Is there an app out there for writing code? Something similar to notepad++ would be pretty cool. I know there are ssh apps and basic note writing apps, but anything specifically for code writing? Thanks!

how about looking at the basic introduction to the android sdk and the eclipse plugin?
Sorry I wasn't very clear, I actually meant an app for writing code from on the device.. not necessarily code to be executed on the phone, but an app for writing code using the phone. I have a folding bluetooth keyboard with my dell streak, which makes typing very doable, so it would be cool if I could find an app to do that, though I haven't had much luck so far.. Thanks, Brian

CM6 includes vi.
Don't know about stock ROMs. Never ran one long enough to find out.
There are a few text editors on the market. EStrong File Explorer includes one that is on-par with plain-vanilla notepad.
Theoretically, you could port any pure-java IDE. But, performance is likely to be, shall we say, sketchy.
I remember using some decent pure-Java text editors several years ago. Might want to look into porting one of those if none of the Market editors is sufficient.
I know it might seem far fetched, but I thought it would be nice if there was any way to change values in games. I've had no luck finding any so far, and I'm not sure if the concept is possible.

Official Facebook app won't post a status/pic, rarely posts my comments.
Fast Pro has too many bugs
Flipster is half ass, doesn't show everything, SLOW
Friendcaster Pro wants to show me everyones games more than statuses and such.
Everyone uses something different, what's a quality Facebook app youd recommend??

Official Facebook app is fine on a modern device. It is quite big (~20MB) and uses a big chunk of RAM (~45-50MB) so on older devices, it can be quite painful to run. Simply go to facebook.com in your mobile browser, you get the same interface.
Flipster is the best of the alternatives, but the problem with the alternatives is that 1) if you post from it (and this is anything but the website or the official app), Facebook doesn't share your status with all your friends. It's posted to your Timeline, but almost nobody will see it. And 2) it won't show you all your friends' statuses and photos. Their game activity will always show up, though, as well as anything sponsored.
Most likely the fastest is TweetDeck, or maybe TweakDeck (the former, only... tweaked). The interface looks like straight up ass, but it's fast, even on crappy phones. Tested and verified on Samsung Acclaim (800MHz ARMv6, 160MB RAM, ~20MB app install space, Froyo).
Tried "Scope"? It's an all-in-one social app.

Hi guys!
I got my Note yesterday and after I've upgrade it to the new Android version I've got the new SNote as well and I'm not a fan! My palm is accidentally zooming when I rest it against the screen in a way the previous one didn't and the buttons at the top bar was much more intuitive to me.
Any other with the same problem and maybe a solution? I am open to new better apps as well, I've tried LectureNotes but as an engineering student I'm really in to the SNote shape/function/search the web functionality and I have not seen any app that's anywhere near SNote considering that.
Thanks in advice!

You can disable hand writing so only the s pen is activated, the button can be located at the lower right side of the screen just right of the add page button. The symbol is a hand. Hope this help

Thanks! That was the first thing I did, but the zoom is still active at least when the pen isn't near (14mm/~1 inch or what it might be) and in reality I don't have the pen that close to the screen at all times. The strange thing is that I didn't have these problems with the previous model, maybe they changed it in some way when they added the "pinch to delete page" functionality? And besides I liked the little arrow that completely minimized the toolbar and gave me a blank screen to write on which have now mysteriously disappeared.
I think there is an apk file with the previous version somewhere but even though I've been Google it for the last hour I can't find one! Anyone who has it on their tablet?

Hats the new Snote app. I liked the fact that the menus would hide to increase size of the page for writing, and switching from pen to eraser was jn one place on the right. All gone.

hi, i gt the same problem, eng student too, apparently alot of users have same problem, its been around before we got the update in uk, since aug 2012 as far as i know, i tried many apps, paperus might be a gd one for us but it aint as good as s note, i emailed samsung and i think if alot of users does so something might happen to improve it, or if any devs could jus take the zooming option out,
would you mind emailing samsung so that they could get a massive user feed back.

Exactly, to me the ideal is to have a blank piece of paper and be able to put the tools needed (maybe different pens and the function/shape thing) as floating boxes just like you do at CAD programs etc. SNote got just that, and to be honest SNote was a huge part of why I bought this tablet in the first place. Now it's kinda useless though...

I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one having troubles or disliking the new SNote, the more that have problems the faster a solution will appear I hope. I have actually only tested LN besides SNote, mostly because LN is great in any way but SNote it isn't. It doesn't have the mathematical function recognizer nor the shape recognizer and just doesn't seems to work as well with the rest of the system. Like the "screenshot, drag and drop" that works like a charm in SNote where I can look something up at Wolfram and paste it to my notes. It does have some advantages over SNote though, I feel the pure writing is better on LN and it have for example the really simple but so useful feature of "select part/text and move it", more easy to customize background etc.
Not at all! I thought of the same thing myself, I just wanted to check if I was the only one having this problems. But the easiest and by far fastest way to deal with it would of course be if anyone had an Old SNote apk file to install. Adding a "lock zoom and pan" option won't solve the problem with the whole new version suck, and I think getting them to get back to previous versions will be difficult.

That's actually not a bug I think, you can adjust the screen brightness in many apps individually. I'm not quite sure where in the new SNote though..
Sent from my GT-N8010 using xda app-developers app
I got a reply from Samsung Sweden today where they apologized and told me that I, for a cost, could get the previous SNote version if I got the tablet to a service center. On one hand I think it's great that they actually give the customers the option of having the previous version back but on the other I think it's rubbish having to pay for it when it it because the new one is working like ****. There might be a chance that the downgrade will just be a couple of bucks but I'm afraid it won't.
I'm going to reply to Samsung once again, this time with a movie I've made that illustrates the problem with the shape and math identifier. To be continued..

This is obviously a solution however to me this isn't an option since I think everything from the general flow to the multiscreen capabilities is that much better than on ICS and even though SNote is a big part of this tablet LectureNotes is not far behind. But don't get me wrong, I wanna have both of them working!
I made a simple video that illustrates the problem with the shape and math identifier, even though that's just a small bit of the problem with the new SNote feel free to use it for example in contact with Samsung!

Thanks for your answer!
No it's not, I've got 4.1.1 and have the version 5r16958FV03 so it's not even close. However, I don't think everyone's got these strange problems and I don't have them all the time either. But it's way too often to be acceptable, especially since the precious one didn't have any problems what so ever (as far as I could tell).
Have you noticed any other bugs or are your version of SNote a stable functional one?
Another thing I noticed now when I looked up the version of SNote is that I have not one but two "programs" named SNote, the main one of 8.8MB and another one of about a quarter of a MB. Is it possible that the smaller one is the upgrade? I couldn't disable it in any way unfortunately, and when I forced it to stop nothing happened in SNote but that might be because it started up again.

New thread further down the list! SWEET!
I got this tablet for school, trying to go paperless. I came from TF-101, now my wife's, so I know how things work. My question is, what is the best most stable Rom for this device? I like customizable roms but stability is a must. Any ideas out there?
I tired Omega but had problems connecting to my schools wifi, we have to use a third party app to connect, went back to stock and no problems.
Also, whats the best keyboard and word document for this bad [email protected]# machine?
pbaldw10
Unfortunately there is no specific one rom.. U will have to try a few roms and see what fits the best.
Omega rom has been the best for me, but very slow with updates..
Keyboard - best is the default one but lacks spell check.( there is a mod available in this forum) . I use swiftkey for typing and default for handwriting..
Word document -i like officesuite pro but Many like polaris , etc are good too

Im starting to think just leave well enough alone. I love it so far and each day I find something new. Tried Omega and collection v6. Stock seems to be the best so far.
Any ideas on dock able keyboards and can I use a mouse with this. Im thinking full laptop replacement.
S- pen is nice, but sometimes you just have to type.
Ps
Odin is awesome, its like flahing roms and restoring is completely encouraged.
A word app you might want to give a try is CloudOn, a free app that is as close as makes no difference a full MS word and Excel for your tablet. It's not perfect and it lags a bit (at least here in Europe, maybe it's because it's webbased and the servers are in the US) but it has the advantages that all equations, tables, pi pictures, figures and so on you have in your document is displayed properly.

First off congratulations on the note 10.1 !. Personally I would stick with stock, maybe root it, debloat it and enjoy. There are a lot of great roms out there but there are a lot that suffer from weird quirks and glitches, Also I would advise against using any custom kernels or overclocking as they have a tenancy of causing crashes in my experience

I'll second CloudOn, and also second the lagging. If you need to do some serious work in Excel, I don't thing it can be beat. Else you can usually find me in Google docs for first stays of papers, notes and things like that.
As for keyboards, I picked up a Microsoft wedge bluetooth keyboard and couldn't be happier. I found a new in box item on eBay for $45 shipped, in stores I think they are closer to the 60-70 range.

+1 to Papyrus.
As I just got this tablet a few days ago, still undecided whether I want to keep it or not, the smaller development kinda surprised me.
If you're using it to replace paper for school, you're best off with a rooted stock rom so you can do multiwindow everything but keep everything stable. Also, lecture notes + dropbox => golden notes.

You missed my first post, "the best rom is already on it".
Correct. The standard firmware is very stable.
I use lecturenotes to take handwritten notes it also allows you (with the extra plugins) to record the audio while you make your notes. You can even record the audio plus a video of the notes so you can play it back after.
Another small recommendation, if you like mind maps simpleminds is great.
