Snote, Samsung Notes and other horror stories - Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps

How has Samsung managed to destroy its killer app? Why did they have to create two different apps for the same purpose? Why did they have to ditch Action Note?
They spread useful features among both apps, they made Samsung Notes unnecessarily complicated.
I could go on, but let's get to the bottom line. I use a Note 7 port rom (Nemesis V2), which has the latest version of Snote installed. Is there anybody who has installed a previous version (the old, good one, with Action Notes) and runs perfectly on his device? Which is the version number, and is it possible to share a link for that? Thanks!

Hold the button s-pen and touch 2 times on screen. Action memo is on.

If it's the way it's work on Note7 then any port of it must be support it.
I wonder why there's no any Note7 review out there explain about action memo. They all said that there's no action memo.
That's why i hate it even though i love the gif & translate feature

[APP] GMD SPen Control (root)

I'm developer of GMD SPen Control - application that allows to create custom SPen gestures:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34085846
I developed it on Note 1, but I expect it to work on Note 2 too. Please try:
1) does it work?
2) Please do calibration in 'Development' tab and email me calibration values from Help->Email Developer->Report bug
Root required.
Thank you.
Thanks, got report that it is working. I will update default calibration values.
Start OK on Note 2

I just tried it.
Downloaded from QR code
Installed OK
Just added item for launchpad
I did the calibration and emailed the report.
I did touch the screen on the right border from the top to the bottom.
Value does not increase. 0x0.
That may explain why the next and previous app gestures are not working.... ?
If I restore the default values, the next gesture is ok but not the previous...?
Can't wait to discover more of this App.
If you want a translation for French language let me know !

You have to do calibration with SPen .
Done, mail resend calibration values updated.
Amazing job with this app!
Is there any way to disable Samsung's built in gestures?

Update:
* Added correct default calibration for all devices: Galaxy Note, Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy Note 10.1
Please try fresh install and try if gestures that have starting zone on border execute properly.

I was wondering if it is possible from Android settings, but I guess not . It might be possible with root api.
Working perfectly on my Note2. Badly wanted a gesture to open recent apps and goto home.
New version 1.1.0
New version:
1.1.0:
- Added disable Samsung gestures optio
- Added default Pause/Unpause gesture - use it to toggle between this application and Samsung gestures.
- Added option to draw SPen path when Samsung gestures are disabled or custom ROM is flashed.
Wow, great app! I bought it from the market. Now the S-Pen won't just be a gimmick.
I have one problem when I swipe from right to left make it a Screenshots? I disabled Samsung control.

Even I have the same issue. When I set a gesture as right to left or vice versa, any where on the screen it does not work. When use the same gesture from the border, it moves to the next/prev app but takes a screenshot. The kind of screen shot that you get when tap n hold. Tried swiping and release the button quickly, still takes screen shot.

Seeing the same, tried recalibrating, didnt help. To install apps I close GMD SPen control and then install apps.
I posted update in Play Store and XDA:
- Fixed: Samsung screenshot gesture working when disabled.
- Fixed: Install button would not work when installing from file system.
Please let me know if you find any new issues or these problems are not gone after update.
sorry but the swipe / Screenshot Problem is not Fixed

Hey Stupididea,
If its not too much to ask, Can you add Zoom in & Zoom out actions. With this App I am able to do everything with s-pen (no fingers) other than to Zoom in or Zoom out.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Thanks, I was developing on Note1 and I cannot reproduce it there, but I will investigate Note 2 events more closely and continue investigating how to fix screenshot. It only happens if you disable Samsung gestures, right?
I will see if I can add zoom.

I use Awesome Note from the Galaxy note 8.0. I would definitely check that out. Google "Awesome note galaxy 8" and click the first link to read about it and also download it.
You can also get the g note apk through google as well. Google "g note apk" and click the first xda link. Always always always try google first man, it will help a lot:good:
Also Handy note pro is a great note taking app I use as a backup when I write lengthy notes in class. It has a magic pen feature that keeps your handwriting in straight lines kinda as if you were writing on lined paper. It's weird at first but a great feature once used to it. It has a free version to try out I believe, otherwise handy note pro you have to pay for. (you can get it free by many means but I don't think I'm allowed to disclose that unless you pm me) check any of these apps out and see how they work for you.

Don't quote, reply. If you quote, edit.
I use GMD S-Pen control from the play store. It has many built-in gestures and you are able to create your own gestures as well. I think it works really well with all the jellyBean roms...
I've tried all of these options here except for GMD S-Pen and here's what I found:
Awesome note galaxy 8 - Does not work well with AOSP ROM's like CyanogenMod. I installed it and could not make it work. My device kept FCing; not only that the whole phone was never stable after that. I had CM 10 at the time.
Handy note pro - Is fine and has a lot of features but does not take advantage of the side button of the stylus.
Quill - Was ok. Didn't have good export features.
The ones I have found to be the best at least for me are:
Papyrus - Papyrus takes advantage both the stylus button and single finger touch. You have the option to buy additional feutures, like true erase etc or export to Dropbox.
Memo - Also takes advantage of stylus button and finger touch but does not allow for many options as Papyrus
Write - Also takes advantage of stylus button and finger touch but does not have option to import image. It has real good edit controls and you can set up bookmarks within your notes.
Notable mentions:
Jotter - Is a nice note taker but does not take advantage of stylus button nor single-finger.
S-Pen Voice - This app allows you to record voices while you write; it's the recommended way of taking notes in school The free version is limited. Not sure if you would want to record voice everytime you take a note.
Bamboo - This app is from Wacom, the makers of the Note screen. It has the feeling of a real note-pad but has limited functionality.
I think I've just about listed all the remaining S-Pen apps. Please suggest any other ones not listed here.

[APP]Note 4 Hidden Settings - Air Gestures and Air View with Fingers

Quick Note:
a. This Application is for Samsung Galaxy Note 4 which may also be used on Samsung Galaxy S5.
b. Don't express your hate for ADs in reviews. It's only way of developer's earnings. You can deactivate ADs within the app but it will be nice of you not to.
c. Please Do Post Reviews and help us build this app according to your need.
So, Samsung decided to hide some key features in Galaxy Note 4 and we don't why. But that should not be stopping you from using those awesome features as those are hidden not deleted or something.
Air Gestures: Samsung Galaxy Note 4 has pretty all the sensors that Samsung Galaxy S5 had. So, why not use those. Quick Glance does not work because of a missing apk in Note 4. Will be fixed in next Update
Air View: You can use your SPen for Air View but what happens when you are not using SPen. You use your finger for that purpose. (buggy)
Smart Scroll: Doesn't seems to work but work in progress (buggy)
Samsung Keyboard Handwriting Setting: Edit the way you write and the way for Note 4 detects your writing
LockScreen Clock Style: Miss Your Lockscreen where you can Signature as your personal message. You have that back
Edit Personal Message: What's the use of personal message when you can't edit it.

You need have CWM, Philz or TWRP recovery. if you don't have then flash it first.
Move the downloaded zip to your sdcard
In recovery, install the zip and reboot
Now you have QuickGlance on Note 4

It's normal to somethings don't work ? Like, the air view with finger doesn't work at all... the air gestures works just on e-mail and gallery, never on stock browser... smartscroll too, doesn't worked at all...
This can be related to my device ? i have the N910C version... thanks so much, great app, the options for lockscreen and keyboard it's awesome ;D
Air view with finger does not work. I am on a custom rom; may that be the problem? Another issue is to do with the pen colour. I selected the pen colour red. The pen wrote in red, but when the text has been recognized it turned to blue.
Air view finger hover messed up in latest built.
Earlier I have enabled this option on my ROM and working fine but with MK3 it causing lag and unresponsive touch on dialer, My files etc applications. Samsung might have removed codes in new built.
air gesture > air browser> music player and music on lockscreen do not work
air gesture > air browser> Air Jump do not work
Quick info works with GlaceView.apk taken from note3
Update is possible or too difficult to build ?
Thanks

I haven't tested this on any custom rom but stock one. I suggest you test this zip and let me know. I am pretty sure that it isn't going to mess up your device as it just copies an apk to system dir.

Samsung Notes app for Note 4 MM 6.0.1 ?...

Hello friends.
I want Samsung notes app (not S-Note app) on Note 4 MM. It includes reverse and forward function at popup notes and many pencil selections.
I searched for it but didn't find anything about it.
Can anyone help me about that.
Thanks
I posted a lower version of Samsung Notes because anything higher may not be compatible with MM.
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...samsung-notes/samsung-notes-1-3-01-3-release/
Change with older S-Note app ?

Thanks for your reply. But I wanna replace it with older S-Note app. So it must be in Air Command which is in the picture.

Hey guys. Success with installing Samsung Notes on my n910T but I can't seem to figure out how to get the Action Memo and Screen Off note version of this samsung notes to work. I got the apk from here: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...samsung-notes/samsung-notes-4-1-04-0-release/
It's pretty new and looks good actually. I linked my acc and can see all of my notes here.
So, how could I get the double tap s pen to open note, and screen off memo? When I launch the activity from Activity Launcher it seems to run just fine, although the screen off memo seems to be broken..

Because Samsung Notes removed those features lol. Why didn't you stick with S Note as it's more feature packed than Samsung Notes ?
