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

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.

Love this list. Are there anymore? I'm looking for some pop up sticky note type of thing to record written notes on.
Hovernote should take care of that need - unless I'm misunderstanding the request...

I think he wants one that you can write on with a stylus. If that is the case, then there is not one that I know of.

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 really hate switching back and forth between apps and am wondering if there is a floating calculator.

AirCalc is what you want then.

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.
Anyone else enjoying the new update? So far, flows so much better than apex and nova. Transitions are smoother more numerous and prettier than ever. So many more options to choose from, I had to share.

I was playing with the new ADW Launcher EX last night. It is very nice. However, I uninstalled and went back to stock. Because I don't like a pop-up menu appearing when I hold on a widget. I like the JB resize handles appearing. The extra step just turned me off.
I liked 3rd party launchers in the Pre-ICS days. But since ICS forward, not so much.
Absolutely love the new version of ADW EX - they did an excellent job with it. I really like the custom fonts for desktop icons too - looks so much better than the stock font for desktop icons.
Also love the dock reflections - adds a nice touch.
Really don't have anything bad to say about ADW EX - lots of options, great performance and doesn't seem to be a RAM hog either...
Highly recommended.

One issue that I am running into is that I am a not able to reassign the function of the home icon. I usually use the home button to open and close the dock bar. So far I have not been able to do this?

How did you re-assign that key with other launchers?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using Tapatalk 2
I had a hubs layout with instant transitions (that is, no transition), and was a big fan. Setting the transition speed to 0 accomplishes that in the old adw ex, but not in the new one. I rolled back to the old thanks to titanium. Not sure if it's a bug, an oversight or intentional.
Not saying it's bad, just doesn't suit my preferences.
Maybe I should try this too. I used stock for a long time until tried Nova. Omg what a difference with speed! Nova is so much faster than stock.
But if ADW faster than Nova I think I could be 95% satisfied with the speed of this tablet. (browser still has many problems)
I had bought ADW maybe 2 years ago and then it had problem not having updates so I changed to others. Might give it a try now. Thanks for headsup!
Try ADWLquncher ex the november update gave it a new life : before it was far slower than apex (my previous launcher) and now it's far faster and smoother

I really like the minimalist look and feel of the stock Asus theme. Nova, Apex, etc have to many bells and whistles for my tastes. But, I really like the icon dock. Any way to add that feature to stock?

Install CROMI with the new JB launcher. You'll get stock everything and that neat dock at the bottom following you around.

Has anyone found an easy way to switch between performance and balanced mode on 4.2 other than opening the settings to change it? The easy switch on the 4.1 launcher was nice, but the 4.2 launcher is much better, just lacking that unless I'm just blind.

I wish the different apps i use could retain the keyboard i'm using when flippng between apps. I like to use the hacker's keyboard in terminal, and others for emaol [swift, google, asus would have caught that...//smile] etc. I know the os ctrls the keyboard, but if only ... //whine over and happy again.
