I've started to developing a paid App to enhance usability of my Galaxy Note 2 while using Note's SPen stylus on a rooted custom ROM which doesn't have S-Pen support like AOSP or MIUI.



29 March 2015: beta testing phase is finished
08 April 2015: published on Google Play Store
14 April 2015: suspended by Google due to SELinux Changer feature. Trying to convince Google to reactivate it on Play Store...
21 April 2015: broke away from Google Play Store due to its too much restrictive Terms about my SELinux Changer feature. Moving to PayPal/CreditCard solution...
26 April 2015: first release with internal PayPal payment

02 June 2015: [Moderator Edit: Paid app removed] (internal PayPal payment)

Best app features:
- take a full-screenshot holding stylus button while it is touching the screen
- take a cropped-screenshot (with post-editing) holding stylus button while draw the selection on screen
- edit screenshots taken using your stylus and its specific SPen Image Editor
- open a QuickMenu on stylus button single press (like stock Samsung "Air Command" feature)
- QuickMenu supports PNG/JPEG images as background
- choose up to 8 shortcuts on the QuickMenu
- choose up to 5 shortcuts to be shown in a Notification Shortcut bar
- switch keyboard when stylus is removed or inserted in its slot
- show cursor when stylus is near the screen
- choose a custom image as cursor (with also scale and offset to centre it)
- disable finger-touchscreen to avoid accidental hand-touch while drawing
- disable hardware keys (MENU and BACK) to avoid accidental hand-touch while drawing
- quick-double-press of stylus button executes a "BACK" action
- draw Gestures (holding stylus button while drawing on screen) to start Apps (or, in future, to take other actions)
- Lollipop 5.x support!!!!!
- choose a list of apps that keep the screen on when the stylus is removed
- turn on screen on stylus removal
- choose a list of apps that disable gestures and special stylus features (to use only specific app gestures)
- many graphic personalizations about menu, cursor and gesture
- Broadcast Android's event Intents (created for Tasker integration)
- Auto-backup of settings (for frequently ROM swappers!! :p )
- Auto-update to be always updated to latest version
- NOT DRAINS BATTERY because no any poll is done at a specific/high interval/frequency


DO YOU HAVE PROBLEMS? PLEASE CONTACT ME as first thing!
Refund is ALWAYS possibile (within a week from purchase), so opening a PayPal contestation creates only problems to me and lengthens the time of refund.
There are two buttons in "About" section of the App with which you can contact me or join the Google+ Community asking for support...try to use those ways before any other.

Few screenshots on the Note 3 SM N9005 (htle)
Running Lollipop 5.0.2 CM12 build (Temasek)

Features working:
*Start on boot
*Disable Touch Screen
*Spen Button Press (Spen Menu) (Quick Toggle Disable / enable touch screen)
*Change keyboard on Removal / Reinsert of spen

This has been missing on my note 3 for too long, Its great to have these features back when running CM builds.

Thanks very much emandt, i look forward to what's to come in the future :)

    but 4.99 euros to get the app? I have bought dozens of apps in Playstore and never payed that much for a single app
    It's your choice ;)

    Just for the others who could think the same:
    - (events) Note Buddy - Pro: 2,83 Euro (ugly menus and few features)
    - (gestures) GMD SPen Control: 4,12 Euro (well done but only Gestures at 90% of SPenCommand price)
    - (power management only on TW ROMs) Spen Power Saving Widget: 1,19 Euro
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    Sum is greater than 4,99 Euro and if you want more like:
    - personalized cursor
    - personalized AirCommand
    - editing screenshots taken on the fly with pessure capability
    - quick notes (aka "PostITs") with drawing capabilities
    - full touschscreen and keys disabled for fingers while active for stylus
    - open and edit an Image and drawing over it using stylus pressure
    .......there is only one App which does all this things in one time on unofficial ROMs: SPenCommand.
    One App (which not drains battery) to do anything.

    Thank you for your condivision.

    However 300 downloads/payments in 9days show that the App is special and unique.
    Thanks to all other supporters in the last 8 month of work! :good:

    I write this for who could have problems with my App(s): PLEASE CONTACT ME as first thing!

    I'm writing this because one user has just bought the App and 2 minutes laters he/she opened a PayPal contestation without saying something to the author (me) or tried to contact me.

    I don't know what was the problem.
    I don't know what didn't work.
    I don't know what he/she wanted to do.

    He/she just opened a PayPal contestation 2 minutes after the payment.
    I have no words.

    Refund is ALWAYS possibile within a week from purchase, so opening a PayPal contestation creates only problems to me and lengthens the time of refund. I suggest to contact me as FIRST ACTION when something doesn't work. There are two buttons in "About" section of the App with which you can contact me or join the Google+ Community asking for support...try to use those ways before any other.

    Thanks for the attention.
