Hey guys, you have got to look at a Browser in the play store called overskreen. Its a browser that allows you to open as many resizeable browser windows as you like. In the top left corner you have a buttun to bring up forward, back, etc, and in the bottom right corner you can press and drag to resize the widow. For a large screen like our Prime has, it has been a serious game changer for how productive my pad is as a business tool. It still has a couple bugs, such as the last window you opened will remain the primary window, meaning it will by default overlap any other window that it may over lap. All in all, its incredible! It costs $1.50, and the developers appear to be very active on increasing its functionality even more. I honestly think that the resizeable windows is something that could take Android to the next level of multitasking. I honestly didn't expect this until Windows 8 tabs were unveiled.
Check it out, and if you enjoy it please hit my thanks button!

I mean there's a thread about this browser on page 1, with the name of the browser as the subject lol!!
My bad fellas, two posts of mine back to back..... Damn. LOLing at myself! Wouldn't have been so bad if it wasn't like 4 posts down and I wasn't talking about it like I discovered a new planet! Jumped the gun there, lesson learned. Lol

So, imagine this:
You're deep into an application, using it, whatever it might be...say, an email app for example. While reading your email you and a peer are discussing a particular topic...say a fantasy football trade. You are wanting to trade Chad OchoCinco for Donavon McNabb with a fellow player in your league. So you begin to reply, but suddenly you have an ADHD moment. You say to yourself, "I believe I remember ESPN tweeting about McNabb earlier today on how they think he might not play next weeks game. I should check quick." So you hit the home button on your phone, then open up your Twitter app to see what @ESPN said. They report McNabb is injured and will not play next weeks game. So then you open up your browser to see the headlines on ESPN to see whether or not there is a player worth trading for OchoCinco. After about 5 minutes, you return back to your email app to finish the email only to find your phones cache had filled and restarts the app completely and you have lost what you were in the middle of writing.
The solution:
What if we created a new type of notification bar? What if, while not just including power controls and message notifications, we could be relayed even more info? What I'm imaging is this: What if there was a way to include RSS feeds such as Tweets, Facebook notifications, and news headlines into the status bar? That way when you drag it down you can either drag down further, or left and right to access said feeds with the notification bar?
Please include your thoughts and discussions in this feed!
Reminds me of the Samsung Continuum bottom screen.

Great idea! But sadly, the big Steve will put it in the his next iyo-es.
Nvm, we'll cook it ourselves. Plus, our original notification bar has a lot of rooms for improvement. It's nice to have a tweet bar in it, or check in button, with side-scrollable rss. We should make use all the pixel available, minimize the power menu, stack same notification into one category, and if we can, customize all the notification to our hearts content. Push notifications should be doubled their size, and can show on top of any application. It will slide in for a brief moment and then fades away.

Sliding in and then fading away, eh? That sounds kinda like webOS notifications.

Well, sort of. But, being said before, I prefer the iOS5 notification concept. But I'm sure it will require integration with all the apps. Sound pretty much as the rumoured ice-cream sandwich, but nothing is confirmed yet. At least now we can focus on optimizing the current notification bar.

Theoretically, any device running whatever version of Android it's programmed in. What would be nice if Cyanogenmod could it include it alongside their work. *nudge nudge, wink wink*
This would be multitasking in every sense of the word. Nice concept and I hope devs can figure this out.

In a way to save pixels for more places, the notification need not take a whole row but instead just TILES. Imagine when they are put into tiles, we could have 3-4 taking one row, taking much less spaces.
Then we can have multiple tabs as well (like the Sense 2.1 or MIUI GB) where we can put WIDGETS into it, apart from giving us power control toggles and recent apps.
Only issue is, it could be too tedious for single core processor.
I'm thinking an universal MIUI notification bar????
Thread cleaned!
Respect each other infractions will be placed on accounts in future!
I'm new with the tablet,actually just got it yesterday. I'm looking for a note taking app that I can turn on when I'm browsing Web sites or forums so that when I come across something I want to remember I can jot it down without having a pen and paper. Almost like a floating notepad. Thanks. Also I'm not rooted. Appreciate any help given.
The Samsung memo application, while limited, does exactly that. You can run anywhere by clicking on the arrow in the middle of the status bar, then choosing the memo, and it isn't full screen, it just floats there in the middle of the screen.
Thank you
Hey thank you nightmarebadger. That helps. The funny thing is that I've actually hit that button a few times and have seen the icons down there while browsing around and doing other things just never paid attention to it. Once again thanks for your help.

No problem - good to know that at least some TouchWiz features are actually useful to people .
PS: If you'll ever change to a ROM without TouchWiz (like CM9), the Memo app won't be there any more and you'll have to find a different way - just a "warning"

hm...ok,
is it like a widget on my homescreen?
i would love to test it...but there is no demo...
and it costs 1,99...
greetings emil
Not a widget, it opens an actual window that sits on top of anything else open, and you can resize it to anything you want. So you can have youtube open on top of something and use both windows. I bought it, it's really good

It's really cool. I love it!!!
hm...i seached for it before my reply...
if i click on your link...nothing opens, just a window saying google can´t find
maybe its not available in germany?
Not to take anything away from your hard work in developing the product, but doesn't Sony's ICS update next month render this useless for Sony tablet owners? The ICS update should include "mini apps" that will run on top of other programs for ease of use and multi-tasking.
If I'm completely wrong, my apologies, I claim ignorance.
Outstanding app, thank you for the heads-up cuts103!
Hello, recently watched this youtube video of an jailbreaked iphone that got a theme called "exxOS" that i think looked very cool and immediately thought that's something not too far away from being developed for Android with MyColorScreen, so my question is: Is this possible? it really looked cool, check this video out and please do tell what you think and if it's more than just me who would use it ^^

Hi at this time its not possible as in the themer you would need to scroll up and down. And as yet there is know way to make the home page do that as you would need to be able to build a scrollable widget which is not possible.
The only way would be to split the theme over 2 or 3 pages.
What I'm saying is you could have the look just not all on 1 page and not scrollable.
But if in the future @ThemerSupport add the ability to create scrollable widgets then yes but at the min I'm sorry to say but no
All the best

Hi, in the future we will be adding scrollable screens (vertically) as well as the ability to pin widgets
Hi guys!
I'm just enjoying the new open world of my very first Android device, after 8 years of iOs.
In certain ways- it really just very new and fresh and enjoyable-, and in other ways there are small annoyances which i hope i can find a solution with your help (or will just get used to them)
GENERAL, ANDROID, SEARCH
First of all,i'm a keyboard guy. Because of that, since IOS3, i wasn't using screens, but rather the search option, in my opinion there is really no better way to look for an app, but hit the first few letter, and choose from the narrowed list.
In pixel launcher, i was very happy with the search field, BUT, it's at the top on the screen and you have to touch it before keyboard comes up
I mean... COME ON. Seriously?
Phones are over 5.5" phone, this is really a pain in the butt.
I have a big hand, but it's impossible to reach with one hand.
Why not the keyboard comes up TOGETHER with the launcher?? So my question is:
Is there any app, which provide a search among installed apps, and can be reached easily with a shortcut (i mean like in IOS, -> swipe down, and type immediately | no hassle to tap the input field, then wait for the keyboard
NOTIFICATIONS
This one is very simple. Is there any way to make it like IOS?
I mean, in my opinion:
every notification should be one item (not grouped by programs)
when i click on one item, it opens the target itself, and not the program in which the target is (ie: it opens the received email, and not the email app)
Is there any hack / settings / app for all the above?
I would be just really very happy...
Thanks for reading me

Use playstore for downloading the ios launcher if the default android irritates you so much. For other stuffs, Google is your best friend

Perhaps you didn't read my comment properly. Since you had asked if there was an app with features like apple or whatever I said download ios launcher from playstore. Anyways I am out of here. Perhaps some other person may help you out.
You can download the "nils lockscreen notifications" app from play store and espier launcher pro from google
