Is there by any means possible a way to import the old note 2 feautres that were ripped from the note 3 to the note 3 .. root or custom apks ? .. i mean feautres like the quick commands where you hold the spen and drag up anywhere and it shows a panel where you can execute many quick customizable commands many of which are present in the action memo but commands like turning on/off wifi, wifi-direct, bluetooth all together or opening any app ... another thing is the pen switcher that is a quick switch between different pen styles and the eraser with just a cllick of the spen instead of air command in the snote because it it really helpful in drawing and projects .. selecting text by holding the spen button and dragging along the text .. double tap to top of the list , etc...
or can samsung be cooperative and add it on the next update maybe ??

I have two quick questions on the note 3 before I pick one up.
1. Is there anyway to open a small app without using the pen, drawing the little box and selecting the app. Looking for a way to easily open a small window app.
2. Photo+ includes awesome movies, the device I tested let you create it, but would crash when you save it. Anyone have it working?
thanks
yes, you can open app in a mini window withot the s pen, look for these apps, pen window laucher and pen window manager
Hey guys, actually Im using Note 2 with air command features but id like to know which system files make the hovering blue blob to happen when air view is enabled...when in photo gallery or video gallery
when we pressed the button on spen i used to get options like - share via, edit, delete etc
ive tried to change my gallery to Note 3 but still it wont work other air view and air command features are working fine.
thanks
So I realized with the Note4 taking a screenshot with the Note 4 got a little more annoying.
On the Note3, I can pull out the S-Pen, hold the S-Pen button and press and hold on the screen to screenshot.
This no longer works on the Note4. You need go select from the s-pen functions and it will take the screenshot and make go through a few steps before saving.
I just tried it on my note 3 and it did a screen write, where it took a screen shot and went into a screen edit mode where I can write on the image. So its the same as pressing the button on the stylus and selecting "Screen write". Which is the same on both note 3 and note 4. The only thing that they seem to have taken out is being able to do a screen write by the method you mentioned. Which was redundant anyway. Also that function is now for multi-select like a mouse function. So if you hold the button in email, or gallery, then you can drag the stylus up or diagonally across the screen to select mulitple email or images at one time.

I like it. Works great
NOTE 4
I understand you wanting to use the spen function but why not just swipe your hand across the screen to take a screenshot, a lot faster imo; just my 2ยข...
Or disable option for editing when you take screen shot
My fingers are crossed that gmd or some of the other devs that had previously made tools relative to the spen will get cracking on the newest code. That way we can customize it to whatever we like best. I was thinking the same thing with the screenshot stuff.
Home+power does the trick, no pen required.

Hi everybody!
I'd like to know your opinion on the implemented gestures on our Note 4? Do they work the way you want them to?
I myself do have the following problems from time to time:
1) Pop up window gesture -> pulling down the notification bar instead
2) Shrink the whole screen size -> activating something different
3) Activating multi window side bar by holding down the back button -> some apps seem to react as if I used the back button
Many greetings
pop-up window never fails for me.
in fact, I regularly trigger it by accident when I try to access the tab slide or address bar in Atlas(web browser)
and for multi-window I use the recent app screen, or more often just floating windows.
Interesting, so it's the other way round for you as far as popup windows are concerned.
Recent app screen seems to be the easiest way, but unfortunately the apps have to be opened already to be available.
I came across this article talking about how to activate "condensed" display mode on Galaxy S7/ S7 edge. I thought I'll try it myself, I went into Nova Launcher widgets. Clicked on "activities" and enabled condensed mode, I then went searching to see if there is anything else cool looking for. I found in "Settings" after clicked, an activity called "S Pen". When it's clicked, it opens a new menu in Samsung Settings that has all the same options as you would find in Note 5.
Is there a way to use Air Command and other Note 5 S Pen features without actually needing an S Pen or using a custom ROM (which I know can let us use our fingers instead of an S Pen).
It's built into Settings, why would Samsung add it then not let us use it?
If you need help finding the S Pen activity, follow this guide:

Instead of clicking on ".DisplayScalingActivity", scroll down until you see S Pen then click.
