(This is intended to be a 'how do you show off your stylus', although in retrospect, it's going to turn into a 'best apps' thread,
so perhaps it should be moved?)
Just wondering how you show off your stylus, or what makes people oo and ahh at it?
I don't draw and my handwriting sucks so I don't do either. (Might have to get that 'Draw something' game though)
the new game 'Shogun' is a ton to play with the stylus.
It's a 'bullet hell' game and it's MUCH easier with the stylus as you can see all the bullets around your ship. I think it's my new stylus 'show off' app.
I had a lot of fun playing 'nemo picross' with a very tiny grid, and drawing with the stylus. Really nice.

Its an S pen. Not a stylus. Stylus is what was used with old resistive touch screens.

Ehh, no.
It is a stylus as is a wacom pen that always have been called stylus or wacom pens.
s pen it is only a marketing word.

Any other awesome shmups on the Android? Unfortunately Cave went to the iOS
I haven't found any fun use for the stylus until you mentioned shmups. I am now a very happy camper.
EDIT: Already am 220th in the country. Its a grazing shmup.
i think the best stylus app is s-memo i use it very often!
i havent found an as useful stylus app... but maby anywhere out there is an better one???
I prefer Jotter (For Galaxy Note) for the following reasons:
-option for palm rejection
-option to disable back key
-just one tap on a widget to start writing

freenote - the handwrite/freehand mode lets you put much more text on the screen
LectureNotes - Good note taking app
SketchBookMobile - Basically photoshop for the Note
OmniSketch - Cool sketching app
Pretty sure they're all available as free/paid versions, I bought all 3.
how about the xda galaxy note forum page as the best stylus demo
the demo is - that all frustration is lost with this phone, including having to zoom up just to hit a link or read text and miss hit the link anyway. So I have 3 demos I show all the time - really this is one:
I have a url ready to go of a dense page of the XDA forum with small text and many pages of comments, and I show how with my stylus how perfect and fast I can hit on even the supper small next of an author or the next or number page buttons perfectly ( on the bottom right of the page). I explain how I can do this while walking and never miss any hyperlink or button again. demo 1
I then have a pressure sensitive demo with zen brush all set up, where I go into a great picture already made ( already they are impressed) and I have purposely made room available at the bottom to make a very light to very hard brush strokes, where the different levels of pressure sensitivity show up by seeing the very very thin to very very think brush strokes - people go wild. it takes pracitse to do the very light especially with a screen protector. demo 2
last I have a smemo page ready to go with 3 lines of text I already wrote out in freehand (' buy more potatoes' is one of the lines). I have enough room to add another line and usually write "do it now" ( easy and I never mess it up). Then I hit the 'handwriting to text' button and get perfect text ( which I already knew would work). now folks with mouth open. demo 3
I also mentioned that this is approximately what apple would call a retina display, this is the only retina display with a full wacom tablet underneath it.
additional non stylus demo
The vlingo dead accurate speech recognition is actually the most successful demo to freak them out. I have it ready to go, say 'Hi Galaxy' , say Play "Let it be" and the music starts, I then either say dial the persons phone number and wait for their phone to ring, or 'say gmail' in which I show them swype ( many folks seemed to have no clue about swype) and then hit the mic and dictate alot of email. all perfect.
Lastly I have a HD movie, of nature from youttube downloaded on my device (called Best of HD movies: water/wasser) to show the beautiful screen.
I also show I can use it with one hand, put it my pocket and put it up to my ear. I mention the phone is a game changer and if Apple came out with it the world would be going crazy. and Smile.
ps - google 'gesture search' app (always a shortcut on my front page) impresses folks too, when they see I can call anyone, play any music, open any app in one or two swipes.
Thanks for the heads up on freenote.
The best note taking app for me.
I really like being able to combine handwriting, text and drawing all really easily.
Still trying to work out which handwriting mode works best for me (I think 2 cell - as long as I keep my writing in a straight line so words split over the 2 halves of the page don't end up looking wonky). And still tweaking the recognition timing thresholds, but definitely my favourite so far.
The limit to the amount you could fit in sMemo is way to small to be useful for anything more than post it note type notes.
Freenote will be useful for taking notes in just about any situation.

Hi,
Anyone knows about any remote desktop app that can take advantage of the stylus?
Thanks

Don't think it works as a standalone app. For work we have it running on a server, and staff use the client software on their handheld devices.

I see, I'm looking for a terminal server client which could be less cumbersome with the stylus than the actual app i'm using.

I couldn't find LecureNotes in the Market on my phone (tried searching for Acadoid, and also tried changing my region using Market Enabler too). I could find it on my web browser on my PC, but when I try to install it via the web, it says it's not compatible with my Galaxy Note and won't let me proceed.
I'm not sure what Will is...?
I did try out Handrite, Fliq, Genial Writing and sMemo.
For me, the handwriting entry process works best in freenote.
It seems to be the most tweakable to be able to get the settings just right for your speed and style of writing.
Plus it's quick and easy to swap between different modes of input (handwriting, typing, drawing freehand, highlighting)
TPT users - I have been considering this tablet for some time. I am a huge MS Onenote user and I have been looking for an alternative to my tablet PC. I tried the HTC flyer, but the pen recognition was not that great. (At times it was like writing with a pen that was running out of ink.) My question is if anyone has experience using the TPT for note taking and then getting the inked notes into onenote for easy use in onenote? I would love to wiat for the Samsung Note 10" but it appears that date keeps getting pushed back and need a solution soon.
I have the View - essentially the same tab - and the pen recognition is great. Bad battery perhaps or perhaps not using the right note program there are several really great ones out there - LectureNotes, Quill, and many others. You can also use a TPT pen on the Flyer, and vice versa. I have used OneNote on the TPT but not often yet. Getting too many other great note taking results with text conversion when I want.
Check out the app 7Notes for HWR. Love it. Also MyScript Stylus, but more expensive.
Thanks
I appreciate the response. I actuallly sent my original flyer back to try a second unit. They both seemed to suffer from not registering all the pen marks consistently over the entire screen.
I used both LectureNotes and Quill. I liked them both better than the default note taking app, but the issue I had was getting the notes organized. That is why I love Onenote. I tried to move over to Evernote and used the export function on those notetaking apps to get them to work well together, but I was unhappy with all the extra steps and OneNote inking of notes was not as fluid either.
My hope is that by the time the Samsung Note 10" launches, MS will include the inking capabilities into the Android version of Onenote and I will be a happy camper.
How did you use Onenote on your TPT.
LOL Didn't use it. Logged in with Splashtop and used it remotely on my pc.
We are pleased to confirm that the latest version of the S Pen SDK for the Samsung GALAXY Note is now available to download, bringing the Multi-Window feature for the GALAXY Note II. Multiple apps can be loaded in multiple windows, providing more flexibility for the end user and true PC-like multi-tasking wherever it’s needed.
● Multi Window is available on the GALAXY Note II using an S Pen.
- Multi Window and its related APIs were added to improve the usability of apps that utilize the S Pen on the GALAXY Note II.
- The screen can be split vertically or horizontally within apps that use the S Pen without switching to another screen, allowing the user to display related apps on one screen simultaneously.
- Multi Window supports data transaction using the clipboard, as well as drag & drop to allow easy sharing of data between apps that use Multi Window
*Note: GALAXY Note II devices for some regions or carriers may require upgrading to the latest firmware to use Multi Window.
● Unnecessary and duplicate APIs have been deprecated, and the names of some APIs have been changed.
- Deprecated methods can be used in the previous 2.2 version and the current version, but they will be removed in future versions
● Some errors in S Pen SDK 2.2 have been corrected in this release.
The SDK includes 20 sample apps for you to use in your own applications, so you can quickly understand how to make the most of each available method. You can find the samples at http://developer.samsung.com/s-pen-sdk/samples
In addition, there is some extenstion for developers using Unity Engine, a popular 3D game engine. You can integrate the S Pen SDK library into their apps. To make integrating the S Pen and Unity easier, the S Pen SDK Unity Extension is available as a simple “package file” that is easily consumed in Unity as a Unity Plug-in. Download at http://developer.samsung.com/s-pen-sdk/unity-extension

Very nice, I'm definitely going to add support for Multi-Window and S-Pen in my existing apps soon.
Judging from the growing popularity of Samsung devices, it might be worth the effort to implement it (which doesn't seem that big of a deal anyway).
Plus this would give me a chance to take part in the Samsung Smart App Challenge 2013, the venture capital pitch opportunity is enormous.
I think we need a 'house of the dead/time crysis' style game using spen hover and spen button as shoot

Hey all, I know a few people have offered up videos for keyboards, joypads and the like on the Note 2, here is my effort I've also included how to delete touch regions from the Edit overlay of Touch2Server. I've used GTA3 for this one as it has loads of regions that need setting up.
What games have you had success using this sort of setup, give us your Game and Device combo's!
Hello everyone,
So I just brought a used Yoga Book, after shatter the screen on my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 I was wondering if someone could see if a few games are compatible with the Yoga Book. XCOM: EW, KOTOR, and Galaxy On Fire 2.
XCOM:EW works great. The loading times are basically instant. I haven't played KOTOR or Galaxy On Fire 2 on the Yoga Book, however both are available to be downloaded through the playstore, without the need to side load. I would guess they are fine. Just about everything is fine, the main problem I have found is a lack of mouse or keyboard support in games that should be friendly to a laptop form factor.

I haven't actually searched for mouse and / or keyboard compatible android games, but it would be nice if we started a thread about them!

Thank you both. KOTOR should support mouse and keyboard as it is a direct port of the original came and has native support for controllers. KOTOR is next to impossible to side load.
