Which SPen apps do you want to see? - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps

Hi people,
which SPen Apps are you missing and what cool things can we make with it?
Post your ideas, and I will look, what I can do
Apps I will do:
S-Calendar - A Calendar with Doodles and Text 40% done
S-Memo Widget - For every Launcher
-emptynick

A writable calendar/agenda, where you can either write with kbd or doodle with s-pen. You could start with a month view, click a day and have it zoom at full display area. Or, you could also scribble on the month view, e.g, to circle a group of days or add arrows, footnotes and the so.
And, it should also sync with Google services!
It would be a top killer app.

could be a little problem, but I think I got a little approach, and will try if it works
-Christoph
Edit: anyone got a HTC Flyer? I think there are some nice sense-apps we can try to clone

Thank YOU!
Sketches could be synced to other than google calendar, maybe as one or more files attached to a gmail message sent to self!

I thought about Flickr, just upload the picture
But after that you couldnt edit the text...
Edit: Doodles to Flickr, Text in the normal calendar could be a option.

I would like to write a check list or other list with the pen and directly transfer them to SpringPad. When the SPen SDK is out I will try to write an app for that.

Pressure sensitive wouldnt work - hardware doesnt support that I think.
And for a nice wacom tablet its much to inaccurate

Yes it does support pressure sensitive ( you can try it on smemo). About the accurate, it up to the user

How many pressure levels does the S-Pen have? 2?

The pressure levels are 128 which is enough for the purpose of the device,if you feel it only has 2 and that its not accurate enough download "multitouch Visualizer 2" from the market and have a play.
The wacom app for PC is a great idea by the way

i would like to see an app that can annotate an office application (word, excel, pp) inside the documents itself, and not only taking a snap and then annotate...
where u can choose the kbd or the pen, and save it directly in .doc .xls or wotever

I'd like an app that lets you connect your phone to your PC and use your SPen as a graphical pen in photoshop etc.
I know things like Gmote are out there, but they dont report pressure sensitivity.
A specific drawing tool would be amazing.

Polaris Office app

I feel I should tell people who do a lot of word, ppt, excel that the Polaris Office app that comes preinstalled on TF is much SUPERIOR to quickoffice hd pro that supposedly is designed for tablets. The words are mixed up and ppt sides that I use in my word documents don't show up clearly on quickoffice, but they run perfectly fine on Polaris, so don't rush into buying an office suite for your TF, because Polaris gets the job done well.
Thanks for passing that info on. One reason I want a TF over the Acer or Xoom is because it comes with that software.
hi there. have you guys have any idea how to insert an image (eg from my gallery) into an excel spreadsheet in the said app? There dont seem to be any option to do that. I even searched the Polaris website for help, but to no avail.
For everyone interested, I just this morning updated my Office Suite comparison over in the XOOM forum to include Polaris Office (PowerPoint only for now). The link is in my signature. I will update the Word and Excel comparison soon.
does Polaris office do multi-worksheet formulas/lookups in Excel?

That's a big negatory. All the pages are there but calcs between them do not work. Same issue with DTG. I have not tried quickoffice yet so I do not know if this feature works with it.
To confirm I'm talking about gdocs that I pull down, I have not created a spreadsheet from scratch to try the calc across sheets with PO.

Well that sucks...it's a pretty important feature.
I'm using it for work and it does work well. I wish you could create and save to dropbox folders then have them sync properly. Polaris needs to write to the dropbox api or dropbox needs to add support for file moves and creation to android.
I admit that I am not the best speller. Thus I wish there was spell and grammar check.

Open the document, go into Edit mode and then double-tap into the text. You'll see something like two pins enclosing selected text. Use the "Ribbon" to copy/cut/paste.

Polaris would be great if I was able to paste text into the app that was copied from other apps. It looks as though this was possible prior to 3.1, but is broken now. That's a pretty big requirement for me.

Polaris is terrible if you use Google Docs.
QuickOffice is the ONLY application that will let you freely edit Google Doc spreadsheets as if you were on a PC.
Otherwise Polaris is a nice app, if you don't use Google Docs. At all.

[Q] Is there an app like htc notes for the transformer

Hi! Im new to this forum and also to the transformer. I bought it because its a really cool devise and I plan to use it to take notes during classes and so on. It works fine for this, except right now im studying the phonetic alphabet (the swedish one) and polaris office does not have any of the symbols i need. Therefore im in need of an app that can handle bot typing on the keyboard and handwriting with a stylus pen, kinda like the one on HTC Flyer.
Is there an app that can do this? Or is it possible to maybe get the htc notes app for the transformer? it does not have to work flawless, but i want to be able to add handwritten notes to the ones i type.
Thanks!
Not sure about different 'Notes' apps, there are quite a few to choose from on the market but I'd probably recommend 'Thumb Keyboard'. Apart from it being the best thing since slice bread with regards to typing it also has all the different characters and keysets that you'd ever need and is fully customisable.
There is...I can't recall the name but you can write and type on a note. it shrinks your writing to fit on a line too... pretty cool.
Will check when I get home.

Freenote does this, I love it Perfect for class. Also, SwiftKey for Tablets is my keyboard recommendation - it has a split keyboard option for thumb typing as well, plus predictive text.

Does Beautiful Notes let you take notes using a stylus as well? Looks like a really well put together app, just curious about that
You can try to port Myscript Notes Mobile from the Lenovo Ideapad.

It converts your stylus notes in normal typed text.

maybe my mediocre english got you all confused. What im looking for is an app that can handle, or at least save files as, .doc files that has an option for handwriting aswell as typing with the keyboard. Kinda like polaris office, but with built in handwriting.
Thanks again
Latest update of Evernote came with a fairly decent Skitch integration. Might be worth a look.

I unfortunately just noticed this today as well, actually. I was hoping that maybe I could figure out a way to export Freenotes into .pdf format. Either way, will keep an eye out for what you're looking for and will keep watching this thread. I think this concept for Android is sort of ongoing development, so hopefully it'll take off soon!

I downloadet that application two days ago but unfortunatly its not really what im looking for. Skitch might work for drawing, but not really for writing. I want an app that is more like Word or Polaris office, but with handwriting also.

RepliGo Reader
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.cerience.reader.app&feature=search_result
could possibly try something like hanwang. Its a keyboard replacement that either lets you type, or write, and it auto converts it to typed text.
A few tips, the last version i tried defaulted to Chinese, change it in the settings.
and write in cursive, even if its sloppy as mess its more accurate, amazingly accurate! than regular script writing.
Hanwang!!
Antipaper - Good for handwriting but does no recognition.
I export to Evernote and store my notes there. Evernote does recognition (not conversion) and lets me search my hand written notes.

best pdf reader in market

So i want to know what is the best pdf reader in market. One feature I really want is one available on the i pad. This feature is where you can make a 3 by 3 matrix for a total of 9 pages. The reason I want this i have college textbooks on my kfire and when I want to locate something fast I can scroll 9 pages at a time instead of one. Anyone know of such an app?
I use EzPDF Reader, and its really cool because if you click on 'RECENT' it allows you to see all your documents like in iBooks, then open a specific document and click on Thumbnail view,
Hope it helps,

App for reading and writing/highlighting in PDFs?

Hi!
One of the main reason I bought this particular tablet was to easily read and highlight in PDFs when I study. Since it got this wonderful pen I thought it would be simple to use fingers for zoom/pan etc and the pen to highlight but I've not found any app with that functionality. Of course I can go in a menu and select highlight but I want to use the stylus as an "always on highlight" marker.
ezPDF seems to do the trick but I can't tell, anyone who tried it and can tell if it works well or have any other recommendations?
Thanks in advance!

I am looking for the same. I have to read and highlight many pdf documents. I have tried Officesuite pro, no luck, and Polaris, no luck. Adobe reader lets me highlight but its clumsy and highlighted text isn't shown if I open the pdf in another program afterwards.

I also use ezPDF. Great app.
So, I've tired ezPDF but I can't get the main function I requested to work. I can annotate and highlight, sure. But the program doesn't tell the difference between my finger and the pen so I can't use the pen as a constant highlighter and the finger to navigate through the pages. Can this be done using the application? This is critical, I have apps to view and annotate in PDFs that are at least as good as ezPDF, but none with that functionality.

I have purchased many pdf reader/editors... ezpdf, repligo, moon pdf, iannotate and so on..
The reason - I spent most of the time reading and editing pdf...
I also need to edit a lot of pdf which are scanned documents as pictures.. Ezpdf does the job best becoz of pre rendering the pages...
Over the years ezpdf has come on top.
However u cannot get the option of fully disabiling finger touch and use only stylus in any of the good pdf readers...
But the good thing is that when you use stylus, palm rejection works. The important thing is that you have to make sure the stylus is close to the screen before you rest the palm on the screen...
This works well for me... today I spent about 7 hours doing edits, the way in mentioned above and no issues..
They should work with lecturenotes developer. Lecturenotes allow making annotations using stylus while at the same time finger scrolls and controls zooming.

Thanks for your post! Well I'm starting to think that you are right, there is no app that allows me to use the pen as an always active highlighter.
I use LectureNotes for everything but pure books in pdf because I think it's as close to perfection as a note taking app could be. But import and handle 1000p PDFs is a no go and when flipping page is the main activity there are a lot better apps. At all lecture PDFs (10-20p) that we get LectureNotes is great, it allows you to mark and annotate in the PDF as well as easily inserting a page between if you need more space for notes.
What I want though, isn't just palm rejection. I still want to be able to switch page with my fingers. I want the program do treat my fingers and pens differently though, just like I sit with a book in one hand and a highlighter in the other when reading course literature I want to sit with my tablet in one hand and my stylus in the other. But the more programs I try, the less I think this is possible.

I totally agree, make the insertion and more importantly handling when switching pages of large PDFs more easy on LectureNotes and you got exactly what I'm looking for. Of course, keeping the bookmarks and be able to use them in a simple way is important as well. And it needs a little "read mode", because when I have one finger pan enabled I cannot rest my palm on the screen without accidently pan the page and I can't get the page flipping as smooth as every PDF reader. You know the, swipe your finger over the screen and it's getting to the next or previous page.

I wrote to the developers of both iAnnotate and ezPDF to recommend a fuller incorporation of the S-pen in annotating PDFs. Would love to see LectureNotes style ability to use the stylus to write and the finger to scroll at the same time. (Or perhaps have LectureNotes handle PDFs as more than bitmaps!). The folks from iAnnotate said they would consider it, so perhaps if more people write in and suggest it, they'll see that there is a good market for this.

Great initiative! Considering the amount of Note devices both in the phone as well as the tablet versions samsung has sold and probably will be selling there should be plenty of potential users for such an app. But to me, since most of my PDFs are for a specific class that I have notes for as well having all together in LectureNotes would of course be the best solution even if I think such features in LectureNotes isn't coming any time soon.

Adobe reader 10.4.2 allows reading and highlighting with pen it also has freehand drawing, adding text, text striking and note insertion along with other features. Tested with my note 10.1 and works great.
ezPDF works fine for me, and I do use it everyday for annotating my academic PDFs. I'm surprised how awesome it works for highlighting (are yo umaybe doing something wrong?), and I've gotten really quick at it. I have set the option to recognize palm in the settings. You can still change pages (or visualized column or whatever) either with the page button or with two fingers (holding the stylus, I find tapping on the next page button is the quickest). I often annotate and I love the possibility of freehand writing (somehow, it makes me feel like my PDFs are scanned versions of printed copies I've written on!), and for this I always use the pen (and not the pencil).
The only complaint I might have is that it takes a second to save the annotations when you change a tool, but that's fine for me.
Let me know if you need any other info!
Surely this isn't impossible, or even difficult for the devs of any pdf reader to include?
Obviously I am not a developer so I am guessing at this, palm recognition etc measure the surface area/pixels/electrical connections made simultaneously? If I am broadly correct then is it not possible to have settings that recognise palms( lets say 500 pixels or more) , fingertips(less than 50 but greater than 10 pixels) and stylus, with its considerably smaller surface area, as say 10 pixels or less?
Am I being very naive?

Polaris Office & PDF 'markups'

I highlight and underline, etc alot on pdf's. The Note works well for this while in Polaris but when I go to print, those annotations don't print - only the original pdf.
Is there a solution to this? (using PrinterShare premium for printing btw. It is set to print color.
Any other apps that do work?
Thanks
Hope this helps
You could acomplish this, more or less, with S Note. You can import PDFs, they are basically treated as multiple page-size images, then annotate them as normal (draw on the "picture"/page), and then export the note as a PDF. The exported PDF will include the annotations you made, printing that should give you the desired effect.
On a side note, I use Kno Textbooks for the same thing you are using Polaris for; I mention this to let you know that it will not help you in any way

Looks good on the screen using the default highlighter but when printed it only prints a green line, no text is legible. It looks redacted (but in green). I've also adjusted the opacity of the highlighter and tried yellow but it didn't help. I am using printershare premium. does it yours print appropriately?

If you're using ezPDF and you still have that problem, flatten you annotations.. you do that by selecting them and then press 'flatten'.
But ezPDF works fine here, without the flatten.
Polaris could have the problem because it adds the annotations as 'comments', thus only viewable if comments are turned on, something not standard when printing.

kno looks promising but I don't have a way to export to pdf (I am using the play store version if it makes a difference). Does it require the embedded version (playing with a 2014 Note 10.1 which doesn't have it)?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I didn't say use Kno, or export from Kno.
I said: Import pdfs into S Note, anotate them there, and export (from S Note) as pdf.
Hope that helps.

it's better to use another app such as Officesuite
