For those of you looking to run your favorite AOSP ROMs such as AOKP, CM10.1, or even ParanoidAndroid ROM, you might want to learn that there are S-Note app alternatives to keep your S-Pen touch-sensitivity and note feature working.
Now, this will not replace the whole S-Note app with “all” of the S-Pen features like calculating math equations or adding new videos but will give you the ability to use your S-Pen for note-taking, drawing pictures along with S-Pen touch sensitivity.
Memo app by Nathan Garside – This is probably my favorite of them all. It’s a simple, lightweight note app that allows you to take notes with the same pens/brushes you use on the original S-Note app.
Papyrus app – This is another note taking app that detects your S-Pen to take notes.
G Note app – This is another app similar to the Memo app.
Personally, I don’t use S-Note app other than jotting down my ideas or letting the kids to draw stuff. And if you don’t need all the bells and whistles of S Note app, you can still take notes fine using these apps on AOSP ROMs.
Of course, you will lose multi-window and other TouchWiz features (Smart-stay/rotation) but there will be some sacrifices when running AOSP ROMs.
At the least, app developers are developing more apps that makes use of the S-Pen, it shouldn’t be too long before more apps are developed for the S-Pen. At the worst, you can always go back to your TouchWiz-based ROMs.

actually max what’s the point of using aosp roms.
i mean they are a lot feature-less n unstable.
so any explanation…?
btw great work done by you through this site man.
(but i don’t know what i still want to try out aosp roms)
Not true. I’m using CWM 10.1 and it is working flawlessly except a little hiccup on the audio. Using it as my daily. The battery life is better than the stock.
thnx for the reply ESJ…
maybe…but no multi window…no S pen…no all the motion control
so all the iconic features of note 2 gone n replaced with just a rom to have more batery…
Faster, cleaner, and you get the latest firmware. I was very apprehensive about losing Multiwindow, but there are pop up browsers and video players that replace what I was using the Multiwindow function to do. I do miss S-Note launching immediately when I pulled the pen out though. I never used Smart Stay and that other stuff. It’s all relative to what’s important to the user.
Also, I’m using the Carbon rom, 4.2.1, and it couldn’t be more stable.
I am no expert but Can’t we just repack S-note into apk or flashable zip or something???
I mean like the jb4.2 camera app available for lower android versions. It comes in a zip.
I think Spen features are touchwiz based…therefore NO can’t use with aosp based roms.
am i correct MAX…?
Hi Max…
in the video it seems that you are found an Alternatives for the hovering function for the S-Pen. im using the same ROM as you but i cant use this function ( the hovering or the Air View ). I noticed the arrow as you hover the S-Pen on the Screen. Can you please tell me how can I get this Function Back.
I’m using the latest Paranoid Android and S-pen hover is working like a champ. I never was one for using the stock S-pen apps, but I do miss Smart Stay.
Ravyn here, still jumping around with rooms but s pen on my gn2 with tmo has no calc, script to type etc features… Did tmo cut us to the bone or am I missing something? I am willing to swap if I can get the camera and a multi Window work around, . Any ideas about the missing features?
