I have been using the Jedi series and love the lightsaber sounds when removing Spen. Even when I flash any rom I have to have my sabers sounds.
So here is my idea someone make me a lightsaber Spen to go with the sound. Little black handle and clear on top with your pick of color.How freaking sweet would that be? Patent pending.....<--1/22/2013 lol
What do you guy think?
207 views and no one has anything to say. Come on ppl lets hear what you have to say even if its bad.
You could always just paint your own spen ans make it look like a lightsaber lol

lol with some glow in the dark paint.
Patent pending? Good luck battling disney for that one.
badass Idea! I'd pay for that... even a cheap light guide clear pen with an led in the handle would be sick as fzuck!
Better hurry up on that patent application - we are going to a first to file regime next month - discontinuing the first person to invent!?! Your publication might might trigger a 1 year grace period 1/22/2014... but still.
This seems like more of a design patent though vs. utility.
Those pictures of lightsabre pens attached might make some damn good prior art.
WHILE not a lightsaber pen - check out the yespen-s1 plus ... it's only really marketed in Korea... but it's on ebay sometimes for about $50... stylus, real ink, usb sdhc memory stick, bluetooth headset, handsfree, and a2dp (earpiece, speakerphone loudspeaker, 3.5mm headset plug)... would be sick to pipe out lightsaber sounds to the pen so the pen is actually emitting the e.g. "Swoooshzhhhz" Plus it does have a multicolored LED already in it. No accelerometer but the phone could detect strokes on the screen and responsively a2dp push a particular audio file according to speed, length, direction of pen swipe.

Sounds like a great idea! Maybe you can just called it a light sword! If you're really thinking into how you can accomplish it, you might want to check out Kickstarter or Indiegogo to get funding.
(You might also think about a Sonic Screwdriver one!)

Okay, so I think it's pretty much been proven that the box the nook color came in is probably one of the best product boxes... ever. And I came to show you why it is indeed absolutely amazing.
This is the time you go to look at the pictures, I attached
And now I tell you what I did:
1. Ripped apart my old external speakers
2. Made sure the speakers still worked, fixed them where they needed them
3. Cut 3 holes in my NookColor box
4. Placed speakers in 2 of the holes and ran the headphone jack through the other one.
5. Put the "motherboard", controls, and power source in bottom of box.
6. Win.
This is mainly for watching movies either on netflix or on my sd card, then it's also major win for when I play SNESoid, PSXoid, or N64oid. This is literally like having a tv(a small one). But I can also stand up my nook when I want to listen to music, but I don't really store music on my nook. Use my android phone for that.
Does anyone else think this is awesome????
Cool idea! I might try this out.
Very clever, I like it.
Yes, it is awesome. Good job. Cardboard actually sounds pretty good sound for building speaker cases.

I know I was quite impressed. There was very little to no(noticeable) distortion of any kind. Only problem is low quality speakers = lots of grain. But I would never do this to expensive speakers so I am okay
EDIT: I fixed the grain by messing with the Nook Tweaks App by dalingrin + using electric tape instead of packaging tape
Try googing 'infinite baffle'; you really should have made larger holes for the speakers so all of the rear facing cone was inside the box. Otherwise you get sound waves of opposite phase cancelling out, or otherwise distorting, the sound from the forward facing cones.
This is a neat idea for Barnes and Noble's Nook Color 2 implementation.

Yeah when I was installing the speakers I was actually thinking about that(I didn't know the term though). But for now I have the speakers like this because I have yet to find a real solution to their problem, I need to soder(spelling?) on the connections. Right now, I either have it wrapped around the connection or taped on. I'm scared something might break if I push them in as is.
That is a neat idea and actually makes for a pretty cool little stand.
btw it is spelled solder.

Yeah I saw other people modifying there's like painting it, adding a charging cable in it. So I got the idea for movie stand and decided to try it out, so thanks!
And hanks for the spelling tip as well, I have been pronouncing it "saw-der" since I first saw the word in 5th grade. (I used to be in the PSP hacking scene. Modifying batteries that would allow you to essentially "root" your PSP.) So when I needed to spell it I completely forgot about the "l".
Awesome!!! Got me thinking about a nice speaker setup
Totally agreed. It IS the best product box ever. I set it up on my desk at work and can slide it in and out for when I need to use it. Not to mention the magnetic shut, and solidity of the box...is there anything the Nook Color isn't amazing with?
Edit: I just figured out you can use the box as a stand too. I was wondering what that slit at the bottom was....I feel like a 'tard. ><
That is pretty original.... I like it!
Sent from MIUI'ed Nookie Color! Love the Nookie!
Looks great! Where's the subwoofer?
are those speakers powered solely by the nook's 3.5mm Jack?
Good idea, but we can tell that fabrication isn't one of your strong suits...lol
Loosely pack some fiber fill like from inside a pillow inside the speaker inclosure (behind the speakers) It should knock down the tinney sound somewhat.
Lol, this is a tad bit ridiculous, but cool nonetheless.
THat is freakin awesome man....very creative
cool idea great info
Just wondering whether anyone knows of any after market (non OEM) S Pens out there (or in development)? Im finding Im using the Note 2 almost exclusively with the S Pen and would like to try a different (high end) stylus.

Thanks for replying mate. Ive done a bit of a look around the internets and there seems to be mixed opinions about whether the wacom styles work or not. Given apparently the pen and the screen is made by Wacom I should be able to find one that does. What I would really like is a high end pen which fits in the phone.
I'm looking for a decent and large Spen too.
Here's another post on the Bamboo pen. I'm waiting for more info on whether it actually works well with the Note 2.

Im looking for an aftermarket one that has a real ink pen on the end. Has anyone seen one?
I think most active wacom styluses will work, I'm using one from my 2007 era tablet pc, the button works, the eraser end works and the pressure sensitivity works perfectly. No issues with alignment either.
I know this isn't an S-pen... it's a blobby capacitive pen emulating your finger: YesPen S1-plus
but this isht is sick as fcxzk. 1)Capacitive stylus - seems about the same (effectively) aside from the mushiness of it - you can still write great on the note; 2) real ink pen; 3)usb drive and sdhc card; 4)bluetooth earpiece; 5) bluetooth speakerphone; 6)integrated out of the box with samsung speak; 7) 3.5mm headphone(s) jack for a2dp stereo; 8) standard universal non-proprietary male usb (without the shield) built in for direct charging, usb memory, and sdhc access... 9) only $50 on ebay - less than half the price of the Samsung spen with bluetooth earpiece but soooo many more features.
CANNOT WAIT FOR THE YESPEN S2 if they ever make it - hopefully with spen too.
Anyone else try this yet or find an english language manual?
I've been using it for about a month and LOVE IT!
I've noticed that speaker horns are pretty common and cheap for ipads/iphones but I can't seem to find any for the N7. My N7 is already loud enough but the tone can really vary based on how I've got it propped up.
Has anyone seen them for sale or know of a generic alternative?
Not seen one but it should be pretty easy to make one? I know that the sound improves markedly when I use my hand as a kind of speaker horn to guide the sound to the front.
Let's wait for some industrious N7 user to 3d print one up. Seems like a great idea.
Especially if it transforms the stereo speakers to work in landscape mode properly.

Exactly. And seeing the popularity of the N7, I'm surprised no one has jumped on this yet when they're ubiquitous for Apple products.

Something like this? It's okay, but the idea of the horn is portability. There are some horns that are actual stands but others are merely clip on devices.

That actually looks great, but I'm thinking something smaller and portable. For example, this was on Shark Tank last week and got me thinking about the whole thing: thesoundbender.com . I've seen other "horns" that literally look like gramophones sticking out of the side, and there are a ton on ebay, so I'm surprised that even after the market has had several months to port things over to this tablet that nothing has come about.
Try looking on kickstarter, you're guaranteed to find a ridiculous amount of those and stupid iPhone cases and stands that all do the same thing.
Hi, i've bought the retro phone style to use with my phone. And I got a problem, whenever i try to plug it in, my sgn2 it recognizes it as headphones, and when i try to call with it i only get the speaker sound, but the microphone is dead, does anyone know what to do?

Yeah, need a link for an exact thing. I assume its a connection through headphone jack, just like any headphones with built in mic/remote. In theory it should be the same thing just a fancy replacement of headphone with some analog style retro phone?!? I would suggest to check your 3.5mm connector. Typically those will be partitioned into headphone/mic/control sections. The section for speaker on that connector is working ok, while the one for mic is not. Probably ask for a replacement? Also, if you have stock headphones or any other headphones with mic to pickup calls, test it out with your phone to make sure its not your phone connector problem.

I had really nothing to do in summer and all I did was eat chips and act if I was like a walrus. But deciding I didn't want to be the lazy person I am u decided to start a project. I had a few computer speakers laying around that sounded better than the note 2. So what I did was I went to home depot and bought some wood measured speaker sizes after ripping everything and putting everything back together so that I only needed a a case. So with my wood I just chopped a bit here and there made a box made a handle and after using a zigsaw to cut the headphone holes this is what I have. It was stained and painted too. It's actually nothing really cool but it worth ur time in my opinion. Oh and u also made a mouth for this so I can fit my note 2. Also you can add a blue tooth receiver which soon I will do

I remember making things like this in tech class in high school. I made a small amplifier to increase sound levels for my headphones. Everyone always asked how I got my headphones so loud..haha.. those were the days.
This would be a nice project with burlwood, internal 20 Watt amp and polished dark stained wood...maybe some acoustic engineering for included speakers and maybe a sub woofer....if done nicely it could be a good kick-starter project?, I know we have enough engineering tech and know-how on XDA to do it?

Compared to a 1.6L 4 cylinder engine, it's about twice as loud as an idling one, and maybe 60% as loud when it is revving. It's very hard to visualise for me, but the speaker is reasonably loud. I think the cardboard enclosure is absorbing more vibrations than it should though.
