To enable the hidden power menu follow belowmentioned instructions
go to homescreen
long press - click on widgets
drag settings widget (you will see diff options)
scroll down to find power saving
and there you will have all power saving settings including nvidia's custom settings.
Hope this helps.
I think you might mean:
Long tap on home screen, then tap Shortcuts.
(not widgets)

Try using stock launcher. It ought to be there.
Yep, it's a settings shortcut. Great find though, @kukuthejak.
how change dpi in hidden power management ? dolphin emulator android not is theare
i had a problem with my tablet turning off every night even after a factory reset and changing the sleep option found under the battery settings menu. I assumed it just crashed a lot. In this menu the option was set to turn off after 6 hours.. this hidden menu was causing the problems.
Is this the same set of power options found at the top left of the battery stats when pressing the 3 dots?
yes. Look at the screenshot
No because it misses the app settings on th the raw above.

I can't find settings-->power settings in either widgets or shortcuts??
Choose the widget power settings itself, drag it to one of your home screens and open it. You will find a tab above related to app power settings.

Nova, but I reverted just to try this and no power settings widget there either.
No "Power Settings" widget
When I drag "Settings", there is no Power Settings option
Thanks for your help!
Hah! Figured it out. I just really need to listen to directions. The screen doesn't look like it scrolls further but it does. The original instructions said to SCROLL to the option. Lol.
Thanks for your help, everybody.
Thanks for the tip

Stopped using touch wiz and switched to launcherpro as my default home app, reduced lag by a lot
I first installed this program and deleted it. Well now I decided I want it back but it doesn't show up in my apps drawer. It shows up in settings under manage apps but still no way to set it as my default. I sent the dev an email but never got a response. What do I do?

Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Apps. Then press Menu > List all apps. Fine "twlauncher" and clear defaults for it.

It will ask you what you want to use as your default.
Delete and reinstall it and it should ask to set as default when you press home

Yeah, TouchWiz is quite lagly at the moment.
I use home switcher app to switch from touch wiz, launcher pro or ADW. Its a great app to switch home replacements quick.

Fantastic! Thanks
I use Launcherpro and I think it is the best home replacement... better than Open Home which I used in the past...
LauncherPro Plus is KING! Can't wait for it's new widgets within the next few weeks.
I want to create a settings shortcut that goes to the settings menu, but whenever I try to, it navigates to the actual settings and forces me to choose a sub-setting.

Go into the app drawer, long press on settings and drag it to the homescreen? Or long press on the homescreen, add an app and add the settings app? You're going to add>shortcut>settings shortcut which requires a specific setting. You need the actual settings program.
It depends on your home launcher. I know with adw pro all I do is tap and hold on empty space on home screen. Then select create custom activity and choose from there. But what you wanna look for in your home screen is to add an activity. Activities are sub classes of programs. So you would pick the settings app then select the activity of said app which you want.

Yes, to add the settings app to the homescreen you drag it out from the app drawer.

I think, from reading the OP, they are trying to access a sub setting directly from the home screen.

Nah it's the opposite, he's being forced to access a sub-setting when he just wants to launch general settings

His problem is he is being forced to select a sub-setting, which he does not want. He just wants a link to the settings app - from there he can access all the sub-settings.
Either way though, all options are now listed for him.
Everytime I open the browser it's dim. I open then menu and change it from "Level 3" to "default." However, the next time I open the browser, it's dim again. Somehow it resets itself to battery saver level 3. Does anyone else get this problem or know how to fix it?
Edit:
Nevermind, I fixed it. There's a Power Saving menu in the main phone settings that affects this. Turn off the Background Color option and you won't have this problem.
Feel free to delete my thread. Or leave it. w/e
When you say that you opened the menu, was that menu in the browser or in the actual phone settings? I'm asking because I can't seem to find the settings for just the browser itself. I'm probably just being stupid, but when I press the menu button while on a Web Page, I do not have the option to go into the browser settings.

You hit the phone's physical menu button while on a webpage and one of the options there is "Brightness and Colors." That's the menu that lets you select power saving levels 1 through 3 or deafult. I just wanted mine on default. It wouldn't stay on default until I turned the Background Color setting off in the Power Saving menu in the Phone's main settings.
Can you send me a screen shot? I did exactly what you did and I do not have that option in my browser. In fact, I'm not sure if this is just a problem with my phone or with all att S3's but I'm missing some settings options. For example, if I go into the display settings, I am unable to change the contrast like I have seen in reviews if the international version of the phone.
Do you have these problems too?

Scroll the menu that pops up in the browser, there are more settings...
Also look in your main settings under power saving. It messes with your browser brightness/color as well
Wow, I am a total idiot. And yeah, I see what you are saying.
Thanks.

Hi guys,
Now that you've spent some time with your Note 3, how about sharing your top recommended tip with the community.
This tip should be more like your personal experience with the device. I'll go first...
Switching to Nova Launcher Prime with system animations set to fast took my user experience to an all new level...be sure to use "zoom fade" effect on nova settings...
Great thread, I used to use card stack, but changed to zoom fade, thanks for the tip, the tip I would share would be invisible lock screen widget, place it on your home screen, and turn your phone on stand by without any icons showing.

Will try this out soon thanks!
Here's another tip: After trying a lot of hd wallpaper apps, I found "ZEDGE" to be the best in terms of wallpaper clarity and variety. I now use this app and filter out newest wallpapers with stunning picture quality.
Quick Torch access
There is a setting to allow the flash to be used a s a torch quickly while the screen is off. You long-press the Volume-Up key to start it, and press the Volume-Down key to stop it. It also has an optional timeout setting.
To get this setting, called 'Torch Light' I use the 'Activity' shortcut in SSLaucher, as it is not in the normal settings. You can also use the 'Activity Launcher' app. Once set, you do not have to set anything again.
Here's a good one....want Developer options? This is bizarre, but go to 'About device' in settings, then to your build number which appears greyed out. Click it about three, four times, it'll say 'you're almost a developer' and then bam it'll say you are, go back to settings and wala, you'll see a new 'Developer Options' tab! Kinda strange way to get it to show, but it works.

Man this has to be the best tip that I've seen so far hands down...I literally installed spare parts plus to get the dev options and make animations faster!
Off to unistall spare parts and see the shiny developer options in settings! Thanks a ton mate!
TIP to Reduce Number of Button Press on Note 3:
So this is a tip to substantially reduce the number of times one has to press the power on and home button.
Install "lock screen widget" from the play store (free) and place on ure home screen...it automatically switches off screen on touch...
For those of you who long press the home button to get the multi tasker up...configure the swipe up action in your non touchwiz launcher to open the "recent apps" list...
*Bump*
- Under Settings--> controls --> SPen you can set S pen Keeper, to alert you if you ever walk away without attaching the Spen. In case you forget it. Which has happened to me twice so far. :silly:
In settings/device/accessibility and under the section of mobility you can select the assistant menu and a little pop-up menu will give you some nifty shortcuts if you are using the s pen and don't want to press the home button of s shame with the pen hahaha it's just terrible to do it.

Thanks for the s pen tips guys...though I've really not come around to using it often on a daily basis.
Is there a way to see recently launched apps and switch between them?
This function should be definitely included in default system. So useful!
Can't test it now but try it with long pressing the home button

Ok, didn't know. Thank you
I had the same idea but did not work lol.
I am not sure what you are looking for exactly, but the list of apps on the original launcher is always reorganized to show the most recently used apps first. Or are you using a different launcher?
Sent from my SM-N900V using XDA Free mobile app
The best way of doing this is with LMT Launcher using it's Pie feature. Install it, and set up an item as Activity -> System UI -> com.android.systemui.recent.RecentsActivity. This gives you the recent apps, which is normally non-accessible on the shield. You can then add a few others as you see fit. I've added the power menu for example, which gives you the full power off, reboot and sleep options. Not found that anywhere else. All works best with a mouse, so you're best using an alternative launcher like HALauncher. But I suspect most people are doing that anyway given how restricted and awful Leanback is.
It can be downloaded here.
this is like the third or fourth thread about this
