Direct pen input
On the Applications screen, tap Settings → CONTROLS → S-Pen → Direct pen input, and then drag the Direct pen input switch to the right.
When hovering the S-Pen over a text field, T-icon appears at the upper left corner of the text field. Tap TTT to write with the S-Pen. To make simple corrections, change input languages, or enter a space between characters, tap each correction tool displayed on the handwriting pad.
When this feature is enabled, you can do the following actions:
• Send a handwritten message.
• Make a call by writing a contact name or a phone number on the keypad.
• Set an alarm just by writing numbers.
• Browse the Internet by writing web addresses.
Questions:
Is the S-Pen supported by /e/ OS (e-0.7-n-) at all ?

I’ll keep trying “INKredible” and “HandWrite” - but not on /e/ OS e-0.7-nougat, but on a brand new AOSP Android 10 based custom ROM from an experienced maintainer who also created ROMs for the N9005 in the past.
It comes without GApps, without microG - but supports signature spoofing and so the system can be configured with microG components (GmsCore, GsfProxy, UnifiedNlp, mapsv1).
Optionally the installation of GApps and Magisk is also possible, but not interesting for me. It offers a lot of functions - almost too much to get started with Android 10.
But it comes with only 10 pre-installed apps (browser, file manager, settings, camera, contacts, SMS/MMS, phone, clock).
First, “Private DNS” is activated with the data of a “Private DNS provider hostname”.
