Itching Thumb A Must Have

I figured a lot of people would love this...
When you hit the "home" button it turns your phone into webOS style "cards" display of your recent locations (yes, with previews of the page and all). I personally find it amazing, best task switcher out there, period.
Double-tap takes you all the way to your actual home page.
You can even add shortcut widgets to the bottom under the "cards" or even use it as a secondary in launcher, launcher - if that made any sense.

There's a few similar ones.. I love this but the home tap option to expose all 7 homescreens is gone on this one. s

How? I have the paid and most recent version of LP and after playing around in the settings for a little while I couldn't figure out how to set an app to launch by swyping on the app button.
Thanks

maybe because the Korean version is already released, it has a newer version witch supports this feature, and the intl' will also support it.
but its not based on anything.. only me :cyclops:

I also think that the craftsmen will find a way)

That will be really disappointing if its only on the Korean Note 2.
After watching the videos of it yesterday I was definitely going to purchase the Galaxy Note 2 on launch day in the UK. But if its not a supported feature in the EU/N7100 models then I think I will hold off.

The multiscreen feature is also available in hong kong's note 2, which is an international version.

This looks awesome. However when I was watching it I was thinking "Sweet!!! I can finally answer texts while browsing the internet!" But after looking at the apps in the side bar I didn't see sms in there. So I wonder what apps will be supported in this feature and if it will be possible to incorporate mods to get other apps to work.

That's an awesome feature. Hopefully the international version also has this.
But if it doesn't has, i still go for the Note II

Sms is present as an option. in the first video, i can see the sms icon below the gallery icon. Samsung should be highlighting that feature because it brings a desktop like view to the note. Definitely ordering now. was going to wait to see the new nexus and features of the next version of Android, but this just sealed the decision.

My mistake, I'm using 'ultimate rotation control'.
It works great on my galaxy note 1.
One of the big reasons I'm using it is it allows 180 degree rotation so I'm not always hitting the capacitive buttons.

That is an amazing feature but of all the Note 2 videos I have seen, it's the first one I have seen that has that (half-circular) tab on the left side of the screen. Looks like it's brought up by holding the 'back button'. I wonder if its just that no one knows about this 'shortcut' to open this feature. Or could this be an updated version of TouchWiz we are seeing?

I think you can enable the multi-window from the settings, because it make sense that not everybody want to have the half circle on left border by default.
Lets hope it is available in the international version

So are we saying that stock launcher on note 2 doesnt rotate landscape??

The Google Experience .....

I haven't seen anyone really mention this if someone had I apologize. In flashing and modding my Note 3i have discovered that KitKat 4.4 is a popular topic. We now have some of the apps to flash to our devices and now we have the actual stock Android launcher from KitKat 4.4!!!!!! The Google Experience Launcher is amazing by far the best stock launcher ever and one of the smoothest I have ever used also. I have been using it for a day and after set up I am currently using it as my daily. The only thing I really don't like is that you are unable to change the icons on the home screen and there are no native gestures implemented but no big deal. Now they have implemented some major changes the app drawer now contains only your apps, widgets have their own section, you can arrange and add more home screens. Google Now is actually completely incorporated into the launcher itself and the search bar is constantly listening for you to say Ok Google to start a search using voice commands through Google Now. There are 3 apk's you will have to install to make this work they are totally dependant upon each other so if one is missing it will not open or work. I will post a link for you so you can download and give it a try for yourself I hope you guys enjoy and remember I did not create this or have anything to do with it I am just sharing it. If you brick your device it's not my fault ...

Just a heads up that you'll need to go into Google Now's language settings and change them to English UK and then back to English US for the search function to not start crashing. I actually just left mine on English UK and haven't run into any issues.

I have installed all three apps but I Dont have the always listening feature working. Is there a certain order that they have to be installed in? Any other special dependencies that need to be met? I've done the process of searching and changing laguages but not always listening working. The search works but I have to hit the button and it doesn't say "Say OK Google" to search. Any ideas?

If everything is installed and you have the launcher working just say Google or Ok Google while on the homescreen there is no special order to install the apps

[APP] Prism Assistant

Over the time of using HTC devices. I came to realize I used Blinkfeed for more of a news app than a Homescreen. Needless to say, finding ways of launching Blinkfeed along side another launcher can be tedious or "Rooty" routes. I found several different ways of launching or creating a shortcut for Blinkfeed in many different fassions. From using Nova launcher gesture actions to exposed module SenseToolbox. Im not a fan of rooting my new high class smartphone so i developed an easier method. This application was first designed for the HTCM7, than updated for the M8 and now revamped for the HTC10.
Prism Assistant is an intelligent shortcut to Blinkfeed or Sense Home. It has a combination of shortcuts allowed to the user for whatever they find easier to view their Blinkfeed to their advantage. Now, Sense Home needs to be installed on your device first for this application to work correctly. If your using a aosp or Cyanogenmod based custom rom, the unofficial port of Blinkfeed will work just as good. Prism Assistant will detect if Sense Home is or not installed and take action to help you.
PA allows the following for HTC10 devices
-Blinkfeed launcher shortcut
-Notification Listener shortcut
-Replace Google On Tap with Blinkfeed
You can grab Prism Assistant on Google Play here for a small fee https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.NxIndustries.Flip
Or
Free load and grab the apk here and wanna give it a test run first https://www.dropbox.com/s/u4qp6d746i9efii/PA-20.0-release.apk?dl=0
^i will update the dropbox version soon for anyone who doesn't have Google play or XDA Labs
Any comments, suggestions, and feedback welcomed.
Custom rom developers are welcomed to PM me for instructions of how to add Home Assist action provider shortcut to Sense Home if they would like the tweak baked in. Giving credit is the only requirement.

Reserved
One more screenshot...

Bump.
I will be looking into making Prism Assistant a more diverse app soon by giving users a choice to choose what application to set the Home Assistant activity to so its useful to users who also use Blinkfeed.

Have had this app since it 1st came out, Flip, Flick, then Prism Assistant... great work as always

Samsung Keyboard Themes

Just saw that Samsung added different keyboard themes (4 of them) 2 dark and 2 light one with keyboarders and one without of each color! I'm guessing its a Samsung Experience 9.5 feature i didn't see the option on the Note 8 or S9.
Can be found under Settings> General Management> Language and Input> On Screen keyboard> Samsung Keyboard> Keyboard Layout and Feedback

Thanks for the tip, I haven't noticed that before:good:

I also like resizing and handwriting feature. Unparalleled.

:good: cool thx.
Is it even more color?
