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

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!

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

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.
Hey eveyone. I am a dreadful drawer and would love to improve. This tablet is very pen orientated so I thought I shoukd ask if anyone knows of any good drawing apps? Thanks!

Autodesk sketchbook pro for galaxy note - think the tablet comes with a link to download/install it directly for free
Yep, comes with it. Doesn't say pro in the title, but it's all the same features slightly rearranged. It's good. If you open up the apps screen, then click on "Galaxy", it should pop up a couple different apps. Almost all of them are just links to install. Sketchbook for Galaxy is what you are after. Click it, install it, and have fun!
Just to let you guys know, ezPDF has a new update which allows you to scroll and zoom when free-hand writing!
So it behaves just like lecturenotes and Snote now (albeit slightly laggy, which i hope kitkat will help with),
still not a perfect tool, but its a step in the right direction ~
But it won't work when using the Spen, only for the basic type of free-hand writing (the one that doesn't have an eraser)...
I noticed the latest update has significantly faster page turning and loading.
I'm now very impressed with the app, and tablet for reading magazines and books.

can you flip the page with your finger when you are highlighting or writing with the s-pen (on galaxy note 10.1 2014)?

Any ideas about this?
I use an app called Repligo Reader, pretty solid at editing PDFs and its S-Pen friendly.
I would try eZPDF reader, but the lag really pissed me off.
