Hi guys
2 questions:
1. Are the Sense widgets resizable like the other HC widgets?
2. Would someone be able to describe how the pen can be used in the PDF app that HTC have included. I.e. what exactly can you do with it?
Cheers

The Sense widgets are not resizable, but they look nice at the size they are.
The PDF app that comes with the Jetstream is PDF Viewer.
It allows you to highlight PDFs and write on them. You can choose the highlight color and ink color for your markups and drawing/writing. Nothing you can't do with a printed copy.
If you are looking for sticky notes and serious annotation, check out ezPDF or Repligo. Both are more robust. You can use the pen with both of those apps as well.
They are paid apps and cheaper in the Amazon Apps Market....
Hope this helps!
I have been looking and I am trying for find a free hand drawing app(something similar to the Windows Paint program) for the View. I wanted to find one that will allow you to use the scribe pen for drawing. Any suggestions?
I have been using Sketchbook Pro on Honeycomb. It's awesome. It does not support the native scribe interface, but it supports using the pen and is pressure sensitive. But it has their own brush / color / etc management (which to me seems more robust than what HTC provided)
Try jet draw for a really simple drawing app.

But any body that tried jetdrow?
got my new scribe today, and i love it..besides the built in stuff, what other apps utilize the pen?
If you're on Honeycomb try Quill. Also there is the Sketchbook app (from AutoCad, I think) but you can use pro with Honeycomb.

Quill is definitely the way to go if you wanna take hand-written notes. Much better then the stock app. The writing is really natural =)
I just got my Scribe a few days ago and am looking for some good apps too. Sketchbook Pro is really good. I haven't tried Quill though. I wonder what else is out there
just used sketchbook and it rocks. is quill worth the dollar? lol. i like the built in pen menu on htc notes app... does quill allow you to use that too?

Once you're on Honeycomb, all apps support the Scribe. That's aprt of the reason Honeycomb rocks on the Flyer.
That said, here are a couple that benefit from the scribe:
Fresco - a painting program with pressure sensitivity
Drawing Pad - a simple drawing program for children
Citrix Receiver - a front-end for Citrix based virtual machines and applications. When connecting to a Windows 7 VM it's nice to have the stylus' fine selection point.
Quill is worth the dollar. I have been jumping back and forth between the stock app and quill to take notes and it's night and day for me. Quill seems more accurate and has more options.
I also heard there was a game "what the doodle" that worked well with the flyer/pen but I haven't tried that.
I do a lot of note-taking and idea-sketching for work. Quill is definitely worth $1. I have tried it and its pretty nice. But, found one that I actually like better, WritePad Stylus. (You can search for it in the Market.)
Quill, Writepad Stylus, Lecture Notes are all very good for note-taking. To quickly jot stuff down, I like Whiteboard Pro (was free on Amazon the other day). Foxit is my favorite for pdf annotations. I wish someone could port MyScript Stylus (universal stylus input) from the Lenovo app store. That would be a killer app!
howcome nobody liked the stock htc app for quick note taking? i think it's cool that it's evernote. for example, when I was in sketchpad and i hit the pen green button, it didn't bring up pen settings.. only, take a screen shot, notes, etc. that's what I mean. In quill or something, when I hit that, will my diff choices of pens, colors, sizes etc come up?

getting writepad now..some people say it's better than quill on the reviews
ugh, here's why i don't like it though. you can't hit the green pen button to bring up different choices of pens.
and it just crashed my flyer lol
------
trying quil.. btw, apparnetly quill is on sale, only 49 cents.
I'm pretty sure the only app that will use the green button to select pen styles is the built in HTC app.
All the 3rd party apps use their own pen selection methods
gothca.
i'm liking quill a lot, and for 49 cents, that's a deal
Check out trace too. It lets you load an image then trace it then remove the image

If you could suppress the keyboard I'd have no issues with the stock app. I like it better than Quill in terms of its support of the erase button on our pens and the fact that, since it's not vector based, you can erase in a more natural way (Quill forces you to erase entire lines).
However, every time I use the built-in notes app, the keyboard pops up almost as soon as I start writing. It only seems to enable palm rejection after you've started writing with the pen.

MyScript has already been ported. Check it out here. It's my favourite note taking app at the moment, but not for drawing (didn't even try it in that way). The only think I dislike is that it only let's you export one page of your notes at a time (at least in handwritten notes). Enjoy!

same problem here. my kb always pops up. so annoying.

Hmm, that is Notesmobile and FlexT9, not MyScript Stylus.
Thank you anyway.
Is it just me, or is there a pretty significant delay while using the s-pen on Papyrus? What can I do to fix this?
Also, what applications are good for note taking in class and have palm rejection or compatible with the s pen? I would prefer if I could write everything on a single page and scrolling instead of making a new page like i have to do in s note. I have been using Handwrite but it starts to lag after a while of writing. I would be using Papyrus if not for the delay.
Edit: Thanks for the suggestions. I just tried lecture notes and it's pretty good. I still really like how my notes look in Handrite though. Are there any other apps similar to it?

Lecture notes, at first start up you need to go into settings and enable things like palm rejection and pressure sensitivity. Once tweaked, lecturenotes is fantastic
Just to let you guys know, ezPDF has a new update which allows you to scroll and zoom when free-hand writing!
So it behaves just like lecturenotes and Snote now (albeit slightly laggy, which i hope kitkat will help with),
still not a perfect tool, but its a step in the right direction ~
But it won't work when using the Spen, only for the basic type of free-hand writing (the one that doesn't have an eraser)...
I noticed the latest update has significantly faster page turning and loading.
I'm now very impressed with the app, and tablet for reading magazines and books.

can you flip the page with your finger when you are highlighting or writing with the s-pen (on galaxy note 10.1 2014)?

Any ideas about this?
I use an app called Repligo Reader, pretty solid at editing PDFs and its S-Pen friendly.
I would try eZPDF reader, but the lag really pissed me off.
