I can't tap on the menu button and back button with the s-pen on GN2.
Is there a way to get the s-pen to take you back to the home screen ?
I read some thread (from 2011 and 2012) about "menu button" and "return button" of GN2 and I wanted to know if definitively it was impossible to use these two buttons with s-pen.
Today I'm on custom Rom Android 4.3 DN3.
For the moment I use "GMD Spen Control.apk" who is a good substitut.
Maybe There's a way to make these keys work with the s-pen
Your advice is welcome
It's a hardware feature.. so not possible with our note 2.

OK, i understand. :good:
So, definitely no solution to make it work directly with s-pen
Only solution is by the screen itself and with an app
Many thanks for quick reply and explanation

Hey guys,
First what a nice forum is XDA! EX-Iphone user here, just bought and rooted+flashed CM10 nightly on my galaxy S3. A couple of bugs for some days, but now everything is working fine.
But there is one more little thing There's any chance to "emulate" or create a "gesture" to replace galaxy S3 home button ? I hate hardware buttons, on iPhone there was a Cydia tweak called Zephyr who alowed me to create screen gestures to perform any action.
and on android ? there's any chance to do that ? something like a gesture from bottom of screen or remap Menu button to something like: Two Taps it works like Home Button, one Tap it shows menu.
Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english and my lack ok knowledge on Android world. I just arrived :good:
possible if you flash the (older) nexus JB rom, that's the only time I came across software home button

Thanks for answer friend, but i found a way. Look at this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29739389&postcount=122
It gives a complete solution for what i was asking. It's amazing.
I use the back key more than the menu key and find it to be quite a stretch when using one-handed.
Anyway to flip the buttons around?

Left handed guy here. Ive been holding phones with my right hand because my left pocket is used for pens. So now when I use the note 2 its perfect since my left hand is free to use the s-pen when I need it

If I use the S Pen, then the phone is in my right hand.
Skip Button Savior and go right to GMD Gesture Control Paid. Works ideally for me.
The lite version lacks custom gestures so you need the paid version.

Will it be possible for a dev to switch the actual buttons though -- I'd rather not add more buttons to the screen.
instruction on the other forum already

You can find the instruction on how to change menu and back button.
(I don't think I can post the link.)
Go to international Note II GT-N7100 forum > Note II General,
Search "swap menu back"

Hi!
My Spen w/o pressing the button, is able to function. But, when I press the button (on the Spen), it doesn't screen capture or trace the screen to lasso an image.
I tried it on another Note 2, my Spen works on theirs.
I tried their Spen on my Note 2, it didn't work.
Anyone notice this?
Thanks, team!

Normally all spen works in any note 2. It seem your phones digitizer having some problem. Check with service center.

Did you try looking at the spen settings? If yes and still no progress. As he said, go to the service center or at least google your problem before going there as a last resort.
Hi there. Love the phone. Small problem though - I pull the pen in and out, press the side button on the pen, but nothing - no pie menu. Any ideas of what the issue may be ?
You need to hover the pen over the screen so you can see the pointer on the screen. Then press the button and the menu will show up.

I'll add "the button on the s-pen" I had the same problem and it took me a while to figure out the button is on the pen. :laugh::laugh:
I'll also add that in s pen settings there is the following options for when you remove the pen: turn it off when you remove pen, action memo, and air command. 'Air command being the one your referring to' It could possibly be turned off
