Pie launcher - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

Im on jedi x 13, and have pie launcher working, just curious to what everyone is using it for. I had toggles on it, but the pull down is good for that, just cant think of what to use it for at the moment.

I use it for quick access to necessary apps while I'm out n about on my bicycle. music maps etc its not as valuable as say is you were on nexus 7 but its a awesome jedi feature. I use it without the info showing because I like using the s pen thanks b whoever posted those awesome Hover point icons. If your feeling pie I recommend you checkout a app called relaunch1

why not just show your screen caps?

I've set it up with basic buttons like, back, home, recent apps, menu. I always use it coz it just appears on the side or bottom screen so i don't have to look down to press home or whatever.
POWERED by FROSTY!

Yeah ive tried it for all those things, found that the integrated phone features were easier and more user friendly. I like the feature and idea, just need the proper functionality for it.

Req. No buttons!

I sound crazy asking this but is there a way anyone could take the bottom quick action buttons off to where thre isn't anything there. No phone, messaging, internet, gmail icons. I bought this quick wave launcher from the market and it pretty much makes the bottom icons useless. Or is there a launcher that takes as many of them away.

ADW Launcher (maybe it's only an ADW.EX feature, but I really doubt it). There's an option somewhere in it that lets you cut it down to zero spaces and expand the desktop.
I use it I love it
Alternatively, you can set adw to hide the dock with a gesture, in case you want to keep the buttons but dont want to look at them

Thanks guys, I'm obviously a fan of webOS from palm. I'm going to give these a try. Id be happy with just the only thing showing is the app drawer icon.

ADW can do it.
Here's what I do:
I enable the hidden dock bar and have swipe-up bring it up. Then I disable the main dock so I have more desk space. Then I tie the home button to my app drawer. It works really well.

Changing Icons on Apps on Stock S3 (not Lock Screen)

Is there a way to change icons on a STOCK Sprint Galaxy S3? I'm not talking about the Lock Screen icons at the bottom, but I guess by default they would be included in this scenario.
For example, let's say I wanted to change the default Amazon store app to a simple "cardboard box" .png on my S3. Is there a way to do this without fear of breaking the app or losing data? I know I could do this on my Photon. Didn't it allow you to do this on the Stock Galaxy S2? Not sure.
Your help would be greatly appreciated. I love my S3, and wouldn't change it for the world. Just would be nice to do a tweak like this.I'm a tad OCD, but don't want to root my phone. I've done it before, but with Jelly Bean coming shortly - don't see the point. I want to keep as is.
Thanks again folks -

Just found an app yesterday actually called icon changer free and it works great

Wow. This is great! I was using Desktop Visualizer which was pointed out to me today, and is another great application, but I like the GUI on this one better as it's more intuitive.
I just want to change the icon of an application already on screen, not have to recreate it. This app does that.
Thanks again bud.

Curious

What do you think will be the next update for the GNII to improve it to be more like a tablet? Any ideas?
Swyped by Me & My GNII
I was wondering the same thing, but to be totally honest with you, it's already like too perfect. I really don't know anything else that can be done to it to make it any better except maybe, being able to use the voice feature on it without being connected to the Internet? Just my 2 cents.

Being able to designate which apps are by default started in full-phone or full-tablet UI mode would be great.

I really doubt they will enable tablet mode, they have tablets for that. That and for most people the screen is still to small from the tablet UI. heck even the Nexus 7 runs the same UI as the Note 2 does

Paranoid android and king kang had roms that would run specific apps in tablet mode on my old epic 4g touch. It would be great to see our phones added to their development......

I don't know, I think the whole phablet thing had many hesitant about this phone. I sincerely hope you're right though. I love CM10, PA, and other similar ROMS but they take so much time to get fully functional. I just hope there is Dev out there who will jump in and take it on for our Sprint variant.
the note II is anything but perfect. I have a lot of "gripes" with it.
first 320dpi. seriously? is that a joke I could not root it fast enough to get it going at 240dpi. Ahhh so much better
burst mode is borked. the huge delay built into the implimentation on the Note II renders is useless. as a temp fix use best shot its instant but only 8 shots.
on my S3 I can assign my favorite upload method (imgur for pictures youtube for video) as defaults. just tap the imgur or youtube icon and its going
this is GONE in the NOTE II I have to tap share and scroll to my selections EVERY TIME. very annoying once you got used to the S3 way.
toggles are gone. so I can't turn off mobile data etc.. on the Note II easily from the pull down like I can on the S3.

Iphone style lock screen

Im using the galaxy s2 with jelly bean installed. I want to use pin unlock but is there something more like the iphone, in android unlocking is a bit slower and has to press 'OK'
after pin. And also using camera directly takes more time as the screen is shown rotating and then we have to insert PIN for that. So if I have to use camera very quick inserting PIN takes time..unlik iphone which offers PIN but for shorcut as we slide the screen up we see the camera already hiding beneath. Any help please?

No if I wanted an iphone I wouldnt post it. I just want that 1 feature because it seems quicker and less troublesome

cyanogenmod and aokp rom has this feature,
samsung custom roms may have this too.
i'm using chemeleon rom now and got this feature.
I think that he means that on an iPhone you can have pin lock screen set up and your phone secure but if you want to take a picture you can just show the camera with out unlocking the phone. This has been done by HTC and I don't think it is possible currently
Yeah thats what I mean. I want to use quick camera without unlocking with phone still secured. Unlike ios here its slow to execute it like that
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Suppose I use a ROM like AOKP to get that feature. How do I restore my back files I do using kies which is saved on PC. Because the new rOM does not connect to lies. Help please
And also if Samsung uses kies, what does a Google phone use to back up?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Use titanium backup to back up apps and texts. Everything else should be fine with flashing copy music, photos etc to a computer if you want extra security
If you are rooted, I suggest you flash SuperNexus ROM following the instructions here
Ive tried the aokp build 5 jelly bean 4.2.2. Though there are some changes in it, the main thing was only the lockscreen as features like photosphere was not available. So is it possible to use the official ROM and still get the lockscreen of 4.2.2 as an app?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Just install lockerpro from market.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Ive gone back to official rom as aokp is not very stable and also lack features and details.
Also lockerpro cannot open camera directly without unlocking like 4.2.2

Hi.
Creator of LockerPro here. In the last update we added the secure camera from Android 4.2.2 so you can access the camera without having to unlock.
Thanks for your interest for our apps.

CM10.2 PIE Controls

I am having problems getting PIE controls to work. Can somebody clue me in as to how they work. Not a big fan of trebuchet thus far. Why no gestures? Why no ability to change individual icons? I'll admit it is fast and smooth, but I might have to switch to Nova Launcher. If I do, why did I flash a ROM to begin with.

Because custom ROMs let you do way more than just launcher changes...?

Like what? Not to start anything, I'm just curious. What can I do with CM10.2 that I can't do with Stock JB 4.3 rooted.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Nevermind...I got it to work. Overrated! In order to enable it you must long press the power button and enable extended desktop, not the most intuitive way to implement this. Now I wonder if I can customize the available controls, or are these always configured to be the same as the soft keys at the bottom?
