Unified Remote could satisfy your desire in another way. It can make your Note run as a touch pad and as soon as you have a stylus pen you can open Photoshop on your PC and start painting in it with your stylus.
Unified remote has a free and a full version.

The "Graffiti" writing technology from the old PalmOS devices is available for Android now, and supports letter at a time text input with a stylus (or presumably a finger). Graffiti for Android.
However, something like DioPen or PenReader seems to be more what you're after. They both have very mixed reviews, and do seem to be better on some devices than ...

Quadrant is not a very good benchmark, beacuse the results vary a lot. Try running it four times in a row and you will be surprised. Antutu benchmark is much more reliable.
Don't worry about benchmarks though, they don't tell the whole story on real performance of the device anyway.

Mine was the Yahoo app. It was driving me mad. Nothing in the status bar, just a two-tone ding-ding. All the notification boxes in the app were unticked but it was still dinging.
Go to the app, - Options - Account settings - Notification Settings - Choose sound. If you touch the "Yahoo! Default" I bet you hear the two-tone ding. Select "No sound". I haven't ...

XDA Developers have published on May 10, 2012 an article regarding the update of GB ROM to ICS:
International Galaxy Note Official ICS Released, Repackaged
If you’re looking to install an ICS AOSP ROM on your Note, there's an article published on April 24, 2012:
Get AOSP ICS ROMs on the Galaxy Note the Easy and Safe Way
On both you'll find the step by ...

I would suggest flashing the stock ICS (or Gingerbread, if you prefer) ROM via Odin. Full instructions here.
Get the official image from http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/ (search for "N7000" and select the download for the appropriate region.)
Download and install the USB drivers (for 32 bit or 64 bit Windows)
Download the Odin tool.
Extract the contents ...

Use Galaxy Note as digitizer or graphics tablet for PC (small project of mine) - maybe this could be relevant, but not exactly what you are looking for. But I found this post based on my search query, so maybe it could be interesting to someone else.

There's a keyboard better that that of Blackberry: SwiftKey X. Believe me, you'll love its Artificial Intelligence based suggestions. It learns from your typing habits to suggest you better. And, it can learn from Twitter, Facebook, Gmail and RSS Feed too (Quick Learning).

As far as I know the stylus used with the Galaxy Note is special and works only with this particular device, so using that input method with different phones would mean to use the finger instead.
Having tried the handwriting recognition of the Note I found that it is not quite as good as it seemed on first glance and I went back to using "Graffiti for ...

I would guess that Samsung failed to provide proper support for Yahoo Mail. Therefore I recommend that you install the offical Yahoo Mail app. It should work out of the box.
Antoher approach is to forward your yahoo mail to your google mail. They advantage is that you don't have to use an additional e-mail app.

No, this isn't possible. The Galaxy Note is a GSM phone whereas Virgin Mobile USA is a CDMA network (it is a subsidiary of Sprint). The two are not compatible. In addition to this, CDMA carriers typically only activate phones that are specifically branded for their networks, so you can't even use a Sprint phone on Virgin unless you "know a guy" or find a ...

Yes, just go to: Contacts -> Menu -> Import/Export -> From SIM to Phone

At first, there's a current Hardbrick warning and a tool to diagnose this for the Galaxy Note (and other Samsung devices).
Here's the Galaxy Note N7000 CM9 team's current issue list, it doesn't mention missing S-Pen functionality (unlike an experimental build #1) so I guess it's fixed.
The CM9 alpha for N7000 announcement on XDA also mentions S-Pen ...

If you would like something on your screen in addition to the notification in your notification bar, I would suggest using something like GoSMS with WidgetLocker.
If I'm correct in your understanding, this will do what you want: Set up WidgetLocker to be your unlock screen and then place a GoSMS messaging widget on your lock screen, so you can read the ...

That sounds like a known problem updating apps which were moved to the SD-Card using App2SD. It does not always happen -- but if it does, a helpful work-around is:
move the app back to internal memory
run the update (should work now)
move the app to SD again (optional -- if you want it to be on the external SD)

I had the same problem, did everything I could think of. Finally last night, I decided to try something different. I ran Kies in "Compatibility Mode for XP SP3" it took forever, left the phone plugged in while I went to bed, woke up this morning with 4.1 finally on it.
I run a Windows 7 Premium Home 64bit. Not sure if this will help with everyone's ...

Shareing is a feature the application needs to explicitly code for and then advertise to the system that it accepts share requests. If you have an SCP app that you like but it is not offering the share feature try checking if the developer has a website with more information. If you still have no luck try emailing the developer and asking for the feature.

I notice this annoyance too.
Looks like the best solution is to enable volume key text resizing, and leave it enabled.
Once you disable it, the Messages app resets the text size to the huge (on the Galaxy Note, that is) font/bubble size.
This won't be noticeable on other phones; the real cause is that the GNote is big, which is what all GNote owners like ...

Assuming an Android version of 3.1+, external drives should be supported via USB host mode by most devices -- see Compro01's comments below:
Not all devices support USB host mode, 3.1+ or not. Chainfire has a nice app to test compatability (and an extensive database of reports from that app on which devices work and which don't).
Also, if we're ...

You could perhaps download a font from the Google play store? I've seen some fonts packs up there.
e.g.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.develop.plugin.font&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5kZXZlbG9wLnBsdWdpbi5mb250Il0.
Some of these will more than likely require your device be rooted.
Or you can change the size of your ...

Peculiar. On my GS3 on 4.1.1, it saves the font size (i.e. after closing and opening it again, it is the same size as I set it with the volume key.
This may wipe your messages (find a way to back them up if you'd like them), but have you tried clearing the Messaging app's data in Application Manager -> All?

The simple and straightforward method to set the default launcher is the one you used:
Tap the Home button.
Tap ADW.Launcher.
Tap Always.
If this isn't working for some reason, then it might help to describe what the device is doing instead.

Same problem for me (SGS2 i777) on Windows 7 64bits:
I could fix it by going to control panel=>programs=>programs and features. There is an option called Run programs made for previous versions of windows: click on it, follow the steps, troubleshooting will start and a list of programs will appear, once the list is populated select Samsung Kies lite and ...

Had the same problem with a Samsung Galaxy S.
I persisted and left it plugged in while I went on to do something else. When I came back later on the phone screen was all blue and the pc went to sleep:
THE PHONE WAS BRICKED
The app then says it needs to restore from an error but it freezed the same way it did on the initial update attempts.
I managed to ...

Grab MAC address of Wi-Fi adapter of device. Go to Settings ~> Wireless and Network ~> Wi-Fi Settings and tap/press options key. Then, tap Advanced. Here, you can get MAC address. The method can vary based on firmware.
Look up this MAC address at http://www.techzoom.net/tools/check-mac.en or http://www.coffer.com/mac_find/ . If device isn't legitimate, you ...

CWM is not supporting ROMs and recovery images for the Galaxy Note yet. It is mistaken with Galaxy SII and other models.
If you are rooting your phone, DON'T USE THE CWM.ZIP file or you will brick it.
I've done it myself without knowing and now I cannot install roms or ever restore factory settings :(

My favourite note taking app so far is Papyrus You can have infinite length note surface and use two fingers to move around the note and a single finger as an eraser. All drawings are vectors.
The quick note taking app that pops up double clicking the pen is really shitty and the editing with polaris office too basic. I still have to do a lot of playing ...

It's also worth mentioning that you can install other launchers such as ADW Launcher which allows for themes which will completely change the look of the homescreen and icons on it. For instance, this Antique CM theme is a theme for ADW Launcher, as is this Red ADW Theme which as you can see looks very different. You can also download replacement contacts ...

Try Touchdown. Their feature list includes "Email Folders" and allows for rules/filters (per this thread). If you like it, make sure to buy a licence before the 30-day trial is up.
I'm not an Exchange-on-Android user myself, but of those I know who are many prefer Touchdown.
