multi screen questions

Hey, I know its kinda early as most of you probably don't even have the note yet, but I was curious on how the multiscreen feature works. Can you use it with any app or just Samsung's special apps. Also is the feature packaged as an apk in system app files as to have the possibility of being pulled from the note and ported to other tablets. Thanks, and enjoy your new tablets.

As for now, it only works with Samsung Apps.
Maybe a custom Rom can change that, or a root app.

I was wondering this as well. I'm hoping there will be some way for third party apps to make use of it, but I'm thinking that's probably a pipe dream.

Its a great feature but only works for samsung apps sadly

To make it useable for other apps, Google would need to amend Android to support a virtual split screen. As long as split screen is not part of the OS itself, it will remain a specific solution.

I think the apps that in the multi screen is quite good, you have the snote, internet, polaris and email.

To all that would like to see this in non Samsung apps: send a question to @Samsung-dev twitter asking them to publish an API for this. It may not help but it cant hurt. I for one would love to see a published API for this and the mini apps. They have one For S-Pen, why not for these features also. Should be a value add for their tablet if there were community apps that could use this stuff.

Thanks was wondering about adding apps with UEALI3. Would have been great to add ezPDF to it.

This ability is part of the touch wiz interface.. Its a propitiatory patented framework Samsung will not share it with anyone. Trying to port it can cause severe security issues as this is based on pop up notifications. This is the reason the cornerstone split screen software has not went very far.There was a big write up about this and the cornerstone software on xda tv months back. I looked and cant find it

Currently on ics it's only possible with samsung apps. But as seen with the Jelly Bean updates in India it's going to change to all apps.

Can someone who has it already tell us how the look and feel is for the split screen.
I'm thinking about buying it to replace my 8.9 tab

Will we see expanded multi screen capabilities similar to the Note 2

I know no one has a crystal ball, but I wondered if anyone had seen or heard anything about expanded multi screen capabilities. The Note 2 allows gmail, chrome, YouTube, Facebook, twitter and more to be split screen. I would love that even more on our device, what with the bigger screen.

Not for sure but I would guess that will come with the jb upgrade

many are using the beta update can anyone confirm the same being present ?? I think most of the updates seen in note2 should come but after a certain period of time

Paul obrien has posted the modifications to insert in the applications code to make them work in note2 multiview. Do you know if the same code can be used to make them work in multiscreen on the note 10.1??? Thanks!

Sketchbook from Note3

Just found a thread in N7000 forum with the app extracted from Note3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2444504. Checked, it works on N5100.

Awesome. Works on the N5110 also.

Is there a difference between this version a the SketchbookPro for Note available on Samsung Apps?

could be the same - I have no idea - due to my exceptional and outstanding lack of any graphical skills the app is already uninstalled, just thought I'll share it, seeing quite an interest in graphic apps here...

functionally they seem to be the same. there are some ui differences that can speed up usage (or slow you down depending on your usage needs). the dropdowns are a bit smaller and more "pen frielndly" , but they've also moved some of the tools into a dropdown. either would be fine as i don't see the changes are "magical" and not really essential, but i think the samsung version is a bit more style.

Galaxy S4 Android 4.3 Features (Video)

Here is a quick run down of the key features of the new Android 4.3 Galaxy S4 update, one thing though anyone that's used it noticed the launcher draws slower now? Maybe just me.

I agree, the app drawer launch effect looks much slower.

GOLF and 360 Panorama in camera??
I just wished to ask if the Camera of the S4 has been updated with the GOLF and the 360 photosphere camera mode??
please reply...eagerly awaiting
regards,
achyut.

Is the screen/text noticeably sharper or is that just minor

Does the stock browser hide the status bar in full-screen mode like the S3 did? (Stupid regression there).
I'm also curious if the 360 and Golf modes are in the camera.

You're taking about leak version.

The best reason for use TW is the camera, and nobody talks about it in the 4.3 posts!!!!

The camera is the only good reason for me to stay on stockrom.
Everything else of samsung either useless or way too much. Nobody needs all this features. Especially when the rom is thrice the size of stock android :/

NOTHING about the gt-i9500???? I'd rather stay with my razr hd, instead this mess!

First update from Vivo

Hello Nex-Fans,
Vivo has announced the first OS update for our device which improves the overall, the game, camera and fingerprintscanner performance.
Source:
Gizchina

Thanks! I suppose we will get that automatically (when checked in update settings), but thanks anyway for notifying it here.

Despiter updates(there's even newer update than those at first page) the underscreen display scanner remain problematic according to fresh reviews from android authority.
https://www.androidauthority.com/vivo-nex-review-875140/
Hopping retail unit perfom better.

Saw many reviews and tests on YouTube and nobody has mentioned such problems with the Fingerprintscanner. I think this will be a "Pre-Release-Device" problem.

Damn that's a really scathing review especially re. the software and OS. Makes me kind of disinterested tbh, because the UX sounds like a ****ing hassle

I'm not so negative ... In my opinion it's a very early stage of the device and i think some points are related to the Pre-Release-Device he has. On the software side i think it's only a question of time until there are some other options.
I have a Zuk Z2 Pro and know what i'm talking about. The ZUI interface was only crap but now it's running AOSP Android 8.1 and i'm really really happy with the device. It's better then my S8 was.

Yes but the kicker is as always, does the bootloader get unlocked... I don't know about Vivo and their practices on this.

I actually received my second update on my Nex already... and while the fingerprint reader can be finicky it has worked well (one thing that helped was adding both thumbs 2times)

I got the update a day or two ago as well.....
Any idea (translation) of what it actually encompassed?

only thing i have noticed a improvement on is the Fingerprint reader(seems much more consistent) , the camera seems to focus better and give slightly better results. Also the three bars at the bottom of the home screen are at the absolute bottom now and much wider.

THX!....
After you posted this,I decided to take a look in the Settings > System Update & found the update notes in English (probably translated to whatever default language you choose) & pretty much line-up with your observations/usage:
The notes may have been available in the previous updates,but,I didn't notice the little arrow to click on to read the notes (probably there all along)......

haha yeah the arrow has been there to check the changelog but the improvements they claim are actually noticable to me at least ?

FunTouch OS is the only thing that's keeping me from buying this phone... Any thoughts on the overall phone functionality from people that have it? I currently own a Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 and love it except for the selfie camera being on the bottom of my screen. My main thing would be to be able to get the Play Store and use Bluetooth with my car audio system... Any thoughts appreciated ?

I might be having one serious BLONDE MOMENT :laugh: ,but,I can't seem to find how to make the YouTube app play by default,from links in email/texts/etc.....
Again,it could just be me,the settings on this phone are convoluted,makes Huawei & Xiaomi look clean & simple by comparison.......
So,in the meantime,I'm using this default picker app to help out:

I go back and forth seemingly daily. I lust for the hardware, it is to me the next step on the path to OLED in-display cameras, but that bizarre Android iOS clone nonsense they have going on is pushing me away. Funtouch sounds like a waking nightmare.
I currently have a Mi Mix 2, and already the rumor mill is in full swing re. the Mix 3. Google Mi Mix 3 and check out some early leaks, they are rumored to follow the Nex style. Admitted MIUI is not all that great either, but at least Xiaomi is a bit more dev friendly on releasing the kernels etc. And sorry for the hijack
