[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sll1313:
Actually, you don’t need the 5 hours. He hit it out of the park. It was so easy and worked for me first time. It was actually unbelievable how easy it was, considering I was like you working on anything and everything to try and make it work, especially because I sold so many people on the Note series using the original S Note and then Samsung decides to change it to Samsung Notes. I think you’ll be surprised!

Hi, tah480. I really appreciate you helping me with my questions. Like I said most are from friends and family that I referred the Note line with the original S Note app and I feel bad that Samsung changed it. To recap my questions and explain them clearer because I think based on my friends last question I think you misunderstood.

1.) She already download “Add S Note Templates” from the Play Store and she knows it works, but it’s cumbersome. She found another app that is in the Samsung Store called just “S Note Templates”. She first wants to know if she can just download that one and if it would work right in the app and be simpler than the app in the Play Store. However she believes that she saw somewhere that app has 21 and 23. So she was wondering that if you don’t think it will work the way it is. She found the same app in apkmirror and was wondering if she did the same thing like we did with the other apps and downloaded and changed the numbers to 24 and 25, would it work then? This was it may be less cumbersome. She would rather not mess up how she has everything set up if you knew if it would work. Please look up “S Note Templates” in the Samsung Store or apkmirror or other stores.

2.). I know you are working to see if we can get Photo Note to work with items already stored in our gallery. It obviously works when we take the photo in the app. How do we make it work with a file someone sends or if it’s in our gallery. Like I told you already, I believe the last time I saw that working that way was when I had the Note 4.

3.). I have a friend who wants to know if there is a way to store the Screen Off Memos in S Note as opposed to Samsung Notes? I think it would be great if we could. I figured you might be one that might know if this could be done.

4.) Everyone has been asking me about Oreo. I know you mention to use 24/25 for Nougat and 24/26 for Oreo. Most people I know including myself has their Note 8 on Nougat. When we get the update to Oreo, will everything update automatically or will we have to go through updating everything using 26? Or do we have to wait and see and we have to go through this again do we have to delete everything or can we just run it through APK Editor Pro?

5.). Last question is in regards to the different places that we download apps. I’ve been asked about the safety of these places. I’ve used this site and apkmirror and personally feel pretty safe. I know you don’t know for certain so this is just an opinion. However, I’ve told people that apkmirror is by Android Police and my experience with them as well as XDA has been good. Then you have apkmirrordownload, which I have had good experience, but I really don’t know much about them. Lastly you have Aptoide and F-droid, which this is the first time I’ve used Aptoide and I’ve never used F-droid. So I believe that’s a total if 5 places to get the apps from. I’ve told everyone why I’ve felt good about certain ones, but like I said some I don’t have experience with. I also told them to on,y download the ones that have the check marks that say they’ve been verified. However, some of my friends have pointed out that it’s being verified for viruses and it’s their understanding it’s difficult to get viruses on your phone anyways, but it easier to get spywares, adwares, and ransomwares. I really didn’t know how to answer them because. I’ve only used 2 on a fairly consistent basis, 1 of them a few times, 1 just once, and the other I’ve never used. But that being said, I’m just using my experience as it being safe which honestly is probably not the best answer. So I was curious if you had any advice, comments, or even answers when it comes to this?

Once again, I’m sorry for the length, but I think this at least explain the 5 questions that my friends and I have. Lastly and possibly more importantly, did you give it any thought on what you think us loyal Note customers can do to show Samsung how important the original S Note is to us and we want it back. I really like your “S-Office” idea. Obviously they got the message with the SD card so there has to be a way to accomplish virtually the same thing, but with the original S Note and possibly include your improvements. Which the original S Note would be a home run for Samsung your S-Office Idea would be a Grand Slam! Let me know how you think we should proceed. I’m sure some, possibly most, of those questions you might be able to get back quickly and others will take sometime which I understand. Again, I just want to thank you in advance. I hope this is clear, if not please let me know.
