[Q]S Pen Hover Icon on AOSP roms - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all!
I've been using Paranoid Android for the las 3 months, and I have to say it is one of the best most well-supported AOSP rom for N7000, so congrats to the developers and please check it out.
I just flashed back to stock official 4.1.2 because I coudn't find a way to make thr hovering icon for the spen appear on the Paranoid Android or any other AOSP rom. Without the hovering icon it's impossible to work with apps like Lecture Notes (in my opinion the best app to use with the spen).
As everybody knows non Touchwiz based roms don't have the support for the pen, but I was wondering if the hovering icon could be different (some trick on the build.prop, perhaps?). In essence, IS THERE A WAY TO ACTIVATE THE HOVERING ICON ON AOSP BASED ROMS, SUCH AS PARANOID ANDROID?
Thanks!

I'm cm 10 there is an option under language and input to show a pointer when hovering and drawing. It's the last one. Not sure about PA. Check it.

Well, couldn't stand stock firmware so I came back to paranoid. The problem now is that the option exists, but when activated (or toggled), it doesn't stay selected.
So what's happening is, I toggle that option, I go to another screen and when I come back it isn't toggled anymore.
I tried using the pen while toggling to see if the hover appears, when I click it but no it doesn't.
I'm very very frustrated.

Happened to me too with PA. But after trying for some time it worked.

You can show your current battery percentage on the upper notification bar beside the clock. For those who dont know how, check settings > display > show battery percentage.
Its a good feature compared in gingerbread as we have to use another app to show the percentage

wow,nice post!
as far as i have seen it with the new task manager (or more the screen you get when you hold the home button) is that you not only see applications that are open but also applications that are closed but were recently used.
Sliding them just removes them from the quick list as there isn't anything to close
i know you kinda wrote that too, i just wanted to clarify it for the people that might have misunderstood you with that
@boe2hoets: wow cool,didn't know that, thanks!

How are the on screen navigation buttons? (Home, search, back, menu buttons)
Do they work well? Are they too small to input?
no ,this ICS version is made specially for phones with hardware buttons, so you don't have the screen buttons like with the nexus
I have no premium suite
One question.
How come I didn't get premium suite on my Gnote?
I read in some of the forum that some didn't get the premium suite and sadly that include me.
Is there any other way to get premium suite....officialy?
I use official firmwere for my dearest Gnote and never root it.
Some say I need to hardreset my Gnote....is this true?

But if you have any saved certificates (VPN logins, for example), you will have to clear them before you can enable Face Lock. After that you can re-enter them and it'll still work.

There are some kernal bug triggered after system factory restore. The effect is your sd card wouldn't be detect. In serious case it will brick your phone.

does anyone notice or met the problem of the stock dialer open is way toooo slower than GB?

Cool little tip/trick

Don't think this has been mentioned before but I discovered another way to access the quick settings screen on the Nexus 4.
When you pull down the notification drawer, swipe the bottom lip of the pull down window right below the carrier's name to the left or right and it'll take you to the quick settings menu.
I think this is a better and faster way to access it intead of hitting the upper tab. It feels more natural to swipe the lower portion of the screen since your finger is already dragging down the screen
Thanks. But I'm unable to do the same. Please post a screenshot/video if possible.
OR, you can just swipe your notifications window down with two fingers, and not have to hit anything at all.
Doesn't seem to work for me on PA. Swiping with two fingers is much faster, but in PA there's also a setting to allow you to swipe down from the right side (where all of the signal and battery icons are) to access settings and anywhere else on the status bar to get to notifications.
That's on cyanogenmod and any other ROM that uses cyanogen mods source...

It's hard to do that with just one hand though
Just tried it and it works.. Im on Xylon
You have to open the notification bar all the way to the bottom and then swipe.. Doesnt work half way down the screen
Don't work on stock
Btw i found that long pressing on power off will allow you to reboot on safe mod

Does work but pretty much useless. I just have mine configured to swipe left or right corner with one finger
That's actually pretty cool.. I like it! Thanks op. I'm on rasbeanjelly BTW..
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
I have PA and I could not replicate.
However, if you just tap the blue bar below the carrier name with another finger it will switch to the quick settings.
Yes the only trick i know is swipe from status bar with two fingers and it will go to quick setting.

[Q] pacman all in one (halo)

Hi!
I'm a noobi and have a mild flashaholism. I tried many rom for my N7000, but seems to allways return to jellybeers PAC all in one rom. It's the greatest rom I think. In the latest nightlies, HALO is in it. Cool, but have problems: HALO will not deactivate. I've tried to uninstall by SDmaid, It remooves, but halo will not disapear from my desktop. Therfore I can not install 3.party apps etc. Have anybody this problem too?? What can I do to deactivate HALO? Is this a code error maybe?
Sorry for my bad english
Sorry if this is the wrong forum, but I'm not allowed to post in developer thread yet
Double tap and hold on the halo. A red circle will appear at the top of the screen. Drop the halo onto the red circle. Halo is disabled
Hi! :thumbup:
Thanks! I just found the HALO setting and the reverse setting was preset. Now it's enjoyable to use.. yihaa..

Hide Menu Bar on bottom??

I searched and found some answers for tablets but not the atrix hd.
Anyone use a particular program to hide the menu/status bar on the bottom of screen? It would be nice to have a full screen when gaming or video etc.. perhaps something that just hides and then reappears when you slide side screen or something.
Any custom ROMS that have this built in?
THX
This is Paranoid Android, a custom ROM. I believe this what you're looking for. In the second screenshot, the notification center is replaced with those lines, swiping all the way to the right shows notifications, while swping all the way to the left shows quick settings. Anymore help let me know
Sent from my MB886 using xda app-developers app
PAC, Paranoid, and CM all have that feature....in fact, any rom with PIE has that option. Its called Expanded Desktop. There are also apps on the market that have that feature as well, but I gotta recommend just using a rom with that feature built in.
Thanks Guys.. Will check them out
If you're using stock android.
Use GMD gesture or fullscreen!

Note 9 One UI issues

Okay guys.
Just got the official Pie update and it seems that a couple of features are missing.
First, long press "recent button" to split screen in two. (When using full screen gestures), like, there is no way to get another app while listening to YT with screen gestures.
Also, "swipe fast to right" to switch to the last recent app is not working when "Gesture Hints" are hidden
Also, I cannot make apps go into the "Window mode", like swiping from the top will not minimize apps, it will just throw notification bar.
Am I perhaps missing something here?
All that you've mentioned are missing and very annoying.

No, I found these, I just don't feel like swiping and tapping 5 times to get split screen instead of one single long tap.
I thought that split screen or at least previous app would be long swipe to the top, like with home button when you can activate Google assistant.
I just hope that they will bring that option in the near future.
I really miss fast switching to the previous app.

Sadly, samsung implemented a multiwindow close to how google do it and killed their great android versions multitasking ability. It's really not only annoying, but strange why they removed something that they were praised for in android 7 and 8 and before. At this point I better get an iphone as the multitasking is the same (irony).
To show you how rushed (and this sound even funnier given how much time they had) the android 9 is, I will just tell you that you can swipe home-hold and it will run google assistant (like the older home button hold). It's like common sense that they could had done that to recents too - swipe up and hold for instant split screen, but nope, they didn't. Never mis triggered the assistant when going home, so this is not the reason.
Also they removed the menu between two split screen apps, so if you want to switch their places (for example youtube and viber so you can watch the video that is on the bottom while typing) - touch luck b*tch, now you need to close both and open again in the right order rofl (also there was popout there in the same menu). They removed so many key functionalities on a phone promoted BY THEM for multitasking and staying on oreo is not an option for obvious many reasons.
Edit: also the exynos note 9 drop frames in the UI like it did @ oreo if not worse (after it's settled down)... so you got also that.
Issue that i have is in settings, security if i deactivate the Find my Device option, when i restart my phone the option has been reactivated. Also sometimes the full screen gestures so working.

I took advice from another XDA user*: I installed an app called Edge Gestures https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ss.edgegestures which is helpful in restoring a fast switch back / split screen method.

Yeah sorry Samsung but your one ui is garbage, looks horrible and I can't stand looking at this navigation bar everywhere, no auto hide option at all now? I switch to the gestures option instead but swipe up for recents doesn't work at all. Also no update to their own good lock app and without that my phone looks even more like trash lol The notification panel is horrible, just a big white block with some blue buttons, my good lock one was so nice, also back to the boring old task switcher I was looking forward to this update so much, but it looks like arse...

There is also a workaround with this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fb.fluid
It's even more prettier, but to be honest, I'm tired of using ADB, rooting and so on.
I had note 2 and note 4, rocking custom roms since beginning, but now I just want everything to be original, and logical.
I have no clue what the f were they doing while in beta, I mean, come on, no fast switching to the previous app if screen gestures are hidden.
*Amazing*

Feature and productivity wise it's really a big downgrade. Also those notifications that take the whole screen... seriously. No thought put at all. All is done considering galaxy s10, I am sure of that... and especially nothing was done considering the note 9, even the rounded corners are matched for the s9 rofl.
Only things that a peeving me on Pie is the fact that I have never in my life used Duo or installed it but in my settings/accounts it shows Duo, I remove it but after rebooting phone its back??? that and the inability to deactivate Find my Device, I deactivate it, but after rebooting phone its reactivated again... any ideas (maybe with ADB to sort these 2 issues out?)
