got my new scribe today, and i love it..besides the built in stuff, what other apps utilize the pen?
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?

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
gothca.
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!

same problem here. my kb always pops up. so annoying.

Hmm, that is Notesmobile and FlexT9, not MyScript Stylus.
Thank you anyway.

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

So I came from the Motorola Atrix, and I have to admit, the Multi Touch Keyboard on that was great. What keyboards are you using? The Android Keyboard seems too small and the Samsung Keyboard has no setting to stop vibrating.
Any way to port the Multi Touch Keyboard from Motorola devices?

I use Thumb Keyboard. I think it was mainly designed for tablets but you can customize it like crazy from font size to height. Use it for my SG2 and Xoom tablet. Best one in my opinion.

Tried SwiftKey X, which I like. Moved to A.I. type Keyboard. (<3 the Windows 8 Keyboard).

I really like this one. I was able to customize it pretty close to what the Mutli Touch Keyboard was like on the Motorola Atrix. I changed the height of the keys to 115% and it has been working pretty well for me. Not a lot of typos anymore. Thanks!
Using swype. Tried it a while ago on my xoom and hated it but since it came preinstalled on this I gave it another shot and have fallen in love!
Created a thread a short time back and myself along with many others seem to really like Smart Keyboard Pro. I was having a really tough time with keyboard accuracy and this program has a calibration tool to tweak it. Worked out great as I was on the verge of returning the phone...

I've tried a bunch of keyboards and this one is by far my favorite.
Just tried out Smart Keyboard (trial for now) and like it. I'm coming from a BlackBerry and am used to holding down a button for a capital letter... is there any Android keyboard that would allow a long press for caps?
AI Type is by far the best tap-style on the market.
Try Go keyboard, lots of setting, themes, swipe and in HD quality.

Just to let you guys know, the more recent version of ezpdf now has palm rejection for HTC Scribe. As far as I'm concerned, the only major thing you give up using ezpdf over the PDF Viewer is the eraser function.
However, ezpdf has much better capabilities to do variable pen widths, to resize and move annotations. Combine this with the general superiority of other functions (for example, ezpdf has a strong bookmarking feature plus has the ability to remember where you last read-to), and I'm pretty much set to move over completely to ezpdf when using the Flyer.
Thanks for this!
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2 Beta-5
Wow now scribe editing with ezpdf is really smooth. And it works fullscreen with a hidden hc bar.
I only wish it wouldn't auto save after every annotation. Pdf viewing is only a tad slower than repligo , but their pen support is terrible.
Someone know an app which let me easly write in it (with keyboard) or draw (with stylus or finger)?
Im looking for app more like kingsoft office or polaris than any drawing apps like skitch or sketchbook.
Only working apps i found are skitch and supernote, but in skitch i need to click icon everytime i want to wrote or draw sth and in supernote after making picture, it is fitted to the line.
For me the best would be app where i could draw table and than write inside it. Or sth close to it

Try lectureNotes or Papyrus. Med papyrus vet jag att du kan köpa till text möjligheter.
I tried both but lecture doesnt allow me to use keyboard (physical or touch). In papyrus i need too purchase addon pack for text feature, but i prefer to try first (even illegaly) than if it is what i need i buy it, but without a try it can be waste of money.
However thanks.
Someone knows other apps?

Try FreeNote it's amazing it allows drawing, handwriting, and using the keyboard
Is it just me, or is there a pretty significant delay while using the s-pen on Papyrus? What can I do to fix this?
Also, what applications are good for note taking in class and have palm rejection or compatible with the s pen? I would prefer if I could write everything on a single page and scrolling instead of making a new page like i have to do in s note. I have been using Handwrite but it starts to lag after a while of writing. I would be using Papyrus if not for the delay.
Edit: Thanks for the suggestions. I just tried lecture notes and it's pretty good. I still really like how my notes look in Handrite though. Are there any other apps similar to it?

Lecture notes, at first start up you need to go into settings and enable things like palm rejection and pressure sensitivity. Once tweaked, lecturenotes is fantastic
