is photo note a separate apk or is it included with the apks discussed in this thread?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dreams.sri:
A doubt.

First of all, thanks for this. So whenever we take the pen out of the phone, which app will appear on the right edge of the screen? Samsung Notes or this one?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] guthrien:
You need to install the shortcut and you add the action note as an action. The new Note app is still taking precedent.

Separate and it doesn't work. It says you must update and Samsung App says the app doesn't exist.

Thank you! I have AM back.. Sweet...

Maybe if enough of us complain to the developers about photo note and action memo not working in SNote they might fix it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] technomike:
Kudos to all, This was one of the first things I noticed when testing it out. WTFlip? FYI you can simply install the older version (I used APK mirror site) and then install the extension pack and widget from the app itself under "More Features". Of course the Zolaris Action Memo Shortcut app is a must as well. [MENTION=360014]kangi26[/MENTION] you mentioned you added shortcuts to the sPen from the APK? Did you have to install the Action Memo Shortcut app to do that?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] kangi26:
No, the Action Memo only shows for me like it does HERE
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] lesiak:
Thank you so much !!! working for me like a charm.

BTW Is it possible to save and close current action memo when S Pen is inserted, automatically ?

No , its just standalone apk file , just install like any other app and start using it

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] vinumsv:
Try this

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rarlab.rar
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] BlueFox721:
I use root explorer to change .zip to .apk...but the Samsung file manager does too...I'm in the process of zipping the apks so that there is no need..

Update: I updated the links in op to apk not .rar...Dropbox links are still broke though...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] sandra17:
Has anyone had S Note update, even tho updates are off in the Google Play store AND for the individual app, AND in Galaxy Apps, yet it still updated?? If so, were you able to uninstall, then reinstall the correct S Note?

I was using Action Memo at 1am this morning, went to sleep, and when I woke up & opened S Note, I got a message that Action Memo does not work with this version of S Note, did I want to convert all my AM's to Samsung Notes (ugh!). I uninstalled the updated S Note, then tried to reinstall the correct one but keep getting a msg that the file is corrupt.

I saw one user on Android Central say this a month ago, and that it installed properly after a factory reset, which after nearly 2 months of customizing this phone, I reeeeally don't want to do. It sucked enough having to do this with the N7, but you'd think after that hot mess that Samsung might just leave this coveted & beloved app the f'k alone!

Ugh, I've been spitting nails & f-bombs for the past 15 hours. I've been invested in S Note since my N3 (4, 5, 7, 8, 10.1 & 12.2!) & have 700+ AM's and half that many S Notes.

Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] shouren04:
I've never had S Note or any other app auto update with all my settings for auto update turned off. However I did update S Note one time through the app notification out of curiosity. Quickly found out why they said not too.

Like you it said to convert all the action memos but I didn't. I just uninstalled S Note & reinstalled the version from this thread, everything worked fine for me since.

That sucks that it says files corrupt for you, not sure how that could be fixed. Do you at least have some of them backed up somewhere?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] sandra17:
Phew, fixed it. Figured I'd post how in case anyone else runs into this peculiar reason. Just posted this at Android Central:

I got it!!! I was livid all day and just had a suspicion on how it updated (still shouldn't have tho), and why I was getting that corrupt message.

I recently added S Note to my Secure Folder. It had the updated version of S Note, and when I opened it I got the same message about Action Memo not being supported, did I want to convert them.

I uninstalled S Note from Secure Folder (it and all the add-ons have been uninstalled from the normal app location all day).

Held my breath and reinstalled the correct version of S Note (again), and it installed with no problem. It's currently loading my 1100+ notes (700+ Action Memo & 400+ S Notes).

Thank God!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] shouren04:
Nice! :good:

I have no experience with Secure Folder, it don't work for me. I sure do miss Private Mode on my Note 5.

Hi.Does it work with screen-off memo?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] sll1313:
I’ve been using Snote and Action Memos and they both have worked perfectly fine. It’s the other items like Photo

Note, Easy Chart, etc. that haven’t been working. I downloaded a different version of the Extension pack as well as Easy Charts, I was going to uninstall and download these other versions listed here, but I didn’t want to spin my wheels and waste my time. I wanted to make sure everyone’s is working using these versions. So please confirm if Photo Note, Easy Chart, etc. are working or not? Thank you in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] kenloon2004:
Easy chat not working how to fix it ??
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] sll1313:
Same issue, but.......

I can’t get Easy Chart to work either and I’m using a different version. But, I hope I not reading into anything. I noticed you didn’t mention anything about Photo Note or even the other plug-ins (which I’m stil most interested in Photo Note and Easy Chart). Does that mean you got Photo Note and/or the other plug-ins to work? I would greatly appreciate any help and if I find anything out, I will definitely let you know as well. This would really make my day and I need something to go right for me because I’ve literally been sick for about 3 and a half years. I really hope you have some good news. I look forward to hearing from you real soon. Thanks in advance for your help with this!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] sll1313:
Since I haven’t heard anything back from anyone. I will assume no one got Easy Chart or Photo Note to work. Is that correct?

Second question has anyone already been updated to Oreo and if so, has that done anything to Snote and Action Memo?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Telstar1948:
Thanks BlueFox721!!!!

I've been screwing around with S Note on my new Note 8 most of the day downloading it from here and there, different older version etc. Some wouldn't load, some would but then the app would freeze when trying to delete a note or save one or whatever with action links in Action Memo not showing up regardless.

Saw your post on the forum. I deleted everything S Note related already on my phone, then I downloaded S Note, Extension Pack & widget to my desktop from here, then I used SideSync to put it on my Note 8. From my phone I installed each one giving full permissions as I went. I also ended up downloading the Action Memo shortcut from the Play Store on my phone, which I placed in Air Command shortcuts. Everything works beautifully including full action links in Action Memo! Thanks again for going to the trouble to gather the "package" in one place.

I see the other add-ons further down your list, but, frankly, I'm hesitant to try them since S Note is now working without any hiccups - I'm afraid if something goes south with one of the other add-ons, it may snarl up S Note. Thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ballfire:

Hi, I got problem with s note and action memo in my note fe. I can install the apk (5.1.* and 5.2.*), but cannot get it worked properly. Using 5.1.*, I can open action memo, but then the memo is freezing on top of the screen, and the only way to get rid of it is by restarting the device. While using 5.2.*, it always says that s note doesn't support action memo. I really wondering why the same apk behave differently in 2 devices (fe vs 8). Is it because of different firmware..? Can anyone help & give suggestion to make this app works in note fe..?

*nb: I know it is note 8 forum and my device is note fe, but note fe forum is much less active than here....

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] @home:
So are you saying that Samsung have brought back Action Memo in the latest version of Samsung Notes?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] edwardob:
No not at all... Just a improved version of Samsung notes not much
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] sll1313:
Me, too. I re-read his post multiple times to try and understand what he said and then I saw yours. I would appreciate it if someone could explain it to me.

Also, I was wondering if anyone is on Oreo and actually has the full original S Note app including Action Memo, Photo Note, Easy Chart, Idea Sketch, Scrapbook, etc. I had everything working flawlessly on my Note 8 and because of some other issues I decided to update it to Oreo. I was going I wait, but at least my other issues are taken care of. However, now with Oreo, Photo Note only works in landscape held 1 specific way and I can’t even get Easy Chart to install now. Unfortunately during the update Easy Chart and Extension Pack got deleted. I was lucky the APKs were still there, but I still couldn’t get it back in its entirety. I’ve been working on this for awhile and getting a bit frustrated. So I’m really looking for some help. Anyone have any suggestions? I would really appreciate it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] edo101:
I have the same issue. Got my phone 20 hrs ago. It was already updated to Android 8 which means I cant install easy chart. haven't tried photo note
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] sll1313:
I hope you’re enjoying your purchase. Personally, I think it’s a great phone and I do like it better on Oreo! However, I think it would be perfect if Samsung would either bring back the original S Note app or add all of those things to Samsung Notes.

I know someone referred to an updated version of Samsung Notes. What were you referring to? I’m assuming you mean it got more features/capabilities. If so, what items were added? I’m assuming I’m aware of them, but maybe there’s something that I’m not aware of and I would like to know.

Unfortunately, I still haven’t been able to get Easy Chart to install. I think it has to do either with Extension Pack or the S Note APK, probably Extension Pack. I’m a little nervous about messing with it be because I’m still grateful that I have almost everything working and afraid I might screw it up. However, I will probably just end up trying to fix it. I hope I don’t regret my decision, but I’m probably not as knowledgeable as most of you. I will be trying to install different versions of the Extension Pack as is, but also installing modified versions with the min and targets to most likely 24 and 26. It looks like that will be time consuming, so it may take me sometime. I have a lot of medical tests and procedures to go through this week, so I just don’t know when I’ll have time. If I get there and find anything new, I will let everyone know. I’m also still hoping that others are looking as well and may find something, too.

I’m not messing with Photo Note yet because that’s actually working, but only in landscape.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] edo101:
You don't need to fear, if you mess it up, just uninstall it and reinstall. There is an S Note on Samsung Apps/play store but it doesnt' contain action memo yet. I tried it before uninstalling it and using the files here
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] sll1313:
No, unfortunately its not that easy. I wish it was. I don’t believe that’s what you want. I have the original S Note app with Action Memo, Photo Note, Easy Chart, Idea Sketch, Scrapbook, etc. Or I should really say that I had it all working on the Note 8, but with Nougat. Since the update to Oreo, it messed that up. After a bunch of tinkering some APKs a little differently than I did before. I’ve almost got everything working. The only thing that isn’t working at all is Easy Chart. I can’t even get it to install. So it would be a pain if I had to do this all over again and I’m also worried that I might mess it up. The original instructions on how to get it to work on Nougat came from another thread, but I had to change it because it wasn’t working on Oreo. I hope that clarifies things for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] edo101:
Happened on a bug. My Action Memos don't give me the open to pin them to home screen anymore. Anyone have this problem before? I don;'t know if its because I reset all app preferences. But all of a sudden, I can't pin to home screen anymore. And I have home screen real estate
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] edo101:
Can you list the directions you went through to get most of it to work on Oreo?

My "pin to homesceen" option dissappeared last week and I unistalled the app and reinstalled it again and it still doesn't work. RIght now S Note is telling me its been stripped from Galaxy.

Could you tell me how to uninstall and reinstall S Note APK extensions? the app is completely broken for me

Anyone else have a bug when trying to pin to screen? This has been my one hangup with this on my phone. First time it happened the option to pin to screen dissappeared from my action memo. I reset my phone for another reason and the pin to home screen worked for a little bit but now it just tells me it has successfully pinned to home screen but it doesn't do anything. I have stock launcher btw. What do I need to do to correct this? How do I uninstall everything and start over without needing to reset my whole phone

---------- Post added at 06:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:14 PM ----------

How do you uninstall everything and make your phone forget it was ever there? I tried before by clearing cache and uninstalling it normally from my app list but it didn't work
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] piezan:
I had this problem too. I was searching like crazy ans saw someone had it working on nova. So I tried it and it didn't work. Meaning I made it my main launcher. Since it didn't work I have up and uninstalled it. I just tried again via shortcut from playstore just for fun and voila it worked.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] edo101:
Wait what exactly did you uninstall?

and I am using stock launcher
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] piezan:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] edo101:
You know that's crazy enough to work. Cause you're essentially changing launchers. so you didn't uninstall S Note?

---------- Post added at 07:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:36 PM ----------

Tried it. Didn't work. It actually removed my pin to home screen button.

What I did was, install nova, make it my default launcher. Then I uninstalled it as I didn't know how to change my launcher back to Samsungs. Tried S Note but it won't give me the pin to home screen option. Now I need to figure out how to manually remove everything.

This is so frustrating. I'm on Android 8.0 btw
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] piezan:
Not at all. I wasn't even thinking about it until the pin to home came back. Totally accidental.

Same. I'm on oreo. Just uninstall S Note and install again. That may return it. Bc my pin to home was gone totally before I swapped from nova and back. Pretty stupid we have to do this at all to be honest. Samsung needs to get their crap straightened out

---------- Post added at 04:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:48 PM ----------

I was thinking what if it's the version of touchwiz that's causing this. ? Is their an older version that supports oreo and action memo. I rebooted for another app and my memo when missing. The choice is there to pin, but when I pin it doesn't pin anything. Just says it does

---------- Post added at 05:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:53 PM ----------

I CAN CONFIRM THIS WORKS ON DR. KETAN Rom Oreo. I downgraded touchwiz home to 9.0.0.1.1. And snote is 5.2.04.25 and pin to screen works. I can provide links but not sure if it's aloud.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] edo101:
Did it just start doing that? Because thats where mine was before it dissappeared after I tried the Nova trick.

That could be the case of touchwiz but I think it's intrisncly tied to the android flavor? I don't know. Anyways yes it is frustrating because Samsung had no reason to remove the classic S Note. In fact I expected an ehnaced action memo, not the stupid **** we got in its place. At what point did the geniuses in Samsung software think their version of pining notes was better than action memo?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] piezan:
Try the fix I posted in my edit of my post. Downgrade touchwiz fixed it totally.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] edo101:
I dont see it. How do you downgrade touchwiz? And what do I lose by downgrading touchwiz?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] piezan:
https://touchwiz-home.en.aptoide.com/?store_name=superuser4k&app_id=38411174

Here is touchwiz. You lose nothing. Go to system, privapp, the down to touchwiz and rename the original to something like this pic attached to back it up. Copy over the one in the link and fix permissions. Then restart. Test it. If no pin. Uninstall Snote and reinstall. Let me know if it worked for you

Snote is in the thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] edo101:
Do I have to be rooted? To access the system folder?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] piezan:
Yes you do. I don't think you can uninstall home without it. I do not know how to push downgrades.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] edo101:
Yeah I have to be rooted. Doesn't that void warranty? And how do I root a Note 8?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] piezan:
It does void yes. If 950f its simple but if something else its like half root

Personally I had everything working flawlessly until I upgraded to Oreo. It took me a while, but I got everything working from the original S Note app except Easy Chart. Also, Photo Note only works in landscape, but it works.

As far as pinning Action Memos to the home screen, I’ve never had that working with Nova. Even when Samsung supported the original S Note, it was the one issue that wouldn’t work with Nova. However, it will work with the Samsung Experience/Touchwiz and there is a work around to pin Action Memos to your home screen with Nova. Just set up the widget. It’s not perfect, but works for me and like I said I’ve been doing this ever since I started using Nova.

Did anyone figure out how to get Easy Chart working with Oreo? Also, anyone get Photo Note to work in Potrait mode, too?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] edo101:
I'm happy for you but this sort of stuff drives me crazy. I have not rooted or changed anything on my phone on Oreo but for whatever reason, Action memo just won't work when it comes to pinning stuff on the homescreen. I am using stock Oreo and TW. In fact the "pin to screen" option dissappeared from my action memo. Why did I end up with the worst Note 8 imaginable. This phone also dies when it hits 0% permanently and i have to change the battery
