So...I'm using Nova Launcher and while bored messing with the home screen shortcuts I came across some extra settings on my S4. I came across "Pen Settings" and was able to access (adjust/turn off and on) the same S-Pen settings that are supported by the Note devices. I also found access to the "Torchlight" settings from the S4 Active and "Video Calling".
So I Googled "hidden settings on Galaxy s4" and "S-Pen settings on Galaxy s4" with no luck.
My question is..has anyone accessed these settings in their S4 or possibly any other Galaxy device?? Do you think this means that Samsung was gonna implement these features on the S4 but decided not to? Or do you they are considering an update that supports these features? Or is this just a TouchWiz thing because the Galaxy phones are running the same architecture? As a geek I find this very interesting.

OK so one of the features Verizon went out of their way to promote with the new ICS update was the "launch bar". Obviously I know where that is on the phone ICS interface, down there at the bottom. Where is it on the tablet? That would be awesome to be able to keep certain apps and shortcuts accessible on every homescreen. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to do it on the tablet though! Anyone able to help?

Try out nova launcher or any other that offers dock options.

Nah I'd rather stay with the stock launcher. Thanks though!

I think what verizon was talking about is the recent apps list where you can quick change to another app you have recently had opened. Do not confuse that with a launch bar that you may see on a windows PC. However, if that is what you would like to have then check out EOS 2.0 rom. It has this feature of putting apps down at the bottom next to the soft keys. And it uses stock launcher. In fact its what I like to call "enhanced stock experience". Great stable rom, awesome features.
I thought that too except they specifically said drag apps and shortcuts to the launch bar for easy access from any home screen, plus the multitasking button isn't new in ICS. Honeycomb had it too.
Honestly I think it was a marketing faux pas on their side because as far as I can see, the launch bar exists phone only.

I used a rom on my Transformer TF101 that had this kinda ported but I don't see it anywhere else.
Basically it is an app that just pops up with a "folder" of assigned icons. Similar to like an ALT-TAB app but displays custom apps vs recent apps.
The Samsung devices have this in the middle of the bottom tablet-mode status mode. I've been looking for even a simple app that I would map to a softkey... but I just can find anything.
Is there anything that can popular a window of apps that can be mapped to a button or can someone with some serious skills create an app that works similar to the Samsung Quick App panel? It was super handy to go between apps without going back to the launcher.
I know you could basically launch everything once and use the built in taskmanager to flip back and forth, but it doesn't solve launching new apps quickly.

Is a useful feature on the note 2. Any way to get it on the note 10.1?
That would be a useful feature for sure! And as far as I can tell it wouldn't be any problem implementing considering the hardware spec. since the device doesn't actually track how far away the pen is but tells if the pen is out and the device is moving with the screen turned of. We know that the tablet feels when the pen is out and do have an accelerometer so it's just a matter of software implementation, if samsung doesn't give us the feature hopefully a third party app will.
any update on this?
Using tasker and note buddy (spen helper) you could set this up.
Setup a profile with note buddy plugin set as pen removed, and then add another condition such as gesture, and have the task be some kind of warning/vibration.

The app imitates the beheaviour of Air Gesture from Galaxy S4 (some options need root like gallery swipe and browser scroll) It also emulates Quick Glance, Air Call accept etc etc..
You can also control your music/video players, start your desired app on a move, switch to previous apps, jump to launchscreen....you can check the features bellow.
I had the s4 and remember this. I now have the s5. Did it not come with this? I can't remember where the setting was on the s4 to look on my s5.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
S5 comes with it, called Air Wake UP. But this APP offers more functions such as you can hovering your hand above screen to lock it.
I like it. One thing though....is there a way to disable it showing on status bar as running?
