[Req] Screenshot gesture (Note, GS3) - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys!
Is it possible to port the screen shot gesture from Galaxy NOte or S3?
When you pass your hand on the screen (obviusly touching it) it takes the screenshot
Thanks

You can try with siyah kernel and its gesture management, that's pretty cool

I'm not really sure if either of these are capable of providing screenshot facility, but you could try the kernel-level gesture recognition implemented in Siyah 4.1.5. but for that you'd have to edit the gesture pattern and command script yourself. If you're not comfortable with that, you could try the gesture feature of Go launcher.
But like I said, im not a 100% sure either one would provide the screenshot capability as it doesn't seem as simple as something like locking the screen or making a phonecall.

[Q] You can change brightness by swiping the taskbar?

I just got the AT&T Note today and I notice I can control the screen brightness from ANY screen by doing this:
1). Press and hold the top taskbar
2). Swipe left to reduce brightness - swipe right to increase brightness
Is this a Note feature or a Kernel feature? I am rooted using Odin.
It is a Touchwiz feature, AFAIK.
Its called status bar, and its touchwiz feature.

multitask app

is there any good multitasking app? i like a swipe gesture (like zephyr from iphone) rather than long press home and also should have app killing capabilities, also what app are ok to kill from the running list?
Do not use a task killer.

+1 billion.
Download Nova launcher and then you can put an icon on your homescreen that let's you get into the multitasking menu with one press.
It will work with TW too.

ive read the description of nova launcher but couldnt find anythinga bout multi tasking. can you explain a bit more?
Not only nova you can have it in apex too, in fact you can simply bring the recent apps menu by making a swipe gesture on home screen

I'm not sure if it works on the gs3, but I use an amazing app on my transformer prime called gesture control.
It basically allows you to define actions by using gestures.
You can define two,three,and four finger gestures.
It really is great. Needs root though.
So you can define a gesture for bringing up the multitasking menu and it works throughout the whole system anywhere.
You don't have to be on the launcher homescreen .

tried apex launcher but couldnt get it to work when im inside an app. ill try gesture control. anyone else have any suggestion for me
anyone can give me suggestion on a great gesture app that can open the recent app from anywhere?
Wave launcher is also cool multitasker. Quite different though.
Also looking for this, something like zephyr for IOS that works inside apps. It allows to close an app just sweeping from bottom to top.

i tried the app and it worked great. Can I ask what the risk of enabling usb debugging is? Im kinda paranoid of what it does, also can you suggest to me what good gesture is best to bring up the recent app list?
What does usb debugging do?
I don't understand why you don't just want to hold home? Plus when on this screen if you swype to left or right the preview is binned.
As for killing apps, Android runs on linux, linux manages ram very well and indeed runs better when you don't keep closing things all the time, it caches processes to save you time and battery when you next need them!
I use a app called "multitask shortcut" which is awesome and it only cost .50 dollars. It doesnt work inside apps though. I wish there was something like Zephyr for Android. It was awesome on the iPhone.

[Q] Can someone port this to our phone.

I saw this in the n7000 forums and I think we need this in our lives.
saw what?
Hahaha.Port what?

Whoops. Lack of focus.
I believe the devs are already working on it :good::fingers-crossed::laugh:
I believe paranoid let's you choose which apps you want in tablet mode.
Why would you want onscreen buttons when you already have physical buttons? Seems like a waste of screen space to me.

On screen buttons allow navigation using the spen on non touchwiz ROMs.

First, yes paranoid allows you to choose DPI, tablet mode, and large screen per app.
Second, it has an optional nav bar, but...
Third, it supports spen gestures.
I recommend it.

What feature would you like to see added to the note 2?

In case any developers are looking for new ideas to fold in....
I would like to see a custom circular menu surround the spen tip when I long press and have about 12 customizable options in the "full circle" menu. It seems like a waste that long press with the pen does the exact same thing as my finger. Something like Pie but full circle.
What do you want to see?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
I'd like to see the AOKP octo lock screen with customizable shortcuts/apps and icons as well as the AOKP toggles in touchwiz roms
How about google wallet? JK I would like to see an option for a stock jellybean note 2 with s-pen capabilities, or maybe a siri like feature that works better than S-Voice. For the love of god im from michigan and have a "normal" accent and that stupid thing CANNOT ever get what I say right, Siri never had any problems during my brief stint on an iphone 5, neither does the google now.
The lmt launcher is only thing I added. That's the only thing the note 2 is missing. Something that keeps you from reaching across the device for the back key.
I would love for the Note 2 to allow any app for the Multi-View function w/out root... =)

I'd even settle for a theme porter like wugfresh(?) did for Motorola phones.

Correct Samsung's biggest mistake. Not having the s-pen work on the capacitive buttons.

You can use back and the menu button with the spen, you hold the button on the spen and use gestures. Look at the manual.

Or run the S-Pen tutorial in Settings. It walks you through everything.

I'll ask wugfresh next time I see him about working on something like that.
i really want smart scroll that is apparently coming with the GS4.
It would be nice if we could remap the long press action on the hardware buttons.

Yes I know that they can't add s-pen support to the capacitive buttons. But it is being added to future devices. I use LMT to avoid the buttons in general.

I'd like customization of the notification drop down (remove toggles, remove brightness slider). As well as true TABLET MODE on touchwiz, something akin to Paranoid Androids hybrid set up.
I feel the tablet mode mod that exists now leaves something to be desired. That's not to say that I don't appreciate whoever came up with it to begin with, I would just like a little more polish.

(Q) Lockscreen mod ?

If this has been asked before please send me in the right direction for I have searched to no answer
I am using the flip case with the window on the front and wanted to know if there is a mod to change the clock and date colors on the Lockscreen that shows in the window when I wake the device with the power button (if that makes sense lol )
Any and all help or suggestions welcome
I assume that it's tied into the regular Lockscreen but that's just my theory

What i do is i enable "multiple widgets" and then get rid of the stock clock. This will only work if you dont have a pin tho.
This is my home screen and would like to use that clock if possible.
