Has anyone tried Overskreen (floating browser) on the note?

This video makes it looks pretty good. .
It would be nice to have two browers or apps open at the same time. .

Looks amazing from the video. I am searching it now to try out. Intrigued by the 3d luncher too

Yeah it's pretty awesome. I have the window above my messaging application to text and surf. Works very well.

i just bought it. .its actually a nice app .i think its only going to get better with a bit more customization. . i dont have a Tab but imagine this would be a must have app for tab owners..
also downloaded aircalc (which is free). . nice little floating calculator. .

You guys get Stick It and OverSkreen by dev myboyfriendisageek?
It works but I like Cornerstones way of 3 dedicated windows for any app. Anyone know if Cornerstone is releasing anything soon?

Its something that modifies the Android framework, so it cannot be a regular app. It has to be cooked into the ROM by the developer in order to be used. It's also incredibly unstable and is renown for breaking root access while open. The kinks are being worked out...

I got it yesterday and it is as good as the video shows. Very smooth. If they can get OverSkreen to work with other apps (like cornerstone onskreen does) it would truly be amazing!

im speechless.....very good app!..THANKS!!!!

Looks cool kinda would be sweet if you had the option to use say chrome or a different browser vs being stand alone browser?

Thanks for the tip!
I just installed this app, and wow! I wasn't even sure I had any use for it, but after a couple minutes I was enjoying the heck out of it. I usually use the desktop view in my regular browser (Dolphin), so I'll just keep this one in mobile view and use it for quickly checking out links without switching away from Tweetdeck or whatever I'm in. In fact, it's awesome to be able to click a link, start that page loading, and then continue browsing through tweets or posts while the page/video/whatever is loading in the Overskreen window.
It's very smooth, too; almost too responsive, if that's possible. I'm impressed.
The one down side is lack of flash support in Android 2.x. However, 3.0 and 4.0 are supported, so that shouldn't be an issue for much longer. If I need to visit a flash site, I can just jump over to Dolphin anyway.

yea the video looks great.

Look great. I will test asap.

Downloaded it and it is kinda cool concept
Useful on landscape mode mostly
Give it a try

they just had an update for it. .couple of cool new features

i bought this and love it. are there any other launchers or apps that work like this? feels more like a PC every day.

another update today. .with sliding tabs. . this is becoming my favorite browser and overall app. .

Thanks for letting us know about this, I installed it without knowing if it was something I would use but on first run I saw many benefits, especially on a large screen device like the Note.
I particularly liked the fact you can view YouTube vids full screen then scale the browser window to whatever size you want, then maybe have a cool tutorial video in the corner as you work on the app underneath!
It was a bit pricey but I think in this case it was worth it.

S Pen app reviews

I would like to get everyone's reviews on the various apps available to be used with the s pen.

S note - Great - pen operation is very smooth indeed under ICS - seems better than I remember.
Seems pretty easy to add images etc -so it is worth upgrading to this IF you use these apps alot - if you don't then stick with ICS Stunner or similar.
My story - not sure really - is it me or does it only work to other people with notes? I can't send things to anyone?

I fell in love with Touchscreen Tune for Note.
Allows you to calibrate spen offsets for deadly accurate use. Can't put my spen down now

Lecturenotes is a killer imho...
I find the s apps a little clumsy for sketching but lecturenotes has a really nice pencil sketch kinda feel (quill is great too on this front) and gives amazing customization and allows for image import and the like... Well worth the price and works with the aosp roms just as nice
Just my 2 cents as I spent a lot of time looking for the right app for me

Is my tablet supposed to be this slow?

Typing on web browsers (default one and chrome) are extremely slow, especially typing Korean (I actually type in Korean a lot). I would type a few words and they will show up on the screen some time later. English is not as bad but still feels extremely laggy.
In addition, general web browsing feels really laggy. Pan and zoom do not feel smooth at all and do not feel like it has a very fast processor, which it does.
Maybe I'm spoiled with iPhone because smoothness is what it excels at, but I still feel like the letters should at least appear on the screen as I type them.
I'm not sure if this is normal.

I'm on the .26 update and still experience general lag that my wife's iPad doesn't have. I'm an android guy for the long haul for reasons other than speed and responsiveness, but it would be nice if these problems could be fixed. Maybe we just need some butter! Jelly Bean butter! All of my ICS experience points to the OS being the source of the lag.

Dolphin has some serious privacy issues. Stallman would be livid. Like, it makes the chrome Botnet look like GNU in comparison.
I got b& at /a/ for sh!tposting ;_;

I've had the slow down in typing that you've mentioned. For me it only happens when I'm filling online forms or in a web game chat box. This issue may not be the tablet but whatever the web site is using for code. Maybe its a flash issue.
Apple has designed their hardware to work perfectly with the ios software. Android doesn't have that luxury as every OEM slaps together a product and hope there are no issues. We have apps for everything like ios but a **** ton of OEM products and os versions that can affect performance from device to device. Are you using a different keyboard app that might have tweaks in the settings?

Is this really still an issue? I thought the privacy concerns had been resolved last November. Dolphin for Tablets is definitely the smoothest browser for me when scrolling large pages, even though its Sunspider marks don't come close to those of Chrome.

I tried the dolphin browser, and it does definitely feel better. It even works better with Korean than both Chrome and default browser. I wouldn't say it's perfect, but I can live with this.
I guess I will wait for Jelly Bean and Project Butter.

Depends on your keyboard as well. I use swiftkey and its predictive algorithms cause lag. When I use the default asus keyboard with my dock in place, lag disappears. Try some different keyboards.

This is a terrible misconception that the grass is greener on the other side when in fact it's not.
iPad users experience some of the same problem Android tablet users experience when it comes occasional slowness. Simply google searching your problems and filtering it to apple.com you will see that Android is not along on this issue.
The tablet with the best web browsing experience is the Blackberry Playbook and even I encounter some websites that want to slow everything down to a crawl. Luckily with Playbook the trouble site doesn't affect anything beyond the web browser which I can easily close out and relaunch.
I think issue centers around most websites being designed specifically for desktop browsers that operate of X86/x64 PCs that have had years of optimized coding and design to handle web browsing.
Just jump back to AMD K6 series and the Intel Pentium II and III to relive horrible web browsing performances.
ARM CPUs are still not there yet but the industry is moving in that direction and so this is something that I predict will go away as more sites get optimzed for tablets.

and im talking about lag issues...just like the title of the thread

I didn't mean to imply that ios is better or I'm looking at greener grass there. I am fine with android and expect it not to function like a desktop. Like Google and the nexus line, the hardware is set up the way the original os company envisioned. Apple put together a great hardware product and is fantastic at creating a top notch user experience. I don't think anyone would deny the ipad has its faults/issues like android tablets. Maybe it is a misconception but its also wrong to expect ipad performance from a non ipad product.
I agree that its more of the website interaction and not the tablet itself. I use thumb keyboard but haven't tried the swift one.

I have had all three ipads as well as all three Transformers. In every case the Ipad out performed the Transformer in the web browsing area using the stock browser. My TF700T comes the close to my Ipad3 but its still not as fluid at my Ipad3 is for internet functioning. I would assume with the release of Jelly Bean for the TF700T that there would be an improvement in the web experience that would be similar to the Ipad3. I perfer a 'pc' experience with the tablet I utilize which is why I have stayed with Asus and the Transformer series. Looking at the entire package of functions my TF700T performes for me it meets my total expectations better than the Ipad3 that I currently own. They are both just tools that fit different peoples needs and are very different in their approach to those needs. I am particular to my TF700T but I am not blinded into thinking that at this time its the end all tablet. I would also quickly tell you that I am very much looking forward to seeing what my TF700T can do once Jelly Bean has been implimented.

It's certainly not snappy and smooth. Even on a fresh reset it's pretty slow.

Floating Apps List

I just bought my infinity not long ago and I have been exploring here. I read some threads mentioning floating app and I am really interested in this. So far I come with:
1. OverSkreen - Browser
2. LilyPad - IM Client
3. Super Video - Player
4. Stick it - Player
5. AirTerm - Terminal
7. Floating Notes - Taking Notes
8. Floating Widget - Make Widgets Floating
9. hovernote - Taking Notes
Would you mind sharing your collection so that we have the best set of floating apps in our infinity? :highfive:
Thank you for everyone who contribute.

Hovernote - for taking notes
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using Xparent Red Tapatalk 2

HoverNote

Floating Notes (Note Taking)
Floating Widgets (Makes Homescreen Widgets Float)

While not a floating app in itself, SwipePad (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.conduction.swipepad.android) is a nice utility for opening these apps within another app. I don't have my Infinity yet, but this works quite well on my phone

I believe moboplayer also has a floating video player function now, it should work great on the greater real estate of the Infinity

"Floating browser flux" is another very basic, but free, floating browser.

Yes, that would be nice to have. I'm surprised that one hasn't been developed yet.

Do that many people really take handwritten notes on their tablets?? Especially with the Transformer series with the keyboard dock - typed in notes just seem so much more practical as they are searchable, etc.... I know that I, for one, can type a lot faster than I could write, especially on a tablet....

Hi!
I am the developer of Floating Notes and see some requests here: writing with a stylus, recording... If you have ideas how to make Floating Notes even better, just tell me.
If you have wishes of other floating apps, let me know via pm and i will look forward to realize them.

Floating timer I use it for my workouts :3

I use my Transformer extensively for handwritten notes. As an engineering student it's not practical taking notes with the keyboard at all due to a lot of visuals and equations. And get a good note taking app such as LectureNotes (which I've found to be the best) and there are options to add keywords for each of your pages and you can easily index ("search") the notebook for the content you need.
I use to go through ~50 sheets of paper that would ultimately end up in the recycle bin since it was all just scratch work, but now I do it all on my transformer.

I'm using AirCalc and it's pretty nice. There is also DarkCalc (I can't remember if this is on the play store or just posted here on xda by the dev) which has the normal calculator interface (takes whole screen) but has a button which pops it out to a floating window. They are both pretty much identical in functionality.

You should update the links in the first post. Floating Notes' link is dead. There is also an free version now.

[Q] Facebook Timeline Does Not Display...

Greetings all.
I searched and was unable to find anything on whether or not the Facebook Timeline shows for people's profiles using the Facebook Android app. I am running the same app on my Samsung Galaxy S2 and it displays just fine on my 4.5 inch screen. On my Asus Infinity, however, all I see is the stripped down profile page without the timeline pics and info.
Is there a way to get the timeline to display without using a web browser? All suggestions are appreciated! Thanks!

Facebook timeline has not been working on android tablets for... quite some time now. On my previous Prime, it never worked, and when I upgraded to the Infinity, it also didn't work. I just think they haven't put any consideration into making it compatible with tablets. I'm not sure about other tablets but all the ASUS tablets I've tried (including TF101 and TF300) don't have a timeline as well.
What's worse is it only shows the stripped down wall, doesn't let you view Albums or info, etc.

probably going to have to wait till they launch the native app since they ****ed up w/ html5 so bad, otherwise use an app like friendcaster or google+

Thanks for the info. I am amazed they (Facebook) can't put together a decent Android app for tablets. It is strange why it would work on my Samsung GS2 with Android using the same app from Facebook...
Oh well. I guess I'll try the app store. Cheers.
