Pretty new to the note world and have been trying a few different apps for drawing. My current favorite is LayerPaint, but one thing I cant figure out is what the squiggly line with off, 1, 2 ,3 ,4 and 5 does on the floating toolbar. no matter what option I choose, nothing appears to change with what I am drawing.
Can some one explain for me?
Thanks

answer from the dev...
That option means "Hand shake (hands movement) correction".
Value is more (4, 5), more strokes shake (noise) removed.
If you don't perceive correction, your stroke is already good, maybe

It could just be me, maybe it is ment to look this way, but....
The internet explorer font is really really big. I even set the text size to "smaller". There is also an annoying scroll bar on the right corner that pops up and takes up about a quarter of the screen.
Another glitch is typing in text. For instance when I try to post something on face book you can't see the text your typing until you actually post. Seems to happen if I put in more the 5 or 6 characters.
I'm old and wear glasses but I don't need the view to be this big!
Any ideas? Besides don't use it?
Thanks.
obviously ur talking about the i.e from the newly created Ookba ROM, and i mentioned this bug to Ookba and he said he was going to try and tackle it shortly.
also, have u tried switching from "Desktop View" to "Mobile View" in i.e.?
I found a nice medium with adjusting the zoom with medium fonts.
Yes, I messed with all the settings. mobile view with smaller text, etc etc. no difference. but thanks!
yea the "let me show you where you on the page by taking up 25% of the page itself" is really annoying. Any reg key to disable this page-scrolling popup?
Just playing around with S-note. The auto shape tool leaves some shapes as outlines but fills othersin. Anyone know the rhyme or reason? I've tried different pensbut get inconsistent results. Circles seem to fill - in more thanother shapes.I've attached an illustration.
I'd like to know too! I saw something in one of the tips about long pressing on an object to bring up options, but doesn't seem to work. Can't find out anywhere how to change whether a shape is filled or just outlined.
I think S-note will be an amazing tool once I learn how to use it, but Samsung doesn't give a lot of help with learning it all...
Mine is doing the same thing now but it wasn't before the update. Bug maybe?
Mine also just seems to be the circles that come out solid......

I have tried to replicate the issue but mine does not do this, UK model and we don't have any upgrades since launch, yet...
I tried to replicate, but none of mine filled in and couldn't find a way to make them fill in.

I'm confused. Which tool are you guys using? Like toenail_flicker, if I use shape match to hand draw a circle (left) it doesn't fill by itself and isn't selectable for me to modify or fill it on my own. If I insert a shape (right) it still doesn't fill by itself but it is selectable and I can fill it if I want to.

I used the shape match tool for all the shapes in the screenshot. I cannot select and edit any of them. Some of the circles filled in as disks, and some remained only as outlines.
As far as I can tell the only shape that will fill itself in is a circle and then only if you are using the 2nd brush from the left. Any circles made with that brush filled in.
I could not get any squares to fill in.
Very odd.

If you pick the eraser tool then long press on any shape then you can change and adjust it. This works when you insert a box or circle but not sure with shape match. Will play around and report back.
I would like to keep the stock keyboard because it offers many things such as easy access to handwriting recognition, clipboard etc. However I find the text prediction maddening.
It clearly does not comprehend basic English usage.
For instance, a common word like "in". If I attempt to type "in" it will default to the much longer and rarely used word "instance". I have to manually select "in" if that is what I want. This is just one example. It seems to always default to the longest possible word. This is counter intuitive. It should default to the shortest possible word and build from there.
It also hasn't a clue as to basic spelling or punctuation.
I'd like to use this keyboard but this is intolerable. Any ideas one how to make this work better? Please no suggestions of other keyboards. I am aware of those. I just wish to make this one work.
Thanks

I have to admit, this is a real pain in the behind! It can be rather temperamental with things. But, I have a feeling that the way it's made is that it actually adapts to your handwriting. Mine is terrible yet it seems to get it right quite a lot.
From what I'm able to gather, the predictive text for the touch input keyboards does not apply. But, if you go into your keyboard settings > Handwriting. You can see that there are a few options. If you haven't been into this bit at all I recommend you take a look at it. You can change things such as recognition time, pen thickness, colour and the recognition type.
This type of thing is just something you need to keep practising at. I do agree with you that the punctuation is rather awful, though. Trying to put an exclamation mark in and constantly getting "i." is a pain! But, as far as handwriting recognition goes, this is the best I've seen in a long time. It's one of those things where developing something like that is really complex and needs to be incredibly fine tuned.
My handwriting is so horrific it would take a quantum computer a week to decipher. I can barely read it and I wrote it.
I miss the old days where you could change your keyboard in app. Having to go to Settings to change it seems like an odd design choice to me. If it were the old way I would just use Thumb Keyboard most of the time then switch over on the fly when I needed stock features.
** Update: Yes there is a way to change the keyboard in app. Just click the little keyboard icon on the status bar next to the clock. Cool

There's an 'input method switcher' hot button next to the clock whenever you're typing... it looks like a little keyboard, but you actually press the icon as opposed to it being in notifications like it does on a phone...

So, some of you actually use the predictive text on the stock keyboard? I tried it for a couple of days and found it intolerably bad -- more often than not, I found myself absolutely fighting with the predictive text to actually type what I wanted, and so gave up on it.
I miss having just the word suggestions as I type that I can select so I don't have to finish typing each word -- I don't really need predictive text, as I can actually type pretty fast on the Note 10.1, but the word suggestions would be nice to have without needing to use another keyboard.
I use 7notes with mazec for HWR and Swiftkey for text prediction. Very satisfied with both.

Swiftkey has never typed anything but gibberish for me on any device I have tried it.
You mentioned that before. I find that so odd. It does a great job for me. I have a lot of friends who use it, too, and they get excellent results. I doubt SwiftKey would have the sales and ratings they have if everyone had that experience. Have you emailed them about it?

It's not the greatest I've used but it's fine. It does seem to learn and gets better over time. In Mitch's example for "in" all you have to do is hit the space bar when "in" is highlighted in blue and it inserts it with a trailing space. Also, you can add words to the custom dictionary yourself which makes things a lot faster and more accurate.

Exactly! I find it giving me nonsensical predictions and I get kinda mad at it (sounds silly I know) but if you have ever used like for say, an original Asus Tf, you will find the responsiveness of this keyboard a godsend.
But one thing, this keyboard is actively learning our typing habits right? I'm using it as I speak and it seems more tolerable and accurate to my intentions. It's only really bad when I type something slighty off.
the whole GALAXY to NOTE about...counting down from 10 to 1.

My point is that it never highlights "in", it highlights "instance" by default. If I press the spacebar after typing the letters "in" it enters "instance". Very very odd default action to prefer the longer word. If I keep correcting "instance" to be "in" it finally seems to learn in that session. However, if I close the app and re-open it later it has forgotten and goes back to the old way.
Sadly, like so much Samsung software, it seems like they turned it in on the day it was due and not when it was done.
I love Samsung hardware. Like HTC, their software pretty much gets an incomplete.

That's wierd. On mine, the box on the far left tracks what I'm typing in blue. In your example I'd see "in" in blue while a bunch of suggested words would appear to the right. If I hit space bar or tap "in" while it's highlighted it inserts (only) what I've typed. The space bar turns blue (on mine) to show it's set up to bypass prediction. It's black normally. Are your settings set up like mine?
I don't know get predictions on my stock board only on SwiftKey

Yeah I know, it is bizarre. That's why I said at the start that I don't exclude the idea I have done something wrong here.
For some reason when I type, it is defaulting to the SECOND word on the list instead of the first. I know, right? Weird.
Ok, I just returned all settings to stock and this is what I get.
If I type "the" I get:
the | then | They | they | Then | there
It is highlighting the second word, not the first. Freakin WEIRD.

Yeah I have Thumb Keyboard. That is my preferred keyboard anyway. I'll just go with that and switch over to the stock keyboard when I need to use any of the custom features.
We'll just file this one under weird and leave it at that.
It uses short gestures instead of taps to get each key. You select each key rather than tap and hope for the best. It's a little difficult to explain but the video might be able to help with undershanding.
Key features:
-ability to quickly move the cursor by rotating.
-Ability to select text easily
-Copy, cut and paste shortcuts
-More special characters accessed by longpressing any key.
This is my first app I learned about android apps sloely to develop this. I found that everyone that dislikes this keyboard do so because they don't understand how it works I made a video explaining how to do the tutorial. Which you can find on the play store listing. I would really love to hear any questions, comments and especially suggestions that you have. I appreciate any sort of input you guys can give me and if you happen to like it a rating and/or review on thi play store would help me alot.
Also here is a list of things being worked on:
-select all and deselect all on clipboard menu(already done)
-resizing, moving aand undocking the keyboard
-Autocorrect and predictions shown on in a circular pattern around the keyboard.
-Because each key is a gesture instead of a tap even if you don't completely swipe over the line NovaKey will know what you are trying to type.

This keyboard is absolutely brilliant. :good:
Fantastic idea,.. i use it on my galaxy s4 cyanogen cm12 and my wife which was able to write smooth and fast with it already after only a couple of minutes when she first time used it on her galaxy s3 stock and she wan´t use anything else from now on.
I really hope the development of this great app will continue and that there will follow also different language for spelling
(in our case,.. German..).!
Just a question and suggestions:
I´m not able to find the "+" symbol.. so far....?
Hopefully the cursor on the grey background will be made a little more visible for blind people like me..... :cyclops:
Maybe also different color-designs to choose from.
Suggestions from my wife:
The letters that are used the most maybe should be the ones with the most easy to do gesture... makes it even faster..
Take a look at the letter frequencies of the English language for example:
e....12.702%
t.......9.056%
a.......8.167%
o.......7.507%
i........6.966%
n.......6.749%
s.......6.327%
h.......6.094%
r........5.987%
d.......4.253%
l........4.025%
c.......2.782%
u.......2.758%
m......2.406%
w......2.360%
f........2.228%
g.......2.015%
y.......1.974%
p.......1.929%
b.......1.492%
v.......0.978%
k.......0.772%
j........0.153%
x.......0.150%
q.......0.095%
z.......0.074%

Space could be double tap... for those with big fingers...
And maybe highlighting (colored) the symbol/letter which is in the circle when scrolling through the symbols... her finger always get´s in the way so that she doesn´t really see which one she has selected...

Thank You!
Thank You! I apologize for the late response. I really appreciate your suggestions and I'm glad you like my keyboard. I have gotten multiple requests so I will be adding German hopefully soon. Also, you will be able to resize and move the keyboard around so that might be more comfortable.
Oh and for "+" shift up from the numbers keyboard.
Thank You again!

Reminds me of 8pen. Interesting, but unfortunately can't beat the speed of regular tap-typing or swiping.
Keep going nethertheless for the coolness of it ;]
interesting concept, will give it a shot.
testing this keyboard, hopefully the developer didn't stop (last version from 28th of december)
New update from "v.cantu´s" amazing keyboard with many great improvements..!!!
Look above for the download-link on first post.
Btw..:
one more suggestion from my wife to the dev.. She tried the new version and finds it pretty cool...
Maybe you could implement the function that if you push a letter and hold it without moving it that it repeats the choosen letter several times...
so you can keep the option for choosing special characters but she doesn´t has to push for example letter "a" several times to get several "aaaaaa"....
Big thanks to the dev... :good:
What a great concept, too bad it was abandoned so quickly. Does anyone know of anything similar? The playstore is just choke full of glittery keyboard bull****, finding anything there is like looking for a needle in 10000 haystacks.
After switching to the Galaxy S10 phone, I noticed that the gallery photo editor application is robbed of its best features. it's so frustrating when these manufacturers just arbitrarily decide to screw up a good thing.
I constantly and I mean constantly use gallery photo editor and the eyedropper feature to select a custom color and then use the pen to edit out things in images I don't visible. I make them disappear by writing over them in the exact custom colors that already exist in the image. I choose that color with the eyedropper!
Now it seems you either have to overlay a text box over the top which flat out doesn't work because the new text box interface is so bulky and ridiculously lacking because it only has a very very few options. The NEW UNIMPROVED paint feature has ONLY 10 or so canned multicolor designs you can print with... WHO WANTS TO PAINT WITH MULTICOLOR DESIGNS? (KINDA DUMB, but okay)
1. Please don't tell me to go download it because I already look for it and it isn't there.
2. I already tried clicking the upper right corner and clicking advanced and then clicking the pencil to edit and then going through all the options inside that area and it's not there.
3. I've tried using the key combination to create a screenshot and several third-party apps to create screenshots in my efforts to find the eyedropper and it is not there.
4. Please don't tell me to go download Photoshop or some other app I don't want too; I just want my photo editor eye-dropper back!!
I use it constantly and I mean constantly 50 times a day! I take screenshots and edit out ads and things like text and hearts and stars to indicate the item is a favorite etc. using the eyedropper to select the custom background color and then the pen to write over the top of whatever it is you don't want visible makes it blend right into the background... THIS IS SO UNIMAGINABLY BASIC!
I be already spent weeks hunting for where the ability to add an image inside another image and finally was able to find it obscured in stickers area! I've searched and searched every possible conceivable section for any imaginable way they might have hid in the eye dropper and I just can't find it!!
I just want my eye dropper back! It's causing massive problems because I can't do what I need to do 100 times a day!!
Can someone within the limitations outlined above 1 through 4 please PLEASE tell me where the eyedropper went?!?
I'm in the SAAAAMMMME BOAT.
I manage several different social media accounts, and have used this feature FOR YEARS to edit out extraneous things. It was simple and easy.
Weirdly enough, it was there in November, so it kept my main sampled color as an option, WHICH IS THE ONLY WAY I can basically continue to do what I do. This has been a nightmare.
If you find anything out, PLEASE let me know.
I'll also do the same.
You mean this?
To do this?
Thanks ?
That option does not show up if you have selected the edit dialogue box to pop up after you screencap, as it used to.
But this is very helpful. THANK YOU!
