Hinxnz, am using cm11 by shantur. Just changed the fast charge settings using root explorer. It was set to 2 and i changed it to 1. So now fast charge with everything?

Yes it should do. If you want to keep the change after reboot, flash the init.d script in the second link I posted previously.

I cant move any app to SD. The option to move dont show on Settings - Applications. I've tried App2SD and other apps and nothing works.

Anyone knows how to fix it?

Thanks

I can suggest to make an ext4 partition on SD card...than, using Mount2SD, you can automatically move on sd: apps, system apps, libs, data, dalvik, media.

You have to:
- save all your sd card data
- reboot in recovery mode
- if you use 4ext recovery, go to Tools and make an ext partition (you can follow steps here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2125513)
- reboot
- install Mount2sd...go to Settings...install the script
- reboot
- done!

NOTE: I have 32gb sd card, with 4gb allocated in ext4 and 1 gb in swap...everything works good

Not in all roms...for example ROMs compiled by flemmard and sultanxda have it.
But not all apps are movable, so I think that the creation of an ext partition on SD is better solution than others.

I have 90 apps in my phone and with the paid version of Link2SD (you can put in the sd-ext partition even the app data) I have 260MB free, and I haven't linked all the apps, just the ones with bigger data.

Awesome :D

one thing I liked about HALO was that you could pin apps to open in floating mode even when there's no notification.

I am missing this ability in HOVER, for instance, I am looking at a browser an would like to open whatsapp to send a message but without the hassle of changing apps.
@Sajito do you know the name of the activity that opens an app in floating mode? I though that maybe a shortcut to a button (like double tap menu button) of this activity could work. I currently have double tap menu to open whatsapp, but I would like to set another button to open in floating mode.

Is there a way to do it?

Cheers!!!

I don't know about the activity, but you can just long press the notification or the app in multitasking and press "Floating Mode".

Yes, that I know, but I ment when there is no notification or hover, just when I want to open one app directly in floating mode.

You can try with Pie function, in Carbon menù.
Personally I don't like it too much, but in your case it could be the solution!

You don't need a notification. Just longpress on your home button for multitasking and long press on whatever app you want in floating mode, then press on Floating Mode.

Run logcat with adb and launch floating mode app to see the activity name.
Also there might be an app out there that shows you all the activities from apps to create a shortcut, Nova launcher has this feature.

Edit: The app "xShortcut" linked below might be of help, the description says you can capture activities and create shortcuts for them.
