This may be a couple of dumb questions, but how do I do the following?
1. How do I get two apps open at once in the multi Window?
2. How do I take screenshots?
I'm running the latest Bone Stock ROM.
Thanks!

Dont know about your 1st question coz i dont use it... but to take a screenshot press power + home buttons at the same time or swipe the edge of your palm across the screen...

Hold back button to get the multi window tool open, drag an app out of that drawer to the top or bottom, repeat with another app.

There are videos that show how to do these things plus many more on YouTube.

Answer to number 1 is open the multi window sidebar. Drag the app you want into the main window. Then open the sidebar again and drag another app over the app you have running.
This works for some apps not all of them unless you did some mods

Thanks for the input guys... Much appreciated.
Jax you're right... I should have done a little more research first before posting. Thanks for the reminder.

You're welcome. I just watched one earlier today to learn how to set up the ir blaster. Turned out I had frozen the WatchOn app that the remote control is in.

If that app...Like Gmail has a search function, there should be soft key for search in those apps. i personally Never liked that damn search button so i cant say i crave to have that option back......but i do see it on some apps and on some of them i dont.
The search button in xda app should really be more visible for example.. And actually work

I'm sure that I could search in Tapatalk using the hard search button. The I can't replicate this with holding the menu button in Tapatalk either. I had read it was the menu button though.

Like Chillz88 said, long press the menu button. If it doesn't work in the desired application, it's because it wasn't implemented.
I was under the impression that the spen would not work with flow, but it does! Sure am missing the dedicated number row though. If it had that it would be perfect.

I can deal without a dedicated number row. Just turn your long press sensitivity down.

agreed on both parts. i can type amazingly fast with it
I love it. It has all the functionality of SwiftKey plus flow, so if you don't like flow you can use it just like you can use the normal SwiftKey.
I took nosit1's advice and turned long press sensitivity down to make numbers easier. Love it! Now just need to figure out how to swipe to erase like on the non - swipe version and I will be perfectly content.

Can I see some SPen examples or atleast told a few things they can do ? Maybe I don't have any uses for it or just don't know its benefits of what it can do ?
Or pointed to another thread I missed on its advantages of picture manipulation or CAD examples or anything ?

I like using mine for handwriting to text. With spen switcher it automatically changes from Swype to the stock keyboard in handwriting mode when I remove the pen.
I like to use it for navigation on the device. GMD spen control is what Samsung's gestures should have been.
I also like to use it with photo editing apps.

Sorry im a Dumb a$$ but there should be more example than the help files show to use the pen. The help files are vague anyways. If that is all the pen does it dont really compliment the n2 as much as I thought.

The s-pen also automatically scrolls for you. If you're using the pen and you hover near the bottom of the page the page will scroll down with no other action on your part.

I have to take notes on my 2 when using the phone. Sure would be nice if the speaker phone would automatically turn on when I pull the stylus to scribble a note. Looked for a setting and searched to try and find a mod that does this. If you know how to do this please let me know. Thx. GA

I modded my output volumes so speaker is pretty loud now. No problems hearing. Even with my old ears. Lol

Thanks, I downloaded tasker, but it takes a pretty steep learning curve to use it. Reviewing utube vids to try and figure it out. If you have it down, maybe you can post the steps to have it turn on the speaker when the phone is in use and the stylus is pulled. Thanks.

Here we go folks! Download all the files and then run the launcher. Working great here on the S4.

There is also some apps that you can download also that are 4.4.

I just fixed this on my device. By clearing data, it erased the English (US) language update. Under Google Now settings, tap "Offline Speech Recognition" then "All" and tap "English (US)" to update. After it finishes, press home and it should be working!
I can't believe it works!

Drag an icon to the right to a "new" screen. It will only create a screen for something. It will not create an empty one.
