1. Can I set the background to a default image?
2. Can I create and customize a set or "profile" for the different writing tips and colors? For example, if I like using a blue colored grid for working math problems, but a plan notebook paper background for literature (or something) could I create 2 sets or profiles to choose from so that it loads all my presets in the order I set up?
More to come as they come to me...
Thanks in advance.
3. can someone confirm that you can open two instances of snote to view to different notes at the same time?

Gina...to answer your questions...
1. Yes ... You can set the background as a default image
2. Yes ... You can have a blue bread for math problems if you like and yes you can have notebook paper for general text if you prefer both within the same notebook but different pages if you like. If that makes sense?
3. No... I think I answer this question for you yesterday but if not here's your answer again. No you cannot have two instances of s note opened at the same time. You can however have an instance of s note and lecture notes if you so prefer. I'm sure after the developers get ahold of the code they can modify it so you can have two instances of s notes running
I hope this answers your questions

First off THANKS! I appreciate the info. Secondly, I'm sorry, I worded my second question incorrectly. In the first gen model you can have a preset array of writing times in whatever color you want. That way you can just click the S-pen and cycle through the list you made. But I"m finding that a certain set of colors works better for different situations so i was wondering if I could create multiple sets of writing tips so I could have a set for math with pen tips colored to show up well against the blue grid etc.
As for the last one thanks for telling me again. When I heard that I was really REALLY bummed and almost decided not to get the note. I"m hold out hope that a dev will enable multiple instances of s-note or I may switch over to lecture notes completely. with the 25 good play credits I'm thinking I may get it. I like that you can modify the dimensions of the page. Also I've heard that it's a more powerful application all together and considering what i've heard of s-note so far i'm leaning more towards lecture notes.
One last question for anyone out there who knows.. Is it possible to quickly and easily transfer my files from snote to lecture notes while maintaing the tree structure?
Quick question for those who use SNote - does the new version allow you to import files directly from Dropbox or the Gallery instead of going straight to My Files?
Has anyone figured out how to import PDF files in the new version of S Note? I used to do this all of the time in the old version but can't find out how to do it in the latest version.

Wow I didn't even try to work with S Note long enough to realize importing PDF's was (seemingly) gone. I can't figure out how to do it and I wonder if it's at all possible anymore. I went ahead and got lecture notes and I'm actually much happier with it. I hate the new structure of s note... it seems like you can't create folders and view multiple folders and files like you could in the old one. It's a shame too cause I had a LOT of notes in them...
Found it!

To import pdf's into S-note:
-while on the start up screen, click on 'recent notes' in the top left corner
-when that opens, touch 'settings' button and select 'import'
-select from which location you want to import (my files, google drive etc) and what the file kind is (s notes or pdf)
-Done

I also would like to know if there is a way to set up presets in Snote. Seeing how the old SNote worked in the first 10.1, I was excited to get the 10.1 2014 Edition for that reason. But I can't even preset my eraser. Not happy about that.
Guess I'm going to have to look into Lecture Notes.

The new s note is horrible imo. Cycling through presets no longer works and the UI isn't easy to work with. I'd really like to be able to create a tree structure of notebooks within folders. I switched to Lecture Notes. Functionally it's much better (than the old one at least. I haven't work in the new one enough to really make the claim).

I totally agree. I tried and tried to make myself like it but it's just not logically functional as what I experienced with my Note 2. Always admired the original 10.1's Snote.
Are you using the free version of Lecture Notes or the pro version? I've tried Lecture Notes and I've noticed the fluidity in that one is much more smooth which I appreciate. Just wanted to know what I would be gaining if I go the Pro version.
Pro version allows you to have more than 2 notebooks. Also, anyone know how to highlight text in lecture notes or import multiple pdfs at a time?

Hey guys this is kind of unrelated to the current discussion but, have any of you been able to use the screen recording function within s-note . I Know the previous note could do this, and that was one of the main reasons I got this Tab. I want to be able to solve a problem and watch the recording I made later. Any help is much appreciated.

I got it to work with the voice recording add-on (haven't purchased the video). If you zoom in during playback it will pan to what you were writing at the time you were talking/recording. Unfortunately it doesn't add text as you go, you start with the finished page and pan around.

To highlight text, I created a custom pencil with the color I wanted, a thick width and chose the 'pencil draws behind other colors option'.
Does anyone know how to take a note in s note in portrait to imitate a sheet of paper? I seem to only be able to do this if I import a pdf.

So i want to make this pretty straight forward, I'm in college, I like to read my books on my tablet, I like to do all sorts of work on my tablet and until now I was a iLoser carrying around an iPad 2 which I had plenty of apps that I became accustomed too. That said, I now rock the Prime and the Galaxy SII skyrocket. I love android much more than crApple's ios. Can I get any student/professor/anybody that uses their fancy new hardware for work and the occasionally play to give me some great apps tips for the tablet? (first thing I downloaded was Evernote!)? Thanks a bunch! Perhaps if we get a bunch of suggestions we can make a section in the app's section for "school" or maybe "productivity" I also want to add that while I don't have the dock (yet) I will be purchasing one when I see it in stores. (whenever that is!)
*if everyone likes the idea of a productivity/school thread in the apps section I wouldn't mind making it and updating it.
(1) Android Office - The most complete office app I know. It's even got a spell checker.
(2) Ezpdf - best for hand write directly into your pdf files.
(3) Repligo - Best for opening very large pdf files. I use it to open and use regularly a pdf file that is 2000+ pages with lots of images. Renders pages instantly.
(4) Printershare - print through cloud print or through wireless.
(5) Writepad stylus - note taking app with palm rejection, meaning you can rest your hand on the screen and still be able to write. Can save your notes as pdf docs.
(6) Antipaper - Another note taking app that has palm rejection.
FYI, all of these apps were free at one point or other on amazon appstore.

I checked out both and one of the biggest problems I have with both is that I don't seem to be able to make folders to put notebooks in. I would want to have folders for each class, and then within the folder each notebook would be a lecture. Fairly surprised I cant do somethjing like that so not sure if I am missing something

Well, you could create your own folders. After you're done with a particular class, you could output the saved notes for that day as pdf and then store it in your own folder.
Or you could make several notebooks, one for each class, and then keep writing into the notebooks as if it's a paper notebook.
Added by edit.
Another idea is this. Just make blank pdf files or pdf files with lines and then use something like ezpdf or repligo to write directly into the pdf file.
Just a couple ideas.
The main idea is make due with what you have. Be creative. Don't just have a set of ideas of what you want and then get stumped when you can't do exactly what you want.
Oh yah it wouldn't be a big deal if I couldn't, just wanted to check if I was missing some way to do it.
If I can't make folders so long as I name them correctly it shouldnt be a problem since I can do a search for notebooks which should work out the same as a folder so long as my naming is good.
I should probably do the whole export and put in my own folders anyways as a just in case

Due to the nature of the lecture and slides it's best if I annotate/markup the slides themselves so Ive been using ezpdf, but I really like the ease of use and features of the stylus/handwriting, especially the zoom feature on antipaper (Ive seen this on some ipad pdf reader as well ). So are the any note taking apps that allow you to draw on pdfs, or any pdf reader/editors with more robust annotation/markup tools?

You can zoom in on your pdf in ezpdf (double tap, or two finger.... opposite of pinch) and do your annotations like that if you need to get closer for your notes.
And when you are zoomed in and have free hand annotations selected, you can use 2 fingers to scroll around even while still in annotation mode.
As for the repligo suggestion I personally found it not quite as nice for annotations because you have to do 3 taps just to start an annotation. Once to bring up menu's, once to select the menu, then again to select "draw freehand", where with ezpdf its just one click on the top bar and your going.

I have been using SuperNote to write notes for my classes, and I have some problems with it...
Anyone know if there is anything I/we can do to get Asus to fix some bugs?
I would love to be able to get a bug report to them so that they can maybe provide us with some updates in regards to this.
Problems (I'll add more as I remember):
- Export Notes does not export the photos or annotations
- Page 63 is exported as page 64
- When typing on the very last line, the view keeps going up and down
- There are no special characters
- it does not support basic keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl+C Ctrl+V Ctrl+A (Esenthel)
Might help if you told us what you think is wrong with it.
you could get a logcat while you're doing those things that screw up and send it to asus?
A logcat huh... never thought of that...
Although the thing is, I don't think sending an e-mail to support at asus dot com will do any good...
I was kinda hoping that there might be a better way than doing that...
I like the app, but these little bugs are a little bit silly... I'm not a developer, but I don't think it's too hard to fix these... right...?
For me what's most annoying is that it does not support basic keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl+C Ctrl+V Ctrl+A, I do have the keyboard dock, so I'd like to use it for full advantage
Ah yeah... that is annoying... lemme edit the top list and add that on.
for me, honestly, super note was disappointing. i was expecting it to be so much better.
some fixes id suggest if any rep is here, or if we wanna compile:
1. the limit on a page is annoying. youll be writing something and then it wont let you go down anymore. i know its replica of a4 paper, however, i think itd be better if itd continue downwards, like in Microsoft word.
2. the pixelation that occurs when you create an annotation and resize it.
so annoying!
3. already discussed, but the fact that a stylus doesnt work makes things hard
this sort of interrelates with point 2 above, because...
i for example will want to draw a graph. now to precisely label it, i cant do it with my finger, nor a stylus. so i have to draw it HUGE using annotation, then resize it to make it smaller. then it pixelates!
4. no autocorrect or the ability to correct. it just comes up with red lines.
5. - no change in font.
6. the ability to interchange the page type would be nice, for example: lined paper to graph paper.
7. when doing math, usually, i'd draw a line down the middle of my page to divide the page in half and thus have more working space. i wish this functionality was possible in supernote. i.e. divide the page and have your own custom sections in which you can write.
8. the lack of colours. theres only like 4! - black, blue, red, green!
9. the inability to record and type at the same time. - that includes voice recorder, and video recorder.
i have to open up the sound recorder app and use that, - this way i cant actually insert the sound clip into my notes.
10. following on from the point above, the inability to insert things! cant insert sound files, movie files!
thats all i can think of atm.

All of this! Lol
And I hate that even when you readjust the page after filling it up, when you start typing the freaking thing jumps up and puts all your words at the bottom, even intermittently throwing them off the screen.
I would definitely like to either see them put more work into this app so it truly is super, or I'd like to see someone pick it apart and create a new one that works right.

- u can save file as pdf or photo.
- handwriting, keyboard writting, Keyboard+hand writting, touch keyboard with many options,
- u can draw all u want - not only letters and u dont to create separate sheets. U can do all these things on one page!
- and a lot of more!
I loved the app when i saw it, and after trying to use it once i disabled it.
I mainly use tablets to write histories apart from the obvious email and websurfing.
It force closed on me on a very long test note i was writing and all was lost, tried again this time copying and pasting a long piece of text and bam force close again.
To be honest i deeply regret buying the TF700
i have tried everything so far to replace a real laptop and it has proven a big waste of money...
I guess my last resot would be to try the iPad but i can't do that to myself i am afraid i might like it

Yes, exactly. The pen uploads the notes to the Evernote cloud, so how would you be able to access them without the internet? Unless I'm misunderstanding you, this would be the problem regardless of what note app or service you use, unless the pen can somehow transfer the notes directly to the Prime. There is no service in the world that can access a cloud-based server without access to the internet.

The new S-Pen features seem pretty promising as well. I'm interested to see how customizable the air commands are (if they are at all).

Lecturenotes supports those active pen and does all the pdf import export etc. So even if the snote sucks youve still got a damn good alternative. I did read that the s pen air commands ARE customizable,so thats a plus.
That's true. I've heard good things about Lecturenotes, but since I've become so used to S notes and since lecturenotes is a paid app I'm hoping S notes will be as good as it is now on the old 10.1 model.

Lecturenotes is the most vesatile note app ive used. Different page types and styles, pdf imports, typing, drawing, shapes, layers evernote exporting. Couldnt be happier which i heard about it a year beore i did. Snote + lecturenotes and you couldnt possibly go wrong on the GN 10.1 too many options.
Try S-pen voice. Theres a free trail that limits you to 10 pages. But its a very simple program that records while you write and lets you play it back. You can see as you write the notes when its playing back or just tap somewhere and it will start the audio from there. Its great!
Does anyone know of a good flash cards app? I used to use Flashcards++ on my iPod/iPad when I had them, and I was wondering what flash card apps you all were using/preferred?
I've tried a couple of them on my phone, but I didn't really care for them. What I liked about Flashcards++, was that I could import my flash cards via an Excel spreadsheet, which could be hosted on my Dropbox. Also, it permitted the use of photos.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Have you tried Anki? It has web sync and photos. You can even draw on a whiteboard to answer questions.

That actually looks perfect. I will have to give it a try. Thanks again for the input!
I'm a huge fan on Anki. I like how I can not only keep the same decks across all of my devices, but my PROGRESS in the stacks across all of them as well! I usually set everything up in the desktop program and just sync it from there.

Sorry to bog you with questions, but it seems like you've used this app quite a bit. Anyway, is there a way to randomize or shuffle the deck when you study the cards? I looked on Anki's webpage, and it looks like you can randomize the order when you import it, but it doesn't seem like it randomizes it anymore than that. (i.e., like the 'randomized' order will remain consistent through out the entire deck)
Also, is there a way to create decks (or sections) within decks? This would be especially handy because typically I make a 'mega deck' for my midterms, which can be broken down into individual topics. Or, do I just have to create a deck for each topic? (Either way, its not a big deal, but the app would be 'cleaner' if you could have decks within decks.)
Lastly, how do you sync between devices? It would be awesome to have it automatically sync between my Note 10.1 and Note 2.
Thanks again for the responses. This looks like it will be replacing the void Flashcards++ has created.

In order:
In the settings you can choose to ensure that cards are not in-order when reviewed. Granted, this is a bit more relevant to things that actually HAVE an order (such as my primary purpose, language learning involving alphabets), but it seems to randomize. Maybe not the MOST random, but random.
I'm not sure about creating, but when you are importing, you can "nest" a deck inside of another. As I stated, I use Anki for language learning, and the source I use utilized Anki decks. When imported, they SHOULD import directly into the larger deck, but it does not for me. By dragging it into the larger deck, it will nest into it so you can review ALL of it, or just the smaller one. This is the mobile app, mind. It does sync that way on the desktop, too. Playing with it on here, you can also drag and drop on the desktop app as well.
You simply create an AnkiWeb account. You get the option when you install. By signing in, you can set the interval or triggers for syncing. I have mine set to sync when I close the app. On all of my machines. You can even set it to download the multimedia portions of the cards, or not. I know it works because all of the decks I sync use audio files with the cards.
You can even review online using Ankiweb (but you can't work with multimedia, just text cards), if you don't have access to any of your devices using Anki.
Hi,
This is something that has been on my wish list for the galaxy note 10.1 (and now the 2014 edition) for a long, long time, as an avid note-taker and professional writer. Does anyone know of a writing/note taking app, as basic or fully featured as you like, that has the organisational ability to have notebooks with multiple notes inside AND the possibility of viewing these notes in a list on one side of the screen, while you edit a note of your choice in the main part of the screen? Basically, so you can set individual notes up as sections or chapters, change their order at will, and jump between them easily? This is one of the key features of the scrivener software I use on my laptop, and I wish I could replicate on my note 10.1.
Many thanks,
Andii

Probably not exactly what you're looking for, but have you looked at JotterPad X:Writer, it's a nice clean editor that works well on the Note 10.1. It's primarily used for producing clean markdown for web publishing and works well for saving text as blocks.
