📄 APK details

  • File: SamsungNotes_4.4.09.6_Port_Android6-17_signed.apk
  • Package: com.samsung.android.app.notes
  • Version: 4.4.09.6 (440906000)
  • minSdk: 23 (Android 6.0) · targetSdk: 33
  • Signature: project release key (CN=Invokeil-OAPQX Samsung Notes Port) — signatures v1 + v2 + v3

⚠️ If the official Samsung Notes is already installed on your device, uninstall it first — this build uses its own signing key and cannot update a differently-signed installation.

✨ What works

  • Full note taking: text, handwriting, drawings, images, audio recordings
  • Complete original UI/UX — nothing redesigned, nothing removed visually
  • S Pen SDK is bundled inside the app → inking works on any touchscreen with any capacitive stylus (no S Pen hardware needed)
  • Local notes storage, search, trash, sharing, PDF/image export

ℹ️ Non-Samsung device notes

  • Samsung Cloud / Samsung account sync is unavailable outside Samsung devices — local notes work fully.
  • Device-specific integrations (DeX, flip cover, Knox, Samsung fingerprint dialogs) fall back to standard Android behavior.

🔨 Source

The complete buildable source (apktool project: smali, resources, manifest, native libs) is in this repository's main branch. Build with:

java -jar apktool.jar b . --use-aapt2
java -jar uber-apk-signer.jar -a dist/*.apk --allowResign --overwrite
