Just found the coolest feature on this phone - flick delete - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I'm sure this has been covered in some "what do you like best about his phone thread".
but as someone with lots of kids around I am constantly taking video and pictjures with this phone...I just found the flick delete feature. I'm running CM10 but I think it's in the Touchwiz rom as well.
while viewing a single picture in landscape mode, take your fingers and zoom out. You will see images on either side..now you can scroll left and right....now...flick an image up or down...don't worry, you can undo.
Super fast, super easy, super duper useful.

I'm on stock, tried it but couldn't get it to work.

Maybe it's a Jelly bean thing...I can't tell you how awesome this is.

This is a JB feature.

Camera App Suggestion :)

Sup forum, I dont know if theres already an app for this, but if there is I havent seen it.
Arite so you know how you can only send low quality videos less than 30 seconds via txt message (MMS)
We know moments in life happen so quick and theres been many times ive videoed somthin once in a lifetime but my camera is always on 720p high quality.
We need some kind of shortcut you can put on the homescreen that opens up the camera with different settings.
One for text messages and one for HD home movies say. Easy one click and film right.
Cause by the time you open up the camera change the settings, lets say cause you know you wanna send this video, and not post on youtube or somthin, the moment would be gone.
I dont know if Im the only one that would like something like this, but what you guys think??

I know LauncherPro has programmable shortcuts so you can launch specific apps with specific settings.. I have never looked into creating one though so you are on your own there, but it may be a good place to start looking.
Oh yeah?? Ill check it, thanks
Edit: yea launcher pro has settings, but not for the camcorder.

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.

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...
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA Premium HD app
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

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.

Interesting idea... would it be possible?

I was playing around with "About Phone" easter eggs, double clicking on different areas. As most know, different screens pop up depending what ROM you're running. Examples below.
After seeing the pac-man one... I got to thinking... would it be possible... so when you click on it to bring up the easter egg, to have a simple pac-man game come up. Perhaps with either touch controls or actual buttons. Or even having it link to a pac-man game that is already made.
I think it would be pretty cool and something totally different. I haven't seen anything like this, I'm curious if its because it's simply not possible... to complicated... or not thought of...
So... to those who know about programming and development.. what are your thoughts?
Thank you so much for all your time and contributions... without you my infuse would already be long gone.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Yeah its possible...the only thing is that the ROM dev would have to create the pacman game himself...and even then can't call it pacman and can't copy the images as there are probably copy right issues...idk though
Basically, if you can program an app than yes you can have it open up the game/app by clicking the about phone easter egg...if you wanted to you could make it open up the messaging app, or the clock or the browser...

[Q] Problem with palm rejection

Hi guys, i am on stock ROM, not rooted, because i use the tablet for college, so basicly for work and not playing around
I gfinally got the JB update about 1.5 months ago and ever since then i got this bug that the palm rejection doesnt work at all
I use quill to write insted on paper, and everytime i lay my hand down it recognises it as a qick double tab which lets it zoom out
Anybody knowing what could have happend, what i shall do now (i want to prevent that i have to send it in, cus it takes quite a while and i need it every day), i am also ready to root it (got root experience of rooting htc desire z, htc mytouch 4g slide and a galaxy s1) but if i do this, has anyone a good stable and kinda stock-close ROM where palm rejection and just everything else works...i even wouldnt mind going back to ICS if i have to

Obviously the tablet will still detect your palm in an app like that no matter what or else the touch screen wouldn't work right..lol. Rooting/custom rom will not solve your issues. I suggest you go back to ICS if it really is better. For me, I see no difference. Good luck.

The palm is detected as 2-3 fingers, so if i lay it down it is as if i would make a fast double tab, which leads on quill to zooming out
I got this bug since the official JB update, on ICS it was just fine
So, basicly i ask if anyone else is experincing this with the official update, or maybe it is just an update failure for me
Also if no one has those problems after rooting, i may consider doing so, but i dont want to go through all the ROMs here cus of time issue :/

I don't use quill I use papyrus and it doesn't do that for me. Cyanogenmod would be the best bet if you wanted to try a custom rom. The other roms are very similar to what you have already and won't help. Rooting and flashing on this tab is easy if you say you're so experienced already. No bootloader to unlock or anything on Samsung.

Very easy root it wi cf auto root

Now you can create a gesture to disable finger touch and use the spen instead of your hand very easy and works like a charm

I'll go with papyrus now, and have zoom disabled
But thats a nice option too
Also: if i root, (and only root it, no flashing or anything else) do i have to make a factory reset?
Only got htc experience and there you dont really get around doing a factory reset
The SGS1 i had was from a friend, so i had to reset it anyway

You can root it easly without delete anything just download odin and cf-autorootn8000.tar
Now open odin and flash the autoroot file in the pda tab process complete
All the operation take less than 5 min
Gd luck.

Root doesnt have a whole lot to do with it. I use quill as well and dont have that problem but I'm used to laying the PEN down on the page or at least close to the screen first and then rest my palm on the screen.
The way it works is the screen detects finger/capacitive touch first and then detects the pen. If you touch the pen on the screen or close to the screen first, it will ignore any other touches.
Personally I prefer quill for jotting down quick notes or calculations, and then I use lecturenotes for real notes pages. In quill, I found the doubletap zoom and 2finger zoom unreliable regardless so I turned that off. When I want to zoom or move the page, I just click the button to zoom/move the page.
Hope that helps.

I guess i got a lag in the update :/
maybe i look over the summerholidays into it
Still think android is just 10% of what it could be when unrooted xD
But i gotta work on that device, so it definitively be a ROM which is stable and quite final developed...but there is still time till holidays
Thanks so far guys

U have a really big problem, since i use my note10 for taking notes as well at school, i can understand how damn annoying it could be if it register palm.
about the rom, i would suggest u to use this:
[ROM][N8000]::::: X-Note Zero Edition Build 1 [MC5]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2236328
it removes alot of useless stuf (Snote,S calendar, samsung apps etc) f. Rom is alot faster than the stock rom, nd alot smoother aswell.
U can still flash snote if u like (link in the roms thread) but papyrus nd lecturenotes do better job than Snote.
ps. for calendar+memos u can try Franklinplanner, simply awesome app, and as a launcher i recommend apex launcher ^^,
hope i helped

Galaxy S4 browser?!?!

As Samsung continues its apparent march towards closed source am I the only one surprised at how bad Galaxy S4 browser is? It is slow, unresponsive at times, has no real fullscreen option and quick settings have been removed. It also has no ability to sync with Google accounts. Am i the only seeing this?
It has its perks on Some things then there's other stuff like you mentioned that doesn't make it good. I usually use chrome but I'm just trying to find another alternative that has flash options besides xscope and firefox. I really love dolphin browser but can't figure out how to run the flash option for it.

I agree with you, that's the browser I'm using a well. It just seems that Samsung took a huge step backwards with the GS4 browser when compared to the GS3.

It seemed OK at first but the more I use it the more awful it seems.
It can't reflow text so you have either zoom out and read tiny text (the text size option helps a bit but not as good as reflow) or zoom in then scroll sideways back and forth. The f-ing SGS1 had this!
The window manager (ie. tab selector) thing takes forever to come up. Does anyone else have it refuse to come up at all? (sixftsix apparently) That happens to me about once a week.
GS4 Stock browser is chrome based... which is not updated sloppy old chrome plus some airview/multiwindow support.

I agree the browser does suck. I recently started using Lightning Browser and it is really fast compared to the stock one. I even got flash enabled although it isn't the best.
I downloaded Lightning Browser here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=acr.browser.barebones
I downloaded flash from here (uploaded by ashik992):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1936895&d=1367734159
You do have to access the settings menu and enable flash after you install it.
I've only been using it about two days but I'm considering purchasing the paid version.
If you guys give it a shot let me know what you think.
