[Q] Pen Window Doesn't Work Anymore - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm using Jelly Bean's ROM, and everything seems to be working fantastic, except for Pen Window...When I click the S-Pen button and select Pen Window, the cursor doesn't change to the "draw" cursor, and I can't draw a window; simply nothing happens. I've tried using apps like the Pen Window manager to add "extra" apps to the pen window interface, but that doesn't work, and I've checked all my settings, but can't find anything about enabling/disabling Pen Window.
Any suggestions?

Im having the same issue, did you manage to fix the problem because i would really like mine to work :-/

Mine let's me draw a window, but the applications box is empty, and upon trying to add applications through the edit menu, I get a force close error. I am however on Baja rom kit Kat build. I am new to the android development area but I am semi-proficient in Linux so I will look into this a bit more and maybe see if I can't find the cause so we may find a solution.

ok i seem to have fixed it. first off if you have pen window manager and mw manager installed. make backups in titu then uninstall them and then reboot. try reinstalling just pen window manager first without restoring data. it should then work. after that you can try to reinstall mw manager but that seemed to be the trouble spot on my note 3.

Unfortunately I'm on kit Kat so I can't recreate the problem you guys are receiving. Can you maybe take a screen shot to give me an idea of what's going on? And does multi window work for you?

I know this is a slightly old thread but if you happen to have anything disabled through Titanium Backup or via the App Manager... make sure you do not disable RakeIn 1.0. This service is required by both Pen Window and Scrap Booker. This only solves the issue where Pen Window does absolutely nothing when attempting to launch it.

This is exactly what my issue was. Good thing I don't remove the bloatware and rather just freeze it.
Thanks very much.

I'm having a problem now on 4.4.2 Alliance build 2. My Multiwindow isn't showing any of the apks I added extra despite multiple reboots and reinstall of the manager apk and double checking everything including xposed, as well as my pen window only shows Google music now nothing else and won't save anything. Does anyone know the actual place in my phone where the list is stored and I can manually update, this is killing me thanks!

Editing the multitasking apps

I was trying to add the maps app to my mult-itasking bar and couldn't seem to find a way to do it. On watching a couple of YouTube videos I see there appears to be an edit button at the bottom of the bar on those notes which doesn't appear on mine.
Am I being really dense on not being able to see how to access this button?

the edit button only appears when you have too many apps for that bar.
Samsung have made a list of what apps can be used in this mode, maps is not one of them.
A hack is being worked on to allow all apps to be used in this mode, please see the sticky thread.
It was because I saw maps on the list of apps in that thread that I was trying to add it. Never mind, just a minor thing. I'm just curious that, if the edit button only appears when there are too many apps on the multi-tasking bar, how do you actually add or remove apps when it isn't there? Or do apps that can be use this facility (on unrooted phones) automatically add themselves there?
Thanks for your help.
I have maps in my multitasking bar!

ah actually good point, maps is one of the apps.
Are you sure you have maps installed?
Yep, have maps installed.
Maps should then default to being one of the items in the side-bar
Yes the maps is there,and also it looks like there are omly 12 applications supported as of yet,you can remove or move them back when you hit the Edit button and drag any of them to the right lane or back to the left.
Must be a glitch on my phone then. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling the maps app to see if it would make a difference but no luck. Any ideas gratefully received.

have you tried turning it off and on again? (no joke)
If the reboot doesn't fix it can you post us a picture of your sidebar?
to take a screenshot take the spen out, press the spen button and tap and hold the middle of the screen.
Yes, tried that. It's about all I know how to do!
Hopefully here are 2 screenshots showing the entire multi-tasking bar.

for starters try the app "live score addicts" for football results, its the best I have come across in 3 years with android.
back on-topic...
maps definitely is not there, weird.
I take it you have not modified the firmware at all? on a completely stock rom?
Maps is installed as a /system/ app you see, and it is that specific package name that is allowed for multi-tasking, if for some reason you don't have it installed as a /system/ app there is a slim chance its under a slightly different package name and multi-view just won't see it.
Edit:
can you post me a screenshot of the page displayed when you go *#1234# in the dialer.
Here you go.
Maps is here, and *#1234# results
Interesting Lofty, your actually on quite old firmware (well older than most of us with split-screen ability).
Where did you get the phone?
Vodafone upgrade. Maybe it has something to do with all the crap they stick on the phone.

It would be very easy, if you wanted, to unbrand that device and put the latest UK unbranded firmware on it but at the risk of voiding your warranty (although tbh it shouldn't).
If you are interested in this just PM me and I will give you the simple instructions.
Have we found a way yet?

Glass on ANY ANDROID DEVICE! [4.1+ Recommended]

Yo Guys.
This is a tutorial through which YOU can have the Glass UI on ANY ANDROID DEVICE. This is the proper UI that you would find on Glass. Basically we are going to download and install some MODIFIED Glass so that we could use it on an Android phone. I haven't modified the apps. I am just telling you how to use them.
Now first of all the things you need -
Android device which run 4.0 or higher. However 4.1 higher is recommended as that has the updated voice controls.
A Bluetooth keyboard. This would be used to navigate. The touchscreen doesn't work in the UI.
So let's do this -
1 - Get the Stuff.
Go to https://github.com/zhuowei/Xenologer as click on "ZIP" which is besides "CLONE TO WINDOWS". This would give you the modded apps. You can read the dev's readme to see what he has modified. Then go to http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...em-dumps-please-do-something-cool-with-these/ and download the system dump. From here, using WinRAR/7ZIP got to the system/app and extract all the files which have the suffix "Glass" to them. Refer the diagram below.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2 - Installing.
Copy all the apps that we downloaded and put them on your phone. Then install the apps. The first app that you would install SHOULD BE GLASS-HOME!!!! For the rest, the order doesn't matter.
3 - Finale.
After installing all apps, hit home and choose - Glass-settings and choose "just once". If you choose "always" then you would be screwed. Now you using the keyboard control the glass ui. -
ARROW KEY = SWIPE RIGHT/LEFT
ENTER = TAP
ESC = GO HOME.
If at any time you want to turn back, simply press the home button, choose your launcher and you are done. For more info watch the dev's video :
Thanks for posting this tutorial, however I would remove that file list from Ron's dump as most of that stuff will break it.
DO NOT INSTALL frameworkstubs.apk glasshome.apk glasssetup.apk glasscamera.apk or glasssystemui.apk everything else is fine to bring over from the dump file but those listed ones must not be installed from the dump.
I recommend watching my video so you do it correctly, and if you want to help or have some ideas as to why things are not working let me know.
Well the video doesn't seem to be working atm.

This is extremely cool. Installed it on my Nexus 4. It keeps telling me there is something wrong with my network connection. Will try to test all of the functions soon . Talking to it works fine!
I forgot to add my wifi network and of course can't capture the QR, so I can't search Google, yet the timeline updates go through :silly:. But it works great on my phone anyway.
I'm making a new tutorial video tonight that highlights some new features and some bug fixes!

No facial recognition on glass - Could have been a great feature
I wrote a little app which acts like an invisible keyboard that allows to navigate through glass using the volume buttons and simulate the enter key using the menu button or a long press on back, instead of having to use an external keyboard.
The app is open source, you can grab the code on my github : http://github.com/Androguide/GLASSInput
The apk's direct link : https://github.com/Androguide/GLASSInput/blob/master/GlassInput.apk?raw=true
Thx for video :good:

[Q] Handwriting to text recognition?

Anyone else having issues with using the s pen to do things like write text messages? When I begin to write, the app never recognizes anything and converts it to text. This worked fine prior to root.
I checked for samsung keyboard updates. I already have the latest one. Is there a process I may have frozen that gets tied in with it?
I use this all day at work and I'm rooted and have not had any issues at all.
Does it recognize that the pen is out? Go into the keyboard settings and ensure "Pen Detection" is checked.

Yes. I can use the pen for s note, air command, etc. Pen detection is not turned off. Even if I write the text with my finger, it shows up, but never gets translated. See below.
I would prefer not to restore if need be. I went through titanium to see if i may have frozen something that uses this functionality, but no dice.
EDIT
Ok, I went ahead and did a factory restore. Still rooted. Still not working.

If I can remember correctly there was another post about this somewhere. I had to uninstall the keyboard updates then reinstall then reboot and it has worked since then. I'll check and see if I can find the post for ya after I get back from eating lunch with my daughter.

I had this issue originally and the recommendation I found was to update "Samsung keyboard Note 3/10.1". When I looked it was already up to date, so I uninstalled it and reinstalled the keyboard. I think I may have also needed to kill app with the keyboard open before it started working.
Maybe this will help

Did you know?

Did you know you can turn off magazine app from opening when pressing the home button. There is an option for it ....... when magazine app is open press the menu button, then settings, then select open using the home key, un-check the box.
Well that was simple. Thanks, that stupid thing drove me nuts.
While on the subject, anyone know of any way to add new news sites to my magazine? Ie specific sites and not just a category?
Thanks I hate it too.

Did you know that you can create shortcut icons in the Multi Window panel that will automatically open paired windows of your choice?
If you didn't here's how.
Open the Multi Window panel on the left side of the screen, then open two apps that you use together. Now with both apps on your screen open the Multi Window panel again and look for the up arrow at the bottom of this panel and touch it. A little menu will open, select create. A box will then appear that let's you give it a custom name if you like.
More tips will follow and if you have a tip please feel free to add one.

You have to root it and install Wanam Xposed. That has a setting that lets you pick what apps you want to make available for multi-window.
Multiwindow Plus and Pen Window Manager will also do it, you have to be rooted for both though.
Xposed is easier, free and does lots of other awesome things
