I ran across the universe trying to find some way to run sketchbook pro for tablets on my galaxy note 2, i find it irritating that the phone version is so limited.
I tried adjusting the build.prop, and even the dpi settings and ui with paranoid android but it never looked good, things would still overlap and not function.
Then i found out how to rig it with an xposed installer modification, and since i still didnt see it around i figured i would write up a guide to share with everyone.
This was tested on stock rooted 4.1.1 and stock rooted 4.1.2
Note you will need:
1. Root
2. The sketchbook pro for tablets apk (i used titanium backup to transfer it from my nexus 7).
Steps:
1. Download the xposed installer from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
2. Install xposed installer apk, open it and click install/update, reboot your phone.
3. Install the appsettings apk from http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/microdownloads/xposed-app-settings.5/viewfile
4. Open xposed installer, go to modules, activate app settings, reboot the phone.
5. Install sketchbook pro for tablets (i got the apk after i bought and installed it from my nexus 7, i will not post the apk file.)
6. Open app settings, find autodesk sketchbook on the list and push it.
7. Turn the switch on the top to on, change dpi to 213, and hit save.
Run sketchbook pro for tablets and enjoy.
The ui will be a bit small, but everything should work, and nothing but the pallets should overlap. Pics attached of sketchbook pro running on note 2 screen.

I just figured out how to do this my self today and was going to post the same instructions. Works like a charm. I do not get any overlap with pallets.
Nice! I've been searching high and low for this.
However, I'm not rooted, and really don't want to do it just for this. I don't know much about rooting and really I don't need much of the benefits you rooted guys have.
Is there a way to just install this without rooting, for instance following this:
1. Buy the Pro version on a tablet (I have a galaxy note 10.1 and it works great there)
2. Download and install Astro File Manager on Tabet
3. Go to Astro>Application Manager (on tablet)
4. Locate SketchBook Pro
5. Tap it and select "Back UP". It will create a copy of the of the apk.
6. Email, bluetooth, dropbox, etc, the apk to your Note 2
7. Locate with with Astro App on Note 2 and side load it.
Has anybody tried to do it that way? I have a very stable Note 2, besides the Amazon AppStore app, I have never side loaded any apk and I don't want to mess up anything by side loading anything that is not compatible.

This will work, the app will run. The only problem with this method is it runs on the phones dpi, as such pallets and toolbars are scaled up and overlap and dont fit properly.
Same thing with Paranoid android's dpi settings, just never changed it right and things would overlap.
Thus why i rigged up this method, so that things wouldnt overlap and so everything was usable.

Well I tried it this way and I got stuck on step#5. The app is locked and I cannot back it up on my tablet. Well too bad, I guess I'll have to wait until autodesk makes the app compatible with the phone

Never used astro, if you don't want to root try carbon backup from the play store.
Otherwise, can't help you much if you want to follow someone else's directions, lol.

Often Android market compatibility issues arise from changes made to the LCD-density property in the build.prop file.
If you've got root access, you can google your device and 'build.prop' to find the standard. You can use ES File Explorer (or a range of others) to change the property. Then if you change it back, it should work again. That's if it's a market compatibility issue.
I've got an SGS2, and when I installed earlier ICS ROMs they also had problems with Words with Friends. It would install properly, but then freeze or crash...leading to the acore process ending.
If it's a custom ROM, try posting in the forum where you DL'ed it. Either the dev will already know about it, or he won't. In either case, he should be able to tell you if there's a fix, if there's a fix-work-in-progress, if it's a samsung problem, or if you're just SOL.
If it's a stock ICS from Sammy...well, you might just be out of luck.
Like the gentleman said above. It's probably due to changing your resolution. Fortunately, I had the same problem and did a lot of research and found a fix. There's 2 ways to fix it.
1. Set it back to the default resolution, then reboot and clear the market's memory.
2. Pay for LCD Density Modder Pro (3 bucks) on android market. It can fix it so the resolution doesn't screw up the market any more. This is the route I took and it worked great.

All LDMP does is have you download and install a modded market, right?
(Not knocking the app, just asking)

sideload the apk??
or another trick ive read recently is to use the browser and find the app on the web market, click install, select the browser on the pop-up, sign into your account, select browser again on pop-up, click the back button once and that time select market not browser....hope u can follow all that and that it works??

Hello Guys,
I have the old default brown colored Snote on my device. The same is linked to s pen detachment too. The problem is i cant copy or paste in this s note for some reason. I can perform these functions everywhere else.
I have an updated snote too (the red one) sadly it never replaced the old one as it should have and doesnt even sync the notes from the old one. The cop/paste function perfectly here.
i tried to leave the old app (the brown one) but there no option to trigger the new s note page when s pen is detached. The setting for spen just say pop up note and thats always the old one by default.
Can anyone help me in this reagrd?
PS: oi dont want to root,.
uninstall or deactivate s note, but do a backup of data first if you need it. I remember, that on OF the s pen wasn't very good.
I recommend to you to change to custom ROM i.e. from dr. ketan from 20th Oct 2014, air commands and every s pen function works as in Note 3

So I have a stock unrooted Note 4. On TouchWiz I have two widgets, Galaxy Apps Essentials, and Galaxy Apps Gifts, both of these widgets take me to a page showing some apps, and then there is a see more Galaxy Apps link at the bottom. Clicking that link takes me to Samsungs App store. I can not find an App just for the Galaxy App Store though. Is there suppose to be one? Is there a way to get to it that I don't know? On my Note 10.1 2014 there is a Galaxy App store apk and app installed that lets me update these apps.
Going to the Samsung page to download the APK like I found elsewhere, there is nothing there for my phone.
Any ideas? Right now I want to use a non stock launcher, but that disables the widgets to get to the store.
As you indicated, you likely have to be using the stock TouchWiz launcher and place the Samsung Apps widget on one of your homescreens. At least, that's the only way I've been able to access the Samsung app store.

Seems weird. Like I mentioned, on my Note 10.1 2014 edition tab, there is just a Galaxy App store application that I can run. I tried to install it on my phone.. bad idea.. So is the only way to access the app store literally through a widget? That seems bad, cause I don't want to waste a spot on a screen for a widget....
The Note 3 had an apps store shortcut in the app drawer. Don't know why but they only included the widget on my Note 4. I believe that with the Note 4 Samsung has begun de-bloating their mobile devices and I'm guessing removing the shortcut is a result of that.

You can download the apk on the Web. That's what I did

I got it on the web too. I think it's apps.Samsung.com
Edit: they changed that page. Idiots.

Yeah, Verizon strips the Galaxy Apps shortcut out of all of their Samsung devices. You can get to it through the Galaxy Apps widget, or by tapping the three dots in the upper right corner of the apps screen and selecting "Galaxy Essentials".
Or you can download the full version of Galaxy Apps from http://apps.samsung.com/jupiter/mw/apk_en.as
Once downloaded and installed, you'll see Galaxy Apps displayed with the rest of your apps.
I recently upgraded from my note 4, where I was using the MW-pen app enabler. I didn't need to root with the use of this app, as the only thing I ever wanted that root offered was the selection of what multiwindow apps I could choose from.
With the note 7 though, looks like the app doesn't work, so I'm stuck with the default list of note 7 pre-approved apps to multiwindow. Does anyone know a fix/workaround/app that will work for this so that I don't need to root again. I'm getting too old for this, said the cop in that cop movie.
