Customise S-Pen Folder? - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This, I am *sure*, has been asked before, and answered. In fact I'm fairly sure I already know the answer, at least according to the official reviews... but then XDA people have a habit of changing the "official rules"
Anyway, I was wondering if it is possible to customise the apps that appear in the pop-up folder, that comes up when you remove the s-pen from the holder.
Im pretty sure you can't, and that its mentioned as such in a review I read before buying the Note a couple days ago. (On ICS at least... I dont know if this has changed for Jellybean?)
But I figured, if anyone has found a way to change this, you guys would have!
I did try searching for the answer in the forums... but my problem was I didnt really know what that pop-up menu/folder thing is actually *called*, which made it difficult. I'm sorry if I missed something obvious!!
Thanks for any help

Should I take that as a no? Or at least a "not yet".

No, not the side folder however a lot of apps have been added to the pop-up menu at the bottom of the screen, in the themes section there's a thread with links to apps that have been modified to work in this.
Theres also a thread floating around that tells you how to alter an apk file to make it capable of this. The downside is that since you altered the apk file you can no longer update that particular app without then editing the files in the apk file to once again make it pop-up menu compatible...

Yeah I knew about the multiview menu alterations already, its a thread I've been following for a while. I was only asking because, after deleting pen physics, there is a gap in the pen folder I would have liked to make use of.
Too bad

If you go into Settings, and select under System, 'Pen', the last option is called 'Options after detaching pen'. You can pick one or more things to show up. Not sure if this is what you mean, but there you go...

Nah, I did know about that one. One of the options in that settings menu is "Open shortcuts toolbar". Thats the toolbar I am talking about.
Problem is, the toolbar has like 5 or 6 default apps in it.. only about 3 of them is any use. It would be nice to be able to change them to apps of my own choosing!!

Ah, ok, I know you can choose to have only a few or just one, but as far as I know you can only select or deselect the ones shown. As of right now you can't add any others. I think I read somewhere that possibly with 4.1 or 4.2 that may change. :fingers-crossed:

App Idea: Hide certain apps that are in your app drawer...

Here's something for you devs. How bout an app that can hide apps that are in the app drawer. (the tool bar at the bottom). Because right now if someone was to want to hold my phone they could get right into my email, pics, astro, bank account, market, anything! You know what I mean? if we had an app that puts those icons inside of it then that would be a good start. You could call it Drawer Mod or something like that.
Sure they could get to them from the application set up option, but thats not so easy to figure out. First someone could work on that, then they can work on a password lock feature for it or something. I'd pass my phone around more freely if I had a little more privacy than just the pattern lock. (that can be bypassed if you know how anyway). Is it a good idea?
No. Either don't hand your phone out or use pattern lock. If I could use your phone I would dial long distance out of spite.
I been looking for something like this but for a different reason Its cramped lol, I just want to be able to organize the apps in folders or something my games clutter everything. May add password protect to certain folders

Wow you're just awesome!!! Yeah you can sooo borrow my phone and call all the long distance you want. If you gotta call then call. lol I didn't think generosity could be misguided into hate like that. Go back to your cave hermit! What's your problem?
Now back on topic with civilized people.

Folders would be good.. it gets a bit cluttered in there.
Hmm actually displaying folders might be difficult but as for hiding apps I think the easiest way would be to effectively move them to a hidden folder on the phone... using shell commands someone could accomplish this... consider these shell commands
Hide an app
Code:
mv /data/app/APPNAME.apk /hidden/
Run an app
Code:
mv /hidden/APPNAME.apk /data/app/
*figure out some command to run the apk*
*figure out how to wait for app to die*
mv /data/app/APPNAME.apk /hidden/
Make the icon of the app be a folder and the interface copied directly from the app drawer and it might actually act like a folder
Nice! So it's feasable. Now all we need is for someone to apply the info above into an easy to use app, or I learn how to be a pro with terminal commands. lol
yeah i really need that app. in my rokr e6 there was a menu where you could pick different user setups Games:Office:and Custom you could put watever you wanted inthem

That is a nice find! Now there's a visual. Would really make the phone less cluttered and more like a desktop. I wonder if its coming to the phone version of android. Anyone up for making a set up based on that?
Based on the appearance of alternate home apps, some with multiple app drawers, Id say someone will do this eventually.
yea i dont know if its just me.. but i wish that there was more editing and revamping of the normal apps.... like browser/messaging/dialpad/contacts the default. I would like to download replacements for them... not steel/acontacts/chompsms (not saying they arent good cause I use the last two) But with Ahome replacing my home screen.. its not replacing it.. its on top of it. I think everything would work alot better if we just focus on editing the normal features instead of having like 20 differnt versions of contacts browsers and all that.
I hope im understood I sometimes have an issue typing my complicating thoughts.
Me too! This is an app or mod that i have been waiting for. I've been using Advanced launcher with my dounut roms. But now with eclair, it wont run. Im not so much worried about adding folder to the app drawer, but more into hiding useless icons to clean things up a little bit. Do i really need 6 different icon pack icons? when they come up as needed anyways. whats the point in icons for apps that are primarily widgets? PLEASE! SOMEBODY! create an app or a mod that allows me to do this. I would pay for it!!!!

in case i loose my phone i bought App Protector:
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-carrotapp-protectpronew-Attn.aspx
You can define apps which are password or lock pattern protected. This app has to be excluded from a task killer of course. I also protected market, root explorer and terminal.
There is another free app (ad supported) which does the same but only with a password. no lock patter (the lock pattern was the reason i bought app protector).

I'm pretty sure about 6-8 months ago there was an alternative launcher on these forums that had app hiding as a feature. I think it was discontinued quite a while ago, but yeah not only is it possible, but someone's already done it.

Don't go ask AndersWeb, he's already on record about implementing it (in summary, "no", though offering a patch might convince him otherwise.)
And yeah, Advanced Launcher is much more than two months old. At least since August 2009 (when I showed up), probably earlier.
Vault
theres an app called "Vault" that hides the applications in your app drawer
you need root to use it though.
i use it to hide the sms app
then use handcent....so i can blacklist certain senders ......obviously i also have certain adult 3g apps hidden as well
advanced launcher is the only thing i can think of, too. works pretty well on donut roms, i just wish someone would port that functionality into a 2.1 rom.
the ADW/almostnexus launcher that most devs are throwing into their builds now has some of the same functions as advanced launcher (drag n drop uninstall, compressed columns/rows) but no app hiding, which is a real bummer.
this was done almost a year ago
Download panda home app has had an option to hide the apps in your app drawer for almost a year. also to make customer slide out drawers in your homescreen. if i remember, long tap on the home screen then go into the drawer option, it works remarkable well actually.

[Q] SKY ICS update 7 missing "select input method"

Hello,
Has anyone noticed that you no longer have the "select input method" notification in update 7? I had it in update 4. When I went over to update 7 (and subsequently 8), that option is missing. So the only way to change input method is to go all the way into settings. The notification is available after the base zx install, but the update wipes it out. Is there a simple setting somewhere to turn it back on? I searched in this and the dev forums and cannot find it.
Otherwise it's a great ROM. Thanks dev!
This is a one time thing. U don't change input method all the time on the fly. It is a bug none the less, but one that may only bother a select few users... maybe only u
Did the dev explicitly say that? GB was long press in the input part to bring up the option to change input method. I'm pretty sure the notification is ICS's replacement, as the stock Nexus does this. You have to explicitly turn it off in a custom rom. Some kind of shortcut is needed for many many multi-lingual users. I use English most of the time except for a chat app. Don't have to have the notification if bothers others, but a shortcut to bring up the dialog should definitely be available.
seanzscreams, can you please comment? It's a great ROM and thanks.

base to update changes a lot
I've noticed that the non-wipe updates on this ROM do change or eliminate some of the cooler features of the base. For instance, the settings in the base have the different colored, more detailed icons, while the update changes them all to boring blue.
As for the input method, I believe that in ICS, you change that under settings, language and input. In ICS, you can choose multiple keyboards or input methods, with one as "default". I haven't experimented yet, but perhaps the option to switch only shows up if you have multiple input methods selected? Can anyone verify this?
I'm new, so I hope this helps...
EDIT: Yeah, I tried checking off three different keyboards, but the long-press feature isn't there. Now I remember the notification bar change in ICS. The only way I can find to change the keyboard in this ROM is to go into settings and change the default. Not too bad of a task, but more tedious than before. There may be some shortcut apps in the play store that could help?
Isnt there an option on your status / menu bar... That's were it is in smooth ice

You'll make that in the next week.......!!
Thanks LPMatt and droid512. I know in most other ICS ROMs, including stock, the standard way to change input method is to use the little icon in the status bar. That's what I meant by "change input method notification". I also know you can always go through settings to change. To go through settings, I would have to get out of the app I'm using and it's a lot of hassle. Dating back to eclaire Android has provided the shortcut (used to be long press until ICS changed it to the notification/status bar). Looks like Sky ICS ROM latest update just disabled a standard feature, either intentionally or unintentionally. While icenight89 is quite knowledgeable in general, I think he's misinformed about the nature of the feature because he doesn't have to use different keyboards for different languages. It is indeed a standard feature in ICS, not a "one time thing" or bug. I don't have enough posts to post in the dev forum that's why I posted here to see if any other multi-lingual user of Sky ICS has encountered this. I have also PM'ed the dev.
I'm quite knowledgeable?? Aww shucks, thanks friend.
To be honest, u are absolutely correct, I am not a multi-lingual user so I did not even know this feature was present. Based on the discussion I assume your talking about a quick select shortcut from the drop down menu that let u change ur keyboard on the fly?
If that is so its quite possible and highly likely he disabled it in the latest update, as that feature would be present in either systemui.apk or framework-res.apk, all of which were updated in D-7. My advice? See if u can get D-6 off someone then flash the base, D-6 and then D-8 until he gets around to fixing it

See you just proved your knowledge in pointing out the 2 possible apk that is present I think D-8 probably has a new one so flashing D-6 then D-8 would overwrite it again. I'll see if I can pull those apk's and use rom kitchen to make a new one until he gets around to changing it. Who knows, it's possible he did it on purpose as i have seen people complain about it since ICS came out. Most non-multilingual users find it annoying. I actually do too. I prefer the old long press way! Thanks again.
nope, just checked. He only changed the framework-res.apk in the D-8 update. What i suggest you do is pull systemui.apk from the original base first and replace it with root explorer. If that fixes it then you can safely flash the new update rom kitchen just the one apk.

Got it. Will try. Thanks! How do you check what he changed btw? I've only done the basics in ROM kitchen.
Well tried to put systemUI.apk from zx2 base and didn't work. I guess I'll see if dev will respond or put it back in later. If not, I'll have to decide if the hassle is worth it or change to another ROM. Thanks everyone.

[Q] Can Mini Apps be edited/changed?

Hello All,
Just a quick question... can the mini apps at the bottom be changed to use other apps? I called Sammy tech support and they said I'd have to check w/Google since it's built into the ICS OS. I find this odd because I've checked other tabs at Worst (Best) Buy and they didn't have this mini-app tray.
I want to use other apps in its place. I wonder why when you view the mini apps you'll see an "edit" icon, however, when you click on it, everything is greyed out so you cannot edit or switch-out the mini-apps.
Thanks!

I don't have it in front of me, but I believe that lets you add and remove the existing quick apps. Also, it probably isn't out of the realm of possibility that someone could develop a quick app and it would appear, but I bet there isn't a whole bunch of people building these quick apps.

You wont press any mini apps accidently then. Also when you press edit you double click on a mini app to add/remove it.
You can remove them, they annoyed me so I got rid by following the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1692173

Alter Cyanogen mod Settings

Hey everyone,
i have removed apps that i don't think i will ever use, E.G themes, and would like to alter the Cyanogen mod Settings to remove the entires that are no longer needed, as i have never done this before, i will most likely need to be helped step by step, or if you have a link to a guide already made that will be great
This is probably more involved that you would like to go.
That is part of "ROM" itself and can't be removed like a apk in system app.
Do you want to remove it from the source and compile it yourself? Think that is the way you have to go to accomplish what you want. Maybe it can be edited out in the ROM.zip prior to flash but I don't know
dam, i hoped it would be simple, i may have to re-compile it as you say, cause since i removed themes, it obliviously crashes if i accidentally hit the theme button in settings, i'll go looking to see if i can find something relating to that, thanks

Hi,
You can always just try a launcher that allows u to hide the apps u do not want to use....
And you can also disable some of those hidden apps under "manage applications" but be careful since some of the main apps are used by other system apps like gallery, email, etc. I just hide them and its like they do not exist.
This way if a force close happens due that app being disabled u can always reenable it so it fixed the force closures.
Or find a ROM that slim/minimal so u dont have worry about those apks in the first place.
Good luck

He is actually referring to the stuff in the settings menu.
So when he deletes the theme manager apk for example it also disappears from the settings.
At least that's what I think he is talking about.

Minimalist approach. I can see how it can annoy somebody very easily.
Decompile and edit the smali files which is a huge pain in the ass or do it from source, those are generally your only 2 options. I did it for my GS2, it's much, MUCH, easier to do it from source. Understanding smali makes me want to rip my hair out. Stick to the source, haha trust me.
Try your luck. Here are some resources to help you out.

Stripped from the Note 4

This a thread to compile a list of things that we noticed were stripped from the Note 4 in the Note 5. We already know about the big things like removeable battery and SD and ir blaster... if you find something include a work around if you know of one.... I've noticed the removed continuous scroll on TouchWiz as well as hiding apps from TouchWiz launcher. They also removed the "Samsung cloud" which has been present since the Note 2 that allowed my Facebook and Dropbox photos to appear in my gallery..... please if anyone knows how to activate that feature please tell me!! Add more below
This may be a software issue (5.01 to 5.11) but I can not find the MULTI WINDOW ON/OFF switch. Not where it is on note 4

Cant figure out how to hide apps, folders, pics, turn off notifications for certain apps. Also coming from a note 3, the button to the left of the home key used to be a settings button now it only brings up open windows. I do not like this at all... need some serious help here.

Worth noting: On the Note4, you can still access the menu by holding down the recent programs soft key for a couple seconds. On the Note5, you can do it by holding down the back soft key. Holding down recents will give you easy access to split screen view.

I noticed this, as well, but I think this is an "upgrade" as the "100s" of toggles were too many before. I have also noticed that there are less entries in the menu, making it simpler looking and easier to navigate/find stuff. It doesn't always necessarily mean options were removed, but just put into a different place. I think overall, this is a good thing because it makes navigating and using the menus much easier and faster.
Among other things, I did notice in S-Note the ability to transcribe handwriting into text is gone. I noticed this even though I don't use it much, so it isn't a huge loss. I think most of the missing items on this phone are mostly not necessary and were rarely ever used, so it seems like it's basically a good thing.
I do wish they didn't remove the ability to disable the Flipboard screen on the stock launcher. Now, the only way to get rid of it even after disabling the Flipboard app is the install a 3rd party launcher. That is my only complaint, but I rarely ever use the stock launcher anyway, so it's not really a huge issue for me.
So far this phone is F***ing sick!
Predictive Emoji is gone..at least on mine

I noticed this, as well, but I think this is an "upgrade" as the "100s" of toggles were too many before. I have also noticed that there are less entries in the menu, making it simpler looking and easier to navigate/find stuff.

You can disable the flipboard page just hold your finger down on the home screen and then scroll to the flipboard page and you'll see a check mark, just uncheck it. Is that what you're talking about? Hope this helps
Wow! Thanks so much!
That's what I was taking about. They simplified everything so it's not so cluttered, but in some cases it makes things harder to find.
That is what I was looking for. I didn't even notice the check mark before. Thanks, again.

The IR blaster gone, cannot use phone as remote control
As someone who shoots lots of photography. I noticed they have removed the Black and White setting from the camera. It has been replaced with a terrible filter called "Monogram". I have searched through all the menus and even the "downloads" section. NOTHING! I honestly can't believe it. Like WHY? I prefer shooting in B&W. Like at least let me download it. WTH?!

If you have a backup of all your apps using titanium backup or another similar app
you can get that black/white filter file from there.
Or you can even get it from the twrp flashable zipfile which you used to flashed
your rom with.
It's in the same location in the zip file as all the other camera filter files.
(it's either in system/apps or in the system/priv-apps folder.)
Once you extract the b/w filter file copy it into the same location where all the other
filter files are located in your note 5, who knows you just might luck out and it might
work for you.
The filter files don't require flashing or even installing
so there's really a good chance that it will work for you.
To play safe, be sure to fix the attributes for the b/w filter
file to match all the other filter files attributes after copying.
Good luck,
Have a great day!
I've noticed that Google Play Music no longer puts the album art on your lockscreen when you're listening to music. Frankly I'm kinda pissed about this because I really liked it.
S-Note doesn't allow you to change the default notes view. I used to change it to "list view" instead of the default "tile" view. Now I can only see it in"tile"view.
