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

I use extensive notes

I flick between s-memo
FreeNote ( https://market.android.com/details?...wsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zdWlzaG91eGllLmZyZWVub3RlIl0. )
Evernote
( https://market.android.com/details?id=com.evernote&hl=en )
and OneNote
( https://market.android.com/details?...DEsImNvbS5taWNyb3NvZnQub2ZmaWNlLm9uZW5vdGUiXQ.. )
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

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.
not sure if i should be asking this as the nexus 7 is a different beast to the ipad
but has anyone found an app or mod that will allow gesture control on the nexus 7
4 finger swipe left or right brings up open apps
pinch in takes you to the homescreen
i understand this an ios feature but was pretty cool on the ipad would be even better on my nexus 7
i know nova launcher supports gestures but they are not quite like the ipad (the only thing i like about the ipad)
Ápex launcher has many action bases gestures

GMD gesture control is an app that would be of interest to you. It's in the play store, there is a trial and paid version.
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using Tapatalk 2
Having GMD on my Ainol Elf and i really love it! Because apex only offers gestures when you are on homescreen or in app drawer. GMD allows gestures anywhere, in every app you can launch the launchpad or switch between apps with a simple gesture. I am using free version at the moment, but i am going to by this app soon!

Don't even mention Apple gestures here. Apple has them all patented.
One line in the Popular Science magazine that Google gave us really concerned me.
Apple is actively pursuing patents in the area of charging mats and chargers built into phones and tablets
That is a sure harbinger of the death of innovation.
That would be awesome if it was doable, its one of the few iPad features that really tempt me.
Edit: looked at GMD gestures. That's exactly what I was looking for! Not quite as smooth as Apple's but it gets the job done.

In GMD Gesture Control, anyone know how can i create the Cutsom Gesture for App Drawer of Apex Launcher ?
I want to have a gesture for app drawer but i find no way to do so. :crying:
Anybody know how I can get the Swipe up action? for example to bring up recent apps or currently running apps. I used nova to do this however I'm not a fan of this launcher overall, I had an iphone 5 with the zephyr tweak and I want something similar to this. Please let me know

You will need a non stock launcher for that. TW does not support this and I have never seen one modded to do this either.
It is what it is...
You mean long-pressing the home button? Or you want a swipe up gesture to do that? Because as far as I know that's not possible. You'd need Nova or the like to do so.

Get Nova Launcher Prime. It supports a bunch of gestures and its wicked fast.
Yup exactly I want a Swipe gesture to replace the long press home button.

You'll need a different launcher. Luckily, the Android eco-system contains many different options.
Personally I prefer Apex Launcher but people also seem to like Nova Launcher quite a bit too. I set the swipe down to open my app drawer and the swipe up to directly launch Google's voice search, but the combinations/options are really endless.
Try both, or others and see what you like.
Try swipepad free from the play store, it is the best swipe launcher you can use with ANY launcher. You can set up your favorite apps or recent apps. It works so smooth.

Loving the phone, but all the nifty features are solely for certain apps. Is it possible to make apps like adobe reader or Polaris office air gesture capable?
How about gestures working while on multi window?
Is this possible?
Any input on this is welcomed!

I have not looked into it myself, but it is my understaning that the developer would have to add support by using the functions provided by samsung.
So unless the developers for Adobe or Polaris tell theirs apps to look for the features of the phone, you will not be able to.

I love air view and want to know if there are any 3rd party apps making use of it, besides the Samsung apps and Flipboard. I'm talking about the technology to have your finger close to the screen but not touching it.
Would be sweet for a shooter game where moving your finger moves the character and touching the screen shoots!
