Drag and Drop Multi-window? - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

I thought you were able to drag and drop images and text between windows when in splitscreen. Is this not possible? I've tried both images and text with no success. Maybe I just don't know the way you're supposed to do it. Anyone use this feature and if so, could you enlighten me please? It would be really cool!

Only certain apps can. For example
Gallery and Messages.
Yoiu can drag a photo into messages and send a MMS.

Does it seem to only be Samsung apps? I was trying to go from Samsung internet to OneNote. No dice.

I believe it might only be Samsung apps. I think some non Samsung ones should but only if they used Samsung's SDK. If I remember correctly what is needed is in there. I have not tried any note apps.

I create app pair with My Files + My Files .Then use them to drag and drop files or images in split screen mode.

[REQ] Captivate Contacts app

I've been trying to install the apk, but it force closes anytime you try to access the contacts app. I like the one from the Captivate because you can swipe the contact name right to call, and left to message directly. I don't like the Fascinates, which shows the text/call buttons when you swipe the contact to the right.
Any ideas out there?
I would also love to have this
I have not seen this, does anyone have a video or a link to a video on the Captivates contacts app?

It works like when you are in the fascinates messaging app. Swipe your finger right on a messaging thread and it place a call, left and it opens a message. On the vibrant it will do this in the contacts app.
Bump.........
The stock contacts app will do this also. Swiping right brings up an envelope and phone for their respective uses.

We're aware but that's not what we want. I want like the Captivate and Vibrant where I swipe right and it places a call and left opens a message.

Correct, this is the functionality I'm looking for. The contacts app on the fascinate is also a nice touch, but its an extra click. I know it may sound picky, but hey, thats why we mod our phones!
This would be awesome, that's one feature I liked about the vibrant.

I assume the one you tried (and kept FCing) was the deodexed version?

I tried taking the Contacts.apk directly from the Vibrant system dump and it didn't do anything but FC so I was thinking maybe I need the odex file also or there was more work to be done to get it running that was beyond my knowledge.
I think the reason behind the FC is because of the missing parameter for the backup assistant which verizon only offers i think. (you need subscription for this)
The swipe action works in the text message thread. Go to your text messages and swipe left or right on a name then it will either go call or text, respective direction.

Yeah we already established that. Looking for that functionality in the contacts app.

It was a system dump from the i9000, I also tried the one from the Vibrant like kvaughan did. I haven't been able to find the Contacts.apk from a Captivate dump, I'm actually on vacation this week and I havent been in front of my computer too much to do some real research
OK, I've attached the Contacts.apk and ContactsProvider.apk from the deodexing of the last official (i.e. non-Froyo) Captivate ROM.
I haven't tried it (and am not quite sure what ContactsProvider *does*), so test at your own risk.
I'll take a look at implementing that & see how it goes.
Edit: The slide to call or message is a nice feature. The only issue is that the settings for Contacts.apk has SIM & ATT features. When tapping a contact on the home screen, instead of coming up like a message box (comic style), it just pops up without much kick...
Now Im new to the programing part of all this so correct me if im completely off base or if it would be to difficult. Since the feature does work in the fascinates text messaging. Would it be possible to locate the part of the code in there and implement it into the contacts. I'm not doubting that it would be extremely complex but since it is already on the fascinate it theoretically would work if that part of code could be transfered into the contacts file correct?
For some god-awful reason the Captivate Contacts.apk is dependent on the Yahoo! Stock Widget.
>_>
So you'll need at least that.
No, just use the Mesmerize Contacts. Works great on either DI01 or DJ05.

I installed GoSMS just for that. When someone sends me a picture I want to save, I go open the message in GoSMS and save it there. It's not elegant (or even logical), but it works.

Just take any MP3 you want and drop it in the Ringtones folder. Also, check out Zedge. Tons of ringtones for free from there, and a great selection of good stuff.

I'm pretty sure you're going to need root to use that method.
No root required to disable apps. However, to remove them, then the phone needs to be rooted.

Subject line of the thread linked says Root not required, but sure!
Tried it out just now, thanks for linking it @blkghost22, I've been trying to find a way to disable certain things and this did it!
Stock Music app sometimes comes up when I connect my phone to the car via Bluetooth, and there wasn't any easy way to disable it
I also recommend going to Filter, typing ATT, and disabled all that crap too - I've done everything except Knox, Remote Support, and Usage manager.... someone needs to come up with a safe list of apps to disable to debloat this device, it would be very helpful!
Will this let me disable stuff like the built in browser? Because there are some aid that the phone just won't let you disable which I find really dumb.

It should, I don't know the title of it from an APK or package standpoint (I know it's called Internet, but I can't find it searching right now), but once you find it, you can disable it
EDIT - SBrowser is the name of it

Okay, I can't read. I'm sending thanks X 2 to Charlotte, NC.
I'm at 55 apps disabled so far, and I don't think I'm being all that aggressive with disabling TW / Samsung / ATT features..... Anyone know of a good safe list for this phone yet where we can really speed this thing up? Not like it really needs it, but there's lots of hidden crap on it running we know about but haven't been able to disable previously

You mind sharing what you've disabled? I've done a lot manually. Haven't gotten a chance to test out the above program but I don't think I got anywhere near 55...

Honestly, and I appreciate you looking to me for advice, I don't think I'm the best one to go off of, I know that nothing I've disabled was going to crash my phone, but it's all that TW / Samsung / ATT features like I was saying - the program allows you to filter by text used, even if in the middle of a package name, and that helped a few times tracking down some odd APKs
I read on Forbes that the S6 has 56 apps of bloatware on it, and I'm at 55 disabled apps, with a lot of TW / Samsung / ATT features still running, so most likely that was a list of what they could see from the app drawer or something....
Nothing from me. Just wanted to see if people actually tried it. If it worked then go thank the dev or programmer of that debloating app.

Samsung Notes problem

Hi, I've been having problems with Samsung Notes sharing, I was wondering if anyone knew where the actual notes are located so that when I can't share one to my compuer (which I never can) I can at least grab a copy from there. I tried looking but I couldn't find anything
Did you know that you can hold the s-pen button, double tap on the screen(unlocked), and it will open a new blank note? I have disabled the auto open air menu because of that, its so handy
To answer your question.. no clue.

The only thing you can do is share notes in PDF format to, say, your Dropbox account and view them from there. The notes directory cannot be accessed without root, and even then I'm not sure there is any PC app that can read the format.
I know it's not ideal, but you do a screen capture and then transfer the picture/screen capture

The problem happens exactly when I press on PDF, even sharking the Image would be fine for me but I can do neither. If I try to share the pdf it gets stuck in an infinite loading screen. Same with image. If I try text only then nothing happens. Only thing I can do is sdoc which well isn't really very useful and I've noticed that if I try to open some of them I get a "corrupted" message

Message Chat heads

Ok so both me and girlfriend have the note 9 on sprint, when she gets a text she gets the pop up preview and also a chat head. How do you find that option to turn it on. I've checked both settings and are identical but I can't get the chat heads on the messages but hers do. Can someone help me find that feature.?

Hi, enable edge lighting for the messaging app. When new message arrived, try to pull down the notification. Then it will open the messaging app in a pop-up window, after that you may minimize the window into chat head.
This?
