Would be nice if he had put links or names of the apps.
Hi! I have a Galaxy S4 and I use S-Voice to create Tasks.
Unfortunately on the S4 there is no Task Widget like on other Samsung devices.
I found and apk from another Galaxy (I think the Note 2) that have this widget and I tried to replace the actual S4 SPlannerAppWidget.apk in the system/app with the one I found. Everything seems to work since I have now the task widget, but the calendar widget is a bit different, I think due to the different screen resolution and is not optimized for the use with the S4.
I thought the best way to have both the widget, the new one from the S4 and the task from the Note 2 would be to install both the apk, but this is not possible since they have the same package name. So I tried to change the name by decompiling the Note2 apk with apktool and changing all the references within the smali and res files form SPlannerAppWidget to SPlannerAppWidgetTasks.
Unfortunately this does not seem to work and the new apk I have recompiled don't show up anything one put in the system/app directory.
I have joined my new apk... I know many people are looking for a solution about the task widget and this could be a useful solution if someone with more experience than me in modifying an apk could take a look at it and discover why this do not work.
Many thanks in advance.
This is a second request so that if some great mind here can help me install the s planner from note 2 to my rooted note 3
Please consider me a noob and give step by step instructions.
Please . This new s planner is such a waste.

as far as I can tell, GNIII S Planner is the same as GNII's, but only with different color theme. they replaced the 3D brown theme with a simpler white/green flat theme.
Only difference I realized is in the Month view, it now shows dots (one per event) instead of showing the even title itself, which was not even practical as it showed only first word or so, and only 2 events. all you have to do is to click the day and show details below.
it is not a waste. but just themed differently, however I can understand if some people like the old shape, I certainly do. but functionality wise, almost the same.
There is huge amouny of difference between the s planner of note 2 and note 3. The most important beibg
1. When adding event or task in the older s planner there were options to add a S NOTE or an image . It was productive and practical for daily use.
2. Hovering the s pen over a date in month view, an option to add a handwritten note appeared which again was so productive and practical.
Both the above options are missing in the newer s planner.
Hence the request.

I can not believe Samsung removed the Task widget on de Note 3 (along with other functionalities on the whole S-Planner) .... It was the most useful tool to me and I assumed for granted It would be on the Note 3 ... I can hardly imagine the reasoning sequence that led the programmers to think that S-Planner was too good and complete so it needed to be shrunk
I, too, would like to know how to do this. See also this thread for more information.
Here are the steps I did:
1) Rooted GN3 using Root de la Vega method
2) Mounted /system as R/W (using ES File Explorer - Root Explorer)
3) Renamed GN3 Splanner to SPlanner_gn3.apk
4) Copied Note 2 S Planner apk to Note 3 /system/app directory
5) Changed its permission to 644 (rw-r--r--)
6) Rebooted
Despite this, I still don't see the GN2 version of SPlanner anywhere (not in the list of apps, drawer, etc.). When I click on the SPlanner shortcut, it still brings up the GN3 version. What steps am I missing?

I think you need to move the original apk out of /system/app - the app id is defined in the manifest and is independent of the file name. In this case the package name is com.android.calendar. If you add the S Planner apk from Note 2 and keep the original apk (althougth renamed) it will still be a duplicate package name.

I don't even see an "S Planner" in my app drawer. What are you guys talking about?

Thanks for the advice. I moved the original GN3 apk out of /system/app and then rebooted again. However, I still cannot open the GN2 SPlanner on the GN3. It simply doesn't show up anywhere. Would wiping the dalvik cache help?
Anyone with any solution?

Unfortunately, I don't think the GN2 SPlanner will run on the GN3. It could be an issue of a Samsung software signature not matching. As I wrote, I tried basically everything I could think of to try and get it to work, with no luck. Hopefully, someone else out there has a solution.
There's three things about the GN3 version that I don't like:
1) Full-screen mode. Ugh...how am I supposed to see what time it is and the battery level? Yes, I know can temporarily touch the top of the screen to have it display the status bar, but this is only temporary.
2) Inability to set default reminder time. Now everything defaults to 15 minutes, which results in me having to set the reminder for each new task manually. Total pain.
3) I don't like how they changed the month view. I preferred the GN2 version where I saw both a listing of the day's tasks inside each day box, as well as listed below.
Time to go look at an alternative 3rd-party solution, I guess...
same issue- slightly different question?-noob
GS3 w/ OS 4.4 safestrap - touchwhiz rom- somehow all my system apps like splanner/ clock and gone- they are in several backups on my internal and external (SD) and i can see them in root explorer - how can i get them to load- I am a total noob- patience and language for a 5 year old is needed,thanks !

There is an APP which give you the functionality of having multiple windows on your device[/B][/U], However its not exactly like the Samsung galaxy multiwindow found on the the galaxy note but it does give the functionality to have a;
- multiwindow web browser
- multiwindow Gplayer
- multiwindow Tiny apps ( like notepad etc)
and a multiwindow youtube player.
You guys can check this out if you want, its not exactly like the actual MultiWindow but it does the job in the sense that you can use these apps similarly to the Galaxy note with these similar features that for me actually look pretty alright. I dontexperience ANY lag when using this so far....
How to get this
Basically there are 5 apps required for this.
The main one is Swapps- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.schiztech.swapps&hl=en
Then we have the features which give the apps so we require these apps on the side:
Floating Browser- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=gpc.myweb.hinet.net.PopupWeb&hl=en
Floating Youtube- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sudsoftware.floatingyoutubepopupplayer&hl=en
G Player (SuperVideoFloating)- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=gpc.myweb.hinet.net.PopupVideo&hl=en
Tiny Apps lite- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ragingtools.tinyappslite&hl=en
Download and install all of these and then open Swapps. In the General settings/Pad sections change amount or starred apps to about for because we downloaded 4 addons.
Now go home and slowly flick from the right to open the MultiWindow menu. and 4 add signs are there. Find and add those addon apps you downloaded and Viola!!:laugh:
Let you know
Giving it a try right now

I dont take credit BTW, just what I found:laugh:
Apologies if this isn't the best place to ask the question, and if someone can recommend a better place - then I'm happy to post there.
I have a Samsung Note 10.1 (N8010) which I installed Omni on because I was fed up of waiting for Samsung to provide an update.
I also have an Asus tablet and I really like the Asus build in app MyLibrary.
I can point it at a folder, and it renders a thumbnail for pdfs in that folder, and it seems to be a fairly responsive reader for largish pdfs (about 100MB).
Is there a way to get Asus MyLibrary to work on a Samsung Note 10.1 (N8010)?
I've tried putting the apk into System/App without success.
If not - can someone recommend a good App that gives me a thumbnail view for pdfs in a configured folder, and can handler largish files. I've tried PerfectViewer which does an excellent job of the bookshelf but it seems to struggle with largish Pdfs..
Any help would be greatly appreciated..
