I recently heard that Samsung has an agreement with Moleskine to launch an exclusive app for the Galaxy Note 2.
Does anyone know where I can get a copy of this apk or if it would even work on the SGH-i717?
Read the story here if you haven't already: http://www.androidauthority.com/moleskine-for-android-111775/
Also, I've seen the words," launched" and "launching" used on various sites so I'm not even sure if it's out there yet. If it is, I can't find it anywhere.
Link any interesting stories or apk downloads if you can.
I also need this, but for my Note 10.1, the interesting thing is that they're saying it will come "preinstalled" on the Note II AND 10.1.
Well, let's try to get a hold of it together. If you get it before me let me know and I'll do the same.

Nope, still waiting as well
I've joined this party as well, no luck yet but I'm on the prowl.
Great, the more the better. Good luck to everyone.
I've sent multiple tweets to Samsung/Moleskine asking about when and how the app will be available for existing Note 10.1 owners, never got a reply. Apparently all they know how to do is dissing the iPhone 5 with smartass tweets. So disappointing.
There has to be a leaked copy of that beta somewhere, I searched the entire system dump for the Note 2 and I also picked up the note 10.1. If it will be an exclusive Samsung release I suggest that we keep an eye out on the Samsung app store for all of you that have Sammy devices....and even then it will probably show up in the s-pen section.

I didn't have any luck finding it, but i did see the new Snote apps, Im having an issue with installing it. I've removed the original stock Snote and added the new files to system/app and changed the permissions. No luck!
Samsung replied to my question about when it will be released for existing Note 10.1 owners, they said "Unfortunately, we don't support 3rd party applications so reaching out to Moleskine will yield the most accurate information. Thank you!" Really?!
That's insane. What do they have to gain by making it so exclusive expect for driving up the want v.s. supply or the fact that it is still in its early stages and isn't ready for mass production, which I sincerely doubt.
This article states that a demo was only released and they wont be releasing Moleskine exclusively for 6 months after the initial release of what I am assuming is the Galaxy Note 2
http://www.androidcentral.com/hands-moleskine-android-samsung-galaxy-note-2
Here's what Moleskine had to say about the app release: "mid November it should hit the Samsung App Store. Pre-loaded was only for a few locations, sorry for the confusion"
And then we wait.
If anyone still interested in this, here's what I found https://getsatisfaction.com/moleskine/topics/moleskine_journal_android_app
Please share the apk
Moleskine Journal is on.... in samsung apps i want test in samsung galaxy s3 please share the apk

Does anyone have news on when we are getting this update?
Now that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is going on sale officially in NYC on June 8 WITH 3.1, I hope it is soon!
I just emailed the Samsung dev email from the Google I/O Device page. Hopefully I receive a meaningful response.

I did and will everyday til i get something,,,,logic would dictate there is not going ot be an update for 3.1 since all the tabs coming out have it so hopefully they do something or it will be avail to load once the tabs come out

I have the galaxy tab 10.1V and had no issue with my flash installation, so not sure why you say it isnt compatible with tablets
I got an e-mail from Samsung stating they have no idea when will the google IO limited edition tab will get an OTA update. Will post the e-mail here shortyl.

Which I agree.. Just don't understand as to why these where handed out to developers when its design to be tested for 3.1.... Especially when there is no option for United States OTA.

I think part of the reason it was handed out (besides publicity for Samsung) was to get some developers a real 3.X device to do any development on, and write some app, any app. Google needs Honeycomb apps up on the market, bad. At that point not having 3.1 yet isn't that big a deal. The Honeycomb emulator is a pile of suck and Google admitted as much at the conference, so this is a way to get people making stuff.
And if they can't directly OTA these things up to 3.1 from the gimped version of 3.0 that's on them right now, that doesn't seem like that big a deal. Google/Samsung can always email people instructions to go flash a zip; if you got on a plane to SF to go to an Android developer conference then an "adb push" and reboot should be a piece of cake for you

no on Netflix and the future of it on this tablet is quite grim too.
there's no native Facebook app optimized for tablets just yet (how silly is that), only the phone version which is not available for this device. people tend to like this as a substitute for now:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.locomolabs.facebook
or just use the browser.
i think Words With Friends is not tablet optimized either and thus not available.

There isn't even an iPad app for Facebook yet.
I use WWF on my Tab without issue
I use the Facebook app from my phone. Actually, it automatically downloaded and installed when I first logged into the tablet. It synced all my apps, even the ones that don't show up in a market search.
I read somewhwre, I believe it was the words for friends change log, that they were working on a tablet optimized version. Could be wrong though.

Friendcaster isn't free but it works great. FriendMe should have a new version out next week that's more usable. And Facebook iPad is coming out soon... so maybe HC next?
Friendcaster sucks IMO. Only thing it has is the feed. You're better off using the actual website. FriendMe is a little better but its still missing some of the core features.

Yes they did during the last update. They said they are working on a Honeycomb version. The phone version does work, but it cuts off the bottoms of the letters in your tray. You can't tell F's from E's for example. Also when you use a blank tile the letter chooser is not displayed properly.
That said, it does work.
I would assume the new UI will be more like the Ipad's.

I have WWF on my phone, and it auto downloaded to my tab when I opened the market for the first time.
Suppose I have to wait since this is my first Android anything
You can sideload it: Download it here
Completely legit, use the quick download button. Install Astro before you download it, and use the app installer.
http://www.getjar.com/mobile/48090/...6j608cinkp1p03r4&c=l2guqa0e2bj1jx0713&lang=en
I've got WWF on my tab. Auto downloaded first time. It blows on the tab atm. The bottom bar covers like 20% of the letters. for some you have to drag them up to see what they are. They need a tab version badly.

Just got my to.1 yesterday, I was in love with it until I found out these three apps were not available, looks like I will be returning it in the next few days, =( pretty bummed, I guess I should have researched this prior to purchasing, but they seemed like such basic app's that it never crossed my mind that they wouldn't be available

just spoke to a Netflix rep. to summarize, he said that they are very aware that tons of people are looking for a Honeycomb app, and that they have offered the major manufacturers (Samsung, HTC, Motorola..) the necessary things to integrate Netflix, and that it's up to the manufacturers to decide if they would like to implement the DRM needed to run Netflix. but since some of these manufacturers, Samsung for example, are planning on a media hub.. the Netflix rep said that Samsung might see it as competition to their own offerings. so we should all contact both Samsung and Netflix to let them know how badly we want Netlifx.

So I just finished chatting with Samsung and this is what they had to say....
Dave: Hi, thanks for reaching out to Samsung tech support. How can I help you today?
Andre: I recently purchased your new galaxy 10.1 and found out that there is no Netflix app compatible with it. why is that?
Dave: Please allow me to go through the inquiry.
Andre: k
Dave: Let me explain.
Dave: Netflix works on Silver lite to stream movies. The Samsung Tab doesn't support this Silver lite. However, Samsung and Microsoft are working to release a upgrade so that Tab will support Silver lite and then you can stream from Netflix.
Andre: how soon can we expect this?
Dave: I'm sorry; this information will be released only after releasing the appropriate upgrade for the Tab and I do not want to provide you with any false information.
Andre: are we talking weeks, months, years?
Andre: this is a big reason i purchased the tablet
Dave: I can understand your concern. I recommend you contact our phone support at 1-800-SAMSUNG (726-7864); they are available 24/7. I'm sure they'll assist you further in this regard.
Andre: k... thanks

That would really be great. I contacted the company and all they would tell me is that they are working with several, (unnamed), manufacturers to get this feature bundled with upcoming products.
True multi-tasking would fill a big void in the current Android offerings. I love my Tab but am reminded all the time that it is not quite the same as my Windows laptop. It does a great job doing what it can do but it cannot do everything... at least not yet.

I found this app in Samsung Apps for my Galaxy Note I and it had some really cool features so once I received my Galaxy Note II on October 1st and initially searched SA's to see if they were releasing the app for our Note II's.
Finally on October 16th Samsung finally released version 1.1.1. Be aware this is strictly for the Note II. I searched the entire SGN2 forum(s) to check if this was already posted and I didn't find a thing about it. I also wanted to see if anybody knew what this app is - again I found nothing.
So in the spirit of sharing without DRAMA (this is NOT a necessary app for all you nasty trolls out there who always seem to make rude and absurd comments) this is for all you who enjoy the perks of owning the coolest devices in the world.
I hope this downloads properly but if there is a problem let me know and I'll be glad to send it to anyone who asks. The only problem some of you may have is the size of the download, 86.93MB's. It'll be available on Google Drive within the hour. For those wanting it from Samsung just search "Retail Mode for Galaxy Note 2".
10/30 - UPDATE
I've tried to attach the link to download this app but for some reason I can't post attachments in my XDA Premium. I just posted this app simply because it's cool, fun, and the perfect answer to all those jealous iFanatics. And you will get immature comments and questions from every nosy butthead quizzing you about this BEAST. I don't say a word until AFTER they've seen the demos - actually they still ask if it really does all of that.
The Multi-Window screen shuts them up fast!
Yes, it does change a couple of settings and YES, you can retain the settings you had prior to install. There are a few tutorials videos within the app for those who are the brink of buying or for those who've never used a Galaxy Note before.
I never said it was necessary or needed, again I simply thought/think it's a cool. There was/is an app for the original Galaxy Note which serves the same purpose as this app does for this BEAST.It's just a fun, informative, and cool app to have around when you get those dumb, rude comments out of nothing more than pure jealousy.

Install it and enter 5444 as password (Change password if you like)..
Enable service.
And you are ready to show off your powerful Samsung Galaxy Note 2.
Have a FUN! :laugh:
Nice app but ur post is slightly misleading because you say features. This app is mainly meant as a demo mode interface. So triggering this app causes the note 2 to launch the demo mode (toggled from the app settings by enabling the service) and the device portrays the functionality of the Note 2 just like how u see in a store. So that's what its for. Its fun. But not exactly useful. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.

Searched and found this
Code:
[FAQs] Smart Phone : : What is the retail mode for Galaxy S2 in Samsung Apps?
A : It is for use in retail shop only for Marketing purposes –
For Customers: Do not download and install this application.
If this application activated, some functions like as screen lock &
screensaver are removed and it is not possible to restore them.
End-user / Customer does not need this tool. To prevent his use, there is a warning message and a password
setting requirement.
so not sure if that true or not
anyway thanks bro :good:

when you see a tablet/phone in a shop and its flashing through images of what the device can do that this app but it does so much more, blocks the lock screen can block wifi/bluetooth/3g has hunderds of permissions makes itself a device admin and worst of all rests your device every 24hrs
as i said i mean no offence and the only reason i have replyed is i was looking how to unistall this ****ing software and stumbled upon your post, i was sold a tablet with the software hardcoded TRUST ME YOU DONT WANT IT its a ***** to get rid of when its installed
I agree and I disagree!
YES I agree with just about EVERYTHING you're saying, I just wanted to point out that I DID in fact warn those who'd install this on their Note II that settings WERE/ARE overridden after install. I originally thought it was cool because (personally of course) I was able to grab a few images and a screensaver(?) I wanted at the time.
Actually I've grew tired of of Samsung' BORING products since they're all basically the same design theme over and over again plus the .02" screen upgrades aren't on par with the niche' market they created. I wanted a fresh, bold, and INNOVATIVE design I'd be happy with until the release of 4K (TRUE 4K) devices. I didn't/don't use my device as a visual capture tool, or want a device full of proprietary bloatware I'd NEVER use.
Yes sir, I graduated to the true beast of all smartphones/tablets presently available in the market today. Yes the Sony Xperia Z Ultra and it's worth every single penny I paid for it. Yes I know there downsides to owning such a device but I have yet to find any of them - this beast is perfect for ME and will keep me happy until the 4K devices finally are finally released.
But hey, Thanks for the heads of up man, I appreciate it, I sincerely do!
Beamed @ 17,500 mph from my Sony Xperia Z Ultra C6833! Service with a Smile!

Just a company who thought they could add Google play without permission. Google will shoot down their request and people will have to sideload like we do on gg

I reiterate...
...you're on XDA? And worried about play store access?
I'll make something that roots the device and sideloads the app store and google services all in one button. Don't worry your pretty little head. If that's the only thing they get wrong, then it's still the best device to date.

That's not my point! They lied to the consumer and cannot be trusted as a whole. They have been funded on kickstarter based on a lie, not just a small lie, but a giant fraudulent, refund my $ you bastards sized lie.
Root or no root, they sold it as a Google Play store accessible device. And it isn't!

They're still working on it, actually, and my understanding is that no 240x240 screen sized device will be capable of supporting it under android 4.3, so they may have it out when they update to 4.3, pending Google's say-so.
So a device that does not have certification for a version of Android that doesn't even exist yet is a fraud?
As far as it not coming on the Android 4.2.2 version, that was public knowledge back in early September.
Oh BTW

Hell. At least they updated you about it vs threatening folks publicly when ever anybody brought up any real issues.
BAWWWWWWWWWW QQ more. This isn't new knowledge and you're an idiot for thinking a company is a fraud because they hit a hiccup they didn't count on when bringing their product to the US.
This is XDA. You're complaining in the wrong place.

Are you serious?!? Name at least one crowdfunding campaign that treated their backers with as much respect, which had as many detailed updates, which had stayed on schedule, which has worked so hard around the globe? They came up front about Play store hiccup and even offered an alternative of another on-line store until they will resolve licensing issue with Google (which btw they are working on actively).
I don't understand everyone defending this "upfront" action they decided to take after a Google exec put the kabash on the Play store on this device last week. But I work for a manufacturer of medical devices and if we advertise something to be in our product it has to be there or we would get our assess sued into bankruptcy. My point was that they should have never advertised the device as a Google Play store capable device if they didn't have all their ducks in a row. Business wise, it's unethical and in other markets even criminal.

No need for name calling man. I'm just trying to wrap my head around this situation.

I wasn't calling you one. I will say none of your posts indicated you were trying to understand this so much as belittling those who don't agree with you.
If you want to discuss it, let's discuss it. Don't patronize people.

I certainly was not trying to belittle anyone in the XDA universe.
But the solution of sideloading the Play Store apk is unsettling to me. I own an OUYA and was an early adopter of one of the first Android tablets, the Viewsonic G-book. I have also been rooting and roming since the DROID 1. While ROMS and sideloading is great, it's just unstable and in some situations becomes a full-time job of keeping up with updates and fixes.
I love messing with my devices as much as anyone else here, but for once I'd like to just buy an Android device that I didn't feel the need to have to change in someway, and spending upwards to $300 on an Android device in 2013 with its fair amount of promises should deliver on them.

I agree with you completely and feel the same way but we need to draw the line here at calling it fraud.
I'm comfortable enough with side loading that it isn't an issue but the developer model is what is being discussed. November 30th is a long ways away in shipping terms and until they definitively say no I just think it's better not to get up in arms about it. Let them do their thing. Believe me when I say that if they screw this up they will sink.

ORLY. AGAIN, the play store (Google Services) issue was a matter of public knowledge for over a month.

Should they have removed the mention of Play Store being included back in early Sept? In my opinion yes. The release that recently came out should have also been done back then as well. "unethical"? Maybe. Criminal? No. The disclaimer that was a the bottom of their KS since day one covers their ass. Period, end of story, thanks for playing.

All the KS units are in the clear. The pre-orders may be another matter.
In my book, the campaign of AI Watch is fraudulent. Regarding Omate, I have a pretty good feeling that even if they would have published this disclaimer while campaign was active - they still would have gotten as much supporters/backers because for a lot of the people not including Google play store is not a show stopper. With a ways around it (sideloading), and alternative store, and active updates about working with Google to resolve this officially, I still say they built a strong community trust.
Btw, with Google planning to release their own smartwatch and probably a pressure from tanking Gear, something tells me there are political reasons for Google to continue delaying their decision. Just my conspiracy theory

At least Omate have admitted that Google Play support won't be there out the box, unlike AI Smartwatch, which is in the same position. They are still giving the impression it comes with Play store.

I think its really funny how people are complaining so much about it. i mean i am disappointed my self as its part of why i've pre ordered the 8gb 1gb omate truesmart but it wasn't the main reason the main reason is because its the best smart watch there is so far. I'm no programmer but I can still install apps etc so it wont be too hard for people to install them, them self's once someone provides us with them to install.
as for no smart watches coming with play store i have the omate prototype on my wrist right now (re-branded as simvalley aw-414.go) and it has play store built into the rom. i know because i factory reset it and it was still there. that being said i hope they make an update for the one I'm wearing right now as it has some terrible bugs on the ui that make it not so good for using some apps show multiple copy's of their icons and you can not remove any of them without uninstalling said apps, after you put so many apps on it some start to vanish and can only be seen if you search for them, it looks like they tried hybrid the app drawer and the home screens as their is no home screens so no widgets or only showing apps you want to see. it also has folders but their useless as you can only put 3 apps in them. it becomes useless if i install a different launcher to fix the other issues. do you think omate firmware would work on it ? because the firmware thats on it says omate_hw2.0_20130923.1 and the model number says omate too.
if someone releases firmware for it that works properly it would be not so bad and very similar to the lower spec omate internals wise? as it seems to be reasonable for its specs if you ignore those software bugs that should have been fixed before release.

I'm sure if it doesn't work right out of the box, we can make you a rom from the Omate that will work quite easily.

It does not sadly. I mean its still useable but the issues it does have make it not very good to use so it really needs a rom that works properly.
the rom thats on it is custom build version: OMATE_HW2.0_20130923.115849 and the model number is listed as OMATE.
but yeah I'd be really grateful if someone does make a custom rom for it that works properly and tells me which google play store version to install and were to get the apk etc, I'm also guessing they would need to make a rooting app for it too so it could be flashed tho right?
