Now that we have ROOT (thanks beanstown), has anyone tried the old S-Note apk after root? I haven't rooted yet because I'm not sure that's I'm going to keep it (I miss some of the features of the old 10.1) and I don't want to re-root and return it.
I think if I can get the old Multi-window (or if the new floating app manager would maintain appropriate app appearance and/or allow for resizing once the window has been created AND if I can either get used to or replace the new S-Note with the previous version, it's a keeper.
Those two things combined are staple to how I use it and as much as I want to, can't justify giving them up for an improved screen. *I'd love some 'official'' accessories too! Otherwise, I think this tablet is just about perfect
Not trying to be a whiner, just trying to make this thing work as perfectly as possible.
Thanks for any information on this.

I would love for this to happen as well. The new S Note has been making my life so difficult.

Multi window works on Note 3 after installing xposed, it means it will work on Note 10.1 too.

Thanks. I appreciate the info. I'm not real familiar with Xposed and how I use it to get things to work. Can you provide a link so I can do this?
I myself don't know much, stated reading about it.

If you have root, have you tried this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bjbinc.multiwindowmanagerpro
Says it works with Note 10.1, but I realize it is the older version. There is also a free version

I have the app, pro version, works well on old 10.1 and on Note 8. I read in Note 3 forum that they tried and it requires xposed. Without having a backup and not knowing much about it I'm not brave to test it.

I use this on my S4, without xposed.
Any one figured out either a) how to get the old s-note working, or b) how to work the new one properly ? With my old 10.1 I would split screen and I could draw a circle around the text I wanted (from my bible app, chrome, kindle, whatever) and drag it to s note and it would be added. I can get the first note to take a copied item, but subsequent items are hit or miss. Ivwe tried for weeks and cannot get it to work as well as the old note. I may have to go back to the old 10.1 if I cannot get it to work. As it is, the pen is about useless to me for the purposes I need it for.

I am not entirely sure if this is an original request in here, or if it even belongs in here, so please dont kill me if I am wrong, just advise me whar to do next...
But, I am currently running DaGr8's ICS Aplha 2 rom, and noticed that the allshare app is missing, as well as a few others... Now I am also not entirely sure that these apps will work in this scenario, but if they will, or if they can be made to work, that would be awesome... i have also noticed that the photo editor appears to be missing, both of these apps are ones that I use pretty heavily, and would feel a bit more comeplete if I had them, but if they wont work on ICS, then they won't and I will just have to wait til the official OTA hits.
***Edit: if someone IS able to fullfill this request, would you be able to make a zip flashable in CWM for all apps, and then I can just peacemeal them myself through TiBu?

I'll second that request! if only for the photo editor that came stock with the i717.
I put a request in the NOOB forum and haven't heard anything yet...
I'm on stock deodexed 4.1.2.
I do have the Samsung apps on my phone, I don't know how to extract them for you, but the Photo Editor in particular is a crippled version without the features of the one that came with the phone on Android 2.3.6

Here is the Samsung PhotoEditor that works with I717 4.1.2. Just install like a normal app.

After doing a bit of searching I think we're looking for a file called "com.sec.android.mimage.photoretouching-1.apk" with a size of 10-12MB but I haven't confirmed this yet or tested it, downloading a version I found right now...
https://www.dropbox.com/s/auvwb5sjr3ee82b/com.sec.android.mimage.photoretouching-1.apk
The one I posted is 12mb, integrates with photo gallery and has Spen edit support. I think the photo retouching apk is what it was called on GB & ICS.

Thanks for the quick help, unfortunately both of the links are for similar versions of the same apk, and are not the one I was looking for.
I don't even know for sure if the editing I was doing was on the stock image editor, but the app allowed the use of a magic wand to select areas of a photo, transform the area to resize an object and fill any voids left by shrinking, etc...
I can't find anything on the market or Samsung market so I thought maybe it was left off of Samsungs updated image editor?

I was like you guys and tried searching for the app. I found a few, installed them but they only partially worked. Even on the stock 4.1.2 they weren't fully functional.
probably missing some libs
Does anyone use this instead of Multi Window Control? It looks interesting esp. since there is a payed version that allows multiple instances of the same app.
I use it on my gs3, works as it says, great app.
Give me some M.O.A.R. because its the ?!

I am running it on my Note 2 now and it seems to work very nicely, I have not found any apps that allow you to run two instances yet though
A question for you though... did this app add the multi-window functionality to the SGS3 or did you have to install a custom rom with it, then use this?
I'm running M.O.A.R., its a touch wiz base rom ported from sprint gs3 which is the only gs3 to officially have multi window.

hello,
am on miui 11.0.5.0 global and was able to remove the stock mi browser(v10.....etc).
am trying to install an older version of mi browser that had better features than newer versions , it installs but keeps closing everytime i open it!
is there any workaround to make it work?
I know I'm not answering your question.
But why exactly do you prefer to use a browser filled with ads and junk?

Poco launcher gives you a neat way of hiding those bits of xiaomi scurf that you can't uninstall - why not just do that and browse with Iron or something better?

I never said i cant uninstall it.....read reply #4
Regardless of ads or not, why do you still insist on using a inferior browser when there are so many others out there that do a better job.

i already mentioned the cause above!......the old version am talking about has a certain feature that isnt working anymore in new versions!.
All you mention is "the feature I'm looking for" or the "cause I'm looking for"
There's no direct mention or explanation of what you're looking for. Maybe more people will help you if you choose to explain a bit more rather than shut down every comment that's trying to help you.

the reason for posting this topic is to get help regarding running an older version of miui browser that installs but closes everytime i open in oreo/pie/q ......it runs fine on other android phones on nougat!!.
specifying the feature thats working on this old browser and not working on recent versions wont help coz poeple who "try to help" would simply recommend using other newer versions or even different browsers!!
if i wanted to shut comments ....i would have simply ignored any replies without a direct solution!!.
Okay, so you know how it works in the software world. Nobody codes everything from scratch. What we do is build upon the work of others to get what we want. Your previous browser would have been built with various libraries that it hooks into to provide different functionality. Now a new one has come out which was installed on your fone and this is using later versions of the libraries and possibly some APIs may have been dropped. So you're trying to use the old browser with the new libraries and it's entirely possible that the APIs/ABIs it needs are no longer available. So you're SOL. You're going to have to run your browser in debug mode to see what's wrong. I hope it works out for you.

ok,this is what i call a helpful reply :good:
I'm not sure if this has been asked. But I can't seem to find a good app to use on the note 4, so we can use the spen period.. Anyone every find one that actually works.
I used to have an Spen app that work really well. I just can't remember what it was called. However, heres a link to Note 7 Samsung Smart Select app with Gif added and works great on my N4. Just install as a normal app.

Hi folks,
Question from an iOs guy... last Android was the S3
I switched to S23 Ultra for the use of the S-Pen and taking quick notes as well as use it for my calendar.
If I root the phone I know Ill get a basic Android 13 without all that Bloatware stuff from Samsung.
But will I be able to install let's say the apks for the S-Pen stuff ?
Thanks
Already downloaded all the stuff to root, just waiting for this to be settled and then go ahead.

you wont lose any of those functions unless you uninstall something related to the spen. speaking of root, you cant really debloat using root at the moment. it has something to do with the read and write access.

No you won't lose any spen functions, you will lose anything related to knox (samsung pay, etc) as for debloating, you can do that without root just fine. Google universal android debloater gui from github or google adb app control
Both do the same thing, and both are free and they both ha e plenty of instructions on how to use and how to not break your device. Also I don't have the link for it but google XDA samsung optimization guide and it will tell you how to use adb app control and how to optimize your device. I personally don't use the guide I pick and choose what I want and it's fairly self explanatory.
the best way is disable app relate to s-pen if you don't need it
