do that the Note 2 cannot do... but there is more that the Note 2 can do that the S4 cannot FROM THE USABLE AS AN OFFICE perspective.
Software is also more mature on the Note 2
S4 is still new and while it may have the new GPU/CPU for a business person... unless your into multimedia and games development... its not that big of a deal.
Newer is not always better from a commercial and executive standpoint.
