When I flashed this on my Note 2 with CM11, it worked perfectly, until I rebooted. Now the app is there, has superuser, and etc., but the keyboard switching functionality is not happening. :(

I would totally buy this app in the store, if it worked. This is the sole functionality that kept me on TouchWiz for so long.

**EDIT**

Ok, so this is strange. It was not working after reboot. I decided to check my setting in the "CM SPen Add-on app, and make sure it was enabled. I launched that app, looked at it (it was enabled, so I changed nothing), and after that, the keyboard switching is working perfectly.

So, it looks like you might need to manually launch CM SPen addon first??? Maybe I have something configured wrong somewhere...
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] springer.music:
I've noticed that it takes some time to acquire root after a reboot. This means that if you take out the spen immediately after the device has booted it doesn't work.

It usually starts working after you see the superuser toast messages for both CM Spen Addon and SPenBoardSwitcher.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] drew071:
Awesome work.Thank you soo much
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] jasonkhoo87:
Same with me.. It's not visible on app drawer.

Edit:

Manually paste and install two file then it work perfectly.

Blocking SPen Command Window

this blocks the command window that shows up when you pull the pen out.

it opens and shut right away. disable the switcher and it works fine.

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] SiNJiN76:
Works great with the My stylus beta keyboard on the Note 4. BTW, the app is not in the playstore.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] LegendK95:
I'll look into that.

I'm happy it does. I'm planning on a partial rewrite of the core of the app in the upcoming weeks, which should resolve some of the issues including:

- Getting rid of the notification on older devices.

- Making the app more battery friendly.

- Solving all the installation issues once and for all.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] slowtdi:
Will this work on a Note 4 running 4.4.4?
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] LegendK95:
In theory, yes. A lot of things can change which will render the app useless. Not to mention the not-so-good installer that I coded in a rush.

I do however, think that the application will work just fine after the (slightly troublesome) installation process.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] slowtdi:
I tried it before you replied, then realized I needed root. I'm not Rooting. Sorry for bothering you.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] SiNJiN76:
Yeah. That definitely is something that I can't wait for. :p I switched ROMs and it is not installing the app. Also, maybe put it back on the Playstore.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] jshare:
I'm running Ditto Note 4 rom (KK 4.4.4) on a GT-N7100.

I can install SPBS3 without a problem but it FCs when I first put it into action e.g. by opening a new Message and pulling out the S Pen.

Not at the moment, no. I have exams upcoming and have to study for them. I'll resume work once I'm done with the exams.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] springer.music:
Just a heads up.

The latest update to CM Spen add-on allows for switching keyboards when inserting/detaching the spen:

works great after reboot

This is exactly what I was looking for.

I've had my Note 3 (SM-N900) for about a month and I haven't used the S Pen much. I've been trying to find inspiration to use it more often as friends who use similar devices claim that it's very useful for them.

I prefer Swiftkey most of the time, but it doesn't have any support for the S Pen. With SPenBoardSwitcher I can use the Samsung keyboard's handwriting recognition when I feel like writing my notes instead of typing them.

It didn't work for me at first. It just switched between "Install Application" and "Launch Application" repeatedly. I almost gave up until I thought to reboot after installing it. Now it works great.

I wanted to donate and I looked for the app in the play store, but it looks like it's been removed for some reason.

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Namensindschallundrauch:
Just for your information: Works without problems on my Note 4 (N910F). Running Echoe Rom. Writing this with MyScript Stylus Beta keyboard at the moment. Much better than the Samsung keyboard because special characters and digits are also recognized.

There are so many benefits of rooting, this is just one additional convenience, thanks a lot, LegendK95.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] dicko101:
No root

No chance this could be made to work on note 4 without root? I haven't had my note 4 long and I'm not quite ready to root just yet, but the feature in the Samsung keyboard for pen detection doesn't work for me, if I slide the pen out it switches to handwriting input briefly before dismissing the keyboard and showing the air command, tapping to dismiss the air command and selecting the text box again just brings back the regular keyboard, its really annoying. Sorry if this has been asked before, or if it's a stupid question, would just like this functionality that is supposed to be built into the Samsung keyboard already.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] gabripranzo:
Sorry, this is Android, if you need to do whatever you want with your device you have to root.

I loved this app, but I can't get it working on Lolipop (using CrashROM currently). So I wonder if I'm doing something wrong or if it just doesn't work with 5.0

I have a roonted note 3 running 4.4.4 and it crashes everytime after installing...used to work on 4.4.2.

Where should I verify the APK be installed...?

Thanks,

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] gabripranzo:
I think this app doesn't work for Android 4.4.4 and Lollipop. It'a a real pity, since it's so useful for every Note user who has a keyboard for S pen and another keyboard for fingers. No new release is expected? Please! ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] XCPTNL:
I really miss this tool. I wish someone would update it so it works on Lolipop devices... it's such a loss not having this switcher working anymore :(

Hey guys, I've updated the application.

Please head on into the note 4 thread http://xdaforums.com/note-4/themes-apps/root-spenboardswitcher-3-1-changing-t3301996

I'm not sure it'll work as expected (the application should be fine, but the installation could not work), but I'm committed to fixing it asap using your feedback, since I don't own a note 3 anymore.

Edit: Updated to 3.2, which should allow the application to be installed on all devices and all versions of android (JB+).

Currently on 4.2.2 version 2.91 LS rom.

Couple of questions. How does one enable the exit button on the browser? Also, Im unable to find the autocomplete fuction on the dialer. On Stock 4.1.2 once you start entering the phone number, after the first 3 digits the other number that start with those digits pop up in the dialer. Cant seem to activate that funcntion on LS. Another question, how does one enable the message / missed cal indicator on locked screen? I can see the battery , time and wifi indicators on the right, but no message or call indicator on the left.

Thank you.
[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
...what is the obsession with them? I have thought this for a long time now, but I simply don't get it. They usually cripple or disable certain UI features and I can't imagine one being used on this phone.

This phone's stock launcher is already super fast and it has tons of options, almost to third party levels. Why would anyone use one on this phone? Is it people who are set in their ways and stubborn? What gives? Am I alone?
[G2 General] margaretiak:
Theming, icons, moar settings, gestures.. dunno whether im weird but I can't see the tons of options. I just see features but these are related to lg apps,not lg launcher ... all i want is..fully working knock on nova+cm ofc
[G2 General] mky4b11:
I really like the Interface on smart launcher. I like how it organizes apps, makes 1 hand operation a little easier for me

But I'd rather have knock on to wake haha, so sticking with stock until we can get some custom wake options with a custom kernel or something
[G2 General] REDFOCZ:
My biggest reason is to be able to set grid size. Now theming is another good one, but I guess just familiarities. I've been using them for years.

Sent from my Galaxy S4
[G2 General] x714x:
Not sure about smart launcher but with Nova you can knock to wake and knock to sleep if you do it on the statusbar
[G2 General] d.cortez:
ditto.grid size provides more options and control over widget placement. i like simple, functional home screens: time, date, calendar and weather. also prefer to hide the status bar, the option to use multiple docks (vs. on-screen shortcuts) and the ability to hide the dock when not in use. i use gestures to display the the notification screen and dock when needed. simply stated: i can't accomplish this with the stock launcher. :)
[G2 General] pimfram:
I'm surprisingly content with the stock launcher. Usually there's something that annoys me enough to change but it hasn't happened yet.
[G2 General] coolkatz321:
Does anyone know if there's a way to replace the dialer? I think it's ugly and much prefer the one I used on CM (from my Nexus).
[G2 General] imucarmen:
never found a good one

I hate all stock launchers put out by all the big compaines. LG, Samsung, Motorola, htc, sony, etc...they all suck. It never takes me more than about 5 minutes to put my third party launchers on. I own about all the major ones and even some lesser known ones but my three favorite are next, tsf, and adw ex. For me the desktop like gridless homescreen of next and tsf have kept me with them for a long time now. Being able to size widgets according to your screen and not according to some set grid is so nice.

There are so many reasons to use third party launchers over any stock one but most of those have been listed already. Like themes, gestures, animations, tons of settings to change, and more. but really, if you like the stock launcher, stick with it.
[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
Thanks for all of the replies guys. I see all your points and was just curious. I'm quite happy with the stock launcher myself.
[G2 General] jayochs:
the stock launcher is amazing... except it redraws all the damn time, and it's even worse on Verizon. I love stock launcher but i simply can't use it without wanting to throw the phone. I use nova, and it hasn't redrawn on me once.
[G2 General] kcharng:
You probably know the answer. Being a forum member since 2008. Customising, optimising and tinkering with your phone is part of xda cultures or else you wouldn't be here.

-LG G2
[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
To be honest, I've had a ton of phones since then and I never run a third party launcher more than a day. I just don't like them for whatever reason.

I've rooted every phone I've owned, flashed ton of roms, mods, etc. Yet I have always preferred stock launchers. Just how its been for some reason lol.
[G2 General] kcharng:
With nova you can knock anywhere not just the status bar. Knock to wake is working fine without customisation, knock to sleep you will need to download an app call screen off and set double tap shortcut to launch that app.

-LG G2

---------- Post added at 02:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:09 PM ----------

Most who use launcher brought the app at one time or another before G2. Like me they use launchers to customise, pick and choose features to operate their phone a certain way.

The beauty with using launchers is that no matter which phone you end up with, it doesn't matter. You can change brand upgrade android os and keep their screen the same.

-LG G2
[G2 General] ant78:
I do like the stock launcher just wish I could load an icon pack ?
[G2 General] bwhite757:
My main reason is gestures. With Nova I swipe up for app drawer, down for notifications. I've grown so used to this that I will give up whatever special features a stock launcher has.

Plus I delete my app drawer button so if someone is looking at my phone they can't be nosey and look through my apps that I have downloaded.
[G2 General] jayochs:
main reason I didn't use nova before... bc of that gray status bar and gray navbar lol you've gotta root and run the black bar mod, man. looks so much better. that gray is so outta place. now nova looks like stock android.
[G2 General] ant78:
What clock widget are you using?
[G2 General] slammer1:
I'd like to know what clock widget that is as well??
[G2 General] Crooke356:
Looks. I just don't like the looks of LG's UI. Or anyone's aside from vanilla for that matter.. As others have stated, the ability to customize almost any aspect of the interface is a big contributor to my love of Android. With stock launchers, I lose some of that ability. Hiding the notification bar is pretty important to me as well. Not sure why but I don't like the look of a different colored bar cluttered with icons at the top of my meticulously arranged home screen lol. Same with nav keys. I use pie. As mentioned by others, I use the 'screen off' app combined with the double tap gesture to retain the knock knock feature.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] edwmsjr:
Just thought I'd throw out a heads-up warning about the 'flip wallet' cases (like the ones on the bottom row of the attached pic). I got one of these for my Note II back when it first came out and quickly realized a major flaw with the design. When you open the cover and fold it back out of the way, it covers the camera. To take a picture with these cases, you literally have to hold the flap half open, half closed with one hand while snapping a pic with the other! If you like the flip wallet style and want one, do yourself a favor and make sure that you get the "S View Cover" instead (like those on the tope row of the attached pic).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
Have the same issue with my gs3
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] edwmsjr:
I mean, seriously...what were they thinking when they made these things. Obviously, they've never tried to use their own product. It just doesn't make sense why you'd make something that would cover up the camera lens. :confused:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] papaavi:
Do the cases stay closed by magnets?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
No its a flap, but it does stay closed.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] daavy:
i went to the vzw store and looked at the flip cover... the one i saw has a window pane that will not obstruct the camera.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] christianpeso:
Verizon stores have the flip cases in-stock? The one with the window?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Stone 13:
I checked 3 different VZW stores and none had the S View flip cover. BUT on a whim, I stopped by my local AT&T store and I was able to buy one. There's no physical difference between the VZW & AT&T Note III so you can buy the cover from either. It's $65 at the AT&T store, but I wanted one so I went ahead and bought it.

The flip cover is pretty cool, you remove the battery cover and the flip cover snaps on in it's place, you need to keep the plastic S View window clean if you want to use your camera though....
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] papaavi:
What's the s window made out of? Sturdy plastic? Flimsy plastic or hopelessly optimistic glass?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Stone 13:
It's definitely not glass, but I wouldn't exactly call it flimsy plastic. Probably somewhere between flimsy & sturdy plastic IMO....
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Gvaz:
My coworker has the one for the S4 and it feels like....a book binding. Maybe as durable as one but thinner.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] papaavi:
I purchased the black s-view case for my white note 3 today at a Verizon store (25% off with work discount). Nice case and the black-white contrast is damn sexy.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] TomN:
I picked up a black S-View cover also and I'm really trying to like it. I love the way it makes the device seem so slim when the cover is closed, and the display through the window is pretty cool, but having to always flip it open is a little tedious. That and I'm not convinced that using the camera with it folded over won't degrade the images. I guess using the camera closed negates that issue, but it's a shame to not be able to use the whole screen when taking pictures.

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] envy5000:
Hello, is there any method of returning my Photon Q from 4.1.2 to 4.0.4 or 4.1.1? Are there any 4.1.1 ROMs or CWM recoveries out there? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
You can use RSD lite to flash back to stock (ICS or JB) Read more here.

There's a few TWRP backups floating around... Not sure if anyone has uploaded any CWM backups...
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] envy5000:
RSD Lite won't allow me to flash anything but 4.1.2, it gives the error:

=

Flashed flashing process. 1/23 flash partition "gpt_main0.bin"-> Phone returned FAIL.

Long story short I am attempting to move carriers on a phone I bought off of ebay. To do that I need to "find" something.

Originally, I was rooted, unlocked and had CWM with an external backup.

I got stuck trying to RSD Lite back down to 4.0.4 and to RSD Lite back to stock 4.1.2. I'm thinking that I will get root again, install TWRP, create backup, TWRP back to ICS, get the thing I am looking for, TWRP back to 4.1.2, RSD Lite back to 4.1.2, reroot, install CWM and use an older CWM backup on my SD card to get back to the start. After that I plan to use an NV writer/reader and QPST to finish this. :eek:
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
You get that flash gpt error when trying to flash the JB FXZ image? Were you using the right one?

Either way, depending on where you are the legality of what you want to do is questionable and not welcome on XDA... Just FYI.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] envy5000:
Yes, the stock FXZ 4.0.4 file in RSD Lite 6.1.5, gaah I hate that I can't post/edit for 5 minutes.

Hey, chrisngod posted the MSL reader in this very Photon Q forum. I'm not the first nor am I the last to move carriers. The only difference is I actually paid for the phone and I don't intend to sell it to anyone else. In terms of moral ground I don't think anyone here at xda should complain.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
I see you're just going to attack my comment about you doing potentially illegal things.

nvram, qpst, etc... are questionably legal stuff, let's not argue about it.

You should be able to use the RSD Lite application to flash JB. If you are downgrading to ICS, there's some additional lines which you have to remove from the XML file.

Make sure you are using a new version of RSD (6.0+)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] envy5000:
Theoretically wouldn't using TWRP to downgrade to ICS not require anything other than root?

Part of the problem is I cant post or edit for five minutes between each reply. That makes this discussion difficult.

I think in general my original question refers to something that is perfectly legal. It could easily be said that modifying the user experience of any computer product at all is illegal take for instance anything Apple. Up until 2012 it was commonly stated that even unlocking a phone could be illegal. Axiomatically anyone may legally program their legally owned phone. This is an entire forum dedicated to hacking/creating useability out of legally purchased merchandise. Consider the first thread in the general forum which is physically adding a sim card slot to the phone to able to change carriers at will. I think it's a tad bit silly to approach things thinking the user intends to something illegal or with malice.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
My point is, don't discuss it. Drop it.

Use RSD to restore to stock JB. Enjoy.

Edit - you can restore any backups you find, and down/upgrade at will. If you find the backup for ICS, I think there is one for TWRP floating around.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] envy5000:
This isn't working, as I and other users have stated in other threads except to go to versions above 4.1.2 and up.

Will try using TWRP and report back if one can downgrade successfully.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Are you trying to get JB or ICS with RSD?

JB should work no problems. Downgrading to ICS, there's an additional set of lines to remove from the XML file. I'll try to dig them up and have Skrilax post it in his thread.

Good luck with TWRP.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kabaldan:
gpt_main0 can't be downgraded. Remove its line from the 4.0.4 FXZ XML file so RSD Lite does not try to flash it. Then you should be able to flash the 4.0.4 FXZ over 4.1.2 on phone just fine.
