Hello,
Is there an app or a setting that I can take pictures with just simply tapping anywhere on the screen and not the actual take shot button? this is kind of annoying. thanks in advance.
As far as I know, there isn't any mod to touch anywhere to take a pic, but if you get sgstools from the market, there is a camera hack in there that allows you to take it with the power button.
I swyped this with my butt, using the XDA app.
Hi
Is there a way to cut an image by selecting what you want and then pasting it on another image? I can't seem to find any info relating to the Note 8

There is a app called Picsay in the play store
Hi thanks for the reply. I thought you could use for instance the lasso tool and copy cut out to clipboard and then paste on another pic without additional third party apps.
you can lasso and share directly to certain apps, but the clipboard is not one of them, the work around would be to share to Samsung note app then select and hold to copy to clipboard, from there you should be able to paste it into any app which will accept it (there are very few apps that will accept pasting of images, the clipboard edge app is indispensable if your doing alot of this stuff)
Another option would be to share directly to your image editing app and then insert other image underneath.
The easiest way: display picture on the screen, pull out the s-pen, click smart select on menu, select part of picture with pen, pin to screen. Load your second picture, properly position your pinned picture, take screen shot. I'm sure there are many other ways using picture editors and stamp functions.
in case you might find it useful, Autodesk Sketchbook will allow you to composite the smart select directly over an existing session/image as a new layer via the share button in smart select. It will use the active sketchbook session (last opened document) and is the only one in my collection of sketching/note taking apps that allows this behavior. Its a pretty decent sketching app too.
picsay pro
photoshop touch
Just figured it out if you're still interested. No 3rd party app or s pen needed. If you have both images saved to your gallery, open the main image. Then open the 3 dots (more options) in the upper right of the screen. Select "open in photo editor pro". Select "decoration" icon. Then select "images" and that will open up the gallery in bottom half of the screen for you to select the other image you want to add to the image you're in now. Hope this helps

How do you "pin to screen"? In my old Note 4 a few years back I could do this as you explained but in my new N8 it seems the option is not there.
I also made with the workaround described 2 posts back, but the option of pin to screen was much faster and I don't seem to find it anymore.
Edit: just to clarify, the "pin to screen" option is available if I use the rectangle smart select, if I use the lazo (which I use to crop a photo) then the pin to screen is not shown, this was available in Note 4, I don't see why removing it!!!
Any one else having this issue please report or am i missing something

It is not missed but working differently.
You need to long press the open program button at the bottom of the screen and then choose the second window program you want.
Hope this helps

Thanks bro....but what about the feature where we can resize the window by swiping from top right or left
It is now only available as up and down, no right or left (at least I couldn't find it)

When in recent menu, just click the app icon. You will see the multi-window floating app option
It is soooooo annoying that you cannot swipe down and left/right from a corner to resize it to window view. Same thing with not being able to change recent apps view for a list.

Yeah this is totally a feature I used often. Especially when playing YouTube video and don't want to interrupt the playback I could swipe from either top corner and start using another application without interrupting the video or sound.

was having a bad day until I read this! [email protected] head scrather :laugh::laugh::laugh:
and can anyone Confirm I will suffer no " Sudden device death syndrome" if i Chose not to update until i Change this device?
really don't Understand how removing useful functions count as upgrades or Improvement. i still havent forgiven samsung for removing action Memo and easy chart. Why take away a useful function???
Glad I found this. I thought I was going mad.
Largely on the same subject, so rather than start a new thread...
Where has the button gone that swaps the top and bottom apps around when running two apps in splitscreen mode?
There used to be a few handy buttons between the two running apps, have they been ditched?
Multi window gone
My phone just updated and now my multi window feature is gone, I've gone thru every setting to find it
When viewing you're recent opened apps, each app has their icon at the top centre of it. Click on the icon. You'll get a small pop-up menu with options. You can choose: App info, open in split screen, pop up mode (where you can resize the app) and lock it.
I don't know yet what the lock functions does.
EDIT:
As mine is in Dutch, could be that the lock function has a different name in English.
The lock function: If you lock an app, and then close all recent apps, the locked app wil stay open. So if you're playing a game, you can lock it, close all recent apps and the game will stay open and running.

Yep, that was also removed. You can't popout the selected app, you can't switch app places. So, if you opened firstly viber (for example) and then youtube at the bottom and then decide to switch the apps place so you can type on viber without covering the youtube video - tough luck, now you have to close both app and open them again vs 2 taps in 1-2 seconds that will not interrupt anything. Also you miss the popout swipe from corner as said from others. You also miss the swipe up + hold for instant split screen (really useful when you play a video @ youtube, will not interrupt the video). You have the swipe up + hold for google assistant... but you don't have the same for the recents - go figure why (never mis-triggered the assistant, so it's not that). So many things are missing, half baked or straight forward broken - really disappointed. I like some aspects of the android 9 one UI, but others are just mind blow not polished at all or missing. I guess to have a "new" things for one UI 2.0 or note 10. After all, why you need a good multiwindow functionality on a phone marketed for multitasking and multiwindow? The note 9 really is more than ever an s9+ with a head scratcher.

Just to add to this, you can switch between multi view and currently open apps by holding down on the previous apps button for 2 secs then you can choose by 2 second press if you want multi window or just currently open apps.
I don't like that if you want to choose an app not in the recent window, you have to close all to be able to choose an app. Their multi-window has taken huge steps backwards. Kinda disappointing since that has always been a defining feature.

Well, I will correct myself, you can swipe to the home screen while choosing and select a different app that is not already in the recent window.
When you open Samsung members app the first thing that appears is something called advices... if you tap you will see some changes on the pie update ...
Other pie screwups
That's not all you've lost, my friend. The multi window setting is gone, as you know. The ability to swipe from the corner to resize and go multi window is gone, as you know. However, additionally, i noticed the following:
- The ability to enter your fingerprints to access Samsung browser secrecy mode is gone/disabled. You can only enter using iris scan or password.
- The phone optimisation edge panel is gone and nowhere to be seen.
- when you deactivate the nav bar in favour of swipe gestures, you cannot long press on the recent apps swipe area to enable split screen multitasking, as you would have with the recent apps button on the nav bar.
I hope there's a bug fix coming and soon
Try multi window app

You can also use the search bar for the app you want when in the app switcher multi window selecter.

You can also swipe the multi screen spliter inbetween each app to fully open the bottom app and then select a different app for the bottom... it's still hokey but quicker than exiting out of both apps

This is not working for me. I'm holding the 3 line open app navigation bar button....nothing.
Got this from Sakitech on Youtube... A big thankyou to his show...
Go to stock Gallery app, Hit the 3 dots on the right hand side (around the middle of the screen) to bring out the menu.
Go to Settings>About Gallery.
On the word "version" under the Gallery heading tap 8 times, It should show a count down, to activate Gallery Labs.
Go back to menu and at bottom you should now have Gallery Labs with a whole heap more options including some UI 2.5 options...
Enjoy....
thanks a lot it works
I saw it on some comment on his videos a few weeks ago and been using it since then.

No problem, thought it might be of interest, haven't seen anything about it on the forum...
Also supposed to be able to get photo editor labs when you take a live focus photo, go to the gallery, pick the live focus photo then edit to go into photo editor. You then hold the sticker icon for at least 5 seconds and the photo editor labs comes up with the option to change the depth view of the sticker.
Did work for me with an older version of photo editor but did a factory reset and I'll be buggered if I can get it to work again...
Was a great feature... Hopefully it will make it into the photo editor in a future update...
