only gmd air command isn't working

I installed the apk's as told in the first post. Everything is working but I cannot show up the air command circle.
Previously I have managed to show air command circle, but after what I do and it's shown I don't know, I have installed a fresh stock rom and rooted again. And installed all the apk's in the zip as told. Now All s-pen programs are working well. But aircommand circle is not show up still.
I use gmd air command.
Can you tell me what is missing?
My phone is rooted Samsung galaxy s4 GT-I9500.

I have done a preliminary check and have updated some of the files. Most of the things should work except the Settings and One Hand. I have not tried the SecSettings yet and would try sometime later this week.

Pls find the link below.

In case Dropbox fails pls use link below



Do let me know if some things don't work. The contents of this file needs to be copied manually using root file explorer and permissions fixed manually and then re-boot. Pls also note that in case you have a odex file and you copy an existing file from the zip, remember to delete its corresponding odex file.

I have a s3 with touchwiz port 4.4.4. i installed the S Note with all files but isnt working(well is working but is Force Closing every time in the s note and booting the phone). in the logcat is lacking sapa_feature.xml and libraries referenced for libjansson.so libapa_jni.so and still not working(codedump)...... I think that S Note will requiere some .jar file(framework) (because says: couldnt load native method) and some permissions to make it working flawlessly.I tried to copy some libs from note 3 rom and bridged s note working but recording causes FC.if you want i made a zip with s note 3 stuff and libs and you can fix the recording problem...the S note is 3.1 0

    Update 11
    Fixed some additional issues found in Scrapbook. This is the Pinboard main APK file and only this needs to be copied. The Other supporting files have not been modified at all.

    Check the conversations on Page 16 of this thread if scrapbook is crashing and should help you all to fix the issues.

    This file below was potentially missing in the earlier uploaded zip. Pls copy to system\app and set permission and reboot in case Scrapbook crashes on starting.

    https://hotfile.com/dl/249073254/94607e8/Pinboard-Key.apk.html
    I found that in the scrapbook while editing and adding a drawing to a picture, it crashes. Reason is a missing notes file in the System\VODB\MUL
    Find attached below the link to the zip of the mul directory from one of the recent note 3 rom. Extracting and copying the files from the zip to the MUL directory and fixing the permissions is now saving the drawings to the pictures in the scrapbook contents

    Update 8 - Some good news on maps
    I have been successfull in activating the maps function in snote. As this requires a key to authenticate and potentially google can charge the key owner in case of excessive usage of maps, hence I am not in a position to publish the apk file I managed to generate. Hope you all respect this decision of mine.
    I would suggest that you try and generate if interested the keys and activate the maps. Pls note the "Capture functionality is still not fixed in maps"
    There are a few activities to be done to activate the maps.
    1) Create your own keys. There are lot's of documentation out there on google that you can search for, here is a sample ---> http://jmlinnik.blogspot.in/2011/12/keystores.html
    2) Once the keys are created you can register at the below google site for the maps API Key. This is a great tutorial for the same --> http://www.vogella.com/articles/AndroidGoogleMaps/article.html ( Pls note you need the SHA1 hash of the keys and the package name. keep the package name as it is. Package name can be found in the file below (AndroidManifest.xml)
    3) Sign the APK file with your own private and public keys. Use the latest Snote3.xxx.apk file from my posts and run apktool (Using apktool guide --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1891686) and convert the same into smali files.
    Before you convert it back to the apk again with apktool, pls edit the AndroidManifest.xml file and replace the android value below ith the API Key you got from google

    4)the apk file would be created in the dist folder. Now all you need to do is to sign it with your keys.
    below is the command line option replace the "testkey.x509.pem" & "testkey.pk8" with the names of the files you generated in step 1. File.apk is the apk file name you want to sign and File-Signed.apk is the signed file you want to create.
    java -Xmx1024m -jar signapk.jar -w testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8 FILE.apk FILE-signed.apk
    Signapk.jar can be downloaded. Pls search using google
    Once Successful, copy the signed apk file into system\app and re-boot and you should be able to get the maps active now on the S Note.
    My special thanks to all the authors of the above links
    ***********************************************
    Update 7 - Maps. (Bad News)
    Unfortunately, google gives an API Key for access of the google maps application and as we have been changing the APK and signing it with a key different from what Samsung uses, there is an authentication failure.
    https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/start#the_google_maps_api_key
    Don't think we can solve this as long as we use a different key to sign the app.
    Any Ideas from any one will be appreciated.

    Update 6

    IdeaSketch Fixed :)
    https://hotfile.com/dl/247601284/3739b55/Ideas-Fix.apk.html

    Note: - the files in Update 6 and Update 5 are APKs for IdeaSketch and Magic Chart and needs to be copied into the System\App directory. Permissions needs to be fixed and re-start. As usual after re-start don't forget to install the SPenSdk3.apk
    Also pls note that I have copied the files that Arsaw had extracted from from Note 3 into the VODB Directory. I had copied the contents of the VODB\Lib from his extract to my System\VODB\Lib and fixed permissions. Pls do this also in case the IdeaSketch or MagicChart fails. In case of doubt pls ask any of the senior members and do not mess around with any other Lib directories

    ************************
    Update 5
    Magic Chart File has been fixed:) ...thanks all for the help.. Magic chart is sheer magic!

    https://hotfile.com/dl/247593406/b16e982/CB1b-Sig.apk.html

    Update - Some Minor Errors still persists.. but many of the Magic chart Functions are now active
    What works - Editing charts, modifying the Chart template and editing the chart data in it, making tables and creating chart from the tables etc.
    Directly creating the Charts from the menu seems to crash at the moment after we draw the lines manually.

    I created Air Command trigger app. Obviously it requires Air Command to be present. I have no idea if it works with your mods but you can try it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=49433333

    Air Command

    A bit of progress on the aircommand investigation check the notification in the screenshot. It has been triggered manually:) Hope we can crack it up further.

    Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda app-developers app



    Further to my previous post, a bit of how I managed to trigger "SPen detached"

    Like I mentioned earlier I have found in the framework.jar and framework2.jar files most of the coding for the Air Command.
    After going through a lot of coding, I have found two intents that gets broadcast and possibly triggers the Aircommand.

    You can try manually the following
    1) From a terminal session on the mobile
    a) su (This will give you root previlages)
    b) am broadcast -a com.samsung.pen.INSERT

    This will broadcast the pen detached intent and triggers the Pen detached function

    Note I had already used the Gesture Search Play Store App and set up the Pen Settings to trigger the AIR Command on Pen Detachment in the settings. Ideally when the S-Pen is detached in Note 3 the Air command gets triggered, if enabled in Setting. But still the Air Command does not get triggered in our S4 and gives us the message that SPen has been detached and suggests possible apps to use with S-Pen.
    May be porting the framework.jar, framework2.jar and Framework-Res.apk from Note 3 to our S4 might trigger it.
    We need to explore this further

    2) From your PC and mobile connected
    a) ADB SHELL
    b) su
    c) am broadcast -a com.samsung.pen.INSERT

    There is one more intent that possibly triggers the broadcast when the side button is clicked in the SPen
    See the codes below
    private void broadcastAirButtonShowState(boolean flag)
    {
    Intent intent = new Intent();
    intent.setAction("com.sec.android.intent.action.AIR_BUTTON");
    intent.putExtra("isShow", flag);
    Log.i("AirButtonImpl", (new StringBuilder()).append("broadcastAirButtonShowState() isShow=").append(flag).toString());
    mContext.sendBroadcast(intent);
    }

    I have not been able to trigger manually the intent com.sec.android.intent.action.AIR_BUTTON by passing the additional flags and parameters isShow and true

    So you all can start exploring and hope we can do it.
    Most of the codes are there in the S4 Framework files, though I have not done a one to one comparison of the codes with Note 3.
    May be Samsung wanted us to use S-Pen Functions, though not the stylus as such :)

    For triggering the Action Memo using a broadcast use
    am broadcast -a android.intent.action.QUICKMEMO_LAUNCH
