[Q] S-Planner "location" share / navigate. Also different "note" app tie-in
The s-planner event "location" is great, but there's no way to share the map with another app; in particular I'd like to be able to navigate to the location. Any suggestions?
Also, the "notes" only gives me s-note as an available app... I'd love to be able to use a different app, such as evernote for the note portion of the event.
I realize that a different calendar app, such as Google Calendar, might give me these sorts of options, but the "see event title on monthly/weekly view" aspect of s-planner makes it a very attractive app.
Ideas?
UPDATE: I think I figured out that the Location can use "normal" map functionality (directions, navigation, etc.) if you enter an address instead of "pin pointing" a location on the map. I would still, however, like to know if anyone has ideas for how to get away from using s-note as the only note editor for s-planner. I've also installed CalenGoo... an excellent alternative that rivals s-planner in terms of functionality, but not as easy to use.
Has anyone found a way to change the shortcuts that appear with Page Buddy? I find it annoying that my phone automatically populates these shortcuts. I would like to actually put useful shortcuts there. For example, S-Pen compatible apps for the S-Pen Page Buddy. Not these random games I'm addicted to (and, apparently, I'm playing whenever the S-Pen is out, even if I don't actually use the S-Pen to play these games).
I have to admit it, I like using my S-Pen with S-Note on my Galaxy Note 2, unfortunately it only works in TouchWiz and not CM, AOKP, or Stock Android custom ROMS. And it can be excrutiatingly sluggish even on my Galaxy Note 2.
WHAT I LIKE ABOUT SAMSUNG'S S-NOTE app:
1. You can call up a floating pop up note from any application so that you can start taking notes with the S-Pen or with the soft keyboard if you so choose. This has proven very useful during a call when you have to jot something down.
2. S-Note Widget. I like how you can select to see the notes and folders list, or a list of templates to create a new note.
3. I like how you can use the S-Pen whilst pressing on the S-Pen button to freehand selection, capture, and sharing of anything on the screen from any app and then save/share with other compatible apps. Very useful feature. Of course being able to import images into the note is very important.
4. Tagging notes
5. Syncing notes (albeit to Samsung's servers)
OTHER FEATURES REQUESTS for my perfect Note/stylus app
1. In S-Note, list view, I wish we could drag and drop (single or multiple) notes and/or folders into folders with the S-Pen, or custom rearrange them by dragging and dropping. It would be much more intuitive and less cumbersome and tedious. I could take hundreds of notes but then to have to individually menu click on them to move and organize them is just toooo much work and really overweighs the usefulness of the app with the more notes you take.
2. In S-Note, I wish to remove the file name overlay on the note icons, I would rather see the full contents of what I wrote on the note, and the overlays never are able to show the entire file name anyway, so basically useless and in contrary to the clarity of the user interface.
3. in TouchWiz I wish the pop up note (or any pop up window for that matter) could be resizable to a custom size on the screen by clicking and dragging the corners. Right now you only have the option of full size or part-sized.
4. I wish we could call up a pop up window of a selected note from S-Note, so that we can reference it while we are doing other things like dialing a number, or checking something on the browser.
5. CUSTOMIZABLE TEMPLATES, come on, just give us option to make custom templates, and the ability to apply that template to every new note, even pop up notes. Right now I dislike all the ruled and graphed templates so I have to click and select a blank page every time I make a new note. ARGH
6. PAGE SIZE, come on Samsung, the templates should have a page size option, or else infinite (like Papyrus)
7. I wish to have size customizable text boxes and placement.
8. SPEED. the S-Note is SEVERELY LAGGED in my opinion. I mean I'm waiting at least 1 second for each creation of a new note, menu clicking to fix my template, menu clicking to select my pen type, etc. AWFUL SAMSUNG AWFUL.
9. VECTOR based strokes and drawings. This is not a feature of S-Note BUT one of my BIGGEST WISHLIST features. VECTOR graphics for S-Pen drawing/writing (like in Papyrus app). I NEED THIS SO BAD. It is just so much faster, cleaner, and RESIZABLE without destroying the quality of the line/stroke
10. I wish there was a DIRECTLY EDITABLE WIDGET for S-Note OR ANY other S-Pen note app that you can directly write onto from the homescreen without needing to press any other clicks other than to choose finger, pen and finger, or soft keyboard input (but with SPen as default). After writing a memo on the widget (with choice of S-Pen, finger, or soft keyboard) you would just click on a save button or something similar, and that memo would just be saved, the widget would then clear itself and be ready for the next note to be inputed. It would have to have option for palm and finger rejection so that you don't accidentally write a note when you are trying to swipe to another homescreen.
11. The ability to open and annotate PDF files that could be saved and seen from other PDF apps crossplatform
THE OTHER APPS I'VE TRIED:
Papyrus
(actually my favorite for actually writing and drawing with the stylus and it is super speedy and accurate, there is no lag at all with this app. But because it lacks the more robust features of the S-Note ie. No widget at all and no sharing to the app, no pop up memo, etc etc). If the developer of Papyrus is reading, my above features requests would make you the #1 note taking app.
Memo
meh
Lecture Notes
meh, I don't know, is this what college kids are going for these days?
OneNote
whatever, haven't really tried it
GNotes
I like how it auto syncs with Gmail account, but the features are too rudimentary and basic, and well, useless to me
A BIT OFF TOPIC, CLOUD NOTES ANNOTATING & BOOKMARKING APPS (no hand writing features)
Evernote
meh, we know it's the most popular and polished one, but it still lacks my most wanted features concerning bookmarking and annotating for cloud based apps that I haven't even mentioned in the above.
Catch
I tend to switch between Evernote and Catch a lot, I don't exactly know why. But even though Catch lacks even more features than Evernote, the simplicity and immediateness of it is compelling.
Power Note (Diigo)
In my opinion, Diigo is actually the most USEFUL web annotating app out of all the apps I've tried so far to date, and trust me I have wasted much of my time trying to try all of them. The Android Power Note app however, is pretty useless other than to reference your Diigo library. I wish they made a better more polished Android app so we could also highlight and annotate webpages from our Android and other mobile devices, and just cleaned up polished up and leaned up in general across the board. If they implement that as well as PDF annotation, and a more robust free note taking like in Evernote and Catch, they would be supreme. And if they went as far as allowing web app cloud based syncing of hand written vector based OCR page layout notes from any platform and device, eh, FUGGEHDABODIT. It would be #1.
I've found S-note and papyrus both to be quite good for note taking. nothing beats ezpdf for pdf annotation. skitch in combination with evernote is also pretty nice for annotating web pages if you want it saved in evernote (or you can share it to s-note or save it as a pdf to use with ezpdf if you don't care about it being in evernote).
Honestly S-Note is pretty good. The one thing I'm dying for is for the handwriting input to automatically enter a space after recognizing a word.

+1 sometimes remembering to put the space is annoying. But the handwriting recognition works pretty well. I also would like to be able to add more fonts (like a handwriting font) to the handwriting recognition.
I use the asus supernote app. Jusslt google an apk of it. Lots of features that nake it easier to use in class... for me at least.

One of my concerns with S Note is that I will be stuck with Samsung Touchwiz and Galaxy Note to use it, it will be hard to be available on other phones and especially if not Touchwiz.

I've been using LectureNotes for the past week or so in my Organic Chem and Physics 2 classes. I've compared it to S Note, Papyrus, and a couple others..
This is the only one that meets most (nearly all) of my needs, and the developer is extremely quick with responses/feature additions/problem correction.
Anyone know if this is possible or if there is an app out on the Market for this?
I would like to be able to call up a Popup Dialer in the Note 2, similar to calling up a Popup S-Note with the S-Pen. I suppose I've had more than a few instances where I was reading something that contained a phone number that wasn't clickable and wish I could either keep that note open in a small window while I switch to the dialer, or else if I could just call up a mini dialer in a popup window so that I could dial the number as I was reading it.
I don't think the dialer is available in multiwindow mode, unless maybe you apply a MOD to have ALL apps available for window mode.
TIA
Great Idea! Might want to submit that to Samsung.
or dialer widget?

xperiacle has done this by adopting a tablet ui for the galaxy note 1.
Here is the link. Check out the second video in the OP "TW - Tableui" I would love to see some of this capability on GN2!

You could just use multi window. Works fine for me.

this looks really cool, so is any of it available for Note 2?
use multiwindow... or dialer widget and popup widget apps to make the widget popup when you hit a shortcut on screen.. to activate (without needing to go back to a home screen) you can use whatever you want.. wave launcher, dock4droid..etc.. or even just dock it in the bottom dock.

Hi,
I am one of the Note 7 converts. I am just wondering if you guys have any good note taking apps suggestion.
Is there any with some quick launch shortcut? Like double tapping on screen to take a quick note. Something like that.
Let me know
Google Keep all the way.
Evernote if you fancy more.
They both sync between devices and you can assign a shortcut via Nova or Action Launcher or just use the widget they come with.
Download the app Writer Plus it's amazing for taking notes.
Keep: Simple, intuitive UI and always synced.
I've tried Evernote before but it has too many bells and whistles for simple note taking tasks.
One more for Keep. Especially since it allows you to draw notes
Keep is really nice and does the job.
