If you want to add an existing photo from your gallery you should not do it through photo note. Instead, you can just insert a photo directly from the gallery by choosing "gallery" option after you touch add.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sll1313:
I realize that. However, by doing it that way “convert to edit” doesn’t come up. How can I bring in an existing file from my gallery, but be able to “convert to edit”? I can bring in the item from the Gallery no problem. I can take a picture using Photo Note and be able to “convert to edit”. Unfortunately, I can’t figure out how to combine them which you use to be able to do with an older version of Photo Note. There used to be an icon in the lower left of the screen when you brought up Photo Note. That icon accesssed your gallery and used those photos in lieu of taking a picture and then you can use things like “convert to edit” on items from your gallery. I hope that clarifies on what I meant. I also hope there is a way to accomplish what I’m trying to do, but if not I’m still grateful on your help on how to accomplish and getting Easy Charts, Photo Note, Idea Sketch, etc.... I also wanted to let you know that first link to download the apk for APK Editor Pro isn’t working. I had to get it another way. I just figured I would let you know in case other people are having issues downloading that file. Thanks again.

Scapbook

Thank you for your efforts on getting s-note whole again!

I was able to get everything working again....except scrapbook. It is installed and I was able to save a website stored in it from firefox; however, it worked only once, but for example, I do not get browser access from within scrapbook . I used to be ble to use the s-pen and laso-cut around web photos and have them go to scrapbook. I don't have that. I tried variations of SDK values and even tried the 1.7.04 version..... to no avail. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ucevik:
I don't have time to try, but the reason may be the resolution of the photos you are trying to insert. Why don't you try inserting photos with different camera resolutions.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sll1313:
Unfortunately that’s not the case. The only way the “convert to edit” option comes up is through Photo Note, unless someone else has figured another way to get that option to show up. But unfortunately, the resolution is not the answer. I wish it was. Does anyone else have the time to see if there is another way to get this to work? This way if someone wants to send you a file or if you happened to take a picture at work or in a class and you want to work on it later you would be able to. I appreciate anyone’s help. Thanks a lot!

Try not to use "other" versions over and over if you don't clean out those caches properly leaves back traces of those from the one explained to use here. That was my mistake and I had to do this whole process from scratch by force stopping clearing cache and clearing data then then finally uninstalling each and every S-note easy chart ECT...very very carefully. I'll look into it so far my scrapbook works well. I went to my Samsung Browser and types S-note went to images and in the right upper corner I clicked the three dot menu and selected share and then selected scrapbook. And saved it. I edited the image by highlighting the First row and saved. I even clicked the image which opened Google in the Samsung Browser which brought me back to the last S-note image I was looking at when I stopped the search. I pressed the back key and wallah...I'm on the search page where it all started. I don't know what you did wrong in getting everything functioning except scrapbook. Try uninstalling it by first.. force stopping... clear cache... clear data... then uninstall... reset phone.... download the proper scrapbook APK from the proper link mentioned www.apkmirrordownload.com and download the proper APK. This time DO NOT modify or update. Let me know how that works for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sll1313:
FYI, If you want to use laso-cut around, I’ve had success using Smart Select. I don’t know if it works with Samsung Browser, but I would assume it does. However, I know it works with Google Chrome. If you use smart select pick the lasso option or whichever one you want, then click share and Scrapbook is there and it works. I tried with Screen Write as well and it works, but in my opinion I feel Smart Select works much better because it also captures the web page in case you want to quickly access it, where Screen Write only captures the image and whatever you write on it. I hope that helps. If anyone knows how to use Photo Note with an image in your gallery I am still looking for a solution so I can get it to convert to edit.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] tah480:
That was fun converting the picture of my note 7 battery charging into sketch. What you want to know? Here's what I learned from an old video:

Watch "Samsung Galaxy Note 4 | How To: Use Photo Note feature" on YouTube

[youtube]YZwAa6h1HXg[/youtube]
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sll1313:
First off thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Ironically, I’ve seen that exact video years ago and that’s an older version of Photo Note that actually has an icon on the bottom left of the screen that will let you get an image from your gallery and pulls it into Photo Note so you can use the convert to edit feature. Unfortunately, the newer version of Photo Note doesn’t have the icon on the bottom left of the screen. There’s actually another video in YouTube that shows our newer version that doesn’t have that feature and matches our screen perfectly (without the gallery icon on bottom left). So the only way to bring an image in your gallery into S Note is through the Just gallery and unfortunately it bypasses Photo Note and then you can’t convert to edit. If you take the image in Photo Note there is no issue, but if it’s in your gallery because you took the image before or someone sent it to you, I can’t figure out a way to pull it into Photo Note (because there’s no icons for gallery anywhere on the Photo Note Screen - there’s actually only flash and hdr(I believe off hand)). So you can get an image from your gallery into S Note, but that won’t let you “convert to edit” unless there is a way to pull it into Photo Note. I never realized they changed it. Maybe because I skipped the Note 5. I went from the Note 4(this videos version of Photo Note) to Note 7 (but really this Note 8). I do want to say thank you for posting this and helping me get the other extensions, like Photo Note, Idea Sketch, and Sketchbook. I got SNote and Action Memo, but couldn’t get the rest so thanks. I figured you would probably be the best person to ask about the one last item. If there’s no way then no big deal, but it would be great to get all of it to work. Oh by the way, I also wanted to let you know to help future people out, your link to get Apk Editor Pro is messed up. So maybe you could post it again. I found another way to get it temporarily, but I’m sure there may be others that might have issues so if you could post the link again (when I tried it it took me all over the place saying there were viruses and it was just messed up). But most importantly, I would greatly appreciate it if you can figure out a way to do what I was asking and if not I want to thank you again profusely!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] tah480:
These are the ones I have working flawlessly on the Note 8. I'm going to try to find any older version of photo note that allows pulling the pictures from the gallery instead of taking an actual picture and get back to you. Maybe taking an older version and changing the API and SDK using APK Editor Pro to it's latest 24 and 25 target would allow it to work on our Note 8. I'll try it first and get back to you as soon as possible. Quick question: When was the last version of the Note series you used that feature in Photo Note?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] tah480:
Try downloading the scrapbook version I post WITHOUT using APK Editor Pro. I just deleted my Scrapbook and my Photo Note. I'm trying to help you and another member with these. So deleting it and doing it again with you guys from scratch I get to see where the mistakes are made and of there's any older versions I can modify for the older and best S-note we all miss so much.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] tah480:
Here's the Scrapbook version im using. DO NOT UPDATE...DO NOT change anything except permissions?

I'm going to try the oldest versions first from two different sites:

Apkmirror.com

Apkmirrordownload.com

Side note: Photo Note versions go down in number as I'm noticing as they update. Weird but true. Maybe it's me ?.

First ...

Photo note 5.2.1.5

I'm going to try the oldest versions first from two different sites:

Apkmirror.com

Apkmirrordownload.com

Side note: Photo Note versions go down in number as I'm noticing as they update. Weird but true. Maybe it's me ?.

First attempt:

Photo note 5.2.1.5 from apkmirror and updating the SDK..testing now at 2:35pm. Wish me luck.

From apkmirror...

Photo note 5.2.1.5 didn't not work and even changing the SDK didn't work ..tried 24 to 25 SDK target even 25 to 26 target ...force close. Deleting apk... at 2:54pm

Well with much of the day working on the Photo Note APK, the only one working is 4.2.0.0 with SDK 24 (nougat) and SDK target 26 (oreo) without the gallery insert ?. If anyone finds a way to get the old photo note with gallery insert, please post. Thank you. 6:18pm ended. ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] carlyle070:
THANK YOU!

tah480:

I followed your directions and flushed data and cache before I deleting scrapbook. Reinstalled it and voila! It's working!

Thank you again!

Sorry photo note didn't work out.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sll1313:
It was the Note 4. I didn’t own the Note 5 so I’m not certain if it was on it and I didn’t get that far with the Note 7. So for certain the last version it worked with was the Note 4. Also I have a friend trying to use your link for the APK Editor Pro and she’s having the same issues I had so I gave him my work around that I can’t find anymore. So I would really appreciate it if you could post a new link to download the APK Editor Pro. I’m trying to help her and unfortunately it’s doing the same thing when I did it. I found it a different way and it’s gone so I don’t know what else I can do. Thanks again! You’ve been a huge help to something that’s very frustrating! I keep posting on different YouTube videos and other places that Samsung should bring the original S Note app back. I don’t know what made them bring back the SD card, but I figure if enough of the Note users complain maybe they will bring it back like they did the SD card. I really don’t understand how they can think Samsung Notes is even close to the original S Note app. They have such a home run with the Note combined with that App. If they just advertised it as much as they advertise Live Messages I think they would sell even more Notes. I have showed so many people the Notes capabilities with the original S Note and I can’t tell you how many people were so surprised on what it could do. They ALL said I thought the Spen was just another stylus. I got every Android user to buy a Note and every Apple owner except one to buy a Note (not necessarily the current Note 8). The last person claims they are still going to buy a Note they just can’t decide if they want the 8 or if they are going to wait for the 9. I’m just one person who probably got approximately 20 people to switch. Samsung really needs to think about some of their moves. I really feel if they market it properly they can really do phenomenal with this series! Instead they made the plus series almost the same size as the Note, handled the Note 7 fiasco very poorly in my opinion, and deciding to use Samsung Notes instead of S Note. Don’t get me wrong there were other missteps they made. I’m just naming a few. I’m sorry for rambling it just upsets me because while I’ve owned Blackberry and other Androids, I’ve been a very loyal supporter to the Note Series owning everyone of them, but 2. It would be great if we could come up with some sort of idea with S Note like what happened with the SD card so they could just put it back. They kept saying they were brining it back for the Note 7 until the battery issues started so there must be a way. Sorry I’m digressing compared to what I was asking in the being. Again thanks a lot. Your help really means a lot!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] tah480:
Great!.. I'm glad it's working. You're welcome. Photo Note works fine for my needs. Now that I know which version of the Note series the Photo Note the other member was referencing on, I can begin there. Thank you. :good::)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] tah480:
Thank you. It means a lot. You're right, S-note was 97% close to perfect. If they kept that same formula and added to it's original framework, action memo included, and added a few features I would of loved to see on the original S-note like: Samsung Office, first advanced mobile office solution totally free without the Microsoft subscriptions, 2D to 3D "Easy Chart scaling", "Live Easy Chart" showing the productivity flow of more sheets to choose from and with any chart format in real time, "S-Share", the ability to share Easy Chart with all office applications without a glitch, an updated Idea Sketch and Illustrations, the Old photo note with video and picture insert from anywhere, Scrapbook AI, an enhanced Scrapbook that knows the difference between photos, notes, ect and categorizing them in folders automatically or manually and of course my own name change, S- Office. yes I agree. Even enough concept videos showing the S-note with the enhancements on the S9 or Note X would be a real game changer. But we are here. Sad but true. Since now I know the Note 4 is the lead for that specific Photo Note APK, I'll look in that direction. I've been attacking it from Note 5 and up. I'll do my research and get back to you and everyone. Even searching on here for the Photo Note port or Mod might work too. And as far as getting APK Editor Pro free, first get the free version of APK EDITOR FREE on the Google play store, download and open it. Then exit. It creates the "Google verified app cache" needed so when you do the next step. Next get APK Editor Pro from Aptoide. And from there you should be good to go if you follow my Second set of instructions. You should be good from there. Happy editing lol and thank you again. :good::)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sll1313:
I just noticed how long my last post was and I will try and make a conscious effort to keep them shorter, but I just realized that I forgot to ask you 1 more thing. I noticed that you mentioned that you have to use I believe 26 if you have Oreo. My Note 8 hasn’t been updated yet to Oreo and I have everything working. So when I get the update to Oreo will I have to go through this whole process again to get the original S Note with Action Memo and the rest of the extensions like Photo Note, Idea Sketch, Sketchbook, etc... to work? Or will it automatically take care of it when it updates? Or lastly do we just have to wait and see what happens? Thanks in advance for your help.

---------- Post added at 08:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:07 AM ----------

tah480, I’m sorry I just keep coming up with more questions either by me or friends. (Told you I referred a lot of people to buying the Note). My friend wants to know if there is a way to save the Screen off Memo to the S Note app instead of Samsung Notes app? I actually thought that was a great question as well and thought if anyone might know the answer it might be you. Once again, I really do appreciate your help with all of this!

---------- Post added at 09:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:38 AM ----------

I really hope this is the last question. She wants to know if anyone has downloaded S Note Templates directly from Samsung and if it works by giving us more templates in S Note. She downloaded Add S Note Templates from the Play Store and she says that works. But she says you have to open that app and pick your template and then it opens it in the S Note app. She said it’s cumbersome to use and the only reason she tried it was because other people said it works. She would rather just open S Note and have the additional templates so she thought she could just download it from Samsung’s Store. She doesn’t want to mess up what’s working so she wanted to know if anyone else has had success with this. She also asked if not, could we download the apk from apkmirror (it has same version), but she noticed 21 and 23. So she thought she could do the same thing as before and adjust it to 24 and 25. What are your thoughts? She told me to thank you and is sorry she has so many questions, but this is her first Note (unfortunately I don’t know the answer or I would help her like I already have with other items). My thought was I didn’t see the harm in downloading to see if it works and if not then try adjusting those numbers, but that was just my best guess. Thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sandra17:
Holy moley! How in the world did you figure this out?? I had been half assedly messing with Nova Prime & setting an Activity. I got as far as Easy Chart & Photo Note working outside of S Note. Even got Easy Chart to save as .xlsx, .pdf, or .jpg. Could add them into S Note (sometimes!) but not edit. That's where I gave up.

I haven't tried this yet - need an "everyone is out of the house for 5 hours" day! Cannot wait tho! Thank you so much for figuring this out!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] tah480:
Yes Add S-note template works straight out the play store. It stores in s-note. No modifying is necessary. It's a separate app because it's an addon like Kodi lol. The only time the addS-note template will show is when you completed your documented template and it saves in s-note. I'm glad for the questions. Keep them coming. Yes it would of been easier to to have it already in s-note but they didn't add them and made a separate app. Maybe because it's from around the time of the Galaxy Note 2 and the 10.1 (2014). They should just bundle S-note in one package to kill the competition. Lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] tah480:
Yes Sandra17 give this a try. Good luck and you're welcome
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] tah480:
Yes. If someone who is skilled enough to create a concept S-note with the information I provided as an idea and name it S-Office and tag them in every department of corporate email and social media outlets in English Chinese Japanese Korean and European... it would disrupt the normal.... corporate don't take likely that they spend billions of dollars on R and D and "we the people" can build a better S-note from the tossed out scraps of S-note based on what we need and not what they think we want.... freely because we actually love it and want the Note 3 S-note with added advancements ... S-Office...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sll1313:
I couldn’t agree with you more. I don’t mean to be a pain, but like I said I’ve gotten a lot of people to buy the Note so I’m getting so many calls, texts, and emails with wanting answers to those questions that I listed, The 2 that I’m getting the most questions on are questions 1 and 5. I’m also getting a lot on 3 and 4 as well. I know question 2 is really coming from me, but I did have 1 or other people ask me as well.

That being said I would appreciate it so much if you would answer questions 1 and 5, and if you have more time also 3 and 4. Like I said take your time with the last question it’s primarily for me. I thank you spin advance and want to wish you a happy holiday season. Also, I would like to wish you a Happy and Healthy New Year!!! I am really looking forward to your answers to those 4 questions because they are driving me crazy, more than I keep asking you. Thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] tah480:
Answering question 1: Add S-note Template App only works with S-Notes. You don't have to change anything. It works right out the box. Just select your template, rename it, edit or create from blank template form and press save. When you open your S-note app, the new Template will be there to edit further or to change its cover. Now when adding a new page to the specific template you're using, you will be greeted with a Samsung message to press OK to download the newest version of Samsung Template which is downloaded to S-note and works right from S-Note when you edit the specific template you are working on. When creating a NEW Template from S-Note however, It will NOT look the same as the templates in Add S-Note Template App unfortunately. But when editing an existing template you saved from Add S-Note Template App, when you add a page (+), it will give you that same template color and design to start a blank page or add the same template design. This new version added to S-note will not interfere with the functions of Add S-Note Template App. The templates are now added in S-note as well when dealing with those types of template styles just not the same design. Check out the screenshots. Thank you.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Maris_:
To answer No. 3, I found an old app on here that works great and saves the screen-off memo to this version of S-Note. I searched for Screen-off Memo and found it on XDA that way. I disabled the original screen off using BK Disabler, then installed the Screen-off Memo apk and it works. The only thing I found is that it isn't completely full screen because our screen is longer than the original phone for which it was designed, but if you keep that in mind, you have no problem. Also, if you like the pin to AOD, that wasn't available then, so doesn't work now, either. Other than those two differences, it fits the bill.
