[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IAmJJH:
A few more Edge Panel ideas

A lot of the ideas I read in this thread so far sound pretty cool. Here are a few others that I don't remember seeing yet.

Before listing a few ideas below, another idea that spans all of the panel ideas would be to make them customizable in terms of font, label color, background image (including basic editing tools like % opacity, etc).

Gallery Panel:

* It would be nice to have something like the Express Me feature that works when NOT on the lock screen. It would be nice to have a panel that just displays an image you select.

* It would be nice to have the edge panel image scroll back and forth the way the Express Me images does when one of the effects (Diamonds, Triangles, etc.) is used. In Express Me, the image scrolling back and forth feature only works if you superimpose one of those effects (Diamond, Triangles, etc), and then the image blurs out when you scroll it. If you don't use one of those effects, the Express Me image is static.

* Ideally this would have some basic editing features, such as a "collage" feature (to let you put several images onto the same edge panel), "fade edges" feature (even better if you can select which edge of the image to fade out, such as if you want the image to fade into the next one below or above it), "album" feature (where you can have it periodically switch images at pre-set intervals), etc.

* I'm shocked that Samsung didn't already build this in, to have Express Me work even when NOT on the lock screen, and to have the feature where the image scrolls/slides left and right work without having to superimpose one of those effects (Diamonds, Triangles, etc).

Favorite Apps Panel with Customizable Icons:

* I really dislike that I can customize (replace) the default icons on the home screens and the dock (using Go Launcher EX) but CANNOT customize the default icons on the Edge panel. When using the Favorite Apps panel, all the icons are the default icons, and different from every home screen or dock on the rest of the phone.

* The icons in the folders in the Favorite Apps panel should also be editable in terms of size, labels, etc.

Additional Favorite Apps Panels:

* If someone developed a new Favorite Apps panel, and allow it to be downloaded and installed multiple separate times, then each person can have as many Favorite Apps panels as they choose, up to the maximum number of panels allowed.

No Limit to Number of Edge Panels

* Speaking of the max number of panels allowed, if there was a way around this, so you can have more than 7 Edge panels, that would be cool. Sure, some may argue that who would need more than 7 or whatever number, or that it may become an inefficient clutter that you have to scroll through an infinite number of panels to find the one you want, etc., but to each his/her own. I'm sure some users would find great use of having more than 7 panels, and not feel it is inefficient or cluttered.

Shortcuts Panel

* It would be nice to be able to put short cuts to specific individual files onto the panel the way we can with apps on the Favorite Apps panels. If we could directly open a specific image, or specific document, etc., it would be extremely useful.

* This should have the ability to create folders as well, similarly to the Favorite Apps panel.

Contacts Panel with Customizable "Icons" and with buttons that give access to the full contact (the one available with the launch of the Note Edge will only call the number associated with the contact; you can't text, or Skype, or email, or get to the address, etc).

* It would be nice if the contacts could show their associated photo or image, instead of just the name.

* It would be nice if the name can be edited (so it doesn't list the entire name if you don't want it to) or hidden (so it only shows the photo).

24-Hour "Night" Clock

* Make a "Night" Clock that can be set to be on all the time, and not limited to a 12-hour time span each day.

* I can't understand why Samsung would force a 12-hour time limit on us. Sure, having it on all the time uses more battery power, but it should have been a feature made available, and we can set it to a shorter time interval IF WE CHOOSE.
