Anyone come across a widget that you can write notes on directly? The s note widget is ok but it opens the native app before you can start writing. Was looking for something that I could write on the widget itself.

There are 2 s note widgets. Use the s note (page) widget. It works great!

What about the built-in pop-up note where you double-tap on the screen with the S-Pen button pressed? Unlike the widget, this one pops up a floating notepad you can write on immediately, and when you finish you can save it into S Note.

That is truly a nice feature but I guess we are all looking for a widget that you can actually see what was written in the home screen. This is specially useful for the bigger screens like tablets but surely would work for the Notes as well.
Did you find something? I found go note widget but it works only with go launcher and i dont want it :/.

Experts,
Normally (using TouchWiz), Pulling out the S-Pen will bring the S-Pen S-Notes Page buddy.
Is there any why to enable the same reaction when using Go Launcher.
I can only enable the pop-up S-note.
Regards,
No, you can't. Page buddy is a part of the Touchwiz launcher. So if you use a different launcher, you're going to miss out on the Touchwiz addons. I personally like touchwiz in this case. I plug in headphones, and I have the audio page, the same for the pen.
So... sorry No... It's part of Touchwiz.

I've just run into this same issue. I've really wanted to get a better launcher, like Nova, set up, but I really like Page Buddies for the S-Pen and headphone. I suppose I could create something in tasker for the headphones, but it wouldn't be quite as nice as unhiding a hidden launcher page. The one piece of this which DOES work is that when you do these items with a different launcher, you can still swipe the notification bar down and see the "recommended apps" so that gets you part of the way there, but it sure would be nice to be able to see these without swiping and also add other apps or widgets as you would like...
In tasker you could create your own page buddy with 'scenes'. Tasker scenes are not as beautifull, but it will work!
I'm curious to know what you'd change in the latest version of Samsung's TouchWiz UI for the Note 2. If you could design the next version, what would you add, remove, or tweak? I'm curious to see what the fans, and non-fans, would change.
For me, I would definitely want more functionality from the lock screen in the next revision. Having 5.5' of real screen estate means a lot of space for us to add extra info such as email/message content, info of last dialled/received call, more access to favourite apps, etc. I'd also like to be able to pull down the notification centre in the lock screen and be able to access the relevant notification from there. Lastly, I think the stock icons could go for a revision to give a more high-tech futuristic feel instead of the much cartoonish appearance it has now.
I'd make it look like Apex and just as customizable!
Done.
I would like a 5x5 or 4x5 grid size on the home screen,
Auto correct on the keyboard,
Resizable widgets (like we had on touchwiz 4.0),
Better Facebook integration,
And a few more s pen features
Cheers
Corey

I know I've probably said this before in another thread, but I really think that TouchWiz (and I mean the whole framework, not just the home launcher) on the Note 2 should be, and should have been from the get go, a hybrid ROM with PAD and PAL (per-app density and per-app layout) options baked right in. I mean, let's face it, some UI layouts of certain apps are just simply better and easier to use than others. YouTube and Gmail, for examples, are simply better experiences in a tablet layout.
Another thing that would have been nice to have would be capacitive buttons that respond to the SPen, instead of having to use gestures (just a minor niggle though).
Hello,
I would love to see a scrollable favorites contact widget with direct dial function (like HTC has.. )
I would lose the freaking gingerbread theme is all the Samsung phones....touchwiz and the whole framework is nice but looks totally dated to 3 years ago.

A customizable lock screen would be nice, also would love it if I could turn on the screen with voice command.

New UI for E-mail
The black UI on the e-mail is shocking. Can never read e-mails outside. THis should change to white, or atleast have the option to change to white.
I would make it able to lock in reverse portrait mode.

I agree. Tried several others, but Apex is easy to use and very customizable. If it were like this most would never look to change to another launcher.

They should get rid of that ridiculous amount space berween the dock and the app shortcuts. I know theres a mod but they should change that. And ofcourse incread grid size especially with the columns so we can add more folders or apps in a single row. Also add the ability to be able to add folders within the app drawer or at the least allow to reorganize the apps to our liking. Also it would be nice if we could have the option to choose the folder icon background.

I like the TW UI, it's a lot easier and simpler than other branded UI's. Just some things,
1- Bigger grid size options, I mean, up to 8x8.
2- Enabling custom icons.
3- Scrollable dock.
4- Re-sizable icons, including dock.
5- Vertical menu in App drawer (I am not talking about the list view)
6- Not a must, but it'd be cool if they could allow a custom background for App drawer. I kinda like it and miss it from bloated Go Ex.

I would definitely want a Pop Up Dialer which should be designed for use with the s pen! and more pop up optimizations like a pop up calculator and such.
Pop ups and multi windows are different in this case !
I love Action Memo functionality but I would like the ability to customize actions. Specifically, I would prefer to send lists of todo items from action memo to a different task manager than the s-planner (ex: Asana, Wunderlist, GTask , etc.). Anyone have any ideas?

I would also like a different app other than Action Memo to be triggered once the pen is pulled.
Oh how I await the Note 3 ROMs of the future...

Indeed friends, indeed... sign the bootloader unlock in my signature and there may be hope yet.
If OneNote had drawing support then we wouldn't even need action memo anymore..
Is there a hack that enabled the pen window to be smaller? Currently It looks like the pen window takes at least 1/2 x 1/2 of the screen.
For a calculator, I would be happy to have a much smaller window.
A second, related question is about a media app that works well on the pen window. I'd like to easily be able to start/step/select music while reading a PDF.
(Reading notes while hearing the matching music). I'm using ES File explorer, but everything is much too small. It is hard to hit the right buttons. I'd like an app that displays nice big buttons in a small window. Does that exist?
Thanks a lot!
If I click the Spen on the screen and choose pen window I can draw the window any size I want.
My question is how can I add apps I might want to open in the pen window?

Strange. On my Note 10.1, no matter how small I try to draw the window, the smallest it can be is a quarter of the screen.

There's an app that can enable any apk for working in the window. It is called MW-PEN App Enabler. Look for a thread discussing it.
Thanks.....I'm stock 100%. If that makes a difference I don't know.....

I'm stock, too. rom version MK1. Can you make sure that the window can be as small as you want?
Is that for the original size of the window, or also for resizing? When I try to resize my window smaller than 1/4 of the screen, it stops
resizing, and the edges turn red (resize by dragging the corners/edges)
It looks like it depends on the app, 1/4 of the screen to bit smaller.....The pen app, mw pen will not work for me. Sounds like each tablet is a little different.....

The MW app is not totally trivial to get working.
First pick an installed app. Click 'Pen Window enable'. Then click process. Then click uninstall. Then click Install.
Using the app called Popup Widget, I'm able to quickly place any kinds of widget directly on the second screen, since we can easily move back and forth app shortcuts from the second screen and home screen, but that mainly applies to the stock launcher only, tried with Nova, but didn't work. Anyways, here's a video showing an example of creating widget and placing it into second screen and works fine.
https://youtu.be/mX-diQEANw8
The app is called Popup Widget, and can be found on the Play Store.
Credits @klark1kent for the idea of implementing custom widgets on the second screen using Zooper and Tasker apps. If you want, you can head over to his thread in the link below for an in-depth guide using Zooper Widgets
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v10/themes-apps/screen-custom-app-icons-widget-t3269726
Update: So, I've created a new video that actually allows you to add more icons/shortcuts to the second screen. So take a look over at the link below.
https://youtu.be/nuo0IAhwUR0
The app is called SiMi Folder Widget, and can be found on the Play Store.
You've been busy. How did you ever come up with this? Nice video though

Usually what I'd do since you can easily toggle between different launchers via settings, just switch to the stock launcher, place it in then change back.

The idea was actually from your thread, so got to thank you for that idea that you actually came up, and I was looking around for other alternatives instead of using Zooper and Tasker, and Popup Widget sort of solves the issue for me. And also having to place any kind of widgets on your second screen really helps in situations where you wouldn't want to get kicked out of other apps, let's say if you are messaging and you want to quickly see some new tweets to freshen up.

That's exactly what I said in thr original thread. I used popup widget also but hey I'm happy you liked the idea and clearly I didn't create a guide initially because I wanted to get it out to the community as soon as possible anyway I agree the options are endless... The only thing about just using popup which I alluded to in the other post is that it wasn't working with other launchers and zooper allows you to create your own widgets and add them to popup instead of relying on system default widgets. Let's keep the innovations coming though but yeah I was surprised you essentially jacked the idea with zero credit. Thanks for making it right

Oh damn, I guess I didn't read it clearly! Really sorry about that... I guess I did miss the part about Popup Widget and was sort of lost in the guide of yours so I was looking around for alternatives. My bad if I really missed out on my part but I hope you enjoyed the mini guide that I created, and shall give proper credits for you
Best app for v10 so far
Bumping for suggestions
Is Popup Widget the same as Popup Widget 2? Because I couldn't find any Popup Widget without a 2 next to it.

Is there a way to make popup widgets using the stock apps like favorite contacts and LG Health?
I haven't tried, but would think you could make a widget from Zooper, then use Popup widgets utilizing your custom zooper widget

As those are LG-based Widgets, which is lockdown only to stock launcher, Popup Widget can't recognize it as a proper widget, only universal ones work.
Hence sadly it's not possible to actually get those into the second screen.
