So I decided I'm gonna go nuts trying every drawing app on the Flyer and see which ones work best. If anybody finds a good one post here. I'll do the same

hi!
I'm thinking about getting a flyer for drawing aswell, have you found any good drawing packages that use the stylus?
Unfortunately I don't believe there are any drawing apps (or any apps of any kind) other than the installed notes application that work with the stylus. The yet unreleased Honeycomb OS update may bring additional stylus integration, don;t know.

I believe this to be true as well. There are no apps that I can find that use the pen natively.
There are two apps in the market if you search "HTC scribe" that will come up though. What they do is produce a full screen image, e.g. lined paper, textured surface, colored background. Clicking on the pen menu button with the pen takes a screenshot of the background which then allows you to use the built-in pen functionality to mark on that background you set up.

Yes just as they said. But you can make your own drawing app. Tell you how. Take a picture of a white piece of paper. Pull it up in your gallery. Take a screenshot with your scribe pen and draw all over it....lol.
LOL I should have clarified. I am on honeycomb. The sketchbook mobile app (I think that's the right one) works great except no pressure sensitivity. You can compenstate by adjusting opacity

Yeah I thought you meant HTC specific apps.
SBM (sketchbook mobile) is about the best that I have seen, but I hate the user interface. Most others are really toys for kids.
Fresco Pro, which i have not tried, has gotten some good reviews.
In fact I see the developer of Fresco Pro was attempting to make it HTC Pen compatible ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1209099&page=6) but apparently has given up with lack of help from HTC............
Quill app for lenova tablets works with pressure sensitivity! But has sizing issues

Quill app is pressure sensitive using the HTC stylus or fingers?
Stylus! It works with the fountian pen! I emailed the dev of the app and he already responded. Hopefully it becomes fully functional for us

Anybody using the tablet version of swiftkey? if so, how do you like it?
Pretty much the same as Swiftkey X for phones, which is both good and bad. The good: the predictive text is still very good. The bad: in portrait mode, the use of the screen real estate could definitely be better. The key layout is definitely small in relation to the tab and so is not very efficient in using the lower part of the tablet in my opinion.
I'd still recommend, and the developers seem ok in putting out updates and improvements, so hopefully the implementation will continue to improve.
I use swype and smartkeyboard pro on my phone. A friend was telling me about swiftkey and I saw they have a tablet version. Right now I am using swype. If we ever get the flyer/view permenantly rooted I want to remove swype so I can try the new beta for tablets. I guess I will skip the swiftkey and stay with swype and the stock keyboard for now.
I have it for both my evo 3d and flyer.. I like it on my evo 3d coz it sizes up better. On the flyer it seems a little too small. I prefer and recommend thumb keyboard over this. Hth

I recommend smart keyboard pro for portrait typing. It has very good layout and free from bug for fast typing job. Right now, there are still many juga from swiftkey X, especially uncontrolled type "." problem even the feature has been disabled from the setting.

Hi.
I have the SwiftKey X on the Flyer, and have been disappointed. The word prediction is very good, but that is where the excitement ended. The keys are too small (for me) , and I keep hitting the space bar when I try to hit the lowest row of letters. There is no easy way to switch between two languages; the arrows can not be activated; and center numeric pad is missing in landscape mode. The "*" sign is missing from the numeric panel, so if you do a lot of number/ formula entry (in spreadsheets) it gets frustrating. I use the notes a lot, and here the keyboard does not work at all (keeps overwriting the same letter).
I think this keyboard has great potential, and people doing a lot of typing should be able to type faster than with the stock keyboard. For me however it feels half-baked, and more frustrating than fun.
I am using swiftkey on my nexus s and there it is by far the best Keyboard. I purchased it for the flyer as well and was disappointed, too. As said before, the screen could be used a lot better in Portrait. I switched back to the original Keyboard.

Have, it was ok but I'd rather have the arrow keys. I'm using harkers keyboard on my transformer right now.
Another vote for thumb keyboard. I have both and, while the predictive functioning of Swiftkey is better, the superior layout and ability to customize size of Thumb Keyboard makes for an easier typing experience overall.

I too, have both, and agree with what you've said.
I was not able to use Swiftkey X Tablet on my Flyer under Honeycomb in Landscape, since what I was writing was not visible (same with Swype).
This is now solved since the 2.1.0.223 version, as I just discovered. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.touchtype.swiftkey.tablet.trial

I know this thread is old but I wanted to share about the languages, the reason I use swift is because I don't need to switch languages. It is great at figuring out what I mean from whatever language I am using, I have it setup for spanish and english and it's seamless in that I don't need to worry about it.
This is MUCH better than having to press a button and manually switching languages.
I find Swiftkey X Tablet to be wonderful on the Flyer and you can resize the keyboard to your desires in the settings. I only wish they would put the arrow keys htat are in the phone version back into the tablet version
SwiftKey is all I'll use (til something better comes out... Lol) I can't afford to buy both versions, so I use the phone version on my tab & phone, and it works great!
I "borrowed" the Tab version from a friend, and got kinda frustrated by it entering words for me after entering a period, then hitting space twice (proper punctuation).

That can be adjusted in the settings for Swiftkey X, under Advanced.

Now I am just using magic pen to move my cursor
Im using swift on my samsung captivate but looking at the youtube video of thumb in action on the tablet I may have to use that on my flyer when it arrives.
looks pretty snazzy
I have been looking and I am trying for find a free hand drawing app(something similar to the Windows Paint program) for the View. I wanted to find one that will allow you to use the scribe pen for drawing. Any suggestions?
I have been using Sketchbook Pro on Honeycomb. It's awesome. It does not support the native scribe interface, but it supports using the pen and is pressure sensitive. But it has their own brush / color / etc management (which to me seems more robust than what HTC provided)
Try jet draw for a really simple drawing app.
Tanx
But any body that tried jetdrow?
I have seen the ads of Samsung Note and the stylus options seem really good-like being able to.select out only a part of.the page etc and adding it to notes. Unfortunately have.not used it myself to know..does any one know if it is possible to tweak our htc Jetstream's scribe pen so as to add in such functionality. As of now, we can take a screen shot and add sticky notes to them/highlight etc. We can not select a particular part of the screen shot only. Any ideas anyone?

Hey guys,
Are there any good modded keyboards out there for the Rezounds high resolution screen that can be made a little taller?
I've tried a ton of keyboards and most are too small on the Rezound's screen - Swype is too small, TouchPal doesn't even fill up the width of the screen, FlexT9 is too small, the HTC IME mod I loved on my DINC is super tiny.
I like the HTC Trace keyboard but it seems a tad laggy compared to the HTC IME i used on my DINC.
SwiftKeyX can be enlarged to a perfect height, but also seems a bit laggy to me (and I hate the 4 available themes).
UltraKeyboard has lots of great custom tweaks and can be made the tallest of any of the others, but the typing and swiping accuracy isn't the best.
Ideally, I'd love to see modded version of the HTC Trace keyboard that can be modded like the HTC IME - it was super fast/responsive and had lots of custom tweaks (long press duration, swipe left to delete last word, etc).
I like the combo of type and swipe, but none seem very good in the market.
Anything out there that's really good for the Rezound you can recommend?

Tried Go Keyboard too. A little on the small side and didn't keep up with fast typing.
The one i just installed that I like best right now is Smart Keyboard Pro. It keeps up better than the stock one for fast typing and has LOTS of custom themes and settings.
This one below with the red accents matches the Rezound pretty well...

Go Keyboard was ok, not great for me. I had the Go Keyboard on the top setting for height (5 i believe) and it's at least 1/2 inches shorter than the Smart Keyboard Pro setting I have which i like a lot better. The keys themselves seemed smaller too compared to the stock keyboard.
I like to type fast and the haptic feedback on some of these keyboards doesn't keep up well and throws me off. Smart Keyboard definitely is a tad faster than these others with the haptic (which i have to have on) and has been very accurate too, which is the other issue i had with some of these other keyboards.
Is the word prediction on Smart Pro as good as SwiftKey X? It will even predict well known names--amazing. I probably only have to type 60-70% of the time and I guess coming from my Dinc, this keyboard seems much larger.
Guess I'll take a peek at Smart Pro
Smart KB Pro is by far my favorite KB at this point and I've tried them all.
SwiftkeyX has a little better prediction for sure but I still don't really like it at all.
You guys using smart keyboard, how do you get your skins to show up again? For me, it doesn't show up on sdcard2, nor the internal sdcard. I gave up on using it because I don't really like those stock skins it comes with

You need to manually add a folder to the internal sdcard (wouldn't recognize on the external sd card (so dont put it in sdcard 2) and name it 'skins' . Then put the zip files for the themes you've downloaded into it.
Now, when you go to general settings the preview of your downloaded themes will show up too...
There's a ton of themes to choose from in their forum's

WOW, that skin is awesome -I just installed it.
Thanks for posting that.
Anyone having trouble getting the skins to show for Smart Keyboard Pro? I just tried installing this skin using the folder steps, but even though it shows a preview in the settings menu, it never shows it outside of the settings. None of the other skins will work either, even the ones that come with the app.
Anyone have any ideas? I have already tried rebooting and reinstalling the app
Make sure the skins folder is on the INTERNAL memory, not your card.
Ur problem is that u use haptic feedback. Such a terrible idea. Shut that off and ur typing will be smooth

If you're on Honeycomb try Quill. Also there is the Sketchbook app (from AutoCad, I think) but you can use pro with Honeycomb.

Quill is definitely the way to go if you wanna take hand-written notes. Much better then the stock app. The writing is really natural =)
I just got my Scribe a few days ago and am looking for some good apps too. Sketchbook Pro is really good. I haven't tried Quill though. I wonder what else is out there
just used sketchbook and it rocks. is quill worth the dollar? lol. i like the built in pen menu on htc notes app... does quill allow you to use that too?

Once you're on Honeycomb, all apps support the Scribe. That's aprt of the reason Honeycomb rocks on the Flyer.
That said, here are a couple that benefit from the scribe:
Fresco - a painting program with pressure sensitivity
Drawing Pad - a simple drawing program for children
Citrix Receiver - a front-end for Citrix based virtual machines and applications. When connecting to a Windows 7 VM it's nice to have the stylus' fine selection point.
Quill is worth the dollar. I have been jumping back and forth between the stock app and quill to take notes and it's night and day for me. Quill seems more accurate and has more options.
I also heard there was a game "what the doodle" that worked well with the flyer/pen but I haven't tried that.
I do a lot of note-taking and idea-sketching for work. Quill is definitely worth $1. I have tried it and its pretty nice. But, found one that I actually like better, WritePad Stylus. (You can search for it in the Market.)
Quill, Writepad Stylus, Lecture Notes are all very good for note-taking. To quickly jot stuff down, I like Whiteboard Pro (was free on Amazon the other day). Foxit is my favorite for pdf annotations. I wish someone could port MyScript Stylus (universal stylus input) from the Lenovo app store. That would be a killer app!
howcome nobody liked the stock htc app for quick note taking? i think it's cool that it's evernote. for example, when I was in sketchpad and i hit the pen green button, it didn't bring up pen settings.. only, take a screen shot, notes, etc. that's what I mean. In quill or something, when I hit that, will my diff choices of pens, colors, sizes etc come up?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
getting writepad now..some people say it's better than quill on the reviews
ugh, here's why i don't like it though. you can't hit the green pen button to bring up different choices of pens.
and it just crashed my flyer lol

trying quil.. btw, apparnetly quill is on sale, only 49 cents.
I'm pretty sure the only app that will use the green button to select pen styles is the built in HTC app.
All the 3rd party apps use their own pen selection methods

i'm liking quill a lot, and for 49 cents, that's a deal
Check out trace too. It lets you load an image then trace it then remove the image

If you could suppress the keyboard I'd have no issues with the stock app. I like it better than Quill in terms of its support of the erase button on our pens and the fact that, since it's not vector based, you can erase in a more natural way (Quill forces you to erase entire lines).
However, every time I use the built-in notes app, the keyboard pops up almost as soon as I start writing. It only seems to enable palm rejection after you've started writing with the pen.

MyScript has already been ported. Check it out here. It's my favourite note taking app at the moment, but not for drawing (didn't even try it in that way). The only think I dislike is that it only let's you export one page of your notes at a time (at least in handwritten notes). Enjoy!
