Oh...Never thought about this :D

Choosing an icon could not be hard/long to implement, but I need to know a thing: these "themed icons" are a normal JPG/GIF/PNG files in some reachable folder(s)??

I admit I never used such things....
[Android Software Development] beautifulsun:
Why icons aren't really black and white but only undertoned?
[Android Software Development] emandt:
Do you want a really B&W icons?

I could add a "Saturation" option to let the user choose how much coloured could be the icons ;)

Great app currently testing on my note 2. This app is what was missing on Aosp roms, I was using spenboard switcher and GMD SPen control both are nice but you blow them away and 1 app vs 2. I currently have a vzw note 4 waiting for root but am considering using the note 2 until then because of your app
[Android Software Development] emandt:
Note 4 RuLeZ with all its SPen sensors (tilt and rotation of stylus) but it's hard to implement in my App without have a Note 4 during development.

I'm happy to know I helped few old Note 2 to continue their lifes :D hahahahah
[Android Software Development] jlavallee25:
Well when it gets rooted I'll be happy to test for you
[Android Software Development] @BB:
i'm not sure how developers implement theming to be able to customize icons and use icon sets found in the Play Store. I "will " say that you can see this in many third party launchers like Nova Launcher (my personal preference), APex Launcher, etc.

Running Temasek's v10.8 CM12.1 with SPenCommand v1.2.29 and looking good...
[Android Software Development] phurya:
look...its great that you spend time and have done something all aosp users have been waiting for... but 4.99 euros to get the app? I have bought dozens of apps in Playstore and never payed that much for a single app... I do think you have done a great job but, im sorry, im not going to spend that much on a important, yet small and so simple app, I will keep living without pen.
[Android Software Development] emandt:
It's your choice ;)

Just for the others who could think the same:

- (events) Note Buddy - Pro: 2,83 Euro (ugly menus and few features)

- (gestures) GMD SPen Control: 4,12 Euro (well done but only Gestures at 90% of SPenCommand price)

- (power management only on TW ROMs) Spen Power Saving Widget: 1,19 Euro

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

Sum is greater than 4,99 Euro and if you want more like:

- personalized cursor

- personalized AirCommand

- editing screenshots taken on the fly with pessure capability

- quick notes (aka "PostITs") with drawing capabilities

- full touschscreen and keys disabled for fingers while active for stylus

- open and edit an Image and drawing over it using stylus pressure

.......there is only one App which does all this things in one time on unofficial ROMs:

SPenCommand

.

One App (which not drains battery) to do anything.

Thank you for your condivision.

However 300 downloads/payments in 9days show that the App is special and unique.

Thanks to all other supporters in the last 8 month of work! :good:
[Android Software Development] ox_eye:
Hi,

I bought the app today for my Note 3. In the main windows under "minimum requirements check " I have S-Pen device not found.

How can that be because I have a Note 3 with S Pen?
[Android Software Development] phurya:
...sorry, still not convinced. I had note buddy for free, the others never had interest for me, so you missed the point...300 downloads in 9 days is near 1500 euros, and i have to work almost 1 month to earn that, so sorry, but you have lost me on that one...but as you say, its a unique and special app, so you can put at 4.99 or even more, sure you will get a lot of money for it, lots of people will buy it, you dont really need my money, and im still not going to spend it on your app.
[Android Software Development] emandt:
Which part doesn't convince you?

A mathematic sum? ;)

If you do not include the Pro version of other Apps you do a mistake because the free version has less features than the Pro.

So you are using many free apps to have 10/20% of what SPenCommand does? Good for you. I envy developers who have put their Apps for free even if many work was done to create them. I hope you notice that you're using for free a lot of work done by others. You feel it right?

It's your choice ;)

What's the point? Money?

I worked for 8 months to create this App, so following YOUR calculations: 1500*8 months I should earn at least 12000 Euro to be at fair. Can I reach this number? I don't know. You know that? LOL

Even many Beta Testers said me they won't money back because they understand how much work was done for this App....and one of them said a special phrase: "it's just like two beers, I don't want money back even if I helped you"

Think about that :angel:
[Android Software Development] szunyi77:
That's right! SpenCommand worth the price! Very cool! I also tried Note buddy, cm Add-on, but so far they are not as good as the SpenCommand!

Galaxy note 2, Team UB rom 5.1.1 Lollipop
[Android Software Development] ox_eye:
I bought this app today for 4,99 €.

But its not working on my Note 3 with latest CM 12.1. It was a clean install two times.

- I got a forced close so often

- It doesnt matter if I check "start after reboot". After next reboot the checkbox is unselected again.

- Nothing happens if I remove the S Pen, but quick menue is activated

And now? What can I try?

I am on LL 5.1.1 How can I get aircommand to popup when I extract SPen

I got just a notification....

thanks

BTW: I pay for it and it is great so far, thank you for that.
[Android Software Development] emandt:
Hello.

It's a simple option in SpenCommand Settings --> QuickMenu --> the first option ;)
[Android Software Development] enotar:
that is just incredible, thank you

Now another subject, I have sometimes hard time to open aircommand ;I click few times doesn't work, I double click and it works sometimes, any suggestion?

I think I misunderstood the way it open.

Another last point after reboot is not working, I have to enable one more time

I think seLinuxmodechanger is reinforcing enforcing after reboot
[Android Software Development] emandt:
It works like in the Stock ROM: put the stylus near the screen and then press+release stylus button. Simply that.

It's usually an Android SELinux issue.

Avoiding technical things I think SPenCommand has asked you something about SELinux at first launch. Am I right? You should answer "YES" ("Yes I want let SpenCommand managing SELinux for me"). If you choosed "NO" you can go in "Settings --> Advanced" and enable relative checkbox.

Be sure to have downloaded version "...1.2.29b_pp" or newer.
[Android Software Development] enotar:
I have :1.2.29c_pp

Do I really need SELinuxmodechanger?
[Android Software Development] emandt:
Nope, from 1.2.29b it should not be needed it.

All 5 users with the same starting problem (the needed to kill and restart the app after each reboot) said me that the new B version has resolved the issue.
[Android Software Development] enotar:
I have c version and I have to relaunch the app after each reboot or it doesn't work. Just launch not reinstall clicking on the Icon.

Strange because I get the 2 notifications for SU request and app launch but it doesn't work so I launch the app and done it works.

Something is missing.

It is like clicking on the pen I have to do it 5 or 6 times

Anyway this is great..... I enjoy it Keep up the great work, maybe writing recognition is too much to ask?.......

Someone have already tried SPenCommand on N7000 and they said 90% of features are avaiable.

N7000 lacks of attach/detach sensor but all others should work.

They have notice me that to open the QuickMenu it is needed to double press stylus button, but it works finally.

I can't suggest you to buy it if I'm not sure.

Try to ask in the Community if some N7000 user could confirm it works fine. I haven't info about this.

I just stumbled on to this app from the temesek thread and downloaded from the link in OP. While the screenshots are nice to look at, it tells me nothing as for how well it works or if I like it enough to pay. Yet when I installed it, it doesn't work without paying for it.. At $6-8, I can't justify that on something I can't try first. I don't mind spending on apps that I use, but I expect to be able to try them first. If that's possible let me know.

EDIT: For anyone having trouble with this app on cm12.1 Note 4, look back a couple pages for spencommand version 1229_pp.apk (ie no "b" or "c"). Install that instead of 1229c. No more FC's and it's working great!

I'm on welfare & I think SPC is worth it. About all I'd want extra is ability to backup!restore my setup after flashing new ROMs. It's been flawless for me on Temasek's 12.1. (Many versions)

I figure we can look &see what it does & buy if we want. If it doesn't live up to the rep, do the refund. *****ing about price without trying it sounds cheap.

Emandt has been very good about support - and very up front about how he got treated by Google. His Google+ site and this thread seem to be working well for support.

I would think, if you ttry the app and don't like it, you could simply ask for your money back, but so far, everyone else seems impressed with what we got.

---------- Post added at 12:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:26 PM ----------

Maybe an 'easy' way for a trial version would be to limit the licence time to (say) 1 week then it's "Pay or don't Play"? Just thinking it might save on extra coding to restrict features... :D
[Android Software Development] Soundy106:
In fact, when Play Store first started giving him issues, he offered refunds to anyone who had already paid for it, as he thought he might have to stop development, or at least pause for a while, or start all over.

I don't know if anyone took him up on that, but I know a lot of people (including me) replied on that thread telling him his work was appreciated and no refund was necessary.

I know he would love to offer it through Play Store just to make it all easier, as adding in the PayPal support has been a hassle and taken away from actually improving the app, but Google literally left him no other option.

I have a quick couple of questions, I'm currently on Sac's 4.4.4 Note 4 TW ROM with air command but loved your app because of the ability to change shortcuts, so I don't know if being on a TW ROM might be causing my problems. Currently everytime I attempt to take a screenshot through the app it crashes, and if I try to include system apps in the shortcuts (for Action Memo) the app crashes, is there possibly a settings I have wrong that may be causing this? Also is there a way to save the quick memo? It took me a while to figure how to delete it but I still am not sure how to save. Thanks in advance
[Android Software Development] emandt:
What is your licensed email address? Please write me a PM with the address and I'll try to help you. (I already lost my time few times answering and resolving problems to people who neither have bought the App, and a TouchWiz user who have bought it it's a bit strange)
[Android Software Development] emandt:
I suppose TouchWiz uses the same SPenCommand "gesture" to take Screenshots, so maybe this behaviour could create problems.

At this moment I cannot test on a TW ROM, but I'll try it ASAP.

When a QuickMemo contains something it is saved when Minimized.

The two ways to delete a QuickMemo are:

- using the Rubber button to clear all content and then Minimize it (in this way the QuickMemo is empty and it is deleted when minimized)

- holding down minimizing button

In all other cases the QuickMemo is saved when minimized.

I'll implement few specific TouchWiz options to disable some SPenCommand feature if the user wants to use the Stock one or if it couldn't be disabled.

[Android Software Development] juuce79:
Hi, I've sent you a private message but you haven't replied so I'll try here... I bought this app on Google PlayStore for 5 euros and I loved the app and I can still use that version without problem however if I try to update with the newer version you have here then it says that I don't have a license... I guess all you need to do is add my email address to your list of licensed users so could you do that please as I'm not fond of paying for something and then having that item taken away from me just weeks after paying for it. You have my email in your private messages... Waiting patiently
[Android Software Development] 12gage:
I selected a background for the quick menu but there's delay when first pulling out the spen. When first pulled out there no background, if I close it then reopen with the button then it appears. I figured it was because the image was too large (1048) so I re-sized to 300x300, but then the image was off center, any suggestions?
[Android Software Development] emandt:
Please try with a 600x600. Image size depends of DPI and screen resolution. 300x300 is enough for my Note 2 but I don't know the right size on Note 3/4, it's new even for me...so we need to do some test. However a squared image is needed.
[Android Software Development] ravijani:
hi resolutions are needed like below described so pls test and reply if those works :

Note 2 : 300x300

Note 3 : 600x600

Note 4 : 1200x1200

Hope it works and pls select a square image as author says. Thank you.
[Android Software Development] 12gage:
Thank you for the response, I still have the issue with it being off center. When ful sized it's centered but it won't display when the Spen is first removed, like there's a delay because of the size. When resized (square 600x600 with logo centered) it's off center.

**sorry for the dup's on the first screenshot, tapatalk error**
[Android Software Development] emandt:
Could you send me the full size image at my email address? (you can press the "Send email to author" button in "About" section of the App) I'm curious to try that image why it has so much problems.

[Android Software Development] TodWulff:
Just a quick note to say 'Thank you!!' to the dev and beta testers.

This is a robust solution to return SPen functionality and usefulness back to the levels desired for many of those of us who migrated away from Sammy's TW roms.

While not free, it is totally worth the price being asked...

I am sure as time goes on, we'll see official app support on more Note 4 derivatives (i.e. I've the SM-910P running CM12.1 (CMRemiX v4.9)) as soon as CM provides stable builds.

Too bad Google postured you into having to distribute the app externally and implement a remuneration system that I am sure brought a lot of headaches to the table, and distracted from core app dev...

Regardless, again, Thank You, kind sir, for the well-implemented solution - it is greatly appreciated.

[Android Software Development] emandt:
Is it your problem?

Two users had PayPal problem, but it depends of their PP account only.

The App has remained on Play Store for 1 week after Beta ended, so if you bought it on Play Store you only need to follow the few lines of instructions you can find in the Community to migrate the License from Google to the new PayPal system.

I wrote all the story and instructions in Community more than one month ago...

Sometimes reading the Community could solve many problems in time.

I'm running cm12.1 (5.1.1)

Kernel version: Linux 3.10.40 (cmremix by zion)

The force close occurs randomly after some time, when removing the spen & the only way to rectify the fc is by uninstalling & reinstalling the app, but then the same fc would occur some time later.
