Air gestures features for 3rd party apps? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Loving the phone, but all the nifty features are solely for certain apps. Is it possible to make apps like adobe reader or Polaris office air gesture capable?
How about gestures working while on multi window?
Is this possible?
Any input on this is welcomed!

I have not looked into it myself, but it is my understaning that the developer would have to add support by using the functions provided by samsung.
So unless the developers for Adobe or Polaris tell theirs apps to look for the features of the phone, you will not be able to.

[Q] Multi Window mod for s4?

Couldn't find this anywhere but on the s3 the devs had a mod to use ANY and EVERY app on multi view. Is this mod available for the s4 yet? It's annoying not being able to use certain apps simultaneously other wise great phone
Also, do you think that devs will be able to make any mods or tweaks with the air view/gesture features? Like switch between recent apps with the wave of a hand or something?
Works on s4!

It works exactly as advertised. After enabling other apps, a simple reboot is needed. From then on, whatever app you've added to multi Window will be available to use with any other app in multi Window.

Touchwiz vs. November & other Launchers

Is the S-Pen or any other functionality lost when a 3rd party launcher is used? If some functionality is lost, what is last? Can you increase the number of rows or columns for icons on home pages with Touchwiz?

My keyboard is too smart for it's own good, I was trying to say "Nova" launcher, not "November". Does Touchwiz allow you to increase the number of icon tows and columns on the home screen?

Does the default Touchwiz that comes with the phone allow you to alter the number of rows and columns for icons?

Touchwiz columns and rows
The hack you are showing me is the only way to have more columns and rows with Touchwiz?
I understand that custom launchers still allow the s-pen functions to operate.
However, will a custom rom say a cm10.1 based rom allow this as well as allow the syncing between the note and the smart watch?
If not, how could I over come this, I want a cm10.1 which allows me to use all the s=pen functions and smart watch functions properly..
Appreciate any help.

You can't. S pen features are built into the tw framework.

In that case is there any two based rom or launcher that allows custom themes?

It's the month after October:laugh::laugh:
maybe what the OP meant is Nova Launcher
I have tested out Nova Launcher for a few days, found one little thing, the write with your pen function on the samsung keyboard makes nova and or the keyboard crash.

[Request] Devs pls unite!

Hey everyone!
This phone is awesome but it has IMHO a small fallback which is the lack of some true multitasking capabilities.
What I mean is although we have Qslide it is most probably useless if we can't run any app in it.
Just like Galaxy Note series have the Multiwindow manager app or Spwn window app that allows just any app to run in this mode, we should have this on our G2 with Qslide.
It will be awesome. Just imagine you are playing a game and you get whatsapp so you check it on the go and continue playing. Or browsing the web and you check the gmail you just got without leaving the browser.
BTW that's what I do with Halo on Paranoid android on my Nexus 4. However it's a waste to dumb the awesome stock Rom of the G2 to just get this advantage.
Please devs consider this as a serious and urgent request. I know many want this.
Hope I was a dev, I would have helped but I am willing to test.
Thanks and regards!

Well looks like I was wrong! It looks like nobody wants this feature!
But what is bugging me is that with over 60 views, I didn't get any "+1" or "agreed" replies, or even "no need" or "STFU" replies or any kind of reply.
Have a nice day everyone!
+1. Nice to have Whatsup on the top and scrolling through news for example. Nice feature to get. I am sure someday we can get it. ))
It's probably just a matter of the apps being built for it, and tricking the Qslide into letting you use non LG apps for it.
The Devs did it fairly quickly on my Galaxy Note 10.1
I'm afraid it's not THAT easy for us as it was on the note. I had it on my note 10.1 and it's now available on note 3. Also let's not forget about the half-screen double apps running at same time (i dunno what it's called ); they also modified it to allow any app do that.
Wish it happens anytime soon!

I don't understand why someone would even want qslide when you have the native android multi tasking abilities?
I told you why bro. It's just like Halo if you ever tried it on Paranoid android Roms. The native multitasking requires you to quite one app to be able to use the other.
Qslide (and multiwindow in note) allows you to run an app simultaneously while you are using another app and on top of it.
It's much much more convenient. If you've never tried it I can understand your thoughts!

I can't deny your point at all. Once I tried the Halo from PA I really think this guy bring the multi-tasking to another level by other means. Brilliant feature! Custom ROM with Halo is the first choice of my flashing hobby by then.
However, with LG G2 I would like to stay with the stock. It has really good features with ease to access and use that makes all the things so convenience. I would also like to see very much the implementation of Qslide with any 3rd party apps...or Halo ported to stock ROM since it's open source now

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.

[Q] Which 3rd party S-Pen apps do you use?

I'm curious if anyone has come across any great 3rd party apps that work well with the s-pen?
Personally, I'm feeling a little bit of a gap between the Action Memos and S-Note. (Action memos are only a post-it size, and S-Note takes a bit too long to load and navigate for jotting down quick notes).
I've tried papyrus briefly. Not bad.

S-pen voice is a good one. Find it at the Play Store
