I just picked up my Galaxy Note 3 yesterday and one of the things I noticed was the ability to add users/profiles is missing. This is a core functionality of Android and has been present for quite some time now.
I've gone through the settings many times I have been unable to find a way to add profiles. This is especially useful for people who have small children yet still allow them to use their phones to play children's games, etc. If anyone knows how to utilize this functionality within the Galaxy Note 3, please let me know.
Thank you.

Unless I'm misunderstanding you, the profile feature which was added in Android 4.2 is only for tablets (of course unless it's hacked in).
I thought the 4.3 version allowed user profiles for phones too.

I don't think so, as my Galaxy Nexus 4.3 doesn't allow different user profiles as far as I can tell.
Nope.
The feature's only been enabled for tablets. 4.3 brought Restricted Profiles, but it didn't add phone support.

We'll probably get a ROM that hacks it in, don't worry.
Any way of getting it? I have a rooted note 4 if that helps. Anyone that can help lemme know
+1 I've also been hunting for this. I heavily use S-Note on my Note 10.1 and would like to sync (using FolderSync) to my Note 4 for compatibility with Action Memo (which is now baked into the S-Note v4+ app).
*Edit: @moabizzi - Since you have a rooted Note 4 you should be able to back up the S-Note app using something like Titanium Backup and grab the .apk. Something like this... http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all-things-root/263876-saving-apk-using-titanium-backup-file.html

Did this work ?
I've been wondering about this as well since Action Memo was merged into SNote on the Note 4. Having Action Memo be an entirely separate app and on the tablet is kind of an annoyance now.
Ill try it tomorrow and report back
@moabizzi Any luck?
I was reading into a bit and realized that it would need a bit more work than just uninstalling the current apk and reinstalling the one from the note 4. it needs SPen functionality which would need those files also deleted from the 10.1 and transfered over from the note 4. anyone on good terms with a dev that could look into it for us?
I took the apk from my note 4 and installed it on my note pro 12.2. No go

Thats what i figured, it needs some system files probably with a modded base to recognize it as a note 4

It will need new S Note apks and some of the system/lib files.

If someone can reference the right files and instructions ill give it a try and see if it works.
Other than that looks like were stuck unless we can get a devs help.
So i went through my system files using titanium back up and these are the five files which jumled out to me to be the ones specific for the SPen and functionality
DigitalPenSDK 4.4.4-N910TUVU1ANJ7*
Direct pen input 4.4.4-N910TUVU1ANJ7
S Note 4.0
Screen write 1.0
SPenKeeper 1.0.79814.158294
I made a backup of these, except SNote 4, if you need em
Impossible we need to wait for 4.4.4 or Lollipop
Hi, i am wondering if you can give a try to port the Mont blanc app from the note 4 to note 2014. I tried to install it, but it is not working.
I think it will be very nice pen style for the s note...
Hi. I'm also looking for new app. However in fact the only thing I need is to stick notes from Action Memo on my desktop. New (Note 4) edition has pin icon, which allows to create those widgets. If you know any other option to gain this functionality - let me know.
so i got some info back from a Developer and pretty much it has to be baked into a ROM. its NOT as easy as flashing the apks and working, the Sys UI has to be modified/adapated to integrate the new Snote/aircommand. I believe this is also the case for the Monte Blanc features in Snote.
Just curious which rom is everyone running? maybe we can ask the dev to take a look at it and donate to him for getting it done.

I was looking for the newer spen drawer functionality more than the actual SNote. Thanks thou
Hi have you had any luck? I'm on the note 3 and haven 2 10.1's, a 2014 10.1, 2 samsung notebooks and a samsung win 7 tablet- I dont see an updated version available for windows, just the same as the note 3.
Not really. Kinda gave up looking. I contacted a dev and he said he would look into it..... But he said not to hold my breath. Ita tied into the 4.4.4 firmware and our devices would need a rom based on those. Is it possible, yes... But its gonna take work and know how. I for one dont have the know how.
I am on 4.4.4, if I have the app, I can give it a try

Did you download it first to install (not install directly from link) and have install unkown sources checked...newer version must be removed first...also I have debugging checked (maybe that makes a difference).
Yeah didnt uninstall newer version. Apk downloaded for when I see the missing features. Thanks.

Slightly off topic, I'm waiting for my pre-ordered note 7 to arrive here in the UK still got a week or so to wait How come Samsung removed action memo?

I think they are trying to slim software size for the new features on the 7...so they gut out apps they feel are unnecessary. I could be wrong though.

Samsung has responded to these criticisms. Action Memo will return in an update to Samsung Notes thatâ??ll roll out before late September.

As soon as the update comes, We can install the new version. Way to go, with the reviews and complaints to Samsung!
So the updated sketchbook comes with all the tools and brushes as the older versions except for the Note 3 version which came with some extras like the log and leaves brush tool as well as all the little people. The new update has the option to buy pro tools for 4.99 but so far I have everything working (I did not activate the free trial, I bypassed straight to the main screen). I am going to keep playing with it just to see if functionality becomes limited after trial period (just in case it activated trial anyways). Maybe the pro tools is a whole different set that aren't included in older versions. The app did force close a couple of times when I was trying to use a smudge tool over a spot that I had already smudged 4 times...
If anyone wants the 2.9.2 version that came with the Note 3 PM me and I'll send it to ya (in case you liked the leaves, logs, and peeps).

just wait a short time then go to playstore and look at your apps and you will see beta on the right... if it's available in your part of the world.. you can download
It shows, just says not compatible
They have the most recent beta on Aptoide. My phone shows not compatible for some bizarre reason but I had no trouble using the beta.
I haven't put it through all the paces yet. It converts all your Action Memos to normal notes at start up so if that bothers you for some reason don't run it. It seems to have some other enhancements with organization but still no Action Memo, tapping for note etc. I really wish we could get some feedback from Samsung about what the goal is here, why it is the arguably most popular feature is removed.
The beta notes about what is added by installing the extensions from within the app are completely inaccurate.
update: I actually think the note and folder tools are great. Some real mprovement with organization and fluidity of adding some things to notes. Just add back action memos!
From the endgadget video you can see the samsung notes is still there...
But I wonder if there has been any tip if it has been improved or if it has recovered some features from the s-note app.
Maybe they will say something else during the the note 9 presentation.
i'm wondering this too. in the app drawer for the Tab S4, i saw Samsung Notes, but who knows what they've done with it. call me old fashioned, but the S-Note app on my now dead 10.1 2014 was already pretty much perfect for what i needed.
also seems like Sammy is really flogging the Book Keyboard + DEX experience, so that makes me wonder if they are hyping typed notes apps, especially since MS Word is pre-installed?
hope i'm wrong.
Actually didn't think MS Word was pre-installed as I thought for devices under 10" it was free, but anything over there had to be a license to run it. MS said this a while back maybe something has changed.
Anyways when typing something I can see them pushing the Keyboard aspect more since the keyboard can take up a good chunk of the screen. I'd be curious if you can still do note taking by just writing it on the screen with the Pen. Also saying that curious if the pen is similar or the same to the one that is coming with the Note 9? Doubt it, but it would be nice to have that function.

The samsung notes app is still there and you can install s-note app from the play store (whose last update is around last year note 8 release), which is still one of the best options for note taking (both in android and ios). However, samsung seems more focused in selling a stylus which can do tricks than in improving (or at least maintaining the original quality) the note taking process.

This guy gets it
Well actually, if you go to user reviews for the samsung notes and s-note apps you read always the same: "Bring back the old functionality".
Apparently, S-note app is not compatible with the tab S4. I tried to install it from the PC play store and says it is not compatible with the tab s4 but it is with my note 8. Such a shame, I really miss the one on my note 10.1 2014 too.
I successfully installed S Note. I downloaded the apk here:

If you go into the Samsung Store, you will find the majority of updates for the Samsung Notes app there. For some strange reason, Samsung doesn't post the updates for the Samsung Notes app on Google Play.
I sideloaded Samsung Notes 3.0 that you can get from APKmirror.
New design and a few new features.

Use my apk mirror link to get 3.0.
Hey folks,
I happen to have an old unlocked, unrooted, AT&T Carrier branded Note 5. This was, as far as I'm aware, the last version of the Galaxy and Note devices that supported the Dual Camera mode (still can download the apk from apkmirror) which allowed you to use both the front and back camera simultaneously (side-by-side, pip, etc). The Note 5's camera app was the only one to recognize the dual camera mode in its UI and allow you to select it for use.
I'd ABSOLUTELY LOVE to somehow get this system camera app ported for use as a user-installable camera app, which will allow me to use the Dual Camera mode.
Any ideas? Possible? If someone can point me in the right direction, I'd be forever grateful.
Thank you!
I dont think it is possible, very different camera, well, way different things in all regards
It should be possible with the right software.
Try 3rd party apks on Playstore, try Galaxy Store or this*:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd/dual-camera/dual-camera-3-006-release/
*Scan it first with Virus Total before installing.

Keep looking. You could try contacting Samsung but their tech support sucks. Never know though.
US Samsung gives the best support and oddly SK the worst.
