Install Sketchbook Pro (for Tablets) on Galaxy Note 2 - Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps

These guys here had success in installing the Pro (Tablet) version of Sketchbook Pro on their T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39652228&postcount=1
However, you need root. I don't have root and was thinking on doing it like this:
1. Buy the Pro version on a tablet (I have a galaxy note 10.1 and it works great there)
2. Download and install Astro File Manager on Tabet
3. Go to Astro>Application Manager (on tablet)
4. Locate SketchBook Pro
5. Tap it and select "Back UP". It will create a copy of the of the apk.
6. Email, bluetooth, dropbox, etc, the apk to your Note 2
7. Locate with with Astro App on Note 2 and side load it.
But I haven't yet tried it. Has anybody? Note that this will not really be pirating as I already purchased a copy of the app on a tablet, but I don;t want to mess anything by sideloading an incompatible app to my very stable phone.

It will not harm your phone. Not so different than mobile version. Work well on our note 2.

Thanks for the encouragement note, but I tried last night and I got stuck on step # 5. The app is encrypted and won't let Astro backup the app, so I can't get the app out of my tablet to start with. The only reason I want the Pro version is for the additional brushes and the blur tool. The auto save feature is neat too.

I tried it on note 2. Works fine, except panels are too big. I was making it smaller with paranoidandroid app dpi changer, but it still looks ugly and inconvinient.
Maybe if you will change dpi with something else it will work. Heard on one forum that it works fine with Xposed App Settings. And it looks and feels very nicely.
On my sgn2 its inconvinient. Icons too big, and I dont have enough of workspace.
Everything else, for example Sketchbook ink works great on with changed dpi.
Here is a screenshot how it looks on in stock 320 dpi.

Here is a changed. with PA.
And here is a screenshot of that guy with Xposed App Settings.
I would like it too work on a PAC rom with better dpi, but it doesnt. I tryed few versions 2.5.2 and 2.6.((

[REQ] HTC Notes app and widget

For some reason the Rezound doesn't include the "Notes" app, which I've seen on other devices running Sense 3.5. I had this widget in a 3.5 ROM I was running on my DInc, but extracting it from that ROM and trying to install it won't work. Does the widget need to be modified to support the new screen resolution? Is there someone here who knows how to do that?
It might be a resolution issue.that or you forgot to pull a supporting file with it. If you have titanium backup try searching with the filter "note".

There are actually three apks involved.
HtcNotes.apk
HtcNotesProvider.apk
HtcRichNotesWidget3D.apk
The problem is that they fail to install normally by selecting them in a file manager.
I used Root Explorer to copy and paste them directly into the System/App folder. The notes app still did not show in the app drawer, and when I tried to add the widget to my home screen I just got a force close. I'm guessing that they need to be modified somehow to work, but I'm not a programmer so I'll leave that to someone else.
BTW I obtained the apks from the latest SVN for Prime 3D XL for the Droid Incredible. I'm wondering if there is a version from a different phone ROM that will work.
Any devs have plans to get this app working on the Rezound?
I just use SpringPad. Or try pulling the thunderbolt version?

I am using sticky notes and seems to work great.
Did anyone ever get this working? I love that widget linked to Evernote.

Those APKs will contain images for a 800x480 screen and the widgets will look strangely small on our 1280x720 screens, even if you get them to work! HTC tends to use actual-size PNGs for everything (and not 'stretch' big ones small or small ones big, like some apps/widgets do).
The Notes widget on its own is just one which scrolls through 10 pages of yellow notepad, which you can either write on or scribble on on one of your home screens. Even on the HTC Eris, when you hit 'Get More Widgets...' or whatever it was, you could get Notes. I don't know if this is the one you're referring to or not!
The HTC Evernote Widget is a little different. Someone was investigating that, but even so there surely wasn't a 1280x720 version of it, I'm sure. We'll see what happens. That one is unique in that it integrates with Evernote kind of like Friendstream integrates to Facebook!

Weird thing going on with my galaxy tab 10.1 and play store

This probably could be asked in the galaxy tab 10.1 section but it happened with my Captivate also and I feel like I can get a better answer here.
So for the longest time I kept my Tab stock and the play store works fine with no issues. I then decided to flash a rom (AOKP build 28) and now I recently noticed that when I go into the play store and check at which apps are compatible with my tablet, it shows my tab twice in the list, like so:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
(Note the tab is the GT-P7510)
For the record, this doesn't bug me. I would just like to know if anybody know why this is happening and how I can remove it so that it only shows the devices once? As you can see it is showing up for my old Samsung Captivate as well (SGH-i897).

It was happening on my tablet too, when I flashed a new ROM, don't know why...
To remove the unneeded ones click on the little gear in the top right and select (something)&Devices and there just click on the Devices tab.

Awesome that worked perfectly. Thanks a lot. It is also nice to give it a proper name also rather than just seeing the model number there.
I am guessing that the market sees the roms as a new device so it just adds it to the list of devices which you own...unless someone has a better explanation for it.
At a guess I would say that flashing a custom rom must change some piece of data that the market uses to identify your device, thus making it think that it's a different device after you flash it.
I tried to recreate this bug, but couldnt. So I don't think it's flashing different roms that was causing it.
Here's my devices list.
Everything except for the HTC Wildfire is my tablet.
(Some ROMs use a Galaxy Tab 7 build.prop, some use Galaxy S II )

SPen Home Screen Notes widgey, does one exist?

I'd like a widget for my home screen that would allow me to quickly and easily write notes to myself. Something like one of the post it note widgets, but designed to have handwriting on it not typed text.
Anyone know of such an item?

I'm looking for this too. Ideally I'd like a widget that could be full screen and you could flick the pages just like a field notes and just keep a running notebook of ideas. Maybe within the app itself create different notebooks and such. There are plenty of apps that recognize the S pen, but I haven't found widgets that allow writing within them.

That would be perfect. A digital field notebook with chapters.
Someone make it, I'll happily but it from the market.

I just found one on the market called LectureNotes, not the most intuitive to get set up, but seems to do what I wanted.
More widget functionality would be nice, perhaps a message to the dev when I get a moment.

If you use TSF shell launcher, they have a post-it widget you can download as well. When you tap on the post-it you can handwrite your note. That would be the closest to what you're looking for I believe.

Lecture Notes is pretty much what I wanted.

Which opens an editor directly
Even a setting for active input device so my hand doesn't work on the screen while writing, which is more useful than I expected.

[Q] Nexus 7 Support?

Are the Nexus 7 ('12/'13) not supported? Google play won't let me install onto either of mine.
NO. It currently does not support the Nexus 7 OR ANY OTHER TABLET....
Put on your reading glasses and read the SECOND FAQ in the Screenshot...

You can sideload the apk, but you will still need a unique code to activate it though. You also need a custom rom to change the perceived resolution, as it needs to fall within the supported resolutions of Themer.
Well all in all, if you want such functionality at this time, look for Buzz Launcher until Themer is released.
Even if you sideload Themer onto a tablet, it shouldn't work.
We'll support tablets in the future. For now, just phones.

What about the Xperia Z Ultra? That's not a tablet (barely).

The Themer app itself is compatible, but there aren't any themes. Well, i guess that's it. I'll keep using Nova.

That will be great when its compatible! I just got a Nexus 7 two days ago and would love to use Themer on it.
I guess others could use ssLauncher, too. But it can be harder to configure.

No support for tablets at this moment, try out BuzzLauncher. It's like themer but runs on tablet.

S-Pen doesn't work with Evernote or OneNote

I was considering shelling out £600 for the Tab S3 but remembering from my old Note 4 that the Direct Pen input method stopped working about a year ago I thought I'd check whether Samsung had addressed this on their premium note taking device.
No.
I can't believe that the 2 top apps for note taking and management can't be used with an S-Pen, this is crazy.
I don't believe this to be a strange use case, there must be others who want to write their notes onto the screen and have that turned into text WITHIN their note app of choice. I'd be happy to use either, but neither works. Evernote told me it was to do with adopting Chrome as the input editor, is there any way around this? Otherwise there is little point in having an S-Pen.

Direct Pen input works with no problem here. Is it only not compatible with the 2 apps you mentioned?

You can use the S-pen in the keyboard and have that convert to text in any app you use. As for converting sketched letters to typed words it would be the app not Samsung to blame.
BTW, for OneNote, the "workaround" is to turn off auto switch to ink mode on stylus hover in settings for getting the keyboard To show up when using the S-Pen.
