Recommend apps for Galaxy Note 2

[Geekbabe]

Just got the Note 2 & would like to get some great apps for it, what do you recommend?

Sketchpad Mobile -- if you're into drawing, it takes great advantage of the pressure sensitivity of the stylus/digitizer

World of Goo is great with the s-pen.

See if there is a build of paranoid android for the note 2 on XDA. Thank me later.

AOSP ROMs are useless on the Note. No multi-window, no real S-Pen support...

MyScript Calculator

You write the equation, it morphs your writing into text/numbers on the fly.

No multi-window yes, but some s-pen support is there. You have your gestures and the pressure sensitivity for instance.

There is, first ROM I tried. Seemed buggy as hell though, and lacked a number of options the PA version for my GS3 had. Which sucks cause PA is awesome on the GS3.

Im on Liquidsmooth now because it has all the options I wanted, except for the dpi stuff etc. that PA has. Some bugs, but it works well enough.

I guess if you really want the full s-pen experience you need to be running a Touchwiz based rom. The ability to force apps into a tablet interface is a much bigger deal in my day to day use. With such a large screen it makes a big difference for apps that support alternate UI.

As for apps. There isn't much in the way of killer apps that specifically take advantage of the s-pen. Mostly drawing apps. I use the autodesk sketch one on my note. After the initial "wow I have a pen!" of the first couple months I mostly pull it out for drawing on games like drawsomething, art programs, and occasionally while web browsing to select stuff easier without zoom.
