New S-note app - Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps

any idea what the s-note app will be like on the note 10.1 2014 edition, especially syncing with dropbox, importing pdf's and formats it can be saved as?

The new snote features looks really awesome! Definitely a buy for school! Can't wait

I'm also interested in this. I use dropsync and import and export a lot of PDFs. I'm assuming you'll be able to do this at the very least. I'm also stoked that you can open multiple instances of the same app. Now I'll be able to work in two notes at once.
The new S-Pen features seem pretty promising as well. I'm interested to see how customizable the air commands are (if they are at all).

Lecturenotes supports those active pen and does all the pdf import export etc. So even if the snote sucks youve still got a damn good alternative. I did read that the s pen air commands ARE customizable,so thats a plus.

That's true. I've heard good things about Lecturenotes, but since I've become so used to S notes and since lecturenotes is a paid app I'm hoping S notes will be as good as it is now on the old 10.1 model.

Lecturenotes is the most vesatile note app ive used. Different page types and styles, pdf imports, typing, drawing, shapes, layers evernote exporting. Couldnt be happier which i heard about it a year beore i did. Snote + lecturenotes and you couldnt possibly go wrong on the GN 10.1 too many options.

Try S-pen voice. Theres a free trail that limits you to 10 pages. But its a very simple program that records while you write and lets you play it back. You can see as you write the notes when its playing back or just tap somewhere and it will start the audio from there. Its great!

Scrybe doesnt seem very "ready"

I like the Idea of HTC Scrybe very very much, not last because of the much rumored Microsoft Courier.
So far I've only seen it taking screenshots and editing these with the pen, which is of course the first step.
But I'm thinking of live pdf editing and stuff like that. I want to open the Script for my lecture and add notes to it with the pen, or take a photo of the blackboard and insert it into the pdf, you know things like that.
Will these things be possible with HTC Scrybe? I think only taking screenshots and editing these is a bit uncreative and not realy productive and/or helpful
I've had the same concerns, but if you look on youtube and search video, you will see ones where someone actually writes something in the notes application, which sync automatically with Evernote. The writing seem to work quite well (i.e. small enough to actually write words and sentences on the 7" screen), although I am quite interested to see a live demo.
You can also find videos where people edit documents with the pen, including scribbling in books, PDFs, etc. Not sure whether or not these are saved as pictures - seems to be the only way (?), and then forward these as email, and so on...
It's a shame the only release dates I can seem to find point to an early May release...

If you setup your lectures in your calendar as recurring appointments, you can scribble notes in the calendar entry and at the 'next' lecture, you can pick up where you left off. This would effectively build one long note for each subject. This is one of the many killer features which are difficult to appreciate until you use it.

Hmm... that's too bad. HTC's site show's this as a function of Scribe... maybe its a different app shown in the intro video. It starts with the user typing noteson a blank page, then taking a picture and adding to the notes, then handwritten annotations with the pen, then recording sound, and playing back the sound via the notes...
In any case, I still find myself preferring pen and paper to my iPad during meetings eventhough the convenience of electronic notes with sound is a powerful tool. We'll see if the magic pen or smaller form-factor of the Flyer solidifies the change.
I think the notes app can do everything you need including the taking of hand written notes, typed notes, sound, pictures etc all in one note.
You can also edit PDF documents with annotations etc and save those back into the PDF in 2 different ways. I have no idea yet if you can do any more advanced PDF editing such as changing the flow of a document with an image.

Yes, after reading a few more reviews, it sounds like the Notes application can do the notes and sound sync... though there may be a problem with the granularity of the notes and sound sync.
Definitely looking forward to getting a small-form factor, full-featured Android tablet.

htc's custom app can sync audio and pen. there are no OTHER apps that do that, meaning that unless someone extracts htc app, we can't do that on other tablets.

That makes sense. Not enough real estate on a phone to take notes. With the stylus concept, HTC definitely needs good apps which utilize the ped. The Notes app actually sounds like Soundnotes, which I use on the iPad. Definitely has the same quirks (per a recent review), and definitely not like the livescribe pen.
Hopefully we get a few more options as android tabs become more popular. I desperately want to go all electronic with my workflow, but can't seem to get away from paper for notetaking... I do scan those in for archival purposes. ;-)

[Q] Note Taking on Touchpad?

Now that I'm assured I'm getting a touchpad, the burning question remains; is there some type of note taking app I can use, or am I forced to use the on screen keyboard, or a bluetooth keyboard to type notes during class?
This is exactly what I was wondering!

[Q] Best apps for a college student?

So i want to make this pretty straight forward, I'm in college, I like to read my books on my tablet, I like to do all sorts of work on my tablet and until now I was a iLoser carrying around an iPad 2 which I had plenty of apps that I became accustomed too. That said, I now rock the Prime and the Galaxy SII skyrocket. I love android much more than crApple's ios. Can I get any student/professor/anybody that uses their fancy new hardware for work and the occasionally play to give me some great apps tips for the tablet? (first thing I downloaded was Evernote!)? Thanks a bunch! Perhaps if we get a bunch of suggestions we can make a section in the app's section for "school" or maybe "productivity" I also want to add that while I don't have the dock (yet) I will be purchasing one when I see it in stores. (whenever that is!)
*if everyone likes the idea of a productivity/school thread in the apps section I wouldn't mind making it and updating it.
(1) Android Office - The most complete office app I know. It's even got a spell checker.
(2) Ezpdf - best for hand write directly into your pdf files.
(3) Repligo - Best for opening very large pdf files. I use it to open and use regularly a pdf file that is 2000+ pages with lots of images. Renders pages instantly.
(4) Printershare - print through cloud print or through wireless.
(5) Writepad stylus - note taking app with palm rejection, meaning you can rest your hand on the screen and still be able to write. Can save your notes as pdf docs.
(6) Antipaper - Another note taking app that has palm rejection.
FYI, all of these apps were free at one point or other on amazon appstore.

I checked out both and one of the biggest problems I have with both is that I don't seem to be able to make folders to put notebooks in. I would want to have folders for each class, and then within the folder each notebook would be a lecture. Fairly surprised I cant do somethjing like that so not sure if I am missing something

Well, you could create your own folders. After you're done with a particular class, you could output the saved notes for that day as pdf and then store it in your own folder.
Or you could make several notebooks, one for each class, and then keep writing into the notebooks as if it's a paper notebook.
Added by edit.
Another idea is this. Just make blank pdf files or pdf files with lines and then use something like ezpdf or repligo to write directly into the pdf file.
Just a couple ideas.
The main idea is make due with what you have. Be creative. Don't just have a set of ideas of what you want and then get stumped when you can't do exactly what you want.
Oh yah it wouldn't be a big deal if I couldn't, just wanted to check if I was missing some way to do it.
If I can't make folders so long as I name them correctly it shouldnt be a problem since I can do a search for notebooks which should work out the same as a folder so long as my naming is good.
I should probably do the whole export and put in my own folders anyways as a just in case

Due to the nature of the lecture and slides it's best if I annotate/markup the slides themselves so Ive been using ezpdf, but I really like the ease of use and features of the stylus/handwriting, especially the zoom feature on antipaper (Ive seen this on some ipad pdf reader as well ). So are the any note taking apps that allow you to draw on pdfs, or any pdf reader/editors with more robust annotation/markup tools?

You can zoom in on your pdf in ezpdf (double tap, or two finger.... opposite of pinch) and do your annotations like that if you need to get closer for your notes.
And when you are zoomed in and have free hand annotations selected, you can use 2 fingers to scroll around even while still in annotation mode.
As for the repligo suggestion I personally found it not quite as nice for annotations because you have to do 3 taps just to start an annotation. Once to bring up menu's, once to select the menu, then again to select "draw freehand", where with ezpdf its just one click on the top bar and your going.

[Q] Questions about S-Note

1. Can I set the background to a default image?
2. Can I create and customize a set or "profile" for the different writing tips and colors? For example, if I like using a blue colored grid for working math problems, but a plan notebook paper background for literature (or something) could I create 2 sets or profiles to choose from so that it loads all my presets in the order I set up?
More to come as they come to me...
Thanks in advance.
3. can someone confirm that you can open two instances of snote to view to different notes at the same time?

1. Yes ... You can set the background as a default image
2. Yes ... You can have a blue bread for math problems if you like and yes you can have notebook paper for general text if you prefer both within the same notebook but different pages if you like. If that makes sense?
3. No... I think I answer this question for you yesterday but if not here's your answer again. No you cannot have two instances of s note opened at the same time. You can however have an instance of s note and lecture notes if you so prefer. I'm sure after the developers get ahold of the code they can modify it so you can have two instances of s notes running

First off THANKS! I appreciate the info. Secondly, I'm sorry, I worded my second question incorrectly. In the first gen model you can have a preset array of writing times in whatever color you want. That way you can just click the S-pen and cycle through the list you made. But I"m finding that a certain set of colors works better for different situations so i was wondering if I could create multiple sets of writing tips so I could have a set for math with pen tips colored to show up well against the blue grid etc.
As for the last one thanks for telling me again. When I heard that I was really REALLY bummed and almost decided not to get the note. I"m hold out hope that a dev will enable multiple instances of s-note or I may switch over to lecture notes completely. with the 25 good play credits I'm thinking I may get it. I like that you can modify the dimensions of the page. Also I've heard that it's a more powerful application all together and considering what i've heard of s-note so far i'm leaning more towards lecture notes.
One last question for anyone out there who knows.. Is it possible to quickly and easily transfer my files from snote to lecture notes while maintaing the tree structure?
Quick question for those who use SNote - does the new version allow you to import files directly from Dropbox or the Gallery instead of going straight to My Files?
Has anyone figured out how to import PDF files in the new version of S Note? I used to do this all of the time in the old version but can't find out how to do it in the latest version.

Wow I didn't even try to work with S Note long enough to realize importing PDF's was (seemingly) gone. I can't figure out how to do it and I wonder if it's at all possible anymore.

I hate the new structure of s note... it seems like you can't create folders and view multiple folders and files like you could in the old one. It's a shame too cause I had a LOT of notes in them...

I totally agree. I tried and tried to make myself like it but it's just not logically functional as what I experienced with my Note 2. Always admired the original 10.1's Snote.
Are you using the free version of Lecture Notes or the pro version? I've tried Lecture Notes and I've noticed the fluidity in that one is much more smooth which I appreciate. Just wanted to know what I would be gaining if I go the Pro version.
Pro version allows you to have more than 2 notebooks. Also, anyone know how to highlight text in lecture notes or import multiple pdfs at a time?

Microsoft OneNote seems like a good alternative to s note, papyrus, lecture notes, etc. I like the sync functionality and the ui of the app. It works well with handwriting with the s pen. The only thing that I can't find is importing PDFs to write on top of.
Anyone else try it out on your note and have any impressions?

It does not have import pdf option, at least not on tablet. Handwriting is very good, syncs with computer very quickly. On computer it also has handwriting recognition, you can search your handwritten notes.

Yea if it had import pdf or power point and handwriting search on the tablet itself it would make it perfect. But having those features on the desktop and a pretty seamless sync ability may let me overlook those omissions for now. I'll test it in my classes over the next couple of days.
It seems that one needs to have an internet connection to use it. When I launched the app, it asked me to login to hotmail account.
I have increased my use of One Note. It has issues that Lecture Notes handles well. With pen enabled, the finger still works. Screen control has issues, importing pictures and viewing are issues. Anyway, I use it for its synch functionality.

It only needs internet connection the first time you launch it to set it up with your onedrive account.

I haven't run into too many issues like that, finger doesn't draw for me when the pen is out. However, I do accidentally pull up the keyboard from putting my hand on the screen. I'm not sure how importing pictures work but I thought that functionality was built into the app.

Can you please tell me if the Samsung Note 10.1 that you installed OneNote on was rooted? I tried installing OneNote to my Note 10.1 but it gave a "Not compatible for your system" error. The Android version on my device is 4.1.2 and apparently, the earliest version that OneNote can be installed on is 4.4.2. So, I am wondering if there is not solution but to root or is there another way to update the andriod?
I loved it until I lost all my notes in the middle of a meeting one day. Of course the loss instantly sync'd with the online notes and they were lost their too. I somehow highlighted the whole page and it deleted everything when I hit the next letter. And there's NO undo button. I don't understand why there's no undo So now I use something else.
