If you guys haven't heard or seen, the latest firmware upgrade of the NOTE 2 allows for 2 applications to be on the screen at the same time which means you can interact with them. For example you can have a youtube video playing in one window and searching the web in another window.
I was just wondering, would this feature ever be cooked into a ROM?
The SkyRocket is a powerful device and should be able to handle such a thing.
Would definitely love this I am pretty sure its loaded into the os so I don't think it should be too hard to port it over. Only downpart would be the smaller screen but who cares? I would def use it in the car for my torque app and spotify or navi

I would rate this as the #1 feature that I want to see in any rom. As this video shows, it's actually Really useful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-G-avtGf0A

Cyanogenmod was considering something like this on ICS with CM9 (see example here) . They were talking about adding a similar service called "Cornerstone" by Onskreen, but the idea was shot down by threats from Google of "consequences" if CM implemented it on any devices that Google supported (see comment to Steve Kondik from Dianne Hackborn here).
I hope this means Google(Android) realized that it was dumb to prevent this as it was an inevitability and CM will now be able to get back to work on implementing it.
I've downloaded the video player from the apps section that allows a floating video window over the top of everything else that came from the s3. Works good.

The multi-window feature on the Note 2 is more powerful, check out the youtube video (mentioned above) to see how it works. It's awesome, a killer must have feature, really.

Is it possible or legal for someone to rip the media player from the galaxy s, I hear its the best one on any phone at the minute especially as it plays every format that's used nowadays and stock Android is in last place for video playback out of the box.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I'm not possible but if you look in the roms section for the samsung vibrant or just galaxy s I believe there are rips of the .apk files that are initially on the device
their links to fileshares like 4shared and what not but I think that they have what you want

Maybe we should start a list of apps and games that in some way, do not run properly on the initial release of the GNote, be it due to lag or screen sizing issues? This would hopefully go some way in avoiding cluttering up the other threads.
Thanks.
Icq mobile - not scaling at all.
Dungeon Defenders - some pixels missing at bottom
Quadrant - few pixel missing at bottom
YouTube - seems to use max. 480p (tested only one time)
Tested YouTube again, seems if HD resolution was used.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
Even with "HQ" the YouTube Apps just use around 480p.
Look a Starcraft 2 match on Youtube with HD Ready Flash and in YouTube. That is a different like day and night.
Doodle Jump.
Turning off Compatibility Mode with Spare Parts app doesn't help as everything looks stretched. This app's never worked with any other res except for 800x480 so not too surprised.
Widgetlocker doesn't scale for me. Emailed the dev, will drop a line here if anything turns up.
Can anyone test my 2 games on the Note?
It should scale correctly but I don't have my Note yet (hopefully next week) could someone try them please?
Thanks!

@Renegade_Rulez, both Games scaling is OK
Thanks for testing!
i got Screen Size Problems with SPB Shell 3D, i am not able to configure the Taskbar
Bonsai blast runs but does not fill the screen.

in the market is navigon free for the note ?
if it is free, does it scale properly?
Doh! Had email back from Widgetlocker dev - just needed to resize the widgets/sliders etc. It is in fact working perfectly!
SwiftKey doesn't look good.

Backstab by Gameloft doesnt work properly. Dowloaded from Market, and after starting gives an incompatibility message and tells me to request refund.
Those having issues with scaling, have you tried taking the tick out of the check box for compatibility mode in "Spare Parts" app?

Ironically, the Samsung Remote and SmartView apps don't scale...
Will have to try the compatibility-mode tick yet.
What do the people say?
Should I include ALLSHARE ? or is it trash?
i like the idea of all share but.... never use it
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Toss it...
me to.. i like it because its 'not in the market' but there are other apps that do the same thing in the market.
I never use it either, I personally think its bloat, but I see alot of other roms are including it so I figured I would ASK!
Thx! Plz vote!!
bloat, keep out
Bloat.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Toss it. There is a better option.
UPnP and DicePlayer.
I have used AllShare A LOT. The problem is that it limits you to a stripped down version of Samsung "Videos" app. With an Exynos processor you'd never notice, but for the Skyrocket the Videos app doesn't work well with XviD. As a side note, to fix XviD choppiness, I run Gamecih 3.0 and set it to transparent, and all the lagginess is gone when playing XviD on DicePlayer.
Also, when you want to skip forward on DicePlayer when streaming over DLNA, it is simply stunning because it is so instant and responsive, unlike the Videos app which seems to have buffer issues.
Lastly, tou can download an updated AllShare from the Market if you really like AllShare or want to share your video on your phone to another DLNA device.
Anyone have this or know where to get it? I love how you can take a picture directly from a video.

Yeah that's a neat commercial.
I'd like to play with that app too.
If you have jellybean running, this should work..

When i first saw this commercial i thought hmmm I have been doing this for a couple years now. I just record a video, then pause it where I want the pic, and take a screenshot. I've gotten some amazing action shots using this method. I'm sure their camera app streamlines the process a bit but works the same none the less.
AOKP + i727 = hellz yea

Problem is pausing video typically results in sub standard quality. I'm speaking from typical downloads though, not raw footage.
Sent from my SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
Plus the fact that a lot of video players leave some form of info on screen, like time bar, video name info, or just a play button in, the middle of the screen showing you can tap to play.
My bad I guess it does leave stuff on the screen with android. I've only been using android for about 6 months now. I was speaking from my years of experience with iOS. I should have tried it before I posted I guess. Worked like a charm on my iPhone with no quality loss.
AOKP + i727 = hellz yea

Couldn't really get it to work. I manually installed it, no force close or anything, just said it couldn't connect to the camera then closed.

Same here. It's for the GSIII so I assume there are some subtle differences.

haha it's like saying : I have a car but it doesn't drive , start or move, wait, it also doesn't have tires on it....
PS: Camera is a core system app...so much dependent on kernel and ROM...You can't take out a BMW gearbox and put it on a roof of a Honda and expect it to work !

For me the camera opens then force closes saying gallery has forced closed. It would be an awesome mod if we could get it to work.

Hey guys, just recieved my tablet in the mail and promptly rooted it. downloaded screencast and when trying to play back a recording its just a black screen with a green stripe. I kind of need this because I run a YouTube channel that depends on screencast so I can do gameplay. I could wait for my GS3 but thats not for another week and a half.
Any insight onto this would help. would changing the build.prop fix this?
Thanks.
I can post screenshots if I need too.
BTW I'm running CM9.
i already opened a topic about this. it's on the 2nd page.
I also need screencast for work. I tried running it on several roms, including CM10.1, sungsonic and an ics based rom. I haven't tried it on stock. I tried with Force GPU rendering ticked and HW overlays disabled and all sorts of other settings combinations but always just the sound works and screen is black. Maybe you can try on stock rom.
Sorry, Like I said I run a YouTube channel so I need to upload videos weekly to the best of my ability.
