Hey all, is there a way to remap the spen button to something else other than bringing up the air command menu?
I use Papyrus a lot and would like to remap the s pen button to switch to the Papyrus eraser.
Sounds like a potent rom feature or maybe an xposed module... I couldn't find much on this... Try looking in the note 2 and note 3 forums... If it can be done it on those I would think it would be done the same way... I would be surprised if you didn't need root though.
Any word?
Does anyone know if there's been any development on this?

I'm neck deep in smali files, looking for this. Just give me a bit. Unless a more experienced developer shows up, I'll try my best to find something for you. But be gentle
note buddy app
This is not a way to remap spen button but i think its a great and easy workaround
Note buddy app has auto launch you can set to open papyrus when spen is removed.
Also can easily set attach and detach sounds
Then goto spen in settings to turn off stock sounds and disable detachment from air command to none

Hey guys.. Is anyone else having difficulties trying to launch a application using the spen feature? You can program the spen to open up applications using any gesture but for some reason anytime I try to make one It doesnt work.. I hold the button down and draw my gesture it then crops a photo to save instead of opening anything up?
Any tips? Am using simple gestures like the figure 8 ..or 0. Still nothing?

Hey bro lol are you bringing up the gesture app first? It only works there. Hold button and draw a line up then the grey pad comes up then do your gesture. You should have asked me yesterday lol. Hey h0tw1r3 brought stock ics port from n7005 to note 1! Go check it.
Gotta check it out now...wish hotwire was here too...ill gtalk ya later...lol..hey thanks for the tip on gestures..
If your device is rooted, you can try my app, it allows to create custom SPen gestures that are executed anywhere without starting special window.

does anyone know how to disable the back button at the bottom of the screen when using the s pen?
In the s memo. . You have a small icon at the bottom right to toggle between s pen only and both finger and s pen input

I do not know
There's a solution.
Just use app called gmd spen control. It disables all finger touches of you need it to.
You can even set it automatically to disable finger input when you pull out your spen.
(this app doesn't work on 4.4.2 yet)

Well I just got my hands on a Note II and I was wondering, is there a way to make mouse over instant using the S-Pen as a hardware mouse?
the pen work as a mouse, activate air view in s-pen settings and you can see a dot when the pen is close to the screen. If you over that dot in webpages, it works as a mouse, handy for hovering menus.

Elaborate please. i fail to understand what youre trying to achieve
just to note, it will hover even if you have Air View turned off. just that you won't see the dot.
but yes, it will act just as if you had a mouse and were hovering over an item.

what I want to do is open popup submenus in webpages. for example in newegg, in the homepage, if you put your cursor over a category a popup windows will open with all the sub categories. now, if you don't only place your cursor there but click it, it will transfer you to a different page. but to do that in android you have to hold your finger on the link, and wait for the popup to popup . so what I want is to use my s-pen as a hardware mouse.
Mine does that already. If i just hover over a menu it will automatically pop out.
As far as i know all i did was turn on airview. Everything else is stock

yeap. it works.... my bad! sorry and thanks everyone.
Does anyone know which app captures S-note when you press side button? (when it switches to gesture mode).
Or is that integrated into framework itself?
I guess you might be talking about screen capture. Use the Lock key+home key combo to capture screen using hardware keys. Press down on them together for a couple of seconds. Otherwise you can enable motion for palm swipe based screen capture, or use the s pen to capture the screen.
If it helped, do press thanks

There's this 'GMD S-Pen control' app. Search for it on the play store. Maybe that's what you are looking for. One can create any custom gesture for the s-pen using this.

Do you mean the spen function that let's you select a portion of the screen by holding down the button and drawing a shape on the screen? I don't think that's possible, however you can disable aircommand when you press the button once. This allows third party apps to use the button however they want to.
Go to: Settings>controls>S pen>air command[on/off]

I disabled "air command" in the control panel, but "Easy Clip" appears if you long press spen button.
I think you can't switch off this.

Maybe xposed can solve the issue?

Perhaps, but my (admittedly shallow) search of available Xposed modules hasn't turned up anything.
I was actually looking for an xposed module that allowed disabling the air command per app, but it seems that it's not even possible to completely turn it off...
