Hi all. My programmer friend and I were wondering about editing the code to allow mouse style clicking while the S-Pen is hovering to open apps and links etc. I know that this is possible physically because when I boot into recovery and hoover and click it works. I just want it to work on my rom in either a apk or system mod.
I have viewed the S-Pen sdk http://developer.samsung.com/android/technical-docs/S-Pen-SDK-2-2-5-Tutorial
but was wondering if something already exists or can be modified such as in the build.prop etc.
Any info or app suggestions / mods would be great!
Thanks in advance! I think with would be a great feature while using the hoover scroll function in a web browser then by able to click while hoovering.
:laugh:
I found an APK and explored it in .zip viewer called spengesturepad.apk in system/app
I wonder if this is the apk that needs modifying.

This would be nice.. My question is when you hover to avoid accidently clicking something do you mean tapping the button on the side of the pen as well to get it to click while hovering.. Or is that even possible

I would love this. It seems possible and plausible. Never thought about it but it seems like a natural function.

Like the idea especially since my Damn pen always seems to be selecting items I don't want whenever I hover over things. Btw do any of you get their s pen tip stuck? I ask because I would write some letters and as I lift the pen to continue writing it still draws a freaken line to where I finally touch. So freaken annoying :banghead: any ideas on a fix? TIA :beer:

Unfortunately I don't have a link but yes I read some where that under the button on the s pen there is a screw/knob you can twist to make it more or less sensitive. Seems yours is to sensitive. Hopefully you didn't get a defective pen or worse device. Good luck bro.
Ps top answer your question it hasn't happened to me THAT bad before. Maybe once or twice a week if that I'll hover over some thing and it'll select it or scroll

I don't know if there is a setting to change this behavior, but spen driver is firing events for button click and hover, so it is possible to write root application that would do this. Obviously incorporating it in custom rom would be even easier.

I am hot on the trail. If you use s note and hoover click the pad it switches pen to eraser etc. I logcat the even and am scouring the sdk.

I would too, and Virus is a beast of a dev!!! He doesn't have a Sprint Note 2 though, so I'm not sure if he's even messing with this anymore or not. I'll ask him in the morning, as we are both on the East Coast and it's kinda late now.

I recently upgraded to the LG Optimus G Pro and I love it and all, but while I'm at work when I get messages, my phone does all sorts of crazy things in my pocket because the screen comes on. I was wondering if there was a setting that I was looking over that would stop it from doing that? I'm trying not to root it because I know the bare minimum about rooting phones, but I did root my Galaxy s2 Skyrocket with youtube tutorials.

What things is it doing? I have the flip case and that keeps it from coming on and such. I think there is a pocket mode in the setting(I could be wrong about this though) check in display section or even under notifications.

Or go into the offending app that's causing you trouble and turn notifications off.

I think there are a few others who have complained about this as well. I don't have a texting plan (I use Google Voice), so I haven't ever experienced this. However, if there aren't any options in the phone settings, there may be another way.
I seem to be on this Tasker kick lately, so when someone has a problem that is related to the phone sensors or events, I tend to think "how can I fix this with Tasker?!" . As a result, I have made an app really quick using Tasker and have even included the project XML if you want to fiddle with it on your own. It does NOT require root. However, it will need you to install another free app called "Secure Settings" and give it administrator rights in your phone settings. All that the app does is wait for an incoming message and checks to see if the proximity sensor detects something in front of it. If it does, it turns the screen off. However, like I said, I don't have a texting plan, so I haven't had a chance to really test it. The app interface is just an "ON/OFF" button and a "Close" button. If it doesn't work, just turn it off or uninstall it. It is set to "OFF" when it is first installed.
Alternatively, you can play around with it if you get Tasker. I think there is still a trial period you can get if you aren't sure if you want to buy it. Let me know if it works or if you have any other questions.
I named the xml file as a .zip just to upload to xda. Just rename the file without the ".zip" at the end and then you can edit and/or import to Tasker.

This is easily fixed, just change the lockscreen to anything other than swipe and the phone will no longer accidentally become unlocked in your pocket

Had the same issue. Do a search for it. Lots of threads. Maybe try Magiclocker or Widgetlocker instead of the LG home screen.

Okay I just realised that there is an emergency call button on the screen when you have either pin, password or pattern unlock set. If you just have swipe, there is no emergency call button. Maybe this will help?

Sooo my g pro comes this saturday and i was wondering if there were any tips or tricks you guys had?
isnt this the best feature ever, since slice bread, ?
How do I enable this feature
Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
thats the thing, noone knows, but we are supposed to have it according to qualcomm
It is in your owners manual. Just saying.
Double press home button.
Hit menu button. Go into settings and turn on voice wake. Will not work with lock screen engaged
NOTE 3
And how does the always on part work? I can get s-voice to work when the phone is off. I can get it to respond when I'm in the app. But it doesn't work when I'm doing anything else. Someone help me get my always on working like yours.

It only always works when screen is off. If screen is on you must double tap home button.

I found this feature out by accident and Ya it's a cool feature but just wished s voice was more accurate. A few times I had to repeat myself and sometimes it won't get what I'm saying at all. So sometimes I'll just tell it to launch voice search since that can pick up what I'm saying much better.

I have been using switchr on my mega for ages as it's such a fluid way to switch between apps by sliding in from the right or left. It makes even more sense on this device rather than trying to goto the bottom buttons each time.
You can get switchr for free from play store there is a pro version but you can try it out.

Will try
Thanks for the heads up on this application. I am looking to purchase the Note Pro and this might be just what I am looking for to cycle between Power Point, VNC, and the Whiteboard.
No worries how this is not baked in I don't know it's such simple and useful you can choose by arc like in screen shot tab swipe in a row or like windows 8 by sliding apps in from left or right many customisable options

This is awesome! You're right, with the sheer size of this device it makes so much sense to use this rather than the physical button.
Thanks for pointing this out.

In addition to Switchr, I'm also using (and highly recommend) Button Savior (non-root).
Button Savior adds a small tab that pops out with back, home and other function buttons. (Paid version is highly customizeable). I was finding it annoying to also have to reach so far for the back button, but this is a nice solution. Now with Switchr and Button Savior in tandem theres no reliance on any hard buttons.
Funny I was thinking about the back button would be handy I'll check this out I did email the dev of switchr to be able to pin back button to the arc like you can with the home button. This may do thanks

Is swipe down to close working for anyone? I'm using Flow setting and although I get the visual red feedback at the bottom the application I'm attempting to close does not close.
As much as I'd like to use Arc it's just not enough icons for my taste.
I may go back to Swapps even though development for it is dead.
The note has this built in. at least the 10.1 2014 You can move it wherever and it has home back Zoom notification Shade etc. pretty cool plus no extra apps installed

He mentions in his thread that he is updating swipe down to close as it broke in last build he normally has updates once or twice a week

Nice. Thanks for pointing this out. The Note PRO 12.2 has this as well. I just wish it could be customized. For me, the trigger is way too big and it's slow. Sticking with Switchr + Button Savior combo as they work perfectly.

Yeah, I gave up on Switchr a long time ago.
I now use GMT Gesture Control which is much better for me. I've got a bunch of gestures set up to launch apps or do things that I want to do.

Worst case scenario: broken s-pen digitizer. Best case scenario: software bug.
Did it always behave this way? Have you tried using different s-pens?
No it was fine since 2 weeks back it started like this. I tried other s-pen its working perfect and this s pen in that cell...messes up that too. But if its broken how did it happen? My cell never fell...so as s pen.

Check if the nib of the pen (the small white part at the end) can be pushed inside. If it can't be pushed, pull it out gently. There should always be some play in the nib to allow for pressure variations. Had the same problem. Worked like a charm for me.
