Just tried Infinity v 0.2.8, I should say it feels better than old version and it feels much lighter than SPB Mobile Shell.
I love Infinity’s looking!
Infinity will be definitely my next UI I will use for my mobile devices if developers can add the following modifications:
1. please do not totally replace original WM top taskbar.
1% battery indicator, Phoneweaver profile’s indicator etc etc are all displayed in WM top taskbar, after launch Infintiy,they are gone,this means Infinity completely replaces original WM top taskbar.
If you cannot change this,at least design a nice 1% battery indicator. We cant live without this.
2. to continue point No 1, Infinity also replaces other program’s toolbars, for example, Resco Photo Viewer v6.33,the toolbar is gone! This toolbar (contains zoom button etc) is very important for me, allowing me to zoom pictures accurately and quickly, that’s why I will not use Resco Photo Viewer v7.0 or higher,because they don’t have this convenient toolbar. Resco Photo Viewer v6.33 is best for viewing pictures; Now Infinity takes away its toolbar, I doubt I can use Infinity like this.[IMPORTANT]
3. Infinity also replaces original “X” tap, in WM you can go to settings/system/task manager/button/enable the "X" button to end running/end programs by tapping "X". Yes, I want program to quit immediately after I hit “X”, but Infinity disables this,the program is still running in the background after you hit “X”,there is no option for you to choose as to end program or minimize program. [IMPORTANT]
4. pls design a nice task manager widget with the option to assign it to the right soft key. [IMPORTANT]
5. pls add an option to make the desktop only one page. With now 3 pages, you can slide to left or right,it’s fun,but if you accidentally slide the page to left or right,you have to slide to find out the right page where you put all the shortcuts, this is not productive, for most of people,one page of desktop is optimal.
6. cannot we just use any picture to be desktop background? This is a easy script for programmer to write,isn’t it? So pls add this option. [IMPORTANT]
7. at last, I think it’s nice if Infinity can backup all the settings. Adding a program’s shortcut to the desktop is not straightforward, for example, I want to place Phoneweaver in desktop, the procedure goes like this: tap the desktop for 3 seconds>click right corner + button>Shortcut>click this new shortcut icon in the desktop>Show widget options>Path>(find the Phoneweaver icon>ok> tap the desktop for 3 seconds to finish.
You can imagine how much pain and time you will go though if you reinstall Infinity,if you can backup all settings and restore in future, you can save lots of trouble.
These are not bugs,just improvements that one of users want our diligent Infinity programmers to consider. Thank you for this excellent software!
Please note Infinity is still under development, Infinity v0.2.8 is not yet a finished product.
A quote from the developer himself:
I've just uploaded v0.2.8
We have to be honest: we don't know when and if we can finish Infinity. You're right - there are only some small parts missing to make it more usable but we don't see a big future for it as WinMo 6.x dies and it definitely won't work on WP7 or any other platform.
That's why I just added some small functions (add/edit contacts) and fixed some bugs. I also removed the time limit as we really don't know if a new version will be released in a few weeks or in months.
I hope you understand that.

I know right? It's like when someone creates a thread for a product and asks for opinions... yet they don't provide links or details....
annoying right?
but yes, it looks like it will be outdated very soon.
spb mobileshell/mobilesense looks to remain very promising.
plus we know they have support and will continue to update.
its not free, but its worth it if u can find it.
i use it and it is everything i need.
To the OP, your comments would be better suited on the developer's site. Ageye has stated that further development of Infinity is unlikely since the current WindowsPhone OS will soon be obsolete. Too bad. I really liked this shell.

Hello
I really like using the S pen features however - when you create a note book how do you get the hand written text in the notes to change into formatted text - as all im left with is my hand written notes and I want them to be formatted. Hope that make sense.
Thanks and happy new year !!!
In Snotes - select (little cloud tool) - transform to - text. In action memo you can't.

I used to have a Note 8 and the S Note was great. Could start to write at the top and as each page filled up it would insert another page. I am talking about hand writing that is changed to type.
The S Note on the 10.1 2014 is utter rubbish. You cannot start typing at the top of a document and keep typing until a page is filled. You are FORCED to use text boxes. This means that if you just keep typing in the same box it does not overflow onto another page.
Does anyone have the Note 8 S Note .apk
Regards
Colin

No offense, but your lack of investment in even trying to find out how to do what you're moaning about is rubbish. Did you really think Samsung would blow-away a highly used feature like ink-to-text? Moving to the new version of S Note was kind of jarring at first but it does everything the old version does/did with less clutter and easier access to highly used features. After time I've grown to prefer it.

While I had the Note 8 I did the hack that allowed the Snote from the Note 2014 to be used on the Note 8. I prefer the newer version of Snote also.

With respect you have not read my post right. I click on the "T" for text then write in the box below and my handwriting is changed into text up above as I am writing. It is in a damned box which I cannot find out how to change. I have searched this forum and youtube and found nothing. The little box you show on top doesnt give me the options you show the only option i get is lasso or rectangle. I do get the options if I write freehand then select the writing. I do not want to do it that way.
Can anyone tell me how to get rid of the dammed box.

You mean the title box at the top of the first page? Long press it and these are your options...
As for the rectangle tool... Handwrite your full page of notes, select the rectangle tool, and drag it to cover the entire page. The transform options then present themselves.
This is what I mean. See the blue line around the text that is a text box and when you hit return the text box gets bigger. There is no way to get rid of the text box that I can find.

That IS the title box. It's meant to be filled in with the keyboard. When the keyboard pops-up you're select handwriting mode which is fine but the title box is the only thing on a blank page that accommodates text; even if you choose to handwrite vs. type that text. All you need to do is handwrite whatever you want on an S Note page and when you're finished use the method I describe to convert it to text. The old S Note "insert text box" has been replaced with the method I've described.
Edit: I just deleted the title box. When I hit "text" it popped up another box just like the title box. So you CAN use boxes and the handwriting keyboard to create "on the fly" converted-to-text handwritten notes. That's pretty much the way the old S Note "insert text box" worked. Personally, with the introduction of "transform" I don't see a benefit of screwing around with real time conversion; it just slows down my note taking.

How did you delete the text box. Never mind found it.
I am sorry but the method you suggest is consulted. Each time I want to convert text I have put a box around it and say convert. Why do that when I can convert on the fly. I repeat my request anyone got the Note 8 SNote apk it was much better.

I really think you're just confused.
There are two ways to convert ink to text in the new S Note
Write your heart out on as many pages as you want and then select all or part of what you've handwritten and convert it to text after-the-fact; including translation in to multiple languages. Unless you have unbelievable penmanship and get a 90+% accuracy rate on the handwriting keyboard then it's a much better solution, at least it is for me. The way you're describing either slows me down considerably correcting misinterpretation of my handwriting as I write or if I go for speed tons of after-the-fact corrections I need to make.
Create text boxes (which are really designed for text-based graphical elements, not full-page notes) anywhere and everywhere you want and use the handwriting keyboard to convert ink-to-text on the fly. This works the same as I remember the old S Note working on my N10.1-12.
With the introduction of S Finder you can now search on handwritten notes so I don't need as many of my notes converted to text. If they are for my own personal use I'm fine leaving them in handwritten form. And the new method (transform) lets you pick and choose what you want converted. For example, of three pages of handwritten meeting notes there may be a couple of paragraphs or sentences I'll want to reference in a follow-up e-mail or document. I'll transform them, copy/paste them in text form where I want them, and then undo the transform which leaves the whole note handwritten.
With all that said, I still don't understand what you're trying to accomplish that any of the above doesn't address or that the old S Note did better or differently. The help file available in S Note has a great deal of info and a ton of shortcuts. You might want to read it. Also there's a Windows version of S Note that allows you to create new notes on your PC, view/edit notes from your device, and keep them sync'd. It only works with the new S Note format that was introduced starting with the N3. To each their own but I can't imagine going back to the old S Note.

That is exactly my Point. On the Note 8 you could write in the yellow box and it was converted into text as you went. Not in a text box just on the paper. You could if you wanted create a text box or you could just write and convert as you go. I want what the Note 8 could provide. I dont want to write freehand until I am finished then put a box around it to convert it to text. My hand writing is bad real bad but the Note 8 way I could see when I made a mistake. Waiting until all my writing was done would be a nightmare, trying to figure out what I really meant.
I have tried it your way and it was terrible.
I have found another app that will do it so am not going to try SNote any more.
But thanks for your patience.

It's been a while since I used the old S Note but if I remember correctly when you opened a new note there were two text boxes. One for the title and one below which could be used for body text. The only difference between the old and new S Note is that with the introduction of transform there's no longer a second text box that can be used for body text automatically present. If while the text "T" is highlight you touch the line underneath the title with the pen a text box will appear that looks and behaves exactly the way it did on the old version. So to make the new S Note behave like what you're used to now requires the extra step of creating a second text box. Am I missing something?
If you're just typing stuff, why not use another app like the preinstalled polaris office? S note is meant for handwriting and it does a good job at it IMHO. But there are always options. Like lecture notes...

He's talking about writing in the stock keyboard and having it convert to text that appears in S Note. I used it too before transform and S Search were introduced. It was pretty much the only way to get handwriting in to text.
Your all such.........ugh.....he wants to do it on the fly similar to a text layer in lecture notes or the way the old snote did text notes. He also specifically pointed out the desire for snote to continue automatically adding pages as he continued writing which it will not do in the new version. One issue I find with snote on the 2014 is the lack of portrait oriented notes. I cant change mine to portrait no matter what I do.

Not sure I follow you. You know you can create a notebook using a portrait template, right? From main (Recent notes) screen, Menu > Use New Template, then choose one of the portrait templates.
Mine doesnt have any portrait templates only landscape ones. Trust me I've looked. I even tried creating custom templates by putting them into the file system. Nothing. Can you post a screen shot showing a protrait template?

The Galaxy Note 4 seems to use te horrible up/down date-picker which makes it hard to enter years that are far off etc. Is there a way to change that to one which allows direct input of dates?

hi ,
what i do is...
just press on "number /years ..etc and a keyboard with numbers, wil popup and you just type on number keyboard ,much faster like this ect
Direct input ......What you want ?
Thanks. That works, but that is still not as comfy as some other date pickers that let you pick a date on a calendar.. Is there a way to upgrade the date picker (maybe via some 3rd party app)?
Hello, XDA-Comminuty.
I selected a long text with 64 Lines that I wrote with the stock Samsung Keyboard of my Note 3. I wanted to copy it and paste it into a text editor to save it.
Suddenly, this tooltip with the editing options (Copy, Paste, Cut, Select all, clipboard) disappeared, and I touched the keyboard button R with my S-Pen, while the complete text was selected.
I thought: Damn it! What the hell happened?
But I knew, that this is no computer or Omnia 2 (GT-i8000), where I can press STRG+Z (CTRL+Z) or pushing Revert in a context menu (The Omnia II does have this feature actually).
I can't believe that a high-end Android-Smartphone possibly lacks of such a feature.
My question is: Is it possible to revert text changes in a text box? (Something like STRG+Z)
I would really appreciate any help. Thank you.
Does it really have no undo feature? Does the Note Five have undo? A current flagship should have this, because the Omnia 2 GT-i8000 from 2009 also had it.
