Change Apps in Home Screen Bottom Dock

On my captivate there are four apps on the bottom of all home screens: Phone, Email, Browser, and Apps.
Any way I can change it? It doesnt seem to be accessible/customizable.

I havent found a way yet either....so doesn't seem possible.

Yep, I figured it out. Follow this:
1. From the Home screen select "Applications"
2. Menu> View Type> Customizable Grid
3. Menu> Edit
You can now slide any App down to the bottom dock. You can even change it back to "Alphabetical Grid" and it will still save the Apps on the dock.

thank you sir!

Is anyone having success with Launcher Pro replacing touchwhiz?

I really prefer launcher pro over touchwiz. Are you asking how to change the buttons on the dock in launcher pro? If so, just hold down one of the little +'s until the menu opens up and go from there.

on a related note, is there a way to remove the different pre-loaded AT&T applications from the phone? there are a number that seem useless given other apps out there that do the same thing but better, but i can´t seem to figure out how to delete them.

keep your finger on the icon you want to move a second longer than normal (if you have your phone on vibrate, it will buzz) then you can move them around the screen as many or as much as you like. You can also drag them into a bin which will appear in the bottom of the screen. This action doesn't delete the app or icon, it just reappears in the apps page. Very easy but took me ages to work it out. So simple. Have fun

Can I open two broswers at once with split screen?

Hi,
With the Note 10.1, can I open up two browsers at once with the split screen function? My best buy doesnt have a demo unit, and would like to know. Thanks in advance.

Just tried it. Looks like the answer is no.

Nope, You can only have one browser and one other selected app i. e. polaris office, video player, email,S-note or gallery. You may be able to use a pop up browser avaiable on google Play and use this as a second browser.
Edit:
l have just tried my suggestion above and can confirm that it is possible by installing a third party pop up browser. The one I am using is called "Onskreen Browser", I have attached a screenshot that shows two browsers and the S-pen app loaded side by side.

Thanks. That will be a good work around.
This is interesting and can be very useful!

Here is a question regarding this?
Does one of the browsers have to be the stock browser to get it to split screen?
Also if you have a the note app open and some other app that supports split, then you open chrome and firefox in separate windows, can you make one of those windows go on one side of the screen and the other window on the other side?
I am work and my note is waiting for me at home, so after work I will have it.

The split screen will only work with the Samsung apps that have been designed to work in split screen mode, the stock browser is the one that Samsung have enabled which means the chrome browser unfortunately will not work in this way. The pop up browser works similar to the pop up video player where it runs on top of all other apps.

I hope the dev team will have a work around with this.
The split screen will be very powerful will two browsers opened at once, and trading tool platform.

ya i know that it works only with samsung apps, but I am still unclear about the 2nd question I asked. Let's I say have the note app and the stock browser open one on each split screen. Can I then open up another browser on top of it via a window on each side of the split?

Unless its how I have demonstrated it on my screenshot then at present the answer is no, a developer or Samsung's developers may incorporate it in the future.

Cool so technically you could have 2 different browser open on different sides of the split screen as long as you have 2 apps that support split screen open

Yep exactly, in fact this is how I had it but wanted to show that you can have a third app so I made the pop up browser smaller .

Split Browser
Great discussion!
Both Note 10.1 tablet and Note 2 phone, which support split screen don't allow you to open the same browser app on either sides. You can open the stock browser in one side and Chrome on the other side. However you won't be able to open links from one app into the other half or share bookmarks... etc. They will function as two separate apps.
At Appestry we developed Split Browser to overcome these issues. Here are some of its unique features:
Open links and bookmarks from one half into the other half and/or in a new tab.
Resize the two browser halves by dragging the yellow divider line (just like in Note)
Watch videos in full view within each half.
Start new tabs and switch them between the two halves.
Copy the current page over to the other half.
Press and hold back/forward arrows to view history and jump to a page in the list.
... and a whole lot more.
Search for "Split Browser" in Google Play. There is a 5 minute trial version and a paid full version.
Hope y'all find it useful. Please contact us if you have any questions or feedback for improvements!

Thank you for trying it out. I agree, 5 minutes fly fast. However, you can reopen the app as many times you as want and continue to evaluate other features. We want users to make sure all the features work in their device before they upgrade. Please let us know if there is a particular feature you'd like to see in the app. We're working on adding more new features so stay tuned.
I love my Samsung Note II, way faster than my Note 1. Can't wait to test on the new S4. We're working to add Split Browser to the suite of Samsung's split screen apps.
Cheers!

I have 4 different web browsers installed in my GN10.
And I use Multi Window Manager too.
I can open all 4 browsers at the same time

Screenshot annotation app

When you take a screenshot, you're taken to a little app that allows you to annotate and share/save/discard your screenshot. Pretty handy.
What is this app, and how can I access it without taking a screenshot? For example, I'd like to be able to launch it from the gallery to mark up a photo, but the only option seems to be PS touch (which has terrible palm rejection), or Skitch (ditto).
Clearly the app exists... so why can't I use it whenever I want?

It's wierd the way screenshots are managed. If you take a screenshot using the soft key it goes directly to the gallery and skips the editing tool you're describing. Choosing edit from the menu in the gallery sends it to PS. If you take a screenshot with the pen the sceenshot appears along with the annotation and editing tools. But that's your only chance to edit it without having to send it to another app. Why it works that way is a good question.

I have discovered that if you long press on the soft key, it also goes to the editing tool.
Also not ideal but is a workaround due to us not being able to bring up the editing app at will; what you can do is take a screen shot of the picture that you want to annotate and then carry out any necessary edits you wish to do on the picture . The original picture can then be deleted if it is not required.

Did nother know that one. Thanks.

wow I also so wish this could be implemented.
Does anyone know of a good app in the store that could also do this? a simple clean app with annotation features that could be opened from gallery.
hopefully one of those awesome dev guys finds a way of extracting it somehow.

So found a new app, which is very good looking and almost perfect.

I have a follow-up question here. I am new to Note 10.1, and my device is on JellyBean 4.1.2, the latest USA OTA update, WiFi-only.
My problem is that after taking a screenshot with S Pen and annotating it, there is NO direct "Share" button on the screen. The only option seems to be Cancel or Done at the upper-right corner, with Done saves to folder in the Gallery, so I have to again go into Gallery again and share from there in order to shared the annotated screenshot.
I saw a video taken on Note II phone that there is a Share button at the bottom of the annotation screen, and press it would save the editing and bring up the normal share list of application.
Am I missing something here?
thanks,

[APP] AIR Command Shortcut - Launch Air Command with a Finger click

Hello Friends,
Just want to share with you another app - Air Command Shortcut: a shortcut app that invokes the Air Command menu. I initially showed this app a few weeks ago on this post video. This is initial BETA release.
Action Memo, Screen Write, S Finder and Pen Window can now be launched with just a finger click but Scrapbooker still needs the Spen to draw a target window. When spen is inserted while clicking Scrapbooker, a preset app will open instead and when spen is detached, clicking Scrapbooker will function as normal - meaning you need to use your spen to draw a target window to be saved by Scrapbooker. A toast message will let you know when you need to use spen or not.
Pen Window will launched with a preset window size but if you bought my other app - PEN WINDOW LAUNCHER, clicking Pen Window will launched that instead so you can use your preferred window size and position.
Download it below.

Thank you @xperiacle
Worked at my end.

Awesome work bro..
wowww.. working great. keep it up.

I see someone created Air Command shortcut too (I posted mine yesterday ). Thats cool maybe you will have some better ideas how to make use of it. On topic, I noticed you have same issues that I had troubles with:
1) you change detach action (hint - restore it back).
2) you leave phone in 'Detached S Pen' state so if you open this app with finger (and you don't attach spen manually after that) it will trigger S Pen Keeper alert that you forgot to attach S Pen. (hint - I send attach intent to prevent it but maybe there is better solution).
Hope this helps.

So ..
How if you want to launch it with other apps ..
Like browser..
YouTube....etc.

It is an honour to have you here, Sir...you are indeed one of the great devs around. And THANKS for the tips.
Sorry, I know you posted first about the Air Command shortcut but I have been working on it for a few weeks now as you can see in my previous video link in the OP. I just never got to post the initial app because I am having some technical issues. I got most of the menu items working except scrapbooker which works partially for me due to system-level permission issues which I am still trying to fix without having to mod any system file and if possible without the need for root. Apart from that, it seems most are working. I will probably offer the user the option to change some of the menu items. So instead of Scrapbooker or S Finder, may be they would like to launch their favourite app instead. Again, thanks for all your work. Keep rocking.

What do you mean launch it with other apps? Do you mean change the menu items with like browser/youtube or launch the menu items at the same time launch other apps like browser/youtube in one click? If you mean both, yes it is possible but I am still trying to iron out some technical issues. The app in the OP doesn't include those options yet. It is just the basic shortcut app but the final release may or may not offer those options mentioned depending on how I would be able to fix some issues.
The thing is I am still exploring because I don't know what KitKat brings. It seems a lot has changed internally. I haven't tried it yet as I am waiting for my region's official release.
Anyway, I will update the one in the OP with some more features soon.

Great work again together with your Pen Window Launcher even better and your announcment is promising. One suggestio (?) I don´t use the Browser, i use chrome but his is peronal tase. Is it technicaly possible to choose what shortcut i want?
Edit: And another question. Is it possible to link the Pen Window to the Pen Window Drawer of the Pen Window Launcher instead of Pen Window Lancher itself so the Pen Window Launcher Notification wont start?

Yes I used the default browser app as the preset app when Scrapbooker menu item is clicked (when spen status is inserted) but it definitely can be changed once I finished the settings UI. It is also possible to launch your favourite apps together with any of the other menu items in the air command.
Thank you for the suggestion. I will modify the app so it will launch pen window launcher with the pen drawer directly without notification. It's just a small change, I might be able to update it in a while.
And by the way, I already uploaded a new version of Pen Window Launcher in the Play Store. @and2 Could you test and let me know any feedback. Thanks.

Hey @xperiacle ,
First, Thank You for this app, Then I wanna ask if there is some good news about finger Scrabooking.

Thanks for the great App. Is it possible in the Pro Version so see the app icons instead of defaults in the drawer "My Air Command"?

I reformatted phone and installed phantom rom again. After restoring apps with titanium, I got the fc again, indicating that it was a problem related to a specific app. So I tried stopping some apps. Eventually, I found out that it was wanam xposed recent update that was causing the fc. The new features added were causing the problem. So, I disabled the new features on wanam xposed and now there is no fc problem. Thanks.

great app so far i have seen.

But it works fine with the SPen as usual, when pulling it out or pushing the button.

Still not working after a clean rom flash and data wipe, thought i'd better make sure as i had removed many system apk's when i tried before. Any news on this?

To be honest , not sure. I just kept trying normal processes for adding widgets, then choosing nova activities, and under settings there are a ton of options for apps/app mgr, I kept trying different ones and one stuck.

Can not use for nova launcher.

Thanks for this.
The only thing that worked for me (Samsung S9+, Android 8.0.0) was the Nova launcher. QuickShortcutMaker went through the motions, but didn't actually put a shortcut on the home screen.
The Nova launcher works a treat, but why do Samsung oblige me to replace their launcher within the first half hour of owning their otherwise very nice phone?
I always switch on "Do not disturb" before going to sleep, as I use my phone as an alarm clock, so need to leave it switched on, but of course don't want alerts all night. As you can imagine, the last thing I want to be doing when I'm tired is effing around with settings, so having a shortcut to DND is essential.
The other shortcut I created was to the "Change Home" setting so I can easily switch back and forth between Nova and the "Samsung Experience" whenever I want. And you know something's going to be dodgy when they call it the "Something-or-other Experience"
Grrrrrrrrrrrr!!
