[Q] More S-Pen actions? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, is it possible/are there any apps or ROMs that add more functionality to the S-Pen? For example, holding down the S-Pen button and triple tapping would open an app.

Nope, but you could try these apps,

[Q] Remapping hardware keys?

Now, I know I'm probably the only one who wants to do this, but...
Just coming from an EVO LTE, and I used my App Switcher button all the time (after moving to CM10 of course), and would love to be able to remap Menu to App Switcher for fast multitasking.
Similarly, having done so, I'd like to enable the App Overflow ("three button menu" button) in apps. I'd like this even if the hardware keys can't be remapped, as the S-Pen doesn't work with the hardware keys, and it would give me one more on-screen thing I can use.
Thanks!

[Q] Changing default voice command?

Currently double-clicking the home button starts S-Voice, which in my opinion has poor recognition. Is it possible to change the double-tap default to Google Now voice search?
You can use simplistic framework mod to assign any app for double click home button. ....... from original Android development thread
Other ways.. long press menu button for Google now. ..why should you use home button?

S Pen right click

It appears that S pen is functioning like a mouse in android - for example in dosbox hovering will move mouse around and tapping will click it. And as far as I saw (screenshots only, so excuse me if I'm wrong) CM will also recognize S pen as mouse pointer.
However, there is a small problem: there is no right click. And since I don't use gestures really: Is there a way to remap button on S-pen to function as right click?

I'm looking for the same thing and I've tried many apps with no results, but these apps might point you to the right direction:
CM S Pen Add-on Can detect the S Pen button actions.
Xposed Addition Can remap hardware buttons.
So the thing to get the S Pen button actions be recognized as buttons. Then it would be easy to remap it with Xposed Additions.
Good luck!

Adding Hardware button shortcuts

I'm looking for a tool that can assign shortcuts or the likes, by long pressing one of the hardware buttons.
(Like Long pressing home opens recent apps and longpress power button opens shutdown menu.)
I've searched a litte but nothing usefull comes up.
Thanks.
Use this app-Home2 Shortcut from the play store..works well..

Thanks for the input, but it stays up, Taking RAM & Battery. I was looking more for a sort of System edit to make it work, without having an app open all the time.
Else I'd just use swipe opener.

Which app captures side button

Does anyone know which app captures S-note when you press side button? (when it switches to gesture mode).
Or is that integrated into framework itself?
I guess you might be talking about screen capture. Use the Lock key+home key combo to capture screen using hardware keys. Press down on them together for a couple of seconds. Otherwise you can enable motion for palm swipe based screen capture, or use the s pen to capture the screen.
If it helped, do press thanks

There's this 'GMD S-Pen control' app. Search for it on the play store. Maybe that's what you are looking for. One can create any custom gesture for the s-pen using this.
