Pinning S note to home screen - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I open and make an snote and then want to pin it to my home screen, or any screen, I find have the pin symbol is not present on my note, does this need enabling somewhere?
If so what do I do this?
Of not, can anyone explain why it's not present on my notes.

Are you using a third party launcher? It only works with the stock TouchWiz launcher.
Note 4

I've have tried with both TW and Nova

Uninstall Nova and pin symbol will appear again. ?

It's that a guess or do you know that works for sure?

More or less true.
You don't need to uninstall other launchers, just switching back to TouchWiz is sufficient to bring back that pin icon.

Cheers guys - Looks like you have to set the default launcher to TW to get the 'pin' symbol to appear in a the S Note application.

Are you talking about your home screen? If yes, then you should try using different launchers such as Apex or Nova.

Well if you somehow find a modified LGHome.apk or an Xposed Module that removes the "drag an app.." message, then you're in luck. If the reason why you don't want to use launchers is that the icons looks different then you can easily apply this LG launcher theme so you can feel "at home"

Let me know if this option is there Or no.
I think that feature only works when your using the stock touchwiz launcher.
you need to set touchwiz as your default launcher.
if you have no default, or a different launcher as default the option disappears.

Remove app drawer

How to remove the app drawer like s7 http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/galaxy-s7-remove-app-drawer/
on Lolipop S6 ports
just pretend, if your launcher has an option to automatically put icons on the home screen choose that (or do it in playstore settings). then if it let's you, remove the app draw icon from your launcher dock or switch to a launcher that will let you. although it's fugly as all hell so I don't know why anyone would want to.

It isn't possible without a third party launcher.
This no launcher trend was introduced only recently with the release of the S7 and G5, and both run Marshmallow. So I don't think it's available for lollipop unless someone ports the feature.

It is possible with Stock Launcher
I Saw on this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rE-IM0mNr7Y (1:59) but it's on the s5 with lolipop, of course. (IOS experience ) )

You do realize that it is possible to create app shortcuts on the home screen, right? Every launcher has this.
And he may have removed the app drawer icon somehow. I'm sure exposed has some options for customizing the touchwiz launcher.

I highly doubt touchwiz lollipop has the option to disable the app drawer and make it iOS-like, because I never heard anything about it until the S7 and G5 came out. But both are running marshmallow.
If there really was such a feature on touchwiz lollipop, people would have discovered it sooner.
What you saw in the video is probably some modifications done by the youtuber (Xposed or something).

System UI Turner?

Does Google plan to release a 9.0 version of System UI Turner? I know you can get it to partly work with a launcher like NOVA, but when trying to hide status bar icons you can only hide a few and some don't work at all to hide, like cell data and wifi data icons. When you turn those off nothing happens. So I was wondering if Google will release a new version. I know they had it on, 6.0 7.0 and 8.0 so I am hoping they do.

By erased you mean uninstalled right? Was that app straight up uninstallable? Even if I use nova launcher, the lock screen will still be the default one so it won't fix the the problem.
