Use S-Pen in unsupported apps/games? - Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers

I recently bought a note 10+ and was surprised to find out that the S-Pen doesn't work in some apps.
After some googling, I found out that apparently app devs need to individually add support for the S-Pen to their apps for it to work, and that the pen touching the screen is a different 'input' to using a finger.
What I couldn't find out was if there is any workaround for this.
Is there any way to force the S-Pen to work in apps that don't support it?

Sadly no.
If there is any solution, I haven't found it, and would still be interested in hearing one as well.

[ROOT] How to semi-autoswitch keyboards to write with S Pen

If you're like me and you use a different keyboard (like 4.2) but want to also use Samsung's S Pen to write words then you know that sometimes it can feel tedious to manually switch between keyboards.
Well there's a way to semi-automatically switch, and the best way I've found was to use the Keyboard Manager app.
I found this method as an app request in the i7100 forums
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1925772&page=4
Now if there really was a way to fully implement an auto switch when I take out my S Pen then that would be great, but for the mean time I share this.
Curious.
Cant that be done by tasker?

If there was a way I wish I'd know already, I think it should be possible but I don't know how or where to begin to get the task done.

[Q] Force S-Pen use only

Does anyone know if there are any apps or the like out there that can force use of the S-Pen only on the screen?
Something that is set up so that you can only interact with the device using the stylus and not your hands.

Air Command in AOSP

Hey guys! I recently ordered a P600, and have been looking for a Nougat rom that has full S-Pen support, with Air Command specifically. Sadly, in all the third party ports they simply have the button floating on the screen, not appearing when you click the button on the S-Pen. Is there another app that works like this, or is somebody working on porting the tab S3 rom? Thanks in advance

I'm going to just go assume you'd need root to change the audio files that are most likely located in the system partition.
Do you have the Exynos or Snapdragon variant?
Tried to on the 10+, no joy.
Be nice if there be a Good Lock apk to do this...
It's a new phone.... you're not gonna find a way this soon in the game to do it without some other app. Do they even have root yet for it? Cause those folders you need root to view.

I try not to sideload. Not sure why it was dropped from Playstore.
They are apparently going to be releasing a Good Lock app for Spen customization. May include sound changes if you want something more "official"

The Pentastic app available through the GoodLock app. Allows multiple customization to the S-Pen.

Yea, that was the app I was referring to. Seems decent, just gotta find some good pointers and sounds.
The good thing about Pentastic is you can install it as a standalone, good lock is not required. Pentastic is pretty good fun to use, well worth a try, just to try out new pen removal and insert noises is worth it.
Those looking to add lightsaber sounds to spen, download the lightsaber notification sounds from the zedge and use timbre app to reduce the volume of those files by 50% since they are very loud. 50% less is perfect balance.
I didn't get it on the playstore.. you can down load the apk from other sources.

Everyone is Talking about Good Lock.
What My Original Post was referring to was for being able to change the S-Pen Sounds without having to Install ANY other Apps that eat up Space and Resources.
I wish that by going through the System Files somewhere in Android that the S-Pen Sound Files Can be Found and Replaced for Both taking Out the S-Pen and Inserting the S-Pen.
Hopefully the Sounds are in an MP3 Format and can be Swapped without Any Problems and would stay even after Updates.
