The guys who created holo launcher made an actual jellybean based lock screen. It's working great on my note.
Thought to share it with the community for more jellybean goodies.

Thanks. Using it now. I don't use camera app much, so hate having it on my home screen. But, when out and about, it is nice to be able to quickly capture those important moments. Thus, having the camera shortcut on the lock screen is handy.

Great!!! Thanks :-D
not able to set a separate lock screen wallpaper using this screen locker.
thanks, it's great!
Only I can not choose lockscreen wallpaper, hope in next versions it will be available, also more unlock options
I think they r working on many of those issues and missing features.
At least it's a lock screen where we r not forced to have a launcher installed. And it's very smooth as well.

Is there a switch in the settings which prevent the home button unlocking phone when on the lockscreen but otherwise allows the home button to act as normal?

Hi guys!
I got my Note yesterday and after I've upgrade it to the new Android version I've got the new SNote as well and I'm not a fan! My palm is accidentally zooming when I rest it against the screen in a way the previous one didn't and the buttons at the top bar was much more intuitive to me.
Any other with the same problem and maybe a solution? I am open to new better apps as well, I've tried LectureNotes but as an engineering student I'm really in to the SNote shape/function/search the web functionality and I have not seen any app that's anywhere near SNote considering that.
Thanks in advice!

You can disable hand writing so only the s pen is activated, the button can be located at the lower right side of the screen just right of the add page button. The symbol is a hand. Hope this help

Thanks! That was the first thing I did, but the zoom is still active at least when the pen isn't near (14mm/~1 inch or what it might be) and in reality I don't have the pen that close to the screen at all times. The strange thing is that I didn't have these problems with the previous model, maybe they changed it in some way when they added the "pinch to delete page" functionality? And besides I liked the little arrow that completely minimized the toolbar and gave me a blank screen to write on which have now mysteriously disappeared.
I think there is an apk file with the previous version somewhere but even though I've been Google it for the last hour I can't find one! Anyone who has it on their tablet?

hi, i gt the same problem, eng student too, apparently alot of users have same problem, its been around before we got the update in uk, since aug 2012 as far as i know, i tried many apps, paperus might be a gd one for us but it aint as good as s note, i emailed samsung and i think if alot of users does so something might happen to improve it, or if any devs could jus take the zooming option out,
would you mind emailing samsung so that they could get a massive user feed back.

Exactly, to me the ideal is to have a blank piece of paper and be able to put the tools needed (maybe different pens and the function/shape thing) as floating boxes just like you do at CAD programs etc. SNote got just that, and to be honest SNote was a huge part of why I bought this tablet in the first place. Now it's kinda useless though...

I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one having troubles or disliking the new SNote, the more that have problems the faster a solution will appear I hope. I have actually only tested LN besides SNote, mostly because LN is great in any way but SNote it isn't. It doesn't have the mathematical function recognizer nor the shape recognizer and just doesn't seems to work as well with the rest of the system. Like the "screenshot, drag and drop" that works like a charm in SNote where I can look something up at Wolfram and paste it to my notes. It does have some advantages over SNote though, I feel the pure writing is better on LN and it have for example the really simple but so useful feature of "select part/text and move it", more easy to customize background etc.
Not at all! I thought of the same thing myself, I just wanted to check if I was the only one having this problems. But the easiest and by far fastest way to deal with it would of course be if anyone had an Old SNote apk file to install. Adding a "lock zoom and pan" option won't solve the problem with the whole new version suck, and I think getting them to get back to previous versions will be difficult.

That's actually not a bug I think, you can adjust the screen brightness in many apps individually. I'm not quite sure where in the new SNote though..

I got a reply from Samsung Sweden today where they apologized and told me that I, for a cost, could get the previous SNote version if I got the tablet to a service center. On one hand I think it's great that they actually give the customers the option of having the previous version back but on the other I think it's rubbish having to pay for it when it it because the new one is working like ****. There might be a chance that the downgrade will just be a couple of bucks but I'm afraid it won't.
I'm going to reply to Samsung once again, this time with a movie I've made that illustrates the problem with the shape and math identifier. To be continued..

This is obviously a solution however to me this isn't an option since I think everything from the general flow to the multiscreen capabilities is that much better than on ICS and even though SNote is a big part of this tablet LectureNotes is not far behind. But don't get me wrong, I wanna have both of them working!
I made a simple video that illustrates the problem with the shape and math identifier, even though that's just a small bit of the problem with the new SNote feel free to use it for example in contact with Samsung!

Thanks for your answer!
No it's not, I've got 4.1.1 and have the version 5r16958FV03 so it's not even close. However, I don't think everyone's got these strange problems and I don't have them all the time either. But it's way too often to be acceptable, especially since the precious one didn't have any problems what so ever (as far as I could tell).
Have you noticed any other bugs or are your version of SNote a stable functional one?
Another thing I noticed now when I looked up the version of SNote is that I have not one but two "programs" named SNote, the main one of 8.8MB and another one of about a quarter of a MB. Is it possible that the smaller one is the upgrade? I couldn't disable it in any way unfortunately, and when I forced it to stop nothing happened in SNote but that might be because it started up again.

I never before had a gadget that I loved more the longer I owned it. The Note 10.1 will stay with me for a long, long time. Every day a new discovery. Thnx for this surprise of the day.
Now if only the resolution was better and had palm rejection.

I tried it on a note 10 and after starting the app, sometimes I activate it in the left bottom corner I cannot see what Iam doing unless I change anything (color, tool, delete), then what I wrote or painted show up. (Android Revolution HD ROM)
Also an adjustable size of the pen / brush would be cool. Oh, and to forward / share the taken image to any other app I want.
And last but not least some better high definition pics same size would be awesome.
edit. Yeah, palm rejection must-need and that the android back button is usable. Well, it lights up but the app does'nt react.
But so far, useful - because it's not a screenshot I annotate, it's an overlay to a running screen.
Hope the creator will read this.

Maybe because there aren't many spen tablets out there so far.
You can take a screenshot and annotate just by pressing and holding the S-Pen button & hold the S-Pen on the screen.
So unless you need the background to be active, You probably don't need this extra software

After you write on something just take a snapshot and share it. I do get the brush size request, but this is a nice start. No issues you are describing using stock JB. But I don't use it every day either to notice it.

You can leave a note on your home screen in your own writing. Good for video creation on YouTube while doing a live filmed demo in realtime, as a whiteboard or blackboard presentation.
I have created this little app out of frustration with the hardware buttons on my Galaxy S3. I don't really mind the back, menu, or Home button implementations but I am really annoyed because of the implementation of the recent apps. On a Galaxy S3, we all know that one has to press the hardware home key for a while to open the recent apps view. This greatly hampers multitasking and, honestly, it even turned me off of the idea of multitasking using the recent apps view.
But I recently used a friend's Galaxy Nexus and found that the recent apps view was not only very convenient to switch between apps, but also very effective. And the convenience was amplified by the fact that the recent apps button was ever present on the phone's screen. So I decided to implement something similar for my phone.
I came across STANDOUT , a library made by Mark Wei (xda member pingpongboss) which perfectly suited my needs for this app and made creating this app a breeze. Thanks a lot Mark!!
So here is my app called "FLYING RECENTS". It is a floating button that does nothing but open the default recent apps view. It is draggable via the handle attached at its bottom, it is semi-transparent so as to not be too distracting, and it can be closed by clicking its notification in the notification shade. Go ahead. Give it a try. I am sure people with hardware buttons will appreciate the utility of this app once they use it. Do offer suggestions if any, and I will try to incorporate them into the app as much as i can.
Made for a Galaxy S3. Ideal use case is for phones like Galaxy Note, Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy S4, etc. All phones with hardware buttons running Android 4.0+ benefit from this app.
UPDATE: Version 1.01 includes a better looking drag handle. Thanks to pratyush997 for the suggestion!!
UPDATE: Version 1.02 includes a transparent notification bar icon.

Very very nice, been looking for a while for something like this.
I have a suggestion Don't u think it would be more practical and less obstructive if it was more like a gesture based launcher (like swipepad, sidebarpro).
We set it up that once u swipe from the home button upwards the screen, it will launch the recent apps. I've tried many apps but none were perfect for that simple task.
Thx for the nice app, would be appreciated if u can consider my suggestion.

Trust me it was my original aim to make this app just like that (i.e. dragging the button itself) but I cannot for the life of me make it draggable. That is why I had to include the handle. Feel free to suggest any coding workarounds if you can. It would greatly benefit me.

As far as I can tell, adding the back button is not possible without rooting. But i will get back with the home button implementation soon.
Are there any text messaging apps with a quick reply feature like in stock that I don't need root to install? I have an HTC One and came from a Galaxy Nexus and miss that feature so much. I've tried some other apps, but nothing seems to have the ability to swipe down on a notification in the notification bar and reply like that without having to go into the app. The closest I've seen is the constant notification quick message thing in Handcent.
