LineageOS 14.1 and s-pen compatibility - Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti

Hi.
I intend to flash my girlfriend's N5110 to LineageOS. However, she is just very fond of the S-Pen, it is also very useful since she uses a lot of Japanese input (she uses MyScript Stylus Beta).
Now, will the S-Pen still work with the most recent release? I've spent quite some time searching on the net but couldn't find a definite answer. I understand that all the Samsung apps, which are based on TouchWiz, will not work. But the question remains, will the S-Pen input itself work with less options available, with less "comfort" so to speak, or will it not work at all?
Some hints would be greatly appreciated!

Would like to know too. I did find an app that works well in the Play Store.. search for "Squid" - Take Notes & Markup PDFs...

Spen works very well with LOS 14.1
If you use stylus beta you can easily switch between keyboard input and stylus based handwriting input. Sketchbook, lecture notes or similar apps also work fine with direct stylus input.

I'm also struggling to find the answer on if the Spen will still work with PEN.up (Stock Samsung App) if I update gf's Note 8.0 to LineageOS?
Anyone know for sure?

can anyone post a link to lineageOS so I can flash please?

Samsung SuperNote and/or S-Note on our Nexus 7

Hey!
I like Supernote and S-Note on Samsung-Devices, its a smart and fast way to memo or write something.
It's possible that Supernote and SNote works well on the Nexus 7?
Is somewhere working on Nexus 7-versions of Supernote and SNote?
Thanks and a nice evening. :good:
Hi,
that would be very nice. I hope, anybody is able, to port this App to the Nexus 7
Tim
Would presume that apps like that will need the touchwiz framework for it to run.
So I think that only a full touchwiz port will work.
hm, okay. I hope, it will run without...
Tim
use supernote from asus transforrmer
i upload 2 versions,try them all

The second one works for me fine. Thanks alot! Now I need a stylus
Does it support mathematic funktions, like the SNote?
i don't think,but you can try and delete if you don't like
OK, first I try it in my DesireHD, because, I get my Nexus at the end of the month I will report, if that works, or not
Tim
It would be soo great if somebody could bring the SNote on the Nexus7.
I have tested Supernote. But this app has no math plugin.
i don't think of.surely it requires tw frameworks and dependencies,but also if a working port of touchwiz is available,inside that i didn't find anything related to spen..if it was possible,i think users like madphone could already done that..but it isn't so..!
but why does it needs Touchwiz? I think, Touchwiz is the UI of Samsungdevices. I hope, anybody can explain that

Because Samsung makes great hardware but their software division likes to make things as complicated as possible so they are more in control of their builds then the user is.. Samsungs stupid qmg boot animation format is a perfect example.

Touchwiz is more than the ui, it encompasses all the internal OS changes as well. For example, you can't just rip out the "Pop up Play" feature out of the Galaxy Note II, as it relies on some of the internal OS tweaks to function. Same with some proprietary apps like S-Note, they may need the internal changes present only on Touchwiz ROMs.
Still no possibility to install S Note on Nexus 7???
Is there really no possibility to install Samsung S Note on the Nexus 7?
I even flashed a custom rom, which is said to port Touchwiz on the Nexus 7, but I still can´t install the S Note apk.
(I am prevented to post outside links -.- You have to search mrmad.net CodenameSammy 1.2, there you will find the rom)

yeah man,it's famous,but it's only a cna based rom with some touchwiz touches(TWframeworks,APKs,etc)
it's a well known fact that the tw dependencies limit the port.being closed sorce,tw ui need rewritten code for working on others non touchwiz dependent phones.i don't say that it's impossibile,but very hard and long.doubt we will ever see anything related
You should use Myscript Calculator. It does the match functionality perfectly.
Lecture note is better then snote
I hardly ever use s-note on my note 10.1. there is a- note hd for the note that you guys might like better I dont have a link but its available in the note 10.1 forum ...I do not really use it but it looks kewl..
I use lecture note and Franklin planner for the note 10.1 ..s note is useless without the S- pen in my opinion ...
I wish myscript would release and enhance their notes program. Its fantastic just for the handwriting recognition same with the samsung keyboard handwriting recognition. Have been wondering if the 7notes keyboard is worth just getting

Just purchased the Note 8.0...looking for some advice on what I should do with it

First and foremost, I'm debating whether to install a custom ROM on it. I have an S3 running Carbon on it (I can't stand Touchwiz...it angers me to no end) and I'm curious whether there's any crucial features that I will lose on the Note 8 if I ROM it.
I recently started a Post Grad program after a few years of being out of school and first and foremost this will be a note taking/E-Textbook device (back in my day, we had to carry multiple 10 pound text books in our back packs...man kids got it good these days!). Which leads me to my next question: what apps would you guys recommend for that? I already have Papyrus installed (haven't used it yet though), but is there anything else worth checking out? Also, are there any particular ROM's or Launchers that are more geared towards a device like this (Pen capabilities and all).
Thanks in advance
Hi. Note 8 is great device as it is. I would reccomend to stay with touchwiz and original Rom as many custom roms have broken s-pen functionality. Try to update it to newest version - thats all. As for Note talking build in app are top notch IMHO. You have two complete solution - just spend time to learn one of them as they surpass papyrus greatly as a complete solution not only to create but also to manage notes.

Thanks! That Simple Mind app will be very useful for group work at school.
I just stumbled upon this app and I must say it's amazing. Only in beta, but it's a godsend.

[APP] MW Commander

I was tired of the restricted list of apps compatible with multiwindow..... Until today....
Just tried MW Commander on my S6,
Works really well. It adds the ability to put any app into multiwindow state. And show up in multiwindow selection.
Been looking for an app that's works properly on the s6 for a while, so I thought I would share here.
This is a paid app, there might be ones out there that work that are free but I haven't found one that works well on our device and I think its worth the £1
I'm not affiliated with this app, just wanted to share as I couldn't find any posts about it in this forum.
Hope this helps someone to enjoy multiwindow on their device a bit more
P.S r00t is required
thanks checking it out
Good find - though I can't get it to work with some apps (Tapatalk for instance), but it does work on most of them

Im having problems with it. In messages the keyboard after i enable the multiwindow manager for some apps like calc and a few more. The keyboard stars working a lil weird, for example when im in the messages app and have the keyboard open and I press the emoji button it doesn't change. and when i Press the add a file button it appers like the keyboard its not hiding for this to happen. Do you experiencing the same issues? Also if i have the keyboard opened and press the power button and turn it on the keyboard stays in the lockscreen and doesn't hide.

I'm afraid I Havant experienced any of these symptoms. Which ROM are you using? Or are you stock? I would email the developer, as he will have a good insight into the problems you are having.
Sorry I can't help much more as I can not reproduce the problems
Cheers

Samsung S Pen Features on Note 2 Custom ROM

I installed Xenon HD based Custom ROM for Nougat 7.1.2 on my Note 2 without thinking about what happens to S-Pen and the apps that it use like S-Note. But I am liking the phone after I installed this.
Hence thought I will check if there is a way I can use S-Pen and the associated apps on this Custom ROM.
Any help or, information would be highly appreciated.
I really liked the S-Note app and would like to use it or, something like it.
for note taking i currently use "Squid - Take Notes & Markup PDFs" it has some inapp purchases but the basic stuff is available for free.
But pretty much any note taking app should have support for the spen, at least the bigger ones (EverNote and such, but i never used them)
Then there are options like SPenCommand and NoteBuddy (not sure if it works on Nougat)
My preferred App for Stylus gestures is GMD SPen Control but sadly it seems that app is no longer maintained and does not work on Nougat

The problem with most of the notes app is that there is no handwriting recognition and hence S-Pen pretty much becomes useless. That is one of the reasons for my displeasure.
I would like to use the features of S-Pen. And there were a lot of my notes in S-Note which is something I haven't been able to recover or, use now.
SPencommand and Notebuddy doesn't seem to be working on Nougat.
SPencommand definitely does, i tried it for a short period but ended up getting a refund because it does not support custom gestures.
Oh i thought you meant just scribbling down some notes, i never used the recognition feature to turn it into actual text.
As far as i know there is no way to run the Samsung apps on AOSP or import data from them.
But i personally never used them, maybe someone else has some ideas.

Yeah, you are right. I tried a few others including SPenCommand. But nothing worked until now. Looks like I have to finally convince myself of letting it go..

Fully stable and functional OS/ROM for P600 (Note 10.1 2014 Edition)?

Hello all
I'm a newbie here (so excuse me if I used a wrong term or for not being an expert/dev)
I own a (note 10.1 2014 Edition wifi) for like 3 years now. It feels slower and the battery life is not great compared to its newer versions. I've always thought, for such a high spec device, its illogical to just throw it away or purchase a newer model just for what feels like software limitations (please correct me if I'm wrong). So, I signed up here, in xda dev forum, looking for a way to install a fully functional OS (preferably newer and stable stock android). Most of the roms that I've found were in-complete or still underdevelopment (Which is great news) but I was wondering if I missed a thread with a fully functional Android for my device that I can just upgrade to.
I've tried alot of tips to speed up the tab, reducing animation duration, clearing cache, un-used apps, etc. but it still feels much slower compared to newer models with similar specs. I use my tab for browsing, movies, gaming, drawing, a little graphics design work and taking notes.
My device is not rooted (I tried, but I failed for some reason, I was trying to lower the display resolution and ppi) so I'm still running touchwiz - lolipop 5.1.1
Is there any thread to a fully functional stock Android for P600?
Thank you for your patience and for reading this,
I really appreciate it.
It's funny because I have had my Note 2014 since they were new, and I can't seem to find anything worth replacing it with. Where else can you find a tablet with >8000mAh battery?
I am running LineageOS (Android 7.1) on mine, with root, and I find it quick enough. I would love to get something with current generation specs but I can't find much that I like.
I mainly use mine for work (editing Word documents primarily) or web browsing. I honestly feel it holds up much better than it should compared with newer devices; that's a testament to how mediocre all the current tablet offerings are.

Exactly my thoughts! Thanks for your reply, I though for a sec there that it was all in my head lol.
So if you dont mind, I've some questions about the LineageOS (Android 7.1), how do you feel about it? Is there any issues with it? Anything that you came across that is not working or like software limitations? Is the pen working? Does it use something like a play store? Is all apps compatible with the OS with no issues (did you come across any app that failed to install or use coz of the OS)? How is the Battery life? How do you find games on it?
Sorry for the machinegun of questions ? I'm just excited that someone thinks similarly after what felt like a long silence lol. Again I thank you so much for your reply, I really appreciate it!

I can answer a few of those.
I'm using the RessurectionRemix ROM which is the same thing as Lineage but with additional features.
All of the hardware features actually work fine (IR blaster, SPen, etc.).
The only thing is you can't use Samsung's apps like S-Note but there are a few alternatives (Onenote, Evernote, papyrus, sketchbook). And SPenCommand (Paid App that requires Root) is what most people use to replace Air command.
Most custom ROMs have you flash GAPPS after the ROM which gives you access to the play store so you can get your apps/games from there.
Battery life is excellent compared to touchwiz, since there's no Samsung bloat installed.
If you wanted to compromise somewhere in the middle there's also a modified touchwiz marshmallow ROM which should have full samsung app/pen support and better battery life than lollipop (but still not as good as Lineage or RR).

Awesome! that sounds great and really comforting! how is the process of installing the rom, is it too difficult? what do you feel that is missing or not working properly, if there is any?

Well, the beginning is sort of complicated if you're starting from scratch but after that, it gets easier.
First, you have to get Odin so you can put TWRP on your device. You can find latest Odin here. And latest TWRP on this thread (get only the TWRP .tar file here).
Now put your device in download mode (turn it off then press Power+Volume Down).
Open up Odin then plug in the tablet and one of the top right boxes should turn blue. If it doesn't you might need to install the Samsung drivers from here.
Now click the options tab and uncheck Auto Reboot, click the AP button and choose the TWRP .tar file you downloaded, and press start. It should finish pretty fast.
When it's done hold down Power+Volume Up until you see the Samsung logo, and TWRP should show up. That's where you can finally install the ROM.
