Is there a way to assign the s-pen short cut of double tapping the screen while holding the side button to launching another app other than s-memo lite. I have a preference to using an alternative note taking app.
Devs?
Same here

I use the S Pen a lot. I'm trying to figure out a way to incorporate the back, home and settings button into my launcher (ADW)
The same way ICS does it basically to eliminate the need for the Capcative buttons.
Does anyone know of an app or way to put those shortcuts on your home screen? Its really annoying when using the S Pen to have to always go back to those buttons.

You know you can use the s pen right?
Press pen button while swiping back to go back
Press button up and swipe up to open menu
Press button and swipe down to go home
Samsung has all these tips in the phone
Menu.settings.spen
There is also a s pen tips app in the market...and lots of cool stuff on the facebook page.
If that doesnt work out for you there are a few apps on the maeket for "soft buttons"

You can use the S-Pen for going back, home, and menu. Hold the button and drag left for back, Button+down for home and button+up for menu.
Does anyone know how to remap the lock screen button (power button) to operate as a camera shutter button?
I know it's a pretty stupid request, considering the possibility that you might not be able to turn your device off afterwards.
However, when the camera is running, tapping the lock screen button doesn't actually turn off the screen, it locks it while the camera is still running. I'm guessing that this is a special command that the camera app itself activates. If this is the case, is there a way to edit the YP-G1 camera app to use the power button as a hardware shutter button only when the camera app is running?
I'm not looking for a hardware camera shortcut, just a hardware shutter button, because let's face it, it's not easy to take incognito photos when you have to tap the button on the touch screen instead of a hardware button.
There is n app called button remapper (I think) that serves the basic function you're looking for.

While the idea for this app ids close to what I'm looking for, I wonder if there's a way to change the behaviors for certain buttons ONLY within a certain app, not all the time.

Hi all....when you open up the camera app....how do you zoom in and out? Thanks

Volume buttons do the zooming.

Pinch to Zoom also works in camera...place your finger and thumb on the screen while in the camera, and pull them apart or squeeze them together to zoom in or out.

Here is how you change what the volume rocker does while the camera application is on:
While in the Camera App
Click on the 'Settings' Gear > Click on the 'Settings' gear again
A new window will pop-up with 3 tabs at the top. Click on the gear and from there, you can edit what your volume rocker does. Zoom In/Out, Take Photo, Take Video.

I can't tap on the menu button and back button with the s-pen on GN2.
Is there a way to get the s-pen to take you back to the home screen ?
I read some thread (from 2011 and 2012) about "menu button" and "return button" of GN2 and I wanted to know if definitively it was impossible to use these two buttons with s-pen.
Today I'm on custom Rom Android 4.3 DN3.
For the moment I use "GMD Spen Control.apk" who is a good substitut.
Maybe There's a way to make these keys work with the s-pen
Your advice is welcome
The circuit that generates the magnetic field which allows the s pen to operate, is only behind the screen. You can use the pen button and draw a gesture commands. Drawing an up arrow is menu and a back arrow like a less than sign is back.

OK
So it's a physical impossibility.
In that case, i think "GMD Spen Control" is the best way to simulate "menu button" and "return button" for me, because without this app i can't do anything
Many thanks for quick reply and explanation

Yup for us impossible. The note 3's digitizer does extend to the menu and back keys so it will work.
This absolutely annoying and hoping if there is away to disable to the double click function on Spen. Find when I writing notes my fat hands sometimes double click the button on the Spen bring up the shortcut screen. Is it possible to disable this?
