When you take a screenshot, you're taken to a little app that allows you to annotate and share/save/discard your screenshot. Pretty handy.
What is this app, and how can I access it without taking a screenshot? For example, I'd like to be able to launch it from the gallery to mark up a photo, but the only option seems to be PS touch (which has terrible palm rejection), or Skitch (ditto).
Clearly the app exists... so why can't I use it whenever I want?

It's wierd the way screenshots are managed. If you take a screenshot using the soft key it goes directly to the gallery and skips the editing tool you're describing. Choosing edit from the menu in the gallery sends it to PS. If you take a screenshot with the pen the sceenshot appears along with the annotation and editing tools. But that's your only chance to edit it without having to send it to another app. Why it works that way is a good question.

I have discovered that if you long press on the soft key, it also goes to the editing tool.
Also not ideal but is a workaround due to us not being able to bring up the editing app at will; what you can do is take a screen shot of the picture that you want to annotate and then carry out any necessary edits you wish to do on the picture . The original picture can then be deleted if it is not required.
Did nother know that one. Thanks.

wow I also so wish this could be implemented.
Does anyone know of a good app in the store that could also do this? a simple clean app with annotation features that could be opened from gallery.
hopefully one of those awesome dev guys finds a way of extracting it somehow.
So found a new app, which is very good looking and almost perfect.

I have a follow-up question here. I am new to Note 10.1, and my device is on JellyBean 4.1.2, the latest USA OTA update, WiFi-only.
My problem is that after taking a screenshot with S Pen and annotating it, there is NO direct "Share" button on the screen. The only option seems to be Cancel or Done at the upper-right corner, with Done saves to folder in the Gallery, so I have to again go into Gallery again and share from there in order to shared the annotated screenshot.
I saw a video taken on Note II phone that there is a Share button at the bottom of the annotation screen, and press it would save the editing and bring up the normal share list of application.
Am I missing something here?
thanks,
Hey,
I thought about how sweet would it be if there was an app that can use the handwriting great ability using the s pen on the note 3 and combine it with another app that allow to use the s note(or any other similar app) as a wallpaper. this will allow me to use the wallpaper as a blackboard in a single press and see the changes automaticaly on the screen.
I searched a lot on every forum that i know if anyone found a solution for this and coudnt see any.
obviosly i can use the s note and then screencapture - set it as a wallpaper. After giving it a shot i found its uncomfortable and i will gave up on that idea as im looking for something more friendly without all that mess.
Any suggestions?

I have now. Allthough its pretty good it doesn't seem to help my issue as i need it to change it on the wallpaper.
I mean that if it would just auto save the screen captured to be the wallpaper it would be IT.
But it doesn't and so i'm left witht he same ritual of set to wallpaper.
Thanks though.
Any other suggstions?
Just wanted to drop this here to help people out who are dealing with broken buttons or simply want a shortcut to take a screenshot without using the normal button combo.
This app is for 4.0 (ics) and above and does require root.
I used the terminal command to take a screenshot rather than code another way to take screenshots so it should work with any device.
If it doesn't work with your device then your rom must not use standard Android terminal commands and you will have to find out what the command for your system is and use the tasker code I will link below to make your own. (not that hard - it's how I made this)
Usage : tap icon or launch via your choice of gesture launcher.
App will wait 1.5 seconds then take a screenshot and display a toast to let you know it is done or if it failed.
Tasker task usage: unzip file and import task - modify and use how you see fit.
How I use this app:
Lg stock rom has a shortcut on the nav ring called quick memo that takes a screenshot. I find this very useful on my Verizon g2 as the buttons are in the back and Verizon insisted on making them smaller so they looked better (I guess that was the reason). I switched to a aosp rom and missed this so I did some searching and found this command for tasker. I did a little tweaking and exported as an app and use slide launcher to provide a shortcut to it.
Bump! Anybody have any feedback? Ideas, suggestions, gripes?
How to you implement the tasker shortcut? Ex... I have the galaxy S6 and there is no xposed framework as of now which doesn't allow me to make a shortcut on the power menu. So I wanted to link the shortcut to long pressing the home button via tasker. Is this possible?
Where it saves the screenshot at Resurrection ROM -a custom rom-?
It gave me that it successfully took the screenshot but i can't find where it saved the it.
It asked for root permissions.

Sorry for the long silence! I no longer have a rootable phone but it either creates a "screenshot" folder or just saves to the normal location that screenshots save to on your ROM - but some ROMs won't scan every folder except on boot . I will look into improving this function but I can't promise anything since root is required and I don't have root .

No Problem, I had found where it stores the screenshot. But i find that it sometimes appear in the gallery apps and most times doesn't appear. It's there in the folder but doesn't appear in the gallery app.

That's strange being it stores it as png - a common image format. If you take a screenshot with the buttons where does it go? Also what format does it save in? And does it show up in the gallery no issues?

Now that Samsung in their INFINITE wisdom has taken out the menu button. Can someone confirm to me how to delete photos directly from Gallery? No.. not from File Manager or 3rd party software. Just the standard Gallery App that came default. If I wanted to go through my pictures and delete certain ones, then how? I can hold down on some pics and tag/select. There is a SHARE button on there but nothing else. No editing, No rotate option, no print, no move options. NOTHING.
REALLY unhappy about this.
Please help..
When you tap and hold on the picture, above it shows three options SHARE, DELETE, MORE.
Also if you just tap and open the picture, on the bottom it shows more options as well.
This did not work. The only option I have is to share-not to delete. Very frustrating. Anybody know how??
What changes have you made to your phone. I never use the regular gallery but it is easy to use

What have you done to your phone since getting it? ROOT? Custom ROM? IF neither i'd factory reset as all those options are available on a normal S6. You can press delete on the little icon on the bottom of the picture or you can hold down on a pic and the delete option comes up.

Simply change the category top left from categories to anything else and your issue will be resolved. Not sure why delete is not an option when you are on categories.
Same problem here!!
And you press on Help, it says to tap on "delete" even though they should no there's no Delete!!! Only Favorite, Share and Editor....Very frustrating!
Do this
Close gallery then Access gallery from camera. Select camera. Then tap bottom right icon. Select album. Or gallery I think. All photos there with delete option
Deleting from Samsung Galaxy S6
Go to Gallery
In the top left hand corner it gives you options to change your gallery display to time, albums, events or categories
Tap Time
Then tap the image you want to delete
then tap the screen
there should be 4 icons on the bottom the fourth one should be delete.
Thanks! Changing from "Categories" to "Time" allowed me to delete the photos. When I was under "Categories", the delete option would not appear.

Go to setting. Application manager gallery clear cache force stop. It should go back to being able to delete photos.
Go to settings , storage, used space then select pictures and videos. Make sure you open with photos as you get all images. Have fun deleting
This really worked for me! I changed the Category to like ALBUMS and I was able to delete an image, Yay!!Thank you!

Click on the album where your pics are located. Click more then click edit. Select the pics or all photos then click delete. I just did it 3 times. It works.

This a thread to compile a list of things that we noticed were stripped from the Note 4 in the Note 5. We already know about the big things like removeable battery and SD and ir blaster... if you find something include a work around if you know of one.... I've noticed the removed continuous scroll on TouchWiz as well as hiding apps from TouchWiz launcher. They also removed the "Samsung cloud" which has been present since the Note 2 that allowed my Facebook and Dropbox photos to appear in my gallery..... please if anyone knows how to activate that feature please tell me!! Add more below
This may be a software issue (5.01 to 5.11) but I can not find the MULTI WINDOW ON/OFF switch. Not where it is on note 4

Cant figure out how to hide apps, folders, pics, turn off notifications for certain apps. Also coming from a note 3, the button to the left of the home key used to be a settings button now it only brings up open windows. I do not like this at all... need some serious help here.

Update found out how to turn notifications on certain apps off... it is now a little tiny check box at the top in applications manager instead of a big giant button at the bottom. Still need to figure out how to hide apps and photos.

Yea they replaced the menu key with thenmulti window key on the note 4 you'll get used to it shortly... And another way to turn notifications off is if you hold your finger on it some options will come up.

Worth noting: On the Note4, you can still access the menu by holding down the recent programs soft key for a couple seconds. On the Note5, you can do it by holding down the back soft key. Holding down recents will give you easy access to split screen view.

I noticed this, as well, but I think this is an "upgrade" as the "100s" of toggles were too many before. I have also noticed that there are less entries in the menu, making it simpler looking and easier to navigate/find stuff. It doesn't always necessarily mean options were removed, but just put into a different place. I think overall, this is a good thing because it makes navigating and using the menus much easier and faster.
Among other things, I did notice in S-Note the ability to transcribe handwriting into text is gone. I noticed this even though I don't use it much, so it isn't a huge loss. I think most of the missing items on this phone are mostly not necessary and were rarely ever used, so it seems like it's basically a good thing.
I do wish they didn't remove the ability to disable the Flipboard screen on the stock launcher. Now, the only way to get rid of it even after disabling the Flipboard app is the install a 3rd party launcher. That is my only complaint, but I rarely ever use the stock launcher anyway, so it's not really a huge issue for me.
So far this phone is F***ing sick!

You can disable the flipboard page just hold your finger down on the home screen and then scroll to the flipboard page and you'll see a check mark, just uncheck it. Is that what you're talking about? Hope this helps
Wow! Thanks so much!
That's what I was taking about. They simplified everything so it's not so cluttered, but in some cases it makes things harder to find.
That is what I was looking for. I didn't even notice the check mark before. Thanks, again.

As someone who shoots lots of photography. I noticed they have removed the Black and White setting from the camera. It has been replaced with a terrible filter called "Monogram". I have searched through all the menus and even the "downloads" section. NOTHING! I honestly can't believe it. Like WHY? I prefer shooting in B&W. Like at least let me download it. WTH?!

If you have a backup of all your apps using titanium backup or another similar app
you can get that black/white filter file from there.
Or you can even get it from the twrp flashable zipfile which you used to flashed
your rom with.
It's in the same location in the zip file as all the other camera filter files.
(it's either in system/apps or in the system/priv-apps folder.)
Once you extract the b/w filter file copy it into the same location where all the other
filter files are located in your note 5, who knows you just might luck out and it might
work for you.
The filter files don't require flashing or even installing
so there's really a good chance that it will work for you.
To play safe, be sure to fix the attributes for the b/w filter
file to match all the other filter files attributes after copying.
Good luck,
Have a great day!
I've noticed that Google Play Music no longer puts the album art on your lockscreen when you're listening to music. Frankly I'm kinda pissed about this because I really liked it.
S-Note doesn't allow you to change the default notes view. I used to change it to "list view" instead of the default "tile" view. Now I can only see it in"tile"view.
