Stylus Idea [REQUEST] - Shield Tablet General

Open pie menu using stylus only. Put stylus oriented apps in pie menu-like launcher. How can I achieve this. I'm loosing sleep over such a feature.
it would work like this...
All is normal. Un-silo stylus, then swipe inward from edge of screen using stylus. Pie menu opens, but only if initiated using stylus. I can do the rest from there.
I cannot find anything using search RE: this. One would think Galaxy Note XYZ forums for this, but alas.
Any takers?

You could achieve this with LMT and tasker combined together.

When pen is removed activate lmt when pen is returned deactivate lmt you will have to find the task for the stylus being removed and replaced. But since it turns the screen on it should be in there somewhere.

I guess I need to brush up on Tasker a little more before I attempt such a feat. I guess this would be a good way for me to start learning! Any tips or suggestions would be much appreciated.
If I can manage to accomplish this, I'll post any results.

I just got a shield tablet and wanted to use the pen remove/return as a tasker trigger for something else. Please, could you tell me how to set that up as a trigger? I just haven't been able to find it.

[Q] Back Gesture?

Anyone know of an app or way to implement a gesture to replicate the back button Its a PITA to always have to go down to the bottom of the phone for back. I'd like some sort of left swipe to hit back for me instead.
Just think of it as a downward swipe to hit the back button and your problem is solved...

Tasker is a popular app in the Market that can be used to perform an action based on a tilt gesture. It can enable you to automate many other things about your phone too. I'm just beginning to explore it myself. It's not free, but pretty cheap. It's a little cheaper of you buy it directly from the dev's website.

I can't imagine a gesture that would be simple and not interfere completely in various programs. How would you swipe left and right on the home screen or in certain apps without activating the back button? If it was on a tilt action, then there goes all sensor based applications.

[Q] Does S-Pen work on custom launcher?

I am yet to receive my SGN (Friday fingers crossed) but I am not a fan of the 'iPhone style' interface ofTouch Wiz... I will definitely be installing Launcher Pro or GoLauncher but will the S-Pen still work on the home screen (gestures etc) I am not too bothered about the widgets as long as I can get access to notes via a double tap and navigate the screens with the pen
The pen works with everything and the samsung widgets can be used in other launchers...
Im using and testing out LP at the moment and it seems to work fine.

How is the feature with the button realised etc???
I would like to hack any other stylus with this button feature.
or does anybody know if i could use a wocom stylus together with the Note.
Any hint is welcome.

And please let us know if you find anything new!

pen only mode please!!

If anyone is using the device as a drawing tablet, this would be very helpful. Let me explain why.
I downloaded the autodesk sketchbook, the application works great, but better if there is an option to completely shut off the touch input because in real life while drawing we do not want hand accidentally touch the canvas and leave any unwanted marks on the work. I know the tablet automatically disable touch input while the pen is within a certain distance, but the distance is only about 1.5 cm (too short !!). My hand always touches the screen and leaves unwanted marks while painting. Someone already suggested that wearing a glove while working, well, that's only a temporary solution. I would assume most artists would not want to paint with gloves on because it just does not feel right.
To sum it up, I would suggest an option to activate "pen only mode" while the pen is not in the pen slot would be perfect!

When the pen icon (blue, in the upper right corner) is selected it serves the same function in S-Note.
Thank you for mentioning this, but this function seems to be S-note only. It does not work in other application while it's turned on in S-note...
I think he's asking for a pen-only mode on a system level.
I think it probably has to be implemented within different programs by the developers. I did notice how effective it was within S-note, though.
otherwise my finger was randomly creating Marks and lines as I was zooming in and out.

It's something that could be implemented at the OS level if for example CyanogenMod wanted to make it a feature. That's a pretty clever idea actually and wouldn't be too hard to implement. I don't know if mainline CM would accept it but it could always be in an unofficial build.

On my N8000, the screen does not accept finger input when and as long as the S-Pen is in range of the screen (point marker enabled, point marker visible on screen)
The Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet got it implemented with an update to ICS.
Maybe Samsung can do that to ?
Someone should suggest this to Samsung some how. Maybe having a toggle in the notification bar would be handy.

I found the pen works much better when "Battery Saving" is checked in the Pen options. Before that I was having issues with it getting confused between my fingers and the pen even when the pen was docked.
Lecture notes has this feature as well. It's pretty cool! You can use your fingers for scrolling and zooming and it won't leave any marks on the paper. The pen writes and draws, and your fingers zoom and navigate. It works amazingly well. Hopefully in the future more apps will have this feature enabled.

I wish S-Note had Locked Zoom.

they are times when I don't want note to zoom in because my palm registered before my s-pen did. It's only and I can't believe this wasn't a default option on ALL S-PEN. The s-pen gives unparalled accuracy so I like to use it non-zoom and write small.
There's an option to enable 'palm check.' At least on my Note 2, which I assume is similar. Waiting on my N8000.

Yeah, I agree. I think I will just buy a glove though that covers my palm. I still want the ability to zoom, but I Just don't want it happening when I'm trying to lay down lines for art.

I'm not quite sure what you're meaning by palm check, there is a function for "SPen only" but that one only disables the one finger touch that is for drawing etc. Disable the multitouch for zooming and pan however, isn't possible in SNote at this point.

Anyone having problem with SNote, please contact Samsung and tell them about it and demand a solution. Hopefully with enough people complaining, Samsung will realize that the new SNote isn't any good and change it. Preferably allow us to downgrade SNote to the precious, working version.

I agree. Samsung keep developing the device and they have not look into their most important application. Are they even serious with their consumer? Sigh..
agree! I found it really annoying everytime I use it to take notes. There should be a lock zoom mode in the s note setting.
I agree that S-note could have a few features like locked zoom and hide toolbar... those would be great. I like the new snote though. I dont think you guys should call Samsung to complain, just suggest. Maybe someone on xda can release a downgrade apk?

Or just a two finger zoom that actually worked and not recognized the hand, just like the old version. Just of curiosity, what do you like better with the new one? Do you maybe have a different version of the new SNote that actually works?
That's what I'm hoping as well but there are a couple of different threads around an so far nothing has really come out of them.

I have the snote that came with jb 4.1.2 US n8013. The UI feels alot faster, the spen button to switch to eraser is an awesome feature. It also switches from formula match to eraser and then Back to formula match which is very good since id always make the mistake of going to pen and losing my formula. I cant think of anythinf else atm but i can tell you that apart from the zoom, i havent had major issues with it.

Well that explains it, I run the 4.1.1 version of Android and that comes with a different version of SNote than yours and the 4.1.1 version just doesn't work properly. I really hope that we get the 4.1.2 version of SNote as well since it seems to work much better than our.

Simple trick to Lock the zoom
Hi,
When I'm writing using S Note, I lock the zoom by using my other hand's 3 fingers to touch the screen.
when you write the usual way, you will notice that it will not have any annoying zoom anymore.
hope it works for everyone too.

So if you're right handed. You use your left hand's 3 fingers and hold the screen while write with your right hand? That sounds like a pain. When I take notes I just make sure the spen is sensed before I put my palm down and no zoom. Takes some getting use to or make it a habit.

I discover how to dont zoom with hand on display
When you want to write with hand on display, you must first do this: put your thumb to the corner and THEN you must start write and put your palm on display in one time! since that your moves of hand display doesnt recognize and doesnt zoom, you can go to another list but you must have your thumb on display all the time or do it again (put hand and write in one time). Its not 100% but usually works and have thumb in corner isnt so annoying. . .
It requires root, but I added 'Disable finger input' action to my spen control app. It disables all finger touch (and capacitive buttons on Note 1 and 2) until you execute this action again or turn screen off. I implemented this after I got tired of accidental zooming on Note 10 and hitting capacitive back or menu on Note 1. My drawing experience is completely different now. Needless to say, S Pen is fully working in this mode and it disable finger input in all apps, not just S Note.
Do you think its worth making a separate application just for this? It would still require root .

That would be a blessing. I purchased your Gesture Control app and is really helpfull to hide the Nav bar and prevent the annoying Notification bar from showing every time I'm writting within SNote. Maybe you could make a setting within your app to block any hand touch within the S Note app. The only issue I have is that I have to add S Note to blacklist to prevent gesture control from executing accidentaly within S Note. I haven't got the Spen app yet. Do you think the S Pen gesture app would add a convenient way to go back to home screen without having to turn the screen on and off, in order get the Nav bar back?
I really recommend Gesture Control and S Pen Control. Those are one the top 5 five apps we must have for our Galaxy Note 10.1
Samsung screwed up big time with S Note hand detection.

I have the US version of the N8013 too. I had mine just rooted before the update, i did the 4.1.2 update and haven't found a way to configure the S Pen button to work as an eraser within the S Note app. I even spent $40 to buy the S Pen with eraser so I wouldn't have to click back and forth between eraser and writting mode from the top bar. Pardon me if I've being a Dumb Ass!!! If a press twice the button it goes into brush mode, if press it once thereafter, it goes to marker mode, and after that if I press the button once, it switches back and forth between brush and Marker mode, but never goes back to regular pencil mode unless I reach the top bar and change it back that way. I checked for pen settings under S Note settings and general settings, and I just can't find anything to configure the S Pen button to perform a particular action.
I didn't do a factory reset after the update. Do you think this could be the reason, and maybe I'm just having bugs due to it?
Maybe I have do a complete factory restore, any suggestion on Stock base rom with full S Note functionality?

You can download spen control (trial) from thread in my signature and it has 'disable finger input' action. I don't want to expand on other features as this is not the right thread, but spen app allows you to execute all actions similar way to gesture control, just gestures are executed with spen. I'm just wondering if it is worth making root app that just does this one action - disable/enable finger input.

Fav YouTube videos on using our Note 8.0/10.1/II or original Note

I found a YouTube video which really inspired me to roll up my sleeves and dig deep into using my new Note 8.0 in a far more exhaustive fashion.
This led me to consider, there are tons of YT vids which I might never find that could give any one of us some tidbit of info allowing us to get the most out of the device and apps.
[yt]yKYsYUNFFkg[/yt]
[yt]Zja4z9MJ3Qw[/yt]
[yt]MY1jgctLkMM[/yt]
The above video reminded me of when taking my upper division & grad math courses. Along the way I encountered a prof who required us all to buy a box of colored pencils...we all looked at each other like he was bat-crap bozo...well turned out when dealing with pages of complex differential equations that using different colored chalk on the board allowed the prof to cover vastly more in a lecture...so he wanted us to mimic that in our note taking...at them who knew? That really was something unheard of, colored pencils were the tools of....the liberal arts fer goodness sakes, right? hehehehe...
So I see how Note device brings that ability to an electronic notebook. The link above shows a med student who uses a similar technique with a few twists.
So I dunno maybe we can share interesting uses or tips on usage here, not like there are other forums with the breadth of information as we have here, right. So lets do it here is anyone is interested.

I use my Note II and 8 to sketch for leisure or professional. The S Note syncs all of the files with the Samsung cloud system. Just keep backing them up with the pc from time to time as these can somethings have errors as what has happened with my Note II.
It's nice to keep up with electronically keeping notes, but take all the precaution of backing them up regularly.

Sure, what do you want to know? Lol!
I use my phone mostly for drawing, sometimes for gaming, watching media, and as a document reader, oh and tons of web browsing, texting, and sometimes as an actual phone.
I use the spen gmd gesture control to allow gestures to turn on/off wifi, to launch a few different applications, and to run a couple tasker tasks. I have chrome set to desktop only mode.
I use tasker a lot for non note2 specific things, such as killing chrome and loading opera mini when not connected to wifi when i want to browse the internet (to avoid lots of data use), synchronizing data from snote+drawing programs+wallpapers to my dropbox account, and silencing my phone automatically when in class. I do like the app i found in the playstore that recalibrates the s pen (its called reset spen).
Dunno what else, i backup my phone a lot? Lol!

So when You press on case over HOME button if it flexes enough the device will turn on. So much for "smartness" I guess. I would have thought when flap with magnets is closed the screen word not power on if the button is somehow pressed. They need to punish that developer I suppose.

Did you know that it's possible to config your Box or Dropbox or whatever cloud backup soyou get local copies of the *. snb file in internal memory (internal SD card). the external SD card & your cloud backup options all at the same time?
You just need to setup the local & remote folders & update/ sync links. It then happens pretty much automatically as the changes propagate your setup. It is pretty nifty & actually works well. I now have multiple fresh backups as well as near instant sync between my devices.

I use Smart Screen Off Lite app for this problem. It makes use of the proximity sensor to turn off the screen even when the home button is accidentally pressed. I don't use those covers with magnets as they disrupt the S Pen and turn off the screen while I flip the cover at the back!

Thanks for the tip. Ian guessing this is a reason to have that elastic strap to hold the front closed. I might just disable the "smart open" if I can. It already sterns on when I grab the pen anyway and I never use it w/o s-pen.

I'd rather not disable the home button. I do use it a lot. I disabled the capacitive buttons for about a week so that the would be no more accidental back button presses while on landscape position. It had proven to be more of a hassle with activating stuff on screen than without those capacitive buttons.
I want to use the home button. I like using it to conventionally switch to different apps. It's more pointless disabling it.

I hear ya - I think the home button is useful too. The modification I posted above only disables the 'wake up' function of the home button - you can still use it for navigation once your GN8 is awake.

I wake it up with the home key.
