Guys, good news and bad news.

Good news is, it's available for download at the Samsung Apps store! Just search for "Sketch 'Em" and it should be at the top of the list.

Bad news is, we've only just started experiencing a fatal crash that we have a hard time reproducing. It's memory-related, that much we're sure about. A patch is being worked on right now, but it may be a week before it gets approved in the store.

There are already a couple uploads in the Community section (where users submit their own sketching tutorials), so do take a look if you decide to download the app now even if it's buggy. I hope you enjoy the Yoshi. :)

Here's the app page:

http://www.samsungapps.com/topApps/topAppsDetail.as?productId=G00008853015&listYN=Y

I'll let you all know as soon as word about the patch becomes available.

Also, we're working on that "trace your own pictures" feature, so hold on. ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] aurator:
Downloaded and tried!

Works awesome :D Awesome job..!

Used it for about an hour, I didn't experience a single crash (for now).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] jp.esteban:
Hey thanks. Good to know that it's not more persistent than it already is. Were you the one who uploaded the house sketch? :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] KaranKapoor:
Great app! Looking forward to it!

EDIT 1 - On the Play Store, I mean. :)

EDIT 2 - Try this for those on AOSP-based ROMs... Samsung Apps
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] aurator:
I didn't upload any tutorials yet. I just tried out the In-App tutorials for a couple of minutes and then was sketching random stuff in Free sketching mode :p

I will try to upload some tutorials later on though. Busy with college stuff at the moment :/

Edit 1 : Just a suggestion, maybe you should check from time to time for which User-Posted tutorials should actually remain posted in the community pack?

I just went in again and there's a couple of scribblings submitted in the Community pack.

Edit 2 : I don't know if its a problem with my hardware or something but some times the app would fail to detect the lines which I draw. I drew a line across the screen (I'm pretty sure the pressure was enough to be detected) but only half of it was actually there on the canvas! The other half was, for some reason, not detected!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] jp.esteban:
Yeah, right now we do look through the tutorials and see that some are, well, not quite up to snuff. :) It's our first time working with a server back-end and we do have plans to fill this robust implementation with more features. Meta-tags for sketches that include artist name, upload date, and community rating, are all planned. Hopefully this will help with the as-of-now manual QA checks by the dev team. :D

As for the lines disappearing, yes, it's a big issue right now. However, Samsung calls it a FEATURE. It's a result of the recently-updated event listener implementation by Samsung. If it detects very minor movement upon S-Pen input, it treats it as a long press, not a stroke. We're currently in contact with developers at the Samsung development forums, but without much luck... We're considering rolling back the S-Pen SDK version used in the app to 2.0, which didn't exhibit that behavior, but that will take away features such as S-Pen hover detection and custom mapping of the S-Pen button (yes, we can do that now).

Thanks for the interest!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] aurator:
Well, there's bound to be some problems/bugs/glitches since its a newly developed application.

I'm sure you guys can figure out the ways to make it the best sketching app out there :)

About the S-Pen, I'm not sure if its possible or not but will your degrading to the 2.0 SDK interfere with the normal use of the S-pen too? Like, will the custom mapping of the button be non-functional even out of the app?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] jp.esteban:
We're considering downgrading to S-Pen SDK 2.0, yes. It will not interfere with normal S-Pen usage, but we did have some planned features that make use of the libraries provided by 2.1. We'll see what happens. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] aurator:
I'm looking forward to the updates! :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] jp.esteban:
Bugfix for the crashing is out. :) I wonder if anyone else ever experienced it at all...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] richlum:
Wow. Really cool app!

My drawing skills still look like the product of a 2 year old, but this will hopefully help me to practice a bit more.

Certainly a more productive use of my spare time than playing a game on my Note :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] jp.esteban:
richlum, that's the idea. :)

Also, general announcement: Google Play is reviewing our developer application, will let everyone know ASAP once the app is up there if you prefer getting all your apps from one place (or if, like sujal, you can't access the Samsung App store).

Edit: New video trailer! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMPaPlgNdN4
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Alienizer:
Nice one.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Scott Arten:
Looks promising. Can't be chewed with the Samsung store so well wait for it on play
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] LAKAME_MAN:
tried it.

Nice!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] jp.esteban:
Hello all! Just to update everyone interested in this app, we just got our Google Play account approved! We're gonna upload Sketch 'Em there as soon as we finish an update.

For the record, it doesn't matter to us where you download the app from, as long as you enjoy it. :)

BTW you guys have been uploading some pretty great drawings (except for the one guy who posted a peenor. Not cool!). Keep it up!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] lastnikita:
Why don't you just post it here ?

Hurry up with play store, samsung apps is the worst !
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] jp.esteban:
The company doesn't want the apk flying around even though I know you guys are gonna rip it/back it up anyway. :P
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] jp.esteban:
Hey all! Just released Sketch 'Em on Google Play! We also updated the S-pen SDK to the latest 2.2, making it fully compatible with the new upcoming Galaxy Note 2 features, and fixed the incredibly annoying "sort strokes get deleted" bug. The update is not yet available on Samsung Apps whereas the version on Google Play already has it, so I suggest ditching the former store and getting it on Play. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] jeriz:
its not a how to draw app its more of a drawing game

<to think before you type is like wiping your a** before you visit the toilet>
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Markuzy:
I love it!

The community drawing feature seems to be slow loading though (am on wifi).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] jp.esteban:
While you're right in saying it's more of a drawing game, It's still a how-to-draw app in that its primary focus is on teaching concepts of functional shapes and basic proportions while embedding muscle memory by actually using a real* pen for making strokes. It's a long shot, but we're taking it.

Also, bad analogy?

Thanks for the report! Is it always slow regardless of wifi access point? It's strange, there is an AWS server in Singapore and yet the access is slow for you too.

Does everyone else experience slow loading of community sketches?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] jeriz:
its just a pice of anti humor from a swedish comic, ignor it

but I have to say that some of the drawing examples especially those involving human anatomy are just about the opposit of what you should do if you wanted to learn how to draw

that said it is a good and entertaining app and my intention was not to insult you in any way but my point is still valid

edit: I also have slow loading but its just a minor inconvenience (probably normal lag between sweden and singapore)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KL45SiiK:
This might be a stupid question but so be it. I have an otterbox case on my LTEVO and will the case interfere when trying to make a payment? I don't want to to look stupid trying to make a payment and taking the case off the phone because the little machine couldn't detect the phone/NFC payment or chip or whatever it is.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] krobinso2295:
You know, I don't think that it should, but since the nfc wire thing is in the battery and not in the phone itself I would kinda think that the case itself can interfere with the connectivity of the NFC chip. I guess you just have to try out sorry :confused:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Stupid question? Hell, I still can't figure out how to tell if a store supports NFC payments. And I keep hearing talk of NFC tags,...what the hell does that mean?! :confused: How that for stupid question. ?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KL45SiiK:
Anyone correct me if I'm wrong but AFAIK it should work wherever you see pay pass. The symbol/icon kind of looks like the WiFi icon on its side.

I just tried it, not as fast as I thought and it didn't work. I had to wake my phone, put it on the atm/credit machine, it then asked for pin, then it just hung on the animated WiFi logo... I just swiped my credit card instead...using cruzerlite case.

Just used mine at McDonalds this morning with the case on.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] yunjing7:
I used mine at rite aid today, didnt work at first but the reason was, because the clerk has to switch it to credit or what not. It wont just work at some places, you have to tell them, "credit please". An usually you will hear something on their side and it will tell you to swipe card, then you just tap your phone.

I have a Seidio’s ACTIVE case and it works great.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bjorn60:
Had no problem using mine at McDonald's but messed up the first time I tried it by not holding the phone on the card reader long enough. Once I realized that it works flawlessly.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kornface13:
It definitely doesn't work with all systems that accept paypass. It requires the correct software on the retailers side as well. For example...I went to The Container Store (which fully supports Google Wallet) and tried using my phone. It would beep and my phone would acknowledge that something happened, but it their side couldn't process it. Exact same thing happened at Banana Republic....who also supposedly accepts Google Wallet. I think this will be corrected as time goes on and it's not so "new" anymore though.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trampino96:
Obviously, the Nexus 7 does not have a camera installed on its back side. Can anyone confirm if any barcode scanning apps would work? I know it would be awkward trying to scan a barcode with the front camera, but if anyone knows please reply!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pinshooter:
How would you expect to line up the barcode without being able to look at the screen? I think scanning is out...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
None of the scanning apps allow use of the front facing camera, so unless they decide to add support, they're not going to work.

and it's incredibly unlikely to be honest.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmm200:
Unlikely I agree.

But think about the last time you bought groceries.

The scanner is like a big tablet, and you just pass the item in front of the camera.

I can see no technical reason why that model would not work.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
oh i'm sure it would work with the front camera, but none of the apps support it as far as i know.

I'm sure you could request that the devs add support. up to them if they want to.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] limpet:
A high resolution, autofocus camera is needed to read most barcodes. The front camera might be able to handle QR codes.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trampino96:
Yeaa... I thought about this a few days after i posted this.... Isnt that what phones are for? :P because im not bringing my tablet around anyway.. just thought it would be a cool thing to have, stupid question by my
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rock-&-Roll-Hedgehog:
I don't think it is stupid. It may well be technologically unlikely. But no harm in asking the question. :) And if someone did this I'd be delighted. It would mean I could do my home shopping grocery order much quicker by just standing in my kitchen. I accept however that it is a long shot (very long).
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vd1900:
Dunno knw why they gave a camera on first place..... To create a cheaper tablet.? :p
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] el56:
Isn't it obvious?

Video calls. That appears to be the only real reason, for Skype and other VOIP systems. The resolution and fixed focus would bear that out, too. It's clearly not ment to be used as a regular camera, scanner, etc (though I'm sure someone will figure out how to do it...)

And that's fine with me, because the competition (Kindle Fire, Nook) don't have even that camera.

Scanning apps

There are a couple of scanning apps now for the Nexus 7 such as LearnPad Scanner (I can't post links yet)

Learn pad does work with bar and qr codes. Just scanned my Pepsi bottle.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rock-&-Roll-Hedgehog:
That is cool, sadly I can't get it to read any barcodes though. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. :(
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matchstick:
Worked great for me for scanning in barcode for Google Authenticator.

Are you holding the tablet in the correct orientation (landscape with camera on left when looking at N7) ?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rock-&-Roll-Hedgehog:
Yes I am. It must be me if it is working for everyone else. Or maybe UK barcodes don't work on it. It says it only does one type in its help pages.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seanrowen:
Barcode Scanner+ works with front cameras

Hi, I'm an author of Barcode Scanner. It doesn't use the front camera since only rear cameras are treated as 'real' cameras by Android, and the API for using second cameras appeared later than the API leve the app supports (2.3), which makes it tricker.

We made a 'premium' version that does, among other things, support front-camera-only devices like the Nexus 7.

Search for "barcode scanner plus" on Google Play -- sorry I can't posts links yet.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x52x58:
Sean,

Would it be possible to have the app scan a bar-code using a phone and send the information via Bluetooth to the tablet? That way we have the best of both worlds. I would certianly pay for "Plus" to get this option!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krelvinaz:
Just found this... was looking for a way to scan QR codes for shipping labels into the Nexus 7. Learnscan works good, just takes a bit getting used to lining it up as it is backwards and reversed from what you are used to.

Works good enough in a lit room. Scanning stuff off the screen is easier.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hyrax:
Can you just put the tablet down on the table, bring the product to the camera, and look at the screen to position the barcode?

It seems very doable.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krelvinaz:
you can... in fact that is what I end up doing, but it is much harder than you think it might be. the app changes the camera view by rotating it, so you are working against where you think you should be moving to have you end up seeing....

If you had anything to drink, forget about it...

You have to actually try it to see what I mean... its like driving backwards except the camera view you are looking at is rotated 90 degrees.

the app btw is free, or least the one I tried.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] auveeb:
Good call, didn't see it that way.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MiniAuto:
The problem I found with "barcode scanner" by ZXing was that it did automatically use the front camera but the image was backwards... Simple snuff to sort I shud think :laugh:

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaronisgoodman:
I think you can go to professional modified their place look, by changing the bar code readers and its internal should be able to solve.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chismay:
i dont think it to be needed. especially since most QR codes are being replaced with nfc tags.

using qr codes then would be like using bluetooth instead of wifi-direct:p
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MiniAuto:
What about QR codes in newspapers, on the internet for films money off codes etc.

U can't use NFC then. So what's the alternative??

pic2shop scanner

I recently updated the invaluable Book Catalogue app. It now supports

the pic2shop scanner which, according to the description, has good support

for front facing and fixed focus cameras.

It's true...was never able to scan ISBN barcodes with other apps on the N7.

Pix2ship seems to work well on ISBNs and UPCs even when they are poorly

focused.

Book Catalogue and pic2shop turn the N7 into a very useful workstation;

the front facing camera is ideal for book cataloging.
