New note man...haha. Any S pen Ideas

So i just got my note yesterday. Have not touched my transformer tablet since...lol. Thats a biggie considering i never put it down usually.
Anyway, i love the s pen amongst other things. I find myself using it quite a lot even just to navigate around and interacting with the general U.I.
I was wondering however...are there any other specific apps and games out there made for the s pen? I assume you guys would know. Any advice is welcome.
Thanks.

You have an app in the Drawer called S Choice. It will send you to Samsung Apps, but specifically to S-Pen apps. Hope I helped !

Idk I've been struggling to find uses for it. I've had my Note for 2 days now and I mostly like it. But the stylus just seems like an added bonus that isnt too integrated. The only thing I've been using it for is S Memo, which freezes up sometimes Any suggestions would be appreciated

I really like Zen Brush.
It behaves like a caligraphy brush.
It's in the S-choice suite.
I also find the S-pen very useful for inputting calendar items.
Press and hold on your start time and draw down to the end time and release.
It automatically enters these in a new item.
Saves lots of time and sh#ts all over simple multitouch for speed and ease of use.

Really people? No one mentions "Draw Something". The S-Pen is PERFECT for this kind of game, and my friends are pissed at me when we're playing since i have a freaking pen to draw with

I have to say I am on my second week with my note and still no legitimate use for the s-pen.. I even got draw something and it still just doesn't help all that much with that app. I also havnt been happy with how I've had to restart my note 3 times today for various reasons
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Well after almost 2 weeks it seems my use of the s pen has gone down quite a bit. I only use it for specific games here and there.
Its a nice alternative and that's pretty much it I guess. I can't really draw well on paper let alone with the pen so that's a shame. But it is very responsive and accurate.

I actually use the s-pen quite a lot, especially at work to take notes. Very handy to have all my notes with me at all times and by tagging them and creating a folder structure it's easy to find them back.

+1 - the S Pen is great at work - i used to use a note pad all the times, but now i can take note on the, well, Note!
In my line of work i mark-up building drawings plans, where i used to carry around a A3 clipboard and paper copy of the plan. Not now, drawings to PDF and away i go on the phone! Very pleased. Once day i could even convice my boss to purchase a Note 10.1 for the very same reason....

I'm working on that. The fact that I am my own boss makes it somewhat more likely!

ok...I'm officially bored. What tricks can I teach my N7?

So far I basically use this thing as a web browser, twitter reader and forum crawler.
Of course I rooted, themed, installed new kernels, bricked it, brought it back to life, and now I'm back to stock rooted.
So what else can this thing do? I bought a USB dongle thinger but I don't like watching movies on the small screen (I get headaches easy). Give me some ideas?

Have you tried alternate ROMs? If not, I'd recommend Paranoid Android. It's smooth, fast, stable, and it allows you to choose between phone, phablet, and tablet mode for every app.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1800268
If PA isn't your style, try Slimbean or Cyanogenmod 10.
There are a lot of ROMs out there to mess around with.

How about getting tablet mode by installing ROM Toolbox Lite and changing the DPI from 213dpi to 160dpi?
It's under Performance/build.prop.tweaks
You'll need to be rooted though.

Games, news, geocaching (tether it to your phone via bluetooth), use it as a GPS on your bike/car if you have one (I use my phone for now, and you can cache the maps before hand too, so no data connection needed), control your DSLR camera if you have one, setup an andruino system/project and use the N7 as a remote, use it as universal remote in your home (friend is doing that w his Galaxy Tab 2 7"), etc.
Imagination is the limit.

I don't know if you are into reading books, but ever since I got the N7, I've started downloading and reading ebooks (not through Google Books tho). Prior to that, the last time I actually read a fictional book was years ago. After I finish my current series, I'm thinking of downloading Wattpad.

xbmc and comic books

On topic You could always use your Nexus 7 to do some online shopping. Message me for my sizes and what i want.....
This should keep you busy for a life time. well at least the life of your credit cards..
Love your nexus Just in the correct ways.. :laugh:

Install TeamViewer or another remote desktop app on your tablet and your PC, go to a country on the other side of the planet, log into your PC, and rearrange your desktop icons. Log out, go home.
Well, you did say you were bored...

[HOWTO] Use your Epic as Mouse/Keyboard for other Android devices

So, as far as I know, this should be able to control PC's too, and maybe PS3's. But, I've only tried this on other Android devices. Should control anything on CM7.X, or anything on any form of Android 3.0, 4.0, and 4.1.
Prerequisites(Epic 4G specific):
Has to be on an AOSP based ROM(CM, AOKP, Paranoid, etc)
Step 1.) Enable Bluetooth on your Epic 4G and other Android device.
Step 2.) Pair the devices together
Step 3.) Now, install "BluePutDroid" on your Epic from the Play Store.
Step 4.) Open BluePutDroid, hit the Start key on the top left
Step 5.) Swipe up the "Log" bar to make sure there were no errors. If there were, try step 4 again.
Step 6.) Tap the device you want to connect to(your other Android device)
Step 7.) When it finishes loading, the screen should be green. Swipe on this to move the mouse on the other android device. Tap once to click on the other device, and hold down till the screen turns red to do things like scrolling, drag and drop, etc.
If the S/W keyboard shows up, hit menu "Toggle Soft Keyboard" to hide it. If it keeps enabling itself, install "Null Keyboard" from the Play Store and set that as your input method while using BluePutDroid. Also, the H/W keyboard works great. So you can use that to type, or navigate with the Dpad
This app works on other devices as well, but I can't go into great detail on ROM compatibility and such.
If your device has CM7/9/10 or any AOSP based ROM, this will work.
This will work on the (rooted) stock ROM of some devices, such as Nexus S(all forms), Galaxy Nexus(all forms), and Galaxy S3 (all forms)
On other's it will not work on the stock ROM, regardless of root, such as Galaxy S(entire first series), and many older HTC devices(not sure of newer ones).
According to the app developer, this is kernel related and nothing he can do; if it works, it works. if it doesn't, get.cm

Thanks! I'll look into this.

I can confirm that this works with windows and linux - I've been using this app for nearly a year, and it works well
But I didn't know it worked with other CM devices - that's an awesome find

Would this work if the other device doesn't have bluetooth?
Amazing stuff though, I wish my netbook had bluetooth that would have made it even more amazing lol.

There's apps for PCs similar to this. Like RemoteDroid and gPad. I'd prefer gPad because it has many other uses, like controlling windows media player, microsoft powerpoint, and using it as a mouse/keyboard obviously. But again, it's over WiFi. Bluetooth is beta AFAIK.

This app has been around for at least a year - the benefit of bluetooth is faster response times than over wifi. I think that's partly the result of the direct connection, and partly because the wifi methods involve a computer-side server (often using vnc, which uses some processing time to send a live stream of the screen, even if the connected client app doesn't need it, such as with a remote kb/mouse app)

I can also vouch for this on the ps3. Donate, help him out and no ads.
My wife was giving me **** "you are so techy, why can't you ruin the ps3 with your phone". So i googled and XDAed until i found this app.

when i tried to download this app it said that it wasnt compatible with my device. however, i saw my buddy who has a nexus 10.1 tablet (dont know what its called)
how do i get this app on my phone. this app was the only reason i wanted an iphone 5.
i want to get the full version of the app. i dont mind paying for it but i need a way to access the apk
i've found some sites that are hosting the apk and data but i'd rather ask here to see if anyone has got it working on their device
i currently have the modded google play store, i dont know if that has something to do with my issue

I might be wrong when I say this, but assuming you're rooted you should be able to edit the build prop of your phone the "trick" the Play Store to think you have another phone. I'd advise waiting for someone who knows what they're talking about before trying what I'm saying.

Maybe the Nexus 7 isn't compatible either? See if you can change it to say the Nexus 10 (I'm pretty sure that'd be the name of the device your buddy has).

This was frustrating for me also on my G Pro but I could download it on my old Note.
This is the free apk I took from my Note. Once you launch it for the first time it will download the data which is over a gig.
Works great for me..I'll probably buy the full game.

AT&T Scanner

It's crazy, I have an Impulse 4G (Huawei U-8800) from AT&T and Play won't let me get the free AT&T barcode scanner that works really well for me. It's a free app and I managed to find an old version that works well but I would like to upgrade since mine is two versions old.
I guess there's no way to fool Play into thinking I have something else is there? I've searched all over the place and every link points back to Google.
