Trying to select text in the browser definitely needs some refinement.
It's very buggy and difficult.

One has to get used to it. Don't know the official procedure, but long pressing on some text and setting the markers manually always works for me.
I've been to several sites where the markers jump all over the place. It tends to happen quite often if the paragraph or sentence has a mixture of text and hyperlinks.

Its wonky.
Old winmo and iOS still best at it.
Stupid arrow jumps all over and often cant be aligned correctly to the word I want.
Perhaps the browsers awful rendering of some pages is whats at fault. Since text input as a whole just slows to a crawl on some sites.
Thought it might be useful to start a thread for alternatives to the s-memo app. Currently its the main reason I put up with Touchwiz a cant seem to find an app as nice looking and as responsive as s-memo in the market

and OneNote

What I really REALLY want is s-memo or whatever I use to sync back to me "Notes" in my Exchange Outlook account :-(
Extensive was buggy on aosp ics. Super note is good if u find apk

supernote wasnt bad... but unless your on a smaller dpi it never scaled right for me.
Ive tried almost every app I could find and none of them just seem to have the responsiveness of the smemo app for handwriting

Anti paper is pretty good if on ICS

I find that Soonr Scribble seems to have better pressure sensitivity than most other apps. The automatic cloud sync is a huge plus. I lose my S Memo notes with every flash...
iAnnotate is also pretty good. maybe not for quick notes though.

Anti paper seems nice for actual hand writing notes. Doesn't have picture or video ability which sucks . Man I wish smemo didn't need tw framework to work or u could just grab apk...

Evernote's skitch is pretty good too.
LectureNotes
Tried Quill, Antipaper and Writepad stylus when I tried ICS... (the non-chinese awful version) Quill was the best of those. However, I didn't notice LectureNotes, which seems even better than Quill! ICS time!
Free note seems nice . And I think its note everything?
Sent from my Ice Creamy Galaxy NOTE
lecture notes does look interesting I'll download it and report back.... So far Ive tried everything mentioned above and always found them underwhelming.
Update: This is definately a replacement, UI is pretty dam clean, responsiveness is good (still think s-memo has an edge here) and for what I want to be able to do it has all the right settings (changing ruler spacing), the biggest one is disabling finger input on the s-pen writing area... the pro version seems to have quite a few more options than the trial.
Definitely worth a look and download
Although I haven't tried it Whiteboard Pro is available on the Amazon appstore today (Feb 27) for free so I grabbed a copy
http://www.amazon.com/mobile-apps/b?ie=UTF8&node=2350149011
Lecture notes has been updated to support hardware emulation of the wacom stylus (at least on my ICS rom). I would encourage everyone to check it out, a ton of options to customize the experience for your needs (custom pens, paper line spacing etc.).
I vote for Freenote for writing notes.
ps. I'd suggest Sketchbook mobile for drawing.

Freenote is nice for actually hand writing notes in a note book style fashion. Otherwise its to confusing and a cluster **** and i don't like it.
Seems like note everything is a good free and paid replacement ...

Hmm, lecturesnotes is not available for my device...
Tried in multiple dpi 160,200,320. On Imilka aosp rom. Anyone successfully with it? What roms?
rocket 1.5 ICS works fine. there shoild be a trial and a paid version in the market

I was looking for something better for taking notes with my note... Lecture notes definitely takes the cake. I was trying free not but it was not responsive enough for me and as intuitive. Lecture notes looks to be a winner.
Users of CM9-based ROMs -- what are you using to replace the functionality of S Memo, etc?
Quill, LectureNotes, Sketchbook, etc.
There's plenty of alternatives.

Do they have as good of a brush and colour selection as Samsung's apps? And what about pressure sensitivity? Pressure sensitivity is GREAT for writing Kanji.
i am very interested in this topic as well , would be great if people who tried alternative apps indicate the pros/cons and compatibility with cm9
i would love to see palm reject in cm

Varies from app to app, but yes.

What are you using that has the same pressure sensitivity, organizational abilities, cloud sync abilities, and intent support (i.e. exporting/importing to/from pictures, etc.) as S Memo?
I ask because I'd really like to give a CM9 ROM a try but need to know I'll have the pen support I've come to depend on.

I wasn't aware that S-Memo supported cloud sync, it's not a feature I have any interest in using.
Lecturenotes will upload to an Evernote account and will import existing images.
Just search on the market for "stylus" and see what pops up.
Jotter
Writepad
Quill
Skitch
LectureNotes
SketchBook Mobile
Samsung S-Memo (No idea if this version would work on CM9, it's not available to my country)
Omnisketch
If you heavily rely on the native Samsung apps though, then I'd not recommend switching to CM9.
Unfortunately some of the "stylus" search results are designed for "fake styluses" on tablets.
True. The ones I've listed are ones that work properly with the Note stylus. (Or did when I tried them anyway). They mostly support pressure sensitivy when it's useful for them to do so. Palm-detection is pretty hit & miss.
I think Skitch is about the only "generic" input app in the list.
I'm not aware of anything that replicates _all_ of the functionality that the native Samsung apps do (particularly the versions in the ICS release), but as I mainly just want to use the device instead of carting around a pen+paper to make quick notes, or draw (very poor) pictures when I'm idling, the alternatives work fine for me.
Edit: Dame it, it's not ics compatible
Hi guys,
I'm using this app

proabably the most used is freenote
After trying most of the list, my favourite is LectureNotes... It seems to have the best sketching features, reasonable import/export and pretty much suits my needs to the extent that I would choose it over s- memo
But that is just my opinion... Try a bunch out and see what works for you

Just got my new note 3 today (sim free N9005) and I don't like the stock browser as compared to my note 2. I found the browser to be loading slower, pages are not zoomed properly, kinetic scrolling is not as responsive and for some really strange reason when I click at a picture on mobile version of Facebook website, it is displayed very small in size. Chrome does not seem to suffer from this problem. Can anyone else please confirm these performance issues and possibly suggest solutions. I am really annoyed because of stock browser's performance and miss my note 2.

I stopped using the stock browser as soon as I had turned on any accessibility services as it started talking! 'Page loading' 'page loaded" etc. Very annoying. Mostly using Chrome and Boat browsers now.

Stopped in to look at one today and the most important feature for me to check out first was the browser. I was not impressed. No text flow and similar issues as other posters. I left sprint without buying. Very disappointing

Looks like i might go with the G2. Browser is super important to me and i dont like chrome or the other 3rd party browser ( except the AOSP one) but it defeats the purpose of using the touchwiz feature within the stock browser itself.
They removed Quick Controls, Google Bookmarks AND Flash Support... no thank you.
I thought the N3 would be better than N2 & N1 in every aspect? But no... worse browser, worse speaker... better region lock though

Removing google bookmarks killed it for me. Why would they do that? I am back to chrome beta now and doing fine.
Is it not possible to install note 2 version of stock browser?

I switched to Chrome from the outset.
Chrome and Firefox way better

The kinetic scrolling is pretty bad on this thing sadly.
I'm curious if anyone has come across any great 3rd party apps that work well with the s-pen?
Personally, I'm feeling a little bit of a gap between the Action Memos and S-Note. (Action memos are only a post-it size, and S-Note takes a bit too long to load and navigate for jotting down quick notes).
I've tried papyrus briefly. Not bad.
