if you mean multi-window that is there on the Samsung UI....it'll get there at some point, but for now I don't think it is available

There are several apps on play store. I tried one of them "multiscreen multitasking THD" (you have to buy it to try it) but soon returned it. Very impressive idea but it could not connect to the Internet with its own browser, so I asked for a refund.

It worked fine as far as the multi window aspect. Quite cool! I just could not connect with its browser. It’s only $2 so you can try and see if you can get it to connect. I wrote to the author but have not heard back yet.

Paranoid Android is currently working on their implementation of multi window, but it uses an overlay concept to do it. IMO this is much cleaner than stacked windows. They also have a notification ticker that works like Facebook chat heads, which is how you launch the overlay apps. It's still in alpha status but it's shipping up to be really good.

Does SuperNote work?

I'm waiting on buying a Nexus 7 but I'm unsure. Does anyone know if SuperNote works well on the Nexus 7?
The bottom toolbar is cut off and I got a rogue force close after about 10 minutes , but it's mostly functional.
You are talking about the Asus app right?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
I ripped v1.51 from my TF101 and it works fine. It doesnt seem to show the bottom 5 buttons on the nexus like but you can get around that by enabling the 'gesture backspace' option, or by clicking the keyboard button. :good: I'd imagine Asus might perhaps include a customised version of this in a future update.
Yea, I'm referring to the ASUS app. I got to play with it at BestBuy yesterday and it was pretty good. I was hoping to get a Galaxy Note 10.1 for school but it appears to be vaporware as of now. The N7+SuperNote would be a nice touch though.
It works perfectly if you change your DPI to 160.

If you like SuperNote but the lack of bottom buttons is a problem (and you're not willing root and try a fix), check out FreeNote. It's the closest alternative and a great app, but personally I still prefer SuperNote.
Thanks for posting those links. The link to supernote is version 1.4 and I have 1.5.

I'm sure most of you know but changing your DPI will cause you to have apps not show in the market

Hello XDA,

Thanks bro. I played with the tab last night and thought it was pretty fast. Obvious speed difference but nothing major' however I bought the nexus 7 16gb so far so good. I'm loving the speed and smoothness. Only one issue. I accepted the update to 4.1.2 and was wondering if anyone knows a workaround for adobe flash player? As always Thanks again xda!

imo the nexus 7 is way superior in terms of hardware and software, not to mention developer support and google support, being a nexus device
Only thing the Samsung has over the N7 is a rear camera but it has, to me, been done as a precaution as to not look like an idiot.

If you're still running the standard 'out of the box' ROM I presume you're running Chrome? Chrome doesn't support flash.
Try a different browser that supports it. (Sorry I can't post links yet but the old Dolphin HD 8.5.1 does I believe)
Flash also works fine with any alternative ROM (Like Paranoid Android) you care to put on the device - using the ROM's supplied browser

I tried dolphin straight from play store so it must be the updated version. I'll try search for an older version of dolphin or try opera maybe? Thanks for the tip!

The latest dolphin does not support flash.
Either download an older one
Or use the AOSP browser, I find that best for flash support for some reason.
All is good. Rooted via toolkit, then installed aosp stock browser and flash. Thanks all!

Oh, Wow that post has made its way around quite a bit. It's definitely an awesome fix and I'm glad that we atleast have a solution, although I believe it should be available natively inside the client.

Awesome. Does it block ads in apps like scrabble too or just chrome?
These may be basic questions and I apologize. I recently dropped my iPhone for a galaxy nexus.

[Q] Note 10.1 port for Nexus 10?

Has anyone heard any news at all about a possible Note 10.1 port for N10? I'm waiting for some of that MULTI-WINDOW love on this beast of a machine. I've Google searched to no avail and have been scouring the various developer forums over countless websites in search of this white whale. Some has got to be working on this. If I knew how, I would be.
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk HD
The multi windows is so buggy... just by watching some of the reviews it doesn't work half the time, or not in the way that the user wants it to work - switching between the apps is good enough for me.
I only asked asked about it because I am a college student and would love to have my chemical equations pdf open in one window while I'm inputing stats into the calculator side by side.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
Plus, I know it won't be as simple as porting the multi-window function. The entire touchwiz sytle rom would have to be ported.

It's not exactly what you want, but close to it. Also a multiwindow browser: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appestry.split_browser_trial

There was a thread somewhere about this, from a guy who was starting to work on it and wanted a hand. I don't have the link for it but I think the development was called Cornerstone, could try googling that?

AT&T Scanner

It's crazy, I have an Impulse 4G (Huawei U-8800) from AT&T and Play won't let me get the free AT&T barcode scanner that works really well for me. It's a free app and I managed to find an old version that works well but I would like to upgrade since mine is two versions old.
I guess there's no way to fool Play into thinking I have something else is there? I've searched all over the place and every link points back to Google.

Thanks, that was actually the first thing I tried. It goes through the motions but after it finishes and I log back into Google, it still shows me having the Huawei. I tried it using all three of the devices offered and no change. I did send a feedback email from the app. It was worth a shot though.
