Love the app, you really have brought the s-pen to life!! But I notice I cannot install apk's with it running, the dialog shows, the install button is not disabled, but I cannot click it. If I disable the app I can install just fine.

I would like to see actions with just a press of the s-pen button. For example, I would like to be able to change pen colors while writing by simply pressing the s-pen button rather than having to open the pen menu.

On my Note 10.1 (JB 4.1.1, German stock rom, rooted), there is a strange bug which I could track down to SPen Control after three factory resets.
I noticed suddenly, that it was no longer possible to install .apk from outside the Play Store. The effect is/was, that when trying to install an apk from system level, the message about the already existing apk pops up (if existing) and afterwards the window showing the permission requests of the app.
There, as long as SPen Control is active, the "install" button does not accept input. The "cancel" button instead works as well as the arrows inside that window to open/close detailed views of the requested permissions.
As soon as SPen Control is terminated (stop service and exit), the button works again.
So, this is a workaround (before manually installing an app, exit SPen Control), but nevertheless, that should be fixed.

This was fixed. Please update the application.
1.1.1:
- Fixed: Samsung screenshot gesture working when disabled.
- Fixed: Install button would not work when installing from file system.
Fix was successful, my problem is solved. Thanks for an excellent implementation and the quick support.
awesome app!
But i wonder... would it be possible to Start the Service when you unplug the pen and stop the Service when you plug the pen back?

_If_ this is implemented, please make it optional. I have a second external pen (with clip and eraser) which I use and the internal one remains in place.
That's why I do not use the "power saver" feature to enable the digitizer only in case of a removed pen.

I'm investigating it and if possible I will add option for it. This only make sense if I can start application with this event. If I need to run service for it to work then it does not have any meaning, because application is "sleeping" when there are now events. Or in developers terms, thread is in "waiting" state and it does not consume cpu time.
I developed other application Gesture Control for touch gestures and despite there are more touch events that SPen events, applicatio never appears in battery stats on my devices. I don't think you will notice any battery decrease with SPen Control too.
ah sorry my fault. wrong Word!
i dont really care about the Service it's more the app in the Status bar thats annoying me!
And the Note 10.1 does Support app Start when you unplug the Pen. altough you cant choose your own app.
(But somehow its broken for me now.... maybe because i flashed another Kernel or other stuff.)
Great app! +1
I bought the application and works really well but it would be very useful (and easier) to create custom gesture by drawing them, like G for google or F for facebook for example.
Just tried this with Paranoid Android and works. Sweet now you can have SPen and not be on stock based roms. Awesome!!!

I'm working on graphical gestures. I have all engine ready, recording and recognition. Just need to finish settings activity and decide how to combine old gestures and new gestures. If I add graphical gestures, do you think it is ok to remove old path based gestures completely?

I've been playing around with Mark Wei's splendid http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688531StandOut library and thought I'd share one app I've been finding useful.
It's very basic and very beta.
FloatNote v1.0.4b
Edit:
Thought I better provide some info
This app is very simple. It floats on top of other windows and lets you scribble notes or little sketches.
I wrote it for me and my phone so I know it runs okay on a Galaxy Note under cm9.
It's written for the galaxy note stylus so pressure increases pen stroke width and the side button gives you the eraser.
Select ink colour by swiping your stylus along the rainbow thing on the titlebar (the title text shows the selected colour). Click the sidebutton when touching the rainbow to return to black.
It autosaves your note and autoloads it when the app opens again.
Resize the window with the triangle in the bottom right corner.
I'm using the android native API so it may work okay(ish) on other devices. If it does, let me know.
Enjoy...
Nikad
Latest Update:
Version 1.0.9b
Changelog:
Major rewrite - had to do away with Mark's standout library and reimplement some of its functionality.
Hide and restore from the notification bar
Share note with other apps, email, etc
Saves position, size and pen colour.
Lots of bug fixes and improvements in performance/reliability
Important:
This app requires API Level 14 or higher to detect the stylus so you need ICS.
There are known issues running under Touchwiz so stick with a CM9/CM10 variant.
Know to run okay on the Galaxy Note International, I717 and the HTC Flyer.
If anyone runs it on other devices I'd love to know!

No quick launch yet, sorry
If you've ran the app already, you can launch it from your recent apps. But...
Improvements in mind include being able to hide the window and then show it when you click on the notification (I had this on an earlier alpha and just need to add it back in).
Multi-page note: support for more than one page.
Share note (with whatever).
I'm not going to go too heavy on functionality though. The idea was to be simple and uncluttered.

New version on its way. Just going through last testing and tweaking so maybe tonight/tomorrow morning.
Ended up doing a major rewrite just to provide a small amount of additional functionality. But it's all good! It even ended up smaller.
We now have an app that will hide and restore from the notification bar, can share the image with other apps and loads of reliability improvements.
I haven't had a chance yet to run it on other devices or on stock roms so all I can say is it works on the Galaxy Note under CM9.

I'm glad you like it. Thanks.
If you're on a call, just pull down the status bar and click on the notification. It's a bit of an illusion that it's "hidden". Really the app is shut down and relaunched when you click the restore notification.
By the way, I see you running a stock rom. Does TouchWiz not cause problems with FloatNote?
Thanks again for your interest!
Ok. That makes sense. I can restore it from the notification bar if it is hidden.. only thing the app must be up and running before that..
I do not use Touichwiz when there are great lauchers namely Nova these days.. It has been some time since I went back to TW
I use float to be called in one of the gesture of NOVA which is great. You would do a scrolling option on the screen if possible. That will help me add longer notes rather than extending the window,,
Thanks. :good:

Tired of moving your fingers up/down your tablet to switch applications? Try out TasKarou!
TasKarou is a multitasking launcher overlay.
Taking inspiration from the 'Quick Controls' feature in the android browser, TasKarou provides a multitasking layer on top of a launcher for phone and tablets.
By swiping anywhere on the left or right edge of your device screen, you can activate TasKarou's UI, giving you access to a quick, smooth, and intuitive interface to facilitate app launch, transition, and management for the user
The user interface brings a more responsive, and enjoyable level of interaction to your device.
The app is available in the android market: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ne0fhykLabs.home.taskarou
Notes:
To use TasKarou, set it as the default home launcher, and from TasKarou's settings, select the actual home launcher you want to overlay.
TasKarou user interface is then triggered by swiping from either the left of right edge of your tablet screen, while still allowing access to the overlaid home launcher through the home button.

It should be possible, but unfortunately, I lack the resources to pursue development in that area (lack of devices running GB).
If someone has the knowledge, and the resources, I might consider open sourcing the app to allow development in that area.
I installed the app on my rooted Kindle Fire HD running ADW Launcher. It was nice to finally have multi-tasking/task switching ability on the tablet. Unfortunately had to uninstall it because it kept on causing failures with App Protector Pro - which I rely on more than task switching. When a new version comes out I'll try again.
Otherwise, great app!

HI!
I've been using this app for a week now, and love it.
I have some suggestions that might be useful:
-I have a galaxy note 2 and it's quite difficult for short fingers like me to reach back/menu buttons when operating with one hand. Could you please, please, pleeease add them?:fingers-crossed:
-Also it would be awesome to customize menus. For example, I don't use the options buttons quite often as I use 15 toggles toolbar, and the lower menu is easier to access with my thumb than the upper. That's where I'd locate home, menu and back buttons (if added), but maybe another person that's using a tablet likes the way it is now. Customizable buttons would solve this problem, so anyone could move/add/remove the buttons as he prefered.
-When using Google Chrome and swapping between tabs,it's necessary to move your finger horizontally from the border of the screen, and taskarou is launching when doing this. Perhaps you could implement an additional way to launch it by moving the finger vertically along the border of the screen.
-Last, It would be great to have the possibility to add a shortcut to any application, so you could quick launch your most used apps.
Well, perhaps all of this is asking too much but you would make me sooo happy if you could implement the first suggestion
Hey ne0fhyk,
Could you add customisation to the buttons?? So that you can replace them with whatever you want, I would really like the back home and applications button, also a time overlay on the corcver of the screen when the launcher is activated would be aweomse
I just wanted to add my vote for the ability to customize the menu..
I like the idea, but would prefer to be able to use the existing default screens for multitasking, app drawer, etc.
Perhaps this could be accomplished similar to other apps / lauchers that have an intent / activity / application browsers to make shortcuts (NovaLauncher / QuickShortcutMaker are good examples from the Play store). Perhaps there could be a nested ordered list of menu items in the settings with support for drag and drop to arrange shortcuts, and add new shortcuts
After basic customization is available it would be nice to see support for Automation app API's to create shortcuts to actions from Tasker, AutomateIT Pro, etc
Thanks for listening!
All better!

Turns out that the problem was with App Protector Pro. I updated the app and no more problems. Happily using TasKoarou again.

Your first suggestions have been implemented, and should be available in the app, starting with version 3.2.
Your next suggestions are on my list to get done for the next update!
Sorry for the delay, but because of work, I do not have as much time to spend on this application as I wish. The app is open source though, so if you are a developer, or know interested developer, feel free to pitch in
Please, add shortcuts, last (previious) app, widget panel (from CM roms), open notifications and more hardware keys, like play\pause, volume and others.
Add second (inner) row for regular buttons, while outer row will act the same as now. If this will be implemented, than the outer row can be used in a whole new way. Swiping to the one of it's buttons and taking off the finger will start an action, binded to this button, but if you swipe and hold (with adjustable hold timeout), you'll get an access to submenu for the button.
I would also love to see black list for apps, such as drawing app ArtFlow, which is using screen borders to access tollbars.
I've just installed this app to use it instead of SlimPie in my Slim Bean rom, and I've already bought it, cause I like it's idea. Though, it's less responsive still, compared to LMT or SlipPie.
Keep up the good work.
Stunning work my friend

I tested it on several devices, and it doesn't affect battery life at all. While it's idle (not being triggered by the user), TasKarou launcher only background activity is to keep the trigger edges active, which allows it to consume very little cpu activity while in the background.
This app development and support is terminated. Samsung protected required intents and this app would need root access to operate.

It triggers Air Command menu on Note 3 and Note 10.1 (and other devices that have Air Command mod).
Requires stock based ROM. Does not use root, just a regular app :angel:
Features (modified from standard behavior):
- Show Air Menu without S Pen.
- Add Air Command shortcut to Multiwindow Menu.
- Start Pen Window without S Pen.

edit : also i noticed that if i use your app and select pen-window (last option) with my s-pen, then for a brief second the pencil+blue line icon appears underneath the s-pen point, then disappears immediately..however if i press the button on the s-pen to invoke air -command, the pencil and blue line icon stays until i draw a square with my s-pen or launch something else with my fingers.

Hello Friends,
Just want to share with you another app - Air Command Shortcut: a shortcut app that invokes the Air Command menu. I initially showed this app a few weeks ago on this post video. This is initial BETA release.
Action Memo, Screen Write, S Finder and Pen Window can now be launched with just a finger click but Scrapbooker still needs the Spen to draw a target window. When spen is inserted while clicking Scrapbooker, a preset app will open instead and when spen is detached, clicking Scrapbooker will function as normal - meaning you need to use your spen to draw a target window to be saved by Scrapbooker. A toast message will let you know when you need to use spen or not.
Pen Window will launched with a preset window size but if you bought my other app - PEN WINDOW LAUNCHER, clicking Pen Window will launched that instead so you can use your preferred window size and position.
Download it below.
Thank you @xperiacle
Worked at my end.

1) you change detach action (hint - restore it back).
2) you leave phone in 'Detached S Pen' state so if you open this app with finger (and you don't attach spen manually after that) it will trigger S Pen Keeper alert that you forgot to attach S Pen. (hint - I send attach intent to prevent it but maybe there is better solution).
Hope this helps.
So ..
How if you want to launch it with other apps ..
Like browser..
YouTube....etc.

It is an honour to have you here, Sir...you are indeed one of the great devs around. And THANKS for the tips.
Sorry, I know you posted first about the Air Command shortcut but I have been working on it for a few weeks now as you can see in my previous video link in the OP. I just never got to post the initial app because I am having some technical issues. I got most of the menu items working except scrapbooker which works partially for me due to system-level permission issues which I am still trying to fix without having to mod any system file and if possible without the need for root. Apart from that, it seems most are working. I will probably offer the user the option to change some of the menu items. So instead of Scrapbooker or S Finder, may be they would like to launch their favourite app instead. Again, thanks for all your work. Keep rocking.

What do you mean launch it with other apps? Do you mean change the menu items with like browser/youtube or launch the menu items at the same time launch other apps like browser/youtube in one click? If you mean both, yes it is possible but I am still trying to iron out some technical issues. The app in the OP doesn't include those options yet. It is just the basic shortcut app but the final release may or may not offer those options mentioned depending on how I would be able to fix some issues.
The thing is I am still exploring because I don't know what KitKat brings. It seems a lot has changed internally. I haven't tried it yet as I am waiting for my region's official release.
Anyway, I will update the one in the OP with some more features soon.

It cool that you are working on it too. I didn't imply anything when I said I posted it. Its not an original idea or something. I just wanted to point out issues that I had and see if you found better solutions. Keep up the good work :good:
I just updated Air Command Shortcut app with some fixes. Action Memo, Screen Write, S Finder and Pen Window can now be opened with a Finger click. Scrapbooker still needs the spen but the app will launch a preset app when it detects that the spen is inserted. When it detects that the spen is detached Scrapbooker will launched as normal - meaning you need to use the spen to draw the window to save.
Just download it in the OP.
Great work again together with your Pen Window Launcher even better and your announcment is promising. One suggestio (?) I don´t use the Browser, i use chrome but his is peronal tase. Is it technicaly possible to choose what shortcut i want?
Edit: And another question. Is it possible to link the Pen Window to the Pen Window Drawer of the Pen Window Launcher instead of Pen Window Lancher itself so the Pen Window Launcher Notification wont start?

Yes I used the default browser app as the preset app when Scrapbooker menu item is clicked (when spen status is inserted) but it definitely can be changed once I finished the settings UI. It is also possible to launch your favourite apps together with any of the other menu items in the air command.
Thank you for the suggestion. I will modify the app so it will launch pen window launcher with the pen drawer directly without notification. It's just a small change, I might be able to update it in a while.
And by the way, I already uploaded a new version of Pen Window Launcher in the Play Store. @and2 Could you test and let me know any feedback. Thanks.
Hey @xperiacle ,
First, Thank You for this app, Then I wanna ask if there is some good news about finger Scrabooking.
Thanks for the great App. Is it possible in the Pro Version so see the app icons instead of defaults in the drawer "My Air Command"?

I reformatted phone and installed phantom rom again. After restoring apps with titanium, I got the fc again, indicating that it was a problem related to a specific app. So I tried stopping some apps. Eventually, I found out that it was wanam xposed recent update that was causing the fc. The new features added were causing the problem. So, I disabled the new features on wanam xposed and now there is no fc problem. Thanks.
great app so far i have seen.
can we have this app on note n7000?

Could you describe which of the features you disabled to get it to work?

Not working for me.
When i open the app, this happens
But it works fine with the SPen as usual, when pulling it out or pushing the button.
EDIT-
Still not working after a clean rom flash and data wipe, thought i'd better make sure as i had removed many system apk's when i tried before. Any news on this?
Where can I get the donate version to access setting?
Hi,
Important : Requires ROOT
This is a simple App that emulates the click of Power Button.
Handy when u want to reduce wear and tear of the physical button or if the button is not working.
Currently the following method of Trigger are available:
- Using the Swipe Up Assist action which usually opens the Google Now App
- Application icon (In Launcher)
- Shortcut
- Intent Support - Use 'in.pathri.screenoff.SCREEN_OFF' as Intent action to trigger screen off from ANY App, including TASKER
Following are planned to be added:
- Widget (Is it Needed?? )
- Tasker Extension
Advantage over other similar apps in Market:
The usual 'Screen Off' 'Screen Lock' Apps that are available in market, makes the 'Smart Lock' feature introduced in Lollipop not work. Also this makes the timeout period set in the 'Automatically Lock' security settings to not work.
Since my App uses shell commands (and hence the need for Root) to emulate Power Button press, both Smart Lock and 'Automatically Lock' settings work.
Disclaimer:
AFAIK should not cause any problems in any device since nothing dangerous is being used. But still the usual disclaimer : ' I am not responsible for any damage done to your device, hand, home etc... LOL '
Have tested so far in the following Mobiles. Would be glad if others test it out in various mobiles and report here.

That feature is not yet available. It is planned though in future updates
If possible can you verify If the swipe up gesture is turning screen off in your phone? Would like to confirm whether my App is working across devices
Thanks

It brings my magazines app.
What I meant to say is that we can do this with tasker.

AFAIK, If we use tasker to screen off, it will immediately lock and would not respect the Smart Lock feature. Please correct me If am wrong.
Regarding the gesture bringing up the magazine app, have u configured the swipe up gesture do that by default ? Or After installing this App,the swipe up gesture got assigned to it?

Oh..ok.. Then I Guess the swipe up gesture you are talking might not be the one I am referring to. The gesture I am referring to usually triggers Google Now /Google search
Does the gesture that opens the magazine app, work on custom launcher?? If no, I Guess that gesture is part of Samsung launcher and can't be overridden without launcher replacement

Hi, Is it possible for you to test this app either through the App in the App Drawer or through shortcuts? Would be glad if you could test it, so that we can be sure of the devices that the App supports.
Thank u

Thanks a lot my friend
Regarding overriding the swipe up gesture in ur Note 3 , I think it might be possible with an Xposed module. I have never written one, so not Sure. I am ready to try to make a Xposed module, If it's ok for u to test it out in ur mobile (have no previous experience in writing Xposed module, so a word of caution )
I have tried that mod already it doesnt replaes the gesure action.
