Is someone working on porting the smart stay feature from the Galaxy s3 to the s2?

Pretty sure Smart Stay just uses the front camera to see if you are still there. Can't see why it wouldn't work but might be a battery drain. Also not sure if it has hooks into the new touchwiz, which people are looking at porting at present.

No need to port. Use the app called "Super video, floating & popup" from the play store. Works well on the sgs2

Smart Stay is the one which uses the front camera to track your eye to determine whether you are looking at the screen or not. That's Pop-up play you mentioned. I wouldn't use that crappy, buggy & ****ty app though. Hope Pop-Up play is more stable..

There is no reason, why it should not bepossible to use smartstay on any other mobile phone.
It's only a additional setting that tells the phone to look what the user does after a special time. if you look on it, camera will recognize it and a software will tell the phone, hey user is lookin' at me. thats all.
btw the camera hardware (front and back) of s2 and s3 is completely the same, if you don't believe me, ask samsung, they said that in an official statement.

So is anyone working on getting the Smart Stay feature to our beloved s2??

Is Smart Stay inplemented in TW because i cant find it as an special apk, can anyone help me??

Seriously is noone interested in fixing the SmartStay feature from the GT-I9300 to GT-I9100??
You know it's the feature that keeps the screen on as long as u look at it...

Stop begging and bumping your thread, this will only push devs away from even bothering helping.
If you want it so much look into porting it yourself.

SIII doesnt display a lot of stuff my Note did?

My S3 (stock rom/everything) is so much better than my note in every way but one.... (minus the screen size for movies)
On my note I could go to desktop websites and view movies/open emails and all of the pictures would be there... (yes, I select display all images)
On my S3... it says I am missing a plug in, but the plug in isnt compatible for my phone or makes no difference, I cannot remember...
I am sure this is a simple fix, but I dont want to root my phone or any business like that.
Sorry for another Newb question. And I appreciate the help. Its annoying.

Great note taking app?

Yeah, I use my nexus 7 for school, and I'm a Softmor and we take notes a lot, and I was wondering if there was a app, that I could use my stylis to latterly write and it would transfer it to text...so I can print it and put it in my notebook. Thx

Evernote. Hands down best note taking app - will sync to your Evernote account online and all devices you have the Evernote app on will have synced identical data (notes). Virtually impossible to lose your notes unless something happens to your N7 before being able to connect to wifi for syncing

I don't have the same needs as you, and just use Papyrus when I need to take notes, and then manually transcribe stuff after the meeting is over. Google suggests PhatPad may do what you're looking for (handwriting recognition & conversion), but I have no firsthand experience with it.

Sorry. That was really bugging me.
Keeping an eye on this myself. Have a lot of meeting coming up I will be writing things down for documentation. Evernote wasn't very friendly for me.

yea used a plain targus stylus too, nothing fancy. had to explore all the features and play around with the app to really get to know everything it can do.
ive tried supernote on the nexus 7 but without any DPI change the app cut off some of the menu bar. I used supernote all the time when I had the transformer, but i like freenote more now since it has the ability to export multiple pages into a single PDF

Evernote!! :laugh:
Here's why:
Simple, and easy to use!
Saves into your account when you put it aside!
Full screen, when you're in note-taking mode!
Spell Check, Features work well together (for example, voice recording as you take notes!), no bugs, no crashing
I recommend using a Bluetooth keyboard. It makes note taking with a phone or tablet
so much easier. It's also awesome, and nice to show off. Way better than having a laptop because of less space, and very light.
You can find a good keyboard for about $50.
I think its essential for taking notes

Check out this thread I've installed it and it works great http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526433

There was a note taking app that came with the transformer prime. It does exactly what you asked. It was ASUS bloat so its not on play store, but you could probably get someone to pull the apk.

Tis called supernote the apk is floating around here if not findable pm found it works best in landscape with dpi of <180 but at the moment I'm quite drunk so best not to put too much stock in what I say. Right now I'm engrossed in the life aquatic
So stay cool

Evernote ++ Swype
As silly as it might seem, i can take notes effectively using Evernote and swype in combination. I was a compulsive note taker in my University days but my handwriting was never good and now it's worse than awful. I find with swype I can enter text pretty quickly - probably as fast as handwriting.

I really want to suggest evernote.
Hands down the best way to keep notes. Its search feature easily scrolls through typed and handwritten notes with ease. I think it also somehow scans images for context.
Regardless of how you get it down, make sure it ends up in evernote.
I am an IT Admin with several certs. When I take cert classes through evernote, I can easily find the information when in the field regardless if I'm on my phone, tablet, PC or anything. Really saves me tons of hassle.
Also these tablets aren't good at handwriting with a stylus. You can do it but it is sloppy. You end up with a mess at the end and it sucks.
Get a Bluetooth keyboard if your better with that, or a good virtual keyboard. Create some folders in Evernote specific to a topic or by class. School/Math101/Chapter7, etc

Group Cast

Why is the group cast feature missing from the AllShare play app on the ATT version galaxy note 2?
is there anyway to install an updated version of AllShare Play that includes this feature?

Is this feature something that no 1 else uses?
I just thought it strange that my galaxy note 10.1 running an older ICS ROM has this feature built into the AllShare play and yet my new Galaxy Note 2 running JB does not include this feature. Would love to be able to use this from my phone.

I find it hard to believe no 1 else is bothered by the fact that our galaxy note II does not include the group cast function in the AllShare app. Both the S 3 and galaxy note 10.1 has this feature built into the app.
I even fash the new nternational ROM onto my note II just to see if it would have the Group Cast function but it is still not there.
Is there any chance that this app could be replaced by the S 3 or note 10.1 one?

I noticed Group Cast on my wifes SIII but the only thing I see on the Note II is all share cast. I guess these two features are different, right.

Yes, Group Cast is a feature in AllShare Play that will allow your phone screen to display on another phone or device able to join a Group Cast..everyone can share what is on the screen. I have that feature on my Note 10.1 and, as you said, its on the S III but for some reason its not part of the function on the Note 2 app - I have no idea why they would have left it off.
I realize not many people use it, but in my family we all have Note 2 phones (and a few 10.1 tablets) and would love to use this feature with them all.
I posted on the S III forums asking if i were to side load the AllShare APK from the S III onto my Note 2 via TWRP would it work ? My hope is I can do that and overwrite the old AllShare APK on my Note 2 with the S III one that has that function built in. I do not think there is any hardware limitation on the Note 2 that would prevent it from working...
Anyone else know?

When i install the allshare play apk ripped from my GS3, i have a group cast option. However, for some reason it goes away as if the system is fixing itself. Need to check with other gn2 owners on other carriers to see if they have it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app

Also, the share option isn't in the menu after you open the file, you have to open it from the menu before you open the file. I am using Astro file manager.
Press and hold file you want to share. Then press menu
Press share
Select Group Cast
Enter pin code
So I can get it working, but not sure what causes the app to return to its stock state.

GroupCast Missing THEORY
My wife and I own Verizon S3s and we have been using Groupcast since we got the phones. We noticed last night when launching Allshare it wanted to be updated and after that no more GroupCast. I have a theory about what happened as far as it pertains to our Verizon S3s. You can extrapolate from this to figure out what happened to your AT&T Note devices.
1.) Samsung released Jelly Bean 4.1.1 which used the old Allshare which had Groupcast inside it.
2.) Samsung released Jellybean 4.1.2 with Premium Suite. They decided to remove Groupcast from Allshare because it was confusing too many people to have an app within an app. So they made Groupcast its own app. (If you read any of the stories online about the Premium Suite you will notice one of the new features is a GroupCast app.) See the story below as an example of a mention of Groupcast app coming in 4.1.2:
Well, I had a link to the page here but since I haven't posted 10 times this site is making me remove it. Lets just say it was at the Sammobile website under a story about the korean galaxy sIII getting 4.1.2
3.) They released the Updated Allshare app (which doesn't have GroupCast in it) to the Google Play Store.
4.) You have either Ice Cream 4.0.0 or Jellybean 4.1.1 on your Verizon S3 phone since 4.1.2 is not yet available and won't be for probably 6 months.
5.) You launch the old Allshare app on your phone. The Allshare app checks for updates upon launch and sees the 4.1.2 version of Allshare is available in the Google Play store even though it is not compatible with your phone. You are asked if you want to update and of course you say yes because you don't realize you are accidentally deleting GroupCast. You are brought to the Google Play store to the Allshare app page and told Groupcast features will be removed from the app and Groupcast will be added as its own app. You go through with the update.
6.) Allshare is updated to remove Groupcast features. Share to Groupcast is removed from Gallery menu, etc.
7.) Groupcast app is NOT added to your phone because you don't have Android 4.1.2 with Premium Suite. After you update Allshare you will notice that something downloads in the notification tray and you get a second message that Allshare is again updated. I wonder if that second download is the GroupCast app that tries to install but doesn't show up in the app tray.
So you just lost Groupcast because you let Samsung update your phone! :crying:
Fortunately you can uninstall the update from the manage apps section and all the groupcast stuff gets put back to the way it was and it works again. :laugh:
I talked with a Samsung rep about this last night for 30 minutes and of course they had no idea what I was talking about and didn't even seem to comprehend my story. It was recommended that I clear the data and cache from Allshare, reboot the phone. I tried that but it didn't add Groupcast features anywhere I can detect. They then recommended that I do a hard reset on my phone. Well, today I got the Jelly Bean update and to me that should be akin to a hard reset. I re-ran the update to Allshare with the same results; still no Groupcast. :crying:
Unfortunately everytime you launch Allshare you will be prompted to update the app and you'll need to say 'No' if you want to keep Groupcast. :crying:
Looks like Samsung messed up somehow; at least that's my theory. I hope this helps people to get a better understanding of what happened and perhaps Samsung will realize that they should not have allowed people to update Allshare until 4.1.2 is available and we are allowed to download the Groupcast stand alone app. Maybe they will realize their mistake and send us a message with a link so we can download it before the 4.1.2 update is available.
Anyway, if anyone has a better idea or better facts than me let me know.

Almost all of the s pen features will lost however samsung still release S pen SDK so we can get s pen apps via root and custom roms and also gestures will work using GSD s pen gestures in google play u can use papyrus and google keep instead of S note and so on...
Peraonally, I am not rooted in fear of my S pen and multi Window But I will in upcoming 3 years.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using XDA Premium HD app

You will not loose anything by rooting alone, least of all the pen functionality. If you choose to flash a non Samsung based rom (e.g. Cyanogenmod or AOKP) then yes you will loose a lot of the pen functionality.
Rooting and flashing are not the same thing, don't be fooled.
