While the Note 2 has great multitasking, and with root (or without) you can have multi windows for a range of applications (not just the stock ones).
But, as far as I am aware, this doesn't include widgets.
This app allows you to having floating widgets, which is brilliant, for a range of reasons. I am sure people will come up with many creative ways to use this app (setting profiles, even has a Tasker plug-in).
Great for running Google Maps with a Google Play Music widget or example

very cool Face recognition app
Ran across this very cool app that gives you Face Unlock capabilities to your tab
Visidon AppLock works like face unlock in that it uses the camera and your face to unlock but i use it mainly not for locking the tab but for locking the apps. You can designate specific apps to be opened only after face recognition
this is especially useful when you want to loan your tab but want to keep your email, text message, market, and pictures secure so they only be opened if the tab recognizes your face
there's an ad supported free version of the app but for its usefulness i gladly paid out the $1.99 full version
works with HC as well as CM9 Kang (Nexus S phone)

Still a work in progress, but I will probably finish this tomorrow.
Looking forward to try your skin,

I'm currently using some fakery to scroll the live wallpaper (my app broadcasts the new X/Width parameters, but it's a bit laggy) and will do some more fakery to support widgets (both methods will only work with another Star Trek app I made: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.omnicorp.lcarui.test&hl=en since I want to keep everything LCARSian.)
My questions are as follows:
High priority:
What is the code to either bring up the Create Shortcut dialog, or get a list of the shortcut types currently registered?
I understand that once the app creates a shortcut, it sends it to the launcher via intents I'll have to listen to.
Low priority:
What is the code to scroll the live wallpaper the correct way?
I'm using android:[email protected]:style/Theme.Wallpaper to show it.
Demo of what I've got so far:

The screen size of this phone is going to be a benchmark size for the phones coming next year after Google themselves have gone for a 6" screen. How best do you utilize this massive real estate? Widgets etc that make use of the screen. Will start with mine.
