[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Will_nonya:
For me the pen was an important part of the decision to buy the Flyer and one of the key features that I use everyday. I'm just curious how important the pen is to other Flyer owners.

When you pick up your Flyer is the pen:

An indispensable part of the experience

It's useful but it’s not a major factor

You think it’s a novelty or you seldom use it

You never use it

You don't own a pen
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lrs421:
Never bothered to purchase one. I thought I would eventually, but I missed a few of the sales and ultimately convinced myself I didn't need it.

The pen brings a great amountof accuracy. Most of the web site still built for a mouse and keyboard experiance. The pen provides a great bridge between touch and mouse
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] muddythecat:
Use it everyday.

Flyer on HC the pen is superfantastic. I use it everyday in class for note taking, if I did not have to take notes I would not use it. Personally I like the Sketch Pads textured back grounds for notes I tried every writing app except the Lenovo ported one(Can't get it to work) The HTC pen gives me four different width lines just by using pressure!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
Have one, don't use it much but nice to have
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] inmnbob:
it was the decision point for me get the View because I would like to take notes in meetings. The pens accuracy is so great compared to the ipad pens. I love the features of the notepad and the integration into the calendar application. My problem is when using the notepad my wrist keeps hitting the home key which takes me out of the application. Any tips wowould be appreciated
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] raed81:
There are applications to hide the keys... I think honeybar one of them

I thought about purchasing a pen when I bought my Flyer, but I figured I would just quickly loose it.

How do you guys keep track of the thing?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] madnlooney:
i got mine free with the flyer in UK. now i use it more with HC as it annoyed me taking screenshots all the time with GB
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lrs421:
There are a couple of cases that have built-in pen holders.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jamus28:
I bought honeybar to have more writing room in PDF editor.

Unfortunately, as soon as the pen hits the screen, either a gray bar appears where the status bar should be, or the extended application remains and anything I write becomes translated/distorted by the fixed distance of the honeybar :(
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] colonel_elwood:
The pen was the reason I bought the Flyer for meeting notes. Integration with Evernote is superb. If I had to replace may Flyer I would need to buy the same again.

Using a case off EBay from Yoobao which has a silo in the spine which is spring loaded and makes storing and using the pen simple.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lawguy:
The pen is a novelty to me. My fingers work better for everything that I need to do. My daughter uses it to doodle and to me, that is its most useful feature.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Ryno_666:
Love my pen I can sign documents in email. Also scribble a lot on blueprints a forms.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dan1101:
Turn the tablet upside down. Silly but would work.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Will_nonya:
Pretty interesting so far.

It looks like the pen is useful to around 60% of users who have responded up to this point. Based on the responses in the thread I'm guessing these are mostly students or business users who use their flyer for note taking or similar tasks.

If that trend continues it would seem to be significant for those cooking cool new ROMs. I'm looking at you Virtuous :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] GrandAdmiral:
Count me in as one who likes the pen also, especially on HC.

I'm thinking odd getting that and want to know more about that spine feature. Does the springload pop the pen out? What keeps it from falling out of the spine?

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] wmdnc1990:
Ever since the upgrade to 3.2 I've found myself using the pen as my primary input source... While on 2.3 I just left the pen in my school bag and never used it... I love the pen now that it is actually useful...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] GMAN1722:
I feel exactly the same. For me the pen is what put this tablet over the top of any other tablet. When I first told my wife that I was getting it she objected and said that a tablet was unnecessary and just another gadget that I was looking to buy. Good thing I didn't listen to her. Once she saw the versatility and the usefulness (plus the price drop) she got herself one. Now there are at least nine (and counting) friends and coworkers who have purchased the flyer/view for the sole purpose of the pen (but you won't hear from them because they aren't in the forums - yet).

At first I was using the M-Edge case for the Nook Color as my case. Now I graduated to an OtterBox. I don't mind the extra bulk and if I want to just carry it in my jacket I just don't use the big plastic cover. It fits and it still offers protection (other than for the screen of course) In fact I love that it gives the flyer a sleek black look. Coupled with the black pen I purchased ---SWEET!!!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] RaptorMD:
Just got my Evo View and will be stopping at a Sprint store to get one of the Black Scribe Pens. Hope I will use it, not sure I will but it was part of my reasons to buy this over other 7" tablets.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] devator22:
Honestly, the idea of a tablet always seemed silly to me, especially considering I have a netbook which is much more versatile and useful than a tablet. I could have had a touchpad, a xoom, or a galaxy tab, but those all seemed silly to me. But then I saw the pen demonstrations on the Flyer, and I instantly new that I would be replacing my netbook with one. I got it for Christmas, with all the goodies, including a pen, and I must say that I barely ever actually touch the screen. Almost all interactions are made noticeably better with the pen, except for multi-touch situations like in games, but that should be kind of obvious. The pen is not only the defining point of this tablet for me, but the defining point in my owning of any tablet.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Sweetpea8472:
Got a case with a spot for the pen.

I already used it before the HC update as I already used the Notes app a lot, but since I upgraded, I use it about everywhere... Very happy I can now use it to highlight lines in my ereading app (Mantano) as I can't stand the integrated ereader app (those margins, both top and side, are waaaaay too large.

The pen was the reason I spent a bit more than I had first planned to do. So, it was a major selling point for me.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] R23PO:
the pen is inkredible. I like to have the ability to sketch on the go. What happens when I need to replace the pen nib though? I don't have to buy a new stylus do I ? Wish there was a perfect case for the view/flyer. marware makes a nice tight case for the kindle fire. someone else mentioned it on the boards. view/flyer needs a similar case but with a zip up compartment inside for the $60 stylus. preferably underneath, by the charge port.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bsweetness:
Like several others, Scribe is the major reason why I went with the View. I'm required to sift through hundreds of PDF files each week. I used to have an Asus Transformer that I used for reading the files, but it's size wasn't optimal for long periods of use, and it was very difficult to highlight/make notations on what I was reading. The Scribe pen makes highlighting and note-taking incredibly easy, and the 7" form factor is perfect for reading.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] JAAFASP:
Solid build quality was what lured me in. The pen was/is more of a novelty. The white case it came with is good enough for transportation purposes. :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] colonel_elwood:
There is a small catch (also spring loaded) which releases the stylus from the silo. Really easy to use. The only problem with the case is that it doesn't hold itself closed (magnets etc) but not a big concern.

Searched ebay for a current listing - one below FYI

Mine only turns 90 even when upside down. I am guessing a setting issue in HC?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Ian Rothwell:
That's me that is. Was going to sell my Flyer if I hadn't gotten more use out of it when moving to HC. It is my first tablet, and will be the one I stick with since it has the right balance of fun and seriousness (now that the pen is better supported). As an illustrator and also a development technician for a visitor centre, I can take pictures, notes, annotate them to note aspects needing attention, mock up sign designs, read emails, test QR codes for signs, show folk ideas and thoughts etc on the fly.... Superb bit of kit.

Rubbish as a seat though.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dan1101:
Never mind GB acts the same way. I thought it would work aside from the fact that your notes will be upside down.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] whudini3000:
The stylus was the only reason I picked up the flyer =)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] spartan1987:
Honeybar may work, however the dev for hidebar (which is free) is working on compatibility with the View and Flyer. I brought it to his attention a couple weeks ago and I'll go ahead and email him again to see how it's going.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] trksab:
very useful! specially with the HC improvements...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] WickeR:
For myself, the digitizing experience is what moves this device from a pure consumptive device (my main beef with the current tablets) to something that you can actually create with. I've been and Android user now since the G1 came out and it's been a great experience (now have the G2). But as great as those devices have been, I've really missed the stylus that I had with my old Palm Pilots. Being able to doodle and jot down notes was a great thing with those and something I've really been missing. I don't like drawing and writing with my finger, just not the same.

I've got a couple of older TabletPC's which are great for drawing/painting and taking notes but they lack the portability, cool temps, quietness and weight of the new round of tablets. So along comes the Flyer/View that all of a sudden breathes new life into the 7" format --my preference for reading. I've heard a lot of arguments for and against the flyer in a number of deal forums regarding how the Flyer stacks up against other 7" tablets. Moot point, in my opinion. If you don't have the digitizer for this thing, you're missing the whole point of this particular device in the first place.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Will_nonya:
even without the digitizer i haven't seen many 7 inch tablets that compare in a hands on evaluation. Some have better specs but few are as good in person.

When i pointed out to people that the new smart phones with capacitive screens didn't support the handwriting software i'd used for years with WinMo most said so what. After seeing how much more useful the Flyer is than their iPads in a real business setting most of my coworkers are rethinking that assumption.

On the topic of cases i have the standard HTC leather case that i picked up cheap from the local sprint shop. So far its worked great on 3 continents and nearly 50 countries/states and I've had no concerns about it keeping the pen. I can see where its possible with a little mis-use to stretch the leather that holds the pen but i haven't had this problem and its used constantly. Also I prefer to walk into a meeting with something that is comfortable to hold and looks professional instead of using a case that makes it look like i'm lugging around a piece of milspec hardware.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Shep:

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dsf3g:
Just upgraded to Honeycomb a few minutes ago, and I can alraedy tell that it's going to be a completely different experience as far as the pen goes.

I mean, I bought this tablet specifically for its pen integration, and then was somewhat let down to learn that I could only use the pen in a few built-in applications.

But now in Honeycomb... oh, la, la! Suddenly I can use the pen in all my drawing apps and to peck at those tiny menus when I RDP into a Windows computer. No doubt it'll make selecting hyperlinks on web pages easier, too.

There's no doubt in my mind: Honeycomb finally fufills the promise of this tablet. It's just a supreme irony that HTC released the Honeycomb upgrade just as they were discontinuing the Flyer. I mean how nuts is that?!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] TSGM:
A bit of context: my job involves a lot of handwriting and article reading. I really, really wanted to like the pen, but unfortunately, it was such a rushed job on HTC's part that I just couldn't. First of all, I'm surprised that many of you enjoy navigating (in honeycomb) with the pen. Although it's easier to select small objects like links, I found that using your fingers is still faster, partly because you don't have to keep switching between pen and finger on order to, for example, pinch zoom.

Article annotation is made difficult by the lack of choice when it comes to the minimum pen width. In my view, the screenshot capability is a novelty and I don't use it much. This leaves the Notes app, which is limited for many reasons (see the discussions regarding the Quill app). For example, the graphical output from the Noted app using the pen is fairly ugly and badly rendered---to a certain extent Quill fixes this by using vector brush strokes, but I'm still wondering why high quality raster brush strokes was not implemented by HTC.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Ian Rothwell:
+1 with you on that compadre.

+1 with you on that compadre. I am guilty however of expecting honeycomb to have come sooner... Oh no... Hang on... No I'm not guilty of anything, I was just trusting (and I will continue to trust people, despite lies/fibs/optimistic projections of good things happening) HTC on what they said would happen. Grrrr! I trust the scars will heal... In time...

Sorry for interrupting your discussion.

We got similar questions few days/weeks ago.

The Arnova devices have different hardware than the original Archos Gen8/9 series.

These tablets are neither gen8 nor gen9, they are something special :rolleyes:

The firmware and update mechanism is also different.

The best would be to search for Arnova related stuff in this forum (i'm lazy too, but i like searching).

There'd been a lot of related postings already, so you might get some answers/links which put you in the right direction.

Best regards and good luck,

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devwithzachary:
As scholbert said, and what I meant was these arnova tablets are neither archos gen 8 or gen 9 so its very unlikely you will find the help you need here, so yes best search xda or more likely try to find another forum that has a section for these tablets

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] suxi:
Edit: The old title was "Google Apps for Android 2.3.6 ROMOW 4.1 ROM"

Hi everyone

I was running the great ROMOW 4.1 ROM on my Note and (I don't know what hit me) mistakenly flashed the google apps 6 for ICS (I didn't know the ICS bit at the time of flashing). In order to fix this I flashed the updated ROMOW 5.1 ROM and immediately ran into more trouble. After flashing, the system boots nicely but then hangs in a google account setup error loop. My last backup is from mid of december and I now wonder whether I could simply flash the correct google apps version on top of the mess in order to get back to normal?

Doing a factory reset also solves the issue but then all my Xmas SMS as well as other data from my last backup till today will be gone.

Before doing the factory reset I took a CWM backup of the faulty system which worked perfectly.

Thanks a lot for any suggestions and have a great year!

Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately as I am stuck in a fatal error setup loop the only things I can do is boot into recovery and work from there or restore an old backup, trying to recover my settings and data from the CWM backup of the faulty system which I took before factory resetting the phone.

Does anyone know how I could retrieve my SMSs and call logs as well as my sMemo drawings from the CWM Backup of the faulty system as these are the crucial things I would like to recover. I have a many hours worth of sMemo drawings and restoring the sMemo user data with Titanium Backup didn't recover them. I don't understand why sMemo doesn't store the drawings on the sdcard and why Titanium didn't backup those. The same goes for SMSs, shouldn't those also be backed up by Titanium?

Again, thanks a lot for your help and for any short explanations of the above!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] suxi:
OK, this is a great way to learn about android ;)

I learned that I can unzip the CWM backup data.ext4.tar from my faulty system and push certain user data back to a fresh system using ADB.

I am after my SMemo drawings and my SMS Messages. I think the sMemo files for example could be here:

com.sec.android.widgetapp.diotek.smemo

If I push those files/directories in recovery mode with adb to my /data/data directory everything seems fine. I can list them in an ADB shell but after a reboot they are gone.

Do I have a permission issue here?

adb root says I am running adb as root

I also tried adb remount before pushing with no success.

I really appreciate any help!

Thanks a lot

suxi
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] suxi:
Nearly there!

I flashed a new custom ROM, booted into recovery mode and mounted the /data directory (before I forgot to do that and couldn't push any data in recover mode because of that).

I extracted the following directories from my faulty system backup and pushed them with adb to the fresh phone:

/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony

/data/data/com.sec.android.provider.logsprovider

After this all my SMS and Calllog Databases were restored.

Now I just need to find the necessary sMemo Databases. I found this one so far:

com.sec.android.widgetapp.diotek.smemo

But pushing this only brings back the document and pile structure with empty documents in sMemo.

Does anyone know where the missing documents are?

Thanks a lot and have a great weekend

This handy app can restore your sms and Apps from CWM. So feel free to flash again any ROM and then use the app to extract your SMS

Good luck
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] suxi:
Thank you, that app sounds perfect. Have you tried it? I tried to recover some system Apps and it frequently performs a quick restart in the middle of it, so I guess the remaining Apps had not been restored.

Unfortunately it also doesn't recover my precious sMemo drawings. Does anyone have an idea where in the data directory those are stored?

Best wishes
