Could someone please download the app from the market, setup and let me know if you any text freezing while typing, scrolling issues while on the Internet or XDA App? It was messing with my phone but would like to know if others have issues too. (BTW... I really like the App)
Thanks

Wave Launcher is fully customizable. You can change the size, location and even thickness of the gesture-area. To change it, look for "Gesture-area presets" in the Settings screen.
The setting the works for most people and is my personal favorite is "Bottom Left - 20%". It will never interfere with the keyboard or scrolling this way.
Note that you can also have Wave Launcher automatically disable in Landscape mode which is often used for typing, games, etc.
The app is very powerful and highly customizable, please go through all the settings to make sure you make the most out of it.
Any reports guy's?

Used it and it interefered with a lot of things going on on the bottom of the phone such as opening the app drawer and typing. Just my experience others may vary.

As Mike said above.
I also tried it for a bit, and even changed the popup swipe location but it is just OK. I think bottom corner 20% was the one that worked best for me, but even then I would accidentally press the Home button. Sides are for screen sliding already, and top is for notifications, so there is not much free room to swipe around. Its a fine launcher, but I did not find it useful enough to keep.
I thought it would let me make a gesture to swipe it onto the screen, not follow my finger around everywhere, to where I cant even get rid of it without the awkward swipe back into the same corner of the screen.
What it should have is a setting on how far to follow you across the screen, so if I swipe up from bottom corner, it appears, then it follows me around but only until I get to say 50% of the screen height, then it goes away.
That way, if it appears accidentally, I dont have to swipe is back down, but simply continue the swipe up motion until it dissapears.
I tried it but didn't care for it. Holding the Home screen button essentially does the same thing. Aloso, If you're running stock then you've got your most recent apps in the notification drop down. Unless you are constantly switching between apps, it's pretty pointless.
I use mine for a quickdial and store a few contacts there. so far it hasn't interfered too much
Thanks for your feedback guys!

I was playing around with my Note and noticed this really weird thing.
Go to http ://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/barbarian#WSPTVk!egb!acZbcc (a calculator for Diablo 3) (sorry can't post links). On your computer, you can see that whenever you hover over the icons another screen pops up with a more detailed explanation. Also if you click it it pops up a different screen with more information.
How to replicate this on your Note: You can of course get to the menu by clicking on the icons. But for the hover over: This sounds silly, but put the S Pen about 1 cm off the screen over the icons. It should display the hover over menu. So far, I've seen this work on the stock browser and the Reddit News app (which I think uses the stock browser).
It's not weird, they made it like that. The s-pen acts like a mouse. You can mouse over things by hovering it around, you can left click by touching it down onto the screen, and you can right click by holding it pressed down onto the screen.
If you go to Settings>Pen Settings and enable Hovering Pen Icon (if I recall correctly this wasn't on the original stock ROM, only the leaked updates), then you will actually be able to see the mouse cursor as well, so you can see exactly what you're mousing over.
That's kinda cool actually, i never noticed that about the stock browser. Although i think this may be the first tile I've opened the stock browser since the days of the htc dream and Cupcake or Donut or whatever the thing was running.
Kind of wish Opera had this...

Thanks!
I learned something new and useful from this thread.
Yep. It is a great extra function. Turn on the mouse cursor too and you got a little PC.

This is the best thing since my uncle fester manufactured a 6 foot tobogan out of beer cans, strapped a jet engine to it, installed a flat screen TV, a toilet, and put a mini fridge in it.

First of all, I sincerely apologize if this is the wrong section for such a post.
Basically I trying to setup a homescreen in which part of it can scroll vertically, but another part doesn't move. I currently have Lightning Launcher, which is great by the way, but I can only set it up so that the entire screen scrolls. I was thinking it would be nice for have a spot on the left side of the screen for favorite apps and maybe some widgets (I guess you could call it a "dock"), and on the right side of the screen have a scrolling list of the rest of my applications. Probably with 1/3 of the screen being the left portion and 2/3 being the right portion. Can this be done with Lightning Launcher? or any other launcher? and how?
Anyone?

I am a fan, actually.
First, select the apps you want in the dock.
Then, line them up on one side of the screen.
For each, long press in the new version and select pin.
In the old one, you go to common itms setting or something.
After you pin, you can add a dock by giving the apps backgrounds.
SwiftKey Flow keyboard now available in beta for phone and tablet!
http://www.swiftkey.net/flow/
I've had it for a day now on my Nexus 10 and GS3. Very impressed! The split landscape setup is especially useful on my tablet. Try it and shout out what you think.

Thx so much. I will try it.
dosent seem to be working for me. Its installed and set as default keyboard but swipe does not work
It's swipe in portrait and split typing in landscape. Makes sense for a tablet.

It's swipe while you aren't typing on a url, gmail and etc...
They need to copy thumb keyboard on the spacing and put TAB on main screen....

Not sure what you are trying to say here. The tablet version does not swipe in landscape. I have tried messaging, gmail, forums, notepads, etc. It does swipe in portrait. So, if I am landscape typing an email, then I use my thumbs to type on the split keyboard. Then, in the same process I turn it to portrait and then start swiping. This only makes sense, since swiping in landscape on a tablet seems a huge waste of energy.

You're right, I'm just typing from it and it's lovely. I'm completely sure I'll be buying it. What I was trying to say was that while entering an url, the swipe is disabled, and while typing passwords and such too, so I thought it was disabled all the time. The default android keyboard has swipe on landscape, so i thought this one would too. Thanks for the advice! This keyboard make typing so much easier.
Tried the tablet version and doesn't do auto predict for me.
Not sure what could cause that to happen. Did you configure it after install? Do any words show up?

Do you use boat browser by any chance?
Predictions dont work when using this app for me and apparently its because boat browser specifically tells the keyboard not to predict.
Neither swipe or predictions work on my nexus 10 with chrome and ocean browsers...... Why?
I use ocean and boat but works in nothing
Swipe only works in portrait. If it's not working at all then your best bet is to join the SwiftKey vip forums and report problems to them. After all, it is a beta, and as such they need to know these things.

Deleted this post. Issue was not caused by this app.
I've actually went back to the stock keyboard now.
The predictions are great when you can actually use them but the problem is they deactivate in most apps I use like boat browser. They say that's because boat browser instructs swift key to disable predictions, so why does the default keyboard still work then?
That and the complete absence of arrow keys like the phone version.
Patience expired with this app.
Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work for secondary users either; you can install it, but it doesn't appear under Language and input.
Ok. I just tried using a pencil on my ZXU. When I swiped down the notification panel with it, there on the top is as shortcut for a new note and a new sketch. These shortcuts only showed when I swiped with a pencil.

What kind of pencils are people using for Ultra?
I'm using fiber castell HB but it not as responsive because of the sharp tip. The back of the pencil is much much more responsive. I'll try to dull the lead tip so I can draw..

I'm using a ballpoint with spring mechanism on the other end, which was made by metal and because of the spring, the screen doesn't get pressed too much by the tip.
Oh so people are actually using REAL pencils? :laugh:
I would want a stylish but no idea whats good.
Real pencil is more comfortable in drawing.

I use real pencils too, architectural office easy to find one!
If you want to swipe down and still see the note sketch shortcut just do it with your nail
Stinky tip ha!!!

"Fun" Fact: If you connect a mouse to your ZU, the same shortcuts will be in the notification dropdown
whaoh did not know you can use a mouse.
Yeah, just get a USB OTG. They are cheap and can be bought almost everywhere. Once you have one, you can plug a mouse into it, a keyboard or both (wireless bluetooth dongle), memory sticks, external drives, floppy disk drive if you miss the 90s, or a PS3 controller. The short story is that you can plug almost everything, if not everything that is USB based to it.

Will have to try it out. I did manage to make my USB drive to work though. Did not realize a mouse and keyboard will work. I was also able to use the PS3 DS3 controller on the XZU playing Modern Combat 4 but the controls are not mapped correctly.
You guys know the shop presentation mode? Try
*#*#73556673#*#*
But be careful, that resets Xperia home to default settings, enables Bluetooth, sets the screen timeout to 30s, wallpaper to standard and the font size to normal.

Another one.
Swipe off screen from the bottom in between the back and home icons or in between the home and recent icon and you will activate Google Now more easily compared to long press on the home button.

That's a stock feature for devices with on-screen buttons. It actually reacts when you drag your finger from the home button and up.

Nice finds. I also found out that any widget can be made into a floating app like the default small apps.
1. Tap "Recent Apps" and then the up arrow.
2. Now tap "+" and choose "Widgets".
3. Choose any widget, name it, tap "OK" and the widget will show up in the list.
4. Just tap the widget in the list to show it as a floating app.
5. The cool thing is you can double-tap the title bar of the floating widget to maximize the widget or drag it to the right or bottom border to "dock" them so that you bring them out easily while using another app. You can do the docking with the default small apps too.
there is this really cool feature called '6 week wait'
when something goes wrong with your device you have to wait 6 weeks... or more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
