I bought the full version to try it out. So far so good. Runs pretty smoothly on the Iconia. Thanks for the heads up.

I tried it, but I dont like it. The one long continuous home screen is cool, but I dont like the dullness that is the app drawer. All I want is the stock launcher with the ability to go to 1 home screen and change the grid size. Anyone know of such a thing for honeycomb?
i do not get the need to change to launcher ui.when I have my tablet in my hand im looking at a app I use. Don't care much for all the not needed flash .keep it simple save the CPU cycles and memory for the apps and browser.
With that said the pics look nice. Just dont see tthe point
Good responses I didn't like it cuz I have SPB shell and this launcher still needs alot of work to it in my eyes. That being said FOR THOSE THAT WANT CHANGE and don't wanna spend 15 on a 3D launcher this might be of interest which is why I decided to post

Who needs an App Drawer when you can have these Folder Cubes.
This video is after an hour or so of goofing with it.
No way was this a quick process. But it was easy to do.
Yes I did move every app from my App Drawer to the Folder
Cube on the desktop.
And no. You haven't lost or began to need reading glasses.
Just try imagine that I took the time to clear up the video a little bit.
There's not a lot that I can do to lessen the pointlessness. So. Much like the video. I didn't
even try to correct that one. Sorry E.R.
Not too bland eh?
It is easy to see that the larger icons take a few seconds to load. I will send a link to this video to the dev and see if there is a way to put large, and even customized icons (for the ones that it doesn't find.) into the cache somewhere. Maybe it will be an easy fix. Other than that I have to say that it is pretty nice on the Iconia. I don't regret buying it one bit. Now to find the Nook Color...

Look for a app called Folder Organizer.. I have it and set it up once it allows you create groups with menus on your home screen .. not exactly what your looking for but you might like it.. also DENSITY CHANGER APP.. im not sure the exact name .. changes the screen density . This changes the icon size not sure if it will allow you to drop more on there or not..

No problem. This app works just as well on the Nook Color as it does on the Acer. (?!?Maybe even better?!?) Thanks again for sharing the find. I'll use this for a solid couple of days and report back on the stability. As well as any news. So far so good though.
hey, just got a nexus 4, i need 3 particualr apps, anyone recommend some good ones?
1) a note taking program, i've been using the default ios notes on my ipod touch 4g and it's sweet. need something sweet and simple like it, not overly complicated.
2) need a voice memo program, again similar to the default ios voice memos.
3) need a music player that will let me skip or go to previous track by pressing and holding the volume buttons. on ios, i did this with activator and so i need something similar. i don't want to take out my phone on the subway everytime i want to skip or repeat a track
edit: 4) actually i have another question, is there any thing like spotlight search for android? on IOS, the OS indexes everything and so when you scroll all the way left, you just type in the name of the the thing you want to search and it'll show up in music, or movies or whatever. it's very useful. i know google's default search does this, but anything better?
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!!!

a lot of people like catch notes. but i use an app called freenote. its a normal note deal. but it also lets you use a stylus to write whatever you want. and then it shrinks it down and sticks it in a line. it works flawlessly. better on a n7 or n10 though.
as far as voice recorder, there are tons of them in the play store.
if you root and install aokp. you get the features you are wanting for music built into the rom.
Try power amp it supports headphone controls and is the best overall music player I've ever used it has a great ui and lock screen widget
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
for note taking i recommend colornote. Works well for me.
For voice memo either you can use default voice recorder or use evernote for above and this purpose.
For music there are plenty of apps available. Try them out.
I am sure you will find lots of stuff better compare to iOS.
I know you didnt ask for this but I recommend cerberus. Its like the find my iPhone App. Its great incase you loose it

because i came from IOS? and i love some of the features of it? when you love some features or some apps, you're always going to try to find something similar. human nature. and like someone stated, i'm in the transitioning process.
For note taking, try SpringPad, Evernote, and Catch Notes, then pick your preference. They all have voice memos and back up your information to the cloud so you can access them from a PC, too. I used to use Color Note on my old phones, but moved on for the cloud storage and the better UI of the above mentioned.

The stock google music player supports changing songs. I use it since i got the phone. Press twice and it goes to the next song. I think pressing three times it takes you back a song. Im on stock 4.2. Im using my samsung vibrant's one button headset.

its better to have the functionality built in and fast than it is to add apps to do these things and eventually slow down the phone. its also nice to be able to customize the entire experience. from quick settings all the way down to the on-screen buttons. and if you stick nova (launcher in play store) on there... you get full customization of everything in between. along with uber speedy transitions and animations. without slowing down the os.
your phone is made to dev on. it is near impossible to brick. use it for what it is made for and i promise you will enjoy the ride.
spotlight (universal search) is patented. so android cannot do that.

Hi, long time forum lurker, first time post.
Image done in sketchbook pro
these are my best so far lol
This is my most recent, though I did many on my 2012 10.1. I have only done 2 on the new one so far.
Actually I will post both of the ones I've done on my 10.1 2014, why not.
Haven't really started to explore the artistic side of the Note and can't wait to start either tbh but this was my first attempt - not the best I know but a start anyways.
P.s I love minions haha

It's pretty similar to SketchBook in terms of what it does although it doesn't have the wider selection of fancy preset brushes. I've listed below a few advantages (and disadvantages) which made me use it more than SBP:
Pros:
- More layers on a 4K canvas. Depending on what tablet you use, you can have 16 layers even if you max-out the canvas size.
- More levels of undo and redo function (can probably go over 100 if you adjust the settings). I think SketchBook only has 10 levels of undo and redo. You can even undo layer merging in Artflow.
- More layer blending options.
- Smoother brush engine, particularly if you want to replicate pencil work. IMO anyway since experience is subjective.
- Awesome customer support. They actually listen to customer's problems and reply to you personally and quickly. And more often than not, will issue an update that will fix your problem quicker than the devs at Sketchbook Pro.
- More frequent improvement updates that introduces enhanced or added features.
Cons:
- No portrait mode.
- Fewer preset brushes.
- No Copic color presets (i kinda miss this the most)
Here's a few screenshot of the interface of Artflow:

No portrait mode? Thats kind of a biggy, I dont think I've drawn anything on my note 2014 in landscape mode, it just seems more comfortable in portrait for sketching... I'm surprised that it is locked to landscape, seems strange!

Yeah, at first it kind of bothered me too since i came from SBP. But i learned to live without portrait mode when i think of the fact that this is the same way i draw digitally on my laptop using a graphics tablet since i don't reorient my laptop monitor to portrait just to do portraits. But i think the devs are working on integrating portrait mode, it's just a matter of time before its implemented.

One of the software features that isn't getting much press but one that I'm hugely looking forward to is the ability to hide the On Screen Nav Buttons on an app by app basis.
I've never been 100% behind Google's decision to advocate the On Screen Nav Buttons. A huge waste of screen real estate sitting there doing nothing while you read/play etc. The expectation was that developers would choose to hide them when they weren't needed but that never really happened. Some developers got behind the idea (thanks!) but even Google has inconsistent behavior when dealing with them.
Now we can choose to display them or not on an app by app basis. A swipe up from the bottom of the screen displays them again.
There are a number of delightful touches like this one on the G3.
Great work LG.

I agree. Even though it's easy enough to root the phone and force immersive mode, I applaud LG for implementing something that should be on every applicable Android phone, yet isn't. I'm very much looking forward to the phone becoming available, whenever that may be.
Though a nice effort by LG, there are a lot of games that use up motions for movement. Anyone into game emulators will especially have issues. Not to mention not all apps work with it, including web browsers.
I prefer my S4 having buttons at the bottom. The irony is the G3 5.5" display is the same size as the 5" display S4 for some apps and navigation.
Still, LGs effort is MUCH better than nothing.

Browsers do work with it. I say 'browsers' but I can only confirm Chrome and the stock browser.
In the instances that it might cause a problem for things like emulators then just don't include them in the list. It's an opt-in feature on an app per app basis. Best of both worlds really.

seems to work perfectly with chrome and stock browser and pretty much any app that i select on my phone. I have to say LG really listens to people and implement their suggestions on their devices. I hate wasting screen real estate especially when i'm playing games or watching a video in an app that can't force the nav bar to minimize. LG solved this problem.
not all apps, I guess

This sounds a very good feature and something that everyone should be doing, the thing is though I haven't seen this mentioned in any reviews I've seen or read and that's quite alot! As mentioned I'd prefer hard buttons ala Samsung phones but because they've dropped FM Radio I wont be buying one of those any time soon.
Does anyone know if there's the one handed mode from the G Pro 2 that shrinks the whole screen down to a size of your choice? Again was featured and mentioned in G Pro 2 reviews but is not something I've heard about on the G3

It's a nice feature for sure, but gets old after awhile. I hate constantly having to swipe up to bring them up to hit the back button. It's cool on some apps, then others it's not. For whatever reason I can't get it to go away in YouTube. This is on 4.4.2 on a g flex though.

It's a shame there is no pie like control system in the stock rom but it's a lot better than other stock roms where you can do absolutely nothing with the on screen buttons.
It's nice to use for certain apps such as a news app or game where you don't need buttons. Other then that out doors get annoying to swipe up, but I'm glad LG included it.

On G4 they move multi window function to recent button which you cant start by long pressing it ! You have to stop whatever you are doing (eg watching youtube) and open recent windows and open another one. Thats means you video will be stopped. Am i only one who thinks this is stupid thing they did on this new UI ?
Multi window on Note 4 is so awesome. On G3 it was so so but on G4 they completely ruined it. I hope we soon have some modes to make it usefull.
Whats your thought ?
I think it's a little silly to actually try to do dual windows on such a small screen, but each to their own. It comes in handy when I need to write an email while watching a video though.
For me is disappointing since just few apps are supported...
You can add a dual window home button

And don't even try to use any productivity apps... Once you open the keyboard it takes up both windows making it completely useless.

The one on the S6 is not only noticeably smoother but it supports more apps and is just overall more refined. I used the one on the G4 and its really not as good
I'm disappointed with multi window as well, but honestly I kind of expected it. It is the same as the G3. The good news is that once we gain root permissions, a simple build.prop change fixes some of the major limitations. Note my highlighted line should be changed
from
persist.splitwindow.support_all=false
to
persist.splitwindow.support_all=true.
But for now it is severely limited!
