I bought Horn a while ago and the game wouldn't load up on my Note 10.1
I've been wondering whether I should try SkPro since I already have SKMobile. But, for 25c, kind of a no-brainer! Thanks for the heads up!

Well, it's too bad I bought it yesterday for $5... Oh well, they make a good app and I am happy to support good developers.
ARGH. I paid full price for this just a week or so ago..
Oh well, it's not exactly *expensive* even at full price.
I just wish they'd add a lasso feature.
I agree the lasso feature would be nice.
Folks, is there some functionality in Sketchbook pro that's not available on Photoshop touch preinstalled on Note 10.1?
I am not a pro, as you can figure out on sketching... :laugh: but i was able to do sketch usinf PS touch.
Appreciate quick response, so that I can grab the sketchbook pro on a 25 cent sale, in case it's much superior to PS touch as per sketching experts here.

For 25c, hell yeah! What are you waiting for? PS Touch and SBP are almost two different apps. PS Touch sucks (really sucks) for sketching IMO. SBP, on the other hand has all the tools you need to sketch and even present full-fledged completed drawings if you take your time. The only gripes I have on SBP are the following:
1. Only 6 layers
2. No layer transformation on the go. No group transformation available either.
3. No palm rejection, but with WACOM it's not a big deal.
4. No Custom Pens, but there is a crap load of them already included so you can survive
5. No Portrait mode, the GUI is always on landscape mode
6. No custom canvas size; 1280 x 800 is the best you (and only size) you can work with.
But as I said, it's only a quarter. So, put the beggar bum down the street on hold today and buy the app before it's too late. You should only have a few more hrs of sale available on this app.

Sent from my GT-N8013 using XDA Premium HD app
10 inch is great for multi-window multitasking especially considering the lack of tablet optimized Android apps. But is it available on the Nexus 10 out of box considering Samsung's own Note 10.1 does split-screen, if not can it be upgraded with no root or in any other way?
Could be a dealbreaker. The 2,56k Nexus 10 is perfect for multitasking and lacking such awesomeness would be disappointing.
Something like Galaxy Note? It would be great but no mention of it in the reviews.

It's unlikely. The thing with nexus devices is that you need to forget who manufactured it.
Unless the standard android build tree implements a multi windows feature, no nexus device will have it.
It's a trade off, because devices like my S3 and the Note etc come with fantastic Samsung features like the notes app, multi window, smart stay, additional code licences and such, but you sacrifice update frequency.
The point here is that this device gets pure, unadulterated, Android, and all the features (or lack thereof) that comes with it.
Either way, ill be buying one, and waiting for ParanoidAndroid to come along so I can get rid of the crappy Phablet UI, which I personally think is a mistake on a device like this.

That's too bad. The crowd clearly wants multitasking and the 10" screen and high resolution is fitting for split screen, a big hit and miss by Google. Or maybe Samsung wants to keep it in house? Disappointing either way, splitting the screen into 4:3 for Chrome and 1:3 for Twitter/chat/music/calculator/notepad etc. would give enough pixels for both. To not have that option on most tablets is kinda shocking. What else do you wish to use the big screen for if not comfort?
I'm on GB on my phone. Is there a simple way to switch between apps on JB?

Yeh, the problem, is that Samsung's multi-window feature is just that, Samsung's. They paid and spent the time to develop it in house, it's their own functionality, it cost them time and effort and is a selling point for their own devices such as the Galaxy Note 2.
As for JB, there is the "recent" menu, which is usually surfaced as an on screen button on some devices, or a press and hold of home on others, for switching apps. It's really no different to that of GB, except that it gives thumbnails of the apps instead of just icons.
Samsung cheated their way to multi-screen view... only one app is in the foreground, so it's not really multi-tasking. They did a serious hack job of the android os in order to make it happen. If you want it done right, wait for Google to do it.

I want multiview on GSIII
maybe it would be possible to run an app at qhd resolution or so as a widget on your home screen. you could put 2 or 3 on the 10 inch screen and just use them all simultaneously. anyone have any idea?
also, i found this on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOqBAfMwCAc

Yeah, but this is a Samsung tab, and as much as it runs "pure Android", they could've easily throw multi-view in and sell it with that feature, it's pretty evident THIS is the device to challenge the iPad, not the Note 10.1.
It also doesn't take a genius at Google to develop split-screen tasking, don't think it requires too many resources either. HW's ready, SW's ready, we are ready. Where's split screen multitasking on the 10" tablets?

If not multi-window... what apps have big tab widgets to split the screen that way?
Mobo player let's you multi screen, when watching a video you can hit the home button and it will bring you to the desktop but have the video playing in a resizeable box... Was actually really nice ,made me want it on all the apps :'(
Sadly, I don't think Google wants multi window functionality in Android. In general, they seem fine with Android for tablets just being a dumb device for media consumption. I think the tablet UI change is an example of Google dumbing down the UI by wasting screen real estate, etc.
Additionally, A developer from Google threatened CyanogenMod when they showed interest in using and improving a 3rd party's implementation of multi window for ICS. Google is worried that supporting multi window will make it harder on app developers because there would be even more size and layout variations that developers would need to test and support.
I personally think it is very important for Google to support this. Windows 8 tablets already have support for multi window.
Back to my original point, a 7" fits Google's current direction of being mostly a dumb device for media consumption. However, 10" tablets needs to be something more than that to justify the price and lack of portability compared to a 7" tablet.
Damn, the new multi-view looks better than ever!

While I agree i dont like the UI on a nexus 7. For example isnt the native apps on a n7 single pane, like gmail on a phone?
On the nexus 10, gmail, talk, email, and the like are all 2 pane applications. My only complaint about the UI on the N10 is that the home back and multitask buttons allways stay in the middle of the screen. i think they should be to one side or the other for easier access with your thumb.
Also i would love to have multi window support on my n10 which is how i came opon this thread, but i will wait for google to implement it. while the different versions of android (touchwiz motoblur etc.) have come a long way none of them are as smooth or operate as clean as stock android. When and if google creates multi window support it will work flawlessly.
This is standard on the note 2 now right?

[Q] What is meant be "pure Android"? How does Note hardware hold up over time?
Hey guys. I am new here. I recently ordered an Asus Transformer Infinity. Got it, but sent it back RMA for an issue with the brightness control (bought it refurbished). In this waiting time, I've been going back and forth with more interest in the Note 10.1 and Nexus 10 due to the fact that they run smoother, less lag, less problems etc.
The Nexus 10 interests me, but the multi tasking for me (a graphic designer, photographer, videographer, media consumer, multi app user, etc) is almost a deal breaker.
What is meant by people saying that Nexus 10 is pure Android vs something like Samsung's custom interface? Does that suggest that one cannot get the same "look" with widgets, have the same customizing functionality, etc? Does "pure Android" actually run better overall? I've only played around with both in the store (Staples) for like 5-10 minutes at a time on few occasions.

Why don't you go to youtube and watch video review for both tablets?
Pure android is the AOSP android, the interface that Google has built for android. It is very light and highly customizable. Of course it's a bit faster and smoother than the general customized android, but with the Note's hardware, you won't feel the heaviness of the customized interface.
In the Note 10.1, there are tons of tweaks and customizations built into android - starting with the very basics of Touchwiz, S Note, our beloved Multiview and even to more complex things like Download Mode. But it hasn't lagged even for a second, yet provided an unbelievable experience never seen before in tablets. Plus, even Samsung's Touchwiz is highly customizable, and if you want, you can install a launcher like Apex for a closer to "pure android" experience while maintaining all of the features.
Manufacturers like to put there own skin over android(touchwiz-samsung, motorola-blur). It changes the way the interface looks and functions. They also add apps that you can not uninstall unless you root the device. Nexus devices do not have this added bloatware ,there for are considered pure android. Honestly like the other person posted pure android is a little lacking in features. Besides, if you don't like the interface that is on your device you can always get a 3rd party launcher(apex, adw, launcher pro, holo launcher, next launcher, and so on). I use Holo Launcher on both my phone and tablet.
You will however get the latest version of android first on Nexus devices because its a google product. I'm not sure how long they support their old devices.
I have a Note 10.1, and use it for sketching on the go. The s-pen and multi-view are features that put it far above the other tablets on the market. The biggest complaint about the Note 10.1 is that the resolution is low compared to other tablets of the same size. It is noticeable but not as bad as some people claim. I find it fine for normal use and only notice it when watching HD video, but even then its acceptable.

I have actually watched a lot of videos and even played with them both in store. I guess I was more curious as to whether app availability/compatibility and customization (widgets, wallpapers, folders, folder naming, etc) were somehow different or disabled with Samsung's touchwiz interface. I didn't go into in depth customization in store.

Thanks. I'll look into the launchers if I really want to "play" with it more. I guess I want my cake and eat it too...I'd like a tablet that works right out of the box with some nice features, but I am also into messing around with various apps and such to customize the device, use it like a computer, etc...The Asus Infinity felt like that, but lags quite a bit..I am going to miss the build quality of it though
The resolution is a bummer...I was playing with the Note 10.1 and the Nexus 10 side by side in store...I see the difference...plus the Asus Infinity I recently purchased is full HD which looks great too..however, I am sure I would get used to the Note 10.1 screen once it's on its own...it's like buying an HD tv...of course the one next to it in store may look a little sharper...but once it's in your home and the only one there, you won't be comparing it, you'll be using it

If you buy SGN10.1, I recommend you install Multi Window Manager.
Multi Window Manager will extend the SGN10.1 Multi Window feature as you can add as many Apps you have to the Multi Window List.
But remember that some apps were designed poorly / fullscreen / oddly sized / un-resize-able that can't be use use with Multi Window feature.
Note:
That app need ROOT
The G Pad GPE is surely faster than the "LG one" (V500) but you would have to give up, among other things, Knock On, the IR Remote and full SDcard support and those are huge deal breakers for me.
LG's ROM is most certainly slower and laggier than stock Android but it's also way more feature complete (which is probably also *why* is slower...). Features that I do use, and besides the ones just mentioned, there are dozens of things like Quickmemo, the overlay apps (QSlide), the keyboard with the numbers row, the volume and brightness sliders and on and on...
All of these talks about "bloatware" (both for Samsung and for LG ROMs) really piss me off... this "bloatware" are SOFTWARE FEATURES which other ROMs generally LACK and which for the most part I do find useful (one above all, Samsung MultiWindow)!! (and most if not all of which you can uninstall/freeze/disable if you don't use it anyway!!)
It reminds me of iOS users who used to rave (they can't anymore since from iOS7 theirs has become a slower and laggier operating system, not to add far, far buggier!!) about the smoothness and fastness of their toy operating system while it was doing sweet F-all compared to Android (no real multitasking, no widgets, no powerful notification center, no live wallpapers and so on) !!
On older Samsung smartphones and tablets I have found that it's only the launcher to be sometimes "slow", not the overall ROM. For example, I use Nova Prime on my Note II (stock, rooted ROM) and I am very satisfied with its performance and with the SW features which are better done and more "coherent" than anything else out there for the Note II. Once you "complete" it with Xposed and the AppSettings and NFClockscreenoffEnabler modules it's the ultimate smartphone for the poweruser... (well, the second best after the Note 3 actually )
Anyway, I don't do stupid themes, live wallpapers, CPU intensive useless "esthetic" stuff, I don't even play games on my mobile devices but I am a poweruser who takes full advantage of the PC-like capabilities of Android devices (as a quick hint, I have 64GB cards in both my Note II and G Pad and they are full of the same most used files I use on my Windows 7 PC) and the G Pad, once setup with the apps and services I use IS S-L-O-W. Getting back to the home is slow and the tablet "freezes" for a couple of seconds before accepting any input, widgets take a while to load, rotation is slow etc
...or, is it?!?
Yesterday I finally had some time to spare (I have had my G Pad since less than a month and that has been a very busy month) and finally got around installing and properly setting up Nova Prime which I had been very happily using on my OG Note and got on my Note II since day 1 and the results on the G Pad are IMPRESSIVE! It solved most of my complaints about it being slow, it really feels like having a new tablet and it's now finally a pleasure to use! Everything I listed above is FASTER and even battery life seems to have improved (I need at least another couple of days to be sure it's not a placebo effect LOL).
In other words... DO IT! DO IT NOW!
You will get a much better, powerful and feature complete launcher to boot! I even like it a lot better looks-wise.
I currently own a Galaxy Note pro 12.2 (P900) that I use daily. In addition, I heavily use the S-Pen features and notetaking apps for work for at least 4-6 hours a day. I use a miracast dongle to project my tab onto a projecter and it has been working wonderfully for years. It is about time for an upgrade, and wondering if the Lenovo Yoga Book is comparable to the Galaxy Note Pro. I will use the same notetaking apps, like squid and such, and I will be able to screen mirror using my dongle. But is it worth the upgrade? I am not convinced yet, what are you thoughts? Thanks in advance!
Hi
I did own a notepro12.2 before and did do the upgrade. I am now working with the YogaBook since 6 weeks and I still miss my notepro12.2 that I did use 2 1/2 years.
It's not the smaler screen i miss, it's mostly the excelent samsung software. In special the multi-screen feature of the samsung and the integration if the S-pen in android.
The higher performance and compact build of the yoga book does mostly catch this software gaps. But i still miss these nice features samsung did build into android.
if not neccesarry I would continue using notepro12.2. This is still one of the top devices and there is nothing new and comparable on the market. yogabook is the only thing "close to" but it isn't better. May be when you check the paper, but not in daylie use
pro for yoga: compact, weight, keyboard, performance
pro tabpro: 12.2" screen, touchwizz
I recommend LectureNotes as note taking app. It is not vector based like the Samsung stuff, it is more bitmapbut it has alot of features, drawing tools etc. The great thing is that the notebook folders can be synced between devices unlike Samsung's way of handling note files. Also LN dev is very helpful.
I use it on my YBook and Note 2014 , it works well.
The only thing I miss from Samsung is the handwriting recognition which Ybook does not ahev by default and I do not use Google stuff.
I also had a note 12.2 that died. I've got one I was given for spare parts, I'm still hoping to resurrect my 12.2, but in the meantime, I got a yogabook. The screen on the yogabook feels really small after being used to the 12.2. But overall I like it. It definitely hits the 'tablet with a pen' spot, but I can not *wait* until I've at least got root and xposed, if not ROMs. Multiwindow would really improve the yogabook. I wish the pen stored inside, or clipped on or something, it's a pain having to get into my bag for it when I want to use it. The form factor options of the yogabook are nice tho-I could never get my 12.2 in the keyboard case at a good angle when I was lying down in bed. No problems on that front with the yogabook. If they made a yogabook with a 12 inch screen, I'd probably be willing to give up on my Note 12.2.
