hello everyone,
Is there a way to remap or "recreate" the spen button click? i have tried remapping the buttons in system but everytime i change the spen button (sec_e-pen.kl) in keylayout it does not work.
In case you are wondering why the hell anyone would want this let me explain: i have the new leaked TW MI6 rom installed including the note 3 mod with aircommand. I also have a Smart dock (witch finally works AWESOME with the new firmware) that is connected to my tv with hdmi. now that i can draw my own windows for apps with air command i cant use my Spen because im behind my tv with a keyboard and mouse.
Any suggestions are welcome, im getting pretty desperate :\
thx in advance

Hello everybody, I'm very new in Android but I wonder is there any keyboard with programmable buttons. Quite often I need to type the current date, time and such.
At the moment I'm using Smart Keyboard and really like it. It will be best if there is a way to add this button somehow...
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!
Hello,
I am using rii bluetooth keyboard on my note 2 and I cannot find two functions, how to opet menu (the left soft key function) and also the Home button function. If someone can help, please do. Thank you.
not all keyboards support all android buttons(menu/home/back/search)
using external keyboard pro it is possible to remap an existing key to one of those functions.
Ok, thx, i will try that. I was hoping that there was some kind of a universal key combination, like win+m to minimize i.e. imitate the home button.
I have recently installed Cyanogenmod 10.2 through the CM Installer and the look and feel loving stock android a lot. I understand that the framework for touchwiz is not present which causes CM to not be able to have any of the s-pen functionality. However, is having the cursor that shows where the s-pen is currently hovering above part of those "features" that require the Touchwiz framework? Afterall, the functionality of it working as a mouse over still works in browsers, only the cursor is missing. Are there any way to perhaps use the wacom tablet's sensors as a mouse input which will display the "mouse" cursor on wherever the s-pen is pointing at?

yes u can get that its somewhere in settings ill tell u when i myself find it again
somewhere in display or accesibility or input etc
I found this app, it should allow you to do so.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmd.spencontrol&hl=en
Also most of the ROMs, have this feauture built-in.
I don't think GMD shows the pointer where your spen is hovering above at, does it? At least the description doesn't seem to say so, can anyone actually confirm before actually plonking 6 bucks into the app?

Thanks a lot! I actually found it! Didn't scroll far down in the Language & Input sections.. However this begs the next question, can the mouse pointer icon actually be changed?
Hey all, is there a way to remap the spen button to something else other than bringing up the air command menu?
I use Papyrus a lot and would like to remap the s pen button to switch to the Papyrus eraser.
Sounds like a potent rom feature or maybe an xposed module... I couldn't find much on this... Try looking in the note 2 and note 3 forums... If it can be done it on those I would think it would be done the same way... I would be surprised if you didn't need root though.
Any word?
Does anyone know if there's been any development on this?

I'm neck deep in smali files, looking for this. Just give me a bit. Unless a more experienced developer shows up, I'll try my best to find something for you. But be gentle
note buddy app
This is not a way to remap spen button but i think its a great and easy workaround
Note buddy app has auto launch you can set to open papyrus when spen is removed.
Also can easily set attach and detach sounds
Then goto spen in settings to turn off stock sounds and disable detachment from air command to none
