[Q] How do I shrink my windows? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4

I am talking about the feature where if you swipe in from the top right corner, it can shrink the window or minimize it to a small dot on the screen. Does not seem to be working for me. Is it linked to a specific service or is it an options setting to turn on?
Thanks!

**EDIT - Looks like I just had to enable multi window, which was not on by default, in the settings section.

It's typical Samsung style - a half-assed gimmicky feature. I have the multi window enabled, but I almost always end up pulling the notification bar. Bad implementation of the feature.

Pie seems great, but...

A few of the roms have the ability for PIE which i assume is a PA thing. I am a currently using PAC and it has the ability for pie, And i see the amazingness of it but i just cant see how i can use it.... I swipe in from edges all the time on my phone for different things and pie will always get in the way of that... It has a "Trigger area" but i dont know what thats doing because its not changing anything... You should be able to move the trigger area to any section of the top, bottom, left, or right sides, like not the whole left, burt only a small section of it....
Also, shouldn't you be able to add additional apps to it? wouldn't that make it even more functional.
Who came up with this? is this a google thing? an OEM thing or did a Dev do this himself? It seems incredibly polished!
Pie can do all that, go into its settings and explore. Ull see it does only swipe in from a certain side and u can assign apps or whatever u want for it.

I guess i wasn't clear, I know that you can pick only one side, but i use swiping in from the side in other apps. On the launcher, i swipe to go from screen to screen, and anywhere I pull down notifications. In chrome, the verge, dolphin, astro I swipe in from the sides. And alot of times I swipe in from top or bottom where I'm scrolling, it just gets in the way alot...
Why I meant was, you should be able to use only a portion of the side or top, like just a little bit of the top or middle of the left side would activate it.
Oh okay got ya. Seems like that would be useful. Contact the dev and see if u can get him to implement it.

What is pie? Browser?
Edit: Ok, got it, Pie Control. Looks nice. I'll try, thanks.
The default trigger is usually the middle side and can be set for left and right not just one side. The trick is not to swipe right away. Just tap the middle of the edge of the screen and it will trigger pie. Then u can swipe to your desired pie action. This way should not interfere with other swipe function. After a while you'll know how to trigger it quickly. I love this app on the note 2 as I do not need to deal with the capacitive buttons anymore or to reach all the way on top to drop the notification bar.

you can change the length and thickness of the activation area under pie settings. make it as small and thin as you like. for me it only activates from the very center of the very edge of my screen which leaves the majority of the rest of the side for swiping gestures

How do you change the length? I dont see any option to change the length. I can only change the thickness and location of the activation area whether its left, right or both. Mine is showing the whole length of the side of the screen as the activation area.

If you're rooted on any rom Google lmt launcher. Its on xda in the general apps section. This app had pie working way before PA did and has a ton of customization. Even gestures. One thing PA does better is notifications. Remember LMT

Double tap to wake

My buddy has an LG G2 which has this feature that allows you to double tap on the screen to wake up the device. Is this possible on the note 3 either innately or with the help of an app?
Sorry to revive this thread, but i have the same question
You can get this on a rooted note 3. Some custom kernels and roms offer this functionality.

Someone should just make it a flashable zip and include the kernel needed or explain what kernel is needed before flashing. I too would be interested in a double tap to wake/sleep

I had the G2 for only a week and I still find myself double taping the note 3 sceen to wake it. +1 on this mod.
I want this feature too.
Needs to be implemented on the kernel side of things....why not just "tap" your home button?
gonna search a rom with this feature, please tell me if you are using one

Are you guys forgetting about the Quick Glance feature on the phone? Or is it just hated in general. Does not put any wear and tear on the physical home button, but also wont add to the finger print mess already on the screen. Only drawback is that it does not work if the phone is not on a flat surface (which i think is the case for the double tap feature on the LG G2, i could be wrong though).
I activate this more on accident than doing in intentionally when i try to reach over my phone.
To enable (disable) and customize Quick Glance on Note 3, do as follows:
1. Open Settings and go to Controls
2. Under Motion Control, make sure Air Gesture is enabled, and then tap on Air Gesture
3. Tap on Quick Glance and use the sliding button on the top right to enable (or disable) it
4. To customize the information you want to see, you can check or uncheck the following information: Notification icons, Missed calls, Unread messages, Battery power and Current music info (Time & Date are always shown)
5. To use Quick Glance feature, put your device on a flat surface facing upwards, and when the screen is off, move you hand above the sensor Locate on the top right

Lol quick glance doesn't wake your phone. It's not the same thing we're taking about. And the lg g2 you can double tap to wake/sleep with the phone at any angle
I disabled quick glance, I dont use it at all.

Notification Look

Why doesn't my drop down have these options? Is there a setting I'm missing?

Our version of lollipop doesn't have it. I'm personally glad. Wasted space.
Yeah I don't see that or options to enable it in Lollipop. I never used it so it doesn't bother me that it's gone.
If you want the buttons just swipe down, push the three squares with the arrows, push the pencil icon and drag quick connect and s finder to the top bar...

Nice find. If i reduce the size of the icons they fit perfectly in the edge.set to autohide and your ready to go.
Needs way to arrange the apps in the order you like but good other than that(Lists in order you add them at the moment)
yep, nice find; hope there are more like this coming for the edge!

Great find! And they say the edge isn't very functional.. lol
Thanks! This adds much functionality to the opposite edge and enables both sides to be utilized. I'll be curios to see what the battery consumption (if any) is.
I just downloaded and am going to give it a try, thanks.
I don't want to jump the post but I think since its in the same vein those playing with this sort of thing might want to give Swipepad a spin around the block. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.conduction.swipepad.android You have to buy into a number of different add on apps to get full functionality and I think the buy in is too steep for what you get but if the stock functions work for you it can be a nice add. Right now I have it set up as a grid of work contacts and it functions well in that use.
Edit... Ok, fiddled with the app, totally dig it. If the guy keeps going with it he has a winner.
It just needs more functionality otherwise it is the best i could have found. Thanks to the app developer
Great find, been looking for something similar to when I had my note edge. Started to live by the edge... This brings me that much close to it. Wish we could get/extract a working apk from the note edge. I tried to take the sidepanel.apk but I didn't take... Any thoughts?
Perfect app for the edge....just have to block notifications for it to get rid of the constant stat bar icon. Thanks for the find!

Go into your application manager in settings. Then choose this app and uncheck notifications.
Hold down tap on notification and select 'i' and then disable notifications for program.

[Edge Feeds] Many battery and system feeds

Having a S6 Edge since its launch I decided to take advantage of the edge screen with all the existing notification packs I developed for my apps (3C Toolbox and co).
This allows displaying all kind of battery and system information on the edge screen optionally with a graph, including battery mA, mV, %, temperature, CPU temperature, load, frequency as well as memory and network loads.
1- Download the main app
To take advantage of those, you will need to install one of the following apps:
- 3C Toolbox to display any information
- System Tuner to display only system information
- Battery Monitor Widget to display battery information
https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=3c
2- Download individual packs
Then, you will have to download the individual pack (from app settings, notifications, notifications packs).
3- Activate individual packs
Simply go to Samsung edge screen feed configuration and enable the desired feed.
4 - Configure packs to your liking
Each pack can be configured to display a graph or not, graphic colors and its background are configurable as well.
Some system packs allows settings special alert too based on thresholds.
You can also choose whether to show the information in the notification area, with or without the icon in the status bar, or only in the edge screen.
You can find attached a few samples of how it will look like.
If you have special queries or any issues, please let me know here.
Awesome!!!
Looks very cool, just bought the 3c toolbox app, so many configurations(Which is great)
Whenever i check the "Only edge-screen feed" checkbox it's only applied for that 1 notification, i think it'd be better if it was applied to the same button under all notifications.

Thanks for your support much appreciated.
That's a little tricky as packs do not share their settings.
However, if you have received udpate 1.3.5 of the toolbox, you can simply go to the edge screen feeds configuration and add the feeds there. If the selected feeds are not in the toolbox config, those will be directly added as 'feed-only', which avoids having to select that particular option.

I see now that i wrote that poorly. I meant the checkbox that comes up after i check "Only edge-screeen feed".
The checkbox that explains "Don't forget to enable feed in Samsung edge screen configuration". When i check "Do not ask again", it only remember not to ask for this specific notification, whereas it would be better if it didn't explain when you check "Only edge-screen feed" for all packages. But it's no big deal just a very minor inconvenience, and would be avoided with the method you explained. great application, works very well!

Thanks. Actually swiping will require a custom kernel/ROM feature for that. The API for feeds is very limited: update them is all I can do about it, everything else is controlled by the OS.

It's currently set at the top of the screen so that if you enable the historical graph it will on top of it. I'll have to customize the display to center the text when no graph is displayed. Will do so soon.

From app settings: open the app, if using the default tabbed main screen, in the middle tab, tap 'notifications', then notification packs, it will open the download screen automatically. If using the advanced main screen, tap the settings button (bottom right) and then tap notifications, then notification packs.

You missed step #1, download one of the 3 apps mentiond in OP, then in any of those 3 apps settings you can download the packs.

All packs have been updated to position the text closer to the actual edge of the screen. You can update them from the download section, already installed packs will have a circle arrow you can tap to update them.
