Airview just like Note 2?

HI all,
I just picked up my gs4 (i9500) this morning and i love it. I do however have a question, is it possible to get the airview function to work like it does on note 2? What I mean is that on note 2 if i hover the spen over a drop down menu in the stock browser it opens up the drop down menu or if i hover over a folder on my home screen it shows all the icons in that folder. On my gs4 if i hover my finger over a drop down menu it just magnifies the text but does not show the drop down menu, this really bothers me i've tried all the settings but no luck. Any thoughts on this? Would this be possible with future updates or maybe a custom rom?
I would greatly appreciate any input on this.
Thanks guys.
Cheers
PS: i think i remember seeing in one of the video review that if you have multiple tabs open in the browser and if you hover over the little icon
For tabs it shows you all the opens tabs but mine is not doing this? Was anyone else able to do this?
Anyone?

[Q] note 2 feautres to note 3

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 ??

[Q] 2 quick pre-purchase questions?

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

Finger support for air view

I know it has been talked about before but I can't find the topic
Does anyone know if this feature is going to be usible on the phone? There are settings for it. http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/02/04/b61ecefd2919e7ca960d97296164cb47.jpg[/IMG
is it a software thing or is just not compatible with the hardware?
I talk with Samsung tech support but trying to get help from them is worse then try to get help from a 5 year old using google]

If you are talking about air view with finger and air gestures there is a way to activate them but air gesture with the music app or at the lockscreen won't work you can either try xnote rom it has it built in or an app called note 4 hidden settings on Google play also you can try quick shortcut maker app scroll down until you find the settings app and there you can find air view or air gestures hidden settings and many many more

Not all settings work which ones do you want? Air view with finger works for me but I get touching problems it's like I have to be slower with my finger when touching or dragging my finger the pen works fine it is only when I touch with my finger....quick glance also works but you will have to install the app from a note 3 rom what I can't get to work is music air gestures and lockscreen....
Just want the air view with finger

hi,
i have Note 4 N910F Snapdragon,
rooted. Airview with finger works sometimes (if you have enabled all correct settings) but just later, fail to work again. i also miss this feature
and have tried most of advice in different threads here at XDA.
No luck. Root is not required.
From what i can understand
Samsung conveniently left out some
"parts/scripts /? "required for Airview with finger to work. 100%
Yes the setting is there to enable etc.
But other" parts" . is missing.
Bad luck, i used to use Airview with
finger a lot on Note 3.
Good luck
Ya out of all of the gimmicky features the put on the devices that was one of the great one but in the name of innovation the a**hats at Samsung don't put it on the new device I swear they have no idea what their customers want or like. And like I said before their customers service and tech support is horrible I think you could get more help from a 5 year old using google then them.
I'm thinking this is the last Samsung device I'm gonna buy unfortunately unless they get their act together because I have been disappointed in the last 2 phones I owned by them and it sucks cuz the note 2 and s3 were awesome.

OK so install quickshortcutmaker from Google play search in activities for the app "settings" click it then a whole bunch of options will appear go down and search for activities related to air view there are more than one you will eventually find them some of them are for the pen some for the finger some for both anyhow click them and there press "try" to open the activity enable the options you want and press back once click on the star shaped button to save it to favorites so you won't have to search for it again but like I said before the options that enable air view with finger make your touch screen respond slower with your finger I don't know if it's just my rom but just a heads up also keep in mind that if you reboot you will have to enable the settings again just go to the activity again and click them off and on I will post some screen shots for you. And I think you are all right this was a cool feature to have on the note both air view with finger and air gesture it's a shame Samsung had to cut it off maybe they are starting to loose their edge after all and yeah maybe I should consider my next phone not being a Samsung one....

Two things you probably didn't know about the Mate 8

I discovered these merely by accident and never knew about them before so others may find them useful too!
1. Press the multitasking button (square) to see your thumbnails of running apps. Now tap and hold on anyone of them to get straight to the app info page where you can do things like alter the notifications, check the storage and battery use etc .
2. Using the keyboard with word prediction, you are given a list of words to choose from right above the keyboard. If there is a word you don't like, don't use, spelled incorrectly or accidentally added to the custom dictionary, you can stop it from appearing again. Just tap and hold on the word you want to remove from the custom dictionary and a pop up window will show - confirming your decision.
Hope these help.

Ok , lets take 2 gestures
Open gallery you will find on top 2 tabs one is album and other is photos tab on photos you will find photos classfied according to date
Then if you slide down there with your finger you will enter to camera.
Another one in camera if you slide up you enter gallery.
Try.
Also in the Gallery app, go to Photos tab and you will see 4 columns of photos. Do a reverse pinch to zoom gesture and you will now see tiny thumbnails in 9 columns. Tap and hold one one of these super tiny thumbnails and you will see a small zoomed image of it and you can drag your finger all over the screen (maintaining pressure) to see more zoomed images as your finger passes over them.
Finally when viewing an image full screen, reverse pinch to zoom to get to horizontal scroll mode to quickly navigate to other photos.
