The pen detection for HTC devices is included in version 6.2 and higher. You can get it on the Android Market or download the apk for free from Google Code
Thanks for your help in debugging/testing!

Is there a preferred way to get in touch with you for more testing?
I currently have both the Flyer and Jetstream. Pen input works on both with pressure sensitivity.
I can't seem to get zooming to work at all.
I have a number of suggestions as well. I had actually been thinking about forking your code to make adjustments

Press the 4-diagonal-arrows icon. Then you can pinch-to-zoom, at least it *should* work ;-)

Hi! This method works well. But when I double tap, it zooms just a tiny bit. About 5% is my guess.

Double tap switches between fill screen width and fit everything on screen. If your virtual paper is almost the same as the screen, then the change can be very small. Try e.g. A4 paper and rotate the tablet into landscape, then you'll see a huge change.

Got it. This app is perfect. Just one suggestion- Please enable pinch to zoom in quill/pencil modes so that we can zoom in to write with 2 fingers and drag with one finger. This allows writing to be more neat. at the moment I have to switch between quill and drag mode to and fro.
:: I have also noticed, while the htc note app recognises only 2 pressure levels, quill registers at least 4 different pressure levels.
I applaud the developer for getting the pen response implemented very well. I guess I was expecting more features with all the excitement, but it does what it says well. Not a replacement for the HTC notes app, but a nice little handwritten sticky note app.

Your palm will often trigger single-finger touch events, so we can't use those in the fountain pen / pencil mode.
Its intentional that the 2-finger move gesture while writing doesn't change the zoom - otherwise it is hard to fill a whole page with evenly sized handwriting.

Is this working with the View. The market says not compatible and when I try to install the apk I get a Parse Error.
i think it works on HC version, isn't?

I got the same error with the stock gingerbread, you need HC. I still prefer the stock Notes app. Syncing to evernote is brilliant.
Pen input mode?
There are 3 pen input options in v8.1, I tried all 3 but could only get my scribe stylus writing to appear when the "any touch event writes on screen, no gestures" mode is active. This is not so handy because I lose out on the gestures. Anyone get their scribe to work in the other modes? Seems like it should recognize the scribe in all modes!
I'm on wifi-only Flyer with latest HC release.

On my old Dell Streak, and my Asus Transformer, I can zoom in on text until it was a comfortable size and double click it. This word wraps the text to the size of the screen.
I can't seem to do this on my beautiful new SGS2 The menu option "Auto fit pages" doesn't appear to work this way (although it is better than nothing)
Is there a way?
If u do search you'll definitely find answer in forum. I use Dolphin HD browser which does it with no probs.

I use Dolphin and it doesn't do it. Neither on any other application. So what's the solution?
On my old HTC it worked on anything I did it on.
I don't think that there's a solution for this (at least in the stock browser that I use), though I'm fine with the 'Auto-fit pages' option on.
What you're asking for is exactly what "Auto-fit pages" is for, and it works perfectly for me. I can only guess that something is different between our devices (branding changes, different FW versions etc..)
Despite being overkill for such a small issue, is trying a different ROM out of the question?
Solved it by enabling Pinch-zoom button. That is the -/+ that shows up in the bottom right of the browser when you touch the screen.
Strangely you have to use this and zooming with your fingers won't work as stated by this thread.

Pinch-to-zoom doesn't do it, but double tapping to zoom in/out does.
Double tapping won't get the zoom you require it will zoom to fit the screen.
Try enabling Pinch in Dolphin browser. It works and is already enabled in stock browser.

Not true. It zooms to suit the "Default zoom" setting.
The first attachment is normal viewing, and the second is after I double-clicked the top left of the article. As you can see, the text is reformatted to fit the screen (not the other way round), and it is more than large enough to read. This is with default zoom set to medium.
I know this is an old thread, but I found it by searching for a solution for this problem as I now have a Note with the same issue, on ICS.
I think it's Samsung’s fault. It worked perfectly on my Galaxy nexus.
however, the good news is that there is a solution.
Download ICS browser+ from Google Play. Its great.

You have to double click twice... First double click = zoom, second double click is text refllow.
After the second double click you can pinch and zoom to any desired level and the text will reflow accordingly :good:

Tried it but it won;t work. I did the automatically text reflow too option too and when I zoom in just past the screen it automatically zooms out.
Even if I do a double tap it automatically zooms out.
Maybe it's my firmware. I'm on stock "I9100XWLPD". Could you or anyone else that got this working let me know which "exact" stock firmware you have so I can give that a try?...

I dont know if this is possible within the framework of Honeycomb, but I was wondering if I was possible to add gesture control using a root-access app?
Personally, I'm only looking for one feature: WebOS style task switching. I love the way Honeycomb multitasks, but I wish I could just swipe up from the bottom of the screen (starting on the bezel below the screen) and have it open up Honeycomb's app switcher. For reference, WaveLauncher implements similar WebOS-lite utility with a similarly implemented gesture implementation.
And just for the hell of it, I think it would be great if there could be an option to open the task switcher horizontally across the middle of the screen. I know I know, "Go buy a touchpad!" I'm just saying I think it would be awesome, and I'm certain others would think so too.

there's this app call dock4droid. you can find it in the market. some member post about this app some time ago here. I am using that app now. it works great.you can choose to put it on left/right top or down, anywhere you like. it will show recent app, and you can customize what app to appear on that dock.
sorry for my poor explanation. download it and have a try, it should fits what you want. I think. There's a free version of it.
p/s : i never touch the multitask button ever since i used this app it's kinda lag for me
I am I afraid there is no good solution, and each app that overlay your screen like this one will make your tablet lag :-(

I was thinking more along the lines of an individual button next to the task switcher. It's surprising how much quicker & intuitive things feel when there is only one action needed to be performed (one swipe, one button press, etc.).
Anyway, I'm just sorta spitballin' in this thread. I've been using an Android phone for over a year now, and my tablet for a few months, and I still haven't been able to get over missing WebOS style multitasking. That's not to say I'm dogging on Android's, it works well, it's just not the absolute best.
Is there any minimize button? It wold be what I need

The home button
This is a great idea, but may only be possible on rooted phones with custom ROMs. I am going to look into an implementation that does not toll performance or battery. Perhaps a simple widget at the bottom of the home screen? Then again that would require going home first, making the widget redundant.

So exactly like the blackberry Playbook... that's exactly what it does ... swipe from bezel to open multitasking
The only thing I miss from IOS is ACTIVATOR.
So many options.
You could hook any action/gesture to any app.
It was awesome.
Sometimes is cumbersome to hit the home button located at the bottom when I'm holding the tab with both hands on the sides.
Would pay money for an activator equivalent.

Yes, and just like the TouchPad/WebOS.
A swipe gesture from the bezel is inherently easier than almost any other single input option because when holding the tablet there is at least one digit within an extreme proximity to the bezel & screen. I would say over 90% of my usage patterns are with me holding the tablet in at least one hand, and a large majority of me holding it with both hands. In my case, gestures like that are accessible from any direction and any side of the screen, and would be superior than having to click a 20x20 pixel button in a single location that isn't near either of the places where my hand naturally holds the tablet.
Again, for other people their usage patterns may dictate a better option. I just happen to think most people use their tablets in a manner similar to mine, which would make these gestures extremely useful.
Gesture Control
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535740
Hello all,
I am looking into getting an HTC Flyer, but strangely I find it a little hard to get precise information as to what I find its most original feature : its stylus.
The thing is, years later, I am still using my good old HTC Blackstone/Touch HD1, its winmo os and its resistive (!) screen.
The reason is, I find using a true, really accurate stylus, as opposed to finger control, is far more comfortable in many cases and, most importantly, brings many functionalities.
I was wondering if you could help me figure if I will get this from the Flyer.
Questions :
1) Is that correct ?
- as an hardware, the stylus/digitizer is very accurate. (I am thinking approx. 0.5mm large selections like the blackstone).
- no handwriting recognition exists at present for the Flyer nor has been announced.
- there is no advanced drawing app for Android that would make real use of such a pen
2) May I :
- disable capacitive sensor when writing or drawing with the pen, so that my hand won't interfere
- make use of really accurate selection, such as :
clicking small items (ex : one small button or link while other are close) on a more or less zoomed out webpage
While editing text, select specific word parts or insert the cursor precisely
- use a Palm OS emu and get its stylus-based features like handwritten letter recognition ?
Thanks for any help/comment on these

It is quite accurate in that where you press the stylus is where the mark appears. Pressure sensitivity is also very good. It's far better than a normal capacitive stylus.

Correct. FWIW, Lenovo has handwriting recognition.

There is a note-taking app where you can draw to your heart's content, but I wouldn't describe it as "advanced".

Then the stylus is near the screen, capacitive sensing is automatically disabled, but it's not perfect. Especially when the stylus has a low battery, you will still accidentally get a touch input here and there.

In Gingerbread (which currently ships), whenever you try to use the stylus in a non-stylus app (gmail, browser, etc), it just takes a screenshot and lets you draw on that. However in the Honeycomb leak, the stylus will act like a very small finger in apps that don't have specific support for it.
In general, I'd say no, with the caveat that it might work in Honeycomb. However in an app like Notes, I think it'll still just add a drawing, not select text.
- use a Palm OS emu and get its stylus-based features like handwritten letter recognition ?

That might be possible in Honeycomb where the stylus can work like regular touch input if you use a third-party graffiti-style input method. (There are some on Android Market) In Gingerbread, I don't believe that would be possible.
So I was looking for an app with palm rejection for the Transformer Prime. I was kind of looking for something similar to Notetaker HD for the iPad which uses the bezel of the tablet as the palm rejection area.
I couldn't find anything similar on the Android market so I decided to give another try on Supernotes. What I ended up doing was putting a regular computer mouse pad on top of the tablet and using the "Guided Line" feature to make sure that I was on the right spot. So far so good, this is in fact the best solution that I found and works way better than any other app!
However I'm having problems reading my own notes. I can't seem to find a simple Zoom feature on Supernotes, so could someone tell me how to zoom in? If it is not possible, are there other apps that have a similar "guided-line" feature and its as organized as Supernotes.
Thanks a lot!
I am not aware of a way to zoom in SuperNotes either. That has been my biggest problem with it.
Here are some handwriting apps that I have tried on the Transformer Prime that have zoom features that you may want to check out:
LectureNotes: my favorite (so far). Has scroll bars and zoom feature so you can write in the zoomed mode. Has option to enable a "save zone" for palm detection. 3 standard pens, and 12 custom pens that you can configure the size, color, and opacity. Can add multiple layers (overlays) to each page. Can enter text via keyboard. Can add keywords to each page, and search across notebooks for those keywords. Developer is very responsive, and has implemented suggestions and fixes quickly. There is a free trial version (limited # of notebooks and pages), and a paid version.
Writepad Stylus: Very good palm detection. Has zoom mode (can write in zoom mode), and scrolling. 3 standard pens, and 4 custom pens. 4 paper types, but cannot change the pattern size. Can enter text via keyboard, but it's a bit quirky.
Antipaper Notes: No palm detection. Has zoom mode, (can write in zoom mode), and scrolling. 6 pen sizes in 3 colors (15 colors in Pro version). 4 paper patterns, but cannot change the pattern size. No text entry for keyboard. Free and Pro version.
Hope this helps...
Yeah note taking apps on android are really behind ios right now but it seems like things are picking up. Hopefully in few months we will see something comparable to Notability.
Try wearing a glove or long sleeve. Better than carrying around a mouse pad.

I think that TouchScreenTune requires your device to be Rooted, correct? I've been holding off rooting my Prime, but this may be a good reason to do so.

OK after using it today, i found it pretty straightforward and simple to use.
Found only one small bug,when playing a video, on YouTube, stock player or whatever, if you touch the screen the on-screen controls jump on, you cannot press them, but the UI do popup.
And one suggestion, the resizeable square where you select the zone to be blocked from touches should have at least a small pad or something to drag it. Once the square reaches the borders it gets really hard to pick again.
