Moving from a Note 2 to Note 4 is a joy in terms of the upgrade to the features. One feature that I miss though is the ability to have shortcuts to applications right on the lock screen. This allows one to access the app from the lock screen with a single swipe. Unfortunately it seems like in the Note 4, such a shortcut is only available for the camera. Grateful if anyone can enlighten on how the app shorcut feature can be implemented in the Note 4!

Thks! How do I add applications to the lock screen using this method? Only has options like home, recent apps etc.

I've been wondering the same thing. I can't think of a single reason that they would get rid of the shortcuts. I even tried the module on the Xposed framework that fixed the shortcuts for the S5 but that didn't work either. I'm really looking forward to a fix.
The best thing is that it seems like you get more shortcuts when you have the S View Cover on. You'll be able to access heart beat sensor, torchlight etc. Maybe it's a marketing gimmick to get people to buy the cover

Hi,
I've been with WinMo since 2001 until about a week ago when I switched to andriod. I have many questions and was unsure where to turn to. I will try here. If there is a better place, please let me know.
I have a Desire Z that I got with ATT 3G bands. I have successfully rooted the device, overclocked it, and installed Cyanogen 6.
1) When I hit the power button, I still have to swipe my finger across the screen to unlock. How do I make it so I don't have to do this?
2) I had some difficulty upgrading to Cyanogen 6 and was unable to get 7 to work. IfI want to mess around further with roms, is there some way I can backup EVERYTHING so if I screw up, I can make my phone exactly the way I have it now without a whole lot of work re-installing stuff, etc.?
3) The link to the phone, app, and browser are all stuck on the bottom of the phone. Can I get rid of this?
4) When laying apps out on the home screen, there seems to be some kind of grid that they are locked into that makes it hard to move them exactly where I want them. It will let me lay them so they overlap each other, but not very close to each other. Is there some way to overcome this?
5) I can't seem to arrange apps close to the top of the screen because the garbage can overlay slides down and when I move the app near the top it thinks I am trying to throw it away.
6) Is there an app that will show both the current weather and an icon for the weather conditions in the status bar?
Wow, a lot of questions...
1, Go to Settings->CyanogenMod Settings->Input Settings and select Trackball wake/Trackball Unlock or Menu Unlock and after that you will be able to select Disable Unlock Slider
2, Try Titanium Backup (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup)
3, As far as I know CM6 uses ADW.Launcher as default launcher. You can change it to LauncherPro (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.fede.launcher) which is fully customisable
4, There is a grid which can't be changed
5, LauncherPro has the trash icon at the bottom
6, Sorry, I didn't find any
Try beautiful Widgets for the weather

Hello Everyone.
I went and found some of these answers on my own. I also was able to upgrade to CM7.
1) I found an app for it but will try PsHeger's solution.
2) I found that the bootloader/Rom manager do a good job of this, too.
3) I was able to remove it in the app launcher rather than using pro.
4) This absolutely pisses me off. I have a Winmo 6.5 phone that lets me have a nice, organized home screen. I can't believe there isn't a better solution to this. Good lord.
6) Go Weather App does this.
if you set your grid settings to 10x10 rows and columns in launcher pro, you can put the icons and widgets pretty much anywhere.

You can try this, but you will need to buy a pro key for laincherpro to strech the widgets or they will look really stuid

I found that the auto stretch check box pretty much solved the problem with layout.

I have this option on another android tablet. I have one app that i want to zoom to fill screen but i can't seem to find how to do this. Thoughts?
Looks like this is the solution for now:
Settings->Accessibility->Magnification gestures->Turn "on"
After you tap 3 times you can pinch/zoom and maneuver the screen to your liking. Unfortunately you have to do it each time you launch the app.
They mean the compatibility mode that used to be present in the tablet UI. Seems it got removed in the transition to the phone ui.

Do any of the new Note 3 features (pen or not) get impacted from using a different launcher?

The swipe up/home button press my magazine gets removed. Thats it.
You can overcome this, (Im using apex) and you can bind my magazine to a home button press if you miss it.
Using Nova Launcher Prime, all of the spen features work perfect, haven't noticed anything that is broken yet.
Can I disable My Magazine?
I'm coming from the other direction. I like the stock launcher and everything Touchwiz and S-pen related, I just want the swipe-up My Magazine feature to be disabled. Is there a way to do this without rooting or using a different launcher? Thanks in advance,
Nate

hello everyone, my name is opey i'm kinda new to the whole Samsung galaxy s4. I'm on 4.3 right now and i want to be able to use a cam lockscreen widget so i can have quick access to my cam. I can't figure out how to get the widget to my lock screen. can anyone help me out with this?
Well I don't have my phone nearby. But I think the option is at on the second tab on the settings screen. I think it's called my device. And in there is option of lock screen and there you need to check option for enable lock screen widget.

Lockscreen widgets are gone in favour of notifications in Lollipop. You can't have lockscreen widgets without a third party lockscreen app or going back to kitkat.
