So I was thinking of buying this capacitive stylus: http://www.amazon.com/Acase-Capacit...aybook/dp/B003ULE6GU/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
But I was wondering if there are any decent note taking apps designed for use with a pen. Because if there aren't, it's kind of pointless, I don't think there's really anything else I would use the stylus for, except maybe drawing.
Thanks!
I'm not sure of a good app, but I do own this stylus. Once I get my Transformer tomorrow, I will let you know how well it works.
Not sure to what extent you plan to use notes, but I use "Note Everything Pro" and absolutely love it!

Handwritten notes
If you're talking about handwritten notes, some people from the xoom forum suggested handrite, check it out and tell me if it works with the transformer. There is a free version with ads. Also many users suggest get rid of the auto insert feature through the settings for the app and it becomes much more usable.
Amazon 1-click Order is dangerously easy. Just ordered it. I'll play around with the note taking apps and let you know what I find. Tablet's coming tomorrow, stylus should arrive on Tuesday.
I'm using flext9 it can be used as swipe which works faster than the one installed on the transformer and it also has a writing to text feature that's pretty cool.I take my notes on evernote which also has a share button to email/ share it to a computer. You can also create an account and sync your documents up to access anywhere.
I can't believe this, from the time since the beginning of Android to now, NO ONE has created a combinable Text & Handwriting note program.
Where is the app that lets you draw and type within the same note? This was possible in Windows Mobile, 10 years ago!!!
All the programs available seem to at best be able create drawing notes separately from typing note, WTF?

Hey dummy, read the post above yours.
I can confirm this. FlexT9 works great on the Transformer. It does an AWESOME-fast Swype style. Then it also has a handwriting-recognition mode that allows you to write within any app.
Screw note-taking apps, when you have a keyboard like this you don't need them.
The post above mine previous (#6) mentions two things:
FlexT9: an input method, not a program that supports scribble drawing & text notes
EverNote: an notes program, without any scribble drawing support
Care to enlighten me with your wisdom again?
+1 for flexT9, it is now my keyboard of choice too, much quicker than handwriting or typing in my opinion.
There is another note taking app called Tabnotes, currently under development. It looks very promising and could potentially be the killer notepad app. Works really well with handwriting with a stylus.
A trial is available on the market for you to try out, the program has been developed with tablets in mind.
At present you cannot use keypad entry, I have emailed the developer of the app for this function, we'll see what happens.
i am using writepad with Evernote and it works flawlessly. I was nervous because the writepad application cost $10. But if you go to the developers site you can test it free for24 hours.

Do you know if this will sync with multiple devices?
Edit - I found out it currently does not sync with multiple devices.
Hello,
I am looking for an app which allows you to designate which keyboard you want to use in which apps. Preferably it will default to the default keyboard then you can manually change the keyboard for certain apps.
For example, I would like to use swiftkey x when in messaging, whatsapp, and the browser, but use swype with everything else.
I know this should be possible as this app does show the ability to switch keyboards based on certain parameters: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=830177
If you know of any app please do share or if you can create this i am sure thousands of people would be very happy.
Thanks!
I too would like an app like that!

Wow just today I started thinking that an app like this would be extremely useful. I hope there actually is one, out of not at least someone here could write one. I'd gladly party for one if it works!
You can use Tasker to display the input method select popup when you load/exit certain apps (actually, the parameters can be nearly anything you can think of). Android does not allow apps to change the input method automatically. So you will still have to select the input method from the popup.
App in the Works
Hello. I was looking for something to do exactly this and found this thread. Since I cannot find anything to do this, I am writing an app that will do it. I have a somewhat hard-coded proof of concept app that does this right now. I only have a Samsung N7000 Note phone with ICS 4.0.4 on TouchWiz, so have only tested there. This will require root but should, I think, work on almost any device - there is nothing specific to my device. So I will be looking for early testers who have root and are able to let me know how things look. If interested, post here and PM your email to me so I can get you on the list. Cheers!

Hey, I'm running Jellybam 4.2.1 on an AT&T galaxy s3, I'd love to be a tester for you on the keyboard app. But just to make sure we are on the same page, the app you're making will "task" a specific app to use a user defined keyboard? Like, I want the samsung regular ol keyboard when using the messaging app, but I want Kii keyboard to be the default keyboard whenever Glowfly (sms pop up app) notifies me of a new message, Glowfly seems to have some weird tendencies, like when using the samsung keyboard, the return key only sends the text, does not "return" or move the cursor below the already typed text. but when i use kii keyboard with glowfly, the return will put the cursor below the text i already have (this is what i want), but when using kii keyboard in the messaging app (stock app) it will send the message rather than move the cursor below the input text. does this make sense?
Let me know if this is unclear or if you have anything you want tested on a device, thanks!

Following is the write-up I have put together so far for my app's listing on the Play Store. I think it outlines what the app currently can do and I believe it speaks directly to your needs. If you are interested in testing, please PM me your email address.
**** R E Q U I R E S -- R O O T ****
**** R E Q U I R E S -- B U S Y B O X ****
**** M U S T - BE - INSTALLED - AS - SYSTEM - APP ****
Thank you for READING the following BEFORE commenting/reviewing:
For most android devices but tested by the developer only on Samsung Note N7000 with ICS and JB.
Install as a normal app in the normal way. But to operate fully, you MUST install as a system app. I recommend using this app here on the Play store. But other techniques will work as well. You must undo this prior to uninstalling or updating.
After using on your device in "free" mode, please consider purchasing the Pro Upgrade to unlock other features.
Please email me from the link on this page with questions, comments, or suggestions. I cannot respond to reviews left by users so that is not the best channel to reach me.
There are piles of keyboards/input methods out there for Android devices. But it stands to reason that some keyboards are much better for some tasks than others. Imagine a hypothetical app which never accepts alphabetic input. When running this app, you don't need a full QWERTY keyboard - something like a 10-key pad would be much more efficient. So you may find yourself regularly switching between keyboards whenever you use a certain app. But doing so in Android is something of a pain involving at least several steps each time.
Keyboard Master exists to save you this time and hassle! It permits your device to "remember" (called a mapping) that you want to use a specific keyboard each time you run a specific app. And when that app is started, Keyboard Master takes care of making the keyboard swap and then swapping back when the app is no longer being used.
Keyboard Master operates in a default (free) mode that permits you to establish a single mapping at a time so you can test how it works on your device. This single mapping may be adequate for some users and if so, please enjoy the app at no charge.
Users with more advanced needs will appreciate the Pro Upgrade which you can purchase within Keyboard Master (see the options menu). Purchasing this upgrade will enable the following additional features of Keyboard Master:
Removes the limit of only one app-to-keyboard mapping imposed in the free version of Keyboard Master. There will be no limit imposed.
Enables the optional, automatic capture of app-to-keyboard mappings as you change the selected input method while running an application. Of course, the manual creation of mappings found in the free version is still supported.
Enables the on-demand backup/loading of settings and mappings to/from your device's SD card.
It will also unlock other, advanced features that may be added in the future. I can envision future support for device orientation in mappings and special treatment when a hardware keyboard is in use, to name a few.
All of this power and convenience comes at a technical price. Not only does this app require ROOT, but it also must be installed as a "system" app (as opposed to a normal or downloaded app) because only a system app is permitted to swap keyboards in this way. So once you have downloaded Keyboard Master, you MUST move it to the location on your device where system apps reside. And it must be moved back prior to uninstall or update.
I want to thank the author of this app who's published code hinted at how Keyboard Master could accomplish all of this.

I am pleased I could help out. But I am confused. I don't think I have sent you my app (Keyboard Master) yet. Changing my app to a system app is needed but I would not recommend changing apps to system apps without really good cause. Keyboard Master needs this capability, but most apps should not benefit from this at all. If you do want to test Keyboard Master, PM me with your email address. Also, I will shortly be posting a video of Keyboard Master at work on my Samsung Note N7000 to YouTube. I will post that link here for those who are interested. Cheers!

hahahahaha I misread some of your reply to me and when I quickly grabbed /system/appmover I converted some of my apps and forgot to come back to your post to finish reading everything and I confused your (keyboard master) for the Tasker mods I had already set for my keyboards because when I converted Tasker and the keyboard I wanted to use, everything became instantly responsive and it removed the problems I was having prior, thus leading me to imagine I had your app and things worked. Sorry about the mistake, I am still interested in trying out your app tho. I believe I had sent you a pm with my email. If not lemme know and I'll send it

Ah ha. I think I read somewhere that Tasker does have an addon (which also requires to be a system app) that will do some (perhaps all) of what my app does. If you are already a Tasker user (I am not), that may be the way to go. No sense in cluttering up your device with extra apps and complexity (and possibly incompatibilities).

Hahaha well looks like this accident turned into a good thing, I have removed Tasker to give your app a try, if it is the same turn out, I'll pm you about it. Maybe your app runs better/faster/lighter. Would be nice to find out, thank you for pointing out the possible clash with Tasker and Keyboard Master

And yes, Tasker uses SecureSettings to dive deeper into the phone directories to include input methods as tasks, so once both are made system apps, they run flawlessly. So in the short run, your recommendation of getting /system/app mover was the fix for my current issue.
Keyboard Master App Does This and is Ready!
You may be interested in my Keyboard Master app on the Play store. It does just what the OP requested. Cheers!
I am a software developer, and have been creating Android apps for businesses since 2008. Up until recently all of the apps I have created have been for businesses to serve specific needs.
When I recently bought my TF300T I quickly wanted to start leaving the laptop home, but there are just a few things left I still cannot do on Android.
So my question to you is, what would you like to be able to do in Android that you cannot yet do?
I'd like to see a word processor that supports features such as: multiple columns, page numbering, a ruler, fonts, spacing, margins, multiple paper sizes, printing directly to a wireless or shared printer etc.
Some of these features are available for various Office suite word processors, but I have yet to find one that supports them all. It's getting better, but we're not there yet.
A robust office suite, really, is the only thing that's missing for me.
Google bought quickoffice, so I hope to see a Drive/office hybrid. MS is also working on office for android tablets afaik.
So office apps might not be the best choice as a software dev.
Has someone made a nice music player app that takes advantage of the tablet screen? Basically multiple frames so you can see what's playing (with basic controls) on one side of the screen, and be able scroll through your playlist or music directory on the other side of the screen.
Something like that with pop up windows (or frames) for additional features (like an Equalizer) would be pretty nice.
Actually not sure if the TF300 has a good music player, as I haven't received mine yet, but on my other tablet, everything I've found seems to be made for phones, and I hate having to cycle through different screens just to browse the playlist
I really want an app that synchronises handwritten note taking with audio, like the echo smartpen does. Then I could use it in meetings really effectively.
I think there is an ipad app that does this (grr...) but nothing for Android

Google Play Music, which comes on the tablet, is tablet-optimized. The tablet also comes with MusicFX, which is an equalizer, and it integrates with Play Music.

I'd hardly call Google Music tablet optimized, it scales well but doesnt use space very efficiently.
This is the only one I know of, but its really ugly

But yeah, I'd also like to see a better office editor. Quickoffice is a little too light on features to be taken seriously for more than minor edits.
The docks USB port does not recognize my camera and I do not like the way the tablet just puts your pictures in one big conglomeration. I would like a tablet that recognizes any digital camera and places your photos into files by date like a PC does. I use the tablet for work and I have to upload photos to my reports and then send the reports to my office. I have been able to type reports but it takes so many steps to get pictures from my camera into the tablet and then load them onto my reports that I am not able to do my reports quickly unless I am at home at my compute doing them.
I would love to get my hands on an Android clone of the airsketch app another teacher in my building has for his ipad.

Biggest problem with Android apps right now is they aren't optimized for tablets. Most of the apps are designed for phones.
Yeah, but that should change as tablets get cheaper and more popular.
I would like at least a word processor (if not a whole office suite) That;
1: Had all but the most advanced of a PC's word processors features such as full formatting, the ability to add fonts, full text options; the whole nine yards.
2: It having a nice ICS tablet layout. Not a clunky phone UI that has the features but not the layout to be of any use.
3: Full usb (or our dock) and bluetooth keyboard support with hotkeys and shortcuts (ie: Ctrl+V for paste etc etc...)
4: A supportive dev who would listen to community input and have a way to contact them easily where the other members of the community could also see the discussion (ie: a forums).
If you actually intend to do this (I REALLLLLLLY hope you do, its sorely needed) then I myself will plan on donating to the projects development as it goes along.

Right now I am putting the finishing touches on a project I hope to release this coming week sometime. It will be a tool specifically for Tablets and geared towards software developers mostly.
I am responding to you because the app I am about to release does support all of the typical hotkeys like Ctrl-V etc.
The biggest problem with creating an office suite for tablets is supporting all of the various file types that are out there (Office 2000/2003/2007 etc.) If it was just a matter of supporting one file type, and having the ability to import/convert from/to the other file types than it would be much easier. The problem is that would add an extra step for users to deal with.
I also think that Google will be releasing a very nice Office Suite for Android very soon. I think with the push for Chrome OS, and the already stated fact that Google plans to merge Chrome OS into Android points to that even more.

some apps require sd card to work (like this one or this one), because they put the data on sd card, so i want an app that have the abiltiy to use the internal memory as an "virtual sd card",
i know sd cards are not expensive, but i just feel like it's not necessary to use a sd card while there's still a lot of space on my device (like this one has 32 GB) and sometimes you forget your sd card or because of whatever reason you don't want to use your sd card.
so an app like that would be very useful (at least for me, i really need it )
i'd also like to see the list of apps you've created
I would like a virtual server running.
I have a particular need and idea to get some of my phone apps working on the tablet.
My idea is to create a virtual space something like Stick It! or Super Video, those app allow you to open a window and play your videos inside a hovering and movable window.
I took a measurement, and since owning an Asus TF300T with the keyboard dock, my tablet is mostly in landscape mode .
In landscape mode I can fit 3 windows of virtual space (or however you want to call it technically) of my phone in portrait mode.
So the apps on my phone where the developer is; for whatever reason, not interested in making those apps tablet ready, I can run those apps and see them the way they would look on the phone.
Because of the space that I measured, I can run 3 portrait phone apps at once. And just tap to switch between windows.
Does this sound like something that would benefit users?
Thanks

There's a few apps I can think of off the top of my head. A gallery, a calculator & an app that brings all your social feeds together.
For the gallery, I'd like something similar to the stock gallery app except with the option to view it in list or folder view or something similar. Sorting options like sort by name, type etc and the ability to flick through them in that order would be good too.
For the calculator, heaps of buttons on the screen would be nice, and maybe they could be scrollable to reveal more buttons. Right now most calculators are just simple calculators with giant buttons lol. I'd really appreciate a scientific or graphic calculator on Android.
I'm also yet to find a decent tablet app that brings all your social feeds together. Something like the desktop Tweetdeck where you can have multiple panes would be great plus the ability to view profiles, messages, notifications etc.
I'd be willing to pay for any of these as long as their recently priced. (Not gonna pay $20 for a gallery lol)
If any of these are already on the market a reply or link would be appreciated lol, maybe I'm not digging hard enough.

My idea is to create a virtual space something like Stick It! or Super Video, those app allow you to open a window and play your videos inside a hovering and movable window.
I took a measurement, and since owning an Asus TF300T with the keyboard dock, my tablet is mostly in landscape mode .
In landscape mode I can fit 3 windows of virtual space (or however you want to call it technically) of my phone in portrait mode.
So the apps on my phone where the developer is; for whatever reason, not interested in making those apps tablet ready, I can run those apps and see them the way they would look on the phone.
Because of the space that I measured, I can run 3 portrait phone apps at once. And just tap to switch between windows.
Does this sound like something that would benefit users?
Thanks
Rob

Sorry for double post but I'd love something like this. Like multitasking with 3 vertical apps running in phone mode would be beautiful. Maybe not a virtual server (do you mean online?), but just running an app in a phone version rather than tablet. That way we could have apps like Launcher 7 etc run on tabs. Or maybe have 2/3 of the screen having a browser and the other 1/3 of space occupying a phone app. Great idea man.
It would seem pretty hard to code or implement though.

Hello everyone, Moleskine Journal app is finally released on Samsung Apps ( I only found it available on Spain's app market for now) and supposedly it is going to be exclusively on Samsung devices for 6 months. It might not replace S Note or Lecturenotes for everyone, but I found it to be quite handy and useful for quick sketches/notes. I'm a big fan of Moleskine and been waiting for this app since it was announced in August. Hope you guys will like it.

How has no one thanked you yet? There is a thread of guys waiting on this
Thank you, I'm glad to see other users making use of this app. I wonder when it will be publicly available in the US and other countries.
Moleskine Journal for the Note 10.1 and Landscape mode
Thanks silverbladef
Upon reading your post I've seen that actually in Samsung apps (Spain) there is it, but only selecting as device the Note and the Note2 and not the Note 10.1.
Hopefully there would be soon a slightly different "tablet" version of the app since, it seems to me, the one for the Note works only in portrait mode and a tablet user should be able to work in landscape mode too, as it can be seen in this document by Moleskine.

Thanks, works great.
thankyou!
Amazing ! I Know it's no S Note but amazing to have
It seems to be a special Samsung version that requires touchwiz to work.
Does fc when opening on CM10 based rom.
Update
The app has been updated to v1.1 and now it is compatible with the Note 10.1 (portrait mode included.) I tried to search for it in the Samsung App Store but no results came up, so you have to go to the "Best S Pen Apps" section and you should be able to see it there.

Great! Thanks silverbladef for the heads up!
The new version (1.1) is finally usable with the GNote 10.1 as it can work in both portrait and landscape mode.
I've tried it (for about half an hour) and my first impression is that there's very great potential but also some work to do... (see "cons" later in this post).
Yet I find it the most simple and effective note taking app amongst the ones I've tried so far.
It has almost all of the essential tools I judge as important and necessary for a S-Pen enabled tablet and some more.
Some of them are:
Free hand pen writing with pressure sensitivity.
Quick commands to change the pen/brush/pencil size/color/transparency
Text box insertion (and editing function at a later time)
Quick tool to free-hand select part of the ink writing or some text box to copy or move it to another position.
Quick way to use image/ink writing or text clips saved in "the pocket" to use them later, also in a different notebooks (this feature is rather unique for note taking apps and could be very useful for some type of usage!).
Some of the cons I've found so far:
There's still some excessive lag in opening the notebooks, in executing some commands and in navigating through pages.
Lack of some custom settings.
Automatic saving process is not fully reliable (i.e. even if almost always the notebook is automatically saved on exit, in some cases during the tests I've made, it wasn't saved and I haven't seen a command to manually save it...)
To summarize I think that the app needs some more testing and streamlining to be used with a 10.1 tablet, but, if the developer goes on to work on and improve it, it will probably soon become one of the best note taking apps (together with my presently favorite one that's LectureNotes).
What I liked most is the ratio between the effectiveness of the available tools and the simplicity of the UI and of the settings.
Yet to improve further the app I think that some few settings should be addedd (i.e. to create custom pens/brushes, to set the pressure sensitivity level or to create more custom templates).
I agree with you. As a big fan of Moleskine, this app probably would never replace S Note for me. I use it if i wanted to sketch or write something quickly with the same feel of the physical journals I posses of. It needs a lot of improvements to be done, a better reliable back up system, and autosaving for sure. One thing I noticed is the pencil/pen setting always defaults to a thicker kind of pen and I have to readjust it every time I open a notebook, frustrating.
I really hope they continue to develop this app, but it has some serious issues. It is soooo SLOW! When a page has any significant amount of writing or drawing on it, it takes ages to load the page, or switch to a new page in a book. It must be storing all the lines as vectors, because even after erasing all the lines with the eraser tool, the page still takes forever to load. Even with a blank book, it takes a couple of seconds to switch to a new page.
The color picker lets you choose a transparency value for a brush, but it doesn't work except for the marker tool, but only if you change transparency, and then adjust brush size.
With a graph paper book, switching from landscape to portrait will mess up the graph paper and make it not square. You have to re-select the graph paper background again to get it back to normal.
The brush size will reset itself when switching from landscape to portrait.
When doing small details or letters at a medium to slow speed, they are automatically deleted.
I like the idea of this app, but right now it really stinks, usability-wise, I'm surprised they released it in its current state.
password problem
Since the update my password doesn't work and I can't open any password protected books. Anyone else have this? Any way of getting into the book?
Other than the apps that come as part of samsungs note package what else do you use that takes advantage of the spen. I intend on getting a few different drawing apps, but was wondering if there was anything that I hadnt considered that really shines when using it with the spen.
Thanks
Not strictly a drawing app but I like "LectureNotes" a lot, you can configure the button on the pen to be an eraser toggle which is awesome. The UI needs some improvement but as far as functions goes this is way better than s note IMO

Papayrus is another good one, though I think I prefer LectureNotes for most uses. LectureNotes is amazingly customizable and the developer seems very responsive (there's a forum here on XDA that he seems pretty active on).

Side question (hopefully not hijacking this thread!): I can't figure out how to make use of the S-Pen button in LectureNotes (or anything else for that matter)--any time I hold down the S-Pen button and then draw (to erase, select, etc.) I just trigger the snapshot utility built into the OS. Can these functions not coexist (ie, do I need to just disable that snapshot utility to be able to use the S-Pen button in other apps like LectureNotes)?

For LectureNotes you only need to press the pen button once while hovering to select the alternate tool (eraser, cutter, ...) and it will change to that tool. After one use it will change back to the previous tool you had.
More apps need to make use of that pen button, there's so much potential.

I agree!
Great. Thanks! This is what I was hoping for. Not necesarily drawing apps, but other apps that people may not have considered for their notes.
I read good things about MyScript Notes Mobile on another site but haven't had the time to try it out yet.
Also 6$ seems quite hefty for an app without a limited trial or something like that...
Also have a look at S-Pen Voice and Snap Pad, both available as freemium apps.

ArtFlow Studio: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bytestorm.artflow (cant post link yet, sorry), a holo themed drawing app.
Disclaimer: I'm a developer so I'm not quite objective , but basic features are free (and ad free) so you can try for yourself (full functionality can be unlocked by single in-app licence purchase).
Here is a promo video:
can anyone suggest a note app that has landscape mode and allows syncing?

I think LectureNotes could work for you. I believe you can use it in either Portrait or Landscape (I always use Portrait, personally). You might be able to sync the files between devices using Dropsync or FolderSync. I use Dropsync just to backup the files to my Dropbox account. I've not tried to sync between devices. You'd probably need to be careful to only open a note on another device after it has synced, or you'd likely end up with collisions.
There's a thread here on XDA where the author ( @acadoid ) is very active.
It is a great app--I highly recommend it!

thanks for the tip, i purchased lecture notes yesterday and it was exactly what i was looking for. i also contacted the developer with a question or two and he was quick to respond and helpful.
For stuff that didn't come standard issue the only app I really tend to use with the S-Pen is Skitch, I find it lightweight and perfect for simple markups that won't need S-Note's more productivity oriented GUI.
Not a fan of Quill, it's too clunky in the UI (unlike S-Note) and I'm too lazy to try Papyrus again even though they both support the S-Pen.

You're welcome! I'm glad it is working out well for you!
Snap Pad is pretty darn useful. :3
I was wondering about this myself as I am trying to decide if I should get the note 8 or not. This info is helpful. thanks.
Lecture Notes is rocking my world. Leaves S-Notes in the dust.
Without GMD S-Pen Control my S-Pen would be less than half useful. And, of course, Lecture Notes.
For syncing App Data (for example Lecture Notes) between devices I think DataSync+ is a better solution than Dropsync or FolderSync, both are more useful for data which is not hard linked with apps.
With DataSync+ I even sync Notes from AwesomeNotes between Note 8.0 and N7000.
