Anyone have a suggestion for a great notes app that they like. Notes from a class or simply jotting down some brain storming?
Catch Note is not bad, its been optimised for HC
I've been using Extensive Notes - it has some pretty robust features and looks great on the tab.
power note is the best. its simple and allows you to also look at your notes from the chrome browser using quick note as it has a sync function
Note everything pro still my fave.
I use my own application Notes. The newest version (2.0) has been released yesterday and is optimized for tablets - https://market.android.com/details?id=nl.jacobras.notes&feature=search_result
best note app optimized for tablet
What I have found after searching all over is MaplePaint, check the market!
Jacob nice app I love it how do I remove adds?

This is fantastic but the one thing all simple note apps seem to lack... the ability to create categories/folders.
I wish I could find a simple, well designed note app like this that actually supported folders/categories.
If it also synced to an online service (Google Docs for example) it would be even better.
I'm using Flick Notes for this. It's not tablet optimized yet but works fine on Honeycomb, and syncs flawlessly (so far) with the SimpleNote web service. SimpleNote in turn syncs with Notational Velocity on my Macs, and also saves notes into a Dropbox folder (need a paid account for that though). It's plain text only, and instead of folders it uses tags and search for organization, but overall this system works pretty well. Also there are SimpleNote clients for Windows, Chrome, emacs, vim, iOS, etc that can all sync to the same web account.

I agree, I've been looking for a note application that alows for cascading categories. Integration of to-do lists that can be checked off would be awesome too.
extensive nots
Many feature including free hand drawing add folder options and some pre defined folders for spacific files. Most complete out of the many I have tried. Works well with writing free hand notes with dig pen as well
I use mNote, which syncs to my simplenote account (https://simple-note.appspot.com/).
Just thought I might share this experience for those who are foolish enough like me. You must understand I am not a developer but I love to tinker.
While most are busy porting apps, wallpapers, ringtones, etc from the Galaxy S4, I thought why don't I port the Galaxy Note 8 instead. So with a bunch of foolishness, I downloaded the Galaxy Note 8 N5100XXBMC9_N5100OXABMC8_DBT Firmware, extracted, deodexed and zipaligned it and copied all the system/apps and the system/frameworks & system/etc/permissions and a lot of system/lib files & /media and /fonts folder, packed it in a pre-made note1 rom, edited the build.prop and set lcd density to 213 (as this is the density that the note 8 is using) and flashed it thru recovery. Luckily it booted and reached the Setup screen showing some errors which I ignored and just went thru the whole setup wizard sometimes rebooting itself and going back to the setup screen again until I finally made it thru the google setup page and eventually the homescreen and greeted with a very nice wallpaper. At this point, the systemui is not working, nor does wifi but telephony works so does mms. Gallery, Video Player, Music Player, File Manager, Splanner with pefect fitting Calendar widget, Email, Alarm, World Clock, airview and some other extra apps - all working fine with few minor bugs. Calculator, Snote, Quick Command, screenshot not working.
So I immediately tried to activate multiwindows which is the feature I am after. Like the note1 and note2, just long pressing the back button activates the multiwindow bar. There are two modes to the multiwindow bar, dual mode and cascade mode. While the note 10.1 uses the systemui traybar to show multiwindow apps, the Note 8 uses the flashbar tray to launch multiwindow apps. There are some differences as you can see in the video.
There are a lot of work to be done for a full port specially the systemui and wifi. I am not sure which framework files or lib files are hardware related so I am not sure if it is worth the effort to make a full port at all. But I learned some things doing this foolish thing and might give others the courage to try things, to learn, to explore even in the face of failure. I am still as noob as when I started learning about android 4 months ago. There is so much to learn and I am having a great time being part of an open system and a great community like xda. I would say there is so much more to learn here than in school. For all the things I have learned in a span of 4 months here in xda, I would like to say THANK YOU.

In the meantime, I have uploaded the Note 8 Apps HERE for those who want to use it on stock note1 rom preferably at 213 Phablet or Tablet UI.
I believe we have a good dev here that can help you to port..hope so..:fingers-crossed:
Thank you Xperiacle, thanks for keeping our note alive with your mods. Thanks you for all!

"IF" and when I have a stable enough port of the Note 8 ROM, I will definitely SHARE it here in xda. At the moment it is pretty unstable and I am having second thoughts about it. Using it for a while, there is nothing really special about it except of course the multiwindow feature. It uses a mostly WHITE theme which is not good for battery life and eyesight. Apart from the new flashbar multiwindow, most Note 8 stock apps can run on stock JB note1 using 213 dpi like TW Launcher, Galllery, VideoPlayer, MMS, Email, Task Manager, Music Player, Splanner, Clock and Weather Widgets, File Manager, Awesome Note, Flipboard, Svoice, Chrome, etc. Gesturepad does not run but there are better alternatives on the PlayStore. Polaris Office tablet runs well on the port but on the stock note1 rom, it doesn't run probably because it is checking some signature. Readers hub now detects whether device is rooted or not and does not run on rooted roms. Snote tablet does not work but the Snote ported by arsaw for GS3 works well enough. As the systemui is not working I could not test the Reading Mode feature - it could be something that can be ported from android.policy. The rest are just minor stuff.
Talking about the multiwindow feature - the default uses the same native multiwindow as the stock multiwindow on the note1 and note2 which is the multiwindow feature shown on commercials and Note 8 review sites. But once you delete the com.sec.feature.multiwindow.phone.xml file in permissions folder, you will get multiwindow just like the one on the video I have shown which is better of course as apps can be maximised and restored to window mode back and forth - which is already available on note1 using my floating multiwindow and tablet ui mods.
What are your thoughts, Guys? What feature do you think is worth porting/using a Note 8 Rom?
P.S. I have uploaded the base ROM and it is very unstable at the moment but it lets you experience first hand what I have been talking about. It is only for those who know what they are doing. So if you are interested to try, send me a PM and I will share the link. But a BIG WARNING, I am not responsible for any damage that may result in flashing it. It uses Philz xxlsz 4.35 kernel which do not have the bootloop fix but it's the one I use because I dont get bootloops with it. As for the Note 8 stock apps for those who are using 213 phablet or tablet ui modes, I will upload them later.
For anyone interested the stock n5100 (note 8) download link from Sam mobile is http://www.hotfile.com/dl/200082066/9df9e66/N5100XXBMC9_N5100OXABMC8_DBT.zip.html

I posted the link because many of the apk files themselves are useful alongside with xposed framework and per app DPI settings.
But since YOU are so concerned I will post a warning.

xperiacle, mods are your forte. Roms are bound to present stability issues. Mods also give flexibility for improvisations and enhance the learning experience. so more mods please
Some updates...
I have managed to port fully working Snote with idea sketch with more features than the note2 snote app. Also comes with S Page widget. A better looking Quick Snote.
I also managed to port the keyboard with three layouts - qwerty, floating, split - and with awesome handwriting recognition using vision objects engine.
So far, Splanner with handwriting mode perfectly working with perfectly fitting widget on Homescreen at 213 dpi.
Polaris Office tablet working with some watermarks but can be hacked with smali edit I guess.
All ported apps will be shared once I finished pinpointing the necessary lib files.

Hi Xperiacle, this is great! I admire the SNOTE you provide.
Just noticed it's UI is clipped (undo redo arrows) and possibly other controls. Was not successful changing the DPI for this app, also no problem changing it for others. Any suggestion how to change it?
Also - don't you have additional languages for the hand writing recognition, particularly Czech?
Thanks a lot!
Is it possible just to get that keyboard?

I'm sure some people have figured this out and there might even be a post about it, but I just wanted discuss what I've done to get some S-pen functionality back and to hear about what you've done. I just flashed ParanoidAndroid 3.1 and it's absolutely awesome. I didn't think I'd like not having the Samsung apps but I'm easily getting over that. I'm an avid pen user so naturally I'm doing everything I can to continue using. (Yeah it's like a drug to me.)
So, here's what I have going on:
I use GMD Spen control (found on the market for $$) to retain some gestures and add a few of my own. Unfortunately the frequently used screenshot tap is Samsung only so I'm at a loss there. It works excellent tho.
I use Catch Sketch to replace S-note. So far this app works great. The pen selector seems has a bug on the last pen and looks a lil goofy but it's basically the same as S-note. It seems to lack the color copy feature but it might show up when your coloring on a photo or something.
I use Swype that I downloaded from their actual website to retain the write to text feature.
So that's what I'm working with. If anyone has suggestions or things you've found work better please let me know!

The only thing missing for me is the ability to take snap shots of certain parts of the screen. With the Samsung stock rom I like to be able to circle parts of the screen and cut them out. I have not found any AOSP alternative to this yet. So for now I just take a full screen shot and then crop out the bits I need. Only an extra step but hey ho.
Yeah I completely forgot about that feature. Hopefully someone will be able to make similar applications soon. But they'll probably end up replaced and obsolete soon anyways lol

Hey guys I have an question to you.
Does it happen to you when you write on the screen with the S-Pen and you put it away, that for one to two seconds your screen doesn't react to fingerinput? No matter what app I use this happens but not in Samsung roms.
I don't generally use the s-pen, except to show off the bigger Note's flagship features to awestruck noobs. I moved to 4.2.2 but came back to a Sammy firmware based ROM yesterday, due to some issues. I used to play with the S-pen a lot when I bought the phone. There's one great s-pen app that I like, though - Scribble Racer.

Yep. S-Note isn't the best for anything really. I was a fan of Lecture Notes for quite a time, now I'm using Papyrus which isn't quite as customisable but makes up by being lighter and faster. It's quite adequate for my humble needs.

I just dont have the safe feeling without my samsung apps eventhough I used apex but the feeling of samsung is gone.And im sure you would want a rom build out of a samsung note 2 source rather than a aokp or cm10.1 or even aosp or aospa sources as to me I feel it lacks of a samsung felling.battery life definitely sucks too.and to relate back to the spen well I wouldnt want to remove the spen feature even seldom use it.cuz snote sometimes comes in handy too.
You can use a gesture to take a screenshot with the S-Pen with this app, and edit the screnshots.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...2Vjb2xkYXBwcy5zY3JlZW5zaG90dWx0aW1hdGVwcm8iXQ..
But yeah can't do the selection thing.
I wish one of the note apps had floating windows.
This app is interesting, but no way to save or anything (yet).

What about handwriting recognition w/ keyboard? And airview? Handrite looks fine, will have to check it out, but I keep going back to S Notes - funny
because I don't really love it either :/
Awesome Note is great, and doesn't work as seamlessly on AOSP as it does with TW, but the size is too tiny for my liking anyways, on Note II since it's optimized for Note 8.

Great app. Maybye this link should be posted in the Theme's and Apps section.
I use Papyrus, very nice S-pen app
Hello,
Is it possible to install the stock Galaxy S4 camera app (and Gallery) on another ROM that isn't TouchWiz based e.g. CyanogenMod? I know most apps don't work because of the TouchWiz framework, but I wouldn't have thought the camera app and Gallery would be dependant on the TouchWiz framework...
And if you cannot do this, is there another app that is like the Galaxy camera app? I'm asking this because I really like the features on the app and the Android 4.3 camera etc. don't cut the mustard for me. And although I don't always use things like slow motion, I'd quite like to when the time arises.
As always, all help is greatly appreciated!
If you mean the SAMSUNG camera .apk?
Technically yes. But it won't run. You need a kernel that supports it plus a bunch of .apks I think (as the camera uses other .apks for certain functions) due to post-processing and other stuff. This is usually why AOSP/AOKP roms don't come with the Camera. It's a really hard thing to move. Plus there's the issue with AOSP/AOKP and licensing issues like that Camera.apk is Samsung's property and can't just be ripped around and mass produced and fed into other roms without permission.
Though I guess most modding of any kind isn't exactly done with the developer's copyright in mind.. Either way the answer is Yes, but kinda no. Not that I've seen in any sort of AOSP/AOKP or GE project as of yet. I remember someone saying there were huge kernel issues amongst so many other things because technically it's part of Tw.
You can do it but your gonna need everything that goes along with that camera. Or if you got time download foxhound ROM, extract it and look for the stock Samsung camera amongst all the stuff. It should be in it's own little folder cause there are 2 camera options for that ROM.
Good suggestion...

Okay, I didn't think of that... Should I place the files in the system folder and make sure I DON'T replace any existing AOSP files e.g. the Gallery?
If this works you will be the saviour of my life! No more Sh*tWiz and an epic camera in one package!
Hello everyone,
This is my first time posting and I am fairly new to android, ROMS, development, etc.
Please forgive me if I ask any dumb questions or ones that have already been asked before, but so far, I haven't been able to find too much info on this.
I recently flashed the Temasek CM11 WO3 tweaks ROM and it worked amazing, however,as I'm sure everyone knows, there is no support for things like Air Command, air view, air gestures, etc. First, I was wondering if there are any mods/add ons that would be able to make use of this functionality, and second, I was wondering if it would be possible to place stock Samsung apps (snote3, action memo, etc) on the SD card and subsequently install them while running an AOSP ROM like the temasek one mentioned above? Would that work or would it just be a pointless endeavor?

Hello
Stock Samsung apps require samsung frameworks in order to work on your phone. In other words, you can't have samsung and AOSP at the same time. This is why you don't see samsung and HTC apps available for other devices, as they will not work without being excessively hacked to work with other frameworks
In an analogy.. the bonnet on a ferrari will not fit on my mazda3 without being hacked to fit, to work on the different framework

There are equal alternatives to S-Note and other Samsung s-pen apps.
Try:

Together with:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tushar.spen_helper
Or maybe:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmd.spencontrol
Been using Samsung along with AOSP based roms for years now and haven't missed Samsung S-Pen apps a sec.
Nice, and what apps do you suggest for jotting notes down using the Spen? I was under the impression that Evernote supported it but I was never able to find this option in the program.
I haven't used Evernote in a while, so things might have changed. And I'm on SlimKat ROM, so I guess I'll need additional software to make Spen work.

You could try Handrite, there's a free and pro version on the Play store.
You can have multiple notebooks in which to save your notes (on the free version you can only have 3 notebooks) and there are multiple options to customise your text (colours, underline, you can mix your writing with regular text input, etc)
evernote. handwriting
I use evernote pretty regularly. When you creat page you can go to the top There is a plus symbol at the top. Press this and gives you drop down menu. May eed to hit more handwriting is there.
They are correct spen features must use touchwiz. You can use a launcher that makes device feel different and aircommands etc will work. I am running a rom based off i317 and n7105 hybrid that have these options. Great thing is that you can sync snote with evernote so can open with aircommands and then will sink to evernote. This way you can view on another device like computer.
The advantage to slim rom is removal bloatware makes cor a smooth runnig device. Oems sometimes push their own without actually working to optimize like they should. Poor battery etc.
If you want something similar to aircommands you could try something like pie controls. Have it set to launch an app.
You might try something like papyrus. I believe it has setting to use finger or active pen in menus.
Enjoy!
