Updated S Pen SDK to make the “old” Galaxy Note new

Alongside the introduction of Galaxy Note 2, Samsung has announced the availability of a new Software Development Kit for the S Pen. The S Pen SDK 2.2 should help developers bring several features found on the Galaxy Note 2 to other S Pen-touting devices, the original Note included. The updated SDK contains new UX scenario, context awareness, and expanded drawing tools.
Of note is the tool that allows apps to recognize the S Pen even when there’s no physical contact between the stylus and the screen. In other words, you can simply hover the pen over the device to trigger certain actions.
Available only for the Galaxy Note 2 and Galaxy Note 10.1 is the ability the launch preset features when the S Pen is detached or when the earphone is attached. As for the expanded doodling tools, a new calligraphy brush has been added to the list of pen input, and there are new color filling features, 33 image effects, an improved UI, and more.
With Samsung doing its part by releasing the new S Pen SDK, the ball is now on the devs’ court to try and create some more advanced apps for the Note series.

It can be. The only thing that can't is when you take the spen out. Like auto launch memo as soon as it's taken out

It's not an app that you can install on your phones. It's for developers who create apps for the note..

Isn't the New s-pen slightly bigger? How should it fit into Note 1?

You can't fit the Note 2 hardware into the Note 1. It is software that controls the S pen that is to be coded using the new SDK.

oo. thx for the info

wait for an rom that have its features
or for a 4.1 official samsung galaxy note n7000 update
---------- Post added at 04:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:42 PM ----------
i mean an official jelly bean update as in this video -

Hi guys, I have a gs3 international version. Recently I've been flashing over to the leak version of jb stock ROMs over at the other forum under gs3.
There are about 4 stock ROMs all under the leak ver for sg3.
The initial Leak ROM which I've flashed using Odin i9300xxLH1. While using this ROM I sign into Facebook , it recognize my phone as galaxy note 2. Wtf ?
That ROM does include s note lite which is the same as note 10.1.
My question is. Can that stock ROM be flash into our galaxy note?
Noted that the ROM is without kernel. Just firmware. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Can someone check that ROM out?
The new note 2 is fantastic! Ui look and feels just the same like the sgs3.:silly:

I think this update would worl on apps that call or import the thew new s-pen sdk package..
I am awaiting for new innovative approaches to start flowing in.
One great feature i would like is the i can hold the pen in the Contacts app side bar where the alphabets come it can switch fast to the corresponding names.. and further drill down .. on a particular contact it will hover a call or message button which i should click for action.

S Note Lite is just a taster of the S Note for the Note series of devices. It is not the same version of S Note found on 10.1 tab, I believe.

I am so boggled by the responses to this thread.

Brand New OTA (4.0.4) rolling out as of today. S Cloud and more incoming

Starting in Germany today Android Central are reporting a brand new update for the International Galaxy Note. It's still based on Android 4.0.4, so don't get get too excited just yet. This brings along popup play, the brand new S Cloud contact backup, home screen improvements, a new lock screen, general UI overhauls and the new 3D gallery app found on the Note 2.
These are said to name 'but a few' of the changes. Until we get some hands on time and start to build a bit change log w e can't be sure. Post up in the thread if you get your hands on it and we can start to sift through it.
On the surface there's nothing I'm massively excited about being a Nova Launcher user, and a QuickPic fan. The popup play could be nice though. Anyway, the crux of the update is this. We're getting Galaxy S III features and Note 2 apps/features before it even launched. This should hopefully be the unofficial handshake we've been hankering after. Android Central believe the Note is now shown as VERY likely to get Jelly Bean from the guys at Samsung and I happen to agree. S Cloud on the Note before it even debuts on the first model to feature it off the shelf? That's hugely encouraging that the Note 2 won't make the Note end of life anywhere near soon.
http://www.androidcentral.com/software-update-brings-s3-and-note-2-features-original-galaxy-note
Change Log (Known)
- TouchWiz 5 (credit to EmuX)
- 3D gallery from Note 2
- Popup play
- Revised lock screen(?) - Allows ability to swipe straight to camera in landscape mode (new?)
- S Cloud contact back up
- Galaxy S III's Direct call (credit to antique_sonic)
WARNING!
Altae reports the following:
Don't try to flash this using mobile odin! You will almost certainly end up with your Note stuck in a boot loop! Use pc odin! During the flashing process you will loose root access! Use Dr. Ketan's guide to restore root access.

Never see any new lock screen. Only know it can customize to open camera direct when you swipe (in lockscreen), with a phone in horizontal position.

Is the launcher any different? I was hoping we'd have a launcher similar to the one seen in the GS3/Gnote ICS preview.

This feature is already there in MoboPlayer, works with CM ROMS too.

I'm currently using an unlocked United Kingdom Note with the Indian 4.04 Rom that I flashed via Odin (screenshot attached) I'm not rooted. Would I be ok downloading this and flashing via Odin just as I did with the Indian Rom? I assume I'll still get English on the device as the Rom I believe is Italian

Google needs to put it in aosp as soon as possible. I wish they didn't kill off cornerstone as that was originally going to be part of cm but google told them to cease and desist.

Google would have to develop that from scratch, because that's Samsung-proprietary code.
Also, I hope that Google does NOT clutter up Android with stuff like this, for this we have ROMs like PA (which is already stuffed full of features that it barely works as a daily driver).

Paranoid android was great when it was based on cm. Its in 4.2 when they tried to go aosp and make their own tweaks that it became a mess. They need to go back to cm or switch to AOKP(uses CMs main code).
It wouldn't be that difficult to implement multi window. The cornerstone code would be a good starting point and android apps already scale to different resolutions without an issue.

You need to refer to the other annoying threads asking the same thing. You want multi window, get a note 2.

Fun with your non rooted s3

Here at xda rooting is highly encouraged, but what if you don't want to jump ship enjoy what your s3 can do without voiding your warranty in some cases.
Here is what you can do :
1- Widget locker
This app is one of my personal favourites you can customise your lock screen as much as you like add desktop widgets toggles change the sliders etc etc you get the picture.
2- flip fonts
One of the hidden features of the s3 is the ability to change the font type to anything you want there is a thread on the apps and themes section just for that by bala_gamer
3-Custom launcher
These are great want to look like an iPhone no problem there is a launcher for that windows 8 sense they are all available just do a Google search some of them even support themes customise it to your liking
4-custom keyboards
These are amazing the number of keyboards out there is stunning and they have unlimited variations you can swipe to type tap change the colours and themes
5-live wallpapers
These will make your phone come to life from a Facebook and Twitter feeds to simple clocks that you can interact with they are all available
I hope I helped I will be updating this with more apps and links and pics soon

Prove it.

why spend $500 on a phone and not take full control over it? having bloat is very annoying and running apps that require root is amazing.
sent from where i'm at.

Because some people buy a phone and just want it to work. Rooting takes a lot of time if you actually read all the instructions and precautions

No root then no XDA Developers forum exists .
Instead you have a fix my phone my phone is cooler than your phone forum with few posts .

Having a Non Rooted S3 is like having Ferrari FSD (For Sunday Drivers) with speed limiter on board and half of the features disabled.... You can drive it but you'll never know what the real fun is It's good idea for people who can't drive but fancy hot ride same applies to Non Rooted S3 (or any Android device)

Multi window for our Samsung Galaxy S

Developers, I want your attention towards the multi window feature which is available in some high end Samsung phones.
It would be an achievement if our Samsung Galaxy S gets the multi window.
I saw the below given link in which this feature has been ported successfully to Galaxy Grand Quattro
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544955

I think a 4" screen is probably too small for multi window, maybe I'm wrong.

I have an S3 now (I had a Galaxy S before though), 4.8 inches of screen with Multiwindow. It may just be because I have big hands, but even on the S3, multiwindowing is barely comfortable. On the S, who knows how well that may work.
Also, that multiwindow needs Samsung JB 4.1.2.

There is no point using it on a 4 inch device. I find using it on my s4 a bit hard at times. The S1 may not perform very well if this implementation is added to the phone.

But it is a cool feature that is much desired.
Whatsapp+MX player

tubemate+ uc browser
etc. and so on are the combinations which are welcome.
It would be a huge achievement for having this on our SGS rather than buying S4

Wrong. In omni ROM if you go to the recent apps list and hold your finger on an app it let's you put it into split view.
I tried whatsapp with MX player. Phone goes a bit laggy, and if you click in the whatsapp pane then the video pauses. Personally I'd prefer to watch my videos in nice fullscreen landscape and check my messages by pulling the notification shade down.
