S pen functionality with custom roms - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
I am considering purchasing this tablet and had a quick question that i couldn't find the answer to. If you flash this tablet with a custom rom will it loose its s-pen functionality. (Pressure sensitivity for example)
Thanks

Android 4 and greater has native support for the pen including the pressure.
Pen works properly in the preview CM10

Thanks for the response, sounds great!

Also, future versions of Android will natively support multiwindow multitasking so all apps will have that capability not just a limited few like today.

However you would lose all of the apps that are optimized for it (due to the TouchWiz removal), correct? Is that even a big deal? I seem to be reading that they're bad anyway.

S Pen app reviews

I would like to get everyone's reviews on the various apps available to be used with the s pen.
S note - Great - pen operation is very smooth indeed under ICS - seems better than I remember.
Seems pretty easy to add images etc -so it is worth upgrading to this IF you use these apps alot - if you don't then stick with ICS Stunner or similar.
My story - not sure really - is it me or does it only work to other people with notes? I can't send things to anyone?

I fell in love with Touchscreen Tune for Note.
Allows you to calibrate spen offsets for deadly accurate use. Can't put my spen down now
Lecturenotes is a killer imho...
I find the s apps a little clumsy for sketching but lecturenotes has a really nice pencil sketch kinda feel (quill is great too on this front) and gives amazing customization and allows for image import and the like... Well worth the price and works with the aosp roms just as nice
Just my 2 cents as I spent a lot of time looking for the right app for me

[GET]Samsung S-Note Official ICS App Apk + S-Memo

Hi Guys!
I Googled for days to find the S-Note APK for my CM9 phone but could not find it. I decided to switch to KingDroid and i extracted the APK.
However i do not know if this works on non-touchwiz roms, try it out to find out.
If anyone is interested in S-Memo reply here and i will upload that one as well.
I tried it out on my Samsung Galaxy S2 aswell running official ICS, it works perfectly however the app is created for Note screen size and there is screensize issues on Galaxy S2.
Enjoy Guys!
Code:
https://hotfile.com/dl/156977480/a2e51bf/com.sec.android.app.snotebook.apk.html
This requires TouchWiz, unfortunately.
Well then i hope it helps someone might even work on official gb

Have you fixed the screen size problem?Can you post the memo as well? =) thx~~~
how to install this?
if only someone can mod the SNote resolution from 1280x800 to 1280x720 to suit the Galaxy S3, it will be prefect.
S-Note needs TW framework, so it'll run only on stock-based ROMs, but, luckily there's few alternatives which are imho much better, esp. freenote and papyrus (infinite canvass size)

Can anyone upload default Photo Editor from stock ICS?
I've used those... Don't see how their better...

Not sure if you're asking or disagreeing, but both apps are more useful for me when it comes to making longer notes because freenote has a mode when handwritten letters are scaled down and put neatly at the top of page line after line, papyrus has unlimited scalable canvass which performs similar function - I'm able to fit much more text on the screen, compared to S-note, where I'm limited by the actual screen size

my s memo will not work on my note running Official ICS 4.0.4 I have no idea what to do. will this apk help
Screen size fix?
Anybody managed to fix the screen size issue yet?
Also, only the text tool is working for me.
I'm on Galaxy R.
Nothing else working, not even the pen.
Anyone figure out how to make s-memo work with the official ics
Thankx
Thankx was searching for this one .....

alternative Apps
if I have a backup on Titanium Backup, can I restore my Memos from S-Note into another app?
I actually would just need one app. And I dont want to go back from Android 4.3.3
Will the SMemo work with Jelly Bean stock? I miss it so much and would appreciate it so much if you could upload it for us.
Thanks in advance

SKETCHBOOK
I have now Cyanogenmod 10.2, so I lost Samsung Apps, Touchwiz.... If I have to go back to the stock rom to have them, I prefer to keep Cyanogenmod, since I don't miss Samsung apps and TW.
I just miss the S Note. I am using other notes apps, but I have lost the access to my old notes (I keep the files). So, I am trying to install S Note, but I am not optimistic without TW, and I don't know if there is a method to recover the old S Notes from the files.

Floating Notes ( > 1)

Any idea if there is a program that allows you to "float' more than 1 (handwriting capable) note on top of other programs?
S Note can only float a maximum of one note on screen at a time, and it's impossible to recall saved notes in floating form.
The only one I could find was this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1803284

I'd suggest using (or trying) Snap Pad (free or ad-free).
It's not a floating note but rather a pad that comes out when you drag the snap region (that normally stays invisible).
So it can be opened and resized anytime (without having to launch it) and also while using other apps. It's also possible to adjust the pad's opacity and make it semi-transparent.
Pros
It's designed for the S-Pen (so supports pressure sensitivity and changing from pen to eraser with the button)
It's very simple
Cons
No Undo-Redo function
You have a single page to use

What do you mean?
I have downloaded it (I even have just decided to buy the ad-free version in GooglePlay) and it's fully working. I have a Gnote 10.1 (GT-N8000) - stock Rom.
Maybe there's some sort of conflict between the app installed and downloaded from SamsungApps and the new one offered by GooglePlay. In my case (to be sure) I uninstalled the previously app downloaded from SamsungApps before re-installing the one sold by GooglePlay.
One difference I see is that GooglePlay offers both versions (the "ad-free" and the paid one) whilst SamsungApps, at the moment, offers just the free version.
Re: Floating Notes ( > 1)
This is the adfree version and the free version says the same thing too. I'm running BaDaB!ing's rom with the N8013, 4.1.2 version.
Edit: I got it from the Samsung Apps store,and I have to say, this app is what I have been looking for lately. Thanks.

Re: Floating Notes ( > 1)
I downooaded the free version from google play this afternoon. I liked it a lot and got immediately the paid version. Both work like a charm on my 10.1.
It is a useful app that does not replace any other note taking tool. Probably not worth more than the dollar it costs, but still nice to have

I think the same
Its best side is its simplicity of use and its very "basic" functionality.
Anyway we could maybe ask the developer for something more (not much, just a little bit): something like undo/redo buttons, multiple pages, and (maybe) the possibility to manage more than one single note...

Yes... there's some lag for me too. Moreover if you use your finger to pull it out and it's not precisely placed on the pad's border it may happen than while pulling the pad out you leave some unwanted ink in the note
For me, it's one of the most important apps as I'm an avid notetaker (college). The best part is if a professor mentions something, I can just use the pad and write it down. The only thing I'm concerned about is how will it affect the battery life. Keeping the settings on "low" for 2 of the options (can't recall at the top of my head) makes it flow a little better.
The closest Floating note app, that I could find is cPaint (Cover Paint) (Floating Paint)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=coverpaint.ragingtools.com&hl=en
Pros:
4 notes
Transparency
Line thickness
Resize
Minimize
Color Selection
Cons:
No eraser (negates the usefulness of transparency feature)
No S-Pen pressure support

(Links if applicable would be appreciated
cm10.1 is stable.

aokp is stable
paranoid is stable
baked is stable,

I am very aware of that . I'm just a big fan of CyanogenMod and I want the first ROM on my tab to be the official stable version of cm 10.1

the coolest thing about the galaxy is its IR (infrared). If you go CyanogenMod, which im also a huge fan of, you'll lose this option (most roms out there lack of these function as i learned that IR drivers from samsung are closed source.

The IR is fairly useless. I programmed it to work my tv, but the peel app gave me hardly any buttons, and since I use my tv remote to control xbmc through cec it was pretty useless. It also couldn't control my sound bar properly. The only other app I found that uses the IR blaster is touchsquid which is very over priced. If your home theater is more complicated than a tv and cable box its pointless. Not to mention I can use a remote without looking at it since I can feel buttons. The peel app is more about being a program guide than a useful remote. While I think the IR is a neat feature to have, it's not even close to being taken advantage of.

I think install linux such as backtrack with reaver on the tablet is a source of entertainment everywhere I go.

I love Peel app remote control and find it really useful since I have mutliple TVs and multiple houses, and also Viggle which gives you prizes for watching TV. I also have the Vulkano streaming device so I can watch my cable shows anywhere or watch 2 or more sporting events at once.
You could use it to controle your pc with remote desktop app

there is so much you can do...
First thing, I hope you upgraded to JB before rooting your tablet or you will have to flash CyanogenMod 10.1 to upgrade to JB. I flashed CM 10.1 and I love the upgrade to android 4.2.1
As far as cool things...
1. Install Linux...
2. Install droid mote server and droid mote client on your phone.
3. Install team viewer to control your computers remotely
4. Upgrade with custom ROMs
5. Its all about apps with android...I love playing games like dead trigger or shadow gun on my tablet and using droid mote client on my phone as a joystick/controller.
6. Grab custom apk files from the internet like map for android.
Most of these ideas have already been mentioned I just thought I'd elaborate more...

Make Phone Have Tablet UI whilst Landscape? [Android 4.2]

As said in the title, is there a way so that when I have my phone in landscape mode, it uses the Tablet UI (mainly for apps, don't really care for home screen)? I know this seems very unlikely but boy would it be awesome
BTW I have a Galaxy Nexus running the latest Cyanogenmod Nightly with Android 4.2

I would check the development section. Some roms have the option for tablet ui but not sure the details of how it would work. Also post there instead of here you'll get more exposure there
