Multi-windows

Looks like it works only at Korean Galaxy Note 2. Is it possible to port it to international version?

maybe because the Korean version is already released, it has a newer version witch supports this feature, and the intl' will also support it.
but its not based on anything.. only me :cyclops:

I also think that the craftsmen will find a way)

That will be really disappointing if its only on the Korean Note 2.
After watching the videos of it yesterday I was definitely going to purchase the Galaxy Note 2 on launch day in the UK. But if its not a supported feature in the EU/N7100 models then I think I will hold off.

The multiscreen feature is also available in hong kong's note 2, which is an international version.

This looks awesome. However when I was watching it I was thinking "Sweet!!! I can finally answer texts while browsing the internet!" But after looking at the apps in the side bar I didn't see sms in there. So I wonder what apps will be supported in this feature and if it will be possible to incorporate mods to get other apps to work.

That's an awesome feature. Hopefully the international version also has this.
But if it doesn't has, i still go for the Note II

I just posted a question in Q&A section, asking whether the note 2 will rotate home screen to landscape with stock launcher? Anyone know for sure?

Sms is present as an option. in the first video, i can see the sms icon below the gallery icon. Samsung should be highlighting that feature because it brings a desktop like view to the note. Definitely ordering now. was going to wait to see the new nexus and features of the next version of Android, but this just sealed the decision.

I use 'ultimate rotation control' app to force the rotation.

Tried that and similar apps on my s3, found it made it lag. What phone do you use it on? Do you find any lag?

Try this rotate app. Works great on my ROM, no lag.

My mistake, I'm using 'ultimate rotation control'.
It works great on my galaxy note 1.
One of the big reasons I'm using it is it allows 180 degree rotation so I'm not always hitting the capacitive buttons.

That is an amazing feature but of all the Note 2 videos I have seen, it's the first one I have seen that has that (half-circular) tab on the left side of the screen. Looks like it's brought up by holding the 'back button'. I wonder if its just that no one knows about this 'shortcut' to open this feature. Or could this be an updated version of TouchWiz we are seeing?

I think you can enable the multi-window from the settings, because it make sense that not everybody want to have the half circle on left border by default.
Lets hope it is available in the international version

So are we saying that stock launcher on note 2 doesnt rotate landscape??

On [can not post URL here because I am new here] is a first quick test of a retail unit. It is written in German, but the pictures show the multiview feature.
So it looks like every note 2 will have that function.

Seems like cm team got loads of work to do to incorporate the multi windows feature to cm10 lol

Magazine UX is probably the Flipboard engine, modified to launch a couple of Samsung Apps.
At least it will look and behave Flipboard-like, which can get annoying soon.

When it was announced M-UX was a replacement UI, was set as the default home page, came with three pages of M-UX content installed out-of-the-box, and had a ton of live widgets and the ability to add a tile (shortcut) to launch any installed app.
From the Verge in January...
The new tablets feature Samsung's new home screen layout called Magazine UX. The layout offers tiles of apps and information that users can customize and configure. Three preset pages are offered by default, though users can customize up to five pages with apps and news widgets. The whole system feels very similar to the LiveTile system in Windows 8.1 and is a bit more approachable for new users than the typical home screen. Ironically, the power users that Samsung is targeting with the Pro tablets will likely find the Magazine UX too constricting and limiting.​Since then it's been renamed from "M-UX" to "Content Home," reduced to a single home page that's no longer the default (standard TW is), half the widgets shown at MWC are gone, and so are the tile app shortcuts. My guess is that it's been neutered as part of the cooperation agreement signed between Google and Samsung. Samsung Hub which was a content competitor to Google Play is also now gone on the Pro's.
To your point, what's left pretty much is a more flexible version of My Magazine that allows you to choose and re-arrange what news and social content is displayed on the page. Based on what it's ended up being I won't be upset if our update doesn't include it.

Confirmed to be working on build ending in ACQ9 for tmo variant.
just checked for updates and there aren't any

Bixby remapped successfully to google on Sprint - fully up to date phone- received today- did not notice any updates when scanned for- if it did it updated silently.

Just got a software update on my S8+ for TMO and it did in fact kill the Bixby button remapping.

Just got my GS8+ on Verizon, remapping worked like a pro.
Not sure the button remap is worth disabling Samsung updates this early, though.

Go to this thread for a app called BixBye for optional remapping or Playstore! You can make the button open apps and other options! I use it for flashlight

Got this app last night, I was so excited cause I'd heard it couldn't be remapped anymore so I was kind of resigned to the fact that the button would be totally useless.

So if I understand right, I can install the 'T-Mobile update service' that I've been avoiding do so that I don't lose the bixby remap now?
Is it worth installing the update?

Yeah I'd recommend updating. I'm on the latest and BixBye still works. Course I always keep my phones updated as much as possible, even when the updates don't provide noticeable things, they usually do a lot under the hood. Plus it's always good to get security updates.

It's June, is this still working?

BixBye works for a day for me then stops working.

Remapping Bixby causing stutter

I've tried three options to remap Bixby button (All in one gestures, Bxbutton, Button mapper) and all of them caused stuttering while scrolling through menus, websites, app drawer.... It makes me think that maybe this is the reason why Samsung have had disabled it.

bxActions = no stutter :victory:
Works after updating also but it can only remap single press.

Enabling any accessibility service will cause scrolling stutter on Samsung phones running Nougat. It's a Samsung bug.

Something is not 100% correct, but this is the case even with native bixby. Samsung has screwed up the button functionality with the new update. It is slow regardless of how you are setup.
Otherwise, bxactions as of now seems to work every time after first launch on a single button press.

yes the shortcuts and tons of new things and it DOES PERFORM FASTER, I ASSURE IT. new life. no way in hell am i even wasting time thinking of a note 9 or 10

currently downloading, 1330MB update

Definitely smoother and a new keyboard feature for Gifs..new logo designs make it look nicer, you can list apps in the background instead of just thumbnails, settings menus have been updated, it's kinda like an overall tweak to everything we already have.
