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

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

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 ...

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

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

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

maybe because the Korean version is already released, it has a newer version witch supports this feature, and the intl' will also support it.
but its not based on anything.. only me :cyclops:
I also think that the craftsmen will find a way)
That will be really disappointing if its only on the Korean Note 2.
After watching the videos of it yesterday I was definitely going to purchase the Galaxy Note 2 on launch day in the UK. But if its not a supported feature in the EU/N7100 models then I think I will hold off.
The multiscreen feature is also available in hong kong's note 2, which is an international version.

This looks awesome. However when I was watching it I was thinking "Sweet!!! I can finally answer texts while browsing the internet!" But after looking at the apps in the side bar I didn't see sms in there. So I wonder what apps will be supported in this feature and if it will be possible to incorporate mods to get other apps to work.
That's an awesome feature. Hopefully the international version also has this.
But if it doesn't has, i still go for the Note II

Sms is present as an option. in the first video, i can see the sms icon below the gallery icon. Samsung should be highlighting that feature because it brings a desktop like view to the note. Definitely ordering now. was going to wait to see the new nexus and features of the next version of Android, but this just sealed the decision.

My mistake, I'm using 'ultimate rotation control'.
It works great on my galaxy note 1.
One of the big reasons I'm using it is it allows 180 degree rotation so I'm not always hitting the capacitive buttons.

That is an amazing feature but of all the Note 2 videos I have seen, it's the first one I have seen that has that (half-circular) tab on the left side of the screen. Looks like it's brought up by holding the 'back button'. I wonder if its just that no one knows about this 'shortcut' to open this feature. Or could this be an updated version of TouchWiz we are seeing?
I think you can enable the multi-window from the settings, because it make sense that not everybody want to have the half circle on left border by default.
Lets hope it is available in the international version
So are we saying that stock launcher on note 2 doesnt rotate landscape??

Hey, I'm not really a dev, although someday I would like to get more into it, I just don't have the time at the moment. But I was wondering, if a feature like the Galaxy Note II's dual pane could be integrated into ROMs. Personally, I use PA 2.99, and I think that being able to browse the web while having AIM open at the same time would be just awesome. I feel that the nexus could handle it just fine. Thanks for considering the idea! Oh, and if this already exists and I missed it, please let me know.
People are already working on this (use search!)

I'm curious, did anyone buy the phone for the ability to draw on it? I was excited to see they included replacement nibs with the note3.
I've drawn on all three notes, and the note 3 has some really good pressure sensitivity, better then my cintiq at times.
Anyone else want to share any drawings or other art they've done on it so far, or even the Note 1 or 2?

To everyone else, thanks. Also the programs I used are Sketchbook pro/mobile (which amusingly enough I don't like for desktop), and Artflow, both very good programs for the note line of tablets and phones. It allows for full blown drawing and rendering in a tiny app.
WOW!!! Great art work. Im glad to see that people have been sharing what this great phone can do.

I'm in no way an artist. But I do enjoy drawing on this phone. Its something I used to do a lot to relax when I had a notepad on me but I haven't carried a pen and paper with me for years. Its nice to be able to draw again and just doodle whenever I feel like it and not have to plan on bringing anything more with me.
Here is something I drew a few days ago. Just getting used to the program.

Yea the sensitivity is nice. Once you get used to the program brushes and customize the size for the pressure you use. Its nice.
My fiance is an animator, usually works on the cintiq, and has the note 2 and loves the pen. One of the reasons she got the phone was because of the wacom tech.
