Just discovered spen toolbox in the play app store. It's not advertised to work on the note 4, but it works fine.
It allows you to use you're own custom sounds for removing and replacing your spen, and can also pop up a mini menu of apps you use you're spen on. In addition, your note can not only turn on with spen removal, but also shut off on replace.
It can even auto launch an apk on remove, but I find in using the spen more and more.
There is a shutoff delay on the free version, and no delay if you pay the $2.60 or so for the unlocked version.
I was so happy it worked flawlessly, I was happy to pay for full, even though it's high for limited functionality.
So now can use light Saber startup sounds, muscle car sounds, or ghostbusters proton pack sounds.!
Here's the play link:

Sounds good. I'll give it a try. I miss the Star Wars light saber sound when I used the S-Pen on my note 2!
what about GMD s pen control from the note 3?

oh, excited for no reason
For the Developer Edition (IF rooted), I just downloaded the GMD Spen Control app. Almost $6 USD but WOW what that thing does! Some of the best money I've spent in a long time. Actually, I spent none of my own money: I have Google Rewards app, which pays cash into my Google account for taking surveys on my phone... so I used that!
Anyway, I highly recommend both apps. That said:
Does anyone here have the OGG files for the lightsaber start and stop? I'd love to throw that into the sound library - THANKS!
You can use any wav or mp3 file as well. I currently have the ghostbusters proton pack startup and shutdown sounds on my note.
Does the root app offer any additional functionality?

That's awesome, just set it up for mine!
I bought this, awesome, Love it!
I use the sounds and pop-up mini window, like it better then the stock one.
and I use smart screen off, so if screen was off it goes off if screen was on stays on.
Super Find!
I saw lag a few times on playback on remove and replace, but think I found the cure, just like the "ok Google" delay.
It's the stock touchwiz launcher.. install Nova, and they go away completely, and OK Google launches like 10 times faster!
There's nothing that makes me feel more stupid than saying ok google, and my phone just sitting there doing nothing like a rock.
Hey,
I checked that app and bought it. It is excellent. Thanks for sharing it. I am hiring a mobile application development company to another application like this for iPhone.

True, but they work just like a finger touch does. There is no extra button to launch a nenu, not pressure sensitivity, and no way for the device to detect you even have a stylus.
That's why it makes no sense at all to me to try to replicate the app on an iphone...it depends on hardware support of a stylus, not just using a simple capacative pen.

might be helpfull ... might be not, I installed TouchScreenTune (Galaxy Note) and donated 2$ to have registered version (keeps settings after screen unlock + applied upon reboot) which does a great job on fixing SPen calibration issue, it did made a difference on mine after I took a few minutes to find the best settings on my unit
Hope this helps

5$ is overpriced for that worthless app. There are FREE touchscreen boosters on the Market and the spen calibration is placebo.

Yes, you can erase with pen or finger. You can also delete annotation by pressing on the annotation with spen and choose option to delete in a pop up window that appears.
This worked for both Galaxy Note 1 and Galaxy Note 2.
By eraser, do you mean the other end of the S-PEN with the eraser? S-PEN 8PI with eraser

Oh I see what you mean. "S-Pen with eraser" does look cool! Kind of pricy at $40 to have that capability. Although I might consider it if I lost my S-pen. Anyways, sorry, I misunderstood your question. I had just selected erase option when in ezPDF Reader.
Those of you using a "Smart Stay" app on your Nexus 5, which one are you using. This is the only feature from Galaxy S4 I miss (I kept all the other crap turned off on that phone). I noticed there's a few in the Play Store. What's everyone having the best luck with? I want my screen timeout set at 30 secs, but don't want the screen going off when I've looking at the display. Thanks for any suggestions.

Wow, nobody is using this feature? Is there another alternative people are using on the N5 to keep the screen on while readings, etc.
Thanks.

I'm giving Gravity Screen a try. It sounds pretty promising. I'm having some trouble getting it dialed in though. Any tips? What features of it are you using. I've got the "Turn off when laying flat on the table" option working well. I'm having trouble with setting it for the screen to turn off when phone is in pocket. Default angle is set at like 60 degrees I believe. However with the size of the phone, my phone is more vertical in my pocket.
I'm going to continue to try and tweak it, but thought you might be able to make some suggestions since it sounds like you've been using the app for awhile. Thanks.

When your phone is in your pocket, full volume notifications are necessary if you don't want to miss a message. But when you already have your phone out and unlocked, there's no need for them to be loud and annoying, especially if you're already using the app they originate from (e.g. message apps).
Awake/Sleep Volume Adjuster lets you set custom notification volume levels for when your phone is asleep and when it's awake.
This is my first app, so I apologize for any issues it may have, but I hope people will find it useful. Either way, it's been nice to have just for myself!
Nice idea, but ram hungry!

Does this effect battery life at all? This is a great idea for an application. I hate when I almost crap my pants from a notification being too loud! I hope this app does well and has many more updates in the future.

I will be getting a note edge and currently my wife has a LG g3 and I love the knock knock feature to turn it on. Does anybody know if the note edge has a similar feature to knock or swipe the side edge screen to turn it on? If not I plan on developing an app to accomplish that, if the sdk allows.

I would say this regarding battery drain... I have not rooted my wife's G3 and she uses the knock knock feature roughly 100 times per day lets say on average. Her battery has never been less than 45% with super heavy usage. Usually around 73% by the time she gets home at 5:15.
She plays games, Keeps the brightness on 90% (no auto), checks emails/texts/IM a bunch, pinterest, facebook, keeps the gps on, bluetooth off. So I would say it doesn't drain the battery enough to complain about if barely at all. Now, maybe LG built this feature into the firmware or something i don't know about, where it doesn't need the screen and maybe it uses one of the ICs that detect vibration or something.
On the 6.0 update?
For me...
1. Faster fingerprint reader/unlock animation
2. New keyboard layout
3. Finally having an option to switch to pin code for alternative option if fingerprint isnt working
4. Adjustments on touchwiz
5. Google now on tap
6. New emojis
7.Faster phone ?? (hopefully)
Is speed an issue? My Note5 is smooth and quick. *shrug* Now on Tap is actually pretty cool. I don't use a protective lock screen so I don't know about that. I'd like to be able to activate Samsung Pay with a swipe up from the S-View window, but that won't happen.

Speed is definitely not an issue lol, but there are somethings that need a speed improvement.. such as the fingerprint reader. I just hope i dont see any lag. Im assuming you use Find my mobile? if you dont use a protective lock screen. And i dont use samsung pay or NFC payment for that matter, but i understand your struggle haha.
I could root my device, but i choose not to. Reason being is it will possibly lose value once Knox has been tripped.

I do use Find my Mobile but I also use this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rickclephas.fingersecurity to lock certain apps. It only locks those apps when I am not connected to my WiFi or my cars Bluetooth. Maybe with the new fingerprint API I'll lock the whole phone up.
I also noticed when watching marshmallow beta for s6/s6 edge is that the capacitive buttons dont light up when touching the screen... which is a smart move from samsung. It saves battery and it makes sense. It only lights up when pressing them or when pressing the home button.

Actually it makes no sense, whatsoever. The entire point of the capacitive buttons lighting up when you touch the screen is so you can see them in the dark in order to press them.. lighting up when you touch them makes zero sense, why would I need them to do THAT?

They didn't light up because it was a Beta and the rooted kernel broke it even more on some devices, but made them work better on other devices. There's also mods you can use to just turn them off if you don't like them. Xposed. Or just go into the settings!!!
Also, just because you don't like them being on, doesn't mean that they are pointless. Tests have also been done to see just how much battery life is affected by Capacitive buttons and you can't even tell how much they use.
By the way, a lot of people like myself, work in dark places and have to use our phones. Think about that for a minute.:good:
The only thing I'm looking forward to is a phone that doesn't get an update and have it cause the phone to be worse than before. Right now my stock Note 5 works just fine.
