My LG G Pad 8.3 had a couple of nice features on the lock screen. One was apps that were embedded into the lock screen taking you directly into the app. the other and my favorite was tapping twice on the screen to turn wake up and put the tablet to sleep.
Is there any way to get this functionality on the Tab Pro 8.4?
On the 10.1, in Settings-Device-Lockscreen-Shortcuts, you can add 5 shortcuts to launch apps directly from the lock screen. Does the 8.4 have that setting?

Double tap to wake would be really nice.

I believe the function would need to be built into the kernel. So on a stock Galaxy Tab Pro, No.
But on a custom ROM, or a mod that involves a custom kernel, maybe. You will see Sweep2Wake (requires custom kernel) on other devices, which is not too dissimilar.

Normal black lockscreen. I open Dolphin to a webpage and hit the power button. Now on my lockscreen I have the settings dots showing through. Anyone else?
That's not a Glitch,Almost all apps have that function,It's so you can jump right back to what you were doing,as soon as you tap it,it will unlock the screen & bring you into your current app

No ****? I don't use a lot of Apps. The only one installed currently is Dolphin on my GN. Neat feature.
it actually is a glitch/bug.
normally the menu buttons should be hidden when you lock the screen, but due to a bug, they don't.
there is no reason for them to be there, as a simple unlock of the screen brings you back.
so this is a bug/glitch and hopefully it will be fixed.
One for and one against. Anyone care to be the tie breaker?
hi all
is it possible to completely replace the stock lock screen with another ?
i understand you can download lock screen replacements from the play store but they don't actually replace the lock screen, on may occasions if you lock and unlock within 1 to 2 seconds, the stock lock screen appears.
is there any way around this ?
There is no way around this unless you use a custom rom or what not. Just use the lock screen replacements on the market.

Why don't you just totally disable the stock lock screen in settings and then use a 3rd party lockscreen?

Well my friend you are

The only issue I have is when using the Google now slide to unlock
It takes me to a strange Google now search page that also displays my previous search

Hi everyone I've tried all alternative lockscreen apps on the market but they all share the same annoying bug : if I unlock sliding on a shortcut e. g. whatsapp. once I press back to quit the app and (logically) going to my home screen, it goes back to the app that locks my phone and locks it again. this is not really functional. all I was looking for was a way to have different wallpapers for both home screen and lockscreen. tired of having the same one for both. suggestions?

It's not a bug, it's programmed that way.
App called widgetlocker can do what you want.

Any fix for this? Un rooted because I have a mac. I changed animation speeds to .5 across the boards, but it takes 2 seconds to rotate the screen

Do you have smart rotation enabled?
Smart rotation, enabled or disabled still lags 2 Seconds at least

I have smart cover enabled and mine does not lag at all, 2 seconds is not on.
Screen rotation lag / Auto Rotation delay

OK.. This has bothered me for a week. I did some testing on this and found on my Galaxy, if you do the following:
Go into Settings
then Controls
then 'Smart Screen'
Disable 'Smart Rotation'
Reboot / Restart Tablet
I gained just over a second in rotation speed..
Testing with a Stopwatch it went from 2.0+ seconds to around 0.93 seconds.
Note: Enabling Smart Stay, Smart Pause, or Smart scroll made NO difference..
Samsung Galaxy Tablet 10.1 2014 SM-P600
Android version 4.3
Nova Launcher Prime 2.3
My first note rotated instantly compared to my second one. I returned it due to loose spen slot. I wish I'd just kept it. I posted a video on YouTube. Fast forward to the last 30 seconds. Animation set to 1.5x

I have been using switchr on my mega for ages as it's such a fluid way to switch between apps by sliding in from the right or left. It makes even more sense on this device rather than trying to goto the bottom buttons each time.
You can get switchr for free from play store there is a pro version but you can try it out.

Will try
Thanks for the heads up on this application. I am looking to purchase the Note Pro and this might be just what I am looking for to cycle between Power Point, VNC, and the Whiteboard.
No worries how this is not baked in I don't know it's such simple and useful you can choose by arc like in screen shot tab swipe in a row or like windows 8 by sliding apps in from left or right many customisable options

This is awesome! You're right, with the sheer size of this device it makes so much sense to use this rather than the physical button.
Thanks for pointing this out.
Your welcome

In addition to Switchr, I'm also using (and highly recommend) Button Savior (non-root).
Button Savior adds a small tab that pops out with back, home and other function buttons. (Paid version is highly customizeable). I was finding it annoying to also have to reach so far for the back button, but this is a nice solution. Now with Switchr and Button Savior in tandem theres no reliance on any hard buttons.
Funny I was thinking about the back button would be handy I'll check this out I did email the dev of switchr to be able to pin back button to the arc like you can with the home button. This may do thanks

Is swipe down to close working for anyone? I'm using Flow setting and although I get the visual red feedback at the bottom the application I'm attempting to close does not close.
As much as I'd like to use Arc it's just not enough icons for my taste.
I may go back to Swapps even though development for it is dead.
The note has this built in. at least the 10.1 2014 You can move it wherever and it has home back Zoom notification Shade etc. pretty cool plus no extra apps installed

He mentions in his thread that he is updating swipe down to close as it broke in last build he normally has updates once or twice a week

Nice. Thanks for pointing this out. The Note PRO 12.2 has this as well. I just wish it could be customized. For me, the trigger is way too big and it's slow. Sticking with Switchr + Button Savior combo as they work perfectly.

Yeah, I gave up on Switchr a long time ago.
I now use GMT Gesture Control which is much better for me. I've got a bunch of gestures set up to launch apps or do things that I want to do.
