Guys,
Do you know of any apps that would allow the multi-window feature to work on the M8? Looking to switch over from the SG3 and like the functionality that it gives.

This is the only thing I saw for non Samsung devices:

Any idea on Halo's impact to battery life? I am definitely interested in using it! Also thanks for letting me know about the app!

Hi guys,
I wanna know if it's possible to develop a multi Window app or port of the note 2 feature.
I must have this...

Hey,
Unfortunately I don't think this is possible due to the size of the processor in our phone.
From what I've heard the S2 only just got Multi-window working properly- and this is a phone with at least double the power of our Galaxy S.
The closest we can get is apps in Play Store- stuff such as Stick it!, Super Video, AirCalc, Pop-up Browser, etc etc.
Sad though, I'd really love to see this phone do that

We don't have the RAM in our phones to handle multiple workspaces, the phone is struggling enough as it is... (we're talking about running two desktops at the same time)

Hellp guys,
Just wondering why this external power pack doesn't work on my s3 mini. I know its says specifically made for iPhone but based on my experience it worked on alot of my devices (s1, s2, evo 3d, even worked on my x-mini portable speakers)
Do I need some kind of program? Kernel update? Or rom update for this?
Thanks!

this is the one i'm referring to:
http://en.noontec.com/En/Press/Promotion/119281936535688.html
Having decided the s4 still suffers from a laggy touchwiz from playing with 2 store demo models last week, and being impressed by the ones smoothness in another store; I'm seriously considering buying a one having had a galaxy S1, 2+3.
I have a few questions if people don't mind answering:
1. I'm not sure if I like blink feed and read you can't disable it. Would using a different launcher or will only a modified rom sort this?
2. Does adding a few widgets to your home screen cause any lag in scrolling?
3. Anyone had an s3 and can tell me what battery life is like in comparison?
4. I like smart stay, I gather there's an app that does similar. How well does it work on the one?
5. Is rooting as easy and safe, ie hiding for warranty returns?
6. Any previous s3 users really noticing the contrast difference ie not so good blacks? I've had amoled for 3 years now
Sorry it's long but thanks if you can answer.

1) A different launcher or rom would remove BlinkFeed.
2) No lag. I have 6 screens and 15+ widgets and I don't see any lag.
3) I've never had an S3, but looking at the data, the HTC One battery is better than S3 but not as good as S4.
3. Check the anandtech comparison between the one and s4, they have the one ahead. The browsing time is excellent on the one.
4. Is smart stay the feature that stops the screen timing out if you're looking at it? If so, it's built into sense.

At the moment, there is no way to disable BF on Sense. I don't know of any ROM that has this yet either.
A new launcher will remove it though (and enable more than 5 screens)

Easy and safe yet. But hiding for warranty?
Once you unlock the bootloader, it will say TAMPERED in HBoot. There is no way around this as of yet. If this voids warrenty, I guess it depends on your carrier, or how HTCs view on it.

I had a SNS before, it had a AMOLED screen, but obviously not as good as the S3. Personally I haven't noticed anything bad that makes me not like the screen. It could be that it doesn't bother me/I don't use it for applications that require top grade screens/the jump from SNS to ONE is big enough to shadow the display technology.
This is really subjective, you'll have to try them out your self.

SmartStay is not available on sense. The phone will turn off whether you look at it or not.
I think, this is the only feature I'm missing.

Ahh, so there isn't a sense equivalent? I actually meant a 3rd party app on play store, looking at comments though they all seem to crash the camera doh!

highly unlikely, touchwiz is samsungs skin for android and those other features are more likely Samsung proprietary code and drivers so I doubt they would get ported

Why didn't he just bought a Samsung device....?
1 and 2 are possibly portable to Xperia.
3,4,5 are apps leveraging the sensors in the phone. Samsung has these sensors and made apps to showcase them. May not hold true for Z.

Only number 5 is impossible as it is a hardware feature, the others are doable... but good ****ing luck finding someone who actually wants to spend with TouchWiz, let alone take on the monster job of porting the crap to the XZ.
Hello, my Question is it possible to have some features like Smart Stay,Smart Pause... how on S3?
I know that need some of special data files for the Camera.
But when i really good developer create this files is it possible that we have a correct worked S3 Features like Smart Stay....?

Probably it is, but it would be a little tough porting it to our device I think
