Very small, well made, free, good looking.
I like this one https://market.android.com/details?id=com.colinmcdonough.android.torch
Super simple, light weight and works well on Note.
I prefer the one in quick settings. Easy to get to and works well.

"Quick Settings" is an app in the market. You can have it reside in the notification panel, and open it from there. The top right of the window shows a flashlight icon. That can be either configured for the LED light, or the screen.
Why don't you use the flashlight widget on the phone by default? It has 3 settings and it's really convenient. I use it all the time.
I never seen Flash light widget by default on Note. At least not on my Note, there isn't one in list of Widgets to add by default.
Or is it hidden somewhere?

The one that came with my note is called 'Torch' in my widget list. But I am not using this widget anymore.
Thanks mate, i'm downloading now

Well this one isn't so difficult but I though I'd share for those that have not worked it out yet.
The LG Device Test "HiddenMenu" is apparently on all shipping phones and it's simply disabled via removing the menu entry.
To activate you need to create a shortcut to this hidden menu. You can do this with most replacement launchers and apps like BetterCut.
Example using LauncherPro (others will use a similar method):
Long press on home screen
Select Shortcuts
Select Activities
Scroll down to and expand com.lge.hiddenmenu
Select HiddenMenu (first entry)
Enter Shortcut name
Click on shortcut to launch
Hit 'Thanks' below
Also now Logcat app:
As above
Scroll down to and expand LG Debug
Select LG Debug (first entry)
Enter Shortcut name
Click on shortcut to launch
Hit 'Thanks' below
Enjoy the vast amount of options and tests in there, and be careful as some are destructive.

The brightess of the buttons was to bright for using the phone as a ebook reader at night the setting stays avyive even after exiting the test.

Sometimes it goes to homescreen and then the lockscreen, when it's been idle for some time.
It also happens with widget locker for me.

I experience the same issue, but even more annoying, it keeps displaying unread messages on the lockscreen until i reboot.
I'm using Handcent, guess the lockscreen gets the unread count from the original messaging app. If anyone know of a fix, please do share.
Hi alls. For those experiencing some nagging issues like lag or bugginess, are your phones rooted to Gingerbread or...? Thanks!
No, rooted stock froyo 2.2.2 in my case.
Gingerbread isn't out yet :-(

I don't think I get the former, but certainly dodgy behaviour immediately after boot.
I have started getting the message count now when the stock screen flashes up. It seems to count all messages, read or otherwise.
Perhaps somebody can start a confirmed & common bugs thread in General for a good collection of them.
Some more:
I can't use a long complex password to connect to a WiFi-G AP, but a simple password works just fine.
Music controls return to notification shade sometimes after a reboot, box in Music app is still unchecked.

No problems with the above and lock screen, I'm using Launcher pro and Pattern lock.
These are bugs i'm experiencing:
[Not realy a bug but a LG feature]Multiple exchange accounts disabled in LGemail app. Resolved by using the Android mail client and freezing LGemail (thanks for that ).
Camera brightness not listening to "auto" brightness, but uses the manual settings. Maybe it`s just me, but can somebody check the brightness of the camera app after setting the brightness to minimal and then check "Auto".
I'm really liking the new ROM, but I am curious what Halo does? Is it just a faster way to launch certain apps? The app says is optimized for Paranoid Android, but I assume you tweaked it to work well with AOIP. Help? Thanks.

Its reads notifications with you whitelist them and can open them in a floating window also you can add up to 6 apps and use them as a shortcut and they will open in a floating window. For example if you was on tube and you got a text you can text that person back without it interfering with your youtube activity.

Go to aoip settings and go to halo setting turn it on ypu can also customize it and when your done slide down in the notificarion tray you shoyld see a circle press it and it should be on your home screen. Now you need to double tap to drag it where you please.

Nightstand Bold (Possibly not in the play store anymore)
I use an app called Nightstand Bold. I can't seem to find it on playstore anymore - maybe the publisher removed it.
But it is probably the most beautiful nightstand clock app.
I did find this link

you can download an apk from here - but I'm not really sure about the website, as in is it safe or not....

Daydream, under Display options. If apps are designed with that purpose, you will there those that can get automatically activated when you put your phone on the charger or stand.
If you search for Daydream on Google play, you should be able to find apps that fulfill this.
As a simple example - Google's clock does it just fine. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.deskclock&hl=en.
i really prefer to find an app which allow me to choose which app will pop up when the phone is docked.... any suggestions ??

After you install, go under display settings to the screensaver and select ClockPlus. You can change settings like brightness if you tap the gear icon. And if you select MORE in the upper right part of the main screensaver screen, you can select when to launch the screensaver.
Did samsung make the split screen not resizable?
Before when I used multi window, I could resize the windows, switch their positions etc. But when I use it now, the screen splits into two and that's it. All the other features are taken away.
Is anyone else experiencing this or am I having a bug?
Works fine for me. Minimize the toolbar by tapping anywhere in one of the multi windows, then drag the circle up or down to resize.
Any way to switch it off?

It ain't there man. I tap inside the window, it gets selected as I see the blue square around it, but that circle that u drag to resize, alongside other controls are all missing.
I can't do anything but having two similar sized windows side by side.

Which variant do you have or maybe it's the ROM if not on stock? Here's what my N920T looks like.
Thanks for taking the time my man.
Thats what mine used to look like too up to about a week ago. Mine is N9208 stock. Not even rooted.
It would be strange if samsung decided to disable controls only for this model.
Mine is looking like this now

Have you used that package disabler app to disable any bloat? With me, it was disabling the flashbar service which caused this issue for me until I pinpointed it.

This app comes with Samsung's Good Lock. I see very few people talking about it and actually knowing that it does even exist.
Give it a go! It allows you to bascially navigate your phone fully without any navigation bar. The main reason to use it over other similar apps is that this one obviously does not use any accessibility services. Besides, it is FREE.
You have 6 customisable swipe actions.
The swipe area itself can also be heavily customised to your taste.
Try it.
The swipe actions available.

I have tried basically all the similar apps on the Play Store, this one works the best after a week of testing: very responsive, never fails to trigger and works like a charm with the curved glass while feeling very natural.
Granted if you are not keen on side gestures, then this will not work for you.
The big draw is that, as mentioned, it does not require any accessibility service.
I agree that performance is better. I'm going to use OH+ for a while now. I really like the Good Lock apps.

Same here! These are the tiny details that make you choose one ecosytem over another.
I would argue OH+'s implementation of gestures suits tall phones with very little bottom chin better. Its more ergonomic.

I agree it's implementation is a lot better. It feels more natural to swipe from the side of the screen, especially on a tall screen. So much easier then trying to reposition your thumb to the bottom of the screen

Good Lock, especially One Hand Operation +, will get a lot of use if it comes bundled with Samsung phones.
OnePlus already has its own solution. Samsung needs to bundle these and integrate it in Samsung Experience.

Put the transparency to 0 so that you can see the swipe area. Once you are happy with where you want to position it and the size etc, you adjust the transparency.
Note that you have to swipe from the very edge, just like you do for the Edge Panels.
Hope it works for you.

You can install Navigation Gestures from xda-devlopers. It has a feature to hide the navigation bar in a way that no other app does. Then just don't enable the gesture functions for the app, then in theory your navigation bar should be completely gone and you can just use One Hand Operation+ without any of the other gestures or the navigation bar.

A combo of Onehand Operation+ and Navigation Gestures. Good idea!
Update: It appears you have to enable Accessibility Services even just to hide the Navigation bar using the xda app.
Defeats the purpose, the only reason i recommended the samsung app is because it does not need any Accessibility Services and hence there is no hit to performance at all.
