[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danielkuhlman:
I can almost guarantee there will be at least one cdma variant if they do release multiples. Yeah, gsm is great, blah blah blah. However, have you actually seen the four major carriers footprints in the us? Verizon has the best coverage, plain and simple. Why would google want to miss out on all of the potential Verizon buyers? Sure, we could switch to a different carrier if we REALLY wanted a nexus device, but who wants a spiffy nexus phone without having the coverage to use it? Not to mention my unlimited data plan is going to have to be pried from my cold dead hands.

Also, LTE is the future, and big red is winning that race by a long shot. Google can't ignore all of this...

I call bull**** on releasing only unlocked gsm nexus phones. Only time will tell I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Because Verizon only wants things done their way, and they haven't exactly had the best relationship with Google. It's not at all inconceivable that Google wouldn't want to partner with Verizon for a Nexus again in the future.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danielkuhlman:
They may not have the best relationship, but google in all of its holiness, is still a business. Businesses like money. Ignoring Verizon is ignoring money. I understand gsm far outreaches cdma globally, but google is a us based company. The pros of having a cdma variant outweigh the cons, I think.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] snowglyder:
They will still have plenty of Android devices, but they're not a good fit for the Nexus devices. I could be wrong, but last I checked you can't buy an unlocked CDMA device and only the carriers sell them, which would rule out being able to sell them in the Play Store. They may still have a "Nexus" device with a different radio, but it will only be sold in their stores.

They'll never give Google full control over a phone on their network under their current business model.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danielkuhlman:
If we have to buy it straight from Verizon then it wouldn't really bother most people I think. People aren't using Verizon because of their great customer service, prices, or even most of their devices. People use Verizon because it works just about everywhere, so an unlocked phone really wouldn't make a difference. I sure as hell wouldn't be able to use one from the play store, I live in the stix. The only other cell phone provider that gets decent service within a roughly 35 mile radius is alltel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thos25:
Looks like they are going to start prying that plan away from you sooner than later. I don't have the desire to link to the other thread talking about it at the moment, but there are multiple threads regarding the fact that Verizon has stated that they will no longer honor grandfathered unlimited plans after their next renewal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hev88:
Ya two tablets 7" and 10". For the phones im guessing... one with a slide out keyboard. One with capacitive or hard buttons. And lastly one with software buttons. I figure that covers the market pretty nicely. A flavor for everybody

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bozzykid:
I don't think you will ever see a Nexus device with a slide out keyboard.

---------- Post added at 11:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:24 AM ----------

I think you are confusing the information that was reported. They reported Google will sell Nexus devices on their Play Store. They will certainly still partner with providers like Verizon to make them available on carriers. The two aren't mutually exclusive.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nodstuff:
Completely agree about the slide out keyboard, never going to happen

Disgusting things anyway!

As per your second point, the information given was insinuating that the new nexuses will be released for GSM -only-

That they will sell them unlocked, that isn't something that vzw or sprint want, unlocked cdma devices on their network.

Anyway is there such a thing as an unlocked cdma device?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hev88:
While I agree that slide out keyboards are disgusting what other way to corner the market is there. A device for everyone's taste... like I said I hate them but some people swear by them.

Sent from my Maguro
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danielkuhlman:
Yeah, I've been posting in that thread too. Looks like I'll be switching to a crappier gsm service sooner than I'd hoped.

Defeat :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nodstuff:
Crappier GSM??

GSM > CDMA
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Clearly. But don't count on it to be a Nexus or be sold in the Play Store. Of course there will still be Android devices on Verizon. Google won't stop licensing Android to the OEMs that sell carrier branded devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moparfreak426:
i aggree slide out keyboards aren't that appealing but a flip open keyboard a la lg Genesis = sweet. wish there was some development for it though
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danielkuhlman:
Didn't make myself clear. There are zero gsm providers around me that get close to service I get with big red. So gsm is crappier for me atm.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moparfreak426:
same here! no gsm networks except Maude two major cities I'm between (Knoxville, Chattanooga)... i am on us cellular (cdma) but i 95% of tune roam off Verizon
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] E15i:
Do we really want another WP7 devices? you know what I mean :D

It will not be any different than the other android, also for any device you can use AOSP rom that look just like ICS with some stuff, so why to make 5 more nexus devices then? I mean try ti remember the G1 or DEV phone 1 and 2, in the firs place they ware made more for Devs, and geeks, why to change it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danielkuhlman:
Not all users flash custom roms though. I personally think multiple nexus devices would be awesome. Different devices for different needs. Hell, maybe they'll do so well manufacturers will get rid of their touchwiz/sense/blur bull****. I doubt it, but I'm a glass half full kind of guy :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] starkruzr:
Users of CM9-based ROMs -- what are you using to replace the functionality of S Memo, etc?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] knightnz:
Quill, LectureNotes, Sketchbook, etc.

There's plenty of alternatives.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cruno91:
Do they have as good of a brush and colour selection as Samsung's apps? And what about pressure sensitivity? Pressure sensitivity is GREAT for writing Kanji.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Goodm7sn:
i am very interested in this topic as well , would be great if people who tried alternative apps indicate the pros/cons and compatibility with cm9
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aalupatti:
i would love to see palm reject in cm
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] knightnz:
Varies from app to app, but yes.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] starkruzr:
What are you using that has the same pressure sensitivity, organizational abilities, cloud sync abilities, and intent support (i.e. exporting/importing to/from pictures, etc.) as S Memo?

I ask because I'd really like to give a CM9 ROM a try but need to know I'll have the pen support I've come to depend on.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] knightnz:
I wasn't aware that S-Memo supported cloud sync, it's not a feature I have any interest in using.

Lecturenotes will upload to an Evernote account and will import existing images.

Just search on the market for "stylus" and see what pops up.

Jotter

Writepad

Quill

Skitch

LectureNotes

SketchBook Mobile

Samsung S-Memo (No idea if this version would work on CM9, it's not available to my country)

Omnisketch

If you heavily rely on the native Samsung apps though, then I'd not recommend switching to CM9.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
Unfortunately some of the "stylus" search results are designed for "fake styluses" on tablets. :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] knightnz:
True. The ones I've listed are ones that work properly with the Note stylus. (Or did when I tried them anyway). They mostly support pressure sensitivy when it's useful for them to do so. Palm-detection is pretty hit & miss.

I think Skitch is about the only "generic" input app in the list.

I'm not aware of anything that replicates _all_ of the functionality that the native Samsung apps do (particularly the versions in the ICS release), but as I mainly just want to use the device instead of carting around a pen+paper to make quick notes, or draw (very poor) pictures when I'm idling, the alternatives work fine for me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] garytube:
Edit: Dame it, it's not ics compatible :(

Hi guys,

I'm using this app

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aalupatti:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] noa.tranter:
After trying most of the list, my favourite is LectureNotes... It seems to have the best sketching features, reasonable import/export and pretty much suits my needs to the extent that I would choose it over s- memo :D

But that is just my opinion... Try a bunch out and see what works for you

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rlaw:
I restored it with titanium backup. Works fine.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] freedomispopular:
Yeah, hopefully Papyrus will have ICS support soon. It's awesome.

Very good application! I'm using it on latest cm9 nightly and it perfect. If only we could have s-pen support some day.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] agozie:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] benrees21:
What about an app to replicate the screenshot function so you can draw on it and save it?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sotiris20:
I don't think there is something like what you want.

My idea is:

Grab a screenshot using Power button.

Open it using a Photo editor app. (like PicSay)

Save it.

More time needed, i agree! But what can we do... a small drawback for ICS!!!

Hope the s-pen factionality comes soon!

Notes mobile dpi 266 or less it supports gestures like crossing out!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rathian:
I've been on CM9 since Day 3 i got my note... I tried a few alternatives to Smemo which i dug up from XDA site.... in my honest opinion, it highly depends on what function you are most in need of before you decide which app is the best for you...

my personal preference is Freenote... the learning curve is steep and the interface is not as polish as some of the apps out there, still needs lots of work on the UI side.... however, they have a great widget that allows u to scroll through your drawings right on ur home screen... meaning, if you jotted down some todo list (like groceries), you can find them on ur home screen widget..

to me the widget was a plus point... the app also supports pressure sensitive Spen as well... so my drawings actually turn out to have thick and thin variations to my line based on how hard i press... and the variation amount can be controlled too...

baseline is that freenote is a good app that is very close to Smemo, minus the polish UI...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] madekala:
Im running CM9 Nightly and using Jotter. Only thing that annoys me to the point that im considering going back to GB roms is that when usin S-pen if i touch the screen with my finger/palm/whatever the pen stops working. Is this working as intended or am I doing something wrong?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cybriks:
That's actually what made me revert from the otherwise fabulous Paranoid Android (CM9-based) to a different ICS. S-pen works flawlessly on eg Rocket.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DaanJordaan:
Gonna file a bugreport on their forum just waiting for my account to get activated.

Also I'm gonna do a feature request. To choose your own backgrounds instead of the preset ones.

Shouldn't be too hard to do I guess.

Now just hope it's doable to kill the bug on AOSP.

Maybe it doesn't work because it's coded with the TouchWiz framework.

Sure looks like they used the S-Pen SDK, if you look at the "toolpicker" and leather notebook style.

Those are exactly the same as in S-Memo.

---------- Post added at 03:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:38 AM ----------

What the!? Someone in the ParanoidAndroid thread just said palmrejection works on that rom!

Flashing NOW!!! AAAAAAAAH!!!

No seriously that would be pretty cool:)

---------- Post added at 03:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:16 AM ----------

It doesn't work... It would've been quite strange if it did.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aalupatti:
The issue that u guys are talking is absence of palm reject feature. this is coded into touch wiz framework.

Hence I don't think this will work with any of the asop roms, unless the opendesign project is completed.

@Galaxy Note™…
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Lance Uppercut:
Jotter has palm rejection.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] blitzkriegh:
Sorry but what is `palm rejection ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] richlum:
I actually think Freenote is better than S Memo (apart from the polished UI).

With SMemo, if you insert a picture, you can't change it once you've inserted it.

Freenote inserts each picture as a separate layer which you can resize, edit, move etc. at any time later on.

Also, the ease with which you can edit and highlight your notes is far superior to S Memo IMHO.

I made a video of some of the features I like about Freenote here as many people I've talked to didn't realise it had these features (and it isn't the easiest to work out if oyu don't spend the time to go through all of the options).

HTH,

Rich
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aalupatti:
Correct but none of the ASOP roms can support this feature as its a touchwiz feature.

The phone is able to identify between your palm and the stylus.

So when the stylus is very close or touching the screen, the screen and the backlit keys do not respond to any touches . This makes it possible to rest your palm on the screen when you write with the stylus.

( but remember palm reject feature is activated only when the stylus is very close to the screen or touching it)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rebista:
I am not on CM but suppose this app will work as well. Recently discovered:

Write from styluslabs.

Neat handwriting, and something that is important to me, the ability to select parts of the doc and move them around.

Write at the moment is beta and free (because of beta?)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] underlines:
I'm wondering what the dependencies are for the S-Memo APK to run? Maybe the twframework-res.apk?

And I'm further wondering why we can't just copy the dependencies for the S-Memo into the system and run the original APK instead of finding alternatives with either no pressure-sensitivity, no palm-rejection or ugly UIs at all?

Can someone cure my dumbness :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cybriks:
Theoretically yes. Practically as well -- as long as you don't use a CM9-based ROM and the s-pen. At least for me, when I write with the s-pen and touch the screen with another part of my hand, the s-pen isn't recognized any more. As soon as I stop touching the screen, it's working again.

So obviously, touching the screen disables s-pen-input.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] starkruzr:
The main problem with Freenote for me is that the UI, beyond being badly designed, is written in broken English that's really hard to understand.

Starting to gravitate towards Jotter. Have there been any other developments since I started this thread?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aalupatti:
Palm Rejection works with cm and other asop roms.

In Free note the hardware buttons are not disabled but on screen palm Rejection works

Lecture notes pro both palm Rejection and hardware button disable works

Don't use jotter as there is no free version to even text.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] milestoner:
Would you care to explain how you set up Lecture Notes so that palm rejection works reliably? Last time I tried on ParanoidAndroid 0.4 two weeks ago I couldn't get this feature to work. Since it's a pain to write without palm rejection I'm on a stock based ROM now.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aalupatti:
the reason it dint work at that time was beocz previous paranoid roms till 0.4 did not support it.

However the current release has incorporated the changes from CM which makes stylus recognition work better.

Before if stylus recongnition is turned on and when palm touches the screen , the input did not work. However this issue is solved by one of the devs...

In the setting > Input > use stylus detection

Again dont foget u have use either imilka's 0.5 version or STAXXTANIUM PARANOIDANDROID. V1.6a

Also works with any other recent ASOP based roms.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] THUDUK:
I use the pen constantly, in fact go through so many screen protectors....

I just can't find the pen fluidity on cm9 roms to be as natural as with Sammy based roms, especially 4.0.4 which are just starting to arrive it feels even smoother, I think this is something cm9 well hopefully work on, as I like the small memory size and core Google feel. I can imagine a lot of people don't bother with the pens button either, but on Sammy roms, anywhere you can double click, hold double tap, I use the quick smemo all the time.
