I rooted my Samsung note 3
and am wondering if there is a way to create a shortcut on my home page to quickly launch the two apps.

Nope. Just set it so you have to hold the back button and then multi window opens for you to open the two apps.

Ok, yeah I was hoping to be able to do it with a shortcut. Wasn't able to find anything online. Any devs out there?

Sorry, I dont own an S3, I might soon though.
My friend said on CM10, the only way to get to Google now is through the search bar on the home screen, whereas on my Nexus, I have that option or I can press the home button and slide it up.
So for the Galaxy s3, someone should make it like S-Voice where you just double press the home button for Google Now to come up.
You can also add a Google Now shortcut on your home screen. That's what I did.

I understand that you can do that. But in my opinion, its too many steps to go through when you are already in an app to have to go to the home screen to do a search. There should be a hotkey.

at your home screen you can long press menu.
to set it as double press home, use the app from play store called "home2 shortcut"
your welcome.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I tried that app and it doesn't give me any options for double tap home
Edit: scratch that, figured it out, thanks

In the Display section of settings.
I found a neat, but insanely infrequent easter egg :sly:
When you go to settings> about phone and tap the 4.4.2 box it takes you to a "K" screen. (Not the easter egg)
Tap or long press the "k" and it takes you to the "kit kat" screen (still not the easter egg).
Long press that and it takes you to a screen that is reminiscent of windows phone.(almost there!)
When you press the tiles they fly in and out and change. The images on the tiles represent the OS designations from Donut to Kit Kat. If you play with it long enough though you will find, (here it comes!!!) A Key Lime Pie tile. It is VERY quick, just long enough to notice it, I've tried to get a screenie of it but samsungs slide to capture is just wayyyy too slow. Just thought that might be interesting to some, seeing as everyone was hyped up on this OS being designated Key Lime Pie. Well played, Google. Well played.

I found 4 fast taps on each screen works & long press on KITKAT logo to get final screen.

Sorry Mje, got thumb happy on the thanks button. Also, awesome. I couldn't get one to stick around long enough for the capture.

just curious as to why you use slide to capture screenshot. why not just press the power button + home button combo? much faster

Because I had no idea about the hardware capture option. Lol, Samsung Haas spoiled me with its fancy motions and what have you.

Am I an idiot or is the only way to record a video is turning off the screen and then holding it landscape and hitting volume?
Whenever I hit the camera app while it is unlocked, it only gives me camera and selfie options. I can't find any video recorder shortcut.
This is on the latest firmware (after the OTA).
If you open the camera app. Tap the button in the lower right, you should see a page with options, one of which is video

There's no button in the lower right.
The button on the lower left only gives me selfie and camera.

That's not looking right to me. I've got a series of options on my camera that aren't showing there. Anything non stock in your ROM??

I just got the phone today and haven't done anything.
Back to the store I think, probably something wrong with the phone software, but if you haven't altered anything, they should just exchange it.

I figured out the problem.
It's cause I changed to the Google Now Launcher.
Can't believe the camera relies on BlinkFeed...
Is there any way to get around this? Or any other launchers that don't do this?
I'm using apex launcher, with a shortcut to activate blinkfeed, like it a lot, no issues with the camera or anything else that I've found. Glad you got it working.

Yup it did. Now holding recents brings up multi window. Long pressing back brings up the menu. Although it doesn't work here on xda app. Holding back takes you back a few pages and then brings up the menu.

A little late now, but Xposed Additions allows you to remap the button for a long press menu. Took me days to find that.
