I have been experiencing this with both the older, and now the newest version of the Nook software (rooted device running Phiremod). I can highlight a passage and add a "note." However, I can't just tap the note icon and view the note anymore. Tapping the icon just causes a page turn (as the icons appear in the right margin) no matter where in the margin the note icon appears. I can long press the note and get the function to delete or edit, but I can't just tap it and have the note appear.
Have I screwed up a setting somewhere? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
John

Hi all newbie here and did a few searches and tried to look for help but could not find right info, also I hope I am in the right spot to post so please feel free to tell me if I am not in the right place. Currently running ICS 4.0.4 up-to-date at time of writing on Vodafone Australia but I don't think the country of service provider is the problem. I have a problem with my 'Home Screen Dock' NOT THE 'Lock Screen Dock' I can change icons on the lock screens no problems, All the help, forums and videos on changing the 'Home Screen Dock' Icons say to simply drag, drop[ and replace. All i wanted to do is change the stock "Internet" Icon with Chrome. Dragged the internet icon of and went to drag the Chrome one on but I can't as instead of the dock staying visible like on some videos it changes to the Delete Icon option. Cant find settings please help. Also I do not want to use a 3rd party launcher. I tried Apex and do like it but I use widgets and can't use widgets as my phone is not rooted. Please help arrrgghhh. Thanks in advance.
PS . I just have a blankspot where my internet Icon use to be.
Go into your app drawer.
Menu>Edit
Drag the Chrome icon down to the dock.

Thanks for your reply but I have tried that...the dock area only changes to for different Icon that you can drag your chosen icon onto in order to perform a function. these are from left to right "Create Folder" "New Page" "File Info" & "Delete"
Have you tried to hold on the Chrome Icon in the App drawer and put it on the home screen, THEN drag it to the empty space on the dock?

Yes I have and I get then get the same options expect it has text with each one i.e. *Icon with text"Create Folder" * *Icon with text "New Page"* etc
Has to be a step you are missing. I just tried it and it's working fine.

THanks for your help.... OK so here is what I do.
1) Unlock -> touch App Draw Icon. (Icon that says Apps with 16 little white squares)then I am on my last page/screen where I have a lonesome Chrome Icon.
2)Then I touch the Menu button (the glowing white button left of the physical home button).
3)Touch Edit (from the pop up menu *Edit with the pencil icon next to it)
4)The Page now has <::: Edit |Cancel|Save along the top of the screen under the notification bar. and no dock or anything at the bottom except for 6 . . . . . . white dots which represent my 6 screens.
5) Touch the Chrome Icon and drag downwards, but as soon as I press and hold the icon to drag at the bottom of the screen 4 icons appear that represent the function I described in my previous reply.
Please tell me I did something wrong. It should be so easy. Thanks btw.
1. Click on the App Drawer Icon
2. Press and hold on the Chrome Icon (that will move it to your desktop)
3. Now find it on your homescreen and press and hold it and drag it down to the empty space on the dock.
That's all there is to it.

Have you found the solution?
Hi,
I'm having the same problem, I was wondering if you've found the solution.
Also, since recently I'm having chrging problems with my S3 - sometimes it will charge, sometimes not - USB or Wall charger.
I tend to think these problems were introduced with latest software update.
I did factory reset, but problems still there.
Cheers.

TouchWiz used to allow me to follow the earlier procedure (it's how I docked "Maps" icon). This was back when I could also just drag and drop icons on the pages at will.
However there was an update from my telco (Telstra) and after that TouchWiz (as version 4.0.4) no longer allows changing of the bottom 'docked' row of icons. Even dragging and dropping icons generally is disabled it now requires use of the context menu to select "Edit page", first. The problem with that approach is that edit mode hides the dock row and replaces it with the icons "Create folder | Create page | App info | Delete". See attached screenshot.
So now I'm stuck with the useless blue-globe icon forever showing on my page, instead of being able to replace it with the very useful Chrome icon. Maybe Samsung did it accidentally (are they even the ones that develop TouchWiz?).
PS: If Micro$oft blocked the use of an alternate browsers, there would be loud screams of monopoly and anti-trust...
i to am also having the same problems, i am running stock Samsung Jelly Bean OS with a touchwiz home version 4.1.1. hope someone can find a way to fix this and to get our freedom back in it

Apparently this problem only effects Galaxy S4 GT-I9505
I found this solution:
you need to have root access (which is available on the xda forums)
you can unlock the dock icon edit function by going to /system/csc/other.xml and find
<CscFeature_Launcher_ReplaceHotseatAreaInEditMode> TRUE</CscFeature_Launcher_ReplaceHotseatAreaInEditMode>
Tried it using ex file explorer editor but nothing happened, restarted the device and the setting had reverted back to its original state, might have to do an adb push but the adb version I have installed is apparently outdated (keeps telling me the device is offline) so I'd need to update adb first
If anyone can give it a try to see if it actually works on rooted 4.2.2 with stock touchwiz, it would be really appreciated

Tons of thanks! :victory: Works great on GT-I9195T 4.2.2! Now, four left docked icons on homescreen could be moved.
Hi all great developers!
I have a small request from your expertise as I've tried everything I could but still could not achieve the desired results.
Since I've enabled software (screen) keys following this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2032117
There is a virtual navbar at the bottom of my Note 2 (N7100), just like what Galaxy Nexus has and it works awesome because given the big screen of Note 2 it only takes up lesser than an inch on the screen but provides the convenience of not having to press the hardware home button frequently.
However there is a side effect after enabling it, where the Contacts now showing an additional Menu Bar and the stock Camera shutter button being half-covered by the virtual navbar. Please refer the screenshot below to get a better picture:
Contacts (SecContacts.apk)
--Kindly refer to the attached screenshot--
Camera (SamsungCamera.apk)
--Unable to take screenshot of the Camera--
Anyone with soft (screen) keys enabled can provide one?
Please download both mentioned APK's from dropbox links below. They are extracted from stock XXDMB2 deodexed.
SecContacts.apk:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/17026409/SecContacts.zip
SamsungCamera.apk:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/17026409/SamsungCamera.zip
Appreciate your great help to resolve the DPI (I guess?) issue with these two stock apps after virtual navbar is enabled.
Donation will be offered as a token of appreciation :highfive:
For Contacts (SecContacts.apk) I think the menu bar can be hidden by tricking the system that the device "HAS" the menu key (theoretically is by setting qemu.hw.mainkeys=1), however this will hide the Navigation bar aka soft keys.
My problem now is having to *keep* the navigation bar (ie. qemu.hw.mainkeys=0) but to hide the overflow menu bar.

If only I knew how to fix the Samsung Camera with NavBar turned On, I would never go away from the Stock ROM. Any tips(technical too) on how to achieve this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Seems nobody doing this for Stock ROM, I believe this issue is non-exist in CM or AOSP ROM.
So we're pretty much on our own now
Yesterday, a blue semicircle appeared on my Galaxy S3 and now I can't find a way to delete it, just move.
Here's a quick preview of it (I found the S3 image on Google and put the circle)
i.imgur.com/W7C1ynt.jpg
Also, you can move the circle on left/right side and also on top, but you can't delete it. And when you "open" it (with the finger going up/down/right/left) few applications appear (actually, those apps are installed with the Android itself, but...). Any help?
Multi Window.
I believe it's a Multi Window feature.
To Disable It:
1. Open "Setting" App
2. Tap on "Display"
3. Unmark to Enable/Disable Multi Window

You can activate/deactivate multiwindow feature by long pressing the back button.

Multi windows options not showing on PIE (S9+). After tapping the spacer icon the options are not showing (see screenshots). Any suggestions?
The multi windows options are explained here: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00079048/
Yes I notice it. U have to do it the other way... Not sure why they remove it
They changed it a bit..
When your in recent apps there is a symbol that appears at the top of the app. Pressing that will show a menu, one of the options is "open in split screen view".
This is how you now access the feature. I attached a screen shot of the settings app showing the respective symbol. Yellow arrow points to the symbol you want to press (symbol will vary pending on the app).

Thanks for this. I was slightly confused at first, it might be easier for people to understand to say that the app's icon appears at the top of the app in the recents screen, and tapping that icon gives you the options for the app, like split screen, pop-up view etc ?
I want to creat a 'icon pair on the home screen' that option is missing from the new menu. Thats my real question. Sorry about asking it in two steps
You can creat an icon pair in the edge screen but it will not appear on the home screen. Any ideas?

I tried it and I couldn't get it to work either, though I haven't used the feature before so I never created an app pair on my home screen. It maybe something they changed and now is (or with one UI maybe only ever was) available from the edge panel.
Update - Checking the users manual (for our phone with Android Pie) indicates the only way to natively create an app pair now is via the Edge Panel.

There is an apk called split-screen creator in the play store that allows you to create shortcuts that can be placed on the home screen.
Hello World,
I have a SG Note, with Lineage 7.1 and a bluetooth keyboard attached to it.
It is *highly* unnerving, when I am in the middle of some other task and the browser pops uo, because I touched the wrong key combination by accident.
Yet even so I found the button in "Settings" where it lists the pre-defined app shortcuts, I can not find the option to change/disable the same.
I'd be grateful for any help here.
