S-Note alternate with equally good sensitivity of Pen ? - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps

Is there any alternate to S-Note with equally good sensitivity in terms of pen. And widgets for any selected note ?
I've heard a lot about papyrus and have used it myself too, and have used a lot of others but never found any equivalent to S-Note.
is there any ?

Autodesk's SketchBook Pro. Made with SPen SDK from Note 3. It uses all features of the S-Pen (Note 1, 2 and 3) including AirView, Help Button and Pressure control. I'ts amazing and professional. You can do even a 4K resolution draw without problems. Download it (XDA is plaggued of his APK) and have fun!

SketchBook Pro is a drawing and schetching appm not a note taking app. I have tested almost everything there is... some come close to SNote but not better.
Check this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1798117
This is one is good but only in the paid version https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.steadfastinnovation.android.projectpapyrus

That's based in Spen SDK too, but its too similar to S-Note. Sketchbook Pro it's a lot more faster and have the same things as S-Note (Shapes, Figures, add Photos, etc draw with textures like Dirt Smoke, Grass etc and anything you want.

i like GNote. i always use it in tw and also in cm roms and it has s note sensitivity

If you are not very much in the drawing or S-pen thing then Google Keep is a very good alternate and the good thing is it is based on cloud and you will get it updated always among all your devices, i.e. (mobile, desktop, tablets, etc).

Try this one, DIONOTE it's very close to S-note but has other features as well. Designed to work with Spen as well.

[App] Papurys Beta... very nice free Note taking app.

In case you haven't seen it there's a very nice free note taking app called "Papyrus Beta". You can easily set it up so that you use the stylus to write and your finger to erase.

I like this. Very simple not to many bells and whistles.
I wish they would have an assign option to set different pen sizes. Meaning going from light to bold easier.but other than that I like it.
I can't wait to see what they add down the road. The video sounded like some good options will come.
I've been using this app a great deal and very much enjoy it. Great for taking notes and simple vector based sketching.

Yeah its great! Only needs image import and markers to make it a 5 out of 5.
I posted reviews of a bunch of different note taking apps here:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-note-10-1/202997-taking-notes.html
My biggest problem with Papyrus is that it does not support exporting/sharing a multi-page note as multiple PNG files. It will only export multi-page notes as a multi-page PDF.
I'd say it needs that plus also a (much better) way to add text to a note (similar to how you can with S-Note) before it's a 5 of 5.
Very useful app.

other good drawing apps for galaxy note 10 s pen

I like the s note but it dont have alot of features i was wondering if there is sny more apps out there
hello, i think i can help you since i only bought this tablet for sketching.
the apps i use are the following :
sketchbook pro, layer paint, infinite paint, tvpaint.
sketchbook pro is the best app for sketching, only 5€. the good points are the powerfull brush engine that allows you to do smooth lines, it s the best app for drawing, the interface is very user friendly. You can also export your sketch in psd. The cons are that you can t change the canvas size so you are limited to 1280xsomething and you can only make 6 layers (why i wonder...).
layer paint 2€ is an alternative to sketchbook and very powerful too, brushes are smooth but not as much as sketchbook, you can make a lot of layers and canvas size is unlimited (don't try too wide). It has less tools than SBP so it's less flexible when you want to correct something. I don't know why but i don't like the brush engine, not very natural... some might like it though
infinite paint is very basic and rough but it has interesting brushes that allow you to make funny drawings
tv paint is the most powerfull app and has the best brush engine of all but it's a beta so the interface is terrible, it's an animation software so you have to learn how to use it. it's free so just try it.
some of my sketches: first is sketchbook pro, 3 others are layerpaint. you see the first one is much smoother.
At the play store there 2 free infinite paint apps do you know what the difference is?

[Q] Doubts before buying: s-pen compatibility & more

I am thinking about buying the Note 10.1, but I will want to put a custom rom (CM), I am afraid that S-Pen will not work (which is mainly why I am thinking of buying the tablet).
Does S-Pen work (or expected to work, based on Note Phones experience) with custom roms? (In particular, with Non-touchwizd roms)
Is S-Pen (and palm rejection) only compatible with Samsung programs?
Thank you
S-Pen works fine on the AOKP rom - RR rom... It works on all apps, though some are designed for it. You can use handwriting as a default on the stock samsung keyboard, it just turns it to normal text in most writing programs... S-notes, 7notes and a few others allow you to write freehand and don't change it to text... They allow you to write a note in your own handwriting.
The s-pen has an "s-pen" API that Samsung has open sourced, but is not a part of the android stack. There are noticeable differences in how Photoshop reads the pen on cm10 vs Samsung branded 4.0.4. If the s-pen api were to be integrated into our cm10, it should fix all these problems. I found it worth reverting to stock as how Photoshop has updated to include responsiveness that the s-pen API affords. (Jumping between pressure levels that I know I can render with a pencil) basically android's wacom driver isn't as sophisticated as Samsung's s-pen API. I'm guessing here is where the problem is, but it's a noticeable difference, or I wouldn't mention it.
That said, don't let cm10 determine whether you get this thing or not. I'm pleasantly surprised at how subdued touchwiz has become, though I use apex launcher (which doesn't stop multi window, pop out windows, etc)

New S-Pen optimized Image Editor Beta RELEASED

I am close to releasing my Image Editor for Android called ImageFactory.
I am thinking of releasing a version without SPen libraries on the Play Store and another with the SPen libraries (much larger) on the Samsung App store.
Any ideas on if this is a good idea?
The SPen libraries really add to the size of the app.
Anyway, the app is a Photo Editor with paint tools, filter tools, and multiple floating layers including Image Layers, Text Layers, and Vector Layers.
The SPen support includes hover emulating moving the virtual mouse (a float brush icon that is see through when trimming layers) and uses the button on the pen to emulate left button/right button by click, letting you change from fore-ground color to back-ground color, as well as toggle between trimming layers by brush and untrimming layers by brush.
It supports large heap (meaning huge multi-mega-pixel images).
It has an image surface on the left, a toolbar on the top right, and a scroll pad/mouse pad on the bottom right.
It only needs some more icons and a little more debugging.
Any interest?
UPDATED: 12/16/2012 with latest version
UPDATED: 12/24/2012 with latest version with bug fixes and improved help
UPDATED: 12/30/2012 with possible release candidate with more features and bug fixes. View source of vector works, 2nd click on edit text now brings up soft keyboard. Toggle pan view and trackpad put on edit ribbon.
UPDATED: 1/1/2012 extended beta good till march, took out full screen so title bar with menu button shows. menu has undo/redo zooms trackpad or panview.
UPDATED: 1/6/2012 with fixes to properly stopping background thread (which caused problems on 2nd+ runs) and added action bar with undo and zoom in/out icons

It's actually close enough to being released. Maybe I will do a version good till the end of the year.
I've been working on on android for a year but on windows for several.
I am thinking of making it free but with an in app purchase to unlock layers.
What do people think?
I also think the ui is worth trying to protect. Maybe a patent.

Can you make a portion of the screen like the bottom half ignore the hand while keeping the working area free to move around and zoom in and out with buttons. I seems that should be much easier than trying to work with palm rejection?

I feel like that would just mean the app won't utilize the difference between the spen and capacitive stylii. I mean, the whole reason I stopped using my adonit jot was because I didn't like having to keep my palm off the screen, or only leaving my palm on one part of the screen..

It would allow the app to be used with devices that do not have the palm rejection of the GNote10 and since the palm rejection does not really work that well even in S-Note it would offer an improved writting experience with the GNote10. The S-Pen will always write better than any capacitive pen even the Adonit Jot Pro which I also have and like but not for the GNote10 because of how much better the S-Pen is.
ID say play store for sure for both versions . Maybe a beta here on. Xda before final release. Also ID say make a free version with as many good features as possible then an unlock version to unlock only the most advances user features not everyone might use....

I am thinking i am going to try to build a beta this weekend and put it up here. Probably with all features except with an expiry date and maybe take out saving in jpeg and png.
How do i post the file if i do it that way?
Then the releave version will be free but with layers requiring an in-app purchase to unlock.

I'd still allow saving png or jpeg in beta but go with an expiration date ... then for your final version I'd maybe include 2 layers or even 3 in free but allow many more in the paid version. Maybe a few other advanced features can only be included in the paid as well

Just an idea for you on the palm rejection bit. In lecture notes you can basically turn off inputs other than the stylus for certain (almost all) tasks. I find this to work really well actually. Currently the only things i allow touch inputs on are the tool bar items. I prefer this method personally as i have had palm rejection issues in apps that only reject when the pen is in range.
That's my idea.

I have a custom file format that keeps the layers seperate that i plan on leaving in. So you can still save your work but i dont risk losing future sales.
Maybe the free version will allow layers but not let you paste them (for when saving as a jpeg and gif).
SO MANY DECISIONS! This is why i am having trouble releasing this on the market! (that and icons).

What did Samsung think?! S-NOTE, ACTION MEMO, SCRAPBOOK - and their unpractical usage

Hi folks!
This thread will just be about me grumbling about some of our beloved Notes functions - especially the S-Pen "core apps".
My question is: What did Samsung think with integrating two dictinct apps which rather should have been developed as one (and could have been developed as one so EASY)? This is what we do have now:
1.) Action Memo:
- Cool functions (e.g. saving numbers to contacs)
- VERY restricted in formating (pensize, pen style etc)
- Can be opened from the s-pen actions menu
- Can be choosed to be opened instead of the s- pen actions menu after detaching the S-Pen (this function was reserved for the S-Note on the Note 2) (S-Note popup)
- Can only be synced to samsung
- Notes are sorted in a list - but NO WIDGET
2.) S- Note
- No "cool functions"
- many format options (pens, colors, pensize, picture etc)
- Can not be opened from the S-Pen actions menu
- Can not be choosed to be opened after detaching the S-Pen anymore (S-Note popup)
- Can be synced to samsung and evernote
- Notes are sorted in a list - WIDGET IS AVAILABLE.
3.) Scrapbook
--> just a THIRD app with just ONE MORE function, which could have been integrated in e.g. S-Note as well.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why didn´t they got it managed to have one app to "rule them all"? Wouldnt that have been MUCH better and much more logical!?
One app, that can be immediately accessed form the menu/after detaching the s-pen, which can be used as a notepad, with all the functions and with a widget? Now I always have to decide which app I´m going to use. If it has to be fast, I am forced to use action memo (where I have to go without formating options), wherelse I always prefere S-Note when there is "the time to open it up".
Yes, I know, there ist e.g. Papyrus or /and the S-Pen buddy. But this is not the topic.
If I remember a similar topic was added here and a moderator closed it because there is no point... no offence but if all people liked the phone or its features than samsung would be the only company selling phones.
Peace!

Well, there is a point. If no one opens up such threads (*****ing about their software) , they have no reason at all to change things.
Closing such threads is not usual on xda, perhaps the OP didn't make his point clear. Otherwise, I would be surprised.
Well, there is actually an action memo widget. Just saying.
And action memo was designed to take memos, or quick, and usually short, bits of information. Hence why you have such a variety of 'actions' to deal with bits of information. S-Note is now designed more as a notebook, we're you can keep a wealth of information, organize it all, etc.
I agree it would have been nice to have a single app to do it all, but then you have to start thinking were do you draw the line between different apps, or lumping everything s-pen related into a single app. The bigger the app, the longer it's going to take to load, index and display everything. Keeping things to small packages for quick tasks was probably the best way to go.
I personally like the separation of the two. I use action memo for jotting down bits of information I need right away, and then just get rid of it later, like a quick phone number, work appt. Or small list of grocery items. I use S-Note to hold detailed information about work I do, neatly organized and synced with evernote (which I'm really liking btw).
I doubt complaining will get something like this changed. Either get used to it and use it or don't.
Just my 2 cents. Not saying your wrong on the matter in a personal sense, but there's logic to why they did what they did.
Sent from my SM-N900W8 using xda app-developers app
I like the segregation of Action Memo & S Note. Divides long form & short form. Coming from the Note II, I wished it had done this, as quickly jotted down thoughts are quite different from longer form, fleshed out ideas. You can still open Action Memo using the hold-button, double-tap action from the Note II as well.

I think you might be missing something from the very core of it - Action Note is not so much a real "note in a notebook" as a "post-it note" (term is TM by 3M - which explains why Samsung can not use it).
I only discovered how handy those Action Notes are when I left one minimized - it will "stick" to your screen everywhere just as if you placed a physical Post-It on your monitor.
My main gripe on that is that you can not change (default) pen width, also you can not write normal text and most important you can only have ONE minimized note on the screen
I agree there are issues. Action Memo is a nice idea but the actions are far too limited. Why not use standard android sharing so I can tweet a note for example. If I don't use Google Tasks then I can't create a task. At present I can't even copy text to the clipboard.
The key missing feature though is the ability to transfer the note over into S Note. At present if I start a note in Action Note and then decide it's a full note there isn't a thing I can do other than write the text out again as a result I don't touch it at all.
Also why not allow the actions from S Note?
The same is true for Scrap Booker. A nice feature which I don't touch because it doesn't integrate with anything else or sync to other devices.

Actually you can "Send" the Action Note (from the list view) to a number of destinations, including S Note (where it remains as a separate thing but still is a start).

I didn't know that. Not ideal as it converts the note to an image but better than nothing.
So far my preferred method is sending the action note to the browser and then copying it back out from the search box.

You are right - it is just usable with TouchWiz and it is just ONE note, the S-Note Widget is usable with all launchers and you can get an overview about all your notes. My bad, but as everywhere --> it is inconsistent

You see, that´s the point: You were able to use S-Note for quick memos with the Note 2 as well - the S-Note popup was PERFECT for these kinds of notes! Why should Action memo be better in any ways? I don´t think that there is a "pro" here (just IMAO).

This is how I used S-Note with my Note 2: Quite a big number of notebooks like "ToDo", "groceries", "university", "important", "ideas" etc. (keep the folder function in mind as well), most of them placed on the desktop either as widget or as shortcut. It was just nice - optimized with the action memo functions it would have been just perfect

Yeah, well, S-Note was perfect for "post it notes" as well (S-Note popup ) - in the end it should be the user who decides if he/she wants to write a short note (blank sheet) or e.g. to develop a more complex mindmap or something...do you really need two seperate programs for that?!

The first two points are going in line with what I mean. Action memo is just too simple in its functions to justify the "second app thing", as there already is such a mighty tool like S-Note.

Absolutely correct, I totally forgot to mention scrapbook - which I hardly use at all for the same reasons. Good idea - but why not just include it in S-Note? It is just an additional function - but here we go, a third app (?!).

Yeah, and it would have been so easy to think about such tasks beforehand. The Note is one of samsungs premium devices ("the" premium device?) - don´t lynch me, but at this point samsung should take apple as an example.
Action Memo can quiuckly export the memo to Evernote, in a new note that can be freely editted.
S Note creates EN notes for its notes, but they have only a blob pic and no changes can be done to that note.
For me, S Note is junk. EN isn't as pretty, but is WAY more functional. I can create notes on any PC and read and edit them on my phone, and vise-versa. S Note ignores notes that weren't created by it and its notes can't be edited anywhere else.
I use sketch book for galaxy. It's much better for hand writing and it works with cyanogenmod too. I bought it from Sammy hub awhile ago when they gave us free credit.
dont forget the thanks button if I helped out!!

Yeah, well, Sketchbook is known as one of the best DRAWING apps, but as a note taking tool? Hmm,...
No sync, no nice gallery (yeah there is a gallery, but...)...
one only widget

Thank you all for your inputs!
You are right - it is just usable with TouchWiz and it is just ONE note, the S-Note Widget is usable with all launchers and you can get an overview about all your notes. My bad, but as everywhere --> it is inconsistent
You see, that´s the point: You were able to use S-Note for quick memos with the Note 2 as well - the S-Note popup was PERFECT for these kinds of notes! Why should Action memo be better in any ways? I don´t think that there is a "pro" here (just IMAO).
This is how I used S-Note with my Note 2: Quite a big number of notebooks like "ToDo", "groceries", "university", "important", "ideas" etc. (keep the folder function in mind as well), most of them placed on the desktop either as widget or as shortcut. It was just nice - optimized with the action memo functions it would have been just perfect
Yeah, well, S-Note was perfect for "post it notes" as well (S-Note popup ) - in the end it should be the user who decides if he/she wants to write a short note (blank sheet) or e.g. to develop a more complex mindmap or something...do you really need two seperate programs for that?!
You are absolutely right, a great implementation!! :highfive:
The first two points are going in line with what I mean. Action memo is just too simple in its functions to justify the "second app thing", as there already is such a mighty tool like S-Note.
Absolutely correct, I totally forgot to mention scrapbook - which I hardly use at all for the same reasons. Good idea - but why not just include it in S-Note? It is just an additional function - but here we go, a third app (?!).
You see - "still a start" - it looks to me as they just collected some ideas and coded an app for each of them^^ This is not well-conceived, it is just a collection of ideas in different apps.
Yeah, and it would have been so easy to think about such tasks beforehand. The Note is one of samsungs premium devices ("the" premium device?) - don´t lynch me, but at this point samsung should take apple as an example.

action memo can put one only widget in the desktop, but you can browse all notes in the same widget swiping up with the pen.

There is solution buddy and is the following.
On Note 2, after detaching the pen the simple Memo appears. On the left upper corner there is an arrow. By clicking on that arrow, it opens the full featured S Note.
On Note 3, when pen is detached and simple memo appears, just click on the right bottom site, where it writes an "s". Then again the full featured S-Nite page will appear.
