You know, now that I'm re-watching the YouTube video, they make it a little deceiving. The video makes it look like it recognizes your text and programs the calendar entry based on your keywords i.e. you enter dinner tomorrow at 9 pm and it schedules a meeting the next day at 9 pm with the title dinner. However, re-watching the video, it doesn't actually schedule her meeting correctly she just shoots past it so you can't see that it's not.

Yeah, maybe I was expecting too much, or confused with the Calendar quick add feature. On the AT&T Note Calender quick add will convert plain language to the proper event date and time, but from S Note it doesn't. It does a decent job of recognizing the handwritten note but only places that info in the memo section of the new Calendar event. Maybe that's all the internatiinal S Planner can do as well.

Let us know how it goes.
Ok I am going to be really stupid here. I haven't done anything to my phones since my HTC a few years back. I just got this ATT Note and am trying to install the files that were given in this thread.

You say to move them to system/app. Here is my questions. How do I get there? I went through just plain old Windows Explorer and that doesn't seem to be right. Is there a program that I need to download to put these files in to where they are needed, or an I just not getting it at all (which could be possible).

Thanks for the help. Have done a lot of searching and still am very confused

You have to be rooted in order to move a system file. And you would have to be running a file explorer such as ES file explorer with the system mounted as read/write.

If you are rooted, then go into options in ES and put a check next to root explorer and mount system. Make sure you say yes to superuser request. I like to change the home directory from /sdcard/ to just /

That should start you in the true file system and not in the SD card.

Ok I got ES on my phone but still trying to figure out how to mount it. I am downloading Android SDK Manager because I found something saying I can mount it with that.

Is there a section somewhere that is already written up to explain all this to me so I don't know to keep bugging you guys. When I do a search I get sooooo many things it is hard for me to weed through to get to what I really need.

All of this for a stupid app that is suppose to be on the phone but from what I hear stupid ATT took off.

Thanks for all the help.

I honestly prefer ghost commander, it's dual window, have the files you want to move in one, and system/app in the other, on the system window you can scroll right on the little bar on bottom and click remount as rw, then you can move or copy items

So I would move the files from my PC to somewhere on the SD card and then use this Ghost Commander to move them to where I need to in the root directory.

Am I getting that right?

Ok so I got my files on my sd card and I can see the in Ghost. 4 of the files already exist in the system/app so I am confused why it is not there. I did try to run it directly and got an error.

I still can't figure out how to read/write from the root.

I tell you, this S Planner better be worth all the crap I am doing to get it on my phone.

Search doesn't work too well. Especially the app. When you open es, press the menu capacitive button, go to settings aand choose root explorer. Press yes for superuser prompt when it comes up. Then select mount system as writable. Also, change home directory to just "/" instead of "/sdcard/". Then you should be able to see everything. Go to the sdcard where the files are... long press on each file and choose copy. Then go back until you see the folder titled "system". Go into that folder then into the "app" folder. At the bottom of your screen there should be an arrow with a box around it. Press that and touch the files. That will copy them to the folder. You should get a confirmation that they copied successfully.

Don't worry about asking too many questions. That is the purpose of a forum, to discus and to learn. Though it could be argued that many people have forgotten that. Ill try to post up some pics as it goes through....

Sorry to be such a pain the ass, I appreciate all the help.

Don't worry about it. As I said before, that's what we are here for. It would appear that based on the response from es explorer, you aren't rooted...
