Is there any kind of app that uses a password where u can draw your password..
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I would think that would be a bad idea... I mean no one can draw the same 2 things EXACTLY the same. Then if you allow for it being off by a bit. then how much till it accepts "close enough" as the password. Might be something quiet a bit diff and you can still get in. and even little things like drawing it to the left of the center a little bit will throw it off and such. Might be initially not a bad idea... but i could see it as working out to be something very hard to code. I personally always liked the idea of taking a pic of yourself and it logging you in like that....but you would probably run into similar problems as above
I could see this working...similar to gesture search. The lock could be like the letter A and all you would have to draw is the letter A. So just like gesture search recognizes what is the letter A it unlocks, instead of searches. Umm. Copyrights on this idea. You all seen it.

It would be nice, if the App is not shown in "Recent Apps" (long press home and statusbar).
Is it possible?
Yeah I meant something like gestures on the homescreen to unlock... it would be cool lol

Sorry about the poor phrasing of the title, but basically, my issue is:
I'll be typing on the keyboard quickly, and every.now.and then, a full stop/period will appear. I'm.not.sure if that's my finger slipping on the period key or the space bar being too keen with double tapping space (which I'm not doing), but is there a way to disable it? (without.installing a new keyboard)

I don't recall seeing anything like that when I looked through the settings. Sorry.
I noticed this as well. I just hit the period key instead of the space bar. Its just misplaced.

So many smart people work at Google and noone thought of making a simple switch to swap the tabs button from the right to the left...why? Please Google do something about it
I find it really annoying as I use my phone with my left hand and can barely reach the button...
please share your thoughts

One thing chrome on android lacks badly is customization. Swapping the location should be an option. Another gripe of mine with chrome is the perpetually visible address bar that wastes screen real estate. Sure it may not be for some but why not make it an option?
Is it more resource intensive to provide options?

While I do fully agree with your point i think that this should go in the Android general section (not only the sgs3 general) since there are a lot of people on 4.X, and there you could ask for a petition or something similar.
Staying on topic though I do hate that always visible address bar, it's one of the reasons I don't use chrome so much.

I've provided pics but this mysterious buuble keeps appearing at random, at the bottom of the screen yo. its some sort of pull up app drawer. I can't figure out how it keeps popping up or how to tremove it hahaha not trying to be funny anymore! its annoying. gets In the way of the keyboard and whatnot.
this must be a feature of beans ROM, I'm thinking. I dunno tho, a Google search came up with nothing.

hold back to get rid of it.
it's multiwindows ported from the note2, I find it completely useless and hate it as I use longpress back to kill apps, I can use menu button instead, but i will NEVER use the "feature" on this phone.
it sucks that rom devs are including it in ROMs, I'd much rather not see it at all or just have it as an add-on instead of forcing it on us.
I honestly never feel the need to have 2 apps open taking up half the screen each, I can just do one at a time, but I can see how it could be nice on the note II with the s-pen.
I did order a bunch of cheapy pens that work on the phone its pretty cool, but the multiwindow feature, garbage.
Is there any widget that allows you to take hand written notes directly on home screen? I mean without opening the main app by pressing the widget.
Sv: Hand written notes on home screen
When I got my device I had an idea to use a picture of an old blackboard as a wallpaper and somehow be able to draw on the blackboard itself preferably with pressure sensitive and chalk (I think is the correct word for blackboard "pens") like pens. Combined with custom, old school icons and widgets I think it would be awesome.
However, without a root it's not possible and I'm note sure if it is even with root. And more importantly, I haven't found anything close to similar so I assume that I have to learn java or whatever one are using for such features again to implement this if I'm rooting my device in the future.
The closest thing I got though, even though I didn't try it is this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mattm.whiteboard that seems to do basically what you're looking for.
Edit: Actually, the pro version seems to be more what you're searching for now. It's been a while since I actually checked myself.
Hope that helped

It won't display the note at the screen though, which can be quite useful sometimes. But sure, that combined with an SNote widget kinda works.

I quote myself from another thread

I'd suggest using (or trying) Snap Pad (free or ad-free).
It's not a floating note but rather a pad that comes out when you drag the snap region (that normally stays invisible).
So it can be opened and resized anytime (without having to launch it) and also while using other apps. It's also possible to adjust the pad's opacity and make it semi-transparent.
Pros
It's designed for the S-Pen (so supports pressure sensitivity and changing from pen to eraser with the button)
It's very simple
Cons
No Undo-Redo function
You have a single page to use

Tried snap pad... It used 59mb of ram... I'll stick with whiteboard...with a transparent BG...its perfect for me.

That's quite strange. I've checked my application manager and my Snap Pad (v. 1.1) takes 6.48MB of which 4.65MB are for the app and 1.83MB for data (a simple written note).
(But surely, if you have painted the whole Sistine Chapel on the pad, your data memory would be greater than mine... )

Think he meant ram not rom memory. Seems like there would be lots of options for this type of widget.

Ink Over Apps
I've just found out Ink Over Apps, that can be potentially interesting for the GNote 10.1.
There's no free version but the price (€0.76 or about $1) is affordable.
It supports the S-Pen and can be used to make quick annotations in the home screen or to make annotations inside some other app (browser, documents).
I hope the developer will improve this app because, after a quick testing, I think there's still something to do.
Anyway, it's a very interesting idea.

It doesn't get rid of it off the lock screen. Just doesn't tell me who it is, which is even more annoying

yea, i dont like the new ls either... i prefer the aosp one...
Use the message center lock screen widget. Its a single communication screen for all messages. Does that help?
Guys the problem is this - when you enable ""Preview Message" it enables it on the lockscreen, which is nice I guess, whatever. But, this also enables you to see who sent the message in the notification shade.
Now, when you turn it OFF it still shows it in the lockscreen AND the notification shade but doesn't tell you who it is.
The big issue with this is, if you have a lock-pattern or other security turned on WITH "Preview Message" turned on, then anyone can see the contents of the SMS on the lockscreen - BAD SECURITY. On AOSP, this did not behave in this manner. On AOSP you would receive the notification, but that's all I need to see "Hey I have an sms!" - I don't need to preview this if I have enabled security on my phone for the very reason of keeping prying eyes off my phone.
I've never liked the new lockscreen of jellybean...I find lockscreen widgets annoying and pointless...then again I never really liked widgets in the first place haha

I was JUST going to post about that. I have some nosy ass girls who look over at my huge screen whenever they hear a beep or a buzz and I REALLY can't believe they wouldn't include a seperate option to NOT see the message preview from the lock screen.
It's nice to be able to preview it WHEN you slide the notification bar yourself but I don't need prying eyes on my lock screen.

im running apex launcher pro and rooted but even when i enable all the options , i get no notifications on my lockscreen , does it work with apex or only tw ?
I hate this lock screen too! It's so frustrating because I have long fingers, and I very often hit the clock when trying to swipe which just "grabs" the clock instead of unlocking the phone..
I am completely missing the point of widgets on your lock screen. I don't want them at all and I want to turn them off, but that's not an option. Why?? I want the screen to unlock whether I swipe the clock or a blank part of the screen!
Opening messages directly from the lock screen now is also a chore. Who thought to themselves that sliding a puzzle piece across the screen (or dragging your finger across an icon) to look at a message was too hard, and then came up with the current implementation? Click the message, then swipe your finger in a very specific part of the screen. Because that's intuitive.
We can have many home pages that have all of the widgets and icons we want on them. Why do we need an extra layer of them on our lock screens? If the lock screen weren't cumbersome to use, then shortcuts on the lock screen wouldn't be necessary because they wouldn't be saving any time.
The way the lock screen works really irritates me, and I honestly thought about just keeping my GS III because of it (and a couple of other things that are OT).
As cheesy as the slider lock screen on the iPhone is, one thing I really like about it is the ability to open the camera app directly without having to input my (corporate IT mandated) PIN to use it. That extra second or two wasted putting in my PIN on the S4 could mean I might miss a neat shot. It needs some tweaking, for sure.

No....just no...I hope your joking there are already enough threads talking about lag (which I still haven't experienced on my s4)
But yeah...once we get some roms cooking I'm sure devs will give us some better lockscreens...and probably even port the s3 lockscreen over
