Has anyone had any success at running sketchbook pro on a Galaxy note 2? Right now only sketchook mobile works, and sketchbook pro is only completable with devices with a screen size of 7 inches or greater. Are there any workarounds? I heard that sideloading the apk works, but crucial menus are not accessible due to the screen size.
Have you compared the features, side by side. I'm not sure there is such a great difference.
I've played with pro and it's much better. More brushes. Easier to adjust your brush and you can import psd files

The screen size shouldn't matter. The Note10.1has the same screen resolution as the note2 and it works fine on the 10. Autodesk mentioned on Twitter that an update is coming soon, so hopefully it will be compatible then. I imagine the interface would be a bit small, but I can deal with that. SBP is way better than SBM usability wise.

Will Pro pop up when you make a call and go to use the S-Pen?
I have used SPB on the note 2. I have a note 10.1. I just downloaded with APK leecher. It works well with note2 but not perfectly. First of all its not sized for the note2. So some of the menus get cut off. You have rotate the phone to landscape mode to see all the menus. Even in landscape mode you can not see all the color selection options. some of the menus are squeezed together and over lap on some buttons.
I changed the dpi of sketchbook pro using xposed apps settings. I can see all the menus as well as the colors. I think you have to be rooted for this though.

Just saw the video the Galaxy Note. Looks nice, but what I really want is the ability to select a part of a picture (the video shows someone selecting a shoe and cutting it out) and cut it. Are there any apps that allow that now?

I use SBM. It's a drawing app that lets you use multiple layers and you can import pictures into it. You could then erase everything you didn't want.

I only have one complaint with my new Note 2, which is simply Samsung have not made the best use of the screen. I had foolishly hoped it would offer a more tablet-like experience, with more data on-screen in Apps, websites etc compared to smaller Android handsets with the same resolution.
Putting my Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 7 and my Note 2 side-by-side with the same Apps, the Note 2 offers pretty much the same on-screen data as the Galaxy and noticeably less than the Nexus 7, despite all having the same resolution. I guess there is some sort of PPI/size calculation going on, or a distinct 'tablet mode', I'm not an expert in Android development I must admit so this might be obvious stuff.
I just wish I could put the Note 2 into a 'tablet' mode whereby it showed more data, rather than just offering larger icons that take up more relative space.
If somebody manages to crack this and finds a way, root or otherwise, to make better use of the screen, I'll be a happy man.
Does anybody else share this view? Or am I alone...
Other than this, it's hard to fault the Note 2
There were a number of ROMs for the original Note that had the option to enable Tablet mode; homescreen and all with the tablet versions of the apps. I'm sure ROM's will eventually pop up for the Note 2
Thanks... that reply manages to answer my question (tablet mode!) and give me something to look forward to, all at the same time!
The difference is the dpi. You will be able to lower it down once you root.

This does **** up your entire phone. Trust me. Ive tried.
Not many samsug apps that like the dpi change. Specially snote...

This is the drawback of the 16:9 aspect ratio. The original Note gave one more column's worth of icons due to its 16:10 aspect ratio.
It's the height that bothers me, rather than the width. I read a lot of news, use social media, messaging and email a lot, so it's all list based. The width is fine, but the height leaves a lot of white space in lists. You can always rotate if width is a problem, but with height you're a bit stuck.
I agree, I do wish I could have 5 columns of icons on the home screen instead of four.. there's so much space thats wasted!
I don't see why they couldn't have made it 5 columns since the TouchWiz app drawer has 5 columns.

Samsung's apps tend to be fairly hard coded to the stock resolution, but many many others work just fine.
Your mileage may vary. Lots of people were happily using the Note at DPIs of 280 and 240 or even lower.
Paranoid android was absolutely fantastic in that you could select certain DPIS for certain apps.
I'm going to miss it.
As it stands now, some apps are just better about allowing you to select font sizes and etc.
Readers and web browsers in particular.
In settings -> accessibility there is a 'change the font size' option. Does it allow you to set something smaller?
It had a very limited functionality in the Note 1 - I was hoping it was improved a bit for the Note 2.
- Frank
Just wait for ParanoidAndroid, and then you could choose tablet mod, or stay on phone mod and enable tablet mod only for selected apps
Changing the font size to small in accessibility works for me... no as good as my 6800 but I would trade the screen estate for pocketability

Hey everybody
One of the most useful mods I have performed on my Note 2 is a PPI adjustment, which effectively increases the resolution of the screen. I'm not sure why this isn't more commonly discussed, because I think it really takes advantage of the phone's size and tablet-like qualities (especially with the new MultiView update, if that appeals to you). I know many users of the original Note did this mod, which is how I found out about it. I suspect that many other Note 2 users may not be aware of this trick...
WHAT IT DOES
It has the same effect as increasing one's monitor resolution - more content is able to be displayed on screen. If all the icons, text, menus, etc on your Note 2 just seem really BIG to you, this is the antidote.
Look at the two before and after screenshots attached. I would have posted them in line, but as a new user I am prohibited from doing so.
REQUIREMENTS
ROOTED Note 2 - there are other Howto's on XDA that cover this
ROM Toolbox Pro (other apps may work too, possibly including the free version of ROM Toolbox, but this is what I used)
HOW TO DO IT
Root your phone and install ROM Toolbox Pro. Go to the performance tab, and click "build.prop" editor. There will be two entries called "ro.sf.lcd_density"
Within each one, change the property value and the default value to 240. That's four numbers you're replacing. On the last change, go ahead and reboot. Done!
OTHER NOTES
With the original Note, it was common for this mod to break the Market. This is no longer the case. But, there are a few things that break to varying degrees. They're easy to fix though...
TouchWiz: The default launcher will not adapt to the new settings, and you will have a lot of blank space. Fix by installing another launcher. I use Nova.
The Clock app breaks completely. I replaced with Alarm Clock Plus.
The dialer, like TouchWiz, will remain small. You could replace with a custom dialer, but I actually left it as-is because a side effect is that it's really easy to use with one hand.
The Camera app has the same problem. Camera Zoom FX makes a good replacement.
the Samsung keyboard breaks, thus taking down handwriting input with it. Swype works fine, as does s-note.
Aside from those minor issues, everything has worked fine, including all the 3rd party apps I have.
Hope this is helpful to some of you guys.
Seriously, this phone is amazing at 240

This is great. One other app is the email app only takes half the screen on portrait. Really need to figure out how to install the AOSP JB Email app on here....
Another benefit is Swiftkey Tablet keyboard now does the split keyboard on landscape which is easier to type on.
The only problem is that you can't use the handwriting mode with the stylus with the ppi set to 240 because the Samsung keyboard keeps fc'ing. That's my only complaint so far with this phone is that the handwriting mode is tied to the Samsung keyboard.

I'm not real fond of the way the dialer looks so I'm using Go Contacts which has a pretty good dialer.

The market is probably filtering since at this resolution it is probably now considered an x-large device.
Really like this resolution, will need to use for a while to see which apps decide to crap out.
you can also edit the build.prop with root explorer. If you edit the it to be =160 it switched to tablet mode, but crashes a lot
=170 i think its still tablet and doesn't crash

To be honest, with jelly bean letting us choose "tiny" text now and the screen size being so big, I'm not as inclined to change the Res on this thing anymore... in the past with my S2 that was the first thing i would do whenever I flashed a new rom.

installed, set to 170, put on nova launcher, and downloaded a jellybean keyboard. so far so good, but how do I get the "hold home to bring up all running apps back" feature? It looks like Nova doesn't support this...

Technically the Galaxy Note II does have a higher screen res than the Galaxy S III since the Note 2 does not have a pentile display. Paranoid Android in the future will also let you completely customize the size of everything on your phone without messing up the market due to DPI issues.

Do you think PA will come to this phone? If so, it will be a great addition and will fit this device perfectly.

anyone with issues sending MMS? I had taken a pic and tried to send MMS but got a unsupported file type or something like that and wont attach the picture. reverting back to 320dpi works.
hopefully the samsung keyboard will work with this in the future, it looks sooo much better with the dpi change .. specially with multi-view (although the menu and border of it doesnt stretch all the way across the screen).
bala gamer is hopefully going to take a shot at FIXING the bits that don't work right at 240dpi !! I especially hope he can fix the keyboard as I LOVE the keyboard.
for the multi window just drag the menu to the TOP OR BOTTOM edge and it displays correctly at 240dpi (the separator is not wide enough but thats not an issue)
Zoom FX is no good since it uses "smaller" images (really small) in burst mode NOT 8mp. I found that out the hard way after I shot some really nice shots and later discovered the res was so small it was useless to me
this was one of my favorite features of previous Note devices. it appears that Samsung has removed it from my AT&T Note 4. anyone know how to add it back or if there is an app that copies the functionality? i hate laying down and playing the rotate phone game just to get it to line up with my line of sight.
Yeah, seems like Samsung took out a few of the face scanning features. Check out Ultimate Rotation Control . I've been using it since my Nexus 4 then my Note 3 before my 4...and it's awesome! The best part is a per app control.

Hi guys
I've been doing a lot of CAD lately, so I though it would be possible to use the note pro 12.2 as a wacom tablet in my windows 8 PC.
So I found this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sunnysidesoft.VirtualTablet.lite
You must install on your pc a server program and driver, but the process was really simple for me. You should give it a try! It can connect using wifi (same wifi on PC if possible, or even public IP) or bluetooth. In my experience, using the same 5GHz on PC and tablet feels snappy, like it was connected by usb cable (a feature coming soon AFAIK)
Greetings :victory:
Did they finally get the pressure sensitivity working with Photoshop and Illustrator?
It didn't work last time I tried, which is the main feature I require.
(Found an alternative for Illustrator called INKredible, which is a vector drawing app, but I'd like to use my tab in AI as well.)

I haven't tried it with photoshop/illustrator, but the logging tool incorporated already shows pressure data.
I tried with Sai Painting, no pressure, lags and slow, still (of course) doesn't show the screen of my computer on my tablet, so with all these troubles I don't see the point of that apps (unless you don't have a Wacom of course, but mine cost me 29€ so...).
