I really like the new updated S Note, but the fountain and ballpoint pen strokes have a to thick minimal width...
Does anyone know if any of the S Note apps from other lollipop devices have a narrower stroke width?
If so, can you tell me where I can download the app port from that device?
Thank you

Didn't fully understand the question.
Thickness of pen in snote is controlled from the pen options. The minimal width is zero.
If you are looking to control thickness for the keyboard, download Note 4 Hidden Settings from play store.
The minimal width is 20(for the fountain pen).
It's not to thick, however the ink is to sensitive for pressure input and when i attempt to write, the writing is just to fat and it forces me to write bigger.

I'm looking for an app to write with a capacitive stylus that makes the bottom of the screen inactive so you can rest your hand on the screen to write. Hopefully it will have the ability to create themes for backgrounds from other sources or your own design.
I found one (but no bg themes) awhile back but can't find it again and don't remember the name. Any assistance would be appriciated.

A customer likes 7notes on iPad, he persuaded me to try it on Android (7notes with mazec in play store)
I don't get on with it at all, plus the "rubber tip" capacitive stylus seems to drag too much on my N7 screen, the type with a wire mesh seem better, depends on what the N4 screen is like ... horses for courses.

Since day 1 I've noticed that the S Note is kind of poor at sensing different pressure levels. I downloaded the Moleskine Journal app yesterday and tried drawing some lines on it and thought it reacted much better to the S Pen as shown on the screenshots attached. I started with low pressure on the left and ended with pushing down hard on the right. In both apps, I selected the pen.
Is it the same for everyone else or am I doing something wrong? The only way I can get thin lines in S Note is to draw it out really quickly, which seems rather odd to me.
I meant to post this in the GT-N7100, N7105 forum. Could a mod please move it?
I suspect it doesn't have as many levels as a real wacom pad but Pressure can control size, opacity or both depending on the application. Different app s are also scaled differently. Download sketchbook and you will see how you can set the range for opacity and size in the app. You will want to set a narrow and small range for making thin lines... if your brush varies by 100 pixels then it will only be the lightest pressure that makes a thin line and it will be hard to achieve. It would be great if one could specify curves in sketchbook instead of the linear scheme they have ... or if there was some external utility to calibrate pressure.

Wonder what happened to mine then.

I was just having a play with different apps that recognise the s pen and found quill, a paid app, which givesa huge variation in the pen size depending on the pressure.
Yeah, it seems S-Note has only 2 or 3 pressure levels, not more, and just makes it thinner if moving fast and finishing a line, not even related to the pressure but just the "draw-fast-then-move-the-pen-away"
I just find it odd that the Moleskine app behaves differently than S Note.
Could it be because of my cheap Chinese screen protector I got from eBay?
I have read good things from different persons about the WACOM ET-S200EBEGSTD s-pen also called full size s-pen with eraser and i am considering getting one soon and i have a question to all the people here that bought it and tried it for a significant time :
Does it have more accuracy than the included one ?
I use the tablet for taking notes in university all the time and the slate s-pen is pretty comfortable but the handwriting is not very accurate when writing with very small pen sizes (the most lower size on s-note for example) and i don't know if it is a pen accuracy issue or a software/built in digitizer one
Can anyone try his full size pen with the original one with a very low pen size on s-note and tell if there is any difference ? Does the 8PI (per inch maybe ) on the one with eraser vs 6PI on the original one stand for something notable ?
Thank you.
i havent noticed any difference in accuracy between the two, i just find the thicker pen to be more comfortable to use.
I noticed a large improvement in handwriting recognition accuracy when i upgraded to the JB ROM though, if you havent done that already.
Thank you poid for your reply. I am not interested at all in handwriting recognition i just want to write using the pen and to have my handwriting close to what i get using a real pen and paper and for that reason i am interested in a pen with more accuracy witch i suspect that the full size pen with eraser can provide.
So I've had the Note 3 now for about a week and have yet to take the S-Pen out. Not sure why I haven't but what's the point? Is there like a Top 5 or 10 list of uses of the S Pen around somewhere? Or could someone give me a killer use of it that they use? I don't play many games, but would love to have it be a productivity thing if possible.
Thanks!
Action memo, Scrapbooker, Screen write are 3 great uses For the S-Pen.

Don't have my Note 3 yet but my main S-Pen uses on my Note 1 are:
- Drawing and writing notes in Memo
- Using it as a mouse for remote desktop and VNC
- Hovering over popup menus on web pages without clicking them
- Draw Something
Otherwise I don't really use it, but knowing it's there is nice and I use it enough to not want to lose it on a new device, so I'm sticking with the Note line of devices, at least until some real competition happens.

Bloon TD games. Very precise. Though I have a smartphone, I hate fingerprints on my screen so I use my S-Pen a lot instead of my finger.
I find S pen is super usefull when it is used as writing in asian language such as vietnamese, chinese...etc...

I use it for everything. It keeps fingerprints off the screen. And it's really useful for tapping small buttons on web-pages.

I have never used a graphics tablet before but I have been wanting to experiment with one for quite some time. My needs are driven by photography, and my primary use would be with the adjustment brush in Lightroom. I am also a Photoshop user and use with that product with retouching and layering/masking tools would be a secondary use. Wacom tablets, even the intuos line, are not inexpensive and their prices have deterred me from taking the plunge. I ran across some favorable anecdotal reviews of XP-Pen DECO 02 graphics tablets recently. The XP-Pen tablets range in price from $30 to $100 with a roughly A5-sized tablet priced at $40. At that price point, the buying decision became a lot easier. I received this tablet last evening: xp-pen.com/goods/show/id/324.html .
Technical data : (10″ x 5.63″ , 5080 LPI, 266 RPS, 8192 Levels.)
The tablet is manufactured by XP-Pen and newer drivers than what were packaged with the product are available for download from their web site. Installation was simple, just install the drivers, plug the tablet into a USB port, The installation routine adds the pen driver to the login items for the current account. The configuration utility is not added as a preference pane but rather as a separate application accessed from the /Applications/PenTabletSetting folder. It permits the configuration of the pen buttons, the pen area on the tablet, hot cells that appear as a row across the top of the pen area, and pressure sensitivity.
I am still learning how to use a tablet. Using it to draw masks with the adjustment brush is much more intuitive than using a mouse and the control is better. I am still getting a feel for using it to manipulate the many sliders in LR's develop panel and it is definitely different than using a mouse. Lifting the pen away from the tablet seems to be the most effective way to disengage the pen from the control that currently has focus. It is different from what I am used to and will require some learning on my part.
I quickly tried it in Photoshop using it to do something simple like signing my name. The brush width was sensitive to pressure, so that aspect of the driver works. Again, with experience I am sure my skills will improve.
The equivalent Wacom tablet is the Intuos Pro M. The Wacom's pen area is a bit smaller that the XP-Pen tablet: 8.7"x5.8" compared with 10" x 5.63". The Wacom pad comes with some bundled software while the XP-Pen DECO 02 graphics pad does not, but the software bundled with the Wacom is not compelling to me. Especially when you factor in the price difference: $349 for the Wacom tablet versus $90 for the XP-Pen DECO 02 tablet from their offical website store .
