Hi guys, do you know how to add more application for Pen Window?

I can't find the setting, can you tell me where's the setting to add/remove app inside Pen Window?

I thought only Samsung / Google related apps that listed in Pen Window application, but in my case WhatsApp also included. But no Gallery / Music apps (although these are Samsung default app).

Yeah, this function is really great. I already tested open all 9 apps plus Multi Window and bragging to my friends, and they're speechless, especially iPhone user.

Hehe. But I still respect Apple/iPhone as their core business in making iPhone OS and hardware by themselves (although, not all, especially some chipsets). Waiting Microsoft/Nokia collaboration in the future to challenge them.

Ahaha I didn't even know that you misunderstood. My bad.

Just want to share to you guys that from Google News, technology topic, the top news is Note 3.


News link.

Yes, I agree. But I just hope something good can happen in the future. Well, it's undeniable facts that Windows is still the major OS that we use for PC. Looking for current mobile specs, I do believe Microsoft can make something from their collaboration, not just plain-looking Windows Mobile that we saw today (this is my personal opinion, sorry if I'm offended anyone).

For more easier comparison, see Ubuntu Edge. This is the things that exactly I'm looking for in smartphone, but instead using true Windows.

Well, I still a fan of Android though.

Well you can do that with custom launcher, eg. Apex Launcher. Tested with mine before and it works without root.

Yes, count me in.

My current homescreen. I keep it simple. And its a plus with transparent bar.

To all S-View owner:
Did you try flip the cover completely while using back camera? Any problem with taking picture? Can someone share the pics (of completely flipped cover at the backside)?

Sorry for asking alot of question.

Sure.
1. Apex Launcher Pro
2. ClickUI Theme
3. Zooper Widget Free

I can provide the steps if you want.

Yeah, thats one of the greatest thing I love with Android.
MinimalistUI, GlaskLart, Holo and ClickUI are list of my favorite. How about you?

Great, thanks! Now I see the differences.

So, I take your advise then. Well, at least the pics is still view able.

Wow, what SD card you used? I'm using Transcend 32GB Class 10 already, but still slow when copying data although using USB3.0 transfer mode.

I tested it before, copying to internal storage for 1.8GB movie takes less than 1 minute. That's great.
But I take nearly 6 minutes to copy the same file into my phone external SD card.

I'm thinking of changing my SD card now, but it need to wait because I plan to buy the S-View cover first.

Thanks.

I've made a few test just now. Using two cables, USB3.0 and USB2.0 original from Samsung into my USB3.0 port, I've tested copying an exactly 500MB file from C Drive (using SSD) into my internal and external storage (SDCard).

Here's the result.

-----------------
USB2.0 C: to Phone
Start 9:46:00
End 9:46:14
Total 14 Secs
Speed 35.74MB/s

USB2.0 C: to Card
Start 9:47:00
End 9:47:48
Total 48 Secs
Speed 10.42MB/s

-----------------
USB3.0 C: to Phone
Start 9:41:00
End 9:41:08
Total 8 Secs
Speed 62.50MB/s

USB3.0 C: to Card
Start 9:42:00
End 9:42:48
Total 48 Secs
Speed 10.42MB/s

Yeah, USB3.0 actually improve the transfer speed, although not too big in difference. And it quite fast for a single, big file.
Well, this is just a simple, not repeated test (result surely different if testing using 100 4KB files).

So, I think my card is not actually defect (hope so ), because I believe the standard class 10 is somewhere around 10MB/s. The speed is same either using 2.0 or 3.0.
This is surely not true if using the faster one, eg Sandisk Extreme Pro.

Great, another themes that will be in my collection. Thank you.

Nope, refer to my previous post:

Although my testing is simple (using single 500MB file only), but surely have difference in speed. Not to mention that charging is faster.

Yeah, like others stated, USB3.0 is not the only reason I bought N3. That's alot more reasons, no need mention here as everyone is already knows (SPen, Procs, RAM, LTE etc etc).

Well it's easy, just use the Home + Power button combo together.

Well, here's my step.

Apex, Homescreen setting:
1. Portrait grid, set 9 row and 7 column
2. Icon size to 80%.
3. Tick Use tablet UI mode
4. Tick Transparent notification bar
5. Set Show persistent search bar to Never
6. Tick Hide icon labels

Apex, Dock setting:
Should automatically set to Off (because we already set to tablet UI)
If, you want to enable Dock setting back to On, then it's no problem.
Just tick "hide dock divider" to remove the divider.

Apex, Theme setting:
Of course, select ClickUI. (Kindly noted that this is not free)

Well, your theme is almost complete. Just insert Zooper Widget Free (4 x 3), select ProgressClock, and you're done!
I just did some tweak though for the widget to change the date format.

Thank you.

Eh, just now I tried, again and again but no problem for me..

Thanks for the explanation! Yeah, I think I did that before, but forgot already.

I just did (the teaching step), refer to my post above.

Is it just me, or did the Note 3 thread in LYN forum is the fastest thread ever compare to other phone?

Thanks for replying! Yes, I'm using Zooper Widget, ProgressClock layout. I totally missing his question, because of how fast this thread grows.

Well both are difference in nature. Apex is a custom launcher, meant to replace your current homescreen (yeah for Samsung the default is Touchwiz). The powerful feature of custom launcher is of course, customization. Well, if you don't want to change anything and happy with your current launcher, just leave it.

Zooper Widget is, yeah, a widget. Mostly for inserting custom date/time/weather etc etc. I don't know if you need further explanation for this. Maybe I'm just being lazy now. Hehe

Yes, good point. The simple way to put is, rooting grant us a total control on our phone. Almost everything.
If you came from IOS, surely heard about jailbreak right? Its the same thing.

And rooting void your warranty. But you can unroot back. No worries.
