Hi! I have a Galaxy S4 and I use S-Voice to create Tasks.
Unfortunately on the S4 there is no Task Widget like on other Samsung devices.
I found and apk from another Galaxy (I think the Note 2) that have this widget and I tried to replace the actual S4 SPlannerAppWidget.apk in the system/app with the one I found. Everything seems to work since I have now the task widget, but the calendar widget is a bit different, I think due to the different screen resolution and is not optimized for the use with the S4.
I thought the best way to have both the widget, the new one from the S4 and the task from the Note 2 would be to install both the apk, but this is not possible since they have the same package name. So I tried to change the name by decompiling the Note2 apk with apktool and changing all the references within the smali and res files form SPlannerAppWidget to SPlannerAppWidgetTasks.
Unfortunately this does not seem to work and the new apk I have recompiled don't show up anything one put in the system/app directory.
I have joined my new apk... I know many people are looking for a solution about the task widget and this could be a useful solution if someone with more experience than me in modifying an apk could take a look at it and discover why this do not work.
Many thanks in advance.
I goggled and haven't found any discussion regarding this "video editor" thing. There is an edit option when viewing videos. Once I tap on it, it says I'll need to download it. .. but when I click on download nothing happens. have any of you ppl notice this feature and does it work for yall? here are the screenshots:
The stock video editor is not included out of the box. You should be able to download it from the screen you posted a shot of but make sure:
You have an account with Samsung Apps.
You are signed into your account with Samsung Apps (on your phone). You can get to Samsung apps by going to the APK shortcut in the app tray on your phone.
Your "Samsung Push" app is up to date. (Not sure if this is a must, but it can"t hurt)
The app is simply called "Video editor" and it is located in the "Entertainment" section.
It will be nearly 115 MBs.
You can also go to Samsung Apps on your PC and navigate to the Editor, but I am not sure if Samsung Apps works like the play store or not. You might need to do it from you phone.
Good luck.
The problem was that I had disabled Samsung apps and account. Thanks
This is a second request so that if some great mind here can help me install the s planner from note 2 to my rooted note 3
Please consider me a noob and give step by step instructions.
Please . This new s planner is such a waste.

as far as I can tell, GNIII S Planner is the same as GNII's, but only with different color theme. they replaced the 3D brown theme with a simpler white/green flat theme.
Only difference I realized is in the Month view, it now shows dots (one per event) instead of showing the even title itself, which was not even practical as it showed only first word or so, and only 2 events. all you have to do is to click the day and show details below.
it is not a waste. but just themed differently, however I can understand if some people like the old shape, I certainly do. but functionality wise, almost the same.
There is huge amouny of difference between the s planner of note 2 and note 3. The most important beibg
1. When adding event or task in the older s planner there were options to add a S NOTE or an image . It was productive and practical for daily use.
2. Hovering the s pen over a date in month view, an option to add a handwritten note appeared which again was so productive and practical.
Both the above options are missing in the newer s planner.
Hence the request.

I can not believe Samsung removed the Task widget on de Note 3 (along with other functionalities on the whole S-Planner) .... It was the most useful tool to me and I assumed for granted It would be on the Note 3 ... I can hardly imagine the reasoning sequence that led the programmers to think that S-Planner was too good and complete so it needed to be shrunk
I, too, would like to know how to do this. See also this thread for more information.
Here are the steps I did:
1) Rooted GN3 using Root de la Vega method
2) Mounted /system as R/W (using ES File Explorer - Root Explorer)
3) Renamed GN3 Splanner to SPlanner_gn3.apk
4) Copied Note 2 S Planner apk to Note 3 /system/app directory
5) Changed its permission to 644 (rw-r--r--)
6) Rebooted
Despite this, I still don't see the GN2 version of SPlanner anywhere (not in the list of apps, drawer, etc.). When I click on the SPlanner shortcut, it still brings up the GN3 version. What steps am I missing?

I think you need to move the original apk out of /system/app - the app id is defined in the manifest and is independent of the file name. In this case the package name is com.android.calendar. If you add the S Planner apk from Note 2 and keep the original apk (althougth renamed) it will still be a duplicate package name.

I don't even see an "S Planner" in my app drawer. What are you guys talking about?

Thanks for the advice. I moved the original GN3 apk out of /system/app and then rebooted again. However, I still cannot open the GN2 SPlanner on the GN3. It simply doesn't show up anywhere. Would wiping the dalvik cache help?
Anyone with any solution?

Unfortunately, I don't think the GN2 SPlanner will run on the GN3. It could be an issue of a Samsung software signature not matching. As I wrote, I tried basically everything I could think of to try and get it to work, with no luck. Hopefully, someone else out there has a solution.
There's three things about the GN3 version that I don't like:
1) Full-screen mode. Ugh...how am I supposed to see what time it is and the battery level? Yes, I know can temporarily touch the top of the screen to have it display the status bar, but this is only temporary.
2) Inability to set default reminder time. Now everything defaults to 15 minutes, which results in me having to set the reminder for each new task manually. Total pain.
3) I don't like how they changed the month view. I preferred the GN2 version where I saw both a listing of the day's tasks inside each day box, as well as listed below.
Time to go look at an alternative 3rd-party solution, I guess...
same issue- slightly different question?-noob
GS3 w/ OS 4.4 safestrap - touchwhiz rom- somehow all my system apps like splanner/ clock and gone- they are in several backups on my internal and external (SD) and i can see them in root explorer - how can i get them to load- I am a total noob- patience and language for a 5 year old is needed,thanks !

General question:
Why does Samsung keeps changing the Memo application on it's tablet's and cellphone's?
My Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1
Memo (v2.0)
My Samsung Galaxy S4
S Memo (v 2.17.1574082)
My Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1
Memo (v 1.0.1085180)
I'm able to share notes between my Tab 2 and S4 (in .snb) format, but sharing with my tab 4 is not possible. The tab 4 is sharing .memo notes and does not send or accept .snb files.
When trying to install S Memo (from Samsung of course), I get the message that my tablet does not support this version of the tool.
Which tools are you using on the tab 4 to sync with other samsung devices.
Kind regards,
FatEric

You may want to try to renaming a Memo file by changing the extension from .memo to .snb

Hi!
Not so sure should this be on Apps section or here at Q&A, but anyway..
I watched some videos from Youtube about Note 4.
I saw this clip and thought that this is a must for my Note 3 (and NP12.2)
I downloaded some app dump from Note 4, just couldn't find Action Memo from there (to install it instead of stock Note 3 version)
Do you think that app can be ported or somehow get to work on Note 3, or maby add this feature to Note 3 stock Action Memo.
I really want that pinning option to my phone, so I can add memos directly and easily to my homescreen. That video linked above starts just before he does what I want to my Note 3.
