While the Google Play Store is home to a great many of apps for your Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 device, it doesn’t let you install every app that is available until you root your device. One of the apps you cannot install without root access is the Full!screen app. With Full!screen, you can win back the space that is used by your on-screen navigation buttons. By removing those navigation buttons, you are effectively using the full screen on your Note 10.1 again.

REQUIREMENTS
