[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZACQ8:
Read and learn, everything is there for a noob : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24849218&postcount=3 thanks to JJE
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BadBoyDil:
Keep reading. All will come together. Basics first. Root then look on how to install roms. Patience.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuitarJim:
First step you need to do is root the phone. I used the guide here after following what the guy was doing a few times in the video.

Then BACKUP YOUR EFS FOLDER as soon as you have root. An app called HC-KTool on the android market can do this. Be sure to verify your backup too and copy the efs.img to your PC for safe keeping.

Get titanium backup and batch backup all user apps and system data. Copy the folder on your internal SD onto your PC also.

Boot into CWM and make a backup here too.

Now you are ready to flash a ROM - Resurrection Remix ICS 1.4 here contains links and FAQ.

As it's your first ROM install you should follow the full installation guide in the FAQ. I stayed with the stock kernel as had problem with siyah and theroux.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tmcquake:
I recently came upon a great note taking app called Papyrus Beta. The app developer has now added support for the s-pen on the G-Note. One killer feature is the ability for the app to distinguish between s-pen input and finger input, so you can use the s-pen to write and finger to erase. If you watch the demo video in the Play Store the developer talks about additional functionality that they are hoping to bring to the app in future updates, including other uses for the s-pen button and wireless note syncing.

If you are an obsessive compulsive note taker like me, you should definitely check this app out!

Play Store link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.steadfastinnovation.android.projectpapyrus

Edit: I see that this app has already been mentioned in the N7000 forums. Here's the link to that thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1580716

[UPDATE] The new update to this app brings support for Galaxy Note ICS!! I've only tested it on the Team Perfection's ICS Objection RC3 ROM and it works perfectly; I can't guarantee that it will work for all custom ROMS. Everyone should check out this app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] keller.jeff:
Looks nice... I can't see it in the market, and on the Web it says not comparable, lol

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nash2000:
I just checked the link and got this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] keller.jeff:
Yeah I got it too when I tried again.

Sent from a big chunk of silicon
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tmcquake:
I'm on stock GB and I was able to install from the web and it shows up in the market. Maybe it's not compatible with the Note on ICS?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lactardjosh:
I sent an email to the developers to see if it is compatible with ICS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] circuit.007:
I'm on gingerbread too running stock saurom and it's still incompatible. Why?! So many apps have been doing this too me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tmcquake:
I just saw in the "What's New" section in the Play Store listing it says "Samsung Galaxy Note Support (Gingerbread)", so it must not be ICS compatible yet. That sucks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] circuit.007:
ugh dang why is it not working on mine. i really want to try this app. What rom are you on?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpg71:
Loaded for me on Seraphim ICS (240 DPI). Active Pen isn't an option on this device, however.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jshinn1:
Howd you get it to load it says not compatible with mine as well maybe I need to change my DPI to stock first?

Could anybody possibly post the .apk since it is a free app right now would really love to try it out
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpg71:
I'm at 240, while stock is 320. If it's not the DPI, it might've been something with the ROM itself, since I'm on Seraphim ICS. Without it recognizing the s-Pen, its useless anyway. It recognizes the s-Pen for selecting things right until you create a new note, then it completely ignores it. There's an option in settings to enable the Active Pen, but it doesn't recognize it as a compatible device for that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] thehelio:
I'm also on Seraphim and I was able to download it. I can't write anything with my finger or s-pen.

Also here is a download link if you still have problems

http://goo.gl/BB6oB

Edit: After a reboot my finger worked but still no pen. They're still in beta, only a matter of time i suppose.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] keller.jeff:
I have an email in to the developer also about stock compatibility. I'll post when I get a response.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpg71:
Weird, finger works for me for drawing notes. Pen is ignored.

The silly thing is I can use the pen to select all the buttons and options, I just can't use it on the drawing portion of the app. Finger is recognized fine though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] btothec:
https://www.box.com/shared/b283383e1a8966bea6eb

I am on ICS alpha II and the s-pen is not working with this app. Looks pretty cool though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tmcquake:
In the app settings there is a toggle to enable the pen. Do you have it checked?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tmcquake:
I'm on the stock Gingerbread with Da_G's rooted kernel. I'm using a Rogers Galaxy Note (I717R).

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] btothec:
It is not selectable for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] merlinsrealm:
There is no widget for this which kinda sux, I have a page that I keep note wigets on. Would be a nice addition when they update

Eric
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] keller.jeff:
Won't install. I get a parsing error.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpg71:
Sorry - I should've been clearer, I can't select that option.

Specifically, right underneath the option is "This device is not active pen capable".
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] btothec:
Strange --

I just took it from data/app and posted it. I am using 240 dpi, not sure if it matters.

Tried copying back to data/app and restart and still the same error.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] keller.jeff:
This is showing up in the market now for me. (stock)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wase4711:
on stock, not rooted, installed and works perfectly, including spen...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ryandelman:
I like that Papyrus has palm/hand reject which is an area where S-Memo is sorely lacking. If only it had a widget too....

-Ryan
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] khaytsus:
Papyrus is really nice, it's the first writing app I think I might actually use. Two fingers to scroll the page, unobtrusive lines to guide writing, the finger erase feature is pretty easy to use, but the copy and paste function is crazy cool, I've never seen that before.

Basically every stroke looks like it's recorded as a vector or such in the application, so when you make a selection and you contain the strokes you want to copy/paste/cut, they get inverted to show they're selected, so you can be very precise with what you want, and not cut a line in half etc..

I sent them a suggestion to do something with the SPen button though, right now it seems to do something but I can't figure out what ;) It'd be nice to have it similar to the Finger function where you can set a function when you press it. Ideally not just Draw/Select/Erase but perhaps bring up the color or Tool dialogs for quick access. Although quick access using the pen button might be a misnomer, considering I always have to look to find the button...

Hopefully in the future they support more of the SPen SDK with the various brushes etc. I think it'd also be nice to have a zoom function, in case you're sketching something, and perhaps a full screen mode to go along with that. I can see the value in a few widget styles (View, Open Notebook, New Note, etc).

Not Compatible

As of now it seems to be incompatible with ICS. If anyone got it working somehow, do share!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpg71:
Isn't showing compatible with The Collective's Unofficial GB build either.

Anyone know what build.prop tweaks are necessary to make this thing take to the Note?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] roloracer:
Running on alpha 2 at 240dpi

Working on GB stock as well as Custom. S pen too working flawlessly
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ryandelman:
It works with the Collective's Unofficial GB ROM; I'm using it now.

-Ryan
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] keller.jeff:
S-Memo does have palm rejecting. I can rest my hand on the screen and use the pen with no problems. ;)

but this is a much better app!

New video of the ICS note app looks pretty good though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sag7392:
Working here as well. I can only imagine what this app will do as it matures...gets a thumbs up!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Cernan:
Just installed it, and I have to say I like it over S Note. Mostly because of the ability to easily erase with my finger. Very cool feature that makes erasing so much easier than having to select a new tool. I found that if you just like drawing pictures in S Note, then brush sizes here are not as adequate for general drawing. However, there are far better apps out there if you want to draw for fun.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ryandelman:
Funny, S-Memo palm reject doesn't work at all for me, even when I make sure the S-pen touches the screen first....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpg71:
Interesting. Play market won't let me download it - says my device isn't compatible. Only thing I tweaked on my build.prop was the LCD density which is now set to 240 rather than the stock 320. What DPI are you at?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ryandelman:
At stock 320, but I've been up and down the ladder from 240 back to stock.

However, I don't recall what DPI I was at when downloading Papyrus, but that tells me too that it probably shouldn't matter, though no build.prop tweaks at all.

You know what? Try the Samsung market. Come to think of it, that may be where I downloaded Papyrus from myself.

Let me know if this works.

-Ryan
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpg71:
Wasn't necessary - something must've been off with my settings. I was able to download it from Play after a complete wife/reflash.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] newyearsbaby72:
Papyrus is awesome. I don't know what it is specifically about it, whether its the pressure settings or some sort of smoothing algorithm, but my handwriting looks so much better in this app compared to S-memo. Even though it is still in beta, it's my goto note taking app right now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] borijess:
Can't install keep getting this error. I am on hybrid rom.

Sent from the TermiNOTEr! ;-)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] claywd:
year that's a problem. If you go back to Stock DP i you will have much more Successc
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ryandelman:
Yea, I get cant Papyrus to work properly on any of the ICS ROMs, DPI regardless.

Crazy as it may sound, one of the main reasons why I keep coming back to GB is because of the handful or so apps that I love which don't yet seem to be optimized for ICS....

-Ryan
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tmcquake:
The latest update to this app brings support for ICS!! I've only tested it on Objection RC3, so I'm not sure if all custom ROMs are compatible, but it's working great for me so far!! Everyone should check this app out, it is probably the best note taking app out there for our G-Notes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wpguser:
Can someone explain how to the side button settings work on the app?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] slowpc:
tested on hybrid 6.2 ... :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] PickleHead:
I'm having the same problem I used to have with quill. If I touch the screen mid-stroke, the stroke will disappear. This happens in both quill and papyrus. With "NotesMobile", at least the stroke will just STOP when I touch the screen. Why is this happening and how do I fix it? I'm running latest unofficial CM9.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] paleh0rse:
On FJbuild5, works great! Thanks for the tip!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] docfreed:
Working Well

on CM9 (Unofficial RC6)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] PickleHead:
Do you have the issue where a stroke will disappear if you touch the screen while drawing?

Edit: You also cannot draw while the touchscreen is being touched...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] toxicthunder:
Yeah I can confirm that bug. First I thought it was just me but now since you too report the same issue....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] schtuka:
still happy that it was ported to ICS. loved it on GB.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] docfreed:
Yes, I confirm both "bugs"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cmunho:
Can someone with Papyrus on ICS confirm that it has "zooming" in the Note update? If it does, I'm rooting and putting ICS on my Note. Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] paleh0rse:
Yes, it does.

I'm on FJ build5.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] :
Installed and played with today. Very nice to have the S-PEN back with CM9. Any chance we'll see new paper choices in the next update? It would be cool to have construction paper, Post It's, Moleskine, etc...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cmunho:
I put ICS on my Note today. Papyrus is nice with the zoom, but I've run into a little bug. When you make a fast stroke the end of the stroke disappears for a second, but then comes back. It's like a little flash. Anyone else have that happen?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kferguson84:
This is fantastic! I love the CyanogenMod based ROMs but really missed the S Memo. Thanks so much for this!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] PickleHead:
Has anyone found a rom that fixes this yet?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dafoxs:
Same here
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dafoxs:
It's in beta, I'm sure they will address this. It's not that bad.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] PickleHead:
I think it might be a rom/kernel problem, since similar issues happen with other S-Pen apps. Also, found a post in the N7000 forum that said it happened on one rom and not the other. Maybe we can get the N7000 devs to help the i717 devs fix the issue?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] khaytsus:
By the way, anyone on a Per App DPI ROM, just wanted to drop a note here in case you're having trouble with the app saying it doesn't support your resolution at this time. Set it to Tablet mode for that app, DPI doesn't seem to matter.

I was fiddling with settings and broke Papyrus last night, took me a while to figure this out, everyone else probably already knew it but figured I'd post it anyway. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] p107r0:
new beta 0.1.6 available on the Market
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] PickleHead:
The new CM9 nightly builds FIX the "touch screen while drawing" issue.

I'm so happy!!! I don't think it was a fix with papyrus, because I didn't update it and it is fixed in all drawing programs.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] schlesh436:
Wow what an amazing app. You must have root. Use gestures for everything. There is a free one but it is limited. The paid app is $5 US. But totally worth. THIS TOTALLY competes the tablet experience. ITS ALSO MADE BY ONE OF THE GUYS FROM XDA!!!

It won't let me post a link because I am new BUT I BEG YOU TO GO CHECK IT OUT.

PS. I found this in a earlier in a thread as a solution reply to a guy who wanted to get rid of the status bar but I just wanted to express my excitement
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flyingwolf:
Care you link to that other thread.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adampdx:
I assume this is what you're looking for: Gesture Control thread.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
It still has major bugs THST need to be worked out with ICS compatibility. Looks good though. Will try out once its more polished.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Danny-B-:
What bugs ?

I just have the light version but its very good. Apart from the reloading of wallpapers, i havnt found any bugs yet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] brantje:
Market Link so you can direct install it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hbk19:
Gestures for back, gestures for the launchpad, and custom gestures with borders don't work at all. The only thing that works are non border gestures and hiding the nav bar.

I built a gesture to launch cornerstone, but it didn't work when I tried adding a border only setting to it. I would keep getting an error, so for now, I'm settling for multi-finger non-border gestures.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] deevo2:
All bugs are worked out at this stage... have been for a while now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
Nice find! This is exactly what i was looking for since a while :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 1SiK1500:
Root required =(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
Yeah we really need a new method of rooting the TP. I feel for you man. This is like the first app apart from adblock and titanium backup that are totally awesome.

There's always the option to unlock though.

Btw just bought the full version of the app and its worth it. So much simpler than using buttons. Google should think about implementing something like that into jelly bean.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dan04103:
I've been using this app for about a week now and it is slick. Highly recommended. I only use the status bar and back gestures and reporting no issues.

TFP (Primalicious .21 and motley scotch bonnet)... She's smokin'
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hbk19:
Hmm... I got gestures with borders and the launchpad working after a reboot, but the gestures for 'back' aren't working at all.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] schlesh436:
Just get with the program and root your prime. If I ever brick which I probably won't. I smash it send it to squaretrade
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] StupidIdea:
You have to install SuperSU instead of Superuser if Back is not working. Superuser has bugs on ICS.

1) Install SuperSU from market

2) Start SuperSU, update binary when asked.

After that you can uninstall Superuser.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theandies:
I want to root but not just yet. I'm definitely going to wait a while to unlock.

I'll have to remember this app when I do.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stanglifemike:
Just grabbed the Lite version but can't hide the Status Bar on any screen or any app.... Not sure if I'm missing something obvious or it just isn't working for me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] schlesh436:
USB debugging. you have to turn it on its say on the beginning screen
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] schlesh436:
What are you waiting for?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] schlesh436:
Bump
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stereotada:
this is a really cool app. spent quite a bit of time setting it up to work how i like it.

I only have a couple small problems though.

First, it seems that live wallpapers wont take up the whole space, leaving a small bar at the bottom of the screen black compared to setting a normal wallpaper which only leaves a barely noticeable bar.

Second, whenever you go into a menu (while your taskbar is hidden) that dims the screen, it leaves the bottom portion where the taskbar used to be undimmed.

anyone else encounter these and got it fixed?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] schlesh436:
I just uninstalled and reinstalled super user and everything seems to be working fine now. Also make sure USB debugging is on. If you write the developer he will get back to you quickly. I got a response in a couple of hours.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] StupidIdea:
Sent you PM.

I tried contacting developer of Simple Image Wallpaper, but got no response. You can try too, it should not be difficult to fix.

Menu dimming on the other hand probably is Android thing and I'm not sure if that can be fixed without modding the system.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] schlesh436:
try contacting gesturecontrol developer he got back to me within a few hours
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] schlesh436:
Couple new things play/pause, media forward and backwards ..........Awesome
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] schlesh436:
and you can now go back and forth to different opened apps
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stanglifemike:
I replied to your PM. Thought I would also post it here for others interested in my issue to also know exactly what is going on with mine in case anyone else has any ideas as to what the cause of the problem is.

---------------------------

THE PM :

STUPIDIDEA SAID-

I have a few questions.

1) Do other gestures work, Home, Launch?

2) Do Back gesture work?

3) If you do Bar gesture, do you get "Hide Status Bar" toast?

4) Does status bar dissapear and reapper? Or nothing happens at ALL?

I SAID-

Hey. I have not tried any other gestures. The main/only reason I got the app was to hide the Status Bar. I do get the message popup saying Hide Bar and Show Bar when making the gesture (sliding 2 fingers up from bottom border of screen), but the bar never goes away, never flickers, nothing. I do have USB Bugging enabled, and have even tried checking the box for Busybox/custom kernal, even though I'm just rooted on stock rom. Not sure what is going on with mine but would love to have this working. Thanks for contacting me and trying to help me get this working!! Very much appreciated bro!!

END PM

-------------------

I'm now going to try other gestures to see if anything in the app will work for me. Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated. I'd really love to get this working!!!

Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] StupidIdea:
I think I sent you PM, but I post here too. If gesture notification is shown, but it does completely nothing, most probably it is because 'pkill' command is not found on your system.

1) Start Terminal Emulator, type 'pkill', hit Enter. Does it show pkill help?

2) If not, you need to update BusyBox

Market: BusyBox installer

I also recommend installing SuperSU instead of Superuser. Install SuperSU from market. Market: SuperSU

Start it, and update binary when asked. After that start my application and grant access.

You can uninstall Superuser after that if you want.

Let me know if this helps.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] schlesh436:
Try updating there was a update yesterday
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stanglifemike:
Just tried the app again today after I updated it on the Market. I'm getting the same results though.

I didn't post after my last experiences with it. So here is the deal with the latest update, and before the update. All gestures are working for me. The only one I have issues with is the Status Bar. It does hide and show when I ask it to, but with bugs. Everytime it reappears I get the "Preparing external storage", I which I could live with if that was it. Big problem is my wallpaper goes away when the status bar does, just solid black. When the status bar comes back, the stock Asus wallpaper with the field and tree shows up. Hide status bar again, and wallpaper goes black. Bring status bar back and Asus wallpaper comes back.

Pretty strange I thought. Hope you can figure it out. I planned on buying the app to show my support if it worked good. If you can get this straight you get my money :D Again, thanks for the help. Hopefully you troubleshooting mine will help you make the app more stable for future users and then future purchasers of your app. I will definitely be recommending it to my friends as well.
