About S-Pen Only (Xposed Module)
NOTE: Requires a rooted device with Xposed installed. This will not work on a stock Note device.
A module for the Xposed framework for Galaxy Note devices that limits touch input to the S-Pen to prevent interference from your skin when trying to write naturally.
This module also provides a floating window that allows you to quickly toggle the S-Pen-only mode without having to disable the module and reboot the device. You can close the floating window either by launching the app again or clicking on the notification tied to the window.
Permission usage:
SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW: This is used to create the floating toggle window
READ/WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: The toggle is implemented via the existence of the file "spenonly" on the external storage

Behavior is somewhat weird: many apps require toggling it AFTER they are opened to stop accepting touches, some get stuck in mode they are started with. But hey! It works and that's what matters. I'm using it on Galaxy Note 10.1 2014. Also, I use hardkey to toggle it instead of floating window (remove/create file with primitive script, call it with SL4A and Xposed additions).

I've Been using Samsung 'Notes' for a couple years now: So I have a few years worth of The side of my hand and palm adding a few extra 'Corrections' to my writing + Sketch booking. This Works flawlessly on Note 10.1 2014 with x-posed. Hope Samsung Contacts you + buys rights. This Should be Stock 'Note' software. Thanks again. This is a great help.

This appears to do nothing in Kitsap. The button turns green but I can still accidentally zoom with my Palm in sketchbook pro.

I can toggle the floating window on and off with the app button (this part does work), however the app doesn't seem to have any effect when it comes to distinguishing between the s-pen and my hand.

My main issue with the s-pen isn't accidentally writing with the palm of my hand. It's resizing the window or even moving the window around. I want absolutely no skin-to-screen functionality - spen only, literally. This doesn't seem to provide that. Or am I doing it wrong? Oh, actually it requires the device to be rooted and xposed framework to be installed. Ooops. Yah I don't feel like rooting.

Needs features though Suggestion : Sir please Provide a shortcut (not widget) for this functionality, floating icon isn't suitable for me, also this app can't disable navigation keys...... Galaxy note 10.1 n8000 Kitkat 4.4.2 Omni Rom Thank you!
