S-apps are totally dependent on the TouchWiz framework.
There is NO WAY you can port them except maybe convert to PDF.
I found this out after a few weeks using my Note 1 3 years ago. Ever since then, I have used Handy Note Pro, and recently I discovered DioNote, which is perfect for the X1.
Although I love my Note phones very much, I advise everybody NOT to use S-note or S-memo, but use these other great apps instead.
thx

The Adonit Jot Pro or Jot Mini ( I have this) works wonderfully.
I tested many drawing/sketching/noting apps on the X1, the best is DioNote with individual stroke rendering.
DioNote does not recognize your text, but each stroke is an element which can be edited.
Papyrus, Adobe, HandyNote, etc....all the stylus recognition sucked.
Thanks a lot. Dionote looks great. It has zoom panel to write on like other iOS apps (GoodNotes, Zoomnote).
However, I still can't find an active stylus (narrow tip stylus using battery, without bluetooth connection) working well on Android. I tried Biopen which said it supports both ios and android and found that it sucks on Android, barely useable.
I intend to use it for notetaking, mainly.

The screen on the X1 is capacitive, so you won't be able to use any active stylus.
Adonit Jot/ Jot Mini has a narrow tip and very good accuracy.
The good thing is that Dionote's zoom panel registers the Jot stylus incredibly well. I was very surprised because all the other note/sketch apps can't register a long stroke properly without break, or I had to draw/write slowly.

Basically I intend to buy this as a primary note taking device for lecture for this coming semester and beyond and I have some questions.
Firstly what is the best tablet office apps that work well with the hardware keyboard? I had a play with Polaris in a shop on the original Transformer but I'm just wondering if there is better out there.
It'd be nice if there was like an automatic save every 30 seconds/minute or similar feature.
Also it'd be VERY useful if there was an app that allowed me to open two files at once. So I could, say, have an editable .doc open on one side of the screen and a .ppt on the other...
Secondly how is the physical keyboard? Like I said I played with the Transformer recently and the keyboard seemed pretty nice. A little bit small but something I could get used to/fast on.
Might add more if I think of them.
Thanks, G.
Don't have keyboard so can't speak to that but for office apps I like Google docs and smart office
smart office is a lot better and is very good sure you will like it

I nabbed the Smart Office APK in the Getjar $0 sale and it seems decent on my phone, does it have a tablet interface?
See I would love to use Google Docs but I heard it requires internet to work and due to the way my university's WiFi security is I'll only be able to use internet with apps that support proxy routing (as Android doesn't have this built in to the OS).
Yes the tablet interface is very nice I like it a lot

Is it possible to have the edit option on screen always/in easy use?
I'll be keen to change formatting to underline/bold/italics etc quite often.
Also, how quickly can one jump in and out of list options?
EDIT: also how quickly can one "tab" in an indent and then get back out of it?
I would say for what you want this may not be for you
edit bar does not stay open but jumping into options is just a press of button
For you, you may want documents to go or office suite 5 I read good reviews of those

Anyone else have input? Specific to my needs if possible
I had an original transformer, just got my prime yesterday.
I used my tf last two semesters for all my classes.
I usually use the pre-loaded supernote app to take notes. It takes kb input and you can draw as well (useful for science classes).
my teachers give us power point lecture slides and for that the polaris office is pretty good, I haven't tried the other office apps, but polaris should do most of what you throw at it.
Some of my teachers give pdf lecture notes, I use repligo reader to annotate on pdf.
Sent from my Galaxy S2
Just gonna bump this in the hope that someone can direct me to something that might help me more.
This PDF annotation software will help as I need to deal with a lot of case law etc.
I'm guessing that there is nothing out there currently that supports having two documents open at once side by side as I said above?
Main requirement would be snappy formatting (Bold/Underline/Italic), can this be done in Polaris with CTRL+B/U/I?.
Also the list thing, I know it's not automatic when tabbing like in Word but an easy/quick to use button is fine.

no, there is currently no way of running two apps at the same time, it's a limitation of all mobile based OS's, everything essentially runs in full screen mode.
the CTRL commands should work fine, i'm pretty sure i used them for various things on my tf101.
Are any of these aforementioned office suit apps compatible with odt (OpenOffice format)?

It's not about running two apps at once. It's about one app having two files open at once.
Say a word document on the left and then a powerpoint on the right.
I doubted it'd be available. Maybe it'll come.
I've been struggling with finding a good note-taking app for the NT. Mind you the best ones out there (like Quill; queue: envy) are only compatible for Honeycomb or ICS. So until CM9 is complete, I'm stuck looking for something compatible with Gingerbread.
One is dealing with the palm recognition that glitches out the stylus' path in the app. This, I've "solved" this by placing a cloth beneath my hand while writing with a stylus.
The remaining problem is an app that can keep up. Sketchbook Mobile and Drawing Pad actually are the most accurate that I've tried, but they're slow and laggy and not meant for note taking. I've tried FreeNote, Note Plus, and Note Everything to find that they struggle to capture script-like handwriting accurately.
Does anyone have any ideas? Suggestions? If not, I'm suck carrying a pad of paper to class until CM9 is complete.
I use Evernote and Springpad those are the best, primarily because they can sync your notes to all your devices, so you never lose them .
~ Veronica
Try Evernote Skitch. May not be the perfect app you're looking for, but I use it to jot down notes.
Or Evernote + Swype.

Do you know what apps that make use of the pressure sensitive pen? The ones I know so far are:
Notes (the built-in HTC app, of course)
Sketchbook Pro / Mobile
Quill
What else?
The built-in browser.

In addition to highlighting, you can annotate/draw in all those applications... what else do you want the pen to do? I usually have similar expectations for a pen and paper/document/book in front of me.
In honeycomb the pen acts as a capacitive stylus... click and move around the page. Tapping the pen button gives you the option to capture the screen and annotate.
Hope this helps you in your decision or quest for knowledge. Too bad there isn't a sticky to help people realize the pen functionality in HTC provided apps.
I see. I didn't know that about those reading apps. I thought everything just turned into screenshots and jpg. I have the flyer and I find Sketchbook Pro to be really great. Do you know any other drawing apps that make use of the pressure sensitivity? Quill is more of a note taking app I guess.

I've been waiting for them to implement that feature. I'm glad it came with the latest update. Easily the best PDF reader on the market, and now it's even better.
Sketchbook Pro is probably the best drawing app.
Hopefully not sure we'll see many more apps with pressure sensitive input. I dont think the general populous understands or needs the precise input of an integrated pen.
I would suggest folks look for ways to utilize the existing apps... Find work around for the quirks you cant stand. Hopefully ICS may bring more pen-based apps, but unlikely any pressure sensitve apps.
I personally like the flyer and have figured out how to use the current apps in my workflow.
Hello
I just picked up the note 10.1 and after some reading around have downloaded and played with snote, papyrus, lecture notes, and note anytime and so far am not too impressed with either.
I'm looking for an app that takes notes mostly via handwriting recognition and allows me to free draw as well for meetings then export said notes into .doc or pdf (reason why I bought the note in the first place). .
What app are you all using for note taking at meetings and such that does a good job with handwriting recognition?
Sent from my SM-P600 using XDA Premium HD app
So far I feel I will likely use polaris word and the handwriting keyboard to input. Easy to make headings and in a common editable format. Then for sketches I use sketchbook pro and insert the pic into the document.
But it's not perfect. Wasn't impressed with snote really. Only had mine for 2 days though.
You can always use built-in handwriting recognition within any note taking app. Or use MyScript Stylus beta, works very well.
I'm using SPenBoard switcher, any time I use the pen it switches to Stylus beta, otherwise it's the keyboard for input.

I'm trying to find this app "SpenBoard switcher". I went to google play store and couldn't find it. Where did you find it?
Sorry, I found it but it says my tablet needs to be rooted. Is there an alternative for a non rooted tablet?
Please anyone know about any MyStylus Beta mod? Anyone please????e????
Hi there you amazing people,
I have been a user of My Stylus Beta for a very long time and its by far the best handwriting recognition software ever. The problem is that the company has dumped the software and its no longer working anymore. Even when you decide to use it anyway you get it and you have resigned yourself to eternal usage of this app without further updates,but they took that option off the table when the app stopped working on the devices and its not even available for download on Google Play anymore , pls can anyone help? would be eternally grateful if someone can help.Thanks so very much. :crying:e????e????

Actually there are not comparable in anyway. Stylus Beta is by far superior and has a seamless writing style. There are some kinks to be worked out for sure but its far better. I think the company made a bad call cancelling out the app without giving it a chance.
Handwriting App
Try Nebo, to find in the Playstore.
Hi guys,
as the pen works really phenomenal on our Tablet and My S7+ is like made for drwaing, I wanted to ask which app you use for that?
The already installed Samsung apps are not what I'm really looking for.
On the Computer I use Paintshop Pro to paint and to work on Fotos.
Which one would be best to get the features from PaintShop Pro?
If it is freeware, I would be even more happy
I would recommend SketchBook 100%. Im using it myself and its full of features every artist needs.
SketchBook
Sketchbook was what I found so far.
Fits most of what I need. Just wanted to know if there is something even better.
I mostly want to work on existing Fotos and there are not so many filters and things for that.
I've tried most now and the best I've come across is infinite painter. It has a minimalistic ui but this is deceiving, spend some time with it and you'll find that it's very capable.
I've used Sketchbook for years. It's excellent, but they seem to have stopped updating it since it went 100%
I also use Infinite Painter, it has some really good brushes and the grids/guides are amazing. It's had a major update on iOS and the new features are headed to Android soon.
I've also tried out Clip Studio Pain at the TAB S7+ comes with a free trial. It is amazing, but I don't like the subscription pricing.
If you want to see my drawings, check out @sketchUK on instagram - I usually include the app name in the description, so you can see what I've used.
Infinite Painter FTW
It's as close to a Photoshop android app as I've been able to find.
You might want to check out Krita. It's an open source app designed for desktop, but ported to Android.
With this screen, it should work out well. My device isn't here yet, but the app is free.
ETA: YouTube video link:
Infinite Painter is Crapware - Spyware - Malware
Tried Infinite Painter after reading here. First of all I got alarm about two trackers. After starting message appears that the app does not run without play services.
So far so good.
Tried to uninstall the app to find out that it was not possible to uninstall.
I had to do a factory reset to get the app off my tablet.
The device is new and untouched, I should not have to use adb tool to actually get rid of this crapware.
Keep your fingers off this app
I seem to always find myself back using Medibang paint. it's for the most part free and easy to navigate and use also with a whole online community and database of online tools and downloads. Cloud saving. Frequent updates.

Krita
Krita
Krita is a professional FREE and open source painting program. It is made by artists that want to see affordable art tools for everyone.
krita.org
..and to see just how capable it is, always go to the user manual; that's where the real story is told.
Welcome to the Krita 5.0 Manual!

Not sure about S-pen compatibility, though...
EDIT: I did a search of this thread for 'krita', saw no results, made this post, then saw that it was already mentioned by @undrwater

From here:
The developers of the editing program have converted the full version of Desktop 4.29 to Android environment. This implies that the interface is not 100% suitable for touch control, but works great on tablets with a stylus, as is the case with the Samsung Galaxy Tab. We tested Krita on a Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite and the feeling was very positive: the app not only allows editing of images and lines, it is also very well suited for use with the S Pen. It even detects different pressure levels for drawing.

Krita is working really well with S Pen.
You can also deactivate touch input for any painting and then your palm will not "paint" while using the S Pen.
Also the pressure is really nicely configurable within Krita.
Can fully recommend this app, thanks for mentioning it here - as I didn't know it before
I'm also looking for a good drawing app right now. I want to try it and learn how to draw in the application. This will make my work easier and faster. For now, I only draw on paper and improve my skills. The drawing ideas on partnersinfire.com help me with this. However, I understand that now is the time that I need to learn to be friends with technology. There are many areas where all artists work in applications, and I understand this. So if anyone can recommend a good app, I'll be grateful.
I’m using a samsung galaxy tab s7+ (12,4 inches),and you can use clip paint studio painting app on it, which you can synchronise with your pc/mac. The stylus is great and drawing experience is excellent.
Here is an article that should help you choose a android drawing app: https://pctechtest.com/20-best-digital-art-drawing-software
