What apps do you use as a student for note taking? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

Was curious to know, if you are a student and not using the stock note application, which one are you utilizing that works well with the spen?

Personally I like snote alot. I usually always go 3rd party app but for the first time this phone has kept me intrigued with may stock features and apps. Gmd spen control is awesome too you can make the spen control literally the whole phone then.
Doin' big thangs from my Note Deuce

Same. Snote for me as well. It really is well polished and does just about everything I need

I've noticed on custom ROMs s-pen is useless far to sensitive maybe this will help. Going to test when i get home and report back. I prefer the tweaking method with screw driver.
Didn't notice any difference.
Really wish there was a way to calibrate the pen more than anything. I'm left handed and the cursor and accuracy of the tip is off making selections very hard. My tablet PC that uses a Wacom digitizer can be calibrated...don't understand why the Note can't have the same thing.
I use blackstar and novena and they both have a setting for lefties. Basically switches the point to the right side.

SPB shell 3D

Anyone using SPB shell 3D on their GN2s?
I have on 2 tablets and can run it on 3 devices with unlimited activation. So far it won't let me activate on my note. I'm waiting for a reply to resolve it.
There is a YouTube video and it looks like the s-pen will work. If s-note doesn't work I'm not sure I'll use this launcher although it is very cool.

I can't imagine why your S-Pen wouldn't work, it's tied to the digitizer in the phone. You will lack a couple of gestures, etc. but get GMD S-Pen Control if you're rooted, it will be even better! I have the launcher but it just doesn't click for me. I feel like by now they should have added a lot more features and settings given how long it's been out and the cost. Good luck.
Thanks for the tip....I just bought GMD pen.

I've used it for a couple of years on previous devices. I ran it for a few weeks on the GN2 but didn't really like it as much as stock touchwiz. So I'm running stock launcher right now. I like it better that SPB, Nova, etc.
Good luck.
As to your problem: have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app?

What apps are you using to take advantage of the spen?

I have had my note for about a month and been running beans Rom.I haven't really been using the spen much but was curious what apps people had been using to take advantage of the spen functionality?

Any internet website that has the 'hover with mouse' stuff to show extra options. Taking notes in school, sending screenshots to friends.

I'm running Beans also and I use the pen for handwriting notes and hovering over videos I made to see the previews. I think that's hella cool especially when I have iphone users watching me. Cutting and pasting anything from the internet or outlining pictures and pasting those to my scrap book. I love how the notepad pops out when I pull the pen out to jot a quick note. And I LOVE just pulling it out to let everyone in the room know to watch out, here comes my light saber. (Modded the saber sound)

I've mainly used it for marking up screenshots. I like it for gesture keyboards. I always think I need to put forth more effort to use it since I know it's useful!
Drawing has been a childhood hobby that lasted until a few years after college. Since I've gotten my note 2 I started using sketch book mobile and started drawing again. A Lil rusty and the small form factor for artwork takes some getting used to. I'm really enjoying it.

I like using it for writing to text and navigating. Check out the apps GMD S Pen Control and Button Savoir, great for navigating and creating shortcuts with the pen.

A couple of neat apps I recently came across:
MyScript Calculator
Sudoku - S Pen
not gonna lie..I barely use mine.
I have pulled mine out to show off the phone a few times, that's it. I never use it.

Installed fine here
how is awesome note?
Little bit of a learning curve but so far it's pretty damn cool. Took me forever to figure out how to take a picture. Landscape mode is generally best. Otherwise things can be quite small. I'll need more time with it though because there is a lot going on in this app.
I have tried 3 times over wifi and with wifi off I give up

App is robust.
There are however barely any options making this almost not usable for me. Unless I'm missing something completely? Tasks don't show up when I create them until the date they are due.

[Q] Eye scroll

My buddy just got the s4 and the eye scroll on web pages is sick. Just wondering if any devs think its possible to get that on the note 2.

No probably not. Buy a gs4 if you want that sir. That's hardware I think buddy

Hmm maybe, but I don't know what hardware it would use that we don't already have. It's just the front facing camera and gyroscope/accelerometer I believe. It sees you're looking at the screen then you tilt for it to scroll. So maybe it could be possible, but assuming the actual code for that was created by Samsung, it's probably close-sourced.
In that case, OP, don't you think something like this would've already existed before the GS4 if it could've been done? It's not really a revolutionary idea, but the coding itself may be pretty complicated. My guess is that if programming U.I. behavior based on the coordination of multiple sensors was within the capabilities of developers before Samsung threw money at it, then it would've been an app on the play store already.
Of course, I have no idea if that's the case regarding our XDA developers or Samsung's, I'm just guessing.
Its not the gyro it's a second Gen digitizer thst has some hardware build in can't recall the name momentarily but there is a Swype app that you can wave your hand up and down and it will scroll that uses the gyro

Hovering controls. I've been following it since he released it. It's come a long way, works pretty well now. It's one of those things that you don't always want to use, but it's handy when you do.
