S-Memo etc porting to another phone?

Hello,
I always wanted a device where i can write with precision anything i want instantly just like i do on paper, and hence i really finding note very useful but the size is making me think twice and hence, I was wondering if it can ever be possible to port things like Memo and note taking applications of the galaxy note to other samsung devices like SGS2 HD Etc..
Also, if i buy a capacitive pen for SGS2 and download any note taking application frm android market can it function close to G.Note?
I have heard samsung will be releasing SDK for Note in december - So will it enable developers to make similar note taking application for other samsung devices ?
PS: Am sry if i had chosen the wrong section to post this.
The Note has a special touch screen for use with the S-pen. So I guess you have to use a normal capacitive pen with any free note app from the market. But the S memo works with finger input too so u should be able to use it with any capacitiv pen.
Try "note everything", free on market...?

The Note has a special layer on the screen with the possibility to use the S Pen. The Galaxy S2 does not have support for the S Pen, and also not for other pencils/stylus. So you won't be able to use something like a S Pen on your Galaxy S2.
well GS2 can be used with a stylus, have a look at the video:

Am not sure if notes taking can be done on GS2 as easily as on Note, perhaps some expert can enlighten me.
The note has a Wacom digitizer, the touchscreen does not function at all when using the S-pen... although a capacitive stylus can be used with other devices, in my experience they are next to useless, especially compared to SGN - maybe the size puts you off, but after a couple of weeks with SGN it feels a natural size now!

+1, Correct
I think in other device use stylus/finger is same
Yes tht wht i had the confusion, tht a phone that doesnt have digitizer can write notes properly like a physical pen+paper.... But i guess Not!
i will be havin a demo of the Note tomm. and i hope i will find it comfortable sitting in my jeans!
I've wanted to use a stylus to write on a pda since windows mobile days where i was sadly disappointed, but the SGN is the first device i have owned that fulfilled my expectations - even the realtime text recognition is surprisingly good!

S note on galaxy tab 10.1 gt-p7510?

Hi,
I looked at the function in galaxy note 10.1, and I really like the S note function. I have a question, is there any possibility tht s note will work on my galaxy tab 10.1 gt-p7510??
I hope that someone can.port the feature to our gtab 10.1 too.
TQ.
Are you talking about the software it self or the ability to use a pen?

I mean the software cuz i know s pen only works for the galaxy note and galaxy note 10.1. I can always use a stylus pen to replace the s pen. Thanks for making my question a bit clear !!
Someone?

Any Note users rather wait to see Note 3

Looks good but Personally I would wait to see the Note 3 before spending the bundle they will want for this device out the gate. Then if the Note 3 disappoints, the S4 will be less expensive and development will be in full swing. Then again the Note 3 will have any glitches corrected as well. and possibly the flexible screen
It looks good, but not good enough to remove me from my note 2. I dont see myself using any of the features they advertised. In a way I'm glad because my wallet has been spared, at least till the note 3 comes out.
I would rather wait for the Note 3 also. By then hopefully we will get the pholed screen and better processor

I don't think the Note 3 will have that flexible screen as they recently said they may go to LCDS.
I personally rather have a Note 2 over the s4.

yh that is my biggest fear regarding the note 3. I simply cannot have the phone any bigger than the note 2
The note 2 has got me spoiled when it comes to screen size.
i wouldnt want to loose .5 on a screen.
I'd rather wait for the note 3. and i wouldnt mind it being a little bigger, as long as its pocketable lol
yes i have the GT-N7000 and i saw the note 2 and its amazing ,, but the release of the s4 yesterday its like ummm;.. its amazing yes but i thing the galaxy note 3 will have alot more features than this ,, i read it could have more powerful CPU than the s4 with 3 GB RAM and a new S-Pen and android key lime pie 5
so yeah here is features ,, im waiting for it
unless i get a note 2 as a gift lol
It's kind of surprising how many people that bought the Note(s) don't use S Pen and S Note. I guess they bought it for the larger/better display. For those that use S Pen/S Note heavilly (I'm one of them) giving them up for the SGS4 just because it's "shinier" is a non-starter. The N3 should be out by the fall and have even more features than the SGS4 and SGS4 owners can help Samsung troubleshoot some of the new features being introduced. Hopefully some of the non-h/w dependent features of the SGS4 will trickle down to the N2 in the meantime. I'd love to have S Voice Drive.
Note 3 over galaxy s4
i have a upgrade comming so ill try the s4..... but doubt it will trump my note2 !
Definitely N3
I had a galaxy S2 and when the s3 came out I chose the Note 1. I do not regret this and having seen the S4, which I think is quite a good phone, I will definitely wait. Because I will get all the benefits of he tech that went into S4 with a bigger screen and S-pen (both of which I love tremendously). I am actually quite excited about N3, especially as I will be going from N1. I am really surprised that no one is challenging Samsung with a Stylus phablet.
When the note 2 came out. It had a lot more features than the s3. Now the s4 is out does it means that note 3 will be a lot better phone? I have the s3. Which i had the note 2
Tried walking around with the note 2 in my pocket.. I am way too skinny, felt like a football pad haha. It is pretty, if i was a bigger dude, I would get one.
If S4 battery, screen are much better than Note 2, I will buy it at the first day. If not I will wait for Note 3.

Flexible screen won't come in a million years.
I'm in favour of the Note 2 design. If they bring that disgusting carbon-fiber-ish design on Note 3, it's a deal breaker.
I had a Galaxy S3, as did my wife. We both have note 2's now (didn't loose money on the switch here so its all good) I really like my note 2 but sadly I don't seem to use the S-Pen and related features as much and neither does she. I guess we've been around android phones that never had those features to fully get used to it. I might be getting the S4 for her and getting rid of her Note 2 as at times I heard her say that she likes the S3 better. I think size does play a role here.
As for myself, unless I find better use of its features I will either switch to the S4 (also depends on development), or wait and see what phones come out. Either way, I'm planning on keeping one of the Note 2's around just incase i want to switch back.
Here I am. the Galaxy S4 just like a mini Note2. Eeeee I donnot feel like changing for it as Note 3 may be better

Port SPen features from Note Pro 12.2 to Tab Pro 12.2

Some clever XDA guys in the S4 thread managed to port Note 3 SPen apps to the S4 (using finger or capacitive stylus instead of SPen).
So I tried their apks on my Tab Pro 12.2 and got Note Pro style ActionMemo working without problems (ie. with draw-around lassoo-actions for handwritten text).
I could not get "air command" pop up window installed or working, or scrapbook to work by drawing round a part of a window. (It works with the full window send to scrapbook). They say you have to open air command with a gesture app or shortcut widget, since of course it cannot recognize when you take out the pen.
I find my normal capacitive stylus works really well on my 12.2 screen (Handwriting, Sketchbook etc) so if the port works between Note3 and S4, it should work from the Note Pro to the Tab Pro.
Has anyone else tried this -with success- on a Tab Pro?
Yes... I could have just bought the Note Pro, but I got a REALLY good price on a slightly used Tab Pro (T900)!
post a link and lets discuss. i didnt buy the Note version because it was $100 more when i went shopping and just couldnt justify it and have a Note 3

Samsung Note features

Is it possible? To use phones with no spens to use spen features? Like a button just to activate that spen menu with gif maker.. etc etc
You would need to adapt and port a Galaxy Note Rom to the S7 edge, if it could be done anyway.. as there is an extra layer of hardware sensors built into the NOTE screen, such as Radial Menu activation when SPen is removed.. also pushing the button on the spen itself.. activates and interacts with the phone.. the S7 doesnt have these sensors
Why would you want to do that anyway ... you can pick up a Note 5 or even a Note 4 or a Note edge pre-owned really cheaply now that the S8 is here...
Hello!! So i just used the s8 roms here. And I found the note features on the edge panels and more.
Yes because Samsung coded them into the S7 rom to make the edge more useful and less gimmicky.. but you still cant use the SPen, because SS want to sell the NOTE 8 when it arrives.. if they coded the SPen into the S7, there wouldnt be much point in buying a Note 8... but like I mentioned above the S7 doesnt have the touchscreen layer to use the actual Pen..
Just buy a NOTE 5 or wait for the Note 8
